The lea Storm,

Albany, Deo. 27lb, 1883.
It isn’t far to Albany. Moat people
imagine it ia, because it takes ao long to
get theie, but that isn't tha tault of tba
distance. It bod long been a pat idea of
mine to go down, and I had bean on tba
threshold of a start some lalf a dozen
limes, bat not anti! yeelenley did I
manage to reach the place. When yon
get into Albany yon don't start off with
as much style as yon do in America-, for
then ie no four horse omnibus to carry
yon uptown. Tba Barnes Haase bat a
bran new baa, t nt aa I profaned a new
hotel to a new bus I registered at tha Ar
tesian House. Tba Artesian Hones waa
rightly named—why, I will tall you later.
I bad just managed to gat onr names
dawn on the rapidly filling ledger and
gat portly brushed, whan I waa taken in
band by Mr. Ed. Mi ler, tba gculel partner
and manager of tha mechanical pait of
tbe Albany New*. He baa a happy knack
about taking a stronger ia band, and
would make a splendid immigration
agent, or aomathiog of that kind—be
makes yon feel ao warm, welcome and
hnme-like. Well, ha took charge of me,
and after a few introductory pauses, I
made the acquaintance of Editor Mc
Intosh, of the Newe, wboia quits a young
m>n to have tbe raponsibtlitiaa be baa on
bis shoulders. It is needless to say that
my acquaintance with thaaa two gentle-
aa a pleasant one, and to them, in
a great measure, I am indebted for whet
I know of Albany.
Two years ago Albany was a dry place,
although a Hear goes through it. Tbe
water from tba wells was bod and on-
healthy, aud faeer and bilious troubles
were common nnd prevalent. Ta speak
of Albany then was to suggest the fever
and avne.
To-day Albany la one of the hcaltbiect
cities in tha state; ia noted far and wide
for its wonderful, health-giving and
healing waters, and is rapidly filling up
witb Northern tonriai* and families wbo
wish to makw It tbeir future borne.
Tha reason of tha change is thia: Some
one with n bead full of aanaa suggested
boring an artaalan wall tor lbs purpose
of getting pore drinking water. The
matter was agitated, and at last a wall
was started. Of its history the whole
state knows, for tbe resalt wee watched
by thousands of eager eyes. After two
failures, xuccsas waa achieved, and auob
success! Artesian wa'er wot found that
the most expert chemieta pronounced
equal in beating and curative powers to
tbe weters of famous springs, Tba matter
waa not allowed to rest. AfUrn through
teat of tbe water Us bentfioial results
were advertised far and wide. Tba Oity
Council ordered and had primed 8000
pamphlets descriptive of the analysis,
and certificates from tboaa wbo bad bean
benefitted by it, and tbs results is be
ing seen.
Mors walla have been bored, more nr.'
being bond, and it is eatimated that be
fore tbe next year cloaca not lets than a
d non walla will be furnishing water from
hundreds of feat below.
Last summer it became evident that
more hotel accommodations ware needed.
It was bnt a abort time and threo wall
known gentlemen stepped forward, put
down the money, and as a result the Ar
tesian House was but just lat'ly thrown
open to viiitora. It i, three stories high,
and has between perenty-five and ono
hundred n» ms, furnished magnificently,
and that means a great deal. As soon aa
possible bells will be pm np and tka
bouse lighted with eleolrio lights. An
artesian well has been bored wbioh will
fnrnisb forty or fifty gallons of water a
minute; pipes will be ran through th-
bouse, and when furniabed it will be I ho
most complete hotel in Ibe South. Iih
genial proprietor, C'raae Barnes, ia
landlord of long experience, and bo
makes a innn toil like he had struck a
borne when lie stops nt the Artesian.
I haven't tolil you the half about tbo
artesian business, but thia letter is getting
long, and I have not said a word about
Albany proper. About four o'clook Ed.
Miller, in company with one of Albany,
pretty young ladies, drovo up and oar-
rred na out to “do" tbo town. Tbe alreets
are wide—very wide. Tbo business is
confined principally ta ono street, On«
peculiarity ia that no many of tuo rcsi
denecs are of brick, but they are nice
anil cosy. Each residence liss nn acre nr
so of land urnund it, which is laid nut
lawns, summer bouses, and those thin
that make a place beautiful. The place
is spreading out, and in adriva of two
boars wa wero unable to get ail around.
It is pretty, sad the only objection we-
bad to it was that it was flat, and
didn't have the hilla and tbe rolls,
and didn’t suit ns as Amcricna does. Bnt
it is a delightful place to viuit, and may
be more ao to live in.
Five warehouses holds the cotton, and
there an several manufactories and
works, which gives the pl#ca a busy and
tbriRy air. Tba cotton aaed|oil mill ia
tbo prettiest we ever went through. We
are glad wa went, and bopejto go again.

“Bio is • great oity. I left Cleve
land April 1, 1882, nnd after having
bean forty-three days at sen and travel
ing 0,200 miles I passed the famous
.Sugar loaf mountain nnd intend tba
bay of Bio da Janeiro. We warn
polled ashore by Italian bantman, and
ware soon stowed away beneath tba
aheeta of n Brazilian bad in tba Grand
hotel. Lat me remark ham that a
Brazilian bad ia about twioe aa hard aa
an oak plank. I undertook to do Bio
by mean a of its tram eon, which ora
much batter kept and managed than
the street earn in thia country. They
am very faat and only a certain Bom
ber of pnsatagm om permitted to ride
at a time. The main tnunway of tha
city, which paasea through tha Judina
liotanico, is o result of American so
terpriae.
The ladles and gentleman cf Brasil
dress in extremely costly habiliment*,
(ishioned according to the latest
Parisian styles. Th* Boa da Ovidor ia
tbe principle street of Bio, and is liter
ally ablaze with diamonds and costly
jewelry both dur nnd night. The ex
treme taste of the Brazilian naval of
ficer ia very prominent. No carta or
carriages an permitted ia the Bus de
Ovidor except early in the morning.
This street, which ia only about three-
J iuarters of e mile long end but twenty
eet wide, represents mom wealth than
any street of its size in the world.
During the yellow fever season in Rio
the English nnd American residents
take op tbair abode at Tijnoa, which
is some four miles distant, on tbo
sen coast, and among the mountains.
The weather it slway delightfully eoot
at Tijuca, and tba bathing faculties am
complete. Tbe only drawback about
the place is the enormous prices charged
by the hotels.
Coffee in BrszU Is sn unknown lux
ury here. One teblespoonful of coffee
is used for evety cup, but instead of
boiling in a pot too hot water isailowad
to trickle through tha coffee, which is
confined in n sieve. Thai we have tbo
pure liquid coffee, which, if compared
witb the ooflee we get in this country, ia
like comparing wine with dishwater.
Foreigners, who am ao unfortunate as
to be obliged to remain in tba city dur
ing the basted term, generally succumb
to yellow fever. While temperature at
Bio seldom rises above 101) degrees, it
is like standing over a teakettle aud be-
ing.steamcd. underclothing baa to bo
changed twice n day. >
The theatre* am on a seal* of splen
dor unknown to any other country,with
tha possible exception of France. Tha
plays am produced on very large
stages in the most magnificent manner
possible. Just before leaving Bio I
taw the famous ballet Excelsior, pro
duoed in the same manner as at the
Theatre Eden at Paris, the scenery and
paraphernalia being brought dimot
from that theatre. The performance
waa attended by tba emperor, tbe im
perial family, and tbe ministers of
agriculture, war, and marine. The
auditorium wa* crowded from pit to
dome with 4,000 poopla representing
the nations and fashion of the world.
Tbo orchestra of the Imperial theatre
consists of 100 pieces, and at one time
the stage held no leas than 460 dancers.
ITALY A GENEROUS GIVER.
8L Louis Globa*Democrat
One observer says: “It ia wonderful
that a country, generally supposed to
be so poor aa Italy, is able to giro as
uuoli os has been given boro. I should
say that there la not a man, woman or
ehild who has not contributed in soma
way or another towards tha Caaamicciola
fund. Nearly two million* of franca
were subscribed within the first week!
Ono of the most effective means for col
lecting money is tha ‘oar’ system—that
is, a number of large wagons, hung with
mourning trappings and banners, are
led through the streets by tbe pro
moters of tho procession with guards to
keep o iler.”
At ltoine the procession was in the
hands of tbo "Society of the Old War
riors of tbe Country’* Battles." It took
place one day only, bnt during that day
10,000 francs in money were collected,
and so much food and clothing that the
government had to givo n store-house
in which to put the tilings till they
rould ho forwarded to Naples. In
front of the cars walked men with
trumpets to notify people of their ap
proach, and out of ovory door and shop
came men and women, with all tlioy
could spare to give to C’usamicciola.-
Kvery sho|cliccper on tlio road gave
of his wares. Thus the cars woro soon
filled with clothing of every ilc.'."rit<-
tion, furniture, linen, licdding, crock
ery, pots and pans, cutlery, plate, otc.,

tied their tills into tho money bags

from their cars aud fingers, tlio
