Many observers behove these mountains of western North Carolina to be tic very thing as to climate. My im pression is a favorable one as to this spot, the valley of Flat Creek aud its adjacent ridges. The hot weeks oi .Inly and August arc very pleasant here: they might be. -till more- so some thousands of feet higher, though care must lo taken to avoid a point where the air ever iiecomes too cold; the air. on the whole, is very dry and balmy: water is pure and like "the nectar of the gods." Put these good things to gether with all else I have named above, and it may be tor all the year round 1 using in winter glass galleries protected lor exercise whenever the air was too raw a consumptive might live here and keep his fearful enemy at bay. While men of wealth are com bining to build railroads and run lines ol great vessels to meet the demands ol travel and commerce, let some of them think of this en terprise, yvhieh will pay anil be -uch an enormous benefit to man kind. 1'roni the lofty sides of the "Craggy " or "(l rev beard" could bo scaled and if at height oi four thousand live hundred to five thou sand leet found better than spots like this on the railroad at two thousand four hundred feet eleva tion, the great "Lung Cure" might be located on them. As far as I can judge from ac counts of others, the very summits of the great ranges aro too foggy ;: and cold. Even the "Cloudland Hotel"' on the Koan, at six thou sand feet, though on a great tlat ex panse, is hardly suitable. I have seen it stated that the French phy sicians have found greatest success with situations under rive thousand feet ; Davos is mnch higher, but has a peculiar elevation of temperature from reileet 1011 from the all-enveloping snow . and Dr. Felix Oswald, of New York, recommends three thousand or lour thousand feet in North or South Carolina. In my native county anil the adjoining one south of it Nelson and Am herst 111 Virginia, probably as good points con Ul be found, requiring' branch railroads. . Let the mere seeker of recreation or pleasure, the traveler and the worn tmt merchant or other business man, the jaded politician, have his, Saratogas and N'owports. his White Sulphurs and Thousand Islands: but yvhat I plead for is something very dilTerent. sacred to the restor ing of health in a disease at once the most prevalent and the most I fatal. l'At'I. WHITKIIF.AIh I t 111 iiese A rt. The Chinese claim for their ar- ' lists successes qmte equal to what is reported of the celebrated Creek j painters Xeuxis and Parrhasius. The former painted fruit so like the ' real that when his picture was ex-! hibited. birds came and tried to feed upon the painted grapes. e- ' lighted yvith this tribute to hi talent, he Ivegged of his rival that he would remove the veil from be- : fore his canvas and exhibit his 1 work, only to find that he had him self been deceived, for the veil was a painted one. and was itself what the rival arti.-t had brought to show 111 proof ot hi.- -kill. A writer from Peking say .-: Many anecdotes arc on hand re garding the achievements of the old masters. Thus, we are told of a painter in the third century who. yvheii he had finished a screen for the Fmperor, added some '.lies to the picture by a few touches of the pencil here and there. Great was ins gratification at seeing his Maic.-ty take up a handkerchief to dr: y e : ho-e :l les away.

Letters were received from the vicinity of Charleston, asking assistance, and they were referred to the mayor of, Charleston for his consideration. I Wm. K. Dodge, chairman of the ( committee, stated that he had re ceived a letter from mayor Courte nay. in which he said that climatic and sanitary reasons now compelled a return to such houses as were habitable. They could live for a time without plastering and other discomforts and the people were all cheerful and more calm, and he adtled that the people of Charles ton would hold as beyond price, through all time, their identifica tion with the common American citizenship which came to them in their great trials, strong to help, strong to lift up. Charleston would never forget all that had been done lor her. Dr. Simonds, president of tb s First national bank ot Charles-. ton. suggested that a building as-: sociatiou should be formed to loan j money at a low rate of interest to j tiie people of Charleston for rebuild-1 ing the city and the suggestion was ! referred to the committee for con-1 sideration. j At the meeting of the relief com mittee today it yvas stated that it , will take at 'least .fl.qnO.nOO to put' necessary repairs to houses of per- sons aide and tion will yy dio aie utterly unable, r.n- . to make their houses safe habitable.

Often encumbered with mortgages, these structures cannot be repaired without help. My knowledge of and my association w ith these people have given me abundant opportunity p. learn these facts, and I have been greatly im pressed with the immediate necessity of relief to them. Funds must be raised by voluntary contributions to assist this class, and thus by relieving them a cla-ss above them is free to restore tin ir own injured property, which they are able and willing to do. The great or ganization which you represent coul i do nothing more in accordance with their principles and practice than to assist in this great Christian effort. Very truly, yours. S. YV. Crawford.

The most u-rrilic cyclone that ever visited the rliustern shore of Virginia within the memory of living men swept through this town Sunday night, overturning houses, blowing down trees and leaving destruction in its track. The storm ap proached from a southwestern direc tion, and was preceded by a long and vivid display of lightning. Just before ti.e ciaa aic hurst upon the town a fun inl -haped cloud was seen approaching, yy .tit a i.'ji. roaring noise that awak en. 1 those who had retired to Bleep. 1 'nancock is situated between two ar s of Unancock creek, a broad and I p estuary of the Chesapeake bay. I cyclone in passing over the south arm of the creek took up a huge s of yvater. and forming a water it viae. red it down with destructive i.ce n that part of the town 'ii-'li yy inch it passed. The track of "1" :.- w; ie. and lav through the west- i or 1 yver end of the town, where l uii aings are cot close together, erwise the destruction would have t i; neon much greater. Nearly all the trees in that part of the town were blown down, many great oaks that had v.-.thstood the storms of a century being t 'rn up by the roots or twisted off a few Let hl ' v..- tiie ground. Ca;t. J hn II. I.. Hopkins had his n.eat-hou-e f rown over a high fence in.! Ian. led in the street, fiftv feet or n. ;: :n where, it stood.

M yvas bloivn over and set fifteen or twenty yards away in the middle of the street. Capt. Thomas Johnson, the . '..".e-t inhabitant of the town, had the front p. n h and all the chimneys of his ('.yet 1,. tig-house blown down, and his barn . .-tiLR.- and other outhouses blown t ntii-. ly away, though the horses in the staples were left unhurt. As the cyclone approached the north err: branch of the creek it seemed to gather fre.-h strength, and swept every thing before it. The house in which Shepperd Horsey, a worthy colored man, lived yvas torn to fragments and, with all the contents, blown across the creek, s uie of tne heavy timbers of the house yy ere blown nearly a mile, and a pitcher and a piece of ice yveighing five or six pounds were carried several hundred yards across the creek. Horsey lost everything he had, including "about fifty dollars in money, and if he and his wife had not been out at the time they would hardly have escaped death. Iu crossing the southern arm of the creek the cyclone again gathered up a great column of w ater, which it poured down on the land, cutting holes in the earth. As the storm passed through the family burying ground on the farm of Mrs. Catherine Poulson the wind blow some of the largest tombstones ov, r. wldle it broke others off like reed- close to the ground.
