Up the Susquehanna.
Travelling noithward on the Northern Central railroad the tourist reaches the isusquebanna at York Haven at the nar¬ rowest and deepest part of one of the broadest rivers in the United States. The **falls" or rapids at this point are noted fn the annals of Pennsylvania before tbe days of canals and railroads. Forty years before tbe Revolution these rapids were recognized as tbe most dangerous places on tbe stream to navigation by   small craft.   The  first settlers   up the river, following the example of  the  Indians, transported their sroods and merchandise in "battoes" or "dugouts" made from the timber in adjoining forests.   When the upper Susquehanna, the   VVest Branch and the historic Wyoming Valleys be- came settled and the rich alluvial soil cultivated,  nature yielded abundantly, and the industrious settlers soon raised corn,   wheat   and   potatoes    in    large quantities.   These products were   then floated down the Susquehanna in fiatboats and merchandise brought back on tbe re¬ turn trip.   The "Conewago falls" were Btill the great barrier to the successful Accomplishment of the work, and hence a canal one mile in length was construct, ed at Vork Haven around these rapids be¬ tween   1790 and   1793.   The  canal  was opened amid great demostrations.   Goy. Mifflin and part of the State Assembly were  present  on   that occasion.   They came over on horseback from Lancaster which was then the Capital of Pennsyl¬ vania.   The State appropriated consider- | was an able money toward constructing it.   It was the first canal built in the State and the second in the Union.
Shrewd Philadelphia merchants soon after the opening of the canal erected grist mills, then known as the "Conewago Mills," and began to manufacture flour iu large quantities out of the grain brought down the Susquehanna from the fertile valleys above. Ten years later the mills were purchased and enlarged by a company of Baltimore capitalists and the valuable water power put into effective use. It was intended by tbe Baltimoreaus to divert all the trade of Central Pennsyl¬ vania to their town. They built tlie largest mills in the State aud for a time ' were as noted as the "Rochester mills"of' a later date. They planned tbe town of | York Haven, wbich they hoped to make a large city and a busy mart of trade. Large hotels were built and many wealthy people spent the summer there.
In tbe meantime tbe Union canal was opened, diverting much of the commerce of the Upper Susquehanna to Philadel¬ phia from Middletown Avhich then be¬ came the "port of entry" for the heavily- loaded flat-boats that came down the river. Middletown prospered, and soon aft^r 1815 the glory of York Haven faded. The York Haven Mills were run for a score of yearg with varied success, until one of them, together with 40,000 bushels of wheat, was totally destroyed by fire in 1835.
The old town of York Haven, would have rivalled York in importance and influence, had the Keystone State never been traversed by long canal and rail¬ roads.
"Its name and prospective growth were discussed all through Northern and Central Pennsylvania eighty years ago," said au intelligent old gentlemen to me a few days ago at Williamsport.
Lafayette paid his respects to Y'ork Haven iu 1824 when visiting this country. He stopped for a short time at the large hotel, then crossed the river and passed up to Harrisburg on the other side.
Above York Haven the river expands to nearly two miles in width. It resembles a small bay In 1835 Gen. Lewis Cass, then a member of Andrew Jackson's cabinet, was on his way to the capital of Pennsylvania. He attempted to cross the river at this place. The ferryman got iost in a dense fog and for several hours tried in vain to reach the opposite shore. Both he and bis distinguished passenger were in constant fear of drifting into the rapids below. They called long and loud for assistance. At length a sturdy fisher¬ man came to their rescue and piloted them safely to the Eastern bank of tbe stream. It was a perilous adventure for the Michi¬ gan statesman, as on several occasions they came nearly drifting into the rapids below.
Turning tbe curve ab»>veGoldsboro the rapidly moving train, a few minutes later, is passing the site of a large, old time mansion immediately below the village of ^ew Market.   It is the Haldemau estate Within the bounds of Y''ork county.   It 4a here that Jacob Haldeman lived when President Lincoln appointed him minister to Sweeden and Norway, during the War for the Union.   In the days of the Re- volution and before, this point was the western terminus of the ferry over which nearly all the emigrants to the Cumber- laud and Shenandoah Valleys passed, and was part of a great highway of travel. Gen. Michael Simpson then owned tbis ferry.   He was an .ottlcer in the Revolu- tion, was a captain  in  the expedition BCttinst Canada, and at tbe close of the war retired to his home witb the title of Brigadier General.
It was in 1794 that Washington, then President of tbe United States, was the guest of Gen. Simpson, and spent tbe Sun¬ day there. The President was on bis way to Philadelphia, then the Capital of the nation, on his return from his trip to quell the Whisky Insurrection ia western Pennsylvania.
Gen. Simpson was one of the largest slave holders in York county iu the days when the colored man was held in tbe bondaae of slavery in our State. When one of them died he was buried in the yard of his master. Simpson was a typi¬ cal Scotch Irishman of his day, bold, brave and audacious, rather brusque in manner, but dignified hi his bearing and exercised a commanding influence in the community where he lived.
Speaking on the subject of slavery. I unearthed a fact the other day which will astonish many readers. It is tbis: The flrst Anti-Slavery Society in the United States was formed in Virginia. Inasmuch as it is a matter of record in the State archives there is no doubt of the truth of the statement, A law also was passed by the Virginia Legislature, (at a date I cannot now recall, but as early as 1800) prohibiting tbe importation and sale of slaves from Pennsylvania and other northern States into tbe State.
At the mouth of tbe Yellow Breeches creek, now the site of New Cumberland, was an Indian village in early colonial days. A tribe of the Shawanese, a part of the Great Nation of Delaware Indians, had quite a settlement there. They were friendly to tbe whites and tradition says, it was they who rescued John Harris from being tortured by savage natives.
.lohn Harris, father of the founder of Harrisburg, as the story goes, was captur¬ ed by Indians and tied to a tree along the river immediately in front of the present residence of Gen. Simon Cameron. He Indian trader and had many friends among the natives. About the time he was to be executed in a savage manner, half a dozen sturdy Shawanese protected him from tbe scalping knife and burning fagots and his life was saved. There are other points of interest in Harrisburg. not to be described here. The big "Iiouse on the Hill" to which so many York county statesmen aspire to go next winter, increases in interest to them, I presume, as the time for the nomi¬ nating convention approaches.
If my memory serves me correctly, Simon Snyder was the flrst Governor who as the Executive of the State resided in Harrisburg when it became tbe State Capital. He was a tanner's apprentice on North George street, York, in 1783 and 1784. Students of history will recall bow well he assisted in raising troops to tan the British during the war of 1812 15. He was au ardent patriot, an able Gov¬ ernor and a representative of the Penn. sylvan ia Germans. He ordered many thousands of the Pennsylvania militia to the rendezvous at York in the fall of 1814, when the British were approaching Balti¬ more. Governor Snyder's remains lie in the Lutheran church yard at Selins Grove, where he resided and prospered in busi¬ ness. Tbe State a few years ago erected a handsome monument to his memory.
Tbe fifty miles from Ilarrisburg to Sun- bury by rail, along the Susquehanna, affords very little of interest to the aver¬ age traveller, yet all that region is fertile' with written and unwritten ludian history and tradition and the scenery where Juni¬ ata flows into the larger stream is wildly picturesque. I met an Englishman on board a Hudson river steamer not long| since, and in speaking of the beauties of j the Juniata Valley he warmed up with enthusiasm and interest, It was the second time he had made a pleasure tour though America and he said be had seen "nothing that charmed bim so much as the mountain scenery of Pennsylvania along the great railway lines."
The North and West branches of the Susquehanna unite at a point between Sunbury aud Northumberland, which are three miles apart. A half dozen small steamers ply l)etweea these two towns, the river being navigable for a short dis¬ tance. The West branch valley and the mountains that nearly enclose it, forlialf a century or near it, furnished immense supplies of excellent pine and hemlock timber which was floated down the river in rafts. It is sad to think that most of the valuable timber of that region is cut down, and the glory of Lock Hayen and Williamsport as great centres for the lumber trade, is fast declining.
Passing up the North branch, a narrow and beautiful stream, the D. L. & W. railroad train soon reaches the manu¬ facturing town of Danville. Thomas Beaver, to whom much of the prosperity of this town is due, has recently added new lustre to his name, by erecting a large library building here. He is now spending thousands of dollars for books to furnish it. The library is to be free to all. The founder of this library who has shown his pbilanthrophy in many ways, is au uncle to our present Governor. Unlike most wealthy men, Mr. Beaver has resolved to show his benevolence while he yet lives and thus see that his intentions are carried out.
The State Insane Asylum at Danville is an immense building. Some of the stones with which It was constructed were quarried near Goldsboro in York county.
Berwick, the birthplace of Thomas Bowman, the senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is a town of 3,500 people. The car wheel company at this place employs nearly one thousand men. The Y. M. C. A. library, establish- ed by the owners of the shops, has several thousand volumes of yaluable books.
We are now approaching the historic Wyoming Valley, 80 miles in length, ex- tending from Nanticoke to » short dis- tance beyond Scranton and varying from
six to ten miles in width. To a traveller imbued with a feeling for the historical and poetical, so inseparably intertwined in tbeannalsof this romantic region, abundant opportunity is here afforded. Much has been written in prose and rhyme to commemorate its beauty and lovliness.
The cruel massacre of nearly 300 settlers of this valley by the Seneca Indians and a band of British who came down the Sus¬ quehanna from New York in 1778, was the most inhuman act known to American warfare. It occurred at what is now tbe site of Wyoming village near the centre of the valley. A large monument with the names of the unfortunate dead, inscribed on it was erected here several years ago.
In 1778 there were not more than 1500 inhabitants in the entire valley. There are now more than 250,000. Scranton with her 75.000; Wilkesbarre witb 35,000; Pittston with 15,000; Nauticoke with 11,000; each and all are rapidly increas¬ ing in population. Coal has made them. The Wyoming Valley, for its extent of f territory has doubtless tbe richest anthra¬ cite coal mines in the world. Coal being the mother of manufactures, a lusty brood of industries has recently sprung up in tbe largest towns of the valley. Three immense beds of coal underlie each other and extend across the entire valley. The Mammoth vein ranges from 20 to 60 feet in thickness. You ask, has a considerable portion of this rich trea¬ sure been mined in the half century it has been taken out by the coal companies of this section ? The geologist will tell you that less than seven per cent, of the entire supply has been mined. Now then the immense unsightly piles of culm and refuse from cleaning the coal at the breakers are being sifted and used for fuel in engines and furnaces. The best miners are the Welsh and the Irish. But Huns and Poles and Swedes and Russians are also here in great numbers. You can "go to church in seven languages in Wilkesbarre and Scranton on Sunday," said a witty Irishman the other day. Each nationality strictly adheres to its own religious faith, form of worship, and mother tongue. Tbe Huns or Hungar¬ ians are the lowest specimens of tbe hu¬ man race in tbe coal regions. Tliey eat the cheapest and plainest food, very im¬ perfectly cooked. It costs a IIuu from $1.50 to $2.00 a week to live. He stays iu this country from six to ten years, and then returns to bis native land, hav. ing, iu the meantime, saved enough mo. ney to supply his limited wants the re¬ mainder of his days in the country of his birth. People who come here from other countries never return.
Following the Susquehanna on the Le¬ high Valley and the Erie railroads the scenery is surpassingly beautiful. Tbe river has narrowed down to a mountain stream whose crystal waters here and there mirror ou its placid bosom tbe rapid¬ ly moving train. Dense forests, over- hanging crags, lovely little vallejs and systematically rounded bills afford a va¬ ried and evercbanging interest and charm to the tourist who is a lover of nature. And here is the prosperous and attractive city of Binghampton just beyond the boundary line between Pennsylvania and New York. Lake George, the source of the Susquehanna, is nearly 80 miles farth- er north near the centre of the Empire State.
My thoughts upon closing revert to two facts of history.
In 1779 during the war of tbe Revolu¬ tion a baud of soldiers from York and Lancaster counties marched oyer the same route I have herein described. Near here tbey joined Gen. Sullivan's expe- dition against the Indians of Central New York to avenge tbe atrocities perpetrated on tbe settlers of Wyoming Valley.
In 1825 Captain John Elgar, who after wards distinguished himself as an inven¬ tor, made at tbe shops of Davis & Gard¬ ner, iu West York, the steamboat "Co- dorus." He placed it on the Susquehanna at York Haven and navigated the river to Binghampton. He was received at all towns on tbe way with the greatest en- thusiaam. A brilliant reception was tendered bim at Wilkesbarre. He re¬ turned to Y" >rk with his boat after an absence of four months, fully convinced that the Susquehanna was of little value for  practical   navigation.   He  was the
first to attempt it.

Binghampton, N. Y., May 22,1888.
GovEUNOR Chuucu, of Dakota, on Friday received a telegram announcing great danger of an Indian outbreak at Oelrich, stating that residents and ranch men were leaving. He immediately in¬ formed the War Department, and direct ed Colonel Thornby to proceed to Oelrich and investigate, also instructing Adju¬ tant General Jenkins to have two com¬ panies of militia ready to move at once. The First Regiment of Territorial militia has also been notified. Colouel Thornby on Saturday telegraphed that the scare was started by friendly Indians on Sunday telling ranchers to leave tbe country, as tbe young Indians were going on tbe war¬ path. The women and children have left Oelrich, and the town is wild witb excite¬ ment. General Vilas telegraphed Gover¬ nor Church that all is reported quiet al the Pine Ridge agency, which is twenty miles from Oelrich.
The Merits of the Vestibule Car.
Speaking of the injunction in favor of Pullman Comany, restraining the Wag. ner people from the use of the vestibule attachment, a prominent railroad man said the other day: "The vestibule at¬ tachment is one of the most important of the age toward tbe perfection of ab¬ solute comfort in passenger car construe- tion. Several years ago, when the diningcar was introduced and the practice of prepar¬ ing andserving meals on railway trains in¬ augurated, it was found that timid people, especially ladies and invalids, experienced great difliculty in passing from their seats in the sleeper to the dining car when tbe train was running at a high rate of speed. The open platforms between the cars formed a gulf over which tbey feared to attempt passage in flne weather and which in wind or storm, or both, was impassable to people witb delicate constitutions. If the dining car system waste be a success, tbis objection must be overcome, and tbe Pullman people .set themselves the task of bridging the chasm. In order to ac¬ complish this end tbey evolved and de¬ veloped the idea of the vestibule, and in bringing it into successful usage tbe rail- way companies, as well as their patrons, find that tbe original difliculty has not only been completely overcome, but that a great many other marked advantages have been secured in tbe introduction of tbe vestibule. One striking feature is the additional strength created and distribu¬ ted over the entire train by the close fit¬ ting of the coaches to one another and the consequently increased power to with¬ stand tbe shock of a collision. Telescop. ing is hardly po.ssible in a well equipped vestibule train, from the simple fact that the ste^l frames arrest the force which would drive one car into another. The steadier motion with which tbe closely- united factors of the train are endowed will be readily recognized as a most bene¬ ficial result. This steadiness is noticeable at once, but particularly perceptible to the occupants of upper berths or those who. having tried to read or write in the ordinary car, undertake to do so in a ves¬ tibule train. The vestibules, beside pro¬ tecting the passengers iu passing from end to end of the train, serve the purpose of storm doors to a residence, and prevent the sudden drafts which the opening of an ordinary car door always creates. An¬ other feature, which is prominent from a social standpoint, is the deadening of the noise made by the rapiq revolution of the wheels over the rails, so that conversation may be carried on without in any way straining the voice.
"The constructors of these cars 'build- ed wiser than they knew,' and succeeded in abolishing many of the petty annoy¬ ances that beset the railway traveler, even on the best-equipped roads."
"These cars," he continued, "are as far superior to tbe ordinary coach as the Pullman is to the old-fashioned passenger car. They enhance in a great degree the pleasure and comfort of travel, aud, as tbe learned judge remarked in the deci¬ sion al)ove referred to, they must have proved a startling and successful innova¬ tion or a competing company would not have been so prompt in imitating them. The Pennsylvania's New York and Chi¬ cago Limited Express was the pioneer vestibule train, and tbe enormous popu. larityithas won is the best evidence of public appreciation of its merits."—.W. Y.

Wild Flowers the Fashion.
Wild flowers are the fashion. The city does not usually make so much as a pre¬ tence of caring mnch for the fragile dar¬ lings of the woods, but this season it at least makes believe to prefer their delicate colors and forest odors to the more lux¬ urious tints and sensuous perfume of the hothouse pets. It has gone so far as to demand especial flower receptacles suited to its new favorites, aud tbe latest thing out in porcelain is a dainty shell shaped affair, whose crumpled pink edges shad¬ ing into pale blue or creamery white sug¬ gest, as it stands on lunch or tea table, the little folk of the field for whose beneflt it was designed. There was a blue violet lunch last week, the decorations being formed exclusively of tbe long-stemmed, fragrant, meadow beauties of the colors specifled. The farewell breakfast of a lady off for Europe jvas a yellow meal set out with golden dandelions, as a dating noveliy. a few days ago. A floral wed- ding, to come off next week, will take place in a parlor bowered entirely in the glorious while Cornell, whose banners fl tuut on the hillsides outside the city and along the Hudson everywhere.
