IN FOREIGN LANDS. Correspondence of the Intelligencer. The fame of the Swiss Alps is so great/ that the word. Switzerland -has become almost a synonym for grand, majestic and beautiful mountain scenery; and yet we must remember that all of Switzerland is not devoted to snow-capped mountains and seas of ice, but that the Northern portion of the country, comprising a large share of its territorial extent, has no high mountains, but is occupied by broad plains, low hills and fertile valleys, with thriving cities and villages and densely populated rural districts. The government is Republican in form, the twenty-two cantons, with a population of about three millions, being united under a constitution. Although we frequently hear of the "President of the Swiss Republic," there is really no such office or officer in existence; no chief executive being elected by the people, but the so called "President" being sim? ply chosen by the legislative body to preside over its deliberations. On a war s footing, its army, in spite of the small population, numbere over 200,000 men, while Swiss soldiers have for centuries been found in the armies of almost every nation in Europe, they being among the few faithful mercenaries known to history. Zurich, where we left our readers in our last letter, is one of the most flourish? ing of the Swiss cities, its manufactures of silk and cotton being especially im por tan t., The lake at the footof which it is located, is twenty-five miles long, ] : ?_ and1 from the city many beautiful views may be obtained, while from the* Uetli berg, 1,565 feet above the lake and about five miles from the cny, a more extended prospect is gained. Leaving Zurich, we pass .the little lake Zag? only nine miles in length by three in breadth, and shortly .after reach Lucerne, a walled town, situated at the. Western extremity ^>f lake Lucerne, whose outlet) the Re ass river, a clear, dark stream, 'Hows through the city. Two of the four .bridges which span the ? river are very old ^nd quaint, the roof of I . ?the one-nearest theTake being decorated *; with more than 15? pictures, illustrating ? the lives of the patron saints of the place, while the otlfer is ornamented in the same manner with the "Dance of Death;." representing the grim..messenger! .as present in every employment and pleas? ure of life. . The great attraction of the town, however, is the "Lfono? Lucerne." j This monument, which represents a lion pierced by a spear and dying with its paw upon the Bourbon shield, was designed by Thorwaldsen, in memory of nearly 800 officers and men of the Swiss guard, who fell in defending the Tnileries at Paris, in 1792^ and is cut into the r. solid -rock of ithff mountain a short dis? tance from the- lake. It is one of the grandest and--most impressive works of *; nie kind wh:ch ever came from the chisel . of .the sculptor; and a* a memorial to r .thefidelity and courage of the Swiss sol ..dierjn ^foreign lands, as well as for its e r artistic merits, it. ia. justly pointed to with pride by the citizens of the city. Lake-Lucerne, or the "Lake of the Four Forest Cantons," as it is sometimes ? "called; is'byfarthe most beautiful of all . the charming lakes of Switzerland. Deeply set among the green slopes of the mountains, with their snowy peaks ris? ing high in the distance, dotted here and tfc ere with cultivated patches and pictur ; ' esqae chalets. it is a gem of indescribable '? 'loVeliness. 11 has noislands of importance, but this deficiency is more than compen? sated for by the extreme irregularity of itu shore line, its arms reaching out and dj?pin?rthe; bases of "the: mountains in everyemf?ctfcii. ^FroWLucernVat the W eater n extremUy, ia ? most delightful sail of about three hours!"

A little farther on a small chapel marksoK^t where Teil is said to have leaped 4ro^:'f(ki?ler,8^B't. Two miles": frcm Flaelen iB Altorf, where Tell per fozmed bis terrible feat of arch ery, s tatues? of himself and sou marking the supposed location of the fearful test. Returning from. Flaelen, we land atVitznau, at the -foot of the Rigi, and takc-the railway to tho ei i mm it. The Rigi ia not a single peak, but is an irregular shaped mountain whose base is ;r wasljedTpnTtnree sideahy the waters of J - ?tfc'e Lucerne/: Although1 a nrere- dwarf, compared with some of the giants of the .'Alps, (its height being only about 6,000 feet) its location is such as to give from its summit what is probably the finest view in Switzerland. .On ascending the mountain, we found, although it was late in June, a snow storm in progress at the .top, with about four inches of snow . 4? ready fallen, and the fog so thick as to i-render i* impossible to see more than a dozen yards in any direction. Id fact, the Big? is celebrated almost as much for its jogs as for the view obtained in good ? weather, and many are the disappointed tourists who make the ascent and return in despair. One of the unlucky ones, years ago, left on the visitors' book the following bit of inspiration: " Whoever saw -the sun on Rigi set ? 1 . -Whowwaawitttse-?* ,j- > The man that says he saw them both, Upon my soul, he lies. ? Three misty days and miserable nights, Upon this mountain we passed, Nor saw the sun, nor moon, nor stars; (Bu* gstwty1 misery." ? v We hoped, for better days, however, and. after twenty-four hours of not patient, but very- impatient waiting, the clouds lifted, the mists rolled away and we were rewarded bj^swicg one of the most mag? nificent panoramas ever spread out to the eye of man. On the North, just at the foot of the mountain, lies lake Zug, bordered by low hills, with a broad plain beyond stretching away toward the Black Forest in the distance. Eastward the low peaks of the Rigi are seen, with an occasional glimpse of lake Lowrez and Lucerne, with a background of forest, mountain and valley. Farther South another part of the "Forest Sea" is visi? ble, with the precipitous peaks of the Bernese Alps, the peerless Jungfrau, the mighty Fjnsteraarhoru, the Wetterhorn and many of lesser note, holding high their mantles of dazzling white, many rn?ea away. The city of Lucerne and another portion of the lake appears in the West, and just South of tb t city rises the storm crow De d head of Mount. Pilatus* where the legend says the spirit "of PonUus .PUafce. iiL despair at having permitted the death of Christ took refuge. The Western horizon is bounded by the - dark blue of the Jura range, and wher? ever the eye turns it is captivated by new and appearantly greater . attractions* Three hundred tailed of mountain, plain, forest aad valley, with thirteen lakes, are included within the range of vision. A sunrise from the Rigi is regarded as one of the most wonderful spectacles in nature; and at half past three o'clock the next morning, the doubtful melody of an Alpine horn was heard through the . halls of the hotel, a warning to the sleep era that "now was the time and this the place" to see an Alpine sunrise. In a few moments the guests, a motley throng, were assembled on the highest point of the mountain, a few rods from the hotel. The moon-has gone down, the stars have faded and far away to the Northeast, over the mountains of St. Gall come "the streaks of the morning light." Now a beam kisses the silvered top of the moun? tain far to the South. Another and another icy crest is lighted up, the golden orb begins toappear above the horizon, theTaya^escend to the val]eys belowand on the memory of all is stamped, never to be effaced, the beautiful picture of a sunrise on the Bigi. We descend the railway, which, by the way, is a cog wheel affair, similar to the Mount Washington line,'having in some places a grade of one in four, and at Vitznau again take the steamer for Alp nach, where carriages are in waiting for the journey over the Brunig Pass to Brienz. The road over the Brun ig is a marvel of engineering skill and many times the rocks seem to effectually bar all -further progress; but-by windicg about' the mountains, along the edge of preci? pices and beneath overhanging rocks, amid wild and lovely scenery, with con? stantly changing views as we ascend and descend the pass. Lake Brienz is at last reached and wo transfer once more to a steamer, and cross the lake to Giessbacb, where we stop, a few hours to see .the waterfall of the same name. The little stream which forms the Giessbacb Falls, makes a total descent of nearly 1,200 feet to the lake; but the "fall" is simply a ?eriea of cascades; varying in height-from ten to one hundred feet. At night the principal cascades are illuminated with different colored Bengal lights, and the "illumination-of the Giessbacb" is the principal attraction of the mammoth .hotel vlocated -there. Our opinion of Swiss .waterfalls was not improving, bow ever, and we took the next boat for the foot of the lake, from which a ride of ten min? utes by rail brought us to Jnterlaken. As the name implies, Interlaken is ?between the lakes of Brienz and Thun; and-as is is not only a delightful spot itself, but also a convenient rendezvous for excursions into the Bernese Oberlaud, it is a very popular place for tourists. About-twelve miles.distant and easily reached by .carriage, is Grindelwald, near which place are the Griudelwald gla? ciers, flowing down from the Bernese Alps. We visited the "upper glacier" I and were much interested in it. The vast, frozen flood, crowded down the gorge in the mountain by tbe immense weight of ice and snow above, crumbles A od melts as it reaches tbe valley and { drops i ta burden of rocks and other debris into the terminal "moraine;" From the base flows a small stream, almost as white as milk, which; after winding J about among the mountains # finally I reaches lake Brienz. At one point a grotto has been cot directly into tbe face of the glacier, and one may enter for] nearly J200 feet this- vast ice ionse of] nature. The ice, which, in small frag? ments appears as dear as crystal, here, owing to its great thickness, is a most lovely bitte and the Jight transmitted through it throw*a ghastly pallor which iB almost alarming over the.faces of visit? ors. . On either side of the glacier, facing outward, rises a mighty wall of rock, thousands of feet iu height, reminding one of the lofty cliffs of Yosemite; but on tbe other side of the valley tbe moun? tain slopes gently back, covered with small farms and dotted with hundreds of cottages. On our return. from Grindel? wald, we made a detour of a few miles to Lanterbrunnen, to see the far famed Staubbach waterfall. Tbe opportunities for a waterfall at this point are certainly ample; the cliff being nearly 1,000 feet in height; but tbe supply of moisture is so extremely small that vre at once sug? gested the ad visability of sending a man to tbe top with a -bucket of water with strict orders to throw it all over at once. It was hardly satisfactory, but amid the grand and majestic scenery by which we .were surrounded, it was impossible to criticise severely and with the feeling that it bad been a day spent well, we re? turned to Interlaken. 'A short' ride by rail to lake Thnn, steamer down the lake and rail again for 19 miles brought us at an early hour the '?next day to Berne, tbe capital of the ? Swiss confederacy. It-has a population k<ff WKMrt '45?ti0, bot possesses little of interest to tbe tourist. The bear; the heraldic emblem H)f-the-city; is -seep everywhere, carved in wood, cast in iron and even stamped on the pats of butter at the hotels. The tower clock, which rivals in the ingenuity of its figures the Strasburg clock, has bears* ior puppets, and a small den of live bears is kept at "the public expense. Fountains are nu merous throughout the city, (as in fact in nearly all the Swiss cities,) and many of the designs are both quaint and cu ?' nous ;>1i^e;\ttV..,^indHj&es8er," being surmounted by a figure in the act of de? vouring.a kicking, struggling baby, and havingin its;-pockets an abundant Bup gly for future lunches of'the same sort, erne i? also noted for its manufactures of music boxes, cuckoo clocks, etc., and has in its cathedral one of the finest organs in tbe world. . Twenty miles South of Berne is Fri bourg, with another celebrated organ, and forty miles farther on we reach.Lau sanne, where, at the Hotel Gibbon, in the garden of which the great historian wrote his Decline and Fall of tbe Eo man Empire, we stop to re arrange the I outline of our Italian tour. Tbavsler. I Popping the Question. Popping the question is a strictly masculine'institution, though it involves the presence of a woman. If a man popped all alone and no woman to catch on to his pop he'd be a blamed fool for bis trouble. ; Men have been known to pop at all times and in a variety, of places, bat those wbo have been there say that fa gobd solid pop over a garden gate lays over any other sort of a pop, and is the' poppiest kind of a pop. . All women like to bear a man pop bis poppiest, and have been known to get mad if the pop was a weak, sickly kind of a pop without style, self-respect or force of character. ? Men get off the best kind of a pop when they have both of their girl's hands in their own or have one of their arrnsj around her waist. This action gives tone and force io'the.'pop?ibelps toehold the fellow up while making it. Some /'el lows take naturally to popping, and. are going off all tbe time. To others it is a painful and laborous proceeding, only to be attempted once in a lifetime and then only as small a pop as they can possible get away with. When a fellow's pop is acceptable to a girl, it instantly involves a kiss. When it is not acceptable, kissing is not involv? ed. When a fellow pops, he always pops at his beat girl. No fellow ever pops at bis second or third best girl. There is no exception to this rule. Popping is a very ancient and honora? ble institution, and tbe girls like it. A girl wbo has never heard a pop never confesses as much. She invents a pop, so that tbe other girls can not get the dead wood on her. We believe in pop? ping, and shall probably experiment in that direction "some day.? Winnipeg' Sift-^ ings. ? On Sunday afternoon, August 8' while riding in his buggy, Mr. J. W. Kimball, of Johnaonville, Williamsburg County, was seized with an epileptic at? tack. He was in tbe buggy alone, and fell across the seat so that his bead ex tended beyond the arm of the seat and came in contact with tbe wheel of the I buggy. Mr. Kiimhall was unable to help himself. His horse took fright and ran away. Before help could reach him Mr. Eimball's skull was fractured, and he died from the effects of his injuries. ? The authorities of many of the small town3 in thy West are forbiding Iwomen to wear Mother Hubbard cos? tumes in public, alleging that they are j indecent. ? In Montgomery County. Ga., on Friday night David Connor fired upon from ambush and killed Alice Higga, 16 years old, the daughter of a farmer, as she was returning from church in a wagon with her family. Tbe girl had refused to marry Connor. '?A man in Louisville, Ky., adopted a novel way recently -;to get rid of his wife, with whom he quarreled, and who declined a reconciliation. He placed a cocked revolver in bis wife's trunk, to the trigger of which was attached a string, so arranged that upon tbe lid of the trunk being raised the weapon would be discharged point blank at the person lifting it. Fortunately the string becs.me partly entangled in tbe lock, and the wife was only able to lift the lid high enough to slip in a pair of scissors and cut the cord. By doing this Bbe saved her life. ? It is said that no watch will keep the same time with two people. This is owing to the temperature of the wearer, and it is claimed that even the mere physical difference in gait and move? ment between different people will affect the time keeping of a watch, which is probably also affected iu some degree by the magnetism of the wearer. ? Col. Geo. Tillman, of South Caro? lina, Congressman from the Edgefield district, is said to be a very shrewd judge of political events. He very strongly believes in Cleveland's election. He says the Prohibitionists who have nominated ex-Gov. St. John for President are in earnest and will slab off a heavy slice from the Republican vote. The inde? pendent Republicans will heartily sup? port Cleveland and take another large slice from that party. Cleveland's elec? tion Col. Tillman regards as a certainty.

Tan Winkle King Cotton Press Has long been before the public, and is too well l:rJwn to need any further description. Its chief points of merits are: It takes very little room, is easily handled, and takes so little power; can be used on all kinds of powers?horse, water or steam. Ginning and packing can all go on at the same time, without interfering with the Gin. A two inch belt will pack a 500 lb. bale of cotton. It saves its cost tho first season in labor. Read the following Testimonial: Andebsox, S. C?Mr. John E. Peoples?Sir: The Steam. Power Van Winkle Cotton Press bought from you last Fall has given entire satisfaction. I packed bales of cotton weighing 6G0 to 725 lbs. in five minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 450 lb. bale. For dura? bility, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space, I deem it the King of all Cotton Presses ; especially so as the low price at which it can be bought for puts it within reach of every man running a, steam Gin. In fuct I would not be without it for twice its cost. I would advise all my friends to buy one of Van Winkle's Steam Power Cotton Presses, as you will save its cost in labor in one year. M. A. COBB.

In August, 1RR1, nearly three years ago, my son, who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga., camo over to see rue with the sad intelligence that his wife was in the last stages of consumption and that her physician had pronounced her case hope? less. I went immediately over, and I felt that nothing could he done. She was coughing and d spitting Incessantly, and at times would discharge \ from her lungs a large quautity of pus or matter ? ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the time you began to ad? vertise Grower's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving it to her' in small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un? til the prescribed dos? was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect !-."alth a miracle, for which she is indebt-d to brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an opportunity pass where ho thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not lone since a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son t-. give it to hfa invalid wile, and she was cured as if by magic"' Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates LAM AR, RANK IX (t LAM AR Macon, Atlanta and Albany, (}a.

MB III I I I??? ? ????i -, ---m.ii ?in.?Ii?.n.?? POISON In the blood is apt to show itself in the-r Spring, and nature should by all meaus be assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific doe3 this effectively. It is a purely vegeta? ble, non-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all the poison or taint out through the pores of the skin. Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn., writes, under date March 10, 1884: "I had chills and fever, followed by rheumatism, for three years, so that I was not able to at? tend to my business; had tried almost every kind of medicine, and found no relief. A friend recommended Swift's Specific. I tried one bottle and my health began to improve. I continued until I bad taken six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as sound and well as ever. I recommend it . to all similarly afflicted." ' Letters from twenty-three of the leading retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date of March 24, 18S4: "Wesell more of Swift's Specific than any other one remedy, and three to ten times as much as any other blood medicine. We sell it to all classes, and many of the besr. lamilies use it as a general health tonic." I am sure that Swift's Specific saved my life. I was terribly poisoned wi ;h malari% and was given up to die. Swill's Specific relieved me promptly and entirely. I think it is the greatest remedy of the s.ge. C. G. Spencer, Sup't Gas Works, Rome. Ga. I have known and used Swift's Specific for more than twenty years, and have seen more wonderful results from its use than from any remedy in or out of the Pharma copteia. It is a certain and safe antidote to all sorts of Blood Poison. J. Dickson Smith, M. D., Atlanta, Ga. Our Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free to applicants.
