Tuesday morning we are again on the wing.
This time it is the Michigan Central, and oar
destination Niagara Falls. The party begins to
look picturesque , with its motley impedimenta.
Fulton,of course,solemnly checks his trunk, and
we watch the operation carefully to see that he
taakes no Mistake. The rest of the party lug
along traveling bags, Indian arrows and bows,
buffalo robes, bull whackers' whips, the lash nine
feet long, and warranted to take a beefsteak out
the live animal every time; chess boards, rolls of
music. big photographs, baskets of prickly pears,
and mineral specimens. Spruhan totes a lamp
of bituminous . coal under his arm, from
Nebraska to Now York. and the "Governor" con
verts his forty-cent straw hat into a cactus bag
With these and lots more, we pack ourselves
away in a handsome day car of the Michigan
Central, and say good-bye to Chicago, with
many pleasant memories of Its open hospitali
ties. Our car is beautifully built and furnished,
but it has patent ventilators that keep it very hot
all day. It was during this day's ride across
Michigan, that we took to spelling-matches, by
way of atonement, and great was the fun
thereat. Philadelphia, and Dana for New York,
took the field against all comers, with triumphant
success. We trotted out all the regular old hard
words. Poniard, embarrassment, unparalleled,
harassed, separate, innuendo, and a hundred
more, and our antagonists were routed right and
left, horse, foot and dragoons. Boston became
shockingly demoralized, and Pittsburgh,—but
no, Pittsburgh shall draw her own. smoky veil
around her and rest secure. Innuendo bothered
them worst of all, and shrewd Redpath books
numberless small wagers on Philadelphia's ortho
graphic lore, which were decided in his favor
over a quarto Worcester, at Niagara.
We reached Detroit without special adventure
at 6.n0 P. M., and enjoyed a capital supper as we
crossed the river in H. B. M. steamer Whatsher

simply could not be surpassed. We ate several.
before we landed in Her Majesty's dominions at
Windsor. There the übiquitous Pullman again
receives us with his friendly care. Our sleeping
palace is, if anything, larger than the "Omaha,"
the beds almost easier and the linen a faint shade
whiter than the snowy sheets on the C. & N. W.
This may have been a fancy.
From 7 P. M. to 4 A. M. we rattle along, all
sound asleep, and then some of us are aroused to
enjoy a first sight of that beautiful specimen of
mechanical genius, the Suspension Bridge. The
morning is a little foggy, but we turn out on the
rear platform and enjoy the grace and symmetry
and unyielding firmness of the famous structure
as we glide dcross it and are once more on our
native eon. We encamp at the International,
among a swarm of dentists who are holding a
Convention at Niagara. We dismiss the profes
sion with a single remark. We detected a lot of
them during the day, tacking up their business
cards around thetgallery of Terrapin Tower ! and
two of them we saw, with our own eyes, scrib
bling their names on the pretty, new bridges on
the Three Sisters. As for these last, we waited
until they had gone on, and then deliberately
erased their names with an old newspaper. So
perish the memory of all scribblers in public
places.
We spent the day at Niagara, but what shall
we say of that day? There were those of us who
saw the grand culminating wonder of all na
ture's majesties for the first time, and he who
writes of Niagara, upon a first few hours' con
tact with it, belongs to those who
The Falls, the rapids, the islands, the whirl
pool, the deep thunder of that eternal diapason,
the ceaseless "smoke of their torment" that rises
up forever and forever, from the vexed waters
as they are crushed to foam in the fearful cald
ron,—these are not things to be told in a flying
sketch like this.
But we may tell about our bath.
A doien of us adventured the Cave of the
Winds. How pretty we looked as we emerged
from the dressing-rooms! The neat-fitting felt
shoe, that clings to thr slippery rock with such a
sense of security; the graceful oil-skin helmet;
the becoming shirt and trowsers,girded about with
a piece of 'wet twine. Clarke's ankles stuck out
at least two feet, and Faulkner was indescribable.
Down we go, around and around the spiral stairs
out upon the eloping path, until we are close un
der the caves of the American Fall. With faces
averted from the thundering sheet of water, we
step upon the narrow, wooden bridge and
are smitten well nigh breathless by the storm of
wind and spray that dispute out passage. In the
first second we are soaked to the skin and blind

At Chicago we are the guests of that superior
hotelist, Drake, of the Tremont, and it was evi
dent that he meant it, when be Invited us. The
two dinners, on Sunday and Monday, and the
farewell - breakfast on Tuesday morning, linger in
our memory like a beautiful dream.. Danit!
Dana! will we ever be utterly unmindful of that
Mackinaw trout? It will be impossible,ever being
bound Chicago-ward, not to, go to the Tremont.
On Monday, a sub-committee of us went to
the great stock yards. They are one of the
" sights "of Chicago. Acres upon acres of cat
tiO sheds and yards; a bank, doing a large busi
ness; a hotel, rejoicing in a landlord named
Tucker, who knows a party of Eastern editors at
sight, and knowing, understands their wants at
Mich time; a magnificent artesian well, 1,200
feetBßep and more, pouring up a superb column
of clear, cold water, six inches through, and
850,000 gallons every day ; a net-work of rail
way tracks by which every road approaching
Chicago pours in the Rye stock to this common
centre, whither come hundreds of thousands of
cattle, and millions of hogs to be slaughtered
and packed in Chicago- or reshipped, to other
points. Chicago now actually beats Cincinnati
on pork.
At dinner, on Monday—such ailinner ! the
Rocky Mountain Press Club was organized. The
object of the Club is,—to do it again! J. G.
Hobbs was elected President; S. D. Page, Vice
President, and, after a naturally tierce struggle,

ME PENNA. - ACADEQIY OF FINE
[MEM
As a Museum, as a School, and as an
Kxchangre.
We propose first to notice critically and his
torically the treasures of which the Academy at
Philadelphia, in the course of ils long and varied
history, has become possessed.
Oppressed from its infancy with the troubles
and impediments of a provincial college, striving
for advancement amid the indifference of a most
Lagligent commnnity,our Academy has never had
any patronage to boast of, nor been able to fulfil
at any time the laws proper to its heal
thy development. Its story has been that
of some impertinent garden seedling dropped
among the clearings of a new country, and
compelled to thrust its exotic honors through the
bearded harvest that overbore it on every side.
But it has never lost the element of growth and
life that bore It on; it has never ceased to be the
foremost art-school in the country; it has never
ceased to open its friendly gates for the exhibi
tion of a museum in which may be studied ex
amples of many of the most instructive develop
ments of art. The tempting beauty bf its galleries
—small, home-like, gracefully proportioned, per
fectly lighted—has attracted the public, and com
mended the treasures enshrined therein. It
wins the passer-by from the thronging
and hideous street by the glimpse of -its cool
repose and its air of preoccupied seclusion. The
stranger, passing the light iron rail, spies within
a green and flowery court, dappled with the wav
ing shadows of the vines, and strewn with the
faint petals that drift from the loveliest hawthorn
tree in America. tinder this stands a tall Greek
marble in a pose of inimitable nobility, wearing
first with the old Hellenic grace the snowy chin
mys, and over that the changeable leopard robe
of shadow thrown from the whispering thorn.
The broad marble steps lead to a small
lonic portico, plain and pure. The urns
of flowers that decorate them are of the sweetest
Grecian elegance ; colossal busts, of milk-white,
marble, bend their unchangeable brows from
square grave pedestals: a broad door gives one to
see, in the stillness and demi-tint of the interior,
the grand academia group of Lough ,— demigods,
monsters, chimeras and nymphs battling toge
ther in one huge, pale monochrome, touched
with silver edges in the perpendicular cataract of
light that falls from the mimic sun at the centre
of the graceful rotunda. Then within, as yea
enter, you find a charming little museum of the
oddest contrasts; •the bargains and legacies accu
mulated by the Academy in a half-century; the
dubious old masters; the sickly, fade, Watteau
lab French pictures imported by fugitive Bona
partes; grave Spanish -school portraits that chill
you from the Walls; little Flemish cabinet inte
riors; enormous sails of cloth covered by ,the
grandiose brush of West; now and then an acci
dental Italian or Belgian masterpiece of modern
date : and these varied treasures separated in a
horse-shoe of elegant rooms that half embrace
the principal Rotunda,. so tastefully, that the
jewels of the Vatican—the Apollo, the.Meleager,
theTorso,—hardly await the visitor with more
privacy in their marble cabinets, than oar own
Leander, and Penelope, and Opting, and Ghi
berti,-and Pradieryin-their-petteeftd- belvideres.---
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
PATRTTSGS BY CHARLES ROBERT LESLIE, R.-A.
Among the warmest, dearest, helpfullest, truest
friends of the Academy, when that Alma Mater
was a very infantine,. rickety, sketchy Alma
- Meter indeed, was the loveable painter Leslie.
In his boyish letters indited from London to
sister Betsey, when the latter was composing
newspaper -tales about Uncle Philip and Mrs.
Washington Potts, in Philadelphia, he is inces
sant in his inquiries about the growing Academy.-
The latter possesses a number of works by this
artist, which to a critical eye have the strangest
air of unlicked adolescence. They all belong
to, the formative period of the minter's life, and
exhibit a liberal crop of his faults, together with
unmistakeable evidence of his ultimate skill. The
best is perhbps his portrait of Lancaster, the edu
cational reformer (No. 61), an unimpeachable bit
of drawing and expression belonging to Leslie's
early prime, but still without value in color. The
most interesting, however, of the Lealles in the
Academy's possession, are the three water-color
skeiches of the player Cooke, the success
.of which determined him to be a painter.
If this little group of youthful works , by
Leslie had been accessible to Mr. Taylor when
composing his agreeable Biography, a decided
gain to the earlier chapters of the memoir would
have resulted. It comprises, first ; the aforesaid
sketches in aquarelle; next, his "academies" of
the Parnese Hercules and West's '"Alusidora;''
then his frightful "Death of Rutland," wherein,
in utter ignorance of his vocation, he attempts
the heroic method of boredom after the manner
of his deity, West. And lastly the more finished
and masterly head of Lancaster. They compose
a full and interesting illustration of the youthful
schooling of a very precious and generous art
-life.
Charles Robert Leslie, a London-born Ameri
can, was brought to Philadelphia at the age of
six, In 1804. Apprenticed to the Philadelphia
booksellers Bradford and Inekeep, he wearied of
business, but read London books on the sly in
their first virginity, before his customers; he
orritrarammiwinuarirrivariraugairanw—rrawr.uutiya
discovered bending over drawings instead of over
invoices or accounts. His evenings passed in the
theatre. When he was fifteen or-sixteen years of
age, the great player, Cooke, arrived in Phila
delphia, filling the house from pit to roof, and
cramming the streets a day in advance
with gentlemen's porters in nightcaps,
who slept standing as they waited for their
tickets, or allowed smarter rascals to scramble
over their shoulders to the door. The civic sen
sation intoxicated young Leslie, with whom
emotion ' found the outlet of Art. The three
,nquarelles at the Academy are those sketches'of
Cooke which, exhibited by master Bradford at
the Exchange Coffee House, were so praised by
the bourgeois critics there, that the
blushing young apprentice was kindly released
by his employer, and sent to study in England
with pockets crammed with money from Brad
ford and letters from Mr. Bally. These portraits
are on time -stained bits of paper a few inches
over, numbered 109, • 112 and 113 in
the catalogue, and represent Cooke in
three of his great parts, Othello,
Falstaff, and "Richard 111. They are creditable
works for a lad of sixteen. The two latter are
really good, representing in one case the lady
killing leer of the fat knight, and in the other the
profound irony with which the hunchback re
views hie own per after Ms mrial conquest of
the Lady Anne,—finding himself "a marvelous
proper man." The satire in each case IP- given
with perfect understanding, subdued and self
possessed. The attempt at tragedy in Othello is
a complete fiasco, resulting in a high-wrought
and laughable scowl, precurrent of Leslie's inevi
table failures in after life whenever he attempted
to get out of his proper genre of high comedy.
The three, however, are quite good enough to
become a day's wonder at a provincial club•
house, when credited to the ignorant prentice of
a quaker bookseller. They made the boy's for
tune. lost us the citizenship of one of the most
agreeable and companionable Philadelphians
who ever belonged to us, deprived Sully of his
bright young pupil, and opened out for the latter
an easy, serene, sometimes courtly career in the
English Bohemia.
We will next notice the remaining Lealies be
longing to the Academy.
ANOTHER DARING BOND ROB LIERY.
Forty Thousand Dollars Stolen from
the Office of the Situ' Insurance Coin.
• • - •
Puny•
Yesterday, at about two o'clock in the after
noon, a young man of respectable appearance
entered the office of the Star Fire Insurance Com
pany, No. 96 Broadway, and inquired of one of
the clerks at the counter if Mr. (mentioning
the name of a gentleman who occasionally calls
there) was within. He was answered that the
clerk did not know, and directed to proceed to
the back office and make further in
quiry there. The counter where ques
tioner and questioned In this dialogue stood, one
on each side of it, is just inside the street door,
running at right angles from the front of the
building. The counter is about three feet in
height and terminates, about six feet from the
wall, in a range of desks a foot higher than the
counter, used in the transaction of the business
of the company. During the colloquy given above
the secretary of the company stood at the extreme
end of this long desk, nearest the light, taking
down the numbers of a quantity of five-twenty
bonds of different-denominations, amounting in
all to $40,000, which had just been received in the
office as collateral on a loan made by the company,
and accompanying which the customary mem
orandum of numbers had not been received. Just
as the young man was informed to look for the
party he inquired for in the back oflice,the secre
tary, having occasion to use a blot sheet, slightly
turned his head from the light to reach one, and
almost immediately resuming his former position
found, to hie consternation, that in this slight
interval the bonds had been removed, snatched
away,while the eight of "the young man"making
rapid tracks up the steps into the street informed
him 'by whom. To jump over the counter and
follow the thief occupied the secretary but an
instant; but on gaining Broadway his cry of
"Stop thief!" brought such a crowd around, all
eager to learn what was the matter, that he lost
sight of the fugitive, and was obliged to relin
quish the pursuit of him. That the man entered
the office of the insurance company with the in
tention of stealing and used the name of a party
whom he may -have- - learned - sometimes called
there, or dropped on the name hap-hazard, as an
excuse for coming in, is .almost certain,, as the
bonds had just been carried round from Jay Cooke
dr, Co.'s office, whence they had doubtless
been foll Owed, in the hope that a favorable op
portunity would offer on the street for stealing
them, which not happening caused.the thief in
very desperation at losing 'tits rich a prize to risk
the bolder movement. - The company desire It
stated that the lose of these bOnde, even , If never
recovered, Will not in the leaat cripple them or
materially affect their monetary safety.

on its service is of such magnitude that it ab
sorbs a kregtt part of the products of the guano.
If up to 1874 our wants could be reduced (says
the report) without contracting new obligations,
the financial situation of Peru in 1874 would "be
most flattering."
The minister besides calls attention to the die
atzreeable tact of the enormous increase in the
public expenses during the short period of thir
teen years, and the disproportionate diminution
that during the same period the income has suf
fered. In fact, in sight of numbers, it is to be
noted that from 1850 to 1863 the expenses have
been tripled and the income has decreased by
nearly 30 per cent. From the report of the
Minister it results that the advances which have
been made by the consignees of guano, and
which must be paid from the net proceeds of
said measure, are so enormous that the govern
ment will be deprived of those products for a
long time.
From the statistics lately published, it results
that in the late elections Colonel Balta has had
4.825 votes for the Presidency Colonel
Zevallbs, 2,949 for first Vice Presidency, and.
General Francisco Diaz Canseca 2,176 for the se
cond Vice Presidency.
The Supreme Government has ordeied that
_from next autumn the consignees of guano in
crease 10 shillings the price of each effective ton
of guano that they sell in their respective de
posits.
Mr. Carlos Brieger has been recognized as Con

Pilgrimage to John Huss's Monument
—Geligions Enthusiasm—Ancestry of
the Great Itetormer.
Efrerromer, July 19.—i think it interesting to
report the pilgrimage just made to the monu
ment of John Huss, which took place on the
anniversary of his martyrdom, namely, on the
6th instant. A letter from an eye witness of
the same says—" Amid crxthordinary Mani
testations of sympathy from tar and
near, among which those of the neigh
boring Swiss were remarkable manifesta
tions which contrasted with the • reserved
bearing of the population of Constance itself—
the pilgrimage of the Czechs to the monument
erected In honor of John Huss took place. About
two hundred and fifty pilgrims, including a score
of ladies, marched, preceded by a band and by
three appropriate banners, to the Hess stone,
whereon the garlands brought' for the occasion
were deposited, Three Czechish speeches and
one German speech were made and several Bohe
mian songs were given.
The three Czechish speakers were the Rev. Mr.
Fleischer, the Slovak leader, Hurban, and the
man of letters, Karl Sabina.' Joseph Fricz, the
Czechlan exile, was the spokesman In German.
He insisted that the Czechs desire to live in har
mony with the Germans in Bohemia. The
weather was favorable, and the various national
Slavic costumes had a_picturesque effect. At the
banquet in the Town Hall of Constance, at which
many of the citizens were present, Hurban spoke
to the toast of John Huss and Sabina to that of
the town of Constance. This lattet toast was
responded to by Dr. Stiitzberger, of Constance,
who proposed a toast to the solidarity of the
people, to liberty and civilization.
The following incident of this fete deserves to
be widely known : A gentleman presented him
self to the pilgrims as a descendant of the family
of the martyr, and adduced in proof of this claim
a circumstantial genealogical tree. According to
this John Huss's father was named John Joseph,
and was born in Hussinec, In 1330. His wife was,
Elizabeth Tovicek. The pair had three sons,
namely, Jerome, John and Benedict. The Huss
family emigrated subsequently to Salzburg, and
in the reign of Leopold 1., to Altheim. The
claimant is Nicholas Huss,and ho is a merchant In
Langenzon, near Nuremberg, in Bavaria.—Cor.

—Artificial ice is manufactured on an extensive
