An eastern tourist recsntly passed over
the Rock Island railroad, and records bis
"feelings" as follows in the Democratic
Press:
Il left Chicsgo under the conviction tina,
along the line Of this road | should find
but little diversity of scenery-,hat my
sight would be panied by the continual mo-
notony of prairies, wide and destitute OF
timber-that the streams were dark and
sluggish, aud that the country mus, present
appearances of newness, somewhat cores
pondiDg to the late period of its settlement.
But none of the enumerated anticipations
have been realized. find the country suf-
fcieEtly uneven to constantly crafty and
charm the eye, and give q gay, lively, and
healthy impulse TO the streams. The open
spots of prairie are constantly alternating
with groves of unusual richness and beauty
Of foliage The residences which adorn
SO many of the rich and highly cultivated
farms-often smiling out from amidst the
green luxuriance Of inviting groves-are
generally large and commanding, and FREE
quently splendid il would be diff.
fcn!t to find, in any of the eastern states,
50 large district Of country. with so many
indications OF comfort and convenience, and
the appearance Of such vast resources for
human happiness and mental and moral de-
velopements."

Rous FOR FoE.-The Russians are not
such barbarians but that they can show a
great deal of the amenities Of civilization
when q proper subject calls for il. In
speaking Of Lord Raglan's death, one of The
Russian writers says:
..Lord Raglan was, on several occasions,
distinguished by the late Emperor Nicholas,
as also by the reigning Emperor. He will
be personally regret,eoin Russia BY all who
had an opportunity of knowing and appre-
ciating the nobleness Of his sentiments and
the uprightness Of his character. As SUBJ
jet he performed his duty by obeying the
command of his Sovereign, and as soldier
by yaliantly defending the honor Of his flag;
but even in the execution Of his duty he pre-
served emblemished TO his death his own
personal dignity and that OF his country.
ale has fallen, like 30 many others, q
victim to this disastrous war. Honored be
his memory, and respected be his grave,
which will be as sacred on the soil of Rus
STA as on that of England.

Lowing bril.ian, passage:
As we steamed down the Bay, passed the
glazing sand,hiils Of Coney Island, the light
houses on Sandy Hook and entered the open
Atlantic, there was no swell TO disturb the
cheerialness OF our landsmcn and landnaia-
ems. The sea was blue and tranquil, scarce
ly rippled by the breeze, snd stretching
away on the right 10 far horizon. On the
left ran the iron beaches Of Long Island, no,
now loud and terrible with IRENE naoas

their ieaihery hem Of surf as if they had
never known wreck. The hills OF New

sunset, did not excite the apprs hension ot,he
mos; timid A elf Of crimson cloud, which
oyerhnpg the discerning sun, gradually fell
and spread along the Long Island coast,
heavy with electric heat, and for two or
three hours we had superb display OF light
ming pyr.techaics. Quipering sheets of
golden fame, darling hiiher and ,hiiher,
seemed playing at hide and seek behind the
clouds; javelins Of white brilliance were
hurled from the loopholes Of their frowning
hastions; the rnsa, the assault the retreat,
the dance OF triumph, followed each other
in rapid succession. until the bank Of clouds
rose, rolled ,owsrd us and broke into sheets
