Igol Slept like a log that night, and in the morning found ourselves on the vast prairie. As far as the eye could reach nothing but grass, here and there inter» cepted by a slight hill, but no trees whatever. During the day we passed numberloss bands of Cattle and horses feeding. In some of the herds, there must have been thousands of heads. These herds are tended by cowboys. well mounted on quick horses, and are very rough looking men. A few years ago, they were the terror of this part of the countrv,and only the fear of the law keeps them in check now. In the fore- noon We crossed the North Platte which is spanned by the longest bridge I ever saw. It is only about 1.5 ft. wide, but is used both as a railway and a carriage bridge. After crossing the river, we en- tered the town ef North Platte, where our train stopped, and I went for a. walk, and when I returned I saw part of my train going one way and part another. So I made up my mind that I had “ got left.” But fortunately they came back, and I was all right. During the day we passed many prairie Schooners, some- thing like (lipsy waggons. Westward, still westward we passed through the mo- notonous prairies. This route wouldjust suit Oscar Wilde= for growing beside the track for hundreds of miles is his pecu- liar flowerâ€"the sunflower. Passing tlil‘nugli Ogallala. one of the most im- portant western towns to cattle ranchers, we soon entered Colorado at Denver Junction. Emerging from Colorado we re-enter Nebraska, which State, as far as I could see. is entirely worthless, except for grazing purposes, and I can't under- stand how such numbers of cattle subsmt on what appears to be nothing but weeds. Here and there I noticed prairie dogs and gophers, and jack rabbits were very- numerous. Once in a. while we passed a miserable little hut built of mud, stones, or sometimes rude logs. These were the only marks of civilization (2) for hundreds of miles. anards evening we entered the town of Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, where we obtained a glimpse of the Rocky Mountains, with their snow-clad peaks towering to the clouds. At Che3enne a troupe of minstrela got off anolher train and proceeded into the town each one playingo musical instrument and they made some excellent music. They Were dressed in the Zonave coetume and made quite a show. On leaving Cheyenne we encountered some very heavy grades and by 10 o’clock at. night found ourselves about 8000 feet above sea level. We then began to descend, and really the rate at which the train ran was terrible; however, everything came around all right, and next day we beheld some of the wildest scenery in the Rockies. I spent most of the afternoon on the platâ€" form watching the terrible rocks close to the track hundreds of feet above us, and on the other side was a deep valley hund- reds of feet below us. The rocks were cut into all sorts of grotesque slmpes,some of them appeared to be chiselled out by architects. Although I hud often heard of the magnificent grandeur of the Rock- ies, I had no conception of them whatâ€" ever, till I beheld them. We passed rapidly the world-renowned “ Devil’s Slide,” “Devil‘s Gate,” 6th and after passing through some villages, which are there known as cities, we enter Utah and soon reach Ogden, one of the chief Mor- mon cities. "We made a stop at more than an hour there changing cars again, leaving the Union Pacific for the Central Pacific. There. was a big rush for the best ear, and we ware again fortunate in getting a gocd car and with a good crowd. When the man who allotted berths to the passengers came around we had lots of fun. Of course he wanted to put three or four in one section and we all fought against- this; some saying they had Sore eves, others that they had the measles, &c. There was a middle aged man who was travelling with his daughter, and the “letter of berths,” thinking them man and wife, was going to have them sleep together. To this the mam strongly ob- jected and finally gained his point. Soon after leaving Ogden we passed along by the shores of Salt Lake, stopping here and there at small villages and were in- variably boarded by men, women and children selling milk, tea, coffee, cakes, &c. On Sunday we stopped a while at Wells, one of the toughest towns I ever struck. Sunday is not observed in that part of the country at all. They buy, and sell, and work same as week days. Passed some of the most hideous looking Indians and their unaws I ever saw. On Monday found ourselves in Nevada, and saw nothing but ‘ a wrary waste ex- panding to the skies.’ 0n ’l'uesdav. how- Across the Continent.

Soon *d along by upping here nd were in- women and Mike, cakes, nit \n the track, and away down below on the other side rushed a. torrent of water at a terrible rate. Before reaching the sum- mit We passed through a. long tunnel. and I couldn’t tell what all was done there then, but judging from the racket there was something unusual. Some person yelled as we entered the darkened hold: “ Now is the time to change shirts,” and I don’t know how many availed them- selves of the opportunity. The railroad in places is protected from the snow by snowsheds built over the track, and these render the car almost pitch dark. We passed through one of these which was over forty miles long. During the day we reached anelavation of 1000 feet and could see snow hundreds of feet below us. In the evening we started down grade, and although the tram had been three hours late, it gained time so that it was on time before eleven o’clock. The scen- ery around Blue Canon, Cape Horn, (.60., cannot be described. Saw the first glimpse of salt water from the Pacific on Wednesday. and soon after Were convey- ed in a ferry to the city of San Francisco. I must confess I have been disappointed somewhat in ’Fiisco. I expected to find a city something like Chicago, but it can. not equal it at all. It is not nearly so well built as Toronto, although larger. It is full of rocks and very steep hills,a.nd nearly all the buildings are frame. \Ve had on the whole a. very pleasant trip indeed. There were on board some of the most comical men I ever met, and they helped to relieve the monotony of the praxries. There were intelligent Germans, Danes, Swedes, and one John Wo-Chee Chinaman. Byothe-way ’Frisco is chuck full of the pig tails and in some districts it is an uncommon sight to see a. white man. To-morrow we board the “Sydney " for Australia, where we expect to land in about five weeks, and till then, dear LIB- ERAL, adleu. C. R. Hall, Grayville, UL, says: ‘ I have sold at retail, 156 bottles of Dr. Tlmmas’ Eclectric Oil, guaraneeing every bottle. I must say I never sold a. med- icine in my life that. gave such universal satisfaction. In my own case, with a badly ulcered throat. after a. physician penciling it for several days to no effect. the Eclectric Oil cured it thoroughly in twemy-fonr hours, and in threatened croup in my children this winter, it nev- er failed to relieve almost immediately.’ Indians as a. rule are very cowardly to- Wal'ds the whites. one pale-face will usu- ally put to flight three or four redâ€"faces if he shows determinationhut one drunk- en Indian got into a row with one of the traders and Came out rather ahead. He had lost something he had bought and was bothering tHe trader about it till ‘ patience ceased to be a virtue ’ the trad- er thought, and so he attgmptedflto give Lo 3 send off in line style. “ Now get 05' here,” says be, starting to shove him along the boat, “ get right off the boat,” bun Lo Wouldn’t ‘ get.’ he started to strike out from the shoulder instead, and then the trader showed the white feather and ran back for something to strike with, the Indian following and grasping at cudgels, which would have made things serious if he could have used them, but he found nothing more dangerous than the scales; at the some time the trader seized an axe. and there they stood for a moment their weapons brandished aloft, :1. sort of tragic tableaux, not a. bad repre- sentation of justice, then the trader dropped the axe and ran to the cabin, while a couple of Indian women came screaming down the hill and some friend- ly brethren took hold of the drunken fellow and led him awayâ€"4nd there was a. great calm, broken only by the shrieks and laughter of the other traders. Short- ly after 1 went round to the opposite side of the bay for a. walk, and was taking it easy when l heard a great noise in the direction ot our bouts. There was a big crowd gathered about something, I could see, the squaws were standing on the hill loluking anxiously down, so I hurried bnok,not knowing whether there was a. Second Indian mutiny in progressporhaps my friends were besieged in their boats and 1 would have to cmuobruvely to their rescue like another Hovelock, but I had no opportunity of distinguishing myself and becoming a hero; it was only a gen- eral free fight mnong the natives, and our white folks were looking good-humoredly on. enjoying it immensely.

I was there for a. short time while our trader Watched the boat‘ then he went, for it. would not do for him to stay away, it is policyrpolicy you know that makes the world go round, often. I am morally certain it was policy swung the dusty maidens round that evening, for it was only the white traders that mingled in the fray, but all passed ofl' quietly, quiet~ ly as far as fights were concerned, but Indians cannot dance without shouting. or at least these could not. The women were quiet enough, but the men must end up their jigs with a. shout, a. sort of modified war-whoop, which some of them know yet. At the next place I left the party and took the steamer back to Man- itowaning as my time was limited. The ” DuEerins," of Orangevllle, crossed sticks with the “ Young Canadians," on the fair grounds, on Saturday last, and made a bold endeavor to wrest their trophies from them, but to no efiect, although they suc- ceeded in winning the 3rd game. It was not to be expected that such a deep interest would be taken in the game as was shown in the match with Brampton the week previous, however, when the players formed in line, quite a large number of spectators were on the grounds anxious to see the Whole match. About $50 was taken for ndmIssion. The Young Canadians were much lighter than their opponents. The Duflerins were donned in gray hats. shirts striped with yellow and black, black pants, and stockings of various colors, while the home team wore their blue {(15 hats, ornamented with gold cord and a gold colored band around the outside of each. white shirts. red belts blue pans and rcd stockings.

Play commenced at 10 minutes to 3, and it could be seen at once that the home team would be likely to have an easy time. The ball was tossed about for 17 minutes, when Powell made a nice drop on the Duflerins‘ flags, and Searle slipped it. through. Ether five minuneé ibe 2nd gauie was com menced and went as before, the Lime being one minute longer than in the first game. In the 3rd game the Hill boys seemed, as it were, to rest on their oars, and did con- siderable fancy playing, but this did not last long. as Greenis. who was playing cover- point home, captured. the ball and ran through the Young Cnuadiau‘s goal, the keeper not being there to “ hold the fort." The Yellow jackets now received a. loud cheer on their winning the game. The 4th game was well contested on both sides, the Dufiering holding their opponents in check for about 27 minutes. but made sev- eml random shots, owing, no doubt. to the strangeness of the field. At last shot after shot was fired in, until Searle, who was be. bind the flags, sent it through from behind, and was returned by Savage, thus gaining the 4th game and bringmg the match to a close. The best of feeling prevailed throughout the match, and the teams parted feeling perv fectly satisfied with their new acquaintances. From our own Correspondent. Harvesting in this neighborhood is now far advanced, and the familiar whistle of steam threshersâ€"of which we have quite a numberâ€"is again heard. Grain turns out wellI but on all sides is to be heard ‘what is the N. P. doing With the prices.’ Mr. Silas Hartman, who besides being a farmer is the owner of a. steam threshei‘, and havmg a. good mechanical head on his shtmlders has put it to use by cun- structing a canvas covering for the hind- er part, and straw~cnrners of his machine which is said to keep the barn entirely free from dust while threshing. If this is true, Mr. Hartman has proved himself a benefactor of humanity, and ought to patent the invention. On Sunday evening, 10th instant, the pulpit of the P. M. church was ucvupiml by Rev. E.
