BosToN, Nov. 7th, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL Having been here
since 10 this morning and becoming rest
ed somewhat from my long ride from
California, ! have concluded to write you
a brief description Of the trip across the
continent, thinking it may not prove un-
interesting to some of your readers. |
cannot get away from here until 81 in
the morning, it being Sunday, and this is
Sunday town. Left Trinity Center
with fair wind, the dust had been laid
by shower the night before and | had a
very pleasant ride to Shasta and Reading
with one of Shasta's pet boys, and one OF
her lavorite daughters-judging from the
many goud-byes she had rendered her.
Arrived in Sacramento at 10 A. NJ, Sun
day. Waited here fIr the East bound
train and left at 80 p. NJ, for old Maine.
The number Of West bound passengers
being largely in excess of those for the
East, gave us lots Of room on the sleeping
cars. 1t was my good fortune to secure
berth in new G. p. Sleeper, as they
run only one on each train, having but
Of them, 50 far. They are built in Day
ton, Ohio and are equal in every respect
to Pullman cars. The old Silver Palace
cars are far behind them in comfort and
elegance. Among our passengers, | no.
tice Congressman Page who is on his way
to represent his constituents Of the Golden
State. 1T is pity our present represent
atives could not make better showing
in comparison with the Eastern men, in
manor born appearance, instead Of the
seen it ALL retired gambler or bull
whacker look. Mr.. Keene, of the Cali
| fornia Theater, is along with US, and also
Miss Navasour, an actress who is going
East to take part in some approaching
appointment. Keene returns after two
weeks' visit TO his friends in Buffalo, n.
Y. We reach Ogden after n fine trip
over the SerIas, without snow or rain.
AT Ogdrn we take the Pullman Sleeper,
andalter parting with newly y-made friends
who take their departure for a few days
run to Salt Lake, and meeting new faces
who make their final start for the East,
we are off again. Good weather and
good time soon brings us into Omaha.
After the transfer by means of the cold
and dirty cars Of the u. Z. Transfer Co.,
we arrive at Council Bluffs, with 4 as fine
trains waiting for US as can be found in
the world. The route Travelled by most
Of our party is the Burlington, and in a
few minutes the train speeds off for Chi
cago. supper in the Dining Car, break
fast at Galesburg, dinner at Mendoza, and
at 3 r. NJ, we are landed in the Central
Depot. From hence we take the train by
the Michigan Central and Great Western
railways to Suspension Bridge. The
Michigan Central is the best road | have
been on so far; for they run fast-and no
jumping OF the cars. AZ 2 p. NJ, Satur-
day we cross the Bridge; the wind is
blowing n gale. With that and the Falls
in the distance and the rushing waters
under Us, it looks like an easy way to
death but we get over, safely and after
lunch, take the n. Y. Central road for
Albany and Boston. This is one of the
lightning roads Of the country and it well
earns its fast reputation. We see fine
towns along the route, 9mong others, IL
ion, the town of Remington, the famous
gun man, and his manufactures pass us
IN plain sight. At Albany we take the
b. * a. road for Boston, where we ar
rive without accident on time. The
Massachusetts towns we pass through are
fine and substantial. 1t has rained all the
time from Burlington until this morning
and now it is cold and clear. Well, here
We are in Boston. Took walk around a
portion Of the city. 1t looks about the
same to me as it did when | was here over
seven years ago. The country generally
looks well to me, being much greener
than our parched up California. l.
