the lovely scenery, and: the I carefully

ers were astir in the fields, some Blonsh
ing between the rows of standing cern,
others swinging their cradles in the oat
fields, 'or:opening up the heaps of fragrant
grass and clover of yesterday's, mo wing,
Xb-e panorama of farm life became more
attractive, as the morning- advanced.
After' Arden Park station was nassed.
th e landscape gradually broadened until
the travelers saw that they were in .the
centre of a great elliptical plateau bound
ed b; lofty mountains, i A wonderfully
rich agricnltural country is this and well
cultivated also. The corn stood in lone
linea like regiments on-"dress parade,
and rows of wheat shocks glistened in
tne morning sun like the tents of an en
campments Bright clear branches dash
ed swiftly over-their rocky, beds, their
sinuous courses marked by thickets of
elder and by clumps of sweet briar gay
with blossoms.' Fat oxen and clean
wholesome milch cows browsing in their
pastures, raised their heads to look for a
moment at the strange monster that went
sweeping by. . The forests, ; "dressed in
living green," varied the landscape and
added to its picturesque charms. Occa
sionally at the cross roads -would be a
group of women and children gazing with
undisguised wonder at the to them novel
sight. - ..'-
Aside front (be loveliness Of the land
scape, and the fertility of tbe land, the
most noucaWe feature of the ride from
this city to Henderson ville were the ev
idences of thoroughness in the construc
tion of the road bed, and the Jaying of
the tracks The few trestles and bridges
are built of selected timber and are all
securely braced, i The cats 'are - wide
enough to prevent the caving of their
walls from obstructing the traca.,: 1 -
Aiucn Jilling has been done already.
and the embankments have' broad foun- i
dations and ouGloienily wide margins at
their tops to insure against and Dlunrins
of cars dowp their sides in case of derail
ment. . - :
All that experience and skill could ac
complish has been done - to make thee
twenty-two miles of road between here
and Hendersonyille as safe from acci
dent as possible. The train ran smooth
ly without- any perceptible jarring or
bumping an unusual thing for a new
road.
When this road shall have been bal
lasted, as it soon will be, it. will be as
firm and smooth as any in the country.
Jb rom Heddersonville to Tryon City,
the road winds its way among the moun
tains, the roughest and most difficult
part of it being the three miles between
Saluda and Melrose, where the grade is
somewhat over 233 feet to the mile. Tbe
recent change of guage: the sharp grade
and the decayed condition of many of
the cross ties will for a Bnort tame com
pel conductors and engineers to run
over this part of the road more slowly
than on the remainder. - A large force of
convicts are engaged in repairing the old
road bed, filling hollows over which the
track is now-on trestles, laying new ties,
and doing -whateveVMse ' is needed to
put it in the Bailie excellent condition as
on all other parts of the road. - .- '
From Tryon' city to Spartanburg the
track- passes through ; a level country:
much of it under cultivation and all of
it suitable for farms, orchards and vine
yards, or for dairies or stock raising.
The many bare skeletons of trees mat
Btand in -these fields, . the . log, cabins,
none of them old, and the few new frame
residences to be seen between Polk coun
ty and Spartanburg, all convince the
traveler that most: of this section has
been settled but recently;;: for it Isto
outward appearanCe'the counterpart of ,
what the- country . between Rochester
and Buffalo was when the first railroad
was built between these cities All the ;
region between '.-the Blue " Ridge - and
Asheville,' although it has been 1 partly
settled for many years,' has bat a small
population compared to that .'which will
occupy it now that the railroad is built,
and qiiick tran6portatioh;-ha3 become ' a
certainty Instead of an ever, present but
ever postponed hope. : Years hence, (and
not very .- many) . all -that 'Elliptical
plateau, that has been only ..utlined and
not fully described; will be one of the
great garden .'spots of Western Korth
Carolina; sending its products to Ashe-:
ville and Spartanburg and to many oth
er cities. : In other' words a' loeal busi
ness will eventually grow op on the line
of this railroad large enough to . pay its
operating expenses,. While with its coi
nectionsat either, endr it must become
an important thoroughfare,' and derive
large, profits from through, freight and
passenger traffic. " - -

Night Blooming Ceieus. j ;-;5
On Wednesday evening, thanks to
I the. thoughtful kindness of the Rev,
James Atkins and Mr. Branner (pro
prietors of the Asheville green houce
cultivators of floral ;as, well, as
femnine graces, we had the rare plea
sure of witnessing the blooming of
two specimens of the Night Bloom
ing Cereus, the first to our knowledge
that ever bloomed west of the Blue
Ridge, though we do not assert that
they were.
It -is .passing strange: that this
beautiful flower exhibits the coyness
capriciousness or pride of blooming
in the dark hours of the night It
blooms on a very rough and coarse
stalky anJL perhaps like human pro
totype, .raised by beauty into pub
lie worshtp.shames to be reminded
of hei fustic birtrf, by -rude present-
But , the splendid jower- is Wei
worth hunting inthe darkness, and
thertificfal lightbrihgs out the
full impression of its ioyeliness. .
Few have seen it, and we, will note
some general featufes of the plant
and flower. TheA Cereus is a native
of Brazil, or - other parts of tropical
America. it is . pne oi tne niany
forms ot cactas.comtosed of a rough
spiny stem, which extends itself to
length of many feet, sometimes with
branches: but without - leaf, The
flower bud forms -at any season of
the year, on any part of the stem.
apparently without choice of place,
and - grows" andswells, until some
night it begins to burst, and by mid
night is in its glory of a few fleeting
hours: for it perishes with the com'
ing pf the day The flower is much
like the water lily, nymphcea lutea.
of the eastern counties, though con-t
SiderablyJarger. The calyx is com
pc3edt)f many lanceolate . leaves of
delicate greenish brown; within, the
corolla spreads out its many leaves
of similar form, but " of the purest
white. A long pistil from the Cen
tre shoots out its length far beyond
the cup, and this is capped with a
pure '- white . star shaped stigma.
Around the pistil most delicately
interlaced are numerous thread like
filaments, delicate and transparent
as spun' glass, on each of .which
rests r a delicate anther,' also of pur
