For the Gazette.

Foreign Correspondence. From D'Evian to Einsiedeln

you pass through the cities of Fribourge, Lucerne and .Berne, all of .which, like other Swiss cities, are very beautiful. The country is such as is seen only in Switzerland: grand and picturesque scenery, high mountains, wild and savage valleys, charming lakes, etc. But the principal feature of this trip, is the Lake of the Four Cantons, known as Lake Lucerne but called Lake of the Four Cantons, on account of the Cantons of Unterwalden, Uri, Schwyz and Lucerne, which, surround it, Unequaled" in grandeur and beauty, by any other of the Alpine lakes, it is, perhaps, the most interesting in the world. The impression made by its grand and varied scenery, is greatly enhanced by its historical associations, of which Schiller has traded one. of the most thrilling in hi3 admirable drama of "William Tell." The entire, lake is closed in by high mountains, whose elected peaks and rugged cliffs, tower high above the water in terrible grandeur. The lake is in the form of a cross, of which the city of Lucerne is the summit, the gulfs of Kusnacht and Alpnach the two arms, and the lakes of Buochs and Uri the base. Lucerne from the boat presents a beautiful appearance, with its high towers, and quaint old Swiss architecture.

On the left is IStount dilate, so called from an old legend, that Pilate being recalled, to Rooae, waa sept intjO Switzerland frhWe, with' the* Rohaan legion under his command, he was supposed to have perished near this moun tain. However, this legerd must be taken "with a few grains ot allowance." On the right, appears the chain of the Rigi Mountains, a place much frequented By English tourists. The appearance of Mount Pilate is very striking. Its bare and rent peaks, surrounded by clouds, contrasts strangely with the scenery of the neighboring landscapes, and especially with Mount Rigi, whose base is covered with gardens and orchards, while the sides and summits are crowned with green forests and pasture grounds. This mountain is the great- center where the travel-ers-i1flSwfteertkiirme and ih ofder to render the ascent .more accessible, and less fatiguing, a steam railway has been constructed from the. banks of the lake to the vei-y top, a height of about seven thousand feet. Through a gorge of the Rigi can be seen in the distance, a little town called Gersau, in the midst of rocks, and situated on the very summit of the mountain. During four centuries this little corner of earth, scarcely tht-ee miles square, and peopled by a thousand inhabitants formed an' Independent State, the smallest and highest-in the VorYd,' but' the FI1ehch conquered it in 1798.

In going to "Notre Dame des Ermites," we debarked at Brunnen, about half way between the tei^iainus of the lat^s,' land without doubt the most picturesque spot we had seen. Here the two banks approached very near to each other. On the oppositejgfeore^ m-front ot tlg&tatfng is a small platteau, fortned by a clin in the mountain and covered with trees and shrubbery. It is here that on the night of September 7th, 1307, Walter Furst, Werner and Stanffachy\ three,Swiss &fi$es§ acco mpd&fed by &irt$ tt§h i^met TneSrder to mlaWe a solefnn at the first rays of the morning sun, to deliver their country from the tyranny of the Austrians. According to tradition, three fountains gushfcdfor*^ on the very spot. The oath of the three Swiss patriots has become famous in history. A little lower

down, can be perceived a small chapel near the water's edge, one of the curiosities to be seen in Switzerland, called Tell's Chapel, constructed by the Canton of Uri, in 1388, thirty-one years after the death of William Tell, and consecrated in the presence of 114 persons, who had been intimately acquainted with the liberator of Switzerland. It is built on the spot where Tell lauded, after having thrown himself from Gessler's boat. This place is held in great esteem by his compatriots, and is visited once a year by all the Canton, who come thus to honor the memory of their great chieftain.

The scenery from D'Evian to St. Bernard is all sublime. We go to the upper end of Lake Geneva by boat, thence traverse the picturesque valley of the Rhone on the railway, as far as Martigny, situated at the foot of the Alps thence, twenty-seven miles on foot, before reaching St. Bernard. The road, which is now very good, does not cross any mountains after leaving the town ofMartigny, but passes through a wild and savage valley, which descends from the Alps, and is hemmed in on both sides by high mountains. A mountain stream traverses the entire length of the valley, the water of which is produced by the melting of the glaciers, and is so cold"that it even renders the air chilly. In some places the mountain sides so nearly approach each other that there is only room for the stream, the road being cut along the side of the mountains often passing through small tunnels sometimes descending into the valley, and winding its way among broken fragments of rock, some of which are of immense proportions, and torn from their lofty positions, have been dashed to the button by the terrible avalanche. Again the road stretches up the mountain sides. Above appear ledges of rock, which are piled up in frightful magnificence, whilst below yawns a precipice, whose side is perfectly perpendicular. Several hundred feet below appears the stream, now seeming no larger than a serpent, and yet it is a river. Its noise, as it dashes along its rocky bed, sounds like a gentle breeze among the tree-tops, and yet, were you on its banks, the deafening roar of cannons would be lost amid the echoes awakened by its turbid passage.

Arrived withiu six miles of the Hospice of St. Bernard, all vestage of a road ceases the mountains become higher the ascent steeper and more difficult. A mule can but with difficulty pursue its way. This is the commencement of the Pass," the only one, except the Simplon, by which the Alps can be crossed. It is here that terribly perish so many of the unfortunate travelers, who attempt to cross "the Pass of St. Bernard." The whole way is dangerous, but this portion especially so. At almost every stage are seen little wooden crosses, placed to mark the spot where some one has met his death and you insist remember that these crosses are only placed where bodies have been found. How many are there, who, far from all human aid, have here perished, whose bodies, buried beneath the debris of falling rocks, have never been recovered On every side appear the marks of desolation. The valley is strewn with immense boiflders which the avalanches have torn from the mountain-side1in their descent. Among these you must find your way as best you can. It it true, hat long poles are placed at intervals of fifty feet to mark the way, but when the snow is thirty-five or forty feet in depth, they are often covered or overthrown by the storms, and the poor traveler can but trust to a kind Providence to guide him through such peril.

When I passed, it was in mid-summer, and the snow had disappeared from the lower part of the valley but the upper part, although at that time entirely without danger, was a.terriblsfspectacle, and gave me a very disagreeable idea of what it must be in the midst of winter. Today, even despite the precautions that are taken, and the zeal and devotedness of the monks,- the traveler often loses all trace of the road, and deaths are frequent. If he is surprised by a fog, or by the approach of night, (which is very sudden in these narrow valleys) if he succumbs to fatigue, he waits in vain for assistance, calls in vain for aid the silence of the 'debert surrounds him the mountain echoes alone respond to his cries. It is'above all, when the snow season add3 its influence to the eternal rigor of these high regions,, that the dan-

gersof this passage become more imminent, and show the absolute necessity of the Hospice of St Bernard. From the last of September uutil $une, thick fogs and deep beds of Shows, accumulated by the,, winds and: tempests, occupy the narrow gorges of the Alps. Even with the .precautions of to-diaj* the traveler who would on certain dags, venture into these formidable passages

strong and experienced guide, would be reckless of life. In winter, after passing the last habitations, fifteen miles from the Hospice, not a^estige of a foot-^ath can be found. Danger besets you at every step. The snow, transported and heaped up by the wind, offers a barrier difficult to cross, and often conceals an abyss, ready for the victim.J If the sk^ is ^ure,: you see several s.teep, and narrow valleys, withoht kitowihg which to take. If enveloped by the fog, you kn,qw not where you are, nor Whither going, and hoping to advance, return upon ibre v^y steps already effaced. The wind, which seems at first gentle, soon becomes a tempest, and deprives the traveler of respiration, surrounds him with a whirlwind of snotf, filling his. eyesf ears, nose, hair, clothing, and covering him with a coat of ice. His march then becomes slower,, his members benumbed with cold, and he falls as it were into a state of lethargy.: »If in this unhappy situation, he has the misfortune to. sit down, all is over.} "He yields without pain to a propound sleep, sure precursor ®f death, and aWaKer .to consciousness in another world.

If the intensity of the cold is so great a peril to those who cross the mountain in mid-winter, what is to be said of the avalanche,,.this terrible scourge of the AlpS? After 4 fall of fresh snow, the danger is always great. All trace of the road is effaced, and the experience of the best guide is of but little value. Suspended upon' steep declivities and on slippery, bed^ of ice, the snow, without theTeast ktfjpport, precipitates itself with fury along

the sides,

A few days ago a man residing in the Ninth Ward, named Ruskowski, after being sick with the small-pox for some time, died, as was supposed. According to the regulations recently passed by the Board of Health, he was buried shortly after his disease. His sister, who, it seems, was not satisfied with the hasty manner in which her brother was disposed of, was so worked up by the circumstances and so certain that all was not right, that to satify herself she had his body exhumed some six hours after the burial, To her own joy, and to the amazement of those whohad pronounced the man dead, it was found that indications of life still remained in the body of the buried one. He was at once taken back to his house, and after considerable exertion, and the applying of the proper restoratives, he was virtually brought to life again. Heis now living and doing

HAIR VIGOR,

For the Kenoyatioii of the Hair! The Great Desideratum of the Age! A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only beuefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable-. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and. yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
