The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1879-02-06
Travelling in 1S41.

The late Henry Wells, who was the
founder of the American express sYs-
tenn, once delivered before the Buffalo
Historical Society paper upon that
enterprise. His description of the rail-
road route from Albany to Buffalo at
that time, 1841, when he made the
trip weekly, suggests at once the con-
trast between railroad travelling then
and now. The railroad was q strap
rail, very suggestive of snake-heads
and given 10 run-offs; and the common
road, of which there were sixty-five
miles, was to be endured in summer.
and in the spring and fall was simply
horrible. 1 have been eighteen nights
out of twenty-one upon the road, and
"still alive" We left Albany in the
evening-one seat for myself and one
for my money trunk; the other trunks
were in the baggage-car. Arriving at
Utica at three in the morning, it is al
most ludicrous to recall the fact that
we, all the westward-boundp passengers,
were forced to remain for two hours till
a locomotive should arrive from SYRIA
cuse! Then we went as far as Auburn
by rail, and then "Sherwood's''
coaches brought us to Geneva; and
often the only place to trot was on the
'Cayuga Bridge. We found rail again
from Geneva to Rochester and Batavia,
and then it took forty miles of staging
to enter Buffalo.--Albany IN. ~ A.

in his theory inconsistent with the fact
that crises and panics arise from other
than meteorological causes; but when
such do happen, they seldom, If ever.
lave the intensity, profundity, ana
wide extension of the true decennlal
crises.
The conclusion which the author
draws from his speculation is that "if
there is any truth in all these sun-spOt
speculations, there must be q periodic
variation in the suns rays, of which the
sun spots are mere sign, and perhaps
nm unsatisfactory one. 1t is possible
that the real variations are more regu-
lar than the sun-spot variations, and
thus may perhaps be explained the Gu
rious fact that the decennial crises
recur more regularly on the whole than
the maxima and minima of sun spots.
To determine this mooted question,
then, he suggests the Importance OF at
once undertaking direct observations
upon the varying power and character
of the suns rays; and to this end solar
observatories should be established in
every country where the sun can be OBJ
served most free from atmospheric opac-
itv. If from such observations it be found,
as will probably be the case, that the
sun does vary, "the time will come
when the most important news for the
commercial world contained in the
Times will be cablegrams concerning
the solar power" And he adds that
certainly an empire upon which the
sun never sets cannot wisely neglect to
keep a watch on that great fountain Of
energy, since "from it we derive our
strength and our weakness, our success
and our failures, our citation in com
mercial mania, and our despOndency
and ruin in commercial collapse. y
