thing but dared not touch any thing
Watching an opportunity, however, when
the guides back was turned, we snatched
a twisted cord of fringe from All ancient

and had it out Of sight in an ginstant.
These traditions are doubtless founded on
facts, which are matter CT history, but
the narrative must be taken with grain
lof salt. 1t required Sd to get in and sew
eral more to get out. We fortunately
rnade the acquaintance of an old gentle
man who kindly conducted us about the
city two hours, pointing out places of in
terest-among others, the house in which
Lord Brougham was born-and scorned
to accept any remunerative.
Scotland is fine country, and shows
thrift and enterprise. Nature has perhaps
done as much for Ireland, but the people
have not.
To Newcastle-on-Tyne, $50 called to dis
tinguish it from another Newcastle in the
south of England was ride of six hours.
Entered England at 10:15 A. NJ, May 2nd.
The boundary was pointed out by the

principally devoted to the grazing of
coarse, long wooded sheep. We stopped
at Newcastle to visit one of the coal
mines for which the place is so famous.
We were very politely treated by the en-
gineer where we called, who furnished
us with a proper which would be
| laughable in the streets of Kenosha-and
kindly volunteered to show us through
the mine himself. We descended $50
feet into the bowels Of the earth, into one
of the most internal holes we ever read of.
IN the pit the mining branches eff in va
rious directions; we took one drift and
followed it a mile and quarter and came
to the miners half clad imps of darkness
at v elk wherethey could not straighten
in all day, the seam being only four
feet thick. The passage way out was
about six or eight feet vide and AZ to
s feet high. We had but one bump of
the head in the whole exclusion, but Wis
itors must learn to stoop low" The coal
is drawn to the bottom of the shaft on
small ears on railway by horses, and
when the passage is not high enough for
them, by small ponies, The horses re-
main in the pit as long as they live. The
aggregate length Of the. various tunnels
was thee miles. In the winter the miners
see daylight but once a week, descending
before light in the morning, and coming
out after dark.
To Leeds, famous for its wooden manu-
features, was ride of "a hours. 1t CON

of great interest Population 100000.
Made the acquaintance by letter with the
of Chicago, who conducted us about the
city.
Another morning ride of two hours
brought us to Sheffield, noted for cutlery,
and heavy iron manufactures. We gained
access without any trouble, to a cutlery
establishment, and were conducted
through the rooms where the various parts
of the work were performed by hand :
work which Yankee mechanic would
have a machine for in three days. We
were told the workmen were opposed to |
the introduction Of machinery, and would |
qatst the qoorIS if it was done. Wenext at
tempted to gain admission to some of the
rolling mills, but made a failure at first,
they being little jealous of strangers,
but nothing daunted we tried again, at

Co., and after ceremony enough to admit
us to the royal presence, succeeded in OBJ
tanning an interview with the managing

our occupation, object, &C., and becoming
satisfied that we would not steal the trade,
