I have been accustomed to these scenes til my life and yet every time 1 visit the most salient points there is a fresh ness about the reliefs and general con rour something new to captivate and e'.iarm the "contemplative mind.

Hv cutting away o sma 1 timber immaJiatelv above iie road a splendid view may Ihj ob- tined from this point which takes in he Blue Itidge range from the hcftd of the Hiwassee river in Towns conntv, Jearsria. to tiie neaa or iNantiev river in Union county, Georgia. Then you ee the range as it trends away in the south-west in the Tray and other m "iii i l points. turning to me western noil- zon. in the aim distance tne ionuttee a . a II 1 ti. chain is seen as it trends off southward from the Ocoee river in the neighbor hood of the Ducktown copper mines In the notcn lormed oetween tne southern terminal points of the Blue Ridsre and the Cohuttee the No;th Georgia 11. R. from Marietta to Mur phy parses." This notch consists of a low transverse ridge whivh divides the waters of the Ocoee, a tributary of the Hiwassee and the waters of the Elli jay, a tributary of the Otanoulee the one emptying into the Tennessee and the other into the Coosa, at Rome, Ga. This, topographical picture as it is seen from the Tusquittee gap is an interest ing one though not equal to some as seen from the higher altitudes. It is a. unique picture. and is remarkably accessible, being on a good public road. On the 25th 1 went with Mr. Hud son to the Wine Spring and Wahyah Balds. When Guiot was making his barometrical observations at these points he and sonre mountaineers changed the order of names hy which these points had been uniformly known calling the Wine Spring Bald Wahyah, and the Wahyah Bald Toketa. 1 regret this because cus tom had established the old order and there are reminiscences connected 'with this first order which entitled it !to perpetuity. And besides this there" is not one in a thousand of the native inhabitants who could tell you if call ed upon wh"re Toketa is and I will venture to say that there is scarcely a a guide to be found who could point it out to a tourist, 1 shall therefore fol low in. naming those points the old and customary order. y ' The Wine Spring -Bald is the high est in the group of six jroints only a fe.v miles' apart. Wine Spring Bald 5.494, Wavah Bald 5872, Rocky Bald 5323, Bufningtown Bald 5 213 the same north end 5,103, Little Bald .5,240 1 have given these respective altitudes in order to show you that there is no obstruction to the view from the 'Wine jSpring- Bald. It is indeed' the highest point west of the ; Ualsam Cham ana tne Balsam chain and the great mass about Tpnn nvpr. i It was a clear and almost cloudless day when 31r. Hudson and 1 were there a splendid day for-observatiori had not the atmosphere been sp'niewhat smoky, which gave to the outline a sort of weird ' and mysterious appearance. Indeedit sesniel to ni tgnify the pro portion: of ill? di:t?.nt chrlns .tnd givj to them an imaginary elevation a sort of half hidden sippearance remind ing one. of those ravsterious realms where the gods xlelight to revel and career amid" the regions of 'grandeur' and sublimity.' The! view is ajierfect p:inoramic one. : Itjjakes in the entire circle of the horizon i with the excep tion of the notch to .the northwest where the Ocoee cuts through the Unaka and Cohuttee chains. The single point is obstructed by the piri acle of this liocky Bald. Commencing with' Rabun Gap on the south you see all the points on the iJlne liiage ex tending through Highlands to Hog back as they trend, to the northeast. Then a little io the north you see that great mass a sbrt of trapezium, which lies between the head waters of f tick t segee, Pigeon, JJills; river, Davidson's river, French Broad, Toxaway, George town, etc. This mas is the head and front of the great Balsam, a transverse chain trending on a zigzag line to the north-west, forming a junction with the great Smoky range at. the head Oconaluftee. From this point you see the Smoky chain inits south west vyard trending with the pisses whereithe Tennessee, and lliwassee respectively cut through it, until you reach I the notch through which the Ocoee fltaws. Here the 'general- direction of - the mountains change, the chain from the Ocoee pass taking the name Cohuttee which trends nearly south. The eye follows this chain until lot in the distance in the direction of Coosawat- tee. Then to the east of the Ellnay pass you take in the Blue Hidge range, following it back on a uortheast trend to the Rabun Gap. " The space within this circle presents u picture that is be wildering a picture that beggars des cription, with its valleys and hills dot ted here and there with farm h ouses, :t .1 i - i il its ...ri-.'.e' a;m mountain tfiens, lis mountains piled upon mountains, gor ged and sculptured iato conniless re liefs. In this picture then? is a diver sity tvhich had the artistjv studio upon the sum ui it of the 'Wine Spring Bald, would require years of patient toil to transfer it all to canvas. From the Wahyah you can, with a good glass, see the court house and academy domes in Franklin! also the surround ing country taking in the beautiful valleys of lot! a and Cowe. Mr. Ed itor, when I attempt to describe this scene of grandeur and beauty this panoramic picture of nature ns it is photographed upon my brain I become u-wnueieit ana scarcely nuow now to i :i .j ...... l i . i i l i write now to c noose trom tne objec tive points which j stand out to view. It is not to be described but must be seen. and photographed upon the brain to be appreciated. ; CD. Smith. The WTine Spring itself is a spring a few hundred feet below the summit. It is pure as crystal and so cold as to make the teeth ache in taking an or dinary drink. r C. D. S. Jdc Gaston. Washington Capitol., , Hon. William Gaston, ofNorth Car olina, who was oneiof the most brill iant men ever sent here from his na tive State, it seems is not to be forgot ten by his alma mater.

Without ad- mission of even tjne evception, I ven- hire to assert not n college in our hind has on the first pnge of its register a name more to be honored than his who heads the roll of Georgetown students; for in our country's annals a worthier pattern of the Christian scholar, wise legislator, upright judge and de voted patriot cannot be found than that furnished by Gorg. town's first student, William ; Gaston, of North Carolina; and as class following class shall go out in coining years to the great work of their lives, trjey need :isk uo noble type of manhood tocopy than thtit which his career character offer, whose name I ' trust this hall shall bear." ' - A Japanese School Book. Japan sent over to the gresvt Centen nial Exhibition in 1870 u number of commissioners, mostly young men, who for intelligence compared favorably with those of any other nation. Their section of the Exhibition included the apparatus and the books in use in the public schools of Japan. Among their books was one that especially .interest ed me. It contained a cross-section and a lengthwise section of every tree and woody plant of Japan, all cat ex quistely thin, and fastened to the pages of the book, with their native names in both Japanese character and English -equivalent; and the botanical names, according to our system, .were given. The Japanese ar regarded as heathens, but whatouther nation in the world has such a school book . When JJie Exhibition was over, the com uiissioncrs g ive me this book which I highly value TIE L-octos. ditiou hits done service for nearly ten I Anl tile bouth continues to raise years, may find completion before that ' her great ;crops and remains perpetual date.

Tle nine cotton States, have receiv ed since the war a vast amount of mon ey. IThe value -of the cotton crop dur ing the ten years ending in 1880 was thre4 billions of dollars; and for he eight years just past it was equally as much. During the p s.': eighteen, years the iouth has received from the out side jvorld for cotton alone quite six billions of dollars. .Where is all this immense isum of money a sum greater than all the known silver and gold in the world? What has become of it? The South has received it, but we have none; of it left. It has come and gone None recbains. But some will say it has made the south prosperous. Where are the evidences of prosperity ?- Where is to be "seen at the South' a trace of that vast amount of monev. Six bill ions of money and nothing, left of it, and nofhing to show for it. At the .North the picture is different. Thpre evidences; or wealth abound; there great public buildings, fine residences, im- mense industries spring up as if bv magic as if some fairie s wand had wronght an enchantment. The con trast is too strong for us to part.tr it without plainly discovering our jn- uiSn(inuu, xi is u uouse 01 sname- a terrible reproach. Consider the situa tion.?

Tha need of the South to-day is earnest statesmen, who will study her condition and present it to the world in sucli shape as to secure tardy jtii ticj for our people. No section can be drained as the South has been drained and is being d.'ainedymd prosper.

Instead of a paltry $10,000,000 in our ba::ks, we would pave amassed billions of dollars. Let southern statesmen realize these facts aiid think upon them. It is thej duty of southerners to think of .their homes and of their peopb. Dun 1lus11 htis said that he and Dock ery and other Republic ins are southern men wfith northern principles-. They are southern men who advocate msas ures that 1 drain and impoverish our home people" that others may thrive and roll in riches and luxury.

Cotopaxi. . : American Magizane. Cotopaxi is the loftiest of active vol- canoes, but is slumbering now. The only evidences of action are ihe fre quent rumblings that can be heard for a hundred miles, and the cloud of smoke by , day and the pillar of fire byH nigut, wnicn constantly arise from a crater that is more than threes thous and feet beyond the reach of man. Many have attempted toelimb the mon ster, but the walls are so steep and the snow so deep that the ascent is impos sible, even with scaling ladders. On the southern slope of Cotopaxi is a great rock, more than two thousand feet high, called "the Iuca's HeadJ' Tradition says that it was once the summit of the volcano, and fell on the when Atahualph was strangled by the Spaniards. Those who have seen. Ve suvius can judge of the grandeur off tht, Cotopaxi if they can imagine a volca no-15,000 feet higher, spurting flau.e. and lava from a crest covered with 400 feet of snow, with a voice that I has been heard COO miles. And one i can judge of the grandeur of scenery onthe road to Quito if he can imaging twent the hi h(rst moaufcjailJ in America, three of them active volcanoes standing along the road f fom Washington to New York. The Dear Women. This is the right kind of talk. If we had more ot it we would get along better: . 1 believe in women. I believe they are the sweetest, purest, most unset- sni part of the human nice. I have no doubt on this subject, what ever. They sing the melody in all human life, its well as the - melody in mii' ie. They carry the leading part, at least in the sensj that thiv are a step in advance of in till the way in the journey heavenward. I believe that they cannot move very widely out of the sphere which they now occupy, . and remain as good as they now are; and I deny that thy beliefs rest upon my sentimentality, or jealousy or yiy other weak or unworthy basis. A man who has experienced a mother devotion, a wife's self-sacrificing kye and a daughter's affection, and is grate4 ful for all, may beweakry sentunenta about some thing, but not about wo men. He would help every woman he loves to the exercise of all the right? which hold dignity and happiness. He would fuht that she might have those rights, if necessary; but he would ' rather have her lose her voice entirely tnan to hear her sound a bass note long as a demi-semi-quaver. as Tariff Philosophy. St.. Paul Pioneer-Press, Rep. Wht is the tariff? A tax put uy on imported articles in order that such goods shall be manufactured in Amer ica.' The object of so doing? The protection of those who have invested or will invest their money in manu facturing. The result? Protection to the manufacturer an additional charge to every man, woman and child who purchtises their articles. But it is claimed that the tariff increasesthe wa ges of the American mechanic. Is this . i . -iii it truer It migut-ue so ir mere was a tariff upon- tjie importation of workers from abroad; but as such is not the t . l ri'i " " '. 1 1 case, it does not. mere are more tuaii enough foreigners landed on pur shores to supply the increased demand: for workers caused by the opening of new factories. On what basis does the pre sent tariff rest? A war basis. Has the war ceased? Gen. Grant, wh knew sill about it, said so.fflnd rejoiced iu the fact. His assertion is backed up by Gen. Sherman, who marched with "Boys iu Blie" from Atlanta to the sea. Looking Aftsr Grapes. Grapevines will need attention. Pinch in the new. growth "and kesp them within bounds, and thin the fruit.
