Below are the most disastrous fatalities
from this cause.- . . . .
The loss of life at the Herculanean and
Pompeii, A. D. 79, was small, - but both

upheaval of 1755, when the town was
completely engulfed in a few minutes.
At the same time 12,000 M cores perished
in Morocco, . ,
In 1693 Sicily was nearly wrecked by
an earthquake. 54 cities and 300 villages

How cold, ho -gark -now ondefined
the world looks ia the jnvsterloua silence
of twilight that precedes , the comintr of
day,. I stand pa thegreat jutting rock of
iajsars nead tnat rears its massive,, vis
age 3000 feet above' the meadows' and
plains, like some 'Titar king viewing
with grim stolidity the immensity of ail
hia undisputed possessionfl; th string
wind like a breath from his mighty lungs
01081.1111; me from my feet, causing me
crouch flat upon theock, and clutch
my fluttering shawl more tightly around
jnpi'i All is vague, indistinct as yet to the
f ve. . Cloud -aad- sky, mist, mountain,
and valley, are .a chaotic mass that in
their shifting , motion puzzles me as to
whether they are gazing upon earth ,or
sky; 1 No twitter of birda. no ; clarion of
cocks, give token: of 'approaching day.
There are no clouds On the Eastern hor
izon, no mantles of glory to shield the
brightness of the day king, and save a
lumirous blush he bursts forth unher
alded upon the grey bleak world, work
ing a transformation as marvellous as that'
in the creation wlenied said,-Let
there be. Lightl tn7 it is wonderful 1
whiitaxiiat oould paist, what - pendes
crihe the magical-effect! Far out beyond
the soft undulation of plains, extending
until the rotundity of our sphere hides
them from vision, throbs the lestless
bosom of the broad - Atlantic. Yonder
.distant peak like a "blue patch on the
LSouthern sky is King's Mountain 130
nines distant, and opposite to this is
Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Ga., 170
miles away, these two being 300 miles
apart. Whitesides with its dazzling pre
cipice glittering in the sun can be seen
distinctly. Mitchell and Craggy scarce
show their frowning faces, through the
angry breath ot storni clouds that environ
them. Pisgah like Borne gracious queen ,
smiles in unclouded beauty on the tran
quil hills that lie around her. Scarcely
more than a stone's throw is Table Rock
a -darksome, unapproachable looking
mountain, with precipitous sides. Like
tiny white doves-that have nestled for
lest amid the weary waste of mountain 1
and plain, lie the towns, of Greenville,
Spartanburg, Laurens, Ilendersonville,
and Walhalht. How hard it is to realize
that those white specks are not the abode
of quiet and solitude, but bustling towns,
nued witn , nusenng, jostling, leverish
humanity. A peculiar illusion is to look
down immediately below, the- dizzy
height of the precipice, on what appar
ently is a penecuy level plain, thickly
covered with most - luxurious verdre.
The largest forest trees-look no taller
than shrubs a couple of feet high, an
eagle hovering above them, that we on
the lower earth would regard as clearing
the sky, appears "no larger than a spar
row in the great depth below; but the.
wonder 01 an, is to be told that this
seemingly level land, are the wooded
tops 01 mountains that are not discerna
ble when looked at from the immense
DreciDice above. How musical is the
sound of rushing waters that have lept
down soy leet or rock at Kavenscliff, to
madly race through the impenetrable
gorge lying black in the gloomy depths.
Our fancy pictures . the course of the
stream; from its birth in a soft little mossy
cradle on the mountain top, - gurgling in
babyhood at the nrst peep ot sunshine;
laughing in happy childhood as it plays
with pebbles and sand; then dashing in
tempestuous youth over dark rocks and
cliffs that beset its pathway, until it
reaches the monotony of middle life to
glide into the passionless peace of age, and
be swallowed in the ocean the emblem
of eternity. In a spirit of adventure I
scramble down a crevice in the solid
granite, and after some perilous descents,
I find myself in the Devil's drawing
room, a more appropriate title I thought
would have been his charnel house. I
was told that a clergyman had addressed
a sermon to a small congregation a few
Sundays ago telling them this rock was
riyen -asunder at the-moment lof The
Crucifixion. What a relief to discover a
small aperture opening. upon a romantic
path, winding among shady trees, and
frequently affording tho most charming
views, it is disappointing to find cmsar's
Head in no way resembling its namesake.
but more suggestive of a toothless boar. I
am (Pointed, out a croup called. Caisai's
family upon a - rock stained
by decaying - lichens,- it looked
to mo like a funeral train' upon
antique Egyptian potter'. There are
no end to the innumerable quaint fig
ures and groups the imagination can
discern upon . these weather-stained
rocks,- but to me the distant views are
much more attractive. About 2 p. m.
Dr. Miles called our attention to (he phe -nomenal
aspect of the atmosphere such
as he had never witnessed during his
fifteen years residence. The country
that had been so clearly visible in the
morning was entirely hidden by a dark
smoke-colored haze, we" felt as if wo were
stranded on a desert island isolated from
the world, the sun shining enclouded
above. We saw no sunset, the horrizon
was colorless with haze. At night a
gale of wind was blowing, we went upon"
tho piazza to view the stars that were
shining with supernatural brilliancy, ,
but the biting blast drove U3 shivering,
and chattering back to the comfort of a
glowing fire - in the parlor. The wind
increased, and shortly before 10 p. m
evenamid'the din of rattling windows.
and roaring tempest we could hear the
ominous growl of the earthquake, and
feel vibrations that caused the moun
tains to tremble. It was not sufficient
however to cause alarm, and indeed was
not noticed, by some. I cannot close
without expi-essing my admiration of the
hotel so scrupuously clean and comforta- !
ble, and with a most delightful host in j
