The first was rn ' the same ground, and the borne nine was sh?ad, the soore being 19 to lfi.

Sept. 8.?Editor Union f i'ott: The revden of the Tinas mar not ipeot a lettT from St Louis, but why not are one fr im hero as well as from ao> ?ther irge c ly ? I left my homo Srpt. 2 for this ?! 1 or, , occomptnied by Mr W. T. Li tie-- <\ >hn of y< ur County who travel with ins nly 21 mile*. On my rou'el noticed tome things that I ' ould not ful y comprehend. Among thoso liings 1 was impressed with the idea that the | < [onducto'S of the t >ilroad I came over, t- - I listed on tny s oppihg orer in a certain, city 1 hrough which I came in prefer?8M JmHH| ithcr. Doubtless' Jiheir objoct must hate icon to holp the Hotel iron in sstn city, but dtis is only a surmise on my part.' At any rate they reminded ms before ai riving at and after leaving this city that it wss the p opor place for one to speud the elop-ove1*, which was unavoidable in unking the trip from Tiui to St. Louis. It is an excellent plan to always take the first train when there are two, lest the second ehould not oome. In Texas an I in Arkansas there is a law which prevents whito and colon d people fiom riding in the same csr or silt ng toga.her in a waiting ro>m at s ations. Briukley, ark., was the town in which 1 did stop orer on tk? trip here, ami while there waiting for the train, this dep >nc:it, togoihcr with another W.ow, aocidently wandered into a negro waiting roam at the station. It being enliro'y empty wo we were unconsxious of the fact until a 'coon' came in and i iformcd us that we were in ttie wrong pew, ns it were, and harried us | out. We thanked him of course, moved I quick. By-aod-byo the tra'n csuie and the o?r "for whites" was crowded, but the oar "for negroes" contained ous lonely negro, but the laws say, "whites must go separate from the "m-gros," which was strictly complied with, notwithstanding it was very un> comfortable for the "whites," while the happy negro occupied the wbele of one coach for nearly one hundred miles, until the train crossed the Missouri state line, when a rush was mad* by the uucomfortable whites, sbout^ ing at the same time, "all aboard for Join," aod like expressions. While at Bnnkley, I stopped at the Arlington Hotel, which is kept by a Dutch lady and she gave us a Dutch d.nocr largely of Dutoh soup, which was mostly soup without seasoning.* Another thing peculiar to Brinklvy was this significont sign painted on the side wall of a storo: "John Gozxola and Co, wholesale and retail live and let live." That is the literal reading of the sign. The Weekly Argus is a newspaper published at Br nkl?y, and in it 1 read this: "On the 2f>th August a construction train South, bound, on tho railroad between Savannah, Ga., and Columbia, South Carolina, was wrecked 40 miles west of Savannah," Ac. It is not an uncommon thing to see just such inaccuracies in the papers, especially in the press of Texss. 1 would suggest that these newspaper men study the maps of the country they write about. St. Louis is a City of considerable bustle and move ; but of course she is not the City that Chicago is,?just 800 miles north. Tbe latter is a constant reminder of St Louis' inability to cope with her, but St. Louis possescs many wealthy progressive mo a in every line of business. There ere also many, very many, nice gODllcmcn of the drumming fraternity representing St Louis all over tbc country. There arc drnmmcrs working fur St Louis houses who are iulereaied in one, two, three, and in some iuttaucesfour, sloros in different parts of the country ; their salaries are base t upon the amount of sales they mako, henoe you wan see at once that thoy wouli like to he interested in as many country stores as possiblo, for t wo reasons, namely: for tho profits realized out of threo stores and larger salaries from larger sales effected thereby. There is a firm iu this City, Messrs Ligget & Meyers, who hare nude an inuneuse brand which lias made ihotu a oame and fame. There are many other men here who base made fortunes out of speciil lines. St Louis bas many advantages in her favor to mako her a great commercial center. To a novice like mysolf, there are a great many attract one here; notably among them arc the St Louis Exposition, wliioh lasts a monih. This is simply immense Tho exhib ts in nil lines are grand beyond tho language wiili which I could meisure and desc. ibe tin m. To say the least of it, it is a cause for wonder. The Shaw's 0 irden is a grcst sight for any one. It is a great farm, you might say, of floriculture. 1 am not able to say just how many acres it contains, bnt it is onormius. This garden is in Targrove Park, which is a resort for the denizens of this "Smoky City." This Park nnd Garden were donated lo the City somo years siuco by Ileury Shaw, an Engl ahman by biith. It is maaagod and eontrolcd by a board of trnatees. Shaw waa born in Sheffield England, in 1800, and died hero io 1S89. His remaios lie near tbo center ofthegardon, in afim-ly chiseled Marble Sarcophagus, placed in a grett granite Tomb some 20 feet tall.
