ABBRABILA
The land of this young and promising
• State is fully equal to that_ of lewa. The
Talley of the Platte, ' some` thous
and mileslong and averages fifteen miles in
; width; is one of the finest, most beautiful
and productive in thewcirld. It is washed
by the clear, alkaline waters of the Platte;
_along whose line the, Union Pacific road
is laid some three hundred miles. (Graft;
Bennett & Co. of Pittsburgh, made a neat
,
plum by purdjasingsome thousands of acres
in this valley near Omaha,florae' years ego,
at a trifling price. Their possessiOns now

• Fremont is the first station of any
tance west of Omaha. -It-is in an .agricul - -
'Aural district and bids fair to become a
• thriving town. Columbus, ninety-one
miles from. Omaha, is next struck. It is as
, yet a small village of probably fifteen hund
red inhabitants. This is said ,to be the ex-'
act centre nf the' Contin ent, , ' and pessesses
some little interest to the traveler, when he
- is told 'that George Fxanciii Train takes
large stock in its Annie greatness, and that

Here there is a capital railroad dining t
room, extensive work shops, and several'

ctoinrnenees the rough western styles and

wickedness on the least provocation.

and who are as genteel as any at home. The
excursionists visited a dance-house (trav
elers you know are excusable) and were
furnished witkan admirable picture of wild
western life in rea ity. There ,they found
assembled a motley class of men attired in
store clothes and= sporting pistols and dirks
at• their sides. At the entrance was a bar
fitted out in good style and attended. by the
usually flashy looking young man of curly
locks, tin jewelry and feeble Moustache. ,

not be so numerous. • Oppositethe bar was'
a snow white table where a sharp-witted
man showed the crowd the mysteries of
three card monte at an.expense ranging
from five dollare to one hundred, Near by
was a faro table with all the necessary para
phernalia. The game going on while we
were there was for chips amounting to one
thousand dollars. , Several gentlemen with
us, who =seemed to know the ropes,
were astonished to find the game so fairly
carried on, but At is said to be dangerous in
I those ontirters to indulge in foul play
There is honor amongst thieves and a Che

In the centre of the room the dance was go
ingon, rough looking men. and women en
joying the sport with a gtustomade manifest
ibythe heavy manner in which they brought
-down their • brogans on 'the • sanded floor.
The music was - faroished by a band of
three 'musicians and, was not 'bad. - On one
side of the roma was a' chance-table where
the gullable threw dice at fifty cents a throw
. for a prize out of a show case containing a
large collection of trifling articles and afew
of more valuable character. Of course none
of the latter c a n be drawn unless by those
In the ring, or confederates of the operator:
The dance-house is an institution, we be
lieve peculiar to metropolitan cities, (the
wickedest man of New York keeps one,)
and wehave only referred to Ira presence in
the western cities to show how rapidly
civilization has extended westward. 'But
Cheyenne must not be judged by its pronii
nent plaoes of wickedness more than should
Pittsburgh by the sketch of Parton in which
he held up a second class place of amuse
)rent' to give strangers an idea of our peo—
ple, and how they are entertained. Heaven
knows we have been imposed on by aglow i
style of entertainment under ,the name of
first class, but did not support. such places
outof choicesomuch as the necessity forced
by the cupidity, of managers. Cheyenne
has many, redeeming features, and it is not
the least enticing place wherein to dwell in
the West. It supports eight or ten respect
able hotels and has some business establish
ments like that of S. F. Nuckoll's, for in
stance, which carry stocks amounting to
fifty thousand dollars in value. A few years
helm the city will be recognized as one of
the very first on the line of the road.
' It is the easiest thing in the world to ac
count for the rough state of society in the
far West. The tide of emigration has
swept only fortune-seeking men to the new
localities, and women have as yet been
; scarcely introduced. Their absence changes
r the manner of men. They become rough
in dress, go unwashed and unshaved, car
ing nothing for appearances, and fall into
the most wicked ways of giving expression
to ideas. If they had women in their midst
to care for them, and in turn be cared for,
they would soon fall into the old forgotten
paths of nicety 'and refinement. Drive
every woman out-of Pittsburgh, and keep
the meacolonized together for a year or
more without hearing the ; sweet voice of a
fair and loved one, and we venture to say ,
our polished citizens would rapidly degen
erate into as rough and uncouth beings as
the"very -worst found West. Wekope the
experiment won't be;tried. ' •
Twenty miles beyond Cheyenne the first
formidable range of the Rocky Mountains
are struck, and their ascent to the summit
has been accomplished in the most success
ful manner. Sherman, thirty-three miles
west of Cheyenne, is thesnmmit, the highest
point on the road, being 8,262 feet above
the level of the seitand 7,292 above Omaha.
From Cheyenne to this point the road rises
with a grade of 70 feet to the mile. The
grandest piece of engineeringis that which
cute through Granite Canon, a pass between
two monstrous red granite mountains and
over a deep ' chaste, of rugged rocks.
The bridge at this pointis verry substantial
but will be replaced, as will all others on
the road, by an iron structure before many
days. ':The scenery from Sherman is very
grand, the snow-capped mountains piercing
the clouds being observable in the distance

572 miles west of Omaha,ls struck

most as large as Cheyenne, having a•popu
