Hossss-BssutifuI scenery. l.
On Saturday last we took . ride from
70 Baltimore, and back Il
over ths nov D. & P. Railroad, leaving
this city at ~ q. M. This Was the L
q rat trip ws had taken over the nsv
road, and Of course we we're intensely
Interested In all We saw. The road Il
ye. bat In an Incomplete condition,
though one track II laid all the way
through and . second track laid In |
places Large forces Of workmsn are 1
ct work, laying the second track, bal Il
Ia sting she nrst. making tho deep cuts
wider and building station houses. The
widening of the track space through
the deep cats hiss bees rendered neces-
sAry fron ths sandy, slippsry nature Of
the clay. All the way from Whining.
ton to Baltimore the earth stratas are
OF . din rent foundation from rock,
gravel and shell east Of the Brandy
wine. The 6oheutzen Park deep cut.
possibly the deepest west OF the
Brand wine, 10 Of like character with
nearly all the other cuts between Viii
miuRton aud Baltimore, and In more
places than one walls have been erecisd
to prevent the land slides from burying
the ,racks.
IL must bs said Of the company that
| no labor Eor expense 10 spared to make
this one OF the bert fnished roads In
the country In fact, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company never
sliRhn any work nor never puts up
with a mere mAkeshift very long.
nvsry,hina has 70 be done In the best
manner, regardless OF expense. 1t Ia
no doubt srue that there 10 no railroad
company In the country that hiss such
grand, substantial masonry. The piers
and abusmauts OF tbs Sssquehsnns and
Brandy wine bridges are not only modelh
Of good MschaniSn snd strength, but
of beauty also OF design sEd haish, and
the No ~ osry of abutments for public
road bridge or even . COW path under
the railroad are of D like character.
Tho iroa and wooden bridges Are Of the
most approved plans for strength and
bsauty. The bsllasting Of the tracks is
20 oonplese for solidity that train
moves almost clear OF friction and with
sc~rcsly . perosptible motion.
The read whom finished will no doubt
DO popular one. Is passes through .
IdiversiHed country, without mountains,
but alternating with hill and dale. At
this season Of the year, With the oolored
and vAiisEsisd foliage OF autumn deep.
Ienins into the saddef brown shades OF
winter, . ride over the road 10 delight
Ifui, keeping well mp on the highlands;
Iafter leaving White Olay Greek the
IroAd overlooks its great and prosperous
Trivial that stretches itself like couple
Iof silver threads through the moro level
Ioverglsdsn below. At several points
1.-The two great reads come within . few
lrods OF zach other, and for some dis.
(tAnoe run almost side by side. With 9
baltimore and OHIO engine throwing
tout O volume Of smoke that forms In
lloBE racing clouds along the bills, and
La PennsylvspiA engine sending out
long black volume Of smoky clouds set
ttlipg over the 'lowlands, the sight II
certainly striking and impressive.
II We left Wilmington, as we have
slreAdy said, at 8 45 .. u. IL WAS
pleasure TO fud our old friend Deisen
Ion the trEin as conductor. Windin
/; out around the old Wilmington ast
Western circle, the new road was trucl
lat East junction. The ease with whict
the train glided over the new track wRI
lin strong contrast with roads not hal
ballastsd. The Vest uuction reached
. the train rumbled over the foe Iron
bridge that spans Red Clay creek a
Kismsrsi, and stops in front Of the neV
Bsation house under construction. Thi
station will be ore of tLe prettest OF
l the roAd, and with the exception O
Newark, will probably be the more pa
ItroRizod than any other one Ou tho road
The architects who drew the plans 10
Ithose new station houses must hav
reVeled In new ideas. The most ar
lbuilt OF brick laid in black mortar TO
about four feet high or up to the wiz
tdow sil's, and from that up they ar
built of freme boarded and sbiDRled
the shingles being cut Into points q
irounded, making u very pretty nnis
lwhen painted.
They are all provided with ladie,
land gsntlemen's waiting roomr, hck'
tofiices, telegraph Cffices ard baggAg
lrooms, and tho most of them have attic
Ot which arc equivalent so second storie'
In short, II mu nat be said that they lao
n In nothing which conducas to comfoi
land convex ienoa.. This class Of static
houses are only put up At the most In
Z portant stations, while ut the smalls
way stations very pretty, unique littl
c Istation sheds have been erected for th
purpose of temporary protectio
.lmerely from cold In winter and heat
)Cl summer. A shed station is erec,ed 1
IStAston. Unfortuuately for Stsnto
a 1.-The road runs so far In the rear OF tt
town thA, the station 10 ct the crossin
tof the Newark road, q oonsid erable oi
tancs off At Harmony, called afte
Harmony Mills, another small static
v has been erected. Three miles and
half more brings the train to the we
end of Nswark, where, besides WI
e mtnstcn, the best station house west {
tWilmin zton, has been erected. Nsv
ark, In TACT, Is the only town on tf
lroad OF much Importance after loagin
Wilmington.
II About az miles west OF Newark, OF
train suddenly leaves Delaware, rui
O l for about 80 seconds ACROSS a wedi
o point OF Pennsylvania and then pluns'
on into Maryland, having been Ia .hr'
States within a moment Of time. IN

tfor that purpose to thwart piOwlir
pfio oers OF The law by escaping from Oh
