Beautiful Scenes on the Borderland Between Switzerland and Italy-- The Kalis of the Rhine. Lugano, Switzerland, \ August 23,1889.) Dear News —At Chiareuna we again take the train, passing through some very pretty scenery, and reach Coli- co, where we find a steamer upon the beautiful lake of Como, which is situated in a deep vale shut in by Alpine hills, and though bordered by Switzerland, lias none of the characteristics of the Swiss. The style of architecture changes equally with the customs, language and manners of the people, for here one would fancy that he was in the very heart of Italy, while the soft, balmy southern air, the warm tropical sun, the dark, rich beauty of the women, and the lazy, ragged children, all be¬ speak the southern country. Our steamer glided lazily through the hot, sultry air over the still, smooth waters of the clear, reflecting lake, past lovely Italian villas set in gar¬ dens of evergreens; past oldp\eather- beaten convents and ruined castles, stopping at several little villages le fare we reach Menaggio, where we take our seats in the carriage of a narrow gauge railway train, in order to climb the mountain-like hills to reach l’orlezza. From the summit of the hills we have a fine view of the lake of Como beneath, with its fertile shores covered with luxuriant vege¬ tation and dotted with villages and fine old country houses. Our train then began to descend, and we went downward always until we reached Polezza, where we again take a steamer to reach Lugano, which is situated upon a lake of the same name. Lugano is a village of about six thousand inhabitants, and is most charmingly situated. It offers many excursions to the traveler. The town, with its arcades and its shops of merchandise in open air, has alto¬ gether an Italian character; its hills are covered with vineyards and its quays are bordered by old shade trees with numerous cooling foun¬ tains underneath them, and near the quay rises a fine statue of William Tell. The old church of St. Maria des Ange has the entire Passion scenes painted upon its ceiling by Luini. There are many lovely prom, enades and parks, and across the lake one can make many delightful excursions. The Grotto of Osteno particularly merits a visit; it is about ten minutes’ walk from the village of Osteno, and is reached by a footh-path or terrace of planks built upon the side of the rocky wall and loading to a, pavillion, from which the guide pushes off a boat and rows close under a cataract fall¬ ing over the high rocks, with a nar¬ row gorge between the walls of rock whhich almost close overhead. So narrow is the passage that scarcely can our little boat wind its way the through the labyrinthine passes of cool, dark ravine, until we reach the end, from which a beatiful silvery cascade falls in torrents from the rocks far above our heads, breaking in a fine spray around us, making a pleasant contrast to the hot, scorch¬ ing atmosphere outside the caves. We retrace our steps to Lugano, and there make preparations to re¬ turn to Zurich by the great St. Goth- aril railway, which is considered the grandest triumph of engineering skill of the nineteenth century. The stupendous chain of mountains be¬ tween Central Europe and the sunny land of Itally has for centuries been crossed by the St. Gothard pass, a simple carriage road, until this railroad was built recently. From these cloud capped heights the mightiest Alpine ranges converge, and from them descend streams which, insignificant at first, soon swell into great rivers that empty their waters into different seas. In' order to ob¬ tain an idea of the grandeur of the St. Gothard group, we must climb to a point in the mountains scarcely ac¬ cessible save to the mountain eagle, or content ourselves with the view from The one of its of neighboring human peaks. only sign life is on the long serpentine road, and within the walls of the Hospice.

In olden times, when Rome ruled the world, the lust of conquest led the Romans to cress the Alps into Helvetia. At a very early epoch the French and German traders took their merchandise across the Alps, notwithstanding be the hardships and the peril fatigues to life to rendered Undergone, the and passage a most hazardous undertaking; while at some seasons of the year the roads were impassable, and it has only been during could the 19th the century that travellers cross range with¬ out danger. The St. Gothard rail¬ way has made more than one breach in the snowy ramparts, and it now gives mountain easy and chain rapid transit between across Italy the and Switzerland, which had always been an intolerable obstacle to com¬ mercial intercourse between north and south. Before proceeding to take our tickets upon this route, I will try and give you some idea of how and by whom it was built. Af¬ ter a lively discussion of the question whether the work should be under¬ taken by the Government or left to private enterprise, the Feder¬ al Councic finally decided in 1852 in favor of the latter alternative. Then there were persistent demands for the road across the Alps, and in Janua¬ ry 1861 the partisans of the St. Gothard elected a committee of five, which went to work with great ener¬ gy and make engaged an engineer from Zu¬ rich to a sketch of the projected railway. In August, 18G3, the St. Gothard Union and the two largest Swiss ra ilway companies too k posses¬ sion of all the documents of the or¬ iginal committee, and in 1869 Prus¬ sia granted Then a subvention in aid of the line. followed a treaty be¬ tween Switzerland, Italy and the German empire in 1871, so that real¬ ly the St. Gothard company was only formed at Lucerne in 1871. The work of constructing the great tunnel between Govehenen and Airolo was intrusted to the talented contractor Louis Favre, of Geneva, who undertook to complete it in eight years. The <eost of the entire road was of 9,520,000 which English pounds, the half sum was contribut¬ ed by Italy, Germany and Switzer¬ land We now take our ticket and secure our seats in the little train which is drawn by a very powerful engine. After leavinging Luga, Brionico and Taverne are the first stations, and here the entire scenery has a southern character, and the inhabitants of this vale enjoy the reputation of pos- sesing great artistic talent. We pass Bellinzona, a little town which occu¬ pies a most remarkable position, be¬ ing situated between a precipice and an isolated rocky mound in the midst of the valley. The castles os the town, with their ancient walls and towers, are visible at some dis¬ tance. This little town is the key of the valley of St. Gothard. The rail¬ road now passes Biasca, and just be¬ hind the station rises the Pizzo Mag- no, over which the Froda pours in a lovely cascade, while high above the torrent is closed by an arched bridge, near which stands a little chapel overlooking the valley. Before reaching Biasca we see a number of rocks strewn across the valley; thisis the scene of a landslip which de¬ stroyed a little village in 1512. We now reach the ravine of Biascliina, which offered many obstacles in the construction of the road, but they were overcome by several turn tun¬ nels, viaducts and bridges. On issu¬ ing from these tunnels we catch [a glimpse of the wild gorges through which dashes the foaming Ticino, and the bold construction of the road here excites great admiration. We now reach Faido, whose houses are low wooden structures built in both Swiss and Italian styles; it has also a few handsome houses of stone, but the beautiful cascades from the gorge of Piumegna to the Ticino are its chi.f glory. The terraces of the mountains are occupied by numerous little villages, and we can follow with the eye the steep, zigzag roads lead¬ ing up to them. We are now at Air¬ olo, and the most interesting part of the road lies from here to aloesehen- en, and leads through the ravine of Schoellen across the Pass. More than one iron cross by the wayside tell of the sudden and terrible death that has overcome some traveler, struck perhaps loosened by a fragment of some rock from the heights above, or buried beneath an avalanche. The great tunnel pierces the mountain side at Goeschenen, and burrows 7000 feet beneath the inhospitable peaks of the St. Gothard mountains, where carriage road passed in olden days. This tunnel is a short cut Reuss connecting with the the valley of the of Ticino, the valley and is one of the mightiest works ac¬ complished in modern times. The tunnel is nine and a half miles long, and was nine years in building. Great was said to have been the re¬ joicing when the telegraph spread the news that the mountain was at length the pierced, but it cost the life of contractor, while Louis Favre, who died inspecting it in the very deepest part. On issuing from the darkness of the tunnel we find our¬ selves with at Goeschenen, in a peaceful mounted vaUey grass grown slopes sur¬ by dark-green fir trees, above which rise snow-capped mountains. In making tunnels, this trip sometimes ws pass through fifty-two com* pletely while under circling the ground, a mountain and top as we issue from them for short intervals we can see. the dense smoke pouring from the mouths of tunnels through which we have below passed the in all direc¬ tions, while road on always mountain side wi ids the down¬ ward, with tunnel-mouths yawning afresh to be entered, and while the ravifes between the mountains far beneath us are spar .led by innumer- able iron bridges, tunnels making a com¬ plete network winding of road. To and the bridges is the sense of pleasure excited mountains by the natural beauties of the and val¬ leys, which feeling meet us at admiration every step, is added a of and wonder at the bold conception and successful execution of such a rail¬ way, threading the wild valleys and piercing the solid granite of the mountains, linking north and south in new bonds of friendship, and open¬ ing in the very heart of the Alps, 7000 feet below’ the penks, a new highway We passed for the quickly nations. the over coun¬ try, not stopping until we readied Sehaffliausen, near the falls of the Rhine, so that we might spend our Sabbath day in that quiet and lovely little suburb known as Neuhausen, just over Gie magnificent Rhine falls. While following the valley of the Rhine we pass through a calm and peaceful landscape of luxuriant pas¬ ture lands alternating with vine¬ yards, and the principal features of the scenery, though wanting in grandeur, are by no means deficient in attractiveness. In nearing Scliaff- hausen the river is of a dark-green color and as clear as crystal. We pass over a well-built iron bridge, which gives us a view of houses and church towers, while the falls are away below us. Schaffhausen is the capital o F the canton bearing the same, name and inhabitants. has a population During of about 12,000 the Thirty Years’ War it was visited by a terrible pestilence, but it is now a great center of industry. The cul¬ tivation of music has been greatly promoted by a school of music and a handsome concert hall, and it also boasts of a fine old organ. The town has an antique and picturesque ap¬ pearance, with its churches of medi¬ aeval architecture and its houses of the Renaissance and “rococo” style erected in the fifteenth century. Every house seems different, having its particular designation or sign. the while age in which they were built, the interiors of the houses are frequently very handsome with with their ceilings work. adorned Rathhaus their stucco The is a building of which some parts date from the fifteenth century, and in the archives is preserved a magnificent onyx, about 4x3 inches, with a carving similar to those of A. I). 09, while the setting of the stone is remarka¬ bly beautiful and dates from the thirteenth century. The chief orna¬ ment to the town is the magnificent river which nature has bestowed upon her. Its waters are still clear, but its surface is no longer placid; its passage is impeded by the rocks in its bed and by darns which have been erected; but the great number of vis¬ itors to the town is attracted thither by the falls of the Rhine, which is one of the most imposing spectacles to be seen in Switzerland. Although the height of the falls is not very great, the immense volume of water makes a profound impression upon the spectator, while his senses are overpowered by the roaring and thundering of the descending flood of waters. Four rocks still stand midway the stream, thus dividing the falls into two masses, and one rock has an ovai cavity in the mid¬ dle through which the waters rush. The highest rock has a landing place with steps, and little boats make their way up the swift current and land passengers. The best view was obtained from Castle Laufen, an old building perched upon a rocky cliff just over the falls and where they can be seen in all their majesty. We had a wonderfully fine view of the falls from above, but the impression was increased a thousand fold upon descending the stone steps of the de¬ clivity to the “Kanzeli,” or project¬ of ing platform fastened to the side the rock, and accessible by means a small tunnel cut through the solid rock and at two-thirds further the height the falls. Descending down to the iron gallery fixed against rock and immediately below principal fall, we stand where sunlit spray forms a succession of bows. Returning to our hotel,which is situated just in full face of the falls, we wandered upon the terrace just when an electric light was upon the waters and the old far above them, making a lovely picture, which changing grew beautiful under the Bengal lights of red and green, which the old structure look like rent Bohemian glass, with a sea fire rushing beneath and breaking in silvery spray around its feet; to complete the grand illumination, fireworks were sent off and high in air above the falls in bou¬ quets of colored lights and dropped their golden sparks into the waters beneath.
