SCENERY IN THE NETHERLANDs-The country is
saturated delta like that of the Pc, while Bruges,
Ghent Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hague
and Utrecht through their rivers canals sea and at
mosphere, resemble Venice. Here, as at Venice
nature has made a colorist Observe the differ
ent aspect of things according as you are in dry
country like Provence and the neighborhood of
Florence, or on wet plain like the Netherlands.
In the dry country the line predominates, and at
once attracts attention; the mountains cut sharp
against the sky with their stories OF architecture of
grand and noble style, all objects projecting up
ward in the limpid air in varied prominence Here
the low horizon is without interest, and the con-
tours of objects are softened blended and blurred
out by the imperceptible yapor with which the at
mosphere is always filled that which predomiuates
is the spot. COW pasturing, a roof In the centre
OF field, man leaning on parapet appear as one
tone among other tones The object energies; it
does not start suddenly out Of it's surroundings as if
punched out; you are struck by its modelling that
is to say by the different degrees of advancing lum
nousness and the diverse gradations of melting color
which transforms its general tint into a relief, and
gives to the eye sensation OF thickness. You
would have to pass many days in this country in
order to appreciate this subordnation of the line to
the spot blush or gray yapor constantly rising
from the canals, the rivers, the sea- and from the
saturated soil universal haze forms soft gauze
over objects, even in the finest weather Flying
scuds, like thin, halftorn white drapery float over
the meadows night and morning. l have repeatedly
stood the quays of the Scheldt contemplating the
broad, palcid and slightly nppled water, on which
float the dark huks. The river Shines and on its
fiat surface the hazy light reflects here and there un
steady scintiations Clouds ascend constantly
around the horizon their pale, leaden hue and their
motionless files suggesting army of spectres, the
spectres Of the humid soil, like so many phantoms,
always revived and bringing back the eternal show
ers. Toward the setting sun they become rudy,
while their Compliant Masses trellised all over with
caded simarres and the embroidered silks with
which Jordaens and Rubens envelop their bleeding
martyrs and their sorrowful madonnas. Quite low
down on the sky the sun seems an enormous blaze
subsiding into smoke. On reaching Amsterdam or
Ostend the impression again deepens; both sea and
sky have no form; the fog and interposed showers
leave nothing to remember but colors. The water
changes in hue every half hour-now of pale wine
inge, of chaky whiteness, now yellow like
soitened Mortar, now black like liquid SCOT, and
sometimes of sombre purple stripped with dashcs
Of green. After few days experience you find that
n such nature only gredations, contrasts and har
nonies in Short the value of tones is of any import

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago @
Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the G, r.
& O., joined together with the B, 81 NJ Rall-
road by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
aled the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to On3R.
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads,
and forms to day the leading route to Call
fornia. The middle Branch, entering NebrsR-
ka at Portsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
the State Capital, and will this year be finish
ed to Fort Kearney, forming the shortest
route across the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging aS
Red Oak, falls into a line running down the
Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas City and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri
and, by slight divergence, can see Nebr@s
ka also.
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for It's towns high gleaun-

PHENOMENA OF THE FIRE
From the Green Bay Advocate.

There are ONE phases Of the great
. alamity which fell upon this region last
week, worthy Of scientific investigation
The testimony Of the cooler headed sur
yivors If the fires at Peshtigo, the Sugar
Bush, and Williamsonville il united as 20
one phenomena: They lay that the fire
did not come upon them gradually from
burning trees or other objects to the
windward, but the first notice they had
of it was a whirlwnd Of flame, in great
clouds, from above the tops of the trees,
which fell upon and envelnped every
thing. The atmosphere seemed one of
fire. The poor people inhaled it, or the
intensely hot air, and fell down dead
This is verified by the appearance Of
many OF the corpses. They were found
dead IN the roads and open spaces, where
there were no visible marks of fire near
by, with not a trace of burning upon
their bodies or clothing. At the Sugar
Bush, which Is an extended clearing, IN
some places four miles in width, c0rpses
were found I'D the open road, between
fences which were only slightly burned.
No mark of FIRE was upon them, but they
LAID there, as if asleep.
This i,henomenA seems to explain the
fact that so many were killed in compacf
masses They seem to have hudded to-
gether In what were evidently regarded
ut the moment as the safest places. away
from buildings trees, or other int1ama
Die material, and there to have died TO
gether
Fences, around cleared fields were
burned in spots of only few rods in
length, and elsewhere not touched Fish
we're killed in the streams-as at Pesh
tigo.
We hear the universal testimony that
the pre- FALLING idea among the terror
stricken people OF those places was that
the Last Day had come. They needed
not 20 be terror-Strcken for such ImagIn
ings What other explanation could b.
given to that imminent time, when there
was an ,minous, warning sound coming
from the distance, when che skv, 50 dark
Just before, burst into great clouds Of
fire, the beasts of the forest came running
for succor into the midst Of the settle
ment, and great, red, consuming, roar
ing hell # fire fell upon all around. The
dreadful scene lacked nothing but tbe
sounding of the last rrump-and indeed
the approach of the awful roaring and
the pre- m0nitions from the distance sup
piled even that to the appalled, imagin
iDgs of the people.
The Espy theory, we think it is, that
and wide spread fires will
bring on rain, seems to be entirely ex-
ploded in this instance These fires had
lasted nearly or quite four weeks, ravag
ing forests over a great area, and still no.
a drop OF rain The rain only came with
i change of wind to the Northward, and
several days after the worst burnings
were over with.
