The Hospitality of the North.
NEW YORK CITY.l
Aug. %, 1891.
LIAURENs ADyERTIsER:
You last heard from me when
in the midst of the lakes and
woods of Pennsylvania, camping.
This will reach you from the
great city which lies directly be-
tween two others-Brooklyn on
the East side and Jersey on the
West. The magnificent bridge
that spans the East river carries
you to Brooklyn, and the vast tun-
mel In course of construction under
the Hudson a mile in length (more
than) will shortly connect the city
on the West side of the river. Each
Of these suburban cities is much
larger than Charleston. Not to
mention the half dozen other
cities and large towns within a RAJ
dius of twenty miles; the center
where 1 write this and the vast
population here gathered. And l
must add that it Is not the life and
hustle Of the great town that over
awcs me but the feeling of loneli-
ness with the million of strange
faces.
There are perhaps fewer in the
city now than at any other period
of the year:-yet no one, would
perceive it looking into the
thronged streets. Probably there
arc 100000 people away in the
country or in foreign countries.
In about u week the return will
begin when the home corners will
begin to tax railways and steamers
to their utmost capacity. am to

the South-Laurens. 1 shall prob

since I left home-but the labors
were quite unlike those expended
in tho "China Palace"-and withal
1 am feeling rested and physically
improved as you will e on my re-
turn.
Unjust have been very fortunate
in the choice Of time for my visit,
and spot selected. Almost every
day there have been outing parties,
excursions, picnics, etc., and the
weather very fine. And here
where three states conjoin and

Milligan to stop with him and Of
ford him an opportunity to show
me the City of B%rotherly Love--of
which l learn he is very proud
being his birth place and home.
at Baltimore I shall halt to buy
goods and in Washington to visit
friends-and then speed directly
home and place myself in harness
for business in the store where my
friends have generally found me
think.
1t is of little use to attempt to
tell people Of the North in this
way. The thing to do is to visit it
and look on a few things which dis
tinguish--(not so much the people)
as the methods and system OF
work, regard for time, etc. In this

stated that several million bushels
OF grain would be needed to supply
the foreign demand.

in this wilderness of brick and
