Dear News— After procuring a comfortable landu and a pair of strong horses, we started at 6 o’clock a. m. from Ragatz for a two days drive over the steep mountains and through the deep volleys of the Hchyn and Julier passes, to the up per valley of the Engadine. It was a most recompensing drive. Out first stopping place was the cathedral town of Coire, situated upon the Rhine, A two honres rest afforded us ample time to visit the old ca¬ thedral and wander about among its tombs. The oldest part of the church was built w the year 400, while the body dates from 800. The verger took pleasure in displaying the treasury, and some curious old tapestries were brought to light, al¬ so a magnificent gold drinking cup covered with precious stones of im¬ mense size, representing a princely fortune in itself. The skulls of saints with huge rubies and sapphires com¬ pletely filling the sockets and glow¬ ing like living things, bishop’s robes embroideried in seed pearls, to¬ gether with crowns, scepters and maces of solid gold, dazzled our eyes and caused a secret regret in onr breasts that so mdch wealth should be hidden away from the world so fall of poverty, and kept to enrich a church. We next stopped at Thusis for a night’s rest, and taking another car¬ riage while our horses were resting for our next day's journey, we drove for two hours along the Via Mala pass, the most beautiful little bit of scenery in the Alps. Nature seemed here to have surpassed herself, for never have we seen anything to com¬ pare to this gorge. In penetrating that pass one is surprised at the sad¬ den transition from a bright sunny daylight to that of a subdued shad¬ owy light. The rocks rise perpendic¬ ularly about 500 yards on either side, and we pass through a tunnel hewn out of the solid rock which is 50 yards in length. The narrow sombre gorge presents a singular beauty and grandeur, while always the river Nola flows with a rushing sound in the lowest depths of the gorge. Resuming out journey the follow¬ ing day,at the early hour of 7 o’clock, we drive all day through the Julier pass, crossing a magnificent stone bridge said to be the highest in Eu¬ rope, from which we amused our¬ selves by casting large stones into the Rhine below and counting the seconds it took for each rock to reach the water with a cannon-like report. At 7 o’clock p. m. we reached St. Moritz, after a delightful drive through the valley of the upper En¬ gs dine, which is the loftiest and most extensive valley of the Alps, and whose numerous districts are always inhabited. It is situated between gigantic and imposing rocks, about 6000 feet above sea level, and has several almost town-like villages upon its Idvely and clear reflecting Alpine lakes, with luxuriant green meadows sprinkled with flowers and contrasting strangely with the dark green of its pine forests, and with the stiff majestic sublimity of the glaciers towering above. The whole is a true representative of Alpine scenery and makes an everlasting impression .upon every admirer of the beauties of nature, and particu¬ larly upon those who enter through the sublime Julier pass. Thelan- gungeof the natives of the Eugadine is termed Romanisb aud resembles greatly that of its neighboring state, the Italian. Nearly in the middle of the Eugadine valley, a lit¬ tle below its principal town, St. Moritz, the valley is divided by a crossing ridge into natural halves, the characters of which differ in agrij culture. The upper part from the lovely little village of Maloja down¬ ward to St. Moritz is almost entirely covered with beautiful blue lakes abounding in fish, and connected to¬ gether by the river Inn, like a string of pearls encircling the throat of the mountains, each reflecting the wild and majestic base of the rocky pyra¬ mids that rise above. The vegeta¬ tion extends 9000 feet above the usual height of vegetation in other valleys on account of the pure and balmy air, The Flora presents rare and. beautiful plants scarcely to be met with elsewhere and the Engadine is the paradise of botanists. The characteristic extremes of the climate show themselves from time to time, for they often have light show falls in midsummer, while during the hot noonday hours there is always an agreeable cooling current of air, and oyffftg to the intense light of the sun, clad hills and glittering asvifi Rosatsch is foui the of peak the fnrfatned'Tron and by is the Springs,” contain- near , ing numerous bsa“ |he aod bath- the ing apartments. m —------- bridge Cur-place road leads over a and gently ascends to the village, hotels which is lined with handsome and shops, lively ai on we which enjoy a lovely all sides, and the im rise on posing beads wreath of venerable snowy look in the also background, the while emerald we down upon lakes and baths as beautifully situ- ated in the valley.
