. Down east latch strings; or Seashore, lakes and mountains by the Boston & Maine railroad. Descriptive of the tourist region of New England . faSr- ^- - -^ *^^ SPOUTING ROCK, KENXEBLNKPORT, ME. while the surf delights our eyes. Scarborough, and in fact, all thiscoantry-side has an eventful story, in which well-remembered namesand incidents appear, going back to the advent of the 18th century,while its very beginnings belong to the earliest discoveries in Boston colonists of 1630 were boarded when entering Salem by a 39. 40 Phanouth man going about his business at Pemaquicl. English Ashingships hovered about the ishmd for a dozen years before the Mayflowerswung to her anchorage in the ice-rimmed bay. Beyond Scarborough the train runs across Cape Elizabeth, uponwhose breezy headlands are other favorite summer resorts, crosses thelong and expensive bridge that spans Fore river, halts at the animatedMaine Central Junction, where those going to the interior of Maine,change cars, and then enters the city of Portland, rising in terraces ofarchitecture upon the bluffs at our left, as we skirt the harbor front tothe Union Station. Here we intended to spend Sunday, as it wasnow Saturday afternoon; and we therefore lost no time in betakingourselves and our baggage to the hotel. In Portland, the regular thing to do, and in this case a mostsatisfactory thing, is to ascend the Observatory on Munjoy hill, and scan the whole city, harborand outer country. This wedid immediately after tea, andin time for the sunset.
