CITY AND SURROUNDING coUN

FREDERICK CITY AND SURROUNDING COUN-
DEAR EDITOR This city is one of
the earliest settled Of any in the State.
Its history runs back one hundred and
fifty years. 1t comprises a population
of about 5000. 1t is chiefly noted for
its many churches, the largest and most
wealthy of which is the Catholic.
There have been no Improvements made
for the last fifty years. Remains Of bar
racks and fortifications built by George
the third, Of England, are still plainly
to be seen. estss
There is tract of land running south
from Frederick, extending across the
Monacacy river, to the south line of the
county, called Carroll's Manor 1t wa
purchased by Thomas Carroll, the las
signer of the Declaration of Independ
ence, and received from him the Eng
lish title of Manor. Tt is by far the
richest soil that | have seen i'll the
South; it comprises Il tract of twelve
thousand acres. and no foot of its soil
can be purchased for less than one hun
dred dollars per acre. After leaving the
Manor the first object of interest that
engages the attention of the traveller, is
what is called Sugar Loaf Mountain. 1t
is an abrupt coniCal eminence of 1850
feet, view from the top of which over
looks fifty miles of surrounding coun-
try. 1t was used as a signal point dur
ing the war; the flag of our country
floating from its summit can plainly be
seen from Washington, Baltimore, Har-
per's Ferry, and other points. The
Potomac river can plainly be seen in all
its windings from the Ferry to wash
ington city. 1t is truly an object OF in
terest to visit this eminence.
Rockville is the county seat of Mont
gomery county. 1t is situated just fif-
teen miles from Washington, and is by
far the poorest section of country
through which have passed. The peo-
pie live in log huts, own about twenty
acres of bartered granite land; their
chattles consists of one mule, cow, or
sheep, and nine dogs; the latter always
watching the approach. of strangers,
and never failing to meet him twenty
rods from the house, with blood-shOt
eyes and open jaws, followed by a big
negro with a club, and judging from
their warlike, appearance, | have. many
times been unable to decide which to
dread the worst, the dogs or the negro.
This country is in wild, uncultivat-
ed state, and the people have no aspira-
tiOns beyond the present, and seek for
no enjoyment but a Potomac herring
and a cup of peneroil tea. But there is
still one redeeming trait of character,
and that is, their hospitality. They are

ABOUT twenty-five public buildings
are now in course of erection under the
Government Supervising Architect, all
of them to be fine structures and many
of them to cost, when completed, mill
lions of dollars. They comprise chiefly
court-houses, custom-houses, ,Iand post
offices-in most cases two of these
branches of the public service to be in
ciuded in one building-and are to be
erected in cities in all parts of the coun-
try, from Maine to Oregon and from
Michigan to Louisiana. Among the
greater and more costly buildings in
this class are the War and Navy Depart

THERE is to be genuine Roman Cath
Ollie pilgrimage from England. Not
such a one as recently went to Canter-
bury, but an undertaking under the
management of such men as the Duke
of Norfolk, Lord Denbigh, and Lord w.
Kerr. The destination of the pilgrims
is to be the now popular shrine at Paray
le Monial. where, according to the Ro-
man Catholic belief, Mary AIacoque was
entrusted with message to propagate
the worship of the Sacred Heart. Arch
bishop Manning has given his sanction
and approval to the pilgrimage. He
looks upon it as an act OF faith in the
sight Of world which is becoming
more and more unconscious of the pres.
ence and power of God. He believes
too, that the present state of Europe can.
not last long, and that men will have te
pay dear for the dishonor they have
heaped upon the Vicar of Christ. The
pilgrimage is to start on the I'd of Sep
tember. Xxx - ass sz@ ~

Ex-PKEsrDENr Thiers, in retrospect
Of his brief career as head of the French
Republic, may at least congratulate him
self upon the fact that in the French de-
partments hitherto occupied by the
Prussian troops, and which the latter
are now evacuating, his name and fame
have been kept in honor. AS the Prus-
SLAMS retire the liberated citizens throw
to the breeze flags bearing inscriptions
expressive of their sentiments, and
among these inscriptions such legends
as this, seen in the streets of Epinal, in
the vosges, evacuated on the 30th OF
July, are not unfrequent: t'Honor to
Theirs. the liberator of the territory! !''

LINCOLN, Aug. 18th, 1S7

LINCOLN, Aug. 10th, 1873.
The last United States census of Ne
braska farms showed one acre of wood
land for every three under tillage.
Nevertheless large portion of that
State is timberless. South of the Platte
River lumber for building is chiefly OBJ
tanned from Chicago or the Mississippi
River, via the railroad running west
ward from Burlington. But such lum-
Der is extensive. one-third more so than
in New England, and many pioneer
has no money, or next to none. How
then can a poor man obtain house !?
He can build sod house himself, incur
ring no expense whatever except for a
door and window, which he can buy
ready made for 81 at any railroad sta
tion. ..f.
The sod-house builder finds his ma
terial ready to his hand, in every fur
row of the virgin prairie his plow turns
up, The sods, eompacted by the tramp
of buifalOes and bound together by the
roots of the :'devil's shoe-string," and
every other vegetable product form bet
ter bricks than the Hebrews could have
furnished Pharaoh even before he
denied them straw. Out of this prairie
quarry about nine days labor of one
| man suffices to complete a sod-house fif-
| teen feet square on the inside-a dwell
| ing warmer in winter and cooler in sum-
| mer than any frame house. have seen
such an abode nine years old, yet still in
good repair. Many dwellers in houses
| of this sort have assured me that they
have suffered nothing from dampness,
| even when they had no floors, no cell
| ings, no plastering nor paper hangings.
But all these four additions soon gar
nish the OF liginal simplicity of many
sOd-hOuses. el.4
| The very roofs of sod-houses are often
made of sods supported by poles, which
the settler can cut along the banks OF
every water course. But if he lives
near no stream he must buy at least
rafters, and perhaps boards and shin
| giles for covering his house top. Sod
| roofs are warmer, lumber roofs are less
likely to leak. This novel style of archi-
lecture is increasingly popular and pre-
valent in Central Nebraska. A major
| ity of the dwellings on the homesteads
in Saline and York counties, along the
Burlington and Missouri River Railroad
as it pushes west from Lincoln, are sod
houses. No doubt those in other coun-
ties are so too. So are the habitatiOns OF
|
road land of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River Railroad Company. .t
In weeks ride just now through the
sod-house region-while calling at many
doors and entering not few-I have
found no man, no woman, no child
home-sick for the land they came from
On the other hand, all were full of hear
and hope-assured that by becoming
landlords they were about to become the
lords of the land. AS the Homestead
Bill gives them free farms, so the sods
give them free houses; and they are
doubtful which is the better boon.
The railroad lands above mentioned
have been bought on ten years credit
six per cent. interest, and on purchases
made since 1872, nothing of the princi
pal Is payable until the end of foul
years, while twenty per, cent. is thrown
off from land prices for prompt payment

1T appears that Canadian officers in
Manitoba two years ago set the fashion
of kidnapping the citizens of another
power, a subject upon which they now
complain in the case of the fugacious
'Iord" Gordon. The st. Paul Press
recalls the case of one Louis Letendre, a
citizen of the United States, who, on
October 20, 1871, was Kidnapped by a
couple Of Canadian officers while upon
American soil and engaged in the peace
able pursuit of his business avocations.
After arrest, which was on charge of
being ono of the Fenian raiders of that
year, he was first lodged in prison in
Fort Garry and afterwards in Stone
Fort, all in Manitoba. Tried and con-
demned to execution his sentence was
afterwards COMMITTED to twenty years
Imprisonment. He was finally released

Time works miracles, and SO it has
come to pass that the farmers of our
country are not so 'sloyaF' as they were
wont to be, on the average, towards the
administration. AS evidencing this fact
we clip the following resolution which
was passed by meeting of farmers held
at Clifton, Illinois, a few days since:
Resolved, That we believe thief should
be called q thief, without regard TO social
or political standing, and wecharacterize

HOW TO GO WEST.


This is an enquiry which every one
should have trqdLfuily answered before
he starts on his journey, and a little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. b. & Q. RR, running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Bur-
lington, and the 81. B. & w. Route,
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington b to Burlington, have
achieved splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burling-
ton they connect with the b. & NJ. r.
II. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
MIA and the Territories; and passen-
gers starting from Tionesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.
This Line has published pamphlet
called Chow to go West, which con-
tains much valuable information
