[1]Bell’s house, when we leave the road, is midway between Nashville and
Louisville, and 90 miles from each city.
[2]In St Louis I saw part of a panorama of the Upper Mississippi, which
a French artist named Pomerade has been engaged on for some years,
and which he has nearly finished. It is beautifully painted, and must
prove very interesting, for he has introduced Indian scenes, customs,
&c., and has also machinery which sets the steam-boats agoing, &c. He
intends to have four views from the Mammoth Cave as drop-scenes; if
he succeeds in giving anything like a faithful representation of
them, it will add much to the _eclat_ of his picture.
