BKLoIT, Wisconsin, August 81.
We have changed our base very mate
rally since our last letter and into n much
cooler latitude. The atmosphere at Gin
oinnati was sitting. 1t was hot the day
we reached there and hotter the morning
we left. II not only took the starch out of
our linen, but it wilted US in person; in
fact it used us up entirely. Once
UNDER WAY,
the sun rose higher and more OF it, the |
clouds of dust penetrated the cars, and by
the time we reached Columbus your cor
respondent could stand it no longer, and |
left the cars for change, and was soon |
sorry we had done SO, Ms we learned tina, |
the
CHOLERA rIEND
was still busy gathering them in
throughout the city. Two had died that
morning, one after an illness Of only three
hours. This news at once made us feel
worse, and the old sbominable abdominal
pain took hold with renewed force. We
TOOK WALK
for . change, strolled down to tho peni-
Tertiary with the intention of taking
look at the eight hundred in
mates, when we were told at
the door that over twenty pris-
oners had already died of the cholera,
(Which frat made its appearance within
the walls of the prison mono of them being
sick over eight or twelve hours. We at
once lost all interest in the penitentiary,
wended our way to the depot, and gladly
resumed
OUR SEAT IN THE CARS,
and felt better..as soon as we got outside the
city limits Columbus is improving very
rapidly. A railroad having been built
into the coal region, has caused manufac-
lures Of all kinds to spring up like magic;
aud the growth Of the city the past few
years has been rapid. We reached Cieve-
land that night, and was glad there were
no trAins left on the Sabbath to take ne
away. We spoke in former letter Of thu
cleanliness of this city. 1t puts in the
shade any other place we have visited in
that respect.
ONE OR TWO CASES OF CHOLERA,
early in the season, caused so much Harm
that the whole city was at once put under
strict sanitary rule, which is still rigdly
enfyrced. Cleveland well merits the name
Of the Forest City, nearly every street
Astounding in magnificent shade trees.
We think Euclid avenue, without excep-
tions, is the finest street we ever saw.
Bsyard Taylor, in one his lectures there
told his audience that it was the finest
street he had ever seen, either in this
country or on his eastern
travels in the old world.
EUCLID AVENUE
10 five miles in length, over one hundred
feet In width from curb TO curb, and the
sidewalks are as wide as ordinary streets,
beside double row Of shade trees. The
avenue is filled with elegant residences
some of them perfect palaces. On the
north side Of the avenue the lots are
from
SIX TO EIGHT HUNDRED FEET DEF.
The houses, setting back about midway,
making a most magnificent lawn with
no fences between for blocks to mar their
symmetry. The lawns were filled with
rustic arbors and seats, hanging baskets,
flowers, shells and statues in profusion.
A ride through this lovely place is well
worth visit to Cleveland. We took the
first train on the lake Shore road on Mon
day morning and rested tina, night

This city, like Columbus, is growing with
