— AN ATHENS BO'/ CROSSES THE BRINY BLUE WATERS. AN INTERESTING LETTER Ir. Jamie Camak Wandering In the Old World—What he Saw on the Ship, and In London. THE RICHMOND TERMINAL COMPANY AND ITS TROUBLES. The Atlanta Constitution of Sun day and Monday contains two spe- | cial telegrams relative to the trials | and tribulations of the Terminal Company in Wall Street, which an about as “cunningly devised fables” and as artful dodges as could well be penned.

A long, low swell of the water caused the vessel to pitch, and by night ail the passengers except myoeif and about ten otberB were down sick. It is amusing to see th«*m. A man will turn pale, walk about uneasily with a most melancholy appearance, and then run to the side of the vessel ami stay there a short time, and then go below. The next day everybody was better and all on deck. Then the wind changed, and the vessel instead of Ditching, roll ed from side to side, and down they all went" again. N-xt morning they were all U P again, and again the wind changed, and we bad a combination chop sea, tbe vessel rolling and pitching at the same time, and they all went below again. Neither nor —were at dinner, and 1 could not find them anywhere for some time. When I came across them they looked rather dejected and refused some bananas I offered them. It is so cold it is nearly freezing, if we are forward on deck the wind cute like a knife, and on after deck there io an unpleasant smell from the engines. The sides are filled with sea-sick and bPlow is close and stay in front ai.d freeze man in our stateroom is a young Norwegian, a very pleasant fel low. This is his seventeenth voyage to foreign countries. Off tbe banks of New Foundland we had dense fog and intense cold for seveial days, we passed vessels nearly every day, and have seen whales twice, and por poises several times. In mid-Atlantic one of,our passengers (an Irishman) died, and was buried a’ sea, there was a dead calm on the ocean at tbe time, but tbe sailors said we were going to have a storm because we had had a funeral. Sure enough the wind began to blow, and by night was blow ing such a gale we could hardly stand, and tbe waves washed over the ship. 1 was on the after deck when a wave came over the front deck and wet everybody there, then a big one went across the main deck and wet every one there even the captain on the bridge. I was enjoying all this looking on when a tremendous wave came over the deck where I was, and gave us soaking, and I did not enjoy it any more. The guards were all up at the tables in the diningroom, but in spite of it, the dishes and plates went emigra ting in various directions. That night the gale increased, and we h"d to hold on with both hands to ctay in our berths. Th*re were four small, and five large valises in our stateroom that kept traveling from place to place, and a sofa and a trunk in tbe next room cut the same capers. The door of tbe stew ards pantry next to us flew open, and a crash of crockery and tinware added to the racket. There was such a noise you could hear nothing, next day it was calmer. We are now off the Irish coast and expect to land tomorrow. The people on board are mostly Scotch, Irish and English, and some Americans.every one takes me to the Scotch,and ask if I am from Glasgow or Edinburgh. GLASGOW.

London, July 26.—We are now in London after having been through the Highlands of Scotland and seen Loch Lomond. Ben Lomond and many other Loches and Bens (including Been Gongal in prices). We have seen Stirling castle, Edinbor- ougb, Melrose abbey, Carlisle, Man- chcster, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham and Oxford, old ruins, etc. Saw the Highland Regiment at Edinborough. In London we have seen be. Paul’s ohuroh,^Westminster,Parliament houses, Hyde park, Trafalgar square, etc., aud White Chapel from the top of an omni bus. We will be here a week and then go to Paris. I like the English very much. You should see tbe nobility out riding with their doge in their Ups, or havuyc their footmen taking the dogs out for an airing in Hyde park. We traveled through Scotland with some very pleasant Boston people. A boy named Smith, about my size, and his sister, a little older, and their uncle a funny old man, and a Mr. Ross, just graduated from Harvard. Their party and ours just filled a section on the rail road oars and two seats on stage coach. I have seen no fruit since I left Ameri ca except strawberries. They were high priced but delicious.
