BROWNSVILLE, Aug. 81, 1870.
We have to chronicle change of base
as regards the weather, and in lieu of
linen busters, wear wooden clothing to
keep comfortable, aud have good fire
in the evening to keep our fingers and
toes from freezing. I am of the opinion
that the readers of the REGISTER will be
well posted as to the many attractions
to be found on the line of the William
cite Valley and Cascade Mountain Wag-
on road, and tits little singular that SO
many literary cusses like myself should
travel over that tLoroughfare, and be
willing to bore the public with a rehash
of what was seen and heard during a
"sojourn" in the mountains. I promise
however, to keep "mum" hereafter, and
if anyone wants to know about Fish Lake
tell them to wait until the first man goes
up there, and an "effusion" will soon
make its appearance in doses to suit the
most fastidious, and charm every one
but the printer who has the communica-
ton to "set up"
At the Upper Soda we were informed
that grass could be obtained at what is
known as Summit Prairie, which was

ranch on which the Upper Soda is loca-
ted aud spends his entire time, summer
and winter there. He intends to- make
that his home, SO he says, and improve
the place What the chief attractions of
the Upper Soda are, I am unable to say,
and 1t is certainly the hottest locality I
ever was in in my life. There is no ahade
OF any kind afforded in the vicinity, and

ept troubles in France may result in a

years old under Louis Philippe he held
several important military commands,
especially in the campaigns against Add

Belgians in 1888, and was proposed for
King Of Greece, but his father would
not permit him to accept either dignity
He is the father of the Count d'Eu, the
son-in.law and General of the Emperor

years old, In his fathers time a naval
commander of repute. The Duke of
Aumsiee is aged AZ he served in Alge-
ria under Bureaud and Baraguey d'Hil-
