X A. V .1 jmiJIJIUI'WIWIIIBIIHMIUIIIUHHV SAXON SWITZERLAND. Ono of tho Most Picturosquo Dis tricts in tho World. VlNltorn from America Pronounce It u Vvrltiihlu I'm-mllnc, Superior In Some ItuNpvutN to tliu YoHcniltc Valley. Special Ilcrliti Letter 1 Among the pluturcsquu districts un til recently ncy'.ectocl by the American touri&ts in lCurope Is that region known generuily as Saxon Switzeiland. This neglect, however, is now being muck up for, as the number of Americans visit ing that lovely region is steadily on the Increase. 1 noticed, among the passen gers on a river boat folug up the Elbe, several charming American bridal par ties, and on the summit of one of the finest peaks 1 stumbled into a group of Americans who hailed from every part of the United States, but who were here, focussed together, as it were, In this tiny paradise. For Saxon Switzerland is a veritable paradise, it has not the grand air of the real Switzerland, and it lacks gla ciers and cloud-piercing monsters of mountains. But of its kind it is more attractive. There is a mixture of idyllic peace and peculiar picturesqueness in the landscape that is extremely charm ing. The people there arc not yet so greedy nfter the dollars of the tourists; in fact, they are for the most part quite naive and hospitable, and their brook trout and fresh fruit and the products of their mountain industries are as yet HOCK FORMATION IN all to be had at a very reasonable rate. In fact, for a holiday of a fortnight or so I know of no more propitious spot on earth than this same Saxon Switzer land, and as such it is recognized by thi shrewd Germans, the Berliners es pecially, who undertake frequently and at small expense brief trips there. The best way to do this is to take the fast train from Berlin to Dresden, stop there over night, and then take one of the pretty Elbe boats the next morn ing and make the circuit through the whole region by easy stages, going by boat up the river a few hours, then dis embark again, and make a dive down one of the marvelousl.y pretty side val leys, of which glimpses were caught in Hearing it on the water; then making n roundabout way through the rocky formations again, and reach another fctenrnboat station higher up, whence to pass on for another spell. Hotels, Boine luxurious, others rather primitive, but all clean, wholesome and providing good fare, are to be met with every- IN EDMUND'S KLAMM. where, and pleasant traveling compan ions are sure to be encountered almost at any stage of the journey. Tho whole trip, taking iu ecry point of in terest, fur into the (Jermau-speukiug part of Bohemia, and lasting, say a fortnight, reckoning from the time of leaving Berlin, with fare and hotel ex penses may be made for about $5; liv ing on the fat of the laud, too, on that bum. Saxon Switzerland owes its peculiar charm to several circuiustnnces. It is a region of mountains, tall, perpendic ular rocks and bowlders (some rising straight from the bunks of the Elbe to an altitude of 1,000 feet and over, and the summits of the mountains 2,000 to 3,000 feet even) through which the lovely Elbe river winds its way. The rock formations, with their odd shapes, owe their origin to a remote voluunic past, and being all of sandstone, the rock is piled on, so to speak, layer on j IfPil fell -4mfi layer, with needlc-llkc peaks jutting forth in the most unexpected places, oftcu dotted with tall and magnificent trees, often, too, bare and showing tho loveliest kaleidoscopic changes, as the light, the sun, the clouds, the weather net upon them. A sunrise and a sunset, for instance, with the roseate or deeper tints of tho orl. thrown on the two walls of steep rocks hemming in both shores of the silvery river, are among the illicit sights thnt human eye can behold anywhere, mid then ngain.tlie view, panoramic and extensive, to be enjoyed from many of these mountain tons, is unique, i'loin the llastei rock, for instance, near the town of Schandau (although but about 700 feet over the river) one sees, when tht weather is clear, the pillars and spires of Dresden (L'5 miles distant) on the one side, and the mountain '.ops of llohemia (about the same distance or fatther on the other). Helow. hcores of little villages, hills and dales, wooded falcpcs and rocky formations, with th nvcr (separating the whole picture, spread out, checker-board fashion. The whole district, so far as it is worth see ing and visiting, measures but a few hundred Mjtinre miles, it is true, but within that small territory the tourist. to ids amazement, notices more variety in landscape, in type of population, etc., than he would elsewhere in territory 20 times that size. Beyond the Saxon borders, on Bohe mian soil, there arc two of the loveliest nights of all, viz.: Prcbischthor, and the Edmund's Klamm. The lateer is a chasm opening into the steep mid per pendicular rock for the length of ten miles or so, the bottom being formed by SAXON SWITZI2UL.ANW. a pellucid mountain river. Bow boats ascend this river to the very heart of this slit into the rocks, and the scenery changes frequently during the trip. .Now one passes rocks down which ths mountain brooklets trickle with me lodious splash, and then again both banks are lined with pine trees, verdure, bushes from which hundreds of smjj in;j birds pour their songs, for though men are in close proximity they cannot harm these birds, and the birds know it niu.1 are jolly iu proportion. There are se-eral rapids, but it is easy to avoid tl.ein at least it is so for the ex perienced boatmen of the neighbor liood. To right and left of this long cleft in the rocks valleys extend, anil in these there are picturesque mills and little chalets. The Prebisehthor, again, is a tremen dous rock formation some 1.200 feet high and standing iu the very midst of a magnificent wilderness of tall trees and bowlders. The valley from which it rises skyward looks as if giants had played marbles with immense bowlders and had lelt the game unfinished; every thing is topsy-turvy. But out of it two enormous pillars of gray, withered sandstone stick up straight into the air 1,200 feet high, and on the top these two pillars have another huiru slab of rock lying right across them, thus forming a natural gate. On the slab of a rock stand a big terrace, a res taurant nnd numerous other signs of human civilization, including iron rail ings, from which the different phases of the outlook can be enjoyed in safety, and galleries have been hewn into the rock itself, facilitating the ascent and making it even possible for donkeys and horses to climb up to the height. Persons who have ever seen the Vo semite valley, in California, will be struck with numerous points of resem blance between that lovely region nnd this. This is especially the case as to the peculiar shapes of the rocks and piomontories. Here in Saxon and Bo hemian Switzerland, too, all sorts of ex traordinary forms are noticed faces of human outline, for instance, are quite frequently met with, with noses nnd mouths hundreds of feet iu extent, and a tall pine or oak for eyebrows. But while lliese and similar points are of striking resemblance to the Cali fornia!! landscape mentioned, this one of little Saxon Switzerland is much more idyllic, picturesque and peaceful, and the vegetation, too, Is more plenti ful, nnd varied. Lovely flowers, not met with elsewhere, are found in the numer ous side valleys, and bird life is plen tiful and very variegated. WOLF VON Si 'HI K II 13 H A N D. I'i'olmlily.

Out of the (irntlttulc of III Heart, Mr. John .McMillan TellH u llcnorlcr How He whm Cured of Mont Terrible Suffer I mr. From tho Capital, St. John, Kansas. Your correspondent in nn interview with Mr. John .McMillan, who resales at St. John, Knnsas, elicited the following information concerning the wonderful curative proper ties contained in Dr. Williams' rink Tills. Mr. McMillan said: "In the fall of IS'.H, I AVith another man, decided upon a hunting expedition into the Indian Territory. Accordingly, we sinned south late in the fall. The weather was damp and cold, and we were compelled to sleep on the ground with nothing hut a tent for protection. The exposure, coupled with the bad water, which in that county con tains a great quantity of alknh in. 1 gypsum, caused me to contract a bad case ot kidney trouble and rheumatism, something 1 had never known before. After remaining in the Territory for seveial months and con tinuing to grow worse, 1 concluded the best inillg ior Hie 10 oo was iu tunic nume, wiiiuu 1 proceeded to do, but 1 became worse. "1 tried several remedies without avail. My nights were spent in sleeplessness and misery, and 1 became convinced that I must have help immediately. Some one told me the benefits they had derived from Dr. Wil liams' l'ink Pills, and i determined to give them a trial, which 1 did, and I can truth fully assert to you that their action was magical. I'roin the first dose I commenced improving ami 'twas but a short time until all pain had left me, and I felt entirely well. What is more, I have never had a recur rence of my trouble from the time of my re covery until the present- tune, l can cer tainly recommend Dr. Williams' l'ink Bills ti!. one of the best medicines on the market, if not the best." In conclusion, Mr. McMillnn asked us if we intended making his statement public, and upon our allirmative reply lie remarked that he was perfectly satished, as lie had often contemplated doing so himself, as he considered it a duty he owed to suifcriiig humanity. Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills rontnin, in a condensed form, all tin dements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and lestore shattered nerves.

The Baltimore and Ohio ollitnds are very much pleased with certain statistics that have recently been prepared of the per formance of freight trains on the Second division, which handles all the east and west-bound trailie between Baltimore and Cuinberalnd. Before the new freight en gines were pin chased, and the improvements made in the track in the way of straighten ing curves and reducing grades, the average number of cars to tho tram was 28 1-2. Now, with more powerful and modern motive power and a better track, the average is '10 ears per train, an increase of '11 per cent. The average east-bound movement per day for the first ten davs of August mixh i,'2', loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum berland to (Sraftoii, where there are grades of 12.") feet to the miie, the engines used to haul 19 1-2 loads to the train. -Now the overage is 2j 2-IJ loads per ti.im, an increase of :U per cent. It would certainly appear that the money spent in improvements on the B. and O. is being amply justified, and that the cost of operation is being very ma terially reduced.
