OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON D. g., Sept. 5, 1879.
New York Republicans, by their
excellent platform and ticket, and by
the unanimity with which both were
endorsed, and still more by the
hearty support which is in all parts
Of the States promised on election
day, have done nobly. They will
succeed this Fall, and that is best
guarantee Of success a year later.
Democratic papers here speak of dis
satisfaction among Administration
Republicans at the nomination of
Cornell. This is nonsense. Such
Republicans would perhaps have
bsen better pleased with another can.
didate, but have not found one of
them-and I have earched-who
will not do all he can for the ticased.
The few planters and other prop
erty owners Of Louisiana who control
the political affairs of that State, have
already begun to advance the disas-
ferrous effects Of the late storm as a
reason or excuse for not voting the
tax necessary for the payment of the
interest on the debt Of the State.
The storm is expected to have con
siderable effect on the coming cleo
tions. The losses by it have been
very great, probably exceeding $1O,-
100000, but the people of Louisiana
would do well to consider whether
re-establisheI credit would not be of
morse service to them under Just
such circumstances, than any 5tmpor-
airy advantage they might gain by
refusal to vote the necessary tax.

THOUSAND ISLANDS, Aug. 25th.
a., y,r,,. ,.>-,,S

"LoTUs LAND"
have found Lotus Land at last
the land Of dreamy forgetlulness OF
all the toll and turmoil and multi
pied cares of the great busting
world, between whose shores we
float and sing, fish and sleep amid
the wondrous beauties of this vast
archipelago. We forget, smopg
these islands, the fretting incidents,
the crushing burdens of yesterday;
family the thought comes to us MS
we write, perched on a jutting rock,
MT whose foot the green St. Law
renee waters gently break, that once
we knew other men and other scenes
almost ~e have to pinch ourselves

ing our return, business that soon
will be crying for our care, vulgar
dollars and cents to be counted-or
scrambled for. Every day is a sepa-
rate age; every moment is full OF
calm, delicious restfulnees; every
scene brings new and varied beauties
to our delighted eyes, and every one
of you, dear readers, will accuse OF
hyperbole every narrator Of the SIM
pie truth concerning these islands
until you have been here and seen
and felt for yourselves.
Many tourists rush through in true
American style on big steamer,
drop the morning paper or latest
novel just long enough to glance
over the rail off at pretty vista OF
channel or coy island homo, and
think they have seen the Thousand
Islands; just as we spend fifteen

Louvre, or st. Peters or the galleries
at Milan. But whoever does that

Omnipotence ever polished to throw

river bed is most luxuriant and beau

now Oh ferns, again on grasses that

aud seen something new every time.
THIS MAGNIFICENT ARCHIPELAGO
of the Thousand Islands stretches
along forty miles on the broad bosom
Of the St. Lawrence River, which
here has an average width of four
or five miles. There are by actual
count 2240 of the Islands, varying
in size from half an acre to nine
milos in length. In many places
they lie so thick that neither main
shore is visible from the middle of
the river, aud in very few places are
both shores in sight at once the
channels winding IN and out be-
tween them most fantastically. Fish.

are caught in immense numbers, and

miles long and two to four miles
wide, or almost AS large as New
York City. At the upper end
large tract hes been erected into
camp meeting ground on the Ocean
Grove plan, and it is called
Thousand Island Park. Here ths
miscrly thrift OF the association has
led thom to impose . eonsemptible
entrance fee Of fifteen cents. At
the foot of tho IslaRd and directly
opposite Alexandria Bay, lies West
minister Park, by far tho best loca-
tion on the Thousand Islands. 1t is
owned by Presbyterian association
and, like Thousand Island Park, e1.
cludes the liquor traffic entirely, has
no billiard or bar.room, and thus en-
sures the absence of certain class
