Pleasures of a Trip Up theHudson River.

Famfucu), July 9, 1879.Oreenwioh, Conn.. Is little more tlisn thirty miles

from New York, whither you travel by one of theoccasional excursion stoauboats which land passengersthere, or by the few Haven Railroad. In itselftt is one of the moet quiet of country villages. Itshouses stand oosily back from the road, hidden withfoliage; its streets are wide and shady; its air isbracing and free from the least breath of malaria;its architecture has that true smack of the antiquewhich the villas of newer watering places vainly tryto catch, and its citlseus are blessed with a happyepicurean spirit that makes them content tolive as their fathers lived, even though theypay an extravagant price for the privilege ofexclusiveness. There are two deep inlets of waterrunning in from the Hound, and splitting upthe ground at the base of the village into the shapeof the letter M. In these two creeks scores ofyachts and sailing boats lie at anchor, and theirqualities, both as harbors and practice grounds, are

so highly appreciated by lovers of the water thatyou will with the utmost difficulty find accommodationat Greenwich during tho summer. There is an

excellent hotel, the Lenox House, and there are familiesin the village and on the farms who takeboarders, and take them on very reasonable terms;but, not unnaturally in ao old a community, theyare a little coy of tran^era. It la not every neighborhood,even in historic Connecticut, which canahow one the hill down whioh General Putnam, ofRevolutionary fame, made hie famoua leap from theBritish. The local guide booka depict him in theattitude of Curtiua, the Roman, plunging into theabyaa, and there can be no doubt that "Old Put" hpsbeen quite aa great a benefactor to the boardinghouae keepera of Greenwich aa waa Curtiua to thehouaeholdera of Rome.

Tit* AJfKlUCUH CLUB HOUSE.

There ia a pretty winding path beneath the villageleading through Uy) woods, made weirdly pictureaqueat night by lamps at regular intervala and a

. moon peeping through the brancliea. Follow itround one of the two iulets, and at the very edge ofthe further promontory, perched on a bold rock and

' surrounded on three sides by water, you will findthe Mortou House, once famoua in the annala of MewYork aa the Americus Club Houae. It ia built upona aea wall of mason work in the pseudo Gothic style,with turrets on the angles at each extremity and a

high tower in the centre. Five little islands actingaa breakwaters and two well sheltered creeks ruuningin on either hand make such an admirable harbor

. that one falls to thinking how readily a buc"caueer would have choseu it for an ambushwhence he might swoop on the merchantmenof' the tk>und. The house is almost unchangedatnce Tweed and his followers heldtheir revels there, since their wine ran down itswalks and their gold was scattered like autumnleaves. The opening ball of the soason was given onthe night of the 4th. aud while lights streamedthrough casement and hall, and music floated overthe water, and yacht lanterns danced in the offing, itneeded little fancy, sitting in the veranda,to people the rooms with the' figures of that bygonecarnival in which Tweed and his associateswere so prominent. The genius of the landscapearchitect clothed bare spots and softened downasperities. liouud the piazza, which is fourteen feetbroad and one-eighth of a mile in extent, canarieshung in their cages, gold and allver fish swam in thebowls, swinging flower baskets sweetened the ahore'blowing wind, eau de Cologne was sprinkled by thefountains and. Grafuila's band made music in thearbors. The clnb had twenty-three tailing boatsauchored off their house, ten rowboats. a barge andtwo steam yachts, "named atter the Senator and his

A MONUMKNT OF BTOIJtU PROPUTT.Would you penetrate further into the Tigers* lair?

Here is Tweed's bedroom, "worthy or the mostprludely ot democrats, the most undemocratic ofprinces." Here, under blue satin quilt of eiderdown, the statesman slept. Frescoes adorn the wallsand coiling, and all that is not frescoed is carved.No doge of Venice ever slept iu more regal pomp.As for the other bedrooms, the cost of furnishingeach would nuy a large farm in the country. Thegrand entry to the parlor la through a receptionroom, some forty teet square, finished iu black walnut,and the ceiling and the floor laid solid Iu manycolored woods. At one side la a luaaatve staircaseaud In the centre is a most ingenious baufcgumiuonboard, made of 76.0U0 pieces ofwood and indisputably of Kastern origin.

silver pla.e la inserted iu one of its edges, "Presentedto the Ameriuus Club by the Phosuix Club of8au Francisco." The furniture wss brought froiuKuropu by oue of Tweed's speclsl ambassadors. Thecarpet in the psrior cost fO.uuu. It is of velvetfinish, with tiger's head colored from life, and borderedwith a design in dark red and brown. The diningroom Is north of the inatu building, and connectedwith it by s lattice-work arbor, ami long afterthe club's decease the table of the hotel wss servedwith Its crockery, glass and silverware, bearing itsname and monogram.For about the time that one sheriff caught Tweed

another seized the club house, aud at forced sale thepresent proprietor, Mr. James Morton, formerly ofthe fllnclair Mouse. Mew York, stopped in, boughtthe furnltnro and established the Mortou Mouse,which has already takeu high rank among the caravansariesof summer. The locality is nut to be surpassedfor fiehing, gunning and sstliuit. There is nocuu >V Uiu mt m iu»a«|iiereuee, oops, puailiomdances, reading!, pantomimes, calico balls, fancydress balls and oilier fcsti v.ties. The taxpayer and thutaxpayer's family enjoy tbeirowu again, aod when themoon is up they love to sail in the eery yachtswhere Tweed and thu "boya" were wont to recreateafter exhausting themselves in the service of uugratefulUothuiu. There are billiard rooms, wherechampions come to ahow their skill; thare are newand extensive stahlos In place ot those which woreburned last year; and there is abundance of game

. in the daep woods that eucloso the Morton. At hUtable the proprietor baa hail the courage to duparttroni the huge bill of tare, which la an article ofthe summer tourist's faith, and has substituted theauuplicity and symmetry of the continental tabicd'hoio.

K. A.Woodward, late of the King, set up a straw hat factoryin the days of his power. Now, in the days ofhis decline, be calls himself a farmer and apoor mail. llis townsmen, sadly censorious,say he is worth a million or more, butthen, as Mrs. Candor says, "There's no stoppingpeople's tougues, my dear." lu any case, Mr.Woodward has chosen an admirable spot for boatingand bathing, the broad harbor running in for twomiles trom the Sound and lapping the very foot ofthe town. If you stay in any of the town hotelsyour boat may lie at two minutes' distauce from thedoor.

shaped hotel, with lawu &ud arbors, and is faiuous ]for its oysters. Indeed, the celebrity of Norwalkoysters rivals that of Norwalk hats. The sum of j$500,000 ic annually received here for the tbivalves that are shipped round the coun- i

CARNIVAL AT t'AlKlTLl).The Postmaster at Fairfield, ten miles down tho

road, divides his tiiuu between registering lettersand manufacturing an ice cream soua, for which hohas gained much locul renown, and tho Postmastersay a that if Fairfield had a good hotel it would standhigh among summer resorts, for the beach, whereonly a line of bathing houses now stands, is as wellfitted for a dip as for a promenade. For this re.isouthe Merwin iiouse has just passed into new bunds.Its former proprietor is not considered by the residentsto have done them justice. The residents, onthe other hand, are not considered by the formerproprietor to "amount to much." Nevertheless,it may be well to record tbatthey comprise a list of names once held^in high esteem iu New York commerce,nch as George A. Phelps, llenry Kowlnntf, Obadiahioiicb, iv. oiiihu, uuvur xuuuiugs ami nburyJ. Beers. Dr. Samuel Osgood represents the learningof tbe comrauuity; Mr. Frederick lironsou, with hisfour-iti-haud, represents its sport, and the Sturgisfamily represent its fashion. Indeed, if the luteproprietor of the Merwin House had heard of thecelebration to be held at Fairfield on the Utli inst. hewould probably have weighed his words. This dayis the uenteuiiial anuiversay of the burning of Fairfieldby the British in 177U; and, to coiuuieinorate itin a fitting manner, invitations were sent to thePresident of the United .Stutes, the Governor of Connecticutand many other notabilities. The colonyof Fairfield had exercised much power in times past.Her dragoous had scattered about the streets thetypes ot Governor Tryou's newspaper organ; her"Hons of Liberty" had plotted against him even inhis own city; alio had treated with contempt hisproclamations inviting her to return to her allegiance.It was the beginning of wheat harvest, aseason of exceeding labor and festivity and one thatpromised great plenty, when about tour o'clock tbeapproach of the British lleet was announced by thefiring of a small gun. There was no thought of opposingthe landing, and the Hessians, who were firstlet loose, entered the houses and broke open desks,trunks audclosets; robbed women ot their buckles,rings, bonnets, aprons and handkerchiefs and dasheddown china Mid looking glasses. Individuals amongthe British troops wero excessively abusive,especially to women. Then they put a torch to thetowu and left it a heap ot ruius. lu commemorationwhereof the resident* of k'airdeld are meeting on thegreen before the Town Hull and are there discussingice cream, lemonade and sandwiches.

The prosaic businessuiau will of course hurry to hia deatiuatiou byrail and ao lose half the pleasure of the trip, but thotrue tourist will station himself on the forwarddark of one of these swift floating palaces and beprepared to enjoy there the quick auoceaaion of surprise*that break upon the eyo. It is well, too,that he shall bo informed (cither by "Lossiug'sField Book of the liovolutlou" or the guide books)of the incidents pertaining to the respective localitieswhich he will paas, and thus enjoy a superaddedhiatorlo interest, for there ia not a foot ofground, until we paas tho Highlands, that is notmemorable in connection with our Revolutionarystruggle.

"The Palstades."They separate the valley of the Hudsonroni the valley of the Hackensack, the two river#lowing almost side by side for a UUtauce of thirtylilies, but effectually kept apsrt by thtamighty barrier.

It is a plum of popular summerresort, anil is accessible by steamboat and bythe Northern Kailroad of New Jersey. As we passup the river Mount St. Viuccul ami" the old castlrlike structure formerly the residence of the lateKdwiu Forrest attract atteutlou by reason oftheir picturesiiue location. The property Is nowatvnod by the Sisters ot Charity, ami the place laUiuouh lor its superior educational advantages,rho drives in this neighborhood and around lUvcriale,a short distance below, are very beautiful.

YOKKKUS AND NhhlllhOUlIOOP.Two miles above MouutHt. Vincent, ou the same aide

of the river, is Voukers, formerly an old Hutch to* uand notv one of the lovelie t semi-rustic cities on thelludHOD. Thousands of New Vorkers reside hereduring the year, the distance from the metropolisbeing only seventeen miles. Its hillsides are coveredwith pretty cottages, and those who love <iuiet amithe enjoyment of the beautiful may find it heretotheir satisfaction. Near the river is the ancientmanor house of tho Phlliipse taiuily, a spaciousstone edifice, which has become the property of thocity and is used for ofllcial purposes. The olderportion was-erected in ltW'J and tho present frontwas built in 11155. The original owner. FrederickPhillipse, who came here iu tho time of GovernorStuyve.suul, purchased all the lauds (rumthe ludiana between Croton IUver undSpuyteu lniyvll, and they were recuaveyodby royal charter. Two manor houses were conat.«tiift at Slt>f>i)V Ihtllnw ami thn nthar at

Yolikers. During the Revolution, however, the tnirdlord of the manor becoming attainted ot treason, hisproperty was confiscated and subsequently sold i>ythe State in tracts to suit purchasers. D is saidthat in this old hull was born Mary Phillipse, thebelle of her time, who ret used the hand of Washingtonfor that of Roger Morris, one of his aides-decamp.We puss now Uantings, a collection oflovely country seats almost hidden in foliage,where the army of Cornw.illis crossed the river toattack Fort Lee. It is here that Garibaldi and someof his Italian irieuds used to speud their Sundays atthe time he was kueplng a soap and candle factory onHlateu Island. Dobbs' Ferry, named alter an oldsettler and ferryman, is the nest village, and is nesrthe dividing line between the States ot New YorkaudNew Jersey. The Hudson at this point widens intoa beautiful bay once called "Tue Mediterranean Seaof tin: New Netherlands." Tile Palisades now beginto lose their precipitous formation. We glido byPiermoot, so named from a long pier that projectsinto (he river. Two miles in the rear is the ancientvillage of Tsppan, where Andre was executed. Theold bouse which served as his prison tnay still beseen.

THE HOME OF IBVISO.Irving ton, named in honor of the father of

American literature, Is nearly opposite, on the easternshore, and is tweutj-four miles troin New York.Tiie cottage of the author stands a half mile frontthe river, which is here about three miles wide, butit is nopourealed from the traveller by the trees andshrubbery that it is not visible from either the boatsor cars. It was built by Wolfert Acker, a privy councillorof Peter Htuyvesant, who bad inscribed overthe door the Dutch motto, "Lust In Kust," meaning"Pleasure in yutet." The house thus became knownus Wolfert's Kest, a name since corruptedinto Wolfert"s Roost. The eastern side of the houseis overgrown with ivy preseutod to Irving by iiirWalter Scott at Abbotsiord. Napoleon III. was stone time s visitor st Suuuyside, and Daniel Websterwas likewise a guest in 1*42, bearing Irring'a appointmentand credentials as Minister to Spain.Nyack is just across the wide bay known as TuppanZee. s stretch of wster that sometimes is almost astempestuous as an unruly lake. It is one of thegrowing snd bcautitul towns of the Hudson, aboundsin many attractive homes, and is a popular summerresort, where good tamily board may be obtained atreasonable prices.

TARRVTOWW.fringing the eye back to the east side of the river,

it lingers upon the once quaint old Dutch village ofTerwen Town, which, by easy changes, has come tobo pronounced Tarrytown, now one of the handsomestsuburbs of the metropolis. Near the rivprthe place is devoted to business, but the hills arecrowned as far as you can see with the prettiest ofcountry villas, surrounded by gardens and lawnsami adorn jd in every manner that wealth cauuiTord or taste suggest. It i* a spotwell worthy of a day's rest and ramble,for It abounds in bits of beauty and object*of local and general Interest. Historically Tarrytownis IdsnUM with the romantic story of Arnold andAnilrfe. It was here, on tho old post road, now calledBroadway, that tho laUer was captured, and in 1843a monument was erected on the spot by the citizensof Westchester county to commemorate the event.It is said that the tree beneath which Andre wasseized by Paulding, William* aud Isaac Van Wart wasstruck by lightning in Jnly, 1801, ou the very daythat Arnold died. It is also written by Irving thatthis was the heart of the debatuble ground ofthe llevolutiou between the "cow boys aud theHkinuer*." both of which were apt to confound theproperty of trieud or foe, aud "when they wrungthe ueck of a rooster little troubled their headswhether he crowed for King George or the t.'onUneutalCougress." Hero, too, is the quaiut oldeliurch at Sleepy llnllow which, dating back to theyuar ItitfV, lias luacribed in Latin upon its bell thelegend, "if God be with us wno can be against us?"Close by is the cemetery in which the remains ofIrving arc buriod, aud where the hauds of lovingirieuils never permit the flowers to fade while downscau bloom. Just below Tarry town, upon a promontory,is the Paulding manor, and the building is saidto Iw one of tlie tlneat specimens of the Elizabethanstyle of architecture in this country.

OrilKH HUNTS or l.NTKUUT.On the western shore the tourist will see embowered

between the hills the delivering point of the Ice thatcomes from dockland Lake, where In winter l,«Ut)men, more or less, are employed in outting audstoring the 'JOU.OUii tons that we draw upon in summerto muke our cobblers.

AN* EVENT IN THE SCIENTIFIC WOULD.[From the Utica (N. Y.) llcrald, July 10.[

The departure of the Arctio exploration steamerJeannotte for the north is of no ordinary interest tothe scientific world. It has been pretty clearlydemonstrated by succeasive attempts and aa many1 ailuro* that it is not possible to reach the i'olsthrough the Smith Somid or western passage. Thatthere la a warmer current passing trom the FaeitlcOcean into Uehring's Strait, which muke* that routeto the Fole more accessible, has been shown by thiscomparatively few navigaLors who have tried thatway. The difficulty with nearly every expedition bytbat route has been that it was not properly equipped.The ouly one tully equipped, that ot the Swedish explorer,Norduuskjuld, is yet iu the Folur Sea, havingmade thus tar one of the most sucoe**ful cruiseskuown to Arctic explorstion. In the matter of eciuipnicntthe Jesnnette has nothing wanting.
