ing at $50, and in an hour we're at
Buffalo
There was nothing of interest on the
way up except at Tonawanda A crowd
of people had assembled to get glace
at General Grant, who was on the train.
When the train stopped they gathered
around the car, in which the General |
and his family we're seated, and gave
three very discordant cheers for the hero
of the war, for the Union, and then
then commenced the effort to call him
out. The General, however, did not
leave his seat and the train proceeded.
A considerable crowd was collected at
the Buffalo Depot for like purpose, bat
whether they met with better success or
not, We did not stop to see.
Having had the good fortune to make
the acquaintance of Mr.. Mathews, of
the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, we
accompanied him to his Office, and
escorted By him in person, took Q look
through that mammoth establishment
1t is beyond all comparison the largest
az well as the most complete printing
establishment in the United States. It
is here all those beautiful mammoth
cards, Of the various railroads are made,
and in beauty and artistic finish they are
not squalled in the United States, per-
haps not in the world.
They are just now engaged in getting
up q monster card for the Atlantic and
Mississippi steamship line, which will
excel anything of the kind ever at
tempted.
Mr.. Mathews, the principal proprietor
is an accomplished printer and artisan,
and most interchangeable worker, and
| gives his personal attention to every de-
partment of his business, from the short
est news item to the largest show bill
Wewere highly interested in the estab-
lishment, and felt greatly obliged to Mr..
Mathews for his courtesy in showing rs
through it.
While waiting for dinner and the
train, we strolled around the city, which
contains nearly 100000 inhabitants.
This is the greatest depot for grain on
the continent, as nearly all the grain
used in the United States passes through
Buffalo on its way to the East.
The grain elevators around the wharf
are very numerous, and of gigantic pro-
portions
The people here may be said to have
grain on the brain, just as some of our
citizens were recently afflicted with oil
A vast amount of shipping was in port,
and several lines of large propelIers
leave and arrive daily from Cleveland,
Toledo, Detroit, Chicago and elsewhere.
We saw also great deal of very fine
fruit-apples, pears, and plums--chisay
from Genessee county.
At 2 o'clock we took the train for
Cleveland. The Lake Shore road is
certainly one of the finest We ever
travelled on, and is admirably managed.
They have first and second-class cars,
and when man buys his ticket he
chooses the character of car be desires

terference of ill-mannered brakesmen,
so common on some of the Western
roads.
At Dunkirk we had the great gratis.
cation of meeting our elegant young
friend Eek Van Rirer and his young
i wife, just returning from their bridal
tour This greatly increased the pleas
ure of the ride to Cleveland, as we had
seen no familiar faces for three days,
and the run to Cleveland was delightful.
At Cleveland we had an excellent sup
per, and then took the train for Cincin-
natl, on the Cleveland, Columbus & Gin.
cinnsti Railroad. This 10 one Of the
Oldest, as it is one of the best, roads in
the State Of Ohio, and has been man

great efficiency and success, and is, We
are glad to see, doing fine business.
There is one drawback to this road,
and one which the management should
remedy. We refer to the sleeping cars.
They are execrable and disgrace.
They are Independent of the road, the

This system is wrong, and a change
should be effected by every road owning
the sleeping cars that pass over the line,
and good pleasant cars should be put in
the place of the miserable things that
are now used. The road 10 losing repu-
tatiOn by permitting this state of things

Coming through at night we could, of
course, take no observations by the way.
The road is smooth and trains run at
an exhilerating rate. We left Cleve:
land at 10 o'clock, and arrived at Gin
cinnati at Z next morning, tired and
sleepy.
b@ The emigration in Norway is be-
coming so great as to cause considerable
alarm in that country. The average
yearly emigration since 1857 has been
about 5000; this year it will reach from
Il 1900 to $4,000. An effort has been
made by the Government to cruso this
tide of emigration, but it does not ap-
