Major Stephens has recently discovered an
open gap through the Rocky Mountains.
These five. valleys, embracing the sources of
the two greatest rivers on the continent, which
will bear their product to the two greatest
oceans in the world, surrounded by other
smaller but no less rich ones, will be the fu
ture Switzerland of America.
The climate of Nebraska has not been ac-
curately discovered. Enough is known, how
ever, for practical purposes. Vegetation In
Iowa, is some weeks later than in Missouri
IniEastern Nebraska it is some weeks later
than in Iowa, and IN the vicinity of the noun
tains some weeks later still. From the city
of ST. Louis, travelling either northward or
westward, the climate becomes colder about
in the same degree-the difference of eleva-
ton, travelling west, being about equivalent
to its effects to the difference of latitude trav
cling north Snow falls at the foot Of the
mountains about the lst of September, and
at Council Bluffs about the 1st of November.
Coal has been found in the northwestern
counties of Missouri, and it is probable may
be found in the southeast portion of Nebras-
ka The limestone formation of Missouri and
Iowa. extends over the first district of Ne
braska, described in this letter. Beyond that
district the formation is sandstone, and rocks
of the deluvian period-the former south and
west of the Missouri chiefly, and the latter
north of it.
The first district is the only good agricul-
tural region at present. 1t is rich loam,
finely timbered and watered. The second is
strictly pastoral The third has soil, but is
destitute of timber, and very sparsely sup
piled with springs. The fourth also has soil,
but has the same drawback The fifth, as
already stated, is the finest region on the globe
in the same latitude.
A few of the farming boys of Iowa and
Missouri have heretofore g stuck their stakes"
in the first district, opposite kanesyille, and
above the mouth of Platte river. | learn
that emigrants are now pouring IN by the
thousand, and scarce 4 year can elapse before
they viii have appropriated all the good land
along the Missouri river Here the progress
of the territory will be checked for many
years to come, and when it again commences
the elnigrants will leap over the second dis
trict, but leave occasional squatters along the

will not pause here long. THERE'S not enough

be two distinct communities In Nebraska, the
one occupying the country directly west of
Iowa, and the other the Valley of the Yellow
Stone This is the sum of my best informa-
ton relative TO this new territory. L have

The Romance of Royalty.

The young Empress of Austria and her hus-
band are first cousins, the Archduchess Sophie
and the Duchess Louise of Bavaria being sis
tiers. Never, perhaps have five sisters had such
brilliant fortunes as the family to which these
princesses belong. Ii is more Ike fairy tale
than real history.
Daughters of Maximiran Joseph. King of
Bavaria. by his second wife, Caroline OF Baden
every one of the five has become either queen
or the mother of kings or queen. And, TO
crown the marvel two pair Of them are twins.
OF the elder pairs of twin, one Is Queen OF
Prussia, the other, mother Of the future King
of Saxonia. OF the second pair of twins, one
is Queen of Saxonia and the other is the Arch
duchess Sophie. mother of the present Empe-
ror of Austria The second daughter of the
fifth princess of the fortunate house is now EN-
press of Austria, while her eldest daughter is
said to be betrothed to the hereditary Grand
Duke of Toscana.
The rise of the Coburgs themselves pales be-
fare the brilliant alliances achieved by the five
daughters, by a second marriage, of third
rate German potentate who had a large family
bv his first wife. OF the daughters by the
first wife, one was married to Eugene Beau
harnais. and another was the fourth wife OF
Fracis l. of Austria. So that every one of the
seven daughters has either had her own brow
encircled with diadem, or may look forward
so seeing it grace some one of her immediate
descendants. One of their brothers son Is
King of Bavaria, and another isKng of fGrecce.
When we consider that it is not much above
seventy years since the Elector Paladine sue
ceeded TO the throne of Bavaria-not seventy
since he was confirmed on 1.-THE family must
be confessed to have pr ospered. The Guelphs
the Holstein- Gottoops. Lorraine Eabsburgs
the Coburgs, were scarcely more the fayoritoS
of fortune.
In our account OF the fairy fortunes Of the
Seven Bavarian Princesses," we forgot to in
! clude the children of one of them, the Nic'
/ Queen of Italy. OF her FIVE children, one il
/ the present Queen of Sweden, another wa
! King (consort) of Portugal, being the frs
husband of the late Queen Dona Maria III.

Fort m adiSon. Iowa.

4 gentleman formerly a resident of this
city, who has made his home in the West,
&4ftes US the following description of Fort
Madison, which we publish as matter of
interest to cmigrants:
This city is regarded, by many travellers,
as the most beautiful and healthy location on
the Mississippi river. The bank on which it
is located. is about twenty feet above high
water mark and Immediately in its rear, and
not more than half mile from the river
arises a bluff of nearly two hundred feet in
height, the side and top of which furnish the
most romantic and lovely spots for private
buildings and residence The river in front
is over mile wide, and the opposite shore is
also high and romantic in its scenery.
As early as the year 1907, fort was built
here, under the authority of the u. States,
by Lieut. Pike and the name given TO it
which the city now bears; but during the
war of 1912, it was closely besieged by the
Indians, under the war chief, Black Hawk,
and its garrison, through failure of provisions,
was compelled to execute it, and drop down
the river to St. Louis.
law, have city survey made of Fort Mad
ison, and directing the lots to be sold at pub
lie auction, to the highest bidder. All the
lots were speedily disposed of; but most un-
fortunately for the growth of the place, the
larger amount fell into the hands of non-resi-
dent spectators, who, for many years, would
neither improve them nor sell them for any
reasonable price; and multitudes who came
here to settle, were consequently driven TO
other points of less natural advantages, but
where land was cheaper.
But. for the last four or five years the prop
erty of large holders, through death in some
cases, and insolvency in others, has been
gradually passing into the hands of residents,
until now two-thirds of the whole city is own
ed by resident holders, and the advantage of
the change is seen in the many improvements
which are springing up on all sides.
The population of Fort Madison Is suppos-
ed to be about three thousand. 1t is the
county seat of Lee county the most populous
county in Iowa The State Penitentiary is
located here. The Court House of the coun-
ty is a large and commodious brick building.
There are FIVE church buildings, all of brick
Methodist Catholic, Christian or Campbellite,
PRESBYTERIAN, and German Reformed There
are two steam Touring mills, three steam
saw mills, one planning mill, and steam es-
tablishment for the manufacture of agrlcultu-
raj implements.
There is greatly needed foundry here !;
and in view of the growing character OF the
city. and the extensive country which sur
rounds it, it is believed that such an estab-
lishment would pay well.
The country around Fort Madison is as rich
in soil as can be found anywhere in the West,
and it has the advantage over most Western
localities of a plentiful supply of wood and

New Farms lately Discovered.

Lawyer, says a correspondent of the Coun-
try Gentleman, have known for long time
that landholder owned down far below the
surface But farmers never suspected that
their deeds gave them a right TO more than
six inches of the surface. No person scarcely
has thought Of looking deeper, except the
diggers for gold and water. The subsoll
plough is revealing TO agriculturists treasures
before unknown. Discoveries IN the earth
are keeping pace with those in the sky, and
new earth.is open to the cultivator, as q new
heaven is open 10 the astronomer. In the solL

a few farmers have hit upon; L mean IN that

Roots of the grains and grasses cannot pene-
trate it. There it Is, and has been accumu:
lating for thousands of years, insoluble' ex-
cept when roots apply themselves to 1t. Not
one farmer in twenty ever ploughs deeper than
six inches. The roots cannot get at the mine
below-it is too hard. As beneficial as the
subsoi plough has proved to be where used
not one farmer in five hundred uses one;

may ask them why they do not use one, and

used them, and they generally had good crops
therefore, we think it better to follow their
example, notwithstanding We are living IN an
age Of great improvements.

Ger the roof of the home that dear is to me,
'Twere better TO live than in cities, ween,
