FROM VIRGINIA TO BLUE CANYON.
The party left Virginia, New, at A. NJ.
Wednesday. At 9 o'clock, at Carson, they
were welcomed by Governor Kinkead. At
10 A. NJ, accompanied by Governor Kinkead,
Messrs. Warrington and Bliss, the party, in
coaches, rode to the Summit and took the
Truckee narrow-gauge railroad to Glenbrook.
A fat car was provided for the party, and
was carpeted and furnished with complete
set of parlor furniture, making of it an OBSERVE
ton car. At Glenbrook they took the steamer
Meteor and made circuit of the lake, reach
ing Tahoe City, where coaches took up the
party and conveyed it to Truckee, which
was reached at P. NJ. A large crowd assem-
bled and cheered the President and General
Sherman, who were introduced and shook
hands with many, and brief speeches were
made. At Tunnel No. Superintendent Pratt
stopped the train, and the party alighted to
view Bonner Lake, with which they were
greatly delighted. All the members of the
party express especial pleasure and wonder
at the glorious view of Lake Tahoe from a
lofty point on the narrow-gauge railroad, and
say it is not surpassed in the United States
in grandeur and natural beauty Some of
the party named the spot Inspiration Point.
General Sherman is equally glowing in the
expressions of his pleasure as President
Hayes, and Mrs. Hayes is even warmer in
manifestations of her delight with the
scenery about Lakes Tahoe and Donner.
At one point between Truckee and Tahoe
sheet of clear, sparkling water bursting from
a fume excited her so that she had the coach
stopped to drink from it. No cup could be
found in the coaches, but Mrs. Hayes found
the horse bucket, washed it out clean, and
filing it, drank, as did all the rest of the
party, amidst much merriment. The process
Of shooting logs down the y fumes beyond
Glenbrook was source of great interest to
al the party.
AS to the mines of the Comstock, all agree
hat they got as deep into the bowels of the
Earth as they desire to, and that the visit |
,epaid for the trip. The President and Gen
'ral Sherman say the people everywhere re-
;eived them with simple cordially and |
genuine feeling that has been gratifying and /
thoroughly American.
THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF
I r. I. Al

enance, a clear and speaking eye, well bal
need head, broad at the frontal aud high.
His countenauce at once gives welcome
md his manner places the most bashful at
perfect ease. He has not particle of afecta-
ion, but simplicity and cordially of manner
md expression mark every movement and
word. He seems to take special pains to
'blige all. General Sherman is hearty, witty,
md more free in manner, it amounting almost
o jollity tonight, when he greeted some old |
riends
