WESTERN WANDERINGs.
NUMBER III


The little engine which has given US
such pleasant, lively ride so far, takes
the side track to give place for the noun
tain engine. This mountain engine is a
wonderful piece of machinery. Weighs
26 tons and has eight drive wheels, and
looks capable of climbing almost any
thing. We pull out of La Veta, and we
wonder whether this lively speed is to
be kept up when we get fairly among
the mountains. You can look ahead
from the coach window and as the pom
derous little engine marches around
curves SO sharp that sometimes she is
nearly out of sight and up the fearful
grade, you can see no more apparent eff
fort than if she was on level track. The
rock bluffs grow higher and higher on one
side of the track, while the bottom of the
canon sinks lower on the other side
We pass around the base of Veta Noun
tain and soon we are in sight of the en-
trance of the famous mule shoe curve
Looking ahead you see the track disap-
pear around the mountain. Look across
the canon and you can see away up on
Dump Mountain where it appears again
and again disappears around the side of
the mountain. The speed of the train
slackens to eight miles per hour. We
run one-and-one-half miles up the can
on, cross over and are running back in
exactly the same direction we came.
This curve is so sharp that the rear end
of train of 16 cars will run In exactly
the opposite direction from the engine.
The grade is fearfully steep. Soon we
begin to look down into the tops of tall
pine trees which we passed such little
while ago. As you reach the corner of
Dump Mountain and begin to pass out
of mule shoe curve the view is grand be
yond description. You can see the little
track winding down the canon so near
it seems you might throw g stone across
to it, but it is about one eighth of mile
across to it, and six hundred feet below
you. Every cross tie is as distinct as
the ones you are passing over, but SO
small they look like they would make
nice stove wood. There is q side track
where the road crosses the canon. We
met freight train there and now we see
it crawling along below, just going out

Each dollar of paper currency is now
worth 991a cents in coin, and the total
value in coin of our paper currency is
more than 1864, 100000.
The value of the paper dollar is as
staple as that of coin. Coin and paper
are practically abreast of each other.
The tluctuation in the value of the paper
dollar has not in the last five months ex-
ceetied the fraction of a cent. The total
increase in the coin value of our paper
currency since 1866 is about SITS, O0O,-
900.
Nothing connected with the financial
affairs of the Government is more inter
esting and instructive than the state of
trade with foreign countries The ex-
ports from the United States during the
year ending June 80, 1878, were larger
than during any previous year in the
history of the country. From the year
1868 to the year 1873 the net imports
into the United States largely exceeded
the exports from the United States-the
excess of imports ranging from $39, OOO,-
600 to $182,0OOOOO.
During the years 1874 and 1875 the ex-
ports and imports were about equal.
During the years ending June 80, 1876,
1877, 1878, however, the. domestic ex-
ports from the United States greatly ex-
ceeded the net imports, the excess of ex-
ports increasing rapidly from year to
year. -
