its Rare Treasures.
Mr. Editor: Our pa~ty, bound
forNew England, took passage for
Providence, Kliode Island, in the
Steamboat Powhatan, belonging
to the Manufacturers & Miners
'I ranaportation Co. We went on
board at (> p. in., but it was 8
o'clock before we steamed out of
Norfolk harbor. During this interval
we were interested in
watching the loading of the
boat with it - usual freight, barrels
of pota'oo-, cantaloupes, and
cabb >g The t rip. on "old ocean,v
was a novel experience to the
majority ol us but the sea was
very calm,and we all enjoyed our
two nights und a day put <?l sight
of I ui . We passed Nana^inso'i
Pier in going up the bay, and
entering the .Providence river,
were landed at P. evidence,
Kli?ie [dan i. the greater part
of the day was spent in sight
seeing. The Stat house, or Chip

abou* 'lie center of the
City, whose popul ?tion is 100,0(?0.
and i- a strikingly beuutilu!
building. Si range to say tin
appropriation tor the building
w ?s not consumed before its
completion. Of course we went
to Brown 1 niversity ? one of the
great seats of learning in New
England The spot on the bank
of tho Blacksto e river, marked
by a monument, where Roger
William* first landed and made
his deal for Providence with the
Indians wis pointed out Senator
Aldrich's home was also shown
to us. We wore were all anxious
to see Newport, the summer
home of the New York and Boston
Millionaire's, and a ride o!
a few hours by trolley car soon
brought ns to us to the place.
Newport, at one time, shared
the honor, with Providence, of
being the capital of Rhode Is
land. 1'lie summer home of the
Van lerbnilis, Whitney*, (louts,
Belmon's and I he hos's of other
m ilti millionan people are
veritable palaces. M ?ny ol tho
houses are baill in fu'l view of
the ocean, and land-scaj e gar
deners have mad" ttie -urrounding
grounds and parks, with i
their hedges, green s\vauh.
