Great streams Of la-s-c .toA<. fall Assy
frum the line Of track, y ure4 oa. As IL by
sGP-rhumAn hand al along down the
mDun;ain sides.
Here ~e breathe freer, thinking tLa: il
aught should happen 10 the train, its mai
plunge over the rocky vail would be
stopped by the mighty trees that stand
stalwart upon the brink. Another sud-
den turn, and there is naught but the
sheer declivity between US and the track
nearly eight hundred feet in the dim dis
lance below.
Nearing Inspiration Point, the wildness
of the ride, the terror-inspiriug abrupt
ness of the precipice, the tOne-stayed
track-bed, and the hOarse mutterings of
the locomotive, tend to an excitement
that few can control, and for moment
the fact of being actually above the
clouds upon railroad train is not needed.
Nevertheless, it is true, for below US
wreathe the snowy fleece like softly fallen
snow, and out from which the Spanish
Peaks rise in sublime magnifcence, and
appear to fairly double their towering
height. As if as intensely impressed with
the utter solemnity and majesty of the
scene as we human beings, the ponderous
engine lengthcns its sonorous breathings,
more slowly strides its steel-bound way,
and passes the dizzy depths Of Inspira-
ton Point with motion as stately as to
suggest new thoughts of natures Won
drOus influences.
We watch until the last ray is lost in
the twilight haze, and the last tint faded
into the wondrously clear blue Of the
night; thea over the mountain sides; up
on the sharp-cut faces of the Spanish
Peaks, down into the moss-carpeted val
leys, into the car windows until the
lighted lamps look like dusky sparks Of
fire, shines the evening star.
Those who have seen the Alps, have en-
joyed TO the fullest the glorious vistas of
Switzerland, and have since crossed the
Sangrc de Cristo range over Veta Pass by
starlight, declare there is nothing in all
Europe to equal 1.-THE Rocky Mountain
Tourist.
A GAUDY ARRAY.-Scarlet is by far the
In s. q &C. h<,
British soldiery. The London Ness gives
an account of the discussions that have
been going on relative to the uniform of
the volunteers and says that they are
gradually adopting the red. Gray was
formerly adopted by many as the most
scrviceable and least likely to be spoiled
by rough usage, as also because the color
was not easily distinguishable against
the sky. line; Others chose dark green uni
forms because dark green was the color
of the regular Heterogeneous; while
third party, small at first, but growing
daily larger, clothed themselves in red
because it is the national color. "In
very few years." says tho NeUs, 1--WE may
militia will be tho universal color also of
the volunteers, for whereas at the begin
ming OF the volunteering red coats were
few and far between, while gray and
green were the popular colors, the re-
verse is at the present moment the case.
1t Was but the other day that two more
battalions of the celebrated Gray Bri-
gade' announced their resolve to adopt Q
scarlet uniform; and, according to state
ment just made by the secretary of state
for wsr, gray and green are nov vastly in
the minority. Mr.. Hardy has told Us
thu, there are nincty one regiments uni
formed in Scarlet sixty-six In green, and
dffy seven in gray.
