MY DEAR OLD Boxâ€"Here after all my weary wanderingsâ€"I’m at rest; I find that I need rest after 10 days conâ€" tinuous “ working on the Railroad.” When I shook hands with you at Toronâ€" to, I expected to be in Calafornia in 7 days, but the actual time was 12 days, 6 hoursâ€"difference between expectation and stern reality, 5 days, 6 hours. I arâ€" rived in Chicago on Saturday morning at 6 o’clock, after a journey, part of which I never will forgetâ€"especially the Grand Trunk part of it. You know that I did not insure my life at Toronto, and riding from Sarnia to the Junction made me regret it very much. Talk about being at sea with a stiff Norâ€"VVester l its nothing, to riding on the Grand Trunk. It Was impossible to keep my seat; first your head knocked against the wall, then forwardâ€"butt against the back of the passenger in front of you, then a retro- grade movement which would nearly dis- locate your neck, then a swaying, litering motion, counterbalanced by a sudden jerk in the airâ€"finally you find yourself sit- ting on the floor looking; like “ The last Rose of Summer.” It was dark so that I could not see the track, but it is my opinion the G. T. is nothing more or less than a first-class corduroy road. It was like riding a board fence during; an earthâ€" quake. However I got to Chicago all right, and put up at the Sherman House, where I took my first lesson in Hotel charges on a large scale. I was there from Saturday morning to Monday morn- ing‘, and upon leaving was presented with a little bill of “$13.” A good house to board at if you carry your pocket book in a freight train. Here in “ Frisco,” I live in just as big house, with a little better table, for $3 per weekâ€"cheaper by far than you can do in Toronto. The peculiarity of this establishment is this, that there is not a “solitary woman” about the housewâ€"all the chambermaids “ are mom" V But to continue the narra- tive of my travels. I left Chicago on Mon- day morning, in the emigrant tram, and had some five travelling companionsâ€"- Dutch, Scotch, Italian, Irish, 850. It was like travelling in a small,“ Tower of Babel ;” for many of the passengers looked as if they had been working on‘ that venerable building for, at least, two 1 centuries Without washing, or changingl their clothes. The Italian sitting next‘ to me, although he could not speak a word of English, was, nevertheless, a reâ€" markably lively fellowâ€"in fact, so lively thatl left his neigborhood in a hurry. suddenly recollecting that I carried a 'igtity of' “ Mollifier,” I ventured to i ' .hize‘with the Coudmztmheprowd amiable, and offered me a berth in his caboose, which afliresaid berth I immediâ€" ately accpted. He not only oifercd me :1. bed, but took me upon the roof of the car, at the same time giving me an arm- chair for a seat. This a wonderful in- stance of the power and strength of Ca- nadian bugjuice. As we had the most glorious Weather all the way through I was enabled to keep my seat with enm- fort. and as the train did not go faster than Billy Wilson’s trotting horse, I was able to get such a View of the country as may never occur again. I made the most of it, for I kept my seat from dusk in the morning until dark in the evening7 never getting down unless compelled by hunger. After leaving Chicago there are a few farm housb's here and there until we get into the Platte River Valley. and here the magnificent scenery connnences; the road runs for hund eds of miles along what is supposed to be the Platte River. By what stretch of imagination it is dignified by the name of River7 I cannot conceive. It is about the size of that stream called Newton Brook. Just now it contains about as much water, and of a very yellow hue. The conductor in formed me that from June until Septem- ber it was a mighty river. I think from the evidence of piles of brush, gravel beds, 8:0. that he is about right. The val- ‘ley is about two miles across; on each 1side itis bounded by smooth hills, dos titute of trees or shrubs; not a thing, not a rock to relieve the sight, not even anything" in the shape of animal life. No, I mistakeâ€"I saw one venerable old crew; but he was evidently bewildered and did not know where he was. In fact, this part of the country puts me in mind of a a little story. One day a tall lean Yank came into an hotel in Oenver and took a seat at the table, the waiter asked him what he would have “ ‘What hev yeou got '3” he inquired. “ Roast beef, mutton, pork and boiled Curlew.” “ Boiled curâ€" lew ; what’s that '3” “ Why, boiled cur- lew is a bird, Sirâ€"game. “ A bird pray ! did it have wings ?” “ Yes”. “ Could it fly.” “ Yes.” “Then I don’t want want any curlew in mine; for anything that had wings, and could fly, and didn’t git out of this durned country isn’t fit for a. Christian’s stomac. No I don’t Want any Curlew in mine.” The Yank was about right; for I prayed for the wings of a dove~or even a Turkey buzâ€" zardâ€"to be hitched upon the engine, but patience and resignation were the order of the dayâ€"so I retired to my bed in the caboose, to be awakened by the conducâ€" tor informing: me that we were approachâ€" ing the Mississippi. I rushed up to my seat on the ears to get :1 moonlight View of the “ Father of Waters.” It is well named the Father of ‘Vuters, for here at Rock Island it is 2800 miles from its mouth, yet it is nearly two miles wide. We cross it on a bridge, and as we go slowly ever, you can look down upon a rush of Water like a mill-raeeâ€"for the current is very rapid. The town on the other side is called Rock Islandâ€"from a huge rock in the centre of the river. It LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA. is quite a God-send to see the lights twink- i ling in houses, after the barren scene wo 1 had been gazing at during the day. Here l] we had half' an hour to get supper, then l, on we go. I go to bed ; at four o’clock in l the morning I again take my station on E the chair; we view Kaladeiscope like 1 changes; but the trouble is it contains‘ but one View. Far as the eye can reach, ‘ 5 N. S. E. IV., is an unbroken rollingr prarie, here and there blackened by lire from the engines The same monotonuous View presents itself all day; nothing but brown and back, with streaks of fire; at nigctwe have a grand spectacle~a real live prarie on fire. It is a pretty sight to see a roaring fire, ten or twelve miles long, throwing ofl' vast clouds of smoke, which go rollingr and curling up to the skies. \Ve again retire to our couch thinking; the magnificent scenery 01" which we formerly read was a huge swindle. The next morniubr the same scene; but towards nine o’clock, a hill was visible. Yesâ€"no mistake. I rub my eyes thinkâ€" ing that I may he still asleep, but no, a hill, palpable hill begins to loom up in the distance; by degrees it grows larger, at last houses can be distinctly seen, at last we approach Omaha, the termination of the ltock Island St Pacific Railway. As we stay here from ten o’clock in the morningr until haltipast six in the evening, I sally forth to see the town. Like all towns in the far west it is built upon a moutain. An old inhabitant told me that it contained twenty thousand inhabitants â€"â€"wherc they are, I cannot see. The place looks as it' it might contain five thousand inhabitants ; the houses are like all new places, built of wood, the mass of ‘ oi" them simply sheds, as far as the streets â€"â€" whew l The top of Jarvis street, in Toronto, is Nicholson pave» ment, compared to the sea of yellow sand that the mules wade through in Omaha. [forgot to tell you that the Railroad 00., have, as yet been unable to find bot.- tom in the Missouri river, so that we had to cross on ferry boats. \Ve get ofi' the cars, jump on an omnibus, and drive right on board, cross, then have half a mile to go before reaching the town. The Missouri river, at the ferry, is about as large as the Don river, by the bridge, in Torontoâ€"«now at low water; but the hanks are about three quarters of a mile, A passenger on the cars who had crossed it in the ‘ainy season told me that the whole valley was a roaring river, five miles wide. Just, now, as I told you, it is about the size of the Don,and about the color, and consisting of pea soup. It the Railroad Company succeed 1n getting a bridge across, it will ruin Omaha, as the people live only by plunder from unfor- tunatektravellersâ€"you may be sure they do alt want a bridge across the hIissouri. At half-past six we shook the dust of Omaha from elf our feet, and went on our way. In the morning, the same eternal monotonous view presented itself; but now we are in a,couutry inhabited by the buffalo, antelope, 850., you may be sure I kepl my eyes open for the cattle, The first look at animal life we had was a large herd of antelope, who did not apâ€" pear to mind the train any more than a civilized horse. They are pretty animals, streaked, spotted and striped, and about the size of an ordinary sheep; we passed i hundreds of" them on our way, until they ceased to be interesting. Now we are passing; a village of' praric dogs. (You know that ugly specimen of a (log that Velie, of Richmond Hill, ownsâ€"«he told me that that “ animile 7’ was a prarie dog, he is much like a prarie dog; as a bull calf.) They are for all the world like a red squirrel, with the exception of the tail, which is like a rat’s. The gene- ral size is a guinea pig; some I observed a little larger. It was comical sight to, see the little brutes come skippina' out ot'i their holes by hundreds, sitting straight up on their haunches, with their heads, straight up in the air, and barking like ‘ a puppy two weeks old. Just ahead ol'l, us is an encampment of U. S. soldiers; and as it is also a watering station, we stop to water up, an immediate rush, on massc, vas made for dog town. Them soldiers told us to look out for ‘ Rattles,Y l, evey dog; has a rattlesnake for a ledger. As we went charging through the town the little brutes plunged headt'oreumst‘ into their holes, and in their place a flat‘ head and forde tongue was protrudod,i which plainly said “ thus far and no fur ther ;” but I was bound to capture a dog, , . so I went back to the tent and got a t pole, with which instrument I returned t to the charge. In the meantime nearly t every one on the ground was busy banging away with his revolver at their snake- - ships. I succeeded by a strategic move- ment in taking an old “ rat 7’ on the back of the head and squaring up with him; I then introduced the stick into Mr. Dog’s house, for the purpose of stirring him up â€"~but alas !â€"â€"time and tide waits for no man, the whistle shrioked and we had to ruitfor it, thus losing one chance of capturing a prarci dog. We again resume our journey, the same scene of‘ rolling land on all sides as far the eye â€" can reach, unbroken, without life or in- t terest, with an occasional herd of' ante- r lope, deer or town of dogs. About 4- e o’clock we come upon another camp ct =â€" soldiers, and, as we stop for 15 minutes, â€"«»~: vsâ€"‘me-ruâ€"wâ€"nnw- 7/: cat-'- â€"- .1», «Aw-«vi rv-rv-L-v-mmâ€"râ€"-â€". n L.) We got out and inspect. the crimp; the! men were busy at skimming and cultng up 28 head of bufl’nlo which they had killed; this was our first sight of' bull falo; the Commandant very kindly of'g fercd us all the meat that we could eat, so that in three minutes there was an immense fi‘izzling and flying of bufiraloI meat: I ate so much that I did not Want any grub for a dziy after.
