lures aud buildings, which were pointed ,out
one after the other, to the infinite delight OF
the voyagers.
At one mile high the health of her Majesty
was drunk, with waving of flags and becom-
ing honors. Then followed the respective
Governments of our companions, both Ameri-
can and German. These toasts were given in
that broad cosmopolitan spirit which became
men who, for the time present, had left all ma
tons, and felt common love For the human
family and for those who direct their desti-
nies. 1t was therefore with heartfelt sincerity
we hoped that the calamties which afflicted
some portions of the great globe beneath us
would speedily cease, and that science and
Christianity, instead of strife and misery, may
speedily prevail.
There were other appropriate interchanges
OF sentiment, and then the Stars and Stripes
and the English flag waved harmoniously, and
the setting sun, too, as if approvingly, shed
his parting lustre on a range Of gorgeous
clouds in the east, and we travelled on most
merrily until darkness prevailed, when we
cast anchor at Potion, near Bedford, where an
easy descent was made.

GEN. Scorr AT HoME.-Gen. Scott kept
open house on New Years. He has broken
up housekeeping and has rooms at Delmoni-
cos. In the elegant mansion of Moses Ii.
Grinnell, corner of Fifth avenue and Four
teenth street, with several spacious dwelling
houses added to it, Delinonico has his uptown
establishment. In a suite of parlors on the
lower floor, Gen. Scott has his headquarters.
His rooms are such as military gentleman OF
position and fortune would desire. They are
ornamented with busts, statues, maps, pain
tings and implements of war. His daughter
lives near him, aud her children, intelligent
and sprightly, may be seen roaming round the
rooms, climbing his knee for kiss or smile
or kind word, and throwing a halo of youth
and pleasure over the home and declining
years of the invalid hero. Gen. Scott Is a
great favorite of the ladies. Every day rare
and fresh flowers are laid by fair hands on
his table, filling the room with exquisite sweet
ness. Fruits of all kinds are sent In to him
daily, and OF these attentions he is especially
proud, and makes particular mention OF them
to all familiar friends who visit him. His
bodily health Is not firm. Five years ago he
met with an accident that affected his spine,
since which time he has not been able to sit
on his horse. Indeed he has not been on a
horse but once since the accident, and then
he was helped on and of, remaining but few
minutes that his portrait might be painted.
He seldom leaves the room aud walks about it
with great difficulty. But his mind is just as
clear as when his cannons pealed along our
& frontiers in the war of 1912. He is well posted
in all the acts Of the government and Of the
army. He reads everything that relates to
our national peril, has his own decided opiii-
ions of movements and Of men. aud expresses
himself freely without the.veil of secresy OF
reserve about the war, its duration aud termi-
nation, the courage and skill of our Generals
aud the obstacles that still lie in our path

TExAs.-Gen. Hamilton, Military Cover
nor of Texas, has issued long address to the
citizens of that state, in which he says:
Citizens of Texas let truth be between us.
Again call upon you to answer, whose prom
ises have tailed and whose predictions verifi-
ed? Ifa single promise made By the rebel
leaders has been realized, challenge you to
name it.
Arc you more free, more prosperous, more
happy, than in former years? Are you more
free to remain at home in the enjoyment of
the society OF your wives and children more
free to engage in the avocations most conge-
NAL to your tastes and conducive to your in
terests? Are you more free to express your
own opinion and to listen to those OF your
neighbors and friends? more free to go and
come, at win, and to devote your time to the
interest of those you love?

admiration, but actually produced merriment

almost impossible that those vast edifces
