Col. Denan on American scenery

Col. P. Donan, the celebrated newspaper
correspondent, in recent letter had the fol-
Lowing to say about the scenery on the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad
More glorious panoramas of sublimitv and
beauty cannot be found this side of the Rocky
Mountains than those that unroll themselves
to the enchanted tourist at Harper's Ferry
all along the crag-walled windings of Cheat
River, on the Potomac and Monongahela. and
in the romantic valley of the Shenandoah. II
is all historic ground In the old engine house
at Harper's Ferry John Brown began the
mighty four years war-the last it is to be
hoped, this generation of Americans will ever
see. All along the majestic Potomac the hos
tile camp fires blaZed- Washington, the ma
tions capital, was the prize for which a mill
ion embattled men strove through four years
of fire and blood. The whole line through
Maryland and Virginia is dotted with places
whose names have rung throughout the world.
Nearly every station was battlefield, or the
scene OF a skirmish or raid, or some exploit
of herofsm or hardihood that has gone into the
history or the songs Of nation.
'Its Royal Blue trains between Washington
and New York the fastest regular fyers
in America, and are unsurpassed in elegance
in all terrestrial creation They combine every
extravaganza of luXuriousness that can be nut
on wheels, with the speed of the wind and the
safety of standing still. Though the average
running rate is about fifty miles an hour, SO
perfect are all the appointments of tracks,
engines and cars, and so ceaseless the care
and vigilance, that there has never been an
accident in all the years since these paragons
of palatial wheeling began to flash between
the metropolis and the capital They are
Royal trains, indeed, with this exception
that the old world royalty never Travelled in
anything compared with them"
