Sketches from the Alps to the Adriatic, 



I lbpt Innipruck early one morning for the 

 village of Hall, which Is situated six miles farther 

 down the valley of the Inn. The road on the left 

 bank of the river i» level, and leads between rows 

 of apple and cherry trees. The bottom land of the 

 valley is about three miles wide — forests and 

 pastures extend part way op the mountain aides, 

 bat the extreme summits are barren rocks. I 

 must say a word about distances, which among 

 high mountains are very deceiving to the un- 

 practiced traveler. The distance between Hall 

 and Innspruck does not appear to me to be one- 

 third of what it really la,— the three miles across 

 the valley seemed not more than a ride shot. Bat 

 I was the most snrprlsed on learning that it was 

 five hourB' of hard walking to the top of the 

 mountains, north of Jnnspruck. If one looked 

 Hliaigbtto their summits, without taking notice of 

 the intervening slopes, they appeared scarcely a 

 mile distant Perhaps yon are walking towards a 

 precipice, in which you believe you can see every 

 cleft and shadow, and yon think in ten or fifteen 

 minutes to reach its bottom. If yon are nn- 

 pracliced in jadging distances amid such situa- 

 tions, yon will probably find, after walking steadily 

 for an honr, that the space tbeD remaining to be 

 traversed, will require ten or fifteen minutes to 



I arrived in Hall at eight o'clock, and going to 

 the Gaathaut -u den Bonn, (Hotel to the heart.) 

 ate my breakfast of coffee and bread with the 

 keenest appetite, which the morning air and the 

 six niilea walk had given. Leaving my knapsack 

 at the Inn, I put a lunch of bread and bam in my 

 pocket, and started for the Salt Mines, which are 

 op Bmong the mountains, and six miles distant 

 from HalL The road ascends gradually for the 

 first half hour, and exhibits interesting views of 

 the valley, Innspruck and the Caatle Ambraa 

 seemed close by. Across the valley, pastures, in- 

 termingled with forests, extended up the moun- 

 tain slopes, until they met the line of bleak rocks. 

 The aun shone hot, obliging me to pall off my coat, 

 and it seemed odd to feel a heat intense enough 

 to make Indian corn grow rapidly, and yet see 

 snow. When the road enters the narrow gorge 

 among the mountains, it ascends steeper than be- 

 fore. On both sides are perpendicular, craggy 

 precipices of rock many hundred feet high, and 

 they stand so near together that in some places 

 the sum-hino can scarcely enter. The pass, for a 

 considerable distance, is so narrow that when the 

 sun shines on it sideways, Ihe shadows darken the 

 bottom. A large torrent roars down the gorge, 

 broken into masses of foam by heaps of rocks that 

 lie in its bed. Higher up, the valley becomes 

 wider and greener, and there are many trees, and 



After two hours walk, I came to several low 

 building?, Blending some distance from one 

 another, and surrounded by patches of snow. All 

 around rose rocky peaks many hundred feet high. 

 They looked as if inaccessible to the foot of man, 

 and heaps of snow lay in the hollows of the rocks. 

 There were no signs of life round about, and I 

 climbed to the highest bnilding, and then crossed 

 a ridge into another valley, without finding any 

 body to give me information about the mines. — 

 Seeing that I waa going in the wrong direction, Ire- 

 traced my steps, and met a couple of laborers, who 

 indagaide. I entered a room 



u,h I 



whom promised to accompany me. Before going, 

 I drank a glass of beer, and disposed of the lunch 

 I had brought along. I then put on a jacket, a 

 leather cap, apron, and belt, and taking a heavy, 

 iron-pointed staff, followed my guide into one of 

 the low buildings that leaned against the steep 

 acclivity. About the entrance lay a vast heap of 

 snow, whioh was part of an avalanche that had shot 

 down from the peak above, daring the previous 

 winter, and burled the building. 



Unlocking a door, we entered a gallery which r 

 horizontally into tbo mountains. It ia about 

 feet high, two feet broad at the top, and three f 

 a half at the bottom. The broad shoulders of 

 guide, who went la advance with his lamp, aim 

 touched both sides. The sides and top of the 

 gallery are strengthened in some placeB by props 

 and beams, but for the most part there is nothing 

 but the soft rock. This presses in Blowly, 

 galleries have to bo enlarged every few 

 Even the beams will not resist this pressure, and 

 they bend inwards 

 the gallery Is often half-way between the top and 

 bottom. I did not learn the exact length of the 

 main galleries,— the guide did not know,— but I 

 am sure we followed one between two and three 

 miles. There waa no descent, for the gallery is 

 horizontal The air was cool and damp, and the 

 guide informed me that it held the same tempei 

 ture both in anmmer and in winter. There a 

 eight lovels lu the mine, and the galleries on each 

 ran horizontal. After walking a few minutes 

 along this narrow passage, directly into the heart 

 of the mountain, crystal of white and red salt 

 begin to glitter In the rock, which 

 quantity aa we proceeded. There ia but little solid 

 salt procured in this mine, for it is mixed with 

 much larger proportion of earth and soft rock. 



The method of obtaining the sah from the earth 

 is simple and very effective We entered 

 excavated in the soft rock with which th 

 intermixed. The room was about six ft _ 

 and contained, the guide said, sixty thousand 

 cubic feet. By means of a set of pipes, thU roo 

 could be filled with pure water, which, by rensai 

 Ing a few weeks, becomes strongly impregnat. 

 witbaalL It is then let oat by another set of pipes 

 and carried through them down the valley to Hall, 

 where it is evaporated. After the room has thus 

 been tilled with water two or three times, or nntil 

 all the iait which its sides contain is exhausted, it 

 is elevated into fresh earth by Bhoveling down the 

 roof, and depositing the looBened earth 

 bottom, so i h ; 



away, six feet are added to the floor, and the 

 heighth remains the same, though the space is in 

 fresh earth. The room is thus filled with water, 

 until the saline matter which it contains is re- 

 moved, after which It is again raised. This 

 method requires the aid of but little machinery. 

 The water comes in great plenty from springs 

 higher up en the mountain) than the mines. The 

 guide told me that three hundred and fifty laborers 

 were employed, and that the lowest price paid for 

 six hours labor is six cents, and the highest, 

 twenty cents. The mine has been worked several 

 hundred years. In one large room is a lake, made 

 for the amusement of visitors. My guide lit several 

 tapers, and then we entered a boat, which he poled 

 to an bland in the middle. The island Is covered 

 images of the spirits which were supposed 



haunt mines, and in that singular pla< 

 wierd enough. The water of the lake wi 

 crystal, and perfeotly salt 



look* 



Hall time enough to wander about 

 the town an hour or two before dark. It contains 



six thousand Inhabitants, and one Bees more of the 

 peculiar customs of the Tyrol, turn in Innspruck. 

 What struck me most waa the number of project- 

 ing windows that hang over the pavement?. People 

 can sit In tbem and have long views in the street 

 on both sides. This manner of building windows 



THE DEAD 8EA. 



is not mere fancy that has clothed the Dead 

 Sea in gloom. The desolate shores, with scarcely 

 a green thing In sight, and scattered over with 

 black stones and ragged drift-wood, form a fitting 

 frame for the dark sluggish waters, covered with 

 a perpetual mini, and breaking in elow, heavy, 

 sepulchral-toned waves npon the beach. It seems 

 if yet the smoke of the wicked cities was 

 ascending np to heaven, and as if the moau of 

 their fearful sorrow woold never leave that God- 

 in valley. It ia a strange thing to see those 

 , not dancing along and sparkling in the 

 s other waves do, but moving with measured 

 melancholy, and sending to the ear, as they break 

 idly npon the rock, only doleful sounds. 

 is, no doubt, owing to the great heaviness of 

 iter, a fact well known, and which we amply 

 verified in the usual way, for on attempting to 

 swim, we went floating about like empty casks. 

 This experiment was more satisfactory in its 

 progress than in its results, which were a very 

 nnctnotis skin, and a most pestiferous stinging of 

 every nerve, as if we had been flagrantly beaten 

 with nettles. Nor was the water we took into our 

 mouths a whit less vile than the most nauseous 

 drags of the apothecary. That fish cannot live in 

 this strong solution of bitumen and Bait, is too 

 obvious to need proof; but to say that birds can- 

 not fly over It and live, is one of the exaggerations 

 of travelers, who perhaps wero not, like ourselves, 

 bo fortunate as to see a flock of ducks quietly 

 reposing on the water in apparently perfect health. 

 And yet this was all the life we did see. The whole 

 valley waa one seething cauldron, under more 

 than a tropical sun, God-forsaken and man- 

 forsaken, no green thing grows within it, and it 

 remains to this day as striking a monument of 

 God's fearful judgments, as when the fire from 

 heaven devoured the mighty cities of the plain. — 



OUR CHANGING CLIMATE. 



The following beautiful passaj 

 Irving might almost make a March day cheerful: 



" Here let us say a word in favor of those vicissi- 

 tudes of our climate, which are too often made the 

 subject of exclusive repining. If they annoy ns 

 occasionally by changes from hot to cold, from wet 

 to dry, they give us one of the most beautiful cli- 

 mates in the world. They give us the brilliant sun- 

 shine of the South of Europe, with the fresh ver- 

 dure of the North. They float our summer sky 

 with gorgeous tints of fleecy whiteness, and send 

 down cooling showers to refresh the panting earth 

 and keep it green. Our seasons are full of sublimi- 

 ty and beauty. 



Winter with ns hath none of its proverbial 

 gloom. It may have its howling winds and chill- 

 ing frosts, and whirling enow storms; but it has 

 also its long intervals of cloudless sunshine, when 

 the snow-clad earth gives redoubled brightness to 

 the day, when at night the stars beam with intens- 

 est lustre, or the moon floods the whole landscape 

 with her most limpid radiance. And the joyona 

 outbreak of our Spring, bursting at once into leaf 

 and blossom, redundant with vegetation, and vocif- 

 erous with life and the splendor of summer — its 

 morning voluptuousness and evening glory — Its 

 airy palaces of sunlit clouds piled up in a deep 

 azure eky; and its gusts of tempests of almost 

 tropical grandeur, when the forked lightning and 

 bellowing thunder-volley from the battlements of 

 heaven shako the sultry atmosphere; and the sab- 

 lime melonwholy of our Autumn, magnificent in 

 its decay, withering down the pomp of awoodland 

 country, yet reflecting back from its yellow forests 

 the golden serenity of the sky. Truly we may say 

 that in our climate, 'The heavens declare the glory 

 of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork. 

 Day unto day nttereth speech, and night unto night 

 showeth knowledge.' " 



Arab Pbovebbs. — If your friend Is made of 

 honey do not eat him all up. If you travel thro' 

 the country of the blind, be blind yourself. When 

 you are the anvil have patience; when you are the 

 hammer, strike straight and wet). He who cannot 

 take a hint, cannot comprehend a long explana- 

 tion. Take counsel of one greater and one less 

 than yonreelf, and afterward from yoar own 

 opinion. 



HirriSESS ever. Distant. — Youth beholds hap- 

 piness gleaming in the prospect Age looks back 

 on the happiness of yoath; and, Instead of hopes, 

 seeks its enjoyment In the recollection of hopes. 

 Thus happiness ever resides in the imagination,—

SEALS OF THE STATES. -NO. XXIII AND XXIV. 



Alabama, one of the Southern States, is situated 

 between30° 10' and 35 north latitude, and S5 C and 

 88- 30' west longitude. Alabama was originally 

 included in the territorial limits of Georgia, ex- 

 cept a portion which belonged to Florida. In 

 1S02 Georgia ceded all her territory west of Chat- 

 tabooahee livorto the Mississippi to the United 

 States, and in 1817 it constituted the Mississippi 

 Territory. Alabama constituted a portion of this 

 territory until it was admitted into the Union, 

 and became an independent State ia 1820. The 

 population in 1800 was only 2,000, and in IS50, 

 771,671. The masses are divided into, whites, 

 ■120.507; free colored, 2,272; slaves, 312,892, 



The surface of this State exhibits maoh variety, — 

 bordering the shore of the Gnlf of Mexico, and for 

 some distance interior it is low, level, soil sandy, 

 and the prevailing timber pine. The central por- 

 tion ia undulating, with a deep rich, and produc- 

 tive soil, especially on the margin of the streams. 

 Approaching the north, it rises into a hilly region, 

 and in the northeast corner of the State it becomes 

 mountainous, caused by the southern termination 

 of the Alleghany ridge. The climate, varying 

 from the south to the north part of the State, is 

 favorable for the production of its great staples — 





corn, and in the middle and northern part, 

 and other cereals. Alabama has great mineral 

 resources; the entire middle region is underlaid 

 with bituminous coal, and deposits of iron ore, and 

 in different localities throughout the State, are 

 lead ore, manganese, limestone, marble, Asa,; in 

 the north east gold mines have been worked with 



The Executive power 13 vested in a Governor, 

 who ia elected biennially by the people. The 

 Legislative power consists of a Senate and House 

 of Representatives; the Senate consists of thirty- 

 three members, eleoted for four years, one-half 

 going ootevery two years; and the representatives 

 number one hundred, elected for two years. The 

 legislature meets biennially in Montgomery, on 

 the second Tuesday in Novenber. The judges of 

 the Supreme Court and the chancellors are elected 

 by the joint vote of the two branches of the legis- 

 lature for a period of six years. The right of suf- 

 frage is possessed by every white male citizen of 

 twen!y-one years of age, who has resided within 

 the State one year immediately preceding an clec- 

 the last three months within the county,

 geous furniture, although of lees actual worth and

 an exhibition a few bunches of friction matches, 

 which were onnoticed by those who passed. Visi- 

 tors went there looking for some great thing, not 

 realizing that the despised package ef splints tip- 

 ped with chemical fire was the greatest thing In 

 that prond collection, destined to work a revolution 

 in the means of procuring artificial light, and I 

 become a universal necessity, to be deprived 1 

 which woold be one of the greatest inconvenienci 

 that could happen. It ia not more than twenty 

 years since the tinder-box was in universal 

 bat It is abolished now, and its place taken by this 

 simple, cheap and certain method of obtaining 

 light. The introduction of friction matehesspread

 in their sports. On a pleasant day no child should 

 be allowed to remain In the schoolroom daring 

 the time set apart for exercise, neither should they 

 be confined to close study for two or three hours 

 at a time. I am persuaded that there exists no 

 subject at the present time, in school matters,

The- - 



part of the State, for about loo 

 ljulf of Mexico, Is mostly a sandy 

 level pine forest, interspersed with cypress swamps, 

 prairies, and inundated marshes, and a few 

 hills of a moderate elevation. This region is 

 generally healthy, and by cultivation produces 

 cotton, Indian corn, sagar, indigo, Ac As yon 

 proceed farther noitb, the country becomes more 

 elevated and agreeably diversified, and the soil is 

 a deep rich mould, producing abundantly cotton, 

 Indian corn, sweet potatoes, Indigo, peaches, 

 melons, and grapes. The natural growth of 

 timber consists of poplar, hickory, black walnut, 

 sugar maple, cotton wood, magnolia, lime, and 

 sassafras. The oountry in the north of the State 

 is healthy and productive, and the lands watered 

 by the Yazoo, in the north-west are very fertile. 



The Governor is elected by the people for a term 

 of two years, and cannot hold the office more than 

 four years ont of six, and in oase of his death, 

 resignation, or other inability, it is provided that 

 the President of the Senate shall perform the 

 duties of Governor until another shall be duly 

 qualified. The Senators are eleoted for four years, 

 one-half of the number being chosen biennially. 

 There cannot be less than one-fourth, nor more 

 than one-third of the whole number of Represen- 

 tatives. The Representatives are elected biennially, 

 on the first Monday and day following In November, 

 and each county is entitled to one member. The 

 Legislature meets biennially at Jackson on the first 

 Monday in January. Every free white male citizen 

 of the United States, 21 years of age, and who has 

 resided in the State one year next preceding the 

 election, and four months In the county, city 0;

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. 



some classes of society labor is considered 

 7 degrading. They suppose it renders them 

 e and vulgar. 

 God has commanded that man shall obtain "his 

 d by the sweat of his brow,'' and " he that will 

 r shall he eat." Again, He has 

 1 respecter of persona." Then, 

 those who labor and those who do not are on a 

 "ie sight of their Creator. What, then, is 

 f making so much distinction In life 

 when there can be none in Eternity, as regards 

 labor? If there can be any, it will be In favor of 

 who have honestly tolled, because In so 

 doing they have done their Matter's will, and the 

 others have need to ask forgiveness because they

let all have some honest employment, and the 

 world will be better; a good example will be given 

 those who come after to imitate. The evil one 

 always finds employment for idle minds and hands, 

 and chooses such to accomplish his fiendish 

 designs. 



A man who keeps head, heart, and hands busy in 

 some good cause la one of Nature's noblemen, and 

 such, too, as the world delights to remember when 

 he is In his grave. Bat where is there on record 

 the name of an idle man? Honest labor makes a 

 man independent. It cultivates bis talents, which 

 sometimes exhibit a briUiancy calculated to light 

 other souls through the world, which, if not culti- 

 vated, lie dormant, and the world, as well as him- 

 self, is a loser thereby. Some make the exouse, 

 that they have a safficiency of this world's goods, 

 and do not need to labor. Then let them take it 

 and use for the further improvement of themselves 

 and thoae nnder their Immediate care, or those 

 about them who would gladly and IhankfuUy

LAWYERS vs. FARMERS' BOYS. 



Messrs. Editors:— Harry Harris, of Home,

 to inform Rdbal readers, that he don't like farm-

 profession, and after making a strong appeal to 

 those " who intend to enlist under the banner of

 down the gauntlet to Farmers' hoys, and contem- 

 plates combating his " formidable antagonists

THE CLERKS, 



Messrs. En*.:— Accompanying this note I Bend 

 you a specimen of my Excthwr Wine, manufac- 

 tured and put np by me in pints and qaarts from 

 the native habtlla grape. It will be two years old 

 the coming riponlng. I wish you to sample it 

 thoroughly and acquaint a "clerk" who signs 

 himself in your last week's issue of its properties, 

 Ac. I like his suggestions well respecting the fill- 

 ing up of a column In the Ritual by clerks; and 

 if they will only do so and send along some speci- 

 mens of their labors, (not of counter-jumping,) I 

 presume you, Mr. Editor, would appreciate them 



The Idea of any salesman or clerk in Rochester 

 having anything to do with Agriculture or Horti- 

 culture may be considered a laughable one, yet I 

 can assure you, Mr. Editor, of one whose hours are 

 spent at early dawn, (not quite as early as the Rob- 

 ins begin to sing their beautiful songs,) but eay 

 from daylight to six in the morning, cultivating a 

 very small piece of ground, besides pruning and 

 tresselllng one of the prettiest and most produc- 

 tive grape vines in Rochester. Thia ia done more 

 for health than profit, although this vine produ- 

 ces to me in wine alone nearly one hundred dol- 

 lars net a year.

 of very superior native wine. It had leas of that 

 sweet, cloggy taste so common with moat home-

 wine this fall most use less sugar and water, and 

 more juice ol the frnit than Is recommended in

 grape juice ia poor stuff. Let us have the pure
