AROUND THE WORLD IN MIOHTY DAYS.
BY JULEB. VEUI E.
An hour after the starting of the train
a fine snow commeneed4 to fall, which
fortunately could not delay the progress
of the train. Through the windows noth-
ing was seen but an immense white sheet,
against which the clouds of steam from
the locomotive :looked grayish.
At 8 o'clock a steward entered the car,
and announedd to the passengers that the
hour for retiring had c e. This Was a
sleeping car, whichina ew minutes was
transformed into a dorm tory. The backs
of the seats unfolded, .beds carefully
packedaway were unrolled by on ingeni-
ous system, berths were improvised in a
few moments, and each passenger had
soon aphis disposal a comfortable bed;
which thick curtains protected from all.
indiscreet looks. The sheets were -dean
and the pillows soft. Nothing more to
be done but to he down and sleep' --which'
every one did, as if he had been in the
comfortable cabin of a steamer—while the
train moved on under full head of steam
across the State of California.
In that portion of the country between
San Francisco and Sacramento, the
ground is not very hilly. This portion
of the railroad, under the name of the
Central Pacific, originally had. Sacra-
mento for its starting point, and went
towards the east to sleet that starting
from Omaha. From San Francisco to
the capital of California, the line ran di-
rectly to the northeast, along American
river, which empties into San Pablo Bay.
The one hundred and twenty miles in-
cluded between these" two important
cities were accomplished in six hours,
and towards midnight, ,while they were
getting their first sleep, the travellers
passed through Sacramento. They saw
nothing of that large city, the seat
of the state government of California,
nor its fine wharves, its broad streets,
its splendid hotels, its quares, nor its
churches.
Leaving Saeramentd,` the train having
passed- Junction, Roslin, Auburn and
Colfax stations, plunged into the Sierra
Nevada. It was 7 .o'clock in the morn
ing when. Cisco station was passed. • An
hour afterwards the drmitory had be-
come an, ordinary ear, a d the passengers
could get through the windows a glimpse
of the picturesque views of this moun-
tainous country. The route of the train
followed the windings of the Sierra, here
clinging to the sides of the mountains,
there suspended above precipices, avoid-
ing sharp angles by -bold curves, plung-
ing into narrow gorges (from which there
seemed to be no - exit. The locomotive,
flashing fire like a chased animal, its
large smoke -pipe throwing out lurid
lights, its sharp bell, its cow -catcher,
extending out like a spur, mingled
its shrieks and bellowings with the
noise of the torrents and cascade,;, and
twined its smoke iu the dark branches of
the firs. .
There were few or no tunnels or
bridges on the route. The railroad turn-
ed the flankof the mountains, not . seek-
ing in a straight line- the shorted" route
from one point to another, and not doing
violence to Nature. '
•'About nine o'clock, the train entered
the State of Nevada, through the Carson
Valley, always following a northeasterly
direction. At noon it left Reno, where
the passengers had twenty minutes for
breakfast.
I From this point, the iron road, skirt.
jug Humboldt river, passed a "few miles
to the north. Then it bent to the east,
and did not leave the stream until it
reached the Humboldt range, where the
river takes its source, nearly in the east-
ern end of the State of Nevada. -
After breakfasting, Mr. Fogg, Mrs.
Aouda and their companions took their
seats again in the car. Phileas Fogg, the
young woman, Fix, and Passepartout,
comfortably seated, looked at the varied
country passing before their sight, vast
prairies; mountains whose profiles were
shown upon the horizon, and creeks
tumbling down, a foaming mass of water,
Sometimes, . a large herd of bisons, Bath-
ing in the distance, appeared like a mov-
ing dam. These innumerable armies of
grazing animals frequently oppose an in-
surmountable obstacle to the passage of
trains. Thousands of these animals have
been seen moving on for several hours in
close ranks across the railroad. The lo-
comotive is then forced to stop and wait
until the path is clear again.
The same thing happened on this oc-
casion. About -3 o'cloctc in the afternoon
a herd of ten or twelve thousand block-
ed the railroad. The engine, having
. slackened its speed, tried to plunge its
spur into the flank of (the immense col-
• urn., but it had tb stop before the irn-
-penetrable mass, 1
They saw these buffaloes, as the Am-
ericans improperly call, them, moving
with their steady gait, frequently bel-
lowing terribly. They had a larger body
than those of the bulls of Europe, short
legs and tail, a projecting saddle forming
a muscular bump, horns separated at the
base, their heads, neck and shoulders
covered with long, shaggy hair. They
could not think of stopping this moving
mass. When the bisons have adopted
a course, nothing could swerve them
from it or modify it. ' They are a tor-
rent of living flesh which no dam could
held,.
The'travellers, scattered on the plat-
forms, looked at this curious spectacle.
But Phileas Fogg, who ought to be the
moist in a hurry, had remained in ' his
seat, and was waiting philosophically
until it should please the buffaloes to
open a passage. Passepartout was furl -
sous at the delay caused by this mass of
animals. He wanted to fire all his. re-
volvers at them. 1
" What a country !"t he cried. " Mere
cattl~e stop trains, and move along in
procession without hurrying, as if they
did not impede tray -el ! Parbleu ! I
would- like to know if Mr. Fogg had fore.
seen this mischance in his programme .!
And what an engineer, who does not -dare
to, rush liis engine through this impeding
mass of beasts :"
The' engineer had not attempted to
overcome the obstacle, and he acted
wisely.. Ile would undoubtedly have
crushed the first buffaloes struck by the
cow -catcher ; but, powerful as it was,
the engine would have.soon been stopped,
and the train thrown off the track and
wrecked. ( i
The best course, then, was to; wait
patiently, ready to make . up the lost
tune by an increase of. the speed of the
train. . The passage of the bisous lasted
three full hours, and the road was not
clear -again until night -fall. At ` this
moment the last ranks of the herd cross-
ed the rails, whilst the,first were • disap-
pearing below the southern horison.
It was then eight o'clock, when the
train passed through the defiles of the
Humboldt range, and half -past nine

engineers were caught with the greatest
difficulties. On this portion of the route
the subsidy of the United States Gov-

whilst on the plains it was only $16,000 ;
but the engineers as bas already been
mid, have not ,do e _ violence to 9 Nature
—they have play with her, going round
the difficulties. T reach -the great basin,
only one tunnel, fourteen thousand feet
long, was bored in the entire route of the
railroad.
At Salt Lake the road 1 • up to this
time reached its g eatest alt tude. From
this point its pr file dese "bed' a very
long curve, desc ending to • ards Bitter
Creek Valley, th n re-asce ding to _the
dividing ridge of be waters between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. The creeks
were numerous id this mo .• is tainou re-

Muddy, the Green, and of ' ers, on cul-

patient in proportion as h : _ approached
the end of his journey. F• in his turn
would have been very glad to get ont of

he dreaded accidents, and as more in a

At ten o'clock at night t e train stop-

almost immediately, and 20 u1 ilea further
on it entered Wyoming Territory—
following the entire valle of the Bit-
ter Creek, whence flow a pirtion of the
streams forming the wate system of
Colorado.
The next day,+:the 7th f December,
there was a stop .of a qua r hour at
Green River station. T e snow had
fallen quite heavily throug the night,
but mingled with rain and alf melted it
could not interfere with th progress of
the train. But this bad eather kept
Passepartout in constant u easiness, for
the accumulation' -of the sow clogging
the car wheels would ertainly en-
danger the journey.
%That au :idea," he sat to himself,
" for my master to trove during the
winter ! • Could he not ail for the
fine season of the year to increase his
chances.?"
But at this moment, wh Ie the good
fellow was busy only with he condition
of the sky and the lowerin of the. tem-
perature, Mrs. Aouda was experiencing
more serious fears, which p +needed from
quite another cause.
Some of the passengers h got out of
the cars, and were walking on the plat-
form of the Green River et • tion i waiting
for the train to leave. T young wo-
man, looking through the indew w pane,
recognized among them C lonel Stamp
Proctor, the American who had; behaved
so rudely to Phileas Fogg : the time of
the political meeting in S ; n Francisco.
Mrs. Aouda, not wishing to be seen,
drew back from the windo .
This circumstance made a lively im-
pression upon the young Oman. She
was attached to the man ° ho, however
coldly, gave her every day tokens of the
most absolute devotion. 0 he doubtless
did not comprehend the en ire depth of
the sentiment which her delivererin-
spired in her, and to this s ntitnent she
gave as yet only he name +f gratitude ;
ut, unknown to herself, it was more
than that. Her heart w therefore,
wrung at the sight of the r ugh fellow of
whom Mr. Fogg would, sonerr later,
demand satisfaction. Evia ently, it was
chance alone that had br glitz Colonel
Proctor into this train ; but - he was
there, and Phileas Fogg a1 tali be pare
vented at any cost from s eing his ad-
versary.
When t» train 'had s arced again,
Mrs. Aouc?ar took adventa,.e for a mo-
ment, when' Mr.' Fogg wa: sleeping, to
post Fix and Passepartout a to the situa-
tion.
" That Proctor is on the rani !" cried
Fix. " Well, compose ourself, ma-
dame ; before dealing wit the gentle-
man—with Mr. Fogg—he ill have to
deal with me ! It seams s me that in
all this business I have received the
greatest insults !"
" And moreover," added ' assepartout,
"I will take care of him, olonel as he
is."
" Mr. Fix," continued Mrs, Aouda,
" Mr. Fogg will allow no o e to avenge
him. He has said that he ill return to
America to find this ruffs . n. If, then,
he sees Colonel Proctor, wv: cannot pre-
vent an encounter, which may lead to
