There arc fow things In the world more beau
tiful aud delightful than
ENGLISH LANDSCAPE IN JUNE.
Ihe grass go thick and luxurant, Of the decp-
est grcon; the dnisiea and butto1-cups, With !
which the carpos Of green ia everywhere yario- !
!gatod tho brilliant colors Of tho liburnum and |
fhododendrom, growing eyor1whero In tho |
greatest profusion tho hawthorn, In full bloom,
rorfuming the air; tho old ivy, covering ovory
wall, and hiding eyory deformity; and thon tho |
pastoral features OF dno sheep and CATTLE |
make landscape of quiet beauty and repoae Of
exceeding loyolinoss.
We landed at |
on tho 1st day Of June, and found city |
very plainly and substantially built, but |
with little oleganco. The hotels do |
not compare in style or magninoenoo with
thoHe of the chief cities Of tho United Btaton;
our new hotels in Chicago-tha Paolao, 6her- |
man, fremont, and Palmer Housos-aro very
much finer. Tho water iB poor, aud this Is Tho
case IN many p,aceB in England. We never ap-
I,recated before the insstimablo blessing Of tho
enpply OF puro living, abundant wAtor we have In
Chicago. No city IN tho world IL 10 blessed.
At Liverpool and elsewhere, have beon
shocked at
THE DRUNKENNESS
prevailing, and among s0on,en. Ono bees much
moro Of it than In tho United States. At Liver
pool, ! saw, Mt evening, many women lying on
tho steps Of St. Georges Hall. dead drunk. Ono
Roes In the citiog Of England an extreme Of
poverty and wrotchedness mover Witnessed in
the United States
KNows1EY HALL
Tho nnc: mt Boat of tho Earl Of Derby Is
Knowsley Hall. Owing to m accident, failed to
find tho proper poraon to givo mo an order Of ad-
mission. Not willing to bo disappointed, / drove
to tho lodge-Cato, and, by the aid Of an English
shilling, my card and perhaps some tmpudence,
wns admitted, and drove to the Hall. Gent my
card to Admiral Hornsboy, who had charge Of the
place. AMI was treated with tho greatest courtesy.
Hero VIC aAw for tho first timo an English park,
AN inclosure Of fiftoou miles, surrounded by
high, old, iyy-covored wall ; and, within, those
venerable oaks, beoches, elms, for which Eng
land is 30 distinguished we]l-kept lawns long
yiatas, where tho deer reposed In aB much seou-
rity as the sheep on New England hillside.
From Liverpool wo went to
CHESTER,
quaint, old town, dating It's origin away back
to tho days Of tho Roman invasion. Here Nc aaw
for tho first time cathedral, very ancient and
sombre, rich in carved stone and oak, and pio-
turosque by it's iyy-coyered towers.
EATON HALL.
While staying at Chester, We drove out TO
Eaton Hall, the scat Of tho Marquis u Vest
minister, ono of tho most wealthy aoblomen Of
England. Tho Hall fs i1a.nenso In siza It
fronts tho River Doe. r. which tho approach is
in @ series Of terr~ses, going down to tho bank
It hae magnificent avenue Of majestic syac-
morca Inns, and oaks, mingled. The gardens
n.x, very extensive, with long ranges Of
glass, with every flower and fruit, natre and OK
cite, in tho greatest perfection and profuslon.
Fruit in every stage, from bloom to ripe perfec-
tion, hung upon tho trees and vinos; graper Of
eyory variety peaches, figs. pne-applos, apricoss,
llams cherries, melons, ,-overything al forced,
and all in tho most lavish abundance, to supply
Tho table Of tho Marquis every day Of the year
The lihurnn1n ia parhapa tho most beautiful
of golden tlowera against q background OF dark
old Ivy, III beautiful beyond description, At
Eaton Hail. We saw for the first time 6ne specl-
1nens Of that most picturesque aud venerable OF
all overgreens, the cedar OF Lebanon. Webared
our heads in reverence 10 this old Bhla tree, az
We would in Bome old cathedral.
