CROSSING THE BRINY DEE!1 RECOLLECTIONS OF AN OCEAN TRIP. Xlfe on Blilpbonrtl Its llonntles ami Un pleasantnessHow to Attlro( Wlutt to Kxpect, i:to. MY 0. D. HYATT, Written for Tn CocniKH. " Llfo on tho Ocean Wavo," us oxiierleneed in a elnglo trip by tho Bwlftly-borno voyager 6f to-day, may or niny not furnish ovon n t orctasto of tho pleasures, discomforts, amuse lucnU or terrors of prolonged or numerous voynges, for tho few doys now required to span the broad Atlantic, nmy bo, each of cloudless sky and placid water or thoy may bo days fraught with tempest and nights flllodwith frightful forebodings. Wind and weather seem nowhero moro capraclous than on tho ocean. At tho wharf, when tho hour for sailing arrives, thero nro tho over recur ring Incidents of tearful and pathetic partings which tho solitary passenger may w Itnesi, not without emotion, If ho thinks of tho Isolation from friends, who, although distant, seemed not out of reach until ho finds himsolf lloatlng oceauward, but ho waves his farewells In fancy ns ho write parting notes and letters to bo sent ashore with tho pilot, tolling of safo embarkation, and tho novelty of tho situation with tho oxhlllratlng effect of tho motion, soon diBicl8 nil dismal feeling, as tho huge ship Is slowly swung out from the wharf by n llttlo Btcntn tug attached to her sldo, remind ing ouo of tho diminutive ant wo have often seen pushing and dragging another insect, or n hit of soinothlnc many times Its own bulk. When fairly turned nbout and headed for deep water, Bho begins to oxert her own tro mendlous propelling power, and proudly moves out towards tho open sea, guinea oy tho skillful hands of tho pilot who remains on board until well oir tho i-oast, his leaving of tho ship, bearing our messages back to tho shoro, seems tho last Incident of our depart ure Tho Inexperienced passenger, If ho should sail on a sultry day, in tho early sum mer, Is almost certain to miscalculate tho chango of temperature to which ho may bo subjected. Ordinary forethought will prompt him to wear Borvlcablo clothing too heavy for comfort on shore, and as an extra precaution ho will tako a suit or two of warm llannels, hero, In his niixlety to bo rid of superfluous luggogo, ho will probably draw tho lino. Ho will sollloqulzo In this vein, "Tho mild, ocean breezes will bo just an ngreeablo chango, and tho warm woolens will afford ample protec tion from chill and dampness," and so It may bo, but perchance 'oro long, as tho continent nnd Its accumulated radiating heat recedes, chill breezes may bo wafted from off tho Icy mountains of Greenland, which, together with tho dampness, will plerco his very marrow. Tho veteran voyagers nbout tho deck will bo seen muflled with ulsters and soft rugs, but tho novice, so lately sweltering In tho crowd ed city, longing for tho coolness of tho ocean, if ho bo not driven below at once, essays to pace tho deck, which, as a recreation Is scarce ly moro pleasurablo than promenoding tho aisle of a Pullman coach In motion. Ills next rofugo will probably bo tho leeward sldo of tho ship, as near as posslblo to tin funnels, where warm air Is radiated from below. Here ho can warm each sldo alternately whllo the other Is oxposod to an eagor "and nipping air," his foot, meanwhilo, becoming numb nnd clammy, adding not a llttlo to his discomforts. Tho ordinary leather shoes aro certainly not the proper foot-covering for shipboard woar. Tho Bait moisture of tho ocean air has u close affinity for tho leather, and resides In its every flbro during tho entire voyage. If wind and wave subsldo, u thick fog usu ally arises, obscuring oven the monotonous expanso of wuter, and deepening tho already quickened seuso of Isolation. Soon a fresh terror, a souud, shrill, dhcordant, startling and unexpected from tho fog horn, in closo proximity, 6ends a shudder through the list ener, and Its momentary blast nnd tho gath ering gloom of night, will have the effect of sending him below to tho salon, there to tempt the fnllbjHVppetlto or find diversion in games or muling. Tho heavy ocean air in clines to somnolence, and reluctance for tho exertion nnd dlscomforU of getting settled for tho night, onco overcome, sleep, soothing all Ills, conies soon, but If wakefulness Inter veno before morning's dawn,tho slowly return ing consciousness is sometime startled and torrlfled by mysterious sounds. If seas oro high, tho crest or nn occassional wavo as weep along tho lower deck does not add coniosuro and tho rushing of nlr along boiiio ventilating shaft becomes, in tho excited Imagination, a resistless stream from tho ocean, pouring Into tho depths of tho ship, shrill and doleful calls and slgnols of tho olllcors and seamen, adjust ing tho sails and rigging, souud like cites of distress. Tho sleeper, thoroughly awakened at lost, persuades himself thut ho has been tho victim of delusions, unci if tho morning light should bring calm weather ho hurries on deck, whore reeking moisture provndes everything. If later on, tho sunshlno struggling through curling vapors, drives tho mists from tho waters, tho grateful waimth Imparts genlalty to such lis uro not depressed by qualms of sickness. It is then, If over, that there Is pleasure In tho sensations of tho voyager and pleasure In tho prospect Tho sea, vast and solemn, In Its uwfcl power Is yet full of sud den motion and beauty of color, Its rippling surface, under tho sunlight, ever varying In tint, from nzuro to bright green, and foam of purest white. The water m.iy bo observed with unceasing Interest. Along the sides of the ship, tho wave formed liy her prow nro over curling gracefully, their crests breaking, fall nnd cury particles of air Into tho water, changing Its color to a creamy whitened until thu mluuto bubbles rise again and bund. Tho water of tho ocean, seldom, If ovor, settles to a perfect level. Its biirfncu may be of glossy smoothness, but there will bo niajes tlo swelling motion, In con fori nation not un like a gently rolling prnh le. Koou a sudden breeze or puling ship may agitato tho (pilot water Into narrow rippling wavelets. When far out at see, tho unaided vision seldom des cries a living thing beyond tho confines of tho ship, other craft do not often pass in sight and water fowl rarely apcar in mid ocean. Sometimes a small object, seemingly a bird, will bo soon to flit from wavo to wavo and disappear beneath. Tho only fish of consid erable size that leaves lu native elomont, is tho sportlvo porKlso. Swimming In pairs, as if to promonodo tho ocean, thoy leap abovo tho waves at Intervals, descending in graceful curvos. Hack or lln of other fWh or inarlno animal is rarely scon nlwvo tho surfaco of tho wntor, but if tho oyo could penotrnto lU depths, what teeming llfo might bo disclosed. Tho wionl beauty of tho moonlit ocean will not fall to fascinate tho appreciative lieholdor. Lot him look along tho "silont sea'' toward tho full moon near tho horizon. Tho Bllvery re flection of tho lunar disc in tho moving waters, far as tho oyo can reach, nppears a broad athway of shimmering rndlanco, fashioned for angel feet. Ton cannot adequately portray or brush of artist picture a sceno liko that. Tho passengers and crow of a well-laden Atlantic steamer, form nn nswomblngo of tier sons, probubly more diverse lu individuality than could bo found elsewhere, and yet brought near each other In symjiathy by tem porary Isolation from the outside world, con sequently tho opKrtiinlties nro favorable for a comparison and study of somo of tho vnri ous phases of character, tho predominant traits of which are usually Intensified by tho conditions present. The casual observer and tho student of human nature cannot fnll to bo amused nnd Instructed, as no experience is more apt to disclose tho "trtio Inwardness" of thoso on board than tho ocean voyage, especi ally if It bo a tempestuous ono.

TRAVEL IN FOREIGN LANDS, Llncolnttc and Naliranknit Hnvo Caught tho Foreign Travel Crate. HowBtntcly nnd grand does tho ship nppcar as it leaves its lauding nnd tho gay ity behind to outer tho great world of water, nnd seemingly nlono goes on Ita travels on tho bosom of tho great briny deep. I ho last handshaking nt tho dock nnd tho waving of tho hntidkorchlof from tho distance lu tho iort, cuu off nil that is near and dear to ouo. Ne cessity, as well as nature in mankind, brings us Into closo companionship with those who we hnvo novor soon liofore nnd of whom wo lmd no Idea of ovor meeting. Hut those pleas ant associations bring man nnd limn together on ouo level, when away from friends, homo and country; tho millionaire and honorary meet mid mnko friends with tho honest nnd well-to-do, and during tho voyngo many fires of friendship that seldom die, are made nnd fostered. Tho passengers rorni ono common family and before that foreign shore is looked upon, many are tho pleasant entertainments that are enjoyed. Music at Intervals nils tlio air, dancing delights nil, theatricals please tho tho auditors ami plenty to cat. ami tirniK, makes llfo on the ocean n most happy exist ence. Mntiy suppose, mm ociiovo urom wimt somo one lias told them) thut Trnus-Atlantla travel Is by no moans pleasant. Such, wo want to Impress iion our patient reader, is not tho case by any moans. Sauntering nbout town yesterday for nows. it CouiUKli scribe called lu to see City Pusscii enger Agent Zlemer, corner Tenth nnd O streets nnd soon tho conversation switched onto ocean travel. "Whnt aro tho pros jiects," queried tho reorter, "for ocean travel fromnmongLlncoinitosino coming season!" "Well," said tho ticket man, "I sent several hundred iieopla over Inst spring and summer nnd now already, notwithstanding the upfr ont earllness of tho season, I hnvo booked over fifty persons who will will for foreign pnits in oarly spring tlnio. You boo water travel Is vastly different from whnt It used to bo. Where wo used to ticket ono person ncross nbout onco a month, now wo ticket fifty or more in the snmo tlnio, nnd ro great Is tho de mand for desirable localities that you can't order too far ahead." "Where do most of tho people got" was next queried. "Oh, tho points of interest vary, depending entirely for whnt puroso the trip Is made. If they go for pleasure, many souk tho refreshing nnd delightful Ger man resorts Of UarlosiNtil, Hnilou-baden and ji&rw&?.

Thoso were all eutour and nil returned speaking of their journeys as being among tho most pleasant Incidents of their lives." "About historical travols; no you ticket pooplo as far as the noted points lu Kgypt and other parts of opial proiulneneoi" "Why, certainly," said zealous Zlumor, "of course I do," and producing a book nnd running his Indox finger down bovernl pages said: "Why, I havo sent out all thoso within the hut two years and tho pooplo are orfoctly delighted and infatuated when thoy return. Of course such trips nro long but by our new routes to Egypt, I can givo thorn a round trip ticket from Lincoln to Jerusalem soiiding tliom by way of the cut off, (I don't moan the Ashland cutoff, although that Is included if desired) via Joppa, on tho Medltcrunlan, thus saving several hundreds of miles travel. You would bo surprised at tho way people travel lu tho-! countrlos in thoso days.

The play was deprived of none of its brilliancy however us Mr, Davis was not missed during tho evening, "Ono of the Old Block" reminds ono n great (leal of "Alvln Jostyn," being on tho snmo order and termi nating lu about thu saiuo manner.

Tho play abounds In striking situations, and nffonM ample opportunity for the different members of tho troupe to render their jxirts in such u way ns to command tho attention of thu en tire nudleiico.

It was tho Intention of tho man agement to present "Olivette," but owing to the fact that two of tho leading ladles, or more properly spunking, "Misses," did n nrrlvo In tlnio, "Tho Mikado" was put on in Its place.
