Montreal and Quebec-:-Montmorencl and
the Natural steps--Cheat Elver Valley
—Pittsburgh—Noveltles in Art, die.
teorreapongence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
The dim light - of a misty moon first
revealed the clustered houses of Centre,
and a lighted the broad bosom of the g eat
StAawrence. - The extent and massive
appearance of: the public buildings of
Montreal strike a stranger with surprise.
They will corn, pare well with those of New
- York, ;besides being more solid and sub
stantial. A group, principally of Amer
- icans, is always ready to make the pass
age of the Rapids of Lachine, after which
the little steamer passes under the famous
Victoria bridge,, giving a fine view of
Montreal and the towers of Notre Dame.
Near the bridge, a stone raised by the
• workmen marks the spot where six thou
sand five hundred unfortunate emigrants,
who died of fever, are buried. A walk
through a part oft the stupendous bridge
will well repay', itself. The 'St. Law
rence, here spanned by it, is nearly two
English miles wide, each of the twenty
four - piers being capable of resisting
• eighty thousand tons pressure. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand tons of stone and
seven thousand five hundred tons of iron
were usedin its construction. Evenafter
you haVe walked some distance within,
the light which reveals the entrance on
the opposite shore is faint indeed.
Mount Royal Cemetery on the "moun
tain•drivi3,7" is much visited by strangers,
• ' while from the. Molson vaults, a good
view may- be had of the Ottowa river.-
.. The number and splendor of the churches
are worthy of note; one grows weary
enumerating these and the prominent pub
lic buildings. Some idea of their number,
at least,Will be gained from the fact that'
a series of Montreal views, taken by an
enterprising New Yorker, named parks,
already numbers ninety; and none of
these are insignificult. But the chief
object of interest in Canada is Quebec,
which is one of the - most curious sped
, mean of an ancient fortified place, to be
met with, and no stranger should leave its
gates without having seen the Falls , of
Montmorenci and the Natural Steps. The
_former is like a great snowy veil suspended
in air; the latter two miles above the Fella,
are a series of limestone rock, each , about
a foot in thickness, forming the river
bank, and for about half a mile, receding
- one above the other to the height of
twenty feet. To stand on the brink of '
these, and look down at the narrow pent
waters below, evermore dashing them
selves against opposing, walls, in which
the action of the .
_water has worn
'regular basins, or small caves,' is
• well worthy our walk through the
-fields.lt reminds one not "a little
of-Trenton, audits chamber of the Rocky
heart. Niagara seems only appropriately
set forth by the wordsublime, - but Mont
' morenci is exceedingly beautiful. Re
turning, there is much of quaint interest
in the little town of Beauport, with its
characteristic groups of French peasants,
origiqal houses and costume. The cita
del. the almost impregnable natural posi
tion and fortifications are the wonders of
• Quebec, and when we have seen those we
return to "the States," crossing the beau
tiful Champlain, andtaking passage on the
fine steamer "Drew" on the Hudson, en.
. route for the mountains of West Virginia.
Beyond Ellicotts City, the scene of the
disastrbus flood, we catch at Mount Airy
the first glimpse of the Blue Ridge, nest
ling among the hills of •which,
..Tht elneyeredeplrea or Frederick stand.
Green walled bg the hILls of ALFllana,4`
.• •We doubt if any other railroad :route
can equal the Baltimore and Ohio, and
the Altoona one, in grandeur and variety.
While the massive viaducts and tunnels
of the one are. full of interest, Jefferson
pronounced it well worth crossing the
ocean to see Harper's Ferry, friSm the
• lofty summits of Which the Potomac and
Shenandoah are seen to unite, and moun
.
tain peaks appear as plains. We may ex-'
plore the Valley of the Shenandoah, with
its revolutionary and historic associations,
or journey on toAltamont, twenty-seven
hundred feet above Baltimore, and the
crowded summer 'resorts of Oakland,
Cranberry Summit, Rowlesburg, and Val
, ley Falls. Of late, Cheat River Valley
has become a general rendezvous for ar.
' I fists in search, of summer, studies; whilst
romantic interest will draw tourists from
a distance to K.anawha,. and the fame
•of medicinal virtues invalids to Berkeley
Springs, For the present, we pass by
these attractions and reach Pittsburgh,
associated with pleasant memories some
two years ago. ,
'
There is much to see in its manufacto
ries 'mills, public buildings and studios.
In the latter the "smoky city" has a
• nod deal of pre-eminence, and an, high
degree of excellence. One of the origin
alities of art is the gallery of Mr. Gleigger,
a distinguished foreign , portrait painter,
who departs, however, from the usual
custom of 'long "sittings." - A
stranger
passing through, who has only an honr
to spare, has a faithful negative taken,
suitable for the purpose, a memorandum
of characteristic peculiarities, expression
and features is made, and the study or sub.
11
. I:pet goes on his way. Not so, nowever,
...his image on the mind of the artist. It is
there; not the changing expression which
flits over the face in varied sittings, but
the one portrayal, which is often far more
natural and self-possessed. A Student of
human nature will be' interested in the
faces around him, the statesman, the
....scholar, the soldier, the divine, the poli
tician, tho actress, and - the ignorance of
- childhood, is here represented.
-. .Whose landscapes
have been so deaervedry admired, has giv
'en up his profession, though we predict
thi,ultimate return.- f He. is too true - .an
artist to become wholly absorbed in ether
Mink& Mr. McClurg is at work on a
new style of portraits` which we have not
seen elsewhere, executed by means, of
the graphite pencil, somewhat after the
-:style of,crayon, but With the appearance
•or an exceedingly fine steel engraving.
/These are more:' readily taken and much
less. eXpensi*edian'in oli.;That ofEmaz;
ttel -Leutze, executed from a card photo:;
`• ;graph; is exceedingly fine, and the face of
, Ahe painter is., full of -sympathy: as he
speaks of his Mother artist and intimate
4/end. _ Mrs. B.
_lx re officially announced that] a con
'tract was signed on Friday last,, between
the officers of the Erie Railway and of
he officers of the United• States Express_,
Company, by which the United' States
„Express Company would do the express
business on the Erie road and branches,
exclustvely, and the Great Western Els-
Patch would control all the through
freight both east and west.
_Grant and Wdshburne. •
Oaptsirr -(siow----Preiddanwiltridrfair
resided at Galena several yearabefore Mr.
Washbun2e knew him: Washburne
then the leading man of hls Congression
al District, carrying it, as the phrase goes,
'tin his breeches pocket," owned and re.
sided in one of the most elegant 'residen
ces in the city, while Grant was clerk in
,his fathees leather store, and occupied a
little twb story cottage on the top of a
bluff, requiring him• to climb a stairs
some 200 feet every time he went :home.
At the first war meetinz held in Galena,
to muster volunteers, Washburne offered
resolutions and engineered :the meeting,
and Rawlins made a speech. Capt.' Grant
was present, but • seems to have been too
inconspicuous to be called on to-take part.
At the second meeting, however, Capt.
Grant was nominated for Chairman. The
first company raised, however, selected
one Chetlain - captain,and Jesse Grant's
partner, Collins, a Pace Demodrat, said
,to Washburne, "A pretty set of fellows
.you soldiers are to elect, Chetlain for cap
tain!" -
"Why not?"
"They Were foolish to take him 'when
they could get such a man as Grant."
"What's Grant's history?"
"Why, he is old man Grant's son, was
educated at West Point, served in the
army eleven years, and came out: with
the very best reputation."
Washburne immediately called upon
Grant, and invited him to go to Spring
field. There Pope was the hero of the
hour, and all was confusion. Washburne
urged Grant's claims, and the latter had
Already applied to the Governor of Ohio,
his native State, and to the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Army at Washington, who
had not even the grace to answer his let
ter.
Washburne with difficulty restrained
him from returning in disgnst to Galena:
At length Grant was employed to assist
in Gov. Yates' office, and in mustering in
regiments.
It is most improbable that either Wash--
burne or Grant had any prescience of
Grant's 'future success, as Grant himself
is reported to have answered a friend who
asked him why he did not apply for a
Colonelcy: "To tell you the truth, , I would
rather like a regiment, yet there are few
men really competent to Command • a
thousand soldiers, and I doubt whether I
am one of them."
- ,
Yates having appointed Grant Colonel
of a regiment, he was indebted for his
next promotion to Washburne. Presi
dent Lincoln sent a printed notice to each
of the - Illinois Senators and Representa
tives, asking them to nominate four Brig
adiers. Washburne pressed the claims of
Grant on the ground that his section of
the State had raised a good many men,
and were entitled to a Brigadier. Grant,
Hurlburt, Prentiss and McClernand were
appointed. When Grant was informed of
his promotiqn he said: "It never came
from any request of mine. It must be
some of Virailiburne's work."
On October, 1801, while Grant was in
command at Cairo, Washburne paid him
.6 visit, and then for the first time became
impressed with the conviction that Grant
was to be "the coming man" of the war:•
In the language of his friends from that
time he had "Grant on the brain."
When Pope's friends urged him for a
Major Generalship, Washburne secured
a promise from Lincoln that none of the
Brigaclieis should be , farther promoted
till they had distinguished themselves in
the field. A ring of contractors whom
Grant had offeaded circulated in the
newspapers a report , of his intemperance.
Washburne wrote to Rawlins to know if
it had tiny, grain of truth. Rawlins re
plied that much as he loved his chief, he
loved his country more; and if from any
cause he should see him unfit for his posi
tion, he would inform Washburne. -Hav
ing written the letter, he showed it to
Grant, who replied:
means .
"Right, exactly right; send it by all
It was not until the battle of Fort
Donelson that Grant fairly achieved a
pbsition which rendered the kin,d offices
of Washbrirne no longer absoluteljneces
sary to his promotion. Four days after
that victory he was appointed and con
firmed Major General of Volunteers.

The Natural Wealth. of Pennsylvania.
From 'the - .bles y
giving the statistics of therecentl yieldcompiled of coal, ,
iron and oil in this State during the year
1868. the following figures are taken:
The products of the three anthracite coal
fields was 13,674,257 tons—a very con
siderable increase-over _ the year 1867.
The bituminous coal product for 1868
was, at the very lowest estimate, 18,000,
000 tons. The product of the oil regions
during the veer was about 140,000,000
gallons, value d at $37,000,000 in cur e
rency. Some 100,000,000 gallbns of the
foregoing quantity, valued at $27,000,000
in currency, were exported from the
country, the remainder, of course, ,being
consumed at home. The product of iron
for 1808 was as follows: Pig iron of all
kinds, 872,825 tuns; from forges and
bloomeries, 32,164 tons; rails, 253,380
tons; manufactured iron,
, embracing
sheet, plate, hoop, rails, &c., 265,821
tons valued, according,.to the current
rates, at $68,000,000. The aggregate
value of the production of these three
articles of coal, petroleum and iron, dur
ing 1858. Is $195,000,000. As tele sum
almost trebles the value
_of the annual
yield of the precious metals in the United
States, 'the vast mineral and natural
wealth of the Keystone State looms up
by the comparison in proportions which
can justly make any Pennsylvanian
proud. ,

promsses, iron was converted into steel,
since called Bessemer steel.- That proce
dure requires, however, the best of iron,
and , is, inapplicable to ordinary non,
which contains much phosphor or out.'
phur and• the importance of the new In

almost every kind of iron. The proce

practicaLand economical system of making ,pure
prime Butter by the aid of the • :
EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT,
A. brief : allusion to the originot this tint Ortant
discover rimy not prove uninteresting. Among
the authenticated records of the renowned Cap
tain Cook's voyage around, the world, is found
the statement, that while sojourning fora short
time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he
observed the natives using, in the preparation of
their food, a peculiar oil. which,",upon 'examina
tion, he found to possess the appearanc4, taste'
and - divorotßuttert upon further inquiry, how
ever, he ascertained :that it , was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner, from 'a rich and' luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneoualy and abundantly in
that warm tropical country. A. few y ears ago,
an eminent French chemist, while on a protes
atonal visit to the tropics, made numerous exper
iments witn this remarkable production of na- -
ture, and succeeded in extracting a concentrated
essence efthe plant. The formula for its preps.
ration, and the Sole Bight for its sale in this
country are the exclative property of this Com
pany, by whom it was purchased ; from the origl
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable.
yet simple and perfectly harmless Preparation—
lts.—That by its use a net gain of from 50 to 200
per cent. is made in the manufacture of Butter.
Ad.—That Butter, which from age or whatever ~
cause, may be strong, rancid, streaked or
coarie-grained, and comparatively usel for. -
general use, by the aid of, this:Extract, is re:.
stored its original freslinesa and
„sweetness,
fine-grain, and, even color,
3d.—By the, use of this Extract, one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter is actusdly made from
one pint of milk.
4th.—That &pure and excellent table Butter can
be magic . , at a cost of front.ls to AO c nts per
Deland. The chief expense whereln.being But. .

Mau—That, ,Butter manitaetured by the aid
