"Lows LAND.” l have found Lotus Land at last the land of dreamy forgctl'nlncss of all the toil and turmoil and multi plied cares of the great hustling world, between whose shores we float and sing, fish and sleep amid the wondrous beauties of this vast urehipelago. “'0 forget, among these island-i, the fretting incidents, the crushing burdens of yesterday; faintly the thought comes tons as we write, perched on a jutting rock, ut whose foot the green St. Law rence waters gently break. thnt once we knew other men and other scenes «almost we have to pinch ourselves to realize that loved ones are wait ing our return, husiness that soon will be crying for our care, vulgar dollars and cents to he counted—or scrambled for. Every day is a sepa rate age; every moment is full of ' calm, delicious restfulnees; every scene brings new and varied beauties to our delighted eyes, and every one of you, dear readers, will accuse of hyperbole every narrator of the sim ple truth concerning these islands until you have been here and seen and felt for yourselves. Many tourists rush through in true American style on a big steamer, drop the morning paper or latest novel just long enough to glance over the rail off at a pretty vista of channel or a cozy island horns, and think they have seen the Thousand Islands; just as we spend fifteen mortal minutes in “doing” the Louvre, or St. Peter's or the galleries at Milan. But whoever does that here tramplcs under giddy (if not swine's) foot the richest pearls which Omnipotence ever polished to throw at the feet of man. [confess to a disappointment in my first view from the deck of the mail steamer from Clayton. She rushed along the main channel past points and coves and Islands, large and small, but too distant to display their wild and varied beauty. A cold storm was conning on andl stooduhivering in an overcoat and cross-logged to keep my knees warm at noon, while the noon before I had trod the hot pavements of \Vall ltreet mopping my reciting brows under a dog day sky !

SI‘IP'H‘IMBER 25. 187%). wwt aaninm beneath your keel, wlmrv, four, six, eight feet down Hil‘ullgll the green sparkling river is such an underwater garden as your “link“! lam-y never dared to picture 1111 Gail's l‘nuilstnnl. The llom 0f the I'iw-r lml is most luxuriant and bean nml; now you look down upon mnswstul'a hundred rich varieties, mm un ferns, again on grasses that like coral. and then on tall waving wndo that reach up almost to the water‘s amine: and nod a. welcome to your nar~blade just above their lit-eds. Among these lovely gardens roam countless fish. and in the high weeds hides the swift pickerel wait ingtlic approach of tinier fish at whom he darts and makes a break fast at one snap of his wide jaws. The diversity of scenery under wa ter is only equalled by thnt of the islands themselves. “'e have been out "very day for nearly two weeks and seen something new every time. Tms IAGNIFICENT ARCUII‘ELAGO ol' the Thousand Islands stretches along forty miles on the broad bosom of the fit. Lawrence River, which here has an average width of four or live miles. There are by actual count 2240 of the Islands, varying in size from half an acre to nine miles in length. In many places they lie so thick that neither mam slioreia visible from the middle of the river, and in very few places are both shores in sight at once; the channels winding in and out be tween thee: :noet fantastically. Fish ing is good and ebundent. Pickers] are caught in immense numbers, and grace your table fresh from the river every day. Wellesly Island is nine miles long and two to four miles wide, or almost as large as New York City. At the upper end a large tract hes been erected into a camp meeting gron'nd on the Ocean Grove plan, and it is called Thousand island Park. Here the miserly thrift of the association has led them to impoae e contemptible entrance fee of fifteen eents. At the foot of the Island and directly opposite Alexandria Bay, lies Weat minster Park, by far the best loca tion on the Thousand Islands. It is owned by a Presbyterian association and, like Thousand island Park, ex eludes the liquor trailic entirely, has no billiard or bar-room, and thus en sures the absence of a certain class whom quiet souls love to lteap at a respectful distance. Here isa good Hotel—the Park Hmme~~kept by a courteous, kind host, Mr. R. F. Steele, where you can get board for ten dollars a weak and be under the watchful eye of Kellogg. “Who’s Kellogg? " Kellogg is a nut awe—e phe nomenon in the hotel world— a be ing in daily danger of being cap tured by Barnum, for Kellogg is a courteous hotel clerk, and this I say with a full sense of my responsibility in society for a proper use of English terms. Come in with a cracked knee a wet jacket or an aching head; wake up in the night dreaming that you want some thing or anything from a postage stamp to a rare beef -ink, and there stands the smiling ...il übiquitous Kellogg, whose intu un has anticipate-l every want and paired him the man in the gap wry time. Westminster l'srk can be reached my heat from Cape Vincent :or Clay tun to'Alesandrxe llay, and thence by ferry. It is laid out for an ex:cn« ure Park and many cottages are al- ready erected. It is only in its second year and growing rapidly. A LAKE wx'rmN A RIVER. and an island are indeed curious freaks of Mother Nature, but such a phenomenon exists close to “'est minster Park, where you enter by a narrow channel, girt by high cliffs, into the “Lake of the Islend,”n love ly shoot of water some three miles long and nearly a mile wide, in which are a number of little islands; while both shores of the lake have densely wooded hills, interspersed at long intervals with scrnbby little farms. The Horn. of the bed of this lake is lovely beyond description, and is in plain view below your boat over almost its entire length, so that you are actually sailing upon a mag nificent aquarium of miles in extent, whose bed has rarer and more luxu riant combinations of beauty than any ever constructed by the hand of man. Think of such a sight l Breethes there a man with soul so dead that it would not burst into on thusiasm over such an experience ?

MORLEY. OUR WASHINGTON lET'I'ER. Wasnmoron D. 0.. Sept. 5, 1379. New York Republicans, by their excellent platform and ticket, and by the unanimity with which both were endorsed, and still more by the hearty support which is in all parts of the States promised on election day, have done nobly. They will succeed this Fall, and that is best guarantee of success a year later. Democratic papers here speak of dis satisfaction among Administration Republicans at the nomination of Cornell. This is nonsense. Such Republicans would perhaps have been better pleased with another can didate, but I have not found one of them—and I have searched—who will not do all he can for the ticked. The few planters and other prop erty owners of Louisiana who control the political affairs of that State, have already begun to advance the disas terous effects of the late storm as a reason or excuse for not voting the tax necessary for the payment of the interest on the debt of the State. The storm is expected to have con siderable effect on the coming elec tions. The losses by it have been very great, probably exceeding 810,- 000;000, but the people of Louisiana would do well to consider whether a re-establishel credit would not be of morse service to them under just such circumstances, than any tunpor ary advantage tlioy might gain by a. refusal to vote the necessary tax.
