EnrroK TKIHUNK : Thin k i n u that a few notes of my visit to Norfolk , Va. , and the Jamestown Exposition may be of interest to those who contemplate taking the trip later , and to those who will not tfo , I will say that Eastern railroads have little con sideration for the comfort and convenience of the ordinary trav eler , and unless yon submit to the extortionate demands of the Pullman car company you will find the opportunity to become soiled with coal smoke , dust and dirt increased 200 per cent while the conveniences for keeping clean have disappeared. On leaving Chicago over the Pennsylvania lines for Columbus , Ohio , the soap , towels and mir rors of the Burlington cars look llight and on the Norfolk & Western , on crossing the Ohio river , the lavatory and water disappeared and soot , dust and smoke filled the cars and incident ally in our ears , eyes and around our necks. I merely asked a brakcman if I could find a place to wash somewhere along their road and his reply was : "Yes , you can stop off and go to a hotel. " Hut to the one who ex pects to go I say don't mind it ; keep going , as you will be so amply repaid at the destination that these discomforts will be born with only a small growl and a large amount of thankful ness that you live in the free and uuissim WKSY. On reaching Norfolk you will discover that the bountiful 25 cent meal of your home town has not arrived , and if you brought your appetite with you and sat isfy it there , the figures may run all the way from 50 cents to $1.50. But don't blame those people too severely ; they are in an impoverished land cpmpara- tively speaking , and the beef , pork , butteri flour and canned goods they use haye been pro duced in the great west and the cost is way up. I found first- class hotels and service the cheap est , but the city is filled with people who have gone there to gather shekels from the visitors and wherever extortion is prac ticed Jt is not by the citizens "proper as 1 found them a courte ous hospitable people who would scorn a meanness in any form. The exposition grounds are eight miles from the city ; by street car fare 10 cents , and nine miles by boat , fare 15 cents one way , 25 cents round trip , and the service is very goftd. Boats sail ing every thirty minutes and cars leaving every five minutes. The grounds are level , ample , and on the seashore , interspersed with tall trees and small ones that gives it a landscape appearance that is very pleasing to the eye. The view at the water front is very inspiring1 and a source of never ending delight to the visi tor from the interior. The mul titude of small craft darting here and there , the larger craft en gaged in trade , both sail and iteam by the dozen , and the loiij jhapcl } ' war ships in their glist tiling white paint , indicative o peace , and turrets and battle incuts pierced by long slim riflc < Ljuns , showing that we are alsi prepared for anything else tha may be necessary. The" management was cmbar rassed early in the season by lad jf funds but that has been over : omc and by July 1st evcrythinj A'ill be in place and the visitor : omfortably provided'for ; but tin Warpath is all there with all tin features of former expositions mprovcd upon and rcpainlcd , to jfcther with many schemes of th subtile savage that are new , am lie is engaged in skinning am scalping the unwary pilgrim wh ventures within his domain wit ! loud acclaim and demoniacal glc beside which the war whoops o the aborigines is silence itseli. The exposition however is enl ane of many things to be see : iind historic spots to be visited Yorktown where the Revolution ; iry war closed and the haught Lord Cornwallis delivered hi sword to General Washingto and England's power on this let ritory disappeared , is one that n nne should miss. The trip b steamer is made every other day fare 81.00. Jamestown Islan where Captain John Smith an his little band implanted th English language upon this coi ; tinent and established the woi ship of God , the evidence c which still remains in the ol zhurch tower , the church bavin ; recently been restored. T h walls of the new standing eigli teen inches outside the foundn tions of the old to preserve them is another spot that none shoul fail to visit. The island is jus above tide water and is nearl fifty miles from Norfolk. Th river is a noble stream , bein seven miles wide at its mouth an four miles at the island. Th trip is a very enjoyable one , far $1.00. Don't forget to visit Cap Henry and stand face to fac with the Atlantic , and then in : agine a band of pilgrims landin , on that desolate and inhospitabl shore. Be sure to walk up to th crest of the great sand drift tha is slowly creeping inland , covei ing a yast forest of giant pine fifty feet deeper than the topsc the tallest. The trolley cat make the trip easy and comfori able for the visitor. Fare , roun trip , 40 cents. I visited the U. S. navy yard n Newport News and saw som cannon used in the revolutionar war both on sea and land ; als some that did good service in tli war of 1S12 and still others di their part in the civil war , bi are now obsolete. I also had tli satisfaction of "going on boat Admiral Dewey's flag ship. , tl : Olymphia , and saw the plac where he stood that memorab ! morning in Manilla bay when 1 : said "You may fire when you ai read ) ' , Gridley , " and saw the gut that sounded the death knell < the fleet of proud Castile. I als saw two submarine boats in tl : waters of the docks looking liki giant catfish. I also saw OIK out of the water and secured : barnacle from her side to brinj. home as a souvenir. I was mucl interested in the new dry docl they arc building. It will be tin largest in the world and wil j dock two of our largest war vessels sols at the same time , it beinj 1,000 feet long inside clear. Another thing I saw that wai strange to a dweller on tin prairie was a peculiar shapec thing of cast iron , and upon in quiry was informed that it wa : an anchor for a battle ship an < weighed seventeen and one fourtl tons. I was also shown througl the new coast defense monito Nevada from coal bunkers t < bridge , and after being takci around through dark or diml ] lighted passages , tortuous pass ages and shown this and tha with unfamiliar nautical names and very pronounced nautica odors , we at last got to sonn thing that again connected u with earth. The odor of boilitif cabbage and potatoes. Bu again the sea stepped in , the ; don.'t call it kitchen but "galley" and 1 want to say that I unde stand more about a threshinj machine or grain elevator in fivi minutes than I would of one o : these adjuncts of our National greatness in six months. There is the old ship Concord a noble relic of our woodei navy , tied to a pier shorn of he : spars and riggings housed eve and used as a receiving ship where the boys from the intcrio are trained to walk a deck , wea : sailor clothes in proper style and hitch up their breeches b ] the waist band and say , "aye aye , sir" , before being pu aboard a real war ship and sent t < sea. T also saw at Newpor News pier the largest sailing vessel afloat. The seven mastet schooner Thos. W. Lawton 45 ( feet long , drawing 20 ft. whei in ordinary cargo. The sailors were climbing around through or perched ii her rigging preparing her fo sea , and looked like a lot o ; black birds in the branches of ; Ncmaha Cottonwood. I was one of a party that wen on a side trip to Petersburg am Richmond , Va. There was ; time when going to Richmom was a difficult and hazardous un dertaking for the citizen of Ne braska and of many other state also , but now the going is com fortable and speedy. As we nearei Petersburg the conductor said t a few of us , "come to the rea platform and I will show you th line of intrenchments and rill pits in defenseof Petersburg ii ' ( 4 and ' 65. As we passed bacl through the car Col. Jewell o Omaha , who by the way wor the blue during the troublou days said , "what is it , " and said , "come on it is the line o defense of Petersburg" wher upon the Colonel replied , " know all about the d d plac I had to run like h 1 to ge away from there. " We were met at the station bj a committee and escorted to tin state capitol where addresses o welcome were delivered in tin room where the ordinance o secession was passed , and tin freedom of the city was temleret us by the Heutcnent governoi and mayor and we went sigh : seeing. I visited the monument ! erected by the South to J. E. B , Stewart andJeffersonDavis whicl' have just been unveiled will great gatherings of people of tlu south and I sec by the papers that the occasion was embellisher by the presence of Mr. and Mrs W. Bryan. I also visited the olc' house one story high built oi cobble stones on Main stree : where Gen. Washington had hi : head quarters for a time , alsc the St. John's Church when Patrick Henry delivered his fain otis address. I also visited the house when Mr. Davis lived during the life o the confederacy which is now used as a confederate museum one room being set apart for tlu relics of each state. In the bacl yard resting on a large stone a either end is the wheel shaft o the famous Merrimac which is r ponderous thing 14 inches ii diameter and over 30 ft. long On our return to Norfolk . ' soon found oportunity to yisi Fort Monroe and the one stronj : hold of Uncle Sam at the door : of the Confederacy. I see the : arc tearing down the casemate ! put up of 3 feet of brick covere < with 3 feet of stone to protec the men and ammunition during bombardments in former days bu which arc'an element of claiige : now as modern guns would tea them to pieces easily and kill am maim mail } * more by flying frag mcnts than by the shot itself A party' of us were shown tin mechanism and operation of : giant 12 inch rifle disappearing gun. 46 feet long , the counter poise of which weighs 70 ton ; and which hurls a 1000 pound : steel projectile with force sufii cient to pierce ( J inches of anne steel at a distance of six miles which leads one to think that tin issue of battle is not determine ! by the armor carried but by tin accuracy and rapidity of lirinj as a ship cannot carry armor en ough to protect her. We crossei ancient moat 50 feet wide fillet with water 10 feet deep on ; small bridge and entered th < grounds of the fort which seen more like the spacious park am lawns of some gentleman's estati than devoted to the purposes oi war. A couple of nines were busy upon the diamond setting thei respective merits in a game o base ball , and as we walket around the battlements and sav the silent guns and looked at tin gay throng of ladies and childrei looking on at the game we coult not refrain from saying Blessec is Peace , may she long abich with us. I was shown one room oc cupied by Jefferson Davis during his stay here after his capture a ; the close of the war , and I mus say it has nothing of the aspec of a prison about it , but rathei like the quarters of some persor who was there attending to busi ness , but at that time perhaps Mr. Davis had no particular busi ness to attend to and he woul < have been glad to be any when else among his friends. Now Tribune I hope I hay < not over stepped the bounds o space , and will wish that all wlu turfy visit Norfolk this summe : will have as pleasant a time ai Yours Truly , II.

Hutnboldt Leader. Resolution. There is great power in a rcso lution that has no reservation ir it a strong , persistent , tenacious purpose which burns all bridge ; behind it and which clears all ob stacles from its path and arrives at its goal , no matter how lonp it mav take , no matter what the sacrifice or the cost. The inspiration of a great posi live aim transforms the life , rc\- olutionizes a shiftless , ambitionless - less , dissapated , good-for-nothing man , as if some divine energy had worked in him , as love some times transforms a shiftless , slov enly , brutal , coarse , good-for- nothing man into a cleanly , methodical , diviner being. When the awakening power o : a new purpose , a resolute aim is born in a man , he is a new crea ture. lie sees everything in t new light ; the doubts , the fears the apathy , the vicious tempta tions which dogged his steps bu yesterday , the stagnation whicl had blighted his past life , all vanish as if by magic. Thcj are dispelled by the breath of : new purpose. Beauty a n ( system take the place of unsight lincss and confusion. Orde reigns in the place of anarchy All his slumbering faculties awaken to activity. The effec of this new ambition is like tlu clearifying change made by : water way in a stagnant , swanipj district. The waterclearilies ai soon as it begins to move , to d < something , flowers spring up ii place of poisonous weeds , am vegetation , beauty , birds am song make joyous the once mias miatic atmosphere.
