An Outline View.
We do not altogether approve Of the plan
Of some writer's in making long letters on a
mere trip, or tho country passed through
unless that be their theme. II they have
chosen to write about a certain ci.y, or place
of historic or general interest, when we
read the article containing their narratives
we want them to land us right there, and at
once conduct us around to places where we
may fare sumptuously nt every corner, and
drink deep from-from-we'v forgotten
the "poertry." But we never aim to do like
other people just because other people do
as they do. We like to be wonderfully sim
liar to ourselves, hence 15iH land you right
M6To-at the railroad depot. You must
take the first train for ChOutauqua and
while We are on the way we will get IN eX-
cellent glimpse Of human nature Of all
shades, and be doubly prepared to feast
our eyes on greater wonders and sights next
week, in the classic shades of Chnutauquu.
Shortly after leaving Cincinnati over the
N. Y. p. q o. r. R.-commonly but too
psthetically called the ''Eyp and Oh!"-wo
may think Of the poetic eruptions of some
bard with renewed ufliatus Of railroad life
when he sings
'singing through the forests
Rafting over ridges,
Shooting under arches,
Rumbling over bridges
Whizzing through the mountains
Bu22ing DER the vRle,-
Bless me this is pleasant CD
Riding on the (a) rail.
Men of different ''stations"
In the eyes Of fame
Here are very quickly
Coming TO the same.
High and lOWly people,
Birds Of every feather,
On common level,
Travelling together, etc
Birds of every feather Well, We would
just remark After We have whizzed along
through Hamilton, Dayton and other minol
points of interest wo reach Springfield, the
City Of Conventions What halo already
hovers over and around Springfield Il
was there that ur-tde-ticket was nomi
mated. It was there, too that the "Prohi
bitionists' set up their howl and put Rev
DR.. Leonard on the block-to be guillotined
The man may be good enough and the tenn
perance cause is good enough, but the Pro
hibition cause through q third party organi
zation is utter folly. Beg your pardon
gentle reader, for the variety of our theme
but If we didn't promise a little "hash" il
the beginning, we made an intentiona
mistake. But this time we will leave ou
Prohibition friends where they must be ief
grabbing at straws on q sea with mystic
shores.
After leaving Springfield we notice
change in the field of our observations
Our attention is attracted to a tall, spar
man with a roman nose, and wearing whn
resembles a soldiers cap. Come to find i
out he is a soldier. Above the rim Of hi
cap, printed in red letters on a blue ribboi
we notice the words ''The Salvation Army
This let's usinto the secret. Wesoon motto
several on the train. The women hav
uniform bOnnets with the words 9Th
Salvation Army" arranged in the same man
ner. The men mostly wear some uniform
so that they may be easily identiRed-bu
there is no need Of that mark of distinction
BY this time we have hurried throug
Urbana, Mansfield, Ashland, Creation an
soon on to Akron, Leavettsburg, Ware
and into Pennsylvania at Orangeyille. I
this State we go through a portion Of tn
oil regions, and get a glimpse Of Genevl
Meadyillo, Union City, Cory and 9th,
places of less note These are all ente
prising little cities, all having the best
b railroads and several Of them. (Hnlsbol
, please take notice. Here in some Of thel
places we learn how the run Of oil stanC
for the day and whether il is at par, pr
MUM or discount. Bulletins are kept col

yards seem to be the principle objects

d But now we are in New York State, bouI

in this historic State we met a hero-in al
