PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.-Knowing you
home iriends are interested in my welfare
and happiness, 1 hasten to tell You of my
safe and happy journey. 1t was just one
week ago last Wednesday evenii g since
our little party bade some Of you a bas'y
good bye" &C the UGioD depot. and jung
ed aboard the Bee Line train bound for the
East. We found the cars literally alive
With hu an freight, all ticke'ed to- Pnila-
delpbis; and long before com or able quar-
tiers had been secured for the mig n, We had
lett the busy streets OF Indianapolis far be-
hind, and were speeding rapidly our
way to 1868 great attrsciiOn-the Centen
NAL. Early in the -ummer we had caught
the "big show fever" and oshIng short OF
this one wish of our hearts being grstitieC
could have kept us in good spirits tnrough
all the discom'orts of that first nights trav-
ell, for We INDUCED in no Pullman Car
luxury, as there was only one on, ana that
had been engaged three weeks in advance;
Ihe seats were all filed, and worse still,
no ais had been provided for the con.
veniepce cf the weary, standing ones.
Hsppily, we were not among that unfOr
tuu ate class, thanks to q couple o
nice, Id farmers (ot the blue jeans type)
wuo kindly offered us ladies their Sc {.
which We gratefully accepted. But let me
tell you, such courtesy is the exec ption
and not he rule, and self comfort the
chiet aim of travelling people. l will
ske tcb briefly the first part of our trip, Ior

passed most OF the time eating, chatting,
and zing. 'Tis true. there wss the usuai

SEE OURSELVES as OTHERS SEE U.s."
There was q gentleman scrJss the
aisle who had considerable trouble with
his free ticket, notwithstanding the Rev.
