superior skill in nianagjmg aud governing,

It was unanimous, . c, to have a good,

themselves i;and soon called us to a sub
stantiallreiuist, with ''apple dumplings"
as ilessei t. The latter word soon became,

dinner, j thi party visited Fair Vicwj

the source of the Yadkin, or, as it is call
ed belojv Salisbury, the Pee Dee Biyer;
The outlook .from both Fair View and
Blowing Rock is niagnilicent. From

can only be excelled by those from the

Seiifing the night very pleuRautly,at
Mr. Shirreirs, the party started bright
and early iext morning for the "Grand
Father!" This day we lunched on the
banks f the Watauga a lovely stream.
While jit lunch the party was surprised
by a sHowejiybut was too well "broke 'in"
to give; way. Gathering up the wet frag
ments,! we proceeded on our rugged way :
Miss dassidey was Cli(ii)mbing along;
Miss Heudelsou was Baskin(y), while
others kvere Ruttin' it np Hill tbe best
theycouhL Jst t this juncture a lone
horsenian iwas discovered. He looked
kinder! bashful like, and when interogat
ed saiii his name was Baldy Henderson,
from Yjauceyyille. Then there was a stir
in camp, and the .Hills echoed the loud
cheers Mr. Henderson ju oveel to be a
i-elMtivU of Miss Henderson, and they
seemed happy at w odd a meeting. Mr.
H. joined the party loaned his horse to
the gills, aud onward aud upward the
part v jnov'd all happy. By night they
had reached Mr. Calaway's at the foot of
the "Grand Father." The rain con tinned
duriug! part of the night and it was feared
that ni'xt day would be foul, and conse
quently ua!! view. .But. with the morning
came evidences of dealing up, aud the
party jbegan the ascent. This is a very
difficult mountain to ascend, but the la
dies stood it reinarkt bly well Mins Baker
in thejlead. On gaining the summit, wc
were amply rewarded the clouds were
hidi aiid ohlv added more beauty to the
grandeur of the scene before us. 1 he day
was pleasantly spent aud the party came
downloaded with sticks, stones, mosses,
ferus.i&ci velics. Next morning the par-
tv determined to ro to Linyille f ans, ana
in si short rime were travelliui: down the

mountain heather, terns, irrasses and
mosses, being the only growth, save a
few. spruce and balsam trees.- From this
mountain we have a view in all directions:
Looking northward, the eye rests on the
Uuikas, or Iron Mountains, Stone Moun
tain and. the Chillhowee Mountains; to
the east, the Grand Father and its sur
rounding hills rise before you; to the
south, lies the beautiful valley in wliich
Bakeisville is situated; to the westward,
mountain rises above mountain until the
line which divides the land from the sky
pales attay the natural eye fails to note
the distinction between land aud skv.
This is probably the finest view iu the
State, except that from Mitchell's Peak ou
the Black, and that hardly surpasses it.
1 his beiugtJue last; place of interest,
the party 'hurried on to 1 Marion, N C,
whero they took the train, and arrived
safely in Hickory on Wednesday uight,
This was a most enjoyable trip-all
pleasant, social, aud each seemed bent on
giving up individual pleasure "that the
whole party might enjoy more. We have
omitted a. great many thiugs, but have
nether the time nor space tb.de vote to them.
Nothing short of another "Land of the

Continuous Rains and a Disastrous
Storm in England. London, August
18. Severe storms are. reported from
various quarters of fengiaud, cansing
much damage to crops and interruption
to railway traffic. Iu consequence ot the
storm traffic on the line of railway be
tween Chester and Holyhead is suspen
ded. The viaduct at blanddulas, Wales

There.have been thirty hours of contin
uous .rain at Cheater. In Derbyshire,
the Trent and Derwent rivers have over

' RocVing v Train Capture of the
Guilty-Parties. Saturday, morning as
the down passenger train on the Atlanta
& Charlotte Air Line Railroad passed a
saw mill, seventy miles this side of At
lanta, a half dozen or more rocks were
thrown at the passenger car, one of which
passed through an open window and
struck Mrs. Simms, wife of Capt. P. B.
Simms, conductor, ou the arm, inflicting
a painful wound. .Capt. Simms, who was
sitting in the seat with her at the time,
stopped the train as soon as possible aud
the train's crow, accompanied by a num
ber of the passengers went in search of
the miscreants. Thev found a house near

, UNsaop Houses. Some time since tlie
London Christian Union called attention
to the fact that an experieneeil farrier of
England reported that horses did better
without than with shoes. A writer in
the Times has been trying the experiment
and thns reports: When my pony's
shoes were worn out, I had them, remov
ed, aiid gave a mouth's rest at grass, with
An occasional drive of a mile or two on
the highroad, while his hoofs were hard
euiug. The result at first seemed doubt
ful. ' The hoof was a thin shell, and kept
chipping away until it hail worked down
beyond the holes of tho nails by which
the shoes bad been fastened. After this
the hoof grew thick awl hard, quite nn
Bke what it had been before. 1 now put
the pony to full work, and he' stands it
welL He is more sure-footed : his tread
ja almost noiseless j his hoofs are in no
