 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Let us make the start from New York city. This decided, the ways and means are vari- ous yet of all none are more agreeable than by the Albany day steamers. Every morning one of the excellent boats of this line may be found at her pier, the occasional revolu- tions of her paddlewheels and the noisy sheep's tail of steam indicating her inpatience to be off To the obseryant looker-on the throng that hurriedly bustles across the gang plank opens up field of study which will surely prove a futile one. Then with one long protracted scream of the whistle the steamer leaves her dock, moving majestically away as if proud of her power, strength and beauty. Her human freight is various as can be imagined. Every age and condition go to make it up, and all seem happy in the excitement of the bright surroundings. D1- rectly the city is left astern we find on the one hand the massive bulwarks of old Hud- sons western shore-the Palisades while on the other nature, with what art has done to help her, keeps our eyes busy in admir- ing the landscape and its villa deco rations, while those whose information will permit find, every now and then, land marks of our countrys early history that call to mind the many stirring events of the revolutionary struggle with the despotic mother country. Near the river's banks it was that Andre was captured by trio of Americans, the descendants of one of whom, PauIdine, still make their home near the spot
