Island, where the gallant and la
Imented Hancock breathed his last,
at the same time the great Brooklyn
bridge that rises Ito feet above the
waters, and is the finest piece Of
engineering in the United States,
comes plainly IN sight. New York
City has several hundred thousand
more Inhabitants than are in the en- 4
tire state Of Arkansas, and one can
scarcely get over it with only few
days leisure. But the public build
|ings, Wall Street and Central Park
were all given 4 hurried inspection.
In the latter stands the Obelisk pre-
sented to the government by the
Khedive Of Egypt. 1t was brought
60OO niles across the sea, and at an
expense Of 100000 was placed in
the park. When the old world was
young, centuries ago, it is supposed
to have stood upon the banks Of the
Nile, but the change Of climate has
caused it to crumble. On the steps
of the Treasury department in Wall

the oath as President Of the United
States. Hearing an uproar in the Cot

and in selling futures it was impos-
sible for an outsider to tell the Bulls

York is not complete without trip
up the Hudson, as far as West Point,
at least, where the embryo officers
Of the U. S. Army are now being put
through thorough course of drill
ing. The scenery along the river is
splendid, and some Of the residences
are yeritsble palaces. Coney Island,
Brighton and Manhattan Beach. are
New York's popular summer resorts,
where thousands Of people are land
ed every hour by rail and boat, which
are running all day long These
places are a blessing to the poorer
people who are not able to leave the
city during the heated term.

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, July IS.
After a run of ITO miles by rail /
reached Norfolk, Va, on the after
noon of the second day. Col. +.
Hartman, Supt. M. 4 L. r. road
boarded the train at Forrest City,
and we had pleasant chat to Mem
phls. On changing cars at the lat
ter place the portly form of an old
acquaintance. Capt. Dave Ramsey,
loomed up. He has pulled the bell
cord over the M. u @. r. r., for SO
wears. On nearing Chattanooga the
towering heights Of Lookout noun
tain arose in solemn grandeur upon
our right. Up it's steep and rugged
sides there was fought one OF the
most remarkable battles Of the civil
war, % years ago. The northern
troops, scaled its heights and striking
the confederate line at it's weakest
point, drove them from their position,
which was one Of the most daring
feats of the war.
In passing Greenville, Tenn, on
hill overlooking the town, can be
seen a monument on its crest that
marks the spot where lies the re-
mains of Andrew johnson. The
history of this remarkable man
should be read by every poor boy In
the land, to learn what energy and
pluck may accomplish. On arriving
at Appon1a.tox / was reminded that
it was here that the Confederacy re-
ceived It's mortal blow, when Gen.
Lee gave up his sword to Gen. Grant.
The location of this memorable event
is about two mites from the station.
Norfolk, Va, is place Of consider
able commercial impoi lance. 1t
boasts OF one of the best harbors in
the United States, and during the
past season 560,000 bales of cotton
were handled atits wharves. Among
the curiosities pointed out TO
strangers is ST. Pauls Episcopal
church, which carries cannon ball
that was was embedded in It's side
by a shot fired by the British in
1912.
Leaving Norfolk on the steamer
Roanoke, of the old Dominion Line,
| arrived here after pleasant yoy-
age OF "a hours, and for the first time
was out of sight of the United States.
1t was so cool out at sea that over
coats and wraps were in demand. In
steaming down the river from Nor
folk, we passed through the waters
where "a years ago the Confederate
monitor Merrimack, sank two Of the
largest United States men Of war,
and drove of the entire fleet, and it
was here she subsequently encoun
tered The Federal Iron monitor AS
we steam past Old Point and Fort
ross Monroe, the lights CLEAN like
stars set in midnight sky.
Our course the next day lay close
along the Jersey shore, and Atlantic
City, Asbury Park, Ocean View and
Long Branch were all plainly in
sight. One does not have TO enter
New York to see the elephant IL
the trip is made By sea, for he Is
visible to the naked eye when ten
miles out at sea. Hc stands on
Omley Island, about six stories
high fscing the sea. A ilne view Of
