[Cor. N. Y. World.]
The train, for a: few uminutes after leav
ing the folleodo station, skirts the line
of the ocean. Nothing can be nsmorU strik
ing or interesting than the aspect of tlhese
few miles of sea-shore. They are full of
the traces, and of the recent traces, both
of volcanic antd of ma11:rille convulsionls.
What was a smiling andt fertile pasture
plain before the (rea':lful eartlhqunake and
tidal-wave of 18:6 is no1w a: vast expa:nse
of soea-beach, deep in variously-tinted
sandtls, white, ho~wvor, plredtlollinatilg.
and relived only here ;and there by small
patches ofa newly-grown, scrubby nmarine
grass, or by the most extraordinary frag- I
meats of rock. This rock, masses of which
cut in many places for the passage of the
road, line the inland side of the track, is
a sort of pudding-stone, of a rich, dark
reddish brown color Its remIllns rise Ihero
and there oil the seaward side in detached
piles liko boulders. sotmetimes thirty or
forty foot ill height antd its lnuty in length.
Some of those piles litl oevidently boon
riven down the centre by an oarthquake
shock ; others were worn and torn on the
edges by the sea until they resemobled the
fantastic ruins of atcient towers. After
we turned from the sea-side atd began to
clilmb inland up a throee per cent. grado
the landscape rapidly changed. One af
ter another we passed tlhe oases of tlhe
Ensoneda ..' d of I'ambo, groeen with the
clear Beryl-green of the slug:lr-cateo ,and
witlh the hieavier, darker ntasses of the
plaintain atit the banat':t. Qua:t)ities of
sugar-canes and of fruits of vatrious kilnds
--orattges, batnallas, paltas, andtithe like-
wore olFered for sale at tlto sattioils. The
people wore decen t-looking and appar
ently not eroprosporus. Some of their I
tlouist within sight of tie statioets . era
really neat and pretty, with gordet patchl
as, a rare speetctele io those regions, in
front of thloen, and the wholo look of the
region contrasted wonderfully with the
sandy wasteo of tihe shoresor :und the larrtIt
r acks of Mollondo. Sevcral great p:atchles
of a brilliantlt scarlet color, which I took I
flirst to be patohes Of geruliunmtt or of the
voerbona, which so often grows lxnariant
ly wild in South America, but whlichl
proved to be "nhli," tlhe red pepper of Pe
r, enlivendil tihe meadowms. Fromo Ta
bo up to Cahluint:ata the works itecatl"e I
Ittost gratnd tIttd imp)oiesittg, EL.ortnots I
cuts throngh the solid rock and
colossal "fillings" here facilitate:l the
upward carriage of the line at a
grade of 4 per cent. aver the first
great wall of the seaward Andes. In one
reach of less than t. elve kilometres of
horizontal distance Mr. Thorudike has
hero carried his road up nearly 4,000 feet
without a tunnel or a bridge. The road
bed is of the most admirable character,
and the great locomotive with its train
worked its way up almost as smootlily
and quietly as if running on a level. It
would be idle for me to attempt to de
scribe the incessantly varying, but always
grand and breath taking, vistas that
opened upon 1us at every moment as we
mnonuted. The scenery of the Brenner or
) of the Semumering may be admitted to
possess in the way of picturesque towns,
gleaming far down below your aerial path,
and of forests and scattered trees, charms
which are lacking in this comparatively
treeless and towuless chaos of gigantic
rocks. Rnt neither the Brenollner nor the
Semmnering road certainly makes any such
Silnpression upon the spectator as this, of
the engineering skill and daring with
which it has been constructed. Two years
of hard work and $4,500,000 were oxpen=
) defd upon this Cahuintala section alone.
When you teach a point from which you
can take in at a glance the colossal zig
zags which have brought you up, it really
seems almost impossiblo to imagine how
any man, put at the foot of this "giant's
stairway" with directions to find a way
up it for a steam-engine and an indefinite
amount of tonnage throeunto appended
should ever have succeeded in so doing.
As scientific soldiers tell us there is no
fortress which cannot be taken, it being
wholly a question of "how long," so I am
inclined to believe now that there is no
mountain which cannot be scaled by the
locomotive, provided only the money and
the men lie found lleyond the ramparts
of Cahuintalat stretch Ilhe smell "pallmpa'
of Colhendlo and the great "pauipa" of
Islam.
All travellers have united in reviling
these vast wastes of tmoving lalnlds. and I
dare say' that if I hadl traversedl thelm lly
selt 'on mutlchet'k, under at trolpical .sun, I
shoulll lhave hald few good words to give
thoei. lint sotein flo' t the windows of a
railway ca'rriage, as we r;ln rapidlly acrlo.s
their level width, they had ar sL:trange, pe
culi:arlhe:luty oif their own. Nothling culhl
be softer or Umore exquisitel thall the ntlontl
dlay ti:ts of' this sands. The pIredlotnin
:ult line is a delia:ite fawli color. deepenl
ing here anol there into brown, with hol
lows of the lovelicst "dove color," and inl
inteiable ltll -'wii:ows" of a bright alild
luinoits ashen gray. Fr alway arotul
the dislta it horizon swept the great uni'
plish hills, marked here and tIthere on their
ridges and in their rifts with shinlling
white deposits of "ceniza" or volcanic
ashes, whlich iairvelloisly resenibloe snow
drifts, or wyhite deposits, less shining amind
less intensely white, of sea-sand, lifted
high in the air, andl blown for miles and
mitles ilatnd by the tremendous force of
the winds which periodically sweep along
its coast. More distanlt yet flash out the
trite snow-peaks of the great cliain of the
Andes, seeuing to pllbear on their crys
talline summits the blue, blue vault of
Syria.
Fromt the pampas of Arequipa we climib
ed about 3,000 feet more. Over much of
this distance the road seems to have been
carriedl through the, geological workshop
of the world, while Inature was trying ex
perintents in pietrifact.ion on the most co
lossal scale. Stratitications the most un
expected anld the most incongruous sue
ceed each other like the combinations of
a kaleidoscope -traces of upheaval and I
traces of explosion, marine deposits and
volcanic dejections huddled together with 1
an apparent sort of desperation and of
htlrryquite indescribable. In some places
the surface of the earth as far as the eye
could rangd presntoed suclh an appearance
as one would fanty mlight result from a
rain of rocks. The most gigantic masses, t
'slagged and shattered porphyritic bould
ers weighing many tons, hlad been flung I
about over the grotnd like peanut-shells
about the feet of the gods of the Bowery.
On the Quishlalani and Hunasamayo sec- 1
tions of the road we passed through some 1
mlonistrons cuttings, ill 01110 eases of neal'- 1
ly or qulite 300 feet in length, through 11
rocks of the hardest charactor, uponi I
which ilore powder had been expended:
thanu over went to the iniaking of a "ft- a
Inous victory." 1One10 descentt of many
lhundltlredl feet broughlt you to the ibridgo, I
of the Sllulbay, This bridge carries the I
railway over the torrent of Sulmbay, at ai
elevationl of some 200 feet over the river
bid, and (if 13,420 feet above the level of
the sea. The bridge is of iron, rising 130
eet ablove thle muassive masolry onl which
it rests, and consists o(if two spans of 125
feet each, springing from a stone pier of
60 feeot, or of a total leugth of 300 feet.
The readler lmay inagillne--I cortaiuly
shall niot attompt to describe--the awftl
grallndleur of the purgatorial landscape t
which unrolls itself on overy side as youl
pasis slowly over this bridge. Rocks honeap
ed 11pol rocks, luonltains tumblecd upon
nlonltalllilS-eVOrl1wr0 natllro's sterlcst
most forbidding asteot-Alps witlhout
glaciers or-cataracts or meadows. Alldc
yet high in thile hIlvells is tlhe bright and
blazing sun of the tropics, feeder of '1ll
glaciers and farmer of all meadows. The
I great snow Andes are far away, shining
here and there throngh huge vistas in the
i distance. At one point you make out the
floating, grayish-black plume of the white
3 crested Juvinas, the only active volcano
f known to exist in this region of the An
des and to the east of the summit range.
The people of Arequipa tremble when
news comeb to them that Juvinas has
ceased to wave his plume of smoke by day,
i of fire by night. Then they look fearfully
r for the earthquake. It came no longer
t ago than Juno 10, ten days 'lefore we
reached Arequipa, and shook and shat
tered things not slightly. But as we
passed up and as we came down Juvinas
a had his banner displayed, and Arequipa
r breathes more freely. For a long distance
after we left Arequipa the geological
aspect of the country was most astonish
ing. The predominant formation seemed
to be, but was not, chalk, being in truth
horrid hills of a sort of incomplete pu
mice-stone, very white, very easily work
ed, and resembling a sort of white brick
, more than anything else I can think of.
F It is very useful to the railwa: people.
who make their tanks of it, and to Are
quipa, most of whose houses are built of
it. But it gives to the landscape an air
as of the "abomlination of desolation."
There are miles upon miles, too, of the
most extraordinary clays in the most ex
traordinary combinations and stratifica
tions-yellow clays and red, white brown,
purple, dnn color; now laid as with a
trowel in regular horizontal layers, now
tipped on end in one way and now in an
other, now inttrjected with porphyritic
rocks and dejected, as it were. again upon
them.
SAJIUEL J. RANDALL.
[Memphis Appeal.]
For three months the Appeal has favor
ed the election of this distinguished Pcn
sylvaniaml to the speakership, and, of
course, we are gratified at his election.
Mr. Randall is a strong, wise, pure man,
and has ahlready developed his ability for
making a1n alde presiding officer. He has
verve and determination, and will direct,
aright ,by his rulings the large and un -
wieldy ,dly over which lie presides. For
several months Mr. Randall ,:has een the
victitil of ant olrgasizcel ha1ild oifsla;nderers.
Every conleivable ftlslehosd has been con
cocted for the Jiirpo.;ve of' testroyi:g hiim,
but lie has passed tlhr"sgh the ord:eal of
camIlIititty tr'iltllnplhlt. The Apipeal con
gratulates hit' on Iris victory. The stale
lie that lie was the candidijato of 'l'auimiany
did nu't .tc:oitipliish the piulposie for which
it was fabri:ateid. ::ml those wh1o origina
ted thle s:neller have linul rebuked. lr.
Randall is endearedl to the J)emlocracy of
the South. Our people cain sieves'r lo'ot
lthe ma.nly intr eildity with which he has
labolred tt' their rights aind against, their
wvronlgs douinlg the past ten years. San
tiel J. RandalI hast ever been the fearless
champion of civil authority against mili
tary usurpation; thlie steadfast opponent
of despotistim in the soulth, the faithfiul
ally of the sucthel'"n States in their strag
gle upward out of tha autarchy w'hilch suc
ceeded the war into eitizenslip and equal
ity. The lobby, the pluderers n nl t he
rings, who have or;anhized for a raid upon.
the Congress of the United States, have
the same sort of bat red for Ranudall which
the picklpocket has for the police officer
who would keep his hand out of a by
stander's pocket; but the people will stand
by an honest official. The country 'lay
feel assured that the national rcputatiou
is elevated and purified by the election of
such mens as Randall to high and respon
sible positions. By clecting Randall as
speaker of the house, the Democrats of
Congress simply affirmed the conviction
of the country that the great need at
this time is the election of nmet who will
meet the demand of the American people
for a new order of men, atnd niw methods
in the administration of our public affairs.
Mr. Randall hats wel a Roman reputation
in public life for aggressive courage, pa
tienut industry, unflinching determitaation
-all the qualities, in short, which make
a man respected ints public bodies, and
command the highest forms of political
success. No member of Congress has
been so persistent in pressing govermuineu
tal reform. His manly bearing, his frank
manner, his great firmttlless i the asser
tion of Iris convictions, his intenso syti
pathy iin everytthing that is honorable
and higl-mindde, his scorn as intense of
all things mean and base, htave'uade hiu,
strong s tthe affect ious of the people, who
rejloice at his election as speaonker of the
house of reptresentattives.
A QUESTION FOR PLANTERS.
The Shroveport Exchauge had under
discussion not long since the question of
tile relative proportion of the cotton crop
made on the bottom, the middle and the
top of the stalks, or weed. Some of the
stembers cisontended that tilhe bottom crop
was of the whole; the iuiddle crop f,
and thIe top crop 4, while the others con
tended the bottom was 7-16, the middlc 4,
and the top 3-10. The views of the old
and experlencod planters would be of val
uo here, fur these proportions once car
rectly approximated, the damage to a crop
coslsd be more easily and snore correctly
estimated. "

A FATED TORPEDO BOAT.
THE HISTORY OF THE CRAFT THAT SUNK
TIIE HIOUSATONIC.
GeCn G. T. Bea uregard in the Philadel
phia Weekly Times.
Nearly about the time of the attack
upon the New Irousides by the David,
Mr. Horace L. Hunley, formerly of New
Orleans, but thouen living in Mobile, offer
ed me another torpedo boat of a differ
ent description, which had been built
with his private means. It was shaped
like a fish, made of galvanized iron, was
twenty feet long, and at the middle three
and a half feet wide by live deep. From
titts shapo it canme to be known as the
"fish torpedo boat." Propelled by a screw
worked from the inside by seven or eight
men, it was so contrived that it could be
submerged and worked under water for
several hours, and to this end was pro
vided with a fin on each side, worked
also from the interior. By depressing
the points of these fins, the l,oat when
in motion was made to decend, and by
c.evating them it was made to rise.
Light was afforded through tLe means of
bull's-eyes placed in the rman-holes. Mr.
Payne, the engineer who had successful
ly saved the David, havlng volunteered
with a crew from the Confederate navy,
to mani the fish-boat for another' attack
upon the New Ironsides, it was given
into their hands for that purpose. WVhile
tied to the wharf at Fort Johnson,
whence it was to start under cover of
night to make thio attack, a steamer
passing close by capsized and sunk it.
Mr. Payne, who at the time was stand
ing in one of the man-holes, jumped out
two men into the two openings, drowned
then within the body of the boat. After
the recovery of the sunken boat Mr. Hun
Icy came from Mobile, bringing with him
Lioutenant Dixon,' of the Alabama Volutn
teers, who had successfully experimented
with the boat in the.harbor of Mobile,
and under hin another naval creow vol
unteered to work it. As originally de
signed, the torpedo was to be dragged
astern upon the suriface of the water;
the boat, approaching tile broadside of
the vessel to be attacked, was to dive
beneath it and, rising to the surface be
yond, continune its course, thus bringing
the float torpedo against tihe vorsol's side,
when it would be discharged by a trig
ger contrived to go off by the contact
Lienutenant Dixon mado repeated de
cents in the harbor of Charleston, diving
under the naval receiving ship which
lay at ancmhor there. But one day when
he was absent from the city Mr. Hunley,
nrlortnuately, wishing to handle the
boat Ilimself, made the attempt. It was
really submerged, but did not rise again
to the surfice, and all oi board perished
fromn asphyxiation. When the boat was
discovere:d, raised and opeued, the specta
cle was indescribably ghastly; the un
firtunate meni were contorted into all
kinds of horrible attitutes ; some cluth
ing candles, evidently in the endeavor
to force open the man-holes; others ly
ing ill the bottom tightly grappled to
gether, and the blackened faces of all
presented the expression of their des
pair and agony. After this tragedy I re
fused to permit the boat to be used again;
but Lieutenant Dixon, a brave and do
termined man, having returned to
Charleston, applied to me for authority
to use it against the Federal stoan: sloop
of-satr. Housatoieic, a poworiul new
vessO', carrying eleven gnus of thile largest
calibre, which lay at the time in the north
channel opposite Beach lnlet, materially
obstructing the passage of our blockade
runners in and out. At the suggestion of
my Chief-of-Sta:il, General Jordan, I con
sen ted to its use for this purpose, not as a
submarine machine, but in the same man
ncer as the David. As the Hlousatonic was
easily approached through interior chan
nels front belhind Sullivan's Island and
Lieutenant Dixon readily procn-rred a
volunteer crew, hisslittle vessel was fitted
with a Lee spar torpedo and the cpedi
tiou was undertakon. Lieutenant Dixon,
acting with characteristic coolouss and
resolution, st:rtck antd sunk the IIousa
tonic; but nhal)ppily, front some unknown
cause, the.torpelo boat was also sullll, andi
all with it lost. Several years since a
"diver," examining the wreck of the
Ilonsatonic, discovered the fish-boatlying
nloingside of its v ice iim.
