that the majority of the United States Con

against Great Britain. So - long es their
new citizenship is a bona fiderqualification,
made in accordance with the Airteridan'
• naturalization laws, nothing can be said.
I The real purpose of the Fenian is protected
's by the new citizenship thus conferred on
- him to make war upon the Queen of Eng
land in her realm. But here, they Must be
treated as subjects guilty of treason. Aliens
and natives are on the same footing in such a
case. The denialof ajury mecliatate lingua

Pittsburgh in itself, dirty, dingy, disa
greeable, yet withal the heart of the ireat="
est' manufacturing distract in • the world,
where capital and labor thrive, and where
idleness is almost unknown, has its garden
spots in the suburbs which surround it.
The ci y proper, overgrown, crowded,
while it is a good place for the brain to
thrive, is a peer place for the weary body
to oltain recreation from toil. It is a place
kir work, but no place fox recreation. TheT
garden spots referred to may be reached in,
almost every direction by the Iron
ways, which chain the mountains to the
,aeaboard, and it is one of these highways
with its' surroundings that demands our
~ present attention.
.7. The great• Union Depot,i ! located nearly In
'the heart of the city, with the huge Eleva
tor froWning down upon it, sends froni-its
portals daily over twenty accommodation
,trainst'bearing as a living freight hundreds
"of our merchants and busy' mechanics to,
the fresh air of the country, now teeming'
with the odor of new-mown hay, the
breath Of fragrant flowers, with the accom
paniment' of warbling birds and gurgling
brooks, atriong which the cares of the-day
vanish,rapidly infusing new life and vigor
into the veins, and better fitting one for
the returnAof labor of each successive
morning.
. ,
SuppOse we take the early morning train
of the Pennsylvania Central - Railway,
yclept Routh's No. 1. Wall's Accommcida
tion. The luxurious cars fitted up express
ly for the local travel—fitted up alike for
'the rich hnd the poor, -- for, "the Lord is
Maker of them all, —fi - surpass for .ease
and comfort anytither train leaving the Cen
tral Station. Slowly we leave the Depot,
erawlin'g along in a serpentine manner over
the numerous switches carefully watched
over by the vigilant switchmen. As we
near the German Catholic Church on Fac
tory street r the index on the clock In the
tall iron spire points to 6:45. In ,three min
utes more we reach the outer depot, where
a number of brawny, iron -fisted! workmen,
by whose labor the motive power of this
great iron highway is accelerated, step Out,
and away the train starts for Lawrence
-vile. At this point 115evler's immense
Brewery at'the foot of Iron City Park,
looms up , in gigantic proportions, and
as we ,wind around the curve at Den
ney's, new houses of mushroom growth dot
the' hillsides, look, for all the world
like the_ r l l / a 8 in thh Swiss cantons,
only waiting jhe broad roofs, herds of goats
and sndw-capped bills. to complete thitpic...
tuje. As wernesr—the-statiotr at-MIT/Vale,
passing the'lprofane improvement" to the
left,-'s charming ravine opens up to the
right, with its race, woolen mill, and vine
clad
cottage, the latter 'soon to be super
ceded by a villa of more modern construc
tion;'
but the ravine, with its grand.i old
woods Its hillside, its murmuring brook,
and the picturesque rocks scattered around
remind one of Nature and of Nature's God.
Away we 'start again, and three minutes
more
.brings us to -
'with its beautiful suburban residences, for
the wealth of the city commences here to
beautify the country.' A. fine design for a
fountain, at the foot of Dr. Hussey s prop
erty, looking like a wayside fountain of
sunny Italy, Stands boldly out to view
near the station. For more than two years
it has been silent—no gushing stream
having made its weleome appearance.
Elegant mansions are seen through the
trees in all directions, with Sowers, gravel
walks and fish ponds; denoting the home
of taste and wealth.
nour's STATION, ,
with its new station house, is next reached,
and here are evidences or wealth and lux
ury on every 'side. Here, too, is McF.sr
land's Grove, a picnic ground, buttoo often
for stald'Pittsburgh the scene of rampant
rowdyism. 'More suburban residences are
passed, and at five minutes past seven we
reach '
EAST. LID Torr. -
At this point,-nearly tiro -thirds of our
passengersleave and but few remain upon
the train. With' all this distance from the
Union Depot, we are still in the city, al
though five miles - from the Court house,
for reader we are now consolidated ; and
East Liberty is but one of the wards of the
great city. Two policemen, in, all the dig
nity of blue coats and brass buttons, Pana
ma hator.and ratan canes, make us forget
the country. Ten `years ago, and this was:
a village; town lots were not then in de.
mand, and attempts at selling property in•
• prospective werelooked upon with suspi
cion. Behold the change ! To-day, East
Liberty numbers a population of over 5,000
inhabitants and 800 new buildings have
been erected during the past year. An
elegant.new City Hanle now being built, a
new Lutheran _church added to the six
places of public worship, and anew Episco
pal Academy and Parsonage is being rapids
1y completed. . Many of our, leading mer
chants reside Imre, and it is one the most
prominent passenger points oothe accom
modation line of trains., _ • .
TONRENS STATION.
_
Half a mile beyond East Liberty we
reach's new suburb, as above named. here
are the immense stock yards of the Penn
sylvania Central F,a.ilroail, with their ample
'
sheds, stablesand pens, their adeoMmoda
tions for droves,and three telegraphic Of
fices. A stook exchange is needed here,
like, that of Brighton or Bull's Head. This
, however, come in time. Near the
stock yards is the depot i around which
many new buildings are-clustering. With
in a few rods are five brick yards, which
give employment many people. Anoth
er half mile and we reach •
RONEWO9D,
Passing the elegant new residence ofCoun
sailor Hopkins, with its Mansard roof and
modern - Improvements, costing .a large sum
of money. Just back from the station
stands the residence of B." L., Falmeatock.

of ,a palace than a private residenee in

to' hang areund it, perhaps from the fact
that it cost the lives of three valuable men
in its construction. It stands grand,

it a place of much attraction, and it Is said
t'o be the most costly residence in Western

where conductor Routh stops for breakfast,
after which the train returns to the city.
The excellent accommodations of this

Routh, Kirkpatrick and Hopkins render it
an attractive road for the public. Our next
