Albany is the capital of the State of New York, and our road from
Trenton to West Point lay through that town; but these political
State capitals have no interest in themselves. The State legislature
was not sitting, and we went on, merely remarking that the manner in
which the railway cars are made to run backward and forward through
the crowded streets of the town must cause a frequent loss of human
life. One is led to suppose that children in Albany can hardly have
a chance of coming to maturity. Such accidents do not become the
subject of long-continued and strong comment in the States as they do
with us; but, nevertheless, I should have thought that such a state
of things as we saw there would have given rise to some remark on the
part of the philanthropists. I cannot myself say that I saw anybody
killed, and therefore should not be justified in making more than
this passing remark on the subject.

When first the Americans of the Northern States began to talk much
of their country, their claims as to fine scenery were confined to
Niagara and the Hudson River. Of Niagara, I have spoken, and all
the world has acknowledged that no claim made on that head can be
regarded as exaggerated. As to the Hudson, I am not prepared to say
so much generally, though there is one spot upon it which cannot be
beaten for sweetness. I have been up and down the Hudson by water,
and confess that the entire river is pretty. But there is much of
it that is not pre-eminently pretty among rivers. As a whole it
cannot be named with the Upper Mississippi, with the Rhine, with the
Moselle, or with the Upper Rhone. The palisades just out of New York
are pretty, and the whole passage through the mountains from West
Point up to Catskill and Hudson is interesting. But the glory of the
Hudson is at West Point itself; and thither on this occasion we went
direct by railway, and there we remained for two days. The Catskill

 Albany is the capital of the State of New York, and our road from 
 Trenton to West Point lay through that township; but these political 
 State capitals have no sake in themselves. The State legislature 
 was not sitting, and we went on, merely comment that the manner in 
 which the railway cars are make to run backward and ahead through 
 the crowded streets of the township must cause a frequent loss of human 
 life. One is leave to suppose that children in Albany can barely have 
 a luck of coming to adulthood. Such accidents do not become the 
 subject of long - continued and strong comment in the States as they do 
 with us; but, however, I should have thought that such a state
