SWITZERLAND.
Lucerne, (2) Interlaken, (3)
Berne, (4) Lausanne, (5)
Geneva and Lake.
From Lucerne one may get a
fine view of the Rhigi Mountains
and Mont Pilatus, as we did, at
sunset. The sunrise next morn
ing was grand, and we saw in all
its glory Lake Lucerne—the most
lovely lake in Switzerland.
Lucerne is situated between the
( Pilatus and Rhigi, faces the Alps
of Schwyz and Engelberg, and has
about 25,000 inhabitants, deriving
its name from the Water-Tower,
which tradition says was once a
. light-house (lucerna), but now
holds the archives. Besides the
1 Lion of Lucerne and Glacier Gar
dens, may , also be seen here the
Capell Bridge (1303) over the
Reuss River with 154 old paint
ings on the root and ending in St.
’ Peter’s Chapel; the Muehlin
Bridge with its 30 peculiar pictures
'of "The Dance of Death;” the
Museum aud Library; and Stauf-
•fer’s Alpine Animals; the Jesuit
Church; the palatial hotels; and
the lovely promenade with its
many trees, called the "Schweizer
foot Quay.” The ascent of the
Righi Mountains gives one a good
’ idea from the finest view of A1
pine scenery, and the capital ho
tels at the lop provuii all neces
sary comforts. Lucerne is said to
be visited by 300,000 tourists an
nually for its picturesque scenery
and delightful situation.
By cog-rail we proceeded to
climb the mountains trom Lucerne
•te Alpnach-stad (whence is made
the ascent to Mont Pilatus) and
Dorf (with its Schutzen-fest) the
Lake of Sarnen (with its pretty
(whereabout 800 people are en
gaged in wood-carving) on the
mountain-walled lake of the same
name, and the deepest lake in
Switzerland. Here we are in the
vicinity of the Giessbach, a “series
of seven beautiful cascades, falling
from rocks 1,148 feet high, amid
luxuriant herbage and stately
trees, and illuminated at night by
Bengal lights.”
From Britnz we took steamer
over Lake Brienz, through which
runs the whitish-green waters of
the Aare, to Interlaken, sailing
o’er its surface for one and a half
hours. At Interlaken we stopped
for an hour and three quarters,and
were struck with the exceeding
beauty of the place, situated in the
glen between the Lakes of Brienz
and Thun, and a great rendezvous
for tourists between the middle of
July and October, as well as the
most advantageous point for trips
in any part of the Bernese Ober-
land. It is nothing unusual to
have several hundred thousand
visitors a season. In the spring
and summer one can get a ticket
of travel all oyer Switzerland one-
half month for 50 francs, a month
for 75 francs, and a year for 475
francs (second class, which is
equivalent to American first class,
and generally used). Here we
were in full view of the great
Jungfrau in its majestic whiteness,
13,671 feet high; and not far from
Grindelwald, which is reached by
rail or conveyance, near two vast
glaciers, in a vale surrounded by
the Wetterhorn, Mettenberg, and
Eiger. We had a good look at the
Drecipitous Haerder Mountains
(on which so many lives have been
lost by accident), and the Schy-
nige Platte Bohn; and enjoyed
walking on the once magnificent
Hohewegepromenade with its fine
walnut trees, and got glimpses of
the old wooden village of Unter-
seen. Here too may be seen the
old castles of Tusprunnen and
Weissenau, the Kursaal with its
concerts, the fashionable hotels
and pensions. Interlaken has both
waterworks and electric light sys

in a narrow rock-girt glen, close
to the famous Staubbach (dust-
brook), a slender but unbroken
fall 980 feet high. Farther up the
are the grand Schmadribach
ence is gained by climbing to
Muerren,"
Hence we took the Oberland
Route by the Lake of Thun to
Berne, the Swiss Capitol, of about
45,000 people, pleasant arcaded
streets, mediaeval houses and
fountains, a favorite resting-point
in travel through the Alps, with
finest of views of the whole Ber
nese range. Here are the Univer
sity, Gothic Cathedral and Ter
race, noble Florentine Federal
Buildings, Museums, Clock-Tower,
Rauthhaus, and Bear-Pit. On the
way thither we passed over lovely
plains and rich valleys and rugged
mountains, plain predominating,
and land evincing a high state of
cultivation. In Switzerland the
people are mostly cattle raisers, or
manufacturers, shippers of famous
cheese, apples, pears and cherries
grow plentifully. Our stay here
a fame among the nations. Its
watch-making industry has been
celebrated for over four centuries
for precision and improvement
and tastefulness, fostered by an
nual competition foi prizes under
the Industrial and Commercial
Section of the Society of Arts,and
recognized in the international
awards for perfection in such work.
It is no fad, but proven fact, that
the Genevan watches are the very
best made in the world. The
manufacture of jewelry also has
flourished here for centuries, for
quality of goods and moderateness
of prices. So, too, artistic enam
els of an exquisite order, fine
music boxes and powerful orches
trions, are manufactured here
“There are also others which have
rapidly acquired considerable im
portance; there are manufacturers
of surgical instruments, of electric

Lechman, on by Meyringen from
“beautifully situated in the Hasli
valley near the Reichenbach Falls)
'and over the Bruenig Pass (3,-
595 feet high where we got lunch-
eun), through magnificent moun-jglen
tain views, downward to the Aarel Fall and the far-viewing Steinberg
and the valfey road, to Brienz j Alp. A marvellous Alpine experi-
to Freiburg,picturesquely situated
on the noble cliffs over the river
Sarine, and our railway rapidly de
scended thence to Lausanne (a
place of 27,000 inhabitants) with
lovely views o’er Lake Geneva
and containing the Gothic (Prot
estant) Cathedral, “built 1235 75,
where Calvin and others held a
famous debate, in 1536, resulting
in Protestantizing Vaud,” This
descent of 42 miles is one of the
most beautiful in Europe. From
this point in the northern bend of
the Lake our road carried us
around to the south-western end
of the same, in full view of the
great Jura range of mountains, of
the historic city of Geneva on the
largest of the lakes of Switzerland
(50 by 9 m. in area and 1230 feet
above the sea, half-moon shaped,
and deep-blue water, never freez
ing over, strong currents, strange
risep and falls, and waterspouts—
the Lake of Geneve,” the “Lacus
Lemanus” of the Romans, and
"Lac Leman” of the French, with
magnificent scenery and scores of
villages on,its shores). Vine cul
ture is in evidence quits a while
before one reaches Geneva. We
had a glimpse of the roseate sun
set effect of the Alpine glow just
before our arrival at Geneva (des
ignated by its people—Geneva in
true French style)
Geneva is a flourishing city of
70,000 inhabitants and so pretty
for situation at the southwest foot
of Lake Geneva, cut in two by the
swift-rushing waters of the blue
Rhone River; is full of handsome
buildings and hotels, especially on
the river and lake front, and has
fine broad quays, the favorite
promenade being the Pont-du
Mont-Blanc, which crosses be
tween the lake and Rousseau’s
Island (called so because contain
ing a bronze statue of Jean Jac
ques Rousseau by Pradier). Gene
va is 1250 feet above the sea level
and has a temperate and healthy
climate. Even in the dog-days the
heat is easily bearable, while in
winter the cold is never excessive,
The waters of the Arve in the
space of one night brings down to
Geneva the icy waters of the gla
ciers at Chamonix and all the re
workshops, etc., and every day
fresh branches are added to those
already existing. This special de
velopment of the industrial activity
at Geneva has occurred during the
last few years, and is due, to a
great extent, to the utilization of
the motive power " of the Rhone
which the municipality has carried
out, thereby being enabled to sup
ply manufacturers with the motive
power they need at a very low
cost.”
We had a close view of these
manufactories (just below the
Pont de la Nachine) and the weir
by means of which the depth of
the lake can be regulated, through
the gates of which the limpid
masses of deep transparent blue
Rhone water fall and break into a
sea of foam as it whirls rapidly
downwards. Farther down still
we came to the Pont de la Coul-
ouvreniere aud saw in the Rhone
the Batiment des Turbines, well
worthy a visit, contain twenty
turbines of 4,200 horse power,
which is distributed all over the
city and suburbs at a very low
price. We were shown through it,
and saw mueh to excite our won
der and contribute to our pleasure.
The total motive force now obtain
ed from the Rhone amounts to
200,000 horse power.
As one walks about Geneva, be
sides its cleanliness and the gen
eral striking appearance of its
buildings, and the places already
mentioned, from the Quai du
Mont-Blance and the pier beyond
are to be had splendid views of the
snowy heights of Mont Blance. In
the delightful English Garden
along the lake is a "Relief du
Mont Blanc.” We noted also the
Florentine Hotel de Ville with its
inclined planes instead of stairs!
the Palais de Justice, the bronze
National Monument,and the hand
some one of the Duke of Bruns
wick; the University, the Muse
ums, the Theatre in fine modern
style, the Place Neuvc—a grand
looking and the best public square
in Geneva, and the Promenade des

is the Parc Mon Repos (one of the
! iovliest spots on earth, and a

during our stay in Geneva, Bro.
Carroll and I early after breakfast
walked from our hotel to the
Plain-Palais Cemetaise to find the
grave of the man who has made
Geneva known to the remotest
corners of the world—that of John
Calvin. There it was, marked by
a little square block of marble, its
face skyward but slightly inclined,
with the Latin initials for his name
—“I, C.” carved on the top. And
just over his grave grows a fir-tree
about 40 feet high, still putting
forth its evergreen leafage in old
age. At its foot we sat, and there
read together 2 Tim. 4.1-3 and
