| SCENERY OF THE MIssissIPPI.-T following
beautiful description of the scenery OF the Up
per Mississippi, although highly wrought, Is not
overdrawn. 1t is found in a letter to the Prov.
idence Journal, written from Galena. Every
one who has passed over the route described
will recognize the sketch as true to nature:
From this city to St. Paul. q distance Of
some four hundred miles. there is a continuous
succession of the most singularly and beauti-
fully formed bluffs that exist probably in the
world. They are arrayed, not in awful majesty
and terror of height, or rugged and chaotic
form, but are full of grace, mildness and sooth-
ing beauty. They are OblOng cOnical Circular,
semi circular, angular sloping, perpendicular,
| elevated, depressed, simple and involved, now
deeply shaded by forest. now sparsely dotted
with trees, and now. as often, covered from base
TO summit with velvet turf, superlatively soft
and rich. They appear to the wondering pas
ser-by as if formed and cared for by perpetual
artificial supervision and taste-Or rather, as
in their solitude and impressive glory they
stand, as il some angel spirit had watched over
them. coming by night and with wings Of love
sweeping them and arraying them in beauty, to
| hail the sunlight of each returning day..

financial affairs in an unsOund manner.
THE heavy rates that it has paid for iD'lOrse-

causes which have led to the failure there may
be differences of opinion. There are many who
are not satisfied with the current statements,
