Chicago, May 17.—If some of the Arneri.
cans who annually or semi occasionally go tc
Europe in search of something to see would
take a trip over 6ome of these northwestern
roads, they would see more that is romantic,
picturesque, suhlima and beautiful than
many of them ever see in an entire Euroiieau
tour. It is a journey through a new world
fairyland, a fly through a realm of romance,
a. whirling, endless feast to eye, heart and
imagination.
A palace car flight of eighty-live miles
from Chicago along the shores of Lake Mich
igan, through a pastoral Eden of verdant
fields and meadows, f ruit or blossom lader
orchards, vineyards, gardens and shadj
groves dotted thick with lovely rural houses:
through pretty suburban towns and througt
flourishing cities, carries one to Milwaukee,
tho rich and prosperous metropolis of Wiscon-
sin, one of tb ■ handsomest cities in the Union,
with splendid public buildings, iinmehM
mills and factories, the biggest breweries ir
the world, elegant residences, enchanting
drives and George Peck. A run of thirtj
miles farther, past ttie stately soldiers' home,
with its superb buildings, its flower garden
and its winding walks and tJi-ivcs; |«ist nu-
merous t iny lakes and foliage embowered vil-
lages, and Wuuke.iha is reached. Unknown
ten years ago, its fountains of healing waten
have made it famous throughout the world
Only a half hour's run away is Oeonomo
woe, witli its twenty seven lakes in oni
silvery chain, its gay hotels, its yachts and
troops of summer saunterers. Forty milei
further we twai'd lies Hock lake, one of tin
loveliest little lacustrine gems U[ioii the globe,
ten miles round, hemmed in by forests, iti
surface dotted with water lilies and its crystal
depths alive with black liass, perch, pike,
pickerel. and muskiillongc. Another liour'i
spin through a perpetual series of views as bo
witching as ever graced u painter's canvas,
Madison, the capital of Wisconsin, "the
Venice of America," is reached. Standing
011 a high point of land surrounded by e
cluster of glorious lakes, nearly every street
ends in boat houses and bath houses, ltl
lights at night are reflected far across thf
liquid mirror*, and the plash of oat's and
boatmen's songs recall all the dreamiest mem-
ories of t'.iat fair city whose streets are rip
pliiig waters and ivhose coaches are gondolas

CAWIOt. AT MADISON.
Tho capital is a sujierb building, mwleled
Boiiiowhnt after the huge white domed gath-
ering place of tho nation's legislators at
Washington, ami many of the residences art
exceedingly handsome. Here is tlio home ol
Gen. Lucius J. Fairchild, a one armed bore
of Gettysburg, ex-minister to Spain, and now
commander in chief of the Grand Array ol
tho Republic; and hero dwells Governoi
Jere Ilusk, whose summary stamping out ol
the rioters in Milwaukee last year won bin
renomination and re-election almost by ac-
clamation. Just across Mouona lake is Ton-
ya-wa-tha, as enchanting a spot ui
summer tourist's eye ever rested on—«
vista of bhto waters with white crested
waves, green sloping banks, and a spacioui
hotel and tasteful cottages embowered ii
tho shades of the mighty "forest primeval,'
eail boats and row boats darting in ever)
direction, titljr steamers j ufilng to and fr<
with their loads of excursionists, fishing par-
ties coming in laden with iluiqurophies and
big yarns, und the inevitable spoony couplci
drifting in their egg shell barks, with botli
heads under one parasol, or both hands pluck-
iug the same water lily. It is a paradisaic
ioene when the streets of tlio great cities east
and south aro smoking with dog days heat.
Here, 011 these beautiful shores, tho "Monona
Lake assembly," or western Chautauqua,
meets annually to discuss iu iiouderoui
phrases "The Wheneeness of the What" and
"The Wherefore of tho Why," and tens ol
thousands gather to 6ee and bear it done.
Bayard Taylor, Horace Greeley and othei
illustrious writers havo paid glorious tribute!
to tho iioetic lieauty of Madison; and' it wa<
of her that Longfellow tsang:
"Four limpid lakes! four naiads,
Or sylvan ilietle*, are there,
In flowing robes of azure dressed;
Four lovely handmaids that uphold
Their shlniajt mirrors, rimmed with gold,
To the fair city in the west."
One hour further toward the setting sun
and tho weird, wild beauties of Devil's lake
burst into view. A lako blue as tho sapphire

On, ffito miles, through tho castled and pil-
larwl -rocks of liar boo and the great pineriee
of Black river and the Uau Cluii-e, past the
picturesque Black Rivor falls and tho dells oi
the St. Croix into St. Paul, one of the muni-
cipal wonders of the world. A11 Indian
trading post twenty-five years ago, a small
frontier town fifteen years ago, a place ol
4o,tX).l people in 1SS0. To-day a rushing city
'of over l*>0,001) inhabitants, with public, mid
private building* that compare not unfavor-
ably with those of Chicago or New York.
Over ""ill passenger trains daily come in and
go out of its Union depot. Ono of it? daily
pajiers, TheCJIobo, has a ten story office, with
a tower that would overtop tho famous one
of The New York Tribune; and every busi-
ness is pushed 011 a metropolitan scale.
Five miles above is Fort Snclling, the nwsl
picturesque post owned by the United States
government, and two miles above the fori
are the Falls of Minnehaha, famed in Indian
legend and i:t poetry as the scene of Hia-
watha's wooing.
Four miles above the "Laughing Waters" is
Minneapolis, tho twin sister of St. Paul, and
forming with it .the Du d (ity of the Ureal
Northwest. Each ha* spread out until tlieii
street lamps meet at night, and they are
practically una city, but, they liato each
other with n hatred that makes the devil's
animosity to holy water seeiii the tender est
affection, IVhell the war closed, Minneapo-
lis was little more than a loggers'and rafts-
men's camp at, St. Anthony's Falls, It was
incorporated as a town in I$ii7, Iu ISi'rt it
had about 15,000 iiiliabitanis, and iu 1880 il
bad reached '13,00!). To-day it has upward oi
WO.IJtM and is rapidly rushing toward DUO,-
OOi). It has the largest flouring mills in the
Will-Ill, one of them being able to turn out
0,",(M barrels of flour a day, or enough to load
three freight train* of twenty cars each.
Many of its public and private edifices arc ai
handsome as any in the Union; and its jieopit
are misurpa-sed iu energy, enterprise, hos-
pitality and cheek.
About fifteen miles, or a half hour's run,
from here is Luke Minnetonka, which has, in
six oi- eight years, spi ling from a more flther-
men's haunt into national if not world wide
note as a place: of fashionable resort. The
lake is eighteen miles long, and in tho widest
place about live miles across, but it is so ir-
regular in shape that its shore lino .measures
over 2")0 miles. Its waters are bo clear that
tho pebbles on the bottom can bo seen at a
depth of ten or twelve feet, and it is literally
alifo with game fish. Its bosom Is as blue as
the Caribbean sea, and it is dotted with green
islands and promontories. Its shores are lined
with 'magnificent hotels and summer resi-
dences. With its mirrorlike waters, its peb-
bly drives and strolls, ils grand forests of
long armed oaks and elms and silver birches,
its Hue hotels and cottages, and ils deliriously
cool and bracing air, it is 110 wonder the
fashiouable world of .winner pleasure• eekert
have fought it out and revel in its loveliness.
Several superb steamers ply upon its waters,
ono of them being largo enough 10 carry
1,800 pass -tigers. Gayly painted yachts, with
pennons Hying, skim across its rippling sur-
face, Countless littleegg shell rowlioals dart
hither and thither, bearing their joyous
freightage of gallant youths and lovely maid-
ens to gather water lilies or lure the gamy
bass and pickerel from their liquid haunts,
Carnages and lighter phaetons spin uloiig t ho
shady roads upon tho shores. Tho witching
strains of orchestral music aro wafted over
the waters at eveiiingtide, mingled with the
sweep of silken trails nud the patter of dainty
feet, "keeping time, time, time, In a sort of
Runic rhyme," to the throbbing of merry
hearts aui1 tlio tuneful melody of mirthful
lips. It i< a vista of enchanted land.

Many of these soldiers had on shoes with

BAKU'S FOUNTAINS
THE PERSIAN RIVAL OF PENNSYL-
VANIA'S PETROLEUM FIELDS.
A Great Town ltuilt Upon the Spot Here-
tofore Held Sacred by tlio Fire U'or-
ahiping Gliebrcn—Tvelro Thousand
Square Mile* of Oil lte(lon.
Tho great town of Baku has now a
coast line of about six miles, sweeping
around is well protected harbor crowded
with shipping—ships of all tonnage, all
fitted with tanks to store tho oil that
pours from a hundred f tun tains. From
time immemorial this spot lias been
deemed sacred by the Ohebrcs of Persia,
who recognize in the tlame of the native
naphtha a sacred fire symbol. Hero for at
least 3,000 years the sacred earth fed flame
has burned unceasingly, and the temple
of Stirukhanl has been a center of rever-
ent pilgrimage. This native naphtha llows
from tho soil iu so pure a form as to burn
without rectification, r.ml is, indeed, no in-
flammable that the naphtha gas occas-
ionally ignites spontaneously and ploys
in pale (lames above fissure* in the rock.
On stormy nights these ilan.es have been
seen (o lilazo up with an awful spirit
light, which, lei the eyes of the Ghebree,
invested tho spot, with special sanctity—a
sanctity intensified by the fact that here,!
according to Arabian chroniclers, a great
volcanic mountain was in full action till
GOO years ago. Since then the thermal
forces have expended their energies on
spouting oil and therewith saturating the
desert plain of the Aspheros peninsula;,
and truly a more repulsive site for a great1
city could not well bo found.
It is a plain nbout fifteen miles in width
nnd projecting thirty r.iilcs into the Cas
piau from tho point where tho Caucasus
terminates on its shores. Tho whole sur-
fcc? of the ground is black with waste
petroleum, whlclv in cold weather hardens
to the consistency of asphalt, whereas be-
neath the blaainf midsummer sun the
foot sinks in to the depth of twoor three
inches, livery breath of wind raises
blinding clouds ol black, bituminous duat,
fanned by tho coarse black naphtha with
which tho streets are periodically "wa-
tered," true water being too precious to
bo thus wasted. This dust, combined
with the dense smoke poured from the
chimneys of somewhere about 300 refin-
in;; factories, does nothing to Improve the
atmosphere. And here, day and night',
the oil fountains pour forth their hideous
black streams. They yield an average of
from i"i to in* per- cent, of pure otl, and
fror.i CO to o0 per cent, of refuse, which
makes excellent fuel for the great, fleets
of oil steamers and locomotives. The
supply may well lie deemed inexhaustible,
inasmuch r.s V',000 square miles in this
region are found to be olelferous, and ol
this vast surface only six miles have as
yet been developed. The oil beurlng
lilratum extends beneath tho Caspian,
where it crops up In Tehellkan, a truo Isle
of oil. Here the oil literally streams Into
tho sea from hills and cliffs, which may be
said to I c formed of ozokerite—In other
words, of crude parnflinc. On tho eastern
shore of t lie Caspian it reappears at various
points, an, for instance, at tho Xeft 01
Naphtha hill, Where the deposits aro of-
ficially valued at £85,000,000.
THE FtltE GIANT'S St'OItT.
Now, tho lire giant who tends tho great
laboratory beneath the Caspian seems to
emulate the example of bis brethren in
New Zealand and Tonga. Hitherto fee has
been satisfied with such sport as turning
011 such an oil stream as that which gushed
forth three years ago from oue of the
Baku springs, spouting with such force as
to break to pieces a tlireo inch cast iron
pipe which had been fastened over I lie
well ill order to divert the (low to a dif-
ferent. direction. A neighboring oil spring,
011 being tapped, threw up a column ol
petroleum to twlco the height of the
Great Geyser in Iceland, forming a huge
black fountain 300 feet I11 height—a foun-
tain, however, attributed solely to tho re-
jnoval of the pressure 011 the confined gas,
oil there in no perceptible liont in tiicso
gcyscra. It was visible for many miles
around, anil on the first day it poured
forth about ".0,000 barrels, and, with
gradually diminishing volume, continued
to piny for five months, when it finally
subsided, leaving its unfortunate owners
(an Armenian company) well nigh ruined
by tiie claims brought against it by neigh-
bors whoso lands were destroyed by the
oil flood.
On the night of the 1/ith of January
the inhabitants of Baku were awakened
by a violent shock, which caused ull tho
windows to rattle, arid suddenly the dark-
tie,a of the night was Illuminated by an
intense light,'as though the city were
all.iinc. It proved, however, to bo the
reflection on the heavens of a great (Ire
at a distance; but no ono dreamt that its
locality ley within tho earth. Nor was
this realized till the following night, when
the same awful glare becamo visible; und
shortly before midnight a terrible explo-
sion was heard, followed by u vast column
of flume, apparently U30 feet In height,
which shot up from the summit of Lok
Baton, close to the l'onta rullway station.
It was a calm night, with scarcely a
breath of wind, so the flames continued
to ascend quite vertlcolly, carrying largo
masses of dark matter, which fell back
into the crater. Considerable heat was
'.'clt at. tho distance of fully a mile, anil
the whole country was lighted by a glaro
brighter than that of tho sua at noonday.
This lasted for about thirty hours, but
not continuously, the column occasionally
subsiding. Tlio volume of liquid mud
ejected in this period overspread a tract
of about a square mile to a depth varying
from seven to fourteen feet.—New York

Ktoainlioat Life In IMS.
My first venture In steamboat life was
in I ' M, nnil then I thought It was a very
ri .kyone. The first boat I owned was a
Utile ' termvheolc:-, tho I.ucilla, the first St.
Lo.ii i end Alton daily packct. At that
time Alton had but ono street running
back from the river bauk. Close to the
beat landing I bad a little store with nil
my little fortuno invested. Shortly after
1 had opened out, along camo a minister
who owned tlio Lncilla. Ho was dis-
couraged with hifl efforts at stcnmljoatlng,
and wanted mo to tnko (lie boat off tils
hands. Ono thousand dollars was tho fig-
ure: $800 cash and the balance in two or
three months. I finally agreed on £."i00
cash and the balance on time. How was
I to get the money? It was as difficult of
solution as the Interstate commerce puz
zle. But I got It. I went around to the
business men of Alton, borrowed $S.>
from this otic and ftfC from another, trail
not one of there kn«w that I had bor-
rowed from tho other. Ui about two
hours I had the $300 together, closed tho

""What ,1 rendezvous for All Ilaba and
tho Forty Jhfcvcsl" was the exclamation
ef Charles' Dudley Warner one day last
year as w» halted before a booth for the
sale of summer drinks, in which stood
perhaps half a dozen tali red jars correct
in shape and smoothly polished, in either
of which the two cf us could have been
bestowed without crowding. And, by
the way, those same refreshment stands
arc quite an institution, and it is my con-
viction that, the establishment of similar
ones would prove n profitable Investment
in the large cities of the United States.
Here they are usually ranged around the
plaza, and they consist of a squuro or
oblong space, roofed in with boards or
canvas, and gayly decorated with Hags,
etc. Within they, contain small tables
and chairs, and tr.e aforesaid ollas, large
and small, which contain the aquas fres-
cos, or cooling waters, while, at one side
are huddled the women engaged lit their
preparation.
At these stands are sold not spirituous
liquors, but lemonade, orangeade, drmks
prepared from banana, pineapple and
other tropical fruits, including ono very
peculiar family ef several varieties, whicl
is of orchidaceous growth, orgeats, chis,
chicha nud divers other of similar nature.
Tho horehata, or or;wit, is made from
muskmeloii ; reds. These are always care-
fully saved when tho fruit is enter,
cleansed, dried and, when tho occasion
arrives, ground on the nictate stone at the
booths us aforesaid; then, with the addi-
tion of sugar, etc., it becomes a .nost
palatable potion. Chia is a small gray seed,
hardly larger than a mustard seed, which,
on being slightly covered with water, dis-
charges a mueilii'dniiiis substance, which,
oddly enou.-h, is not produced to the same
extent if tin quantity of water be
large. When the jelly like consistency is
reached more water is added, with sugar
and any flavor desired.
When Dr. Bryant used 10 bo surgeon
on one of I he I'acille Mail company's
steamers he occasionally took up a packet,
of chia to a getiHemau now well known
socially and politically in California, and
this personage, lately wishing to obtain
that beverage again after the lapse of
years, described it. to his interlocutor as
"that drink that the Mexicans make of
little seeds, you k low—that is like a slip-
pery elm poultice." Such a comparison
would hardly recommend the chia, which
is really delicious. Chicha is made from
corn, arrived at a certain stage of fermen-
tation,: and the juice of pineapple. In ad-
dition to their I'lHiliug properties all theso
beverages have elements of nutrition.—

Let us take a few facts; When travel-
ing in India he was surrounded with
social customs, to disregard which re
quired the strongest, will and tlio firmest
purpose. Net a fee.- foreign vqsidents in
the east are hard drinkers. There wera
not hours enough in tint day for Grant to
accept the invitations ho received, To lie
courteous ho not infrcqucui ly accepted In-
vitations to half a lioze'ntillins on tho
same day. at, each ono of ...which ho would
remain a few moments, until the last oue
had been readied. At all these gather-
ings wines ami liquors were freely used,
lie became so thoroughly disgusted with
the custom thai piidiiti return to his hotel
he said to his wife: "Julia, I do not in-
tend to take aunt her ghuu of wine In
please anybody.-' That wan in 1818,.and
from tlint time 'forward to Mount, Mc-
Gregor hia tempera nco habits tvere above
suspicion.
From Calcutta lie went to Burnish.
The reception committee furnished large
baskets ef champagnes and liquors. These
were subject to Grant'o orderu. To the
disappointment and disgust of tho com-
mittee t he baskets were not opened. Sur-
prise was expressed; but Grant simply
said: "(icnliemen, I do not wish anything
to drink," and liio baskets were returned
unopened toCaleutta, I received accounts
of this incident iri>m (leu. "Litchfield, late
consul general to India, and from Mrs.
