. Louie and l visited our old countr
home in Perry County, spent an hou
with friends in New Lexington en-
made a flying visit to St Aloysiu
Academy,
1t is our good fortune, Louie and
to be printer girls and post Office clerk
working for the Democratic party il
the Sentinel Office on Saturday and 70
Uncle Sam, at times after school, in th
post Office.
RAILROAD PETS.
Mr.. Fisher of our railroad and Mr.
Wilkinson of the Perry County road
who are both good friends of the print
er girls, invited us both with passes t.
make the trip over their roads, and fo
this kindness we here and now, THANH
them both.
An EXCUSE For HIM.
AS We had never travelled very fal
by ourselves before, we coaxed our pa
pa to come along, just to take care o
our umbrellas.
SIGHTS IN LANCASTER.
We had a couple of hours in Lam
caster, before our train for Perry Coun
ty came through, and spent the time
very pleasantly. Mr. Schultz came up
and said he knew We were farme,
maids, and began to tell us how tc
corn and onions, and the best time to
weed the garden. Cap. Blair wanted
to show us q church, but We told him
We lived in Logan where churches were
not curiosities. Judge Slough crossed
the street to tell us that he was coming
to Logan soon, not to hold court
because Judge Huffman was doing
that we'll enough, but just to show US
that he had learned a new trick in
Euchre, and thought he could get at
least one game in an evening. Mr..
Kelly, Editor Of the Eagle, proposed
getting carriage and giving US a
drive through the city, but we were
panied to decline for fear We might for
get the time and miss the train.
CRITICISM AND CORRECT CONCLUSION.
We looked in at the Post Office,
which is cramped updark dingy place,
not half as large and handy, nor near
as light and clean as ours. We have
notion the clerks are all boys.
OLD LANDMARKS.
In our walk we passed the old home
houses Of Gen. Sherman and Gen.
Ewing. They are big and square and
old fashioned. "Broad shouldered"
papa said, "like the men who built
them and lived in them" The Court
House is on a hill. 1t don't look like
ever saw. 1t has. no col.
umns, and no steeple and appears to
settled down part way in the ground
It is not near so handsome as our own
Court House. Near the Court House
is grave yard in which the trees are
as large as in the woods. We saw on
some of the tomb stones the names of
Crider, Smith, Patterson, Carpenter,
people who had died hundred years
ago.
SoUR GRAPES.
On our way from the hill down to
The depot, We came to the yard of
big school house, the gate to the yard
was locked. There wasn't anything
nice to see in the yard nor the old
'chool house any way. We have
pretty grounds around our school house,
md We don't have to fence it in either.
The Logan COWS are pastured in the
HINTING FOR ANOTHER Pass.
Our train for New Lexington was
N time. Our car was the prettiest 1
.ver travelled in, and was SO bright and
lean that I think it is just new. The
eats we're wide and soft, and covered
With plush; the windows wide and clean
nd easy to open: the wood work was
ak finish, smoth and glossy: the car
Tas long and seemed to glide instead
f roll on the track. There was no rattle
or jolt and I felt as comfortable as in
be big rocking chair. The train went
fast that we got to our journeys end
efore expected. I sat in the last /
,at, and looked back. The track does
OF wind around bends in the stream t
I'D around points Of hills and big rocks !
ke our road, but is a straight line, :
i'd can be seen, looking back, until
9th rails come together. i

The first person to meet US in New !,
exington was Mr.. Cullinan, and Mr.. Z
eloy, Editors of the Herald. They o
'th took great pains to show ms the
ourt House which is certainly a very "
le building. Papa said the reason the d
oprietors had such an interest in the
,ust House is because "the principle
iitor has his Office there. Sheriff G.
