one in the beautiful blue waters at Wa

the Hurricane wOolen-mills of Hillman

L found here every convenience 70
trout-fishing. First, you catch a min
now, and put him alive on your trout
hook, and cast him into the creek, anC
let the cork drift him away out int
the stream, and then wait till your trou
gets a fair swallow of him, and ther
wind him in on your thirty dollar silvel
reel, until your fine fiuttering fish, a:
long as from your fist to your elbow
comes into your hand.
! The farmers in this vicinity were

was looking promising. After some
more baptiZing we took the train for
[ Nashville. We waited here three hours
and half for the train to Chattanooga.

L
not have known that the cholera was
there, unless, indeed, by the bottles that
the passengers were carrying, and con-
fess that l carried two, one of water and
one of carbOlic acid In Shanghai,
China, there is great deal of fiux, and
the deaths among men-of-wars-m
and merchant sailors who drink the
river water is abundantly greater than
h.
who drink cistern water, or river water
boiled, cooled and filtered, so that it is
common thing to see men-Of-war con-
densing steam to save their men from
drinking the river water. Among the
many millions of the Chinese they
universally drink tea or hot water. They
regard il that there is something in
their waters that is injurious or fatal to
the system unless killed by boiling.
European physicians say it is living an
imalcule. Their climate is hotter than
ours. From Nashville we passed on to
TallahOma, in high and beautiful re-
gion of country. The crops around here,
and indeed all along the journey, were
very fine, especially the corn and oats.
The wheat was harvested and did not
appear to be so good Judging by the
shocks in the fields.
From this point we began to come in
ght of the Cumberland mountains, and
as we approached them the scenery be-
rane sublime. Then we passed through
u tunnel from a half TO three-quarters of
a mile long, under the Cumberland
mountains. This brought US fairly into
the mountains, and l think the scenery
from this on is more grand than any
thing l ever saw on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, Notwithstanding so much
has been written by Mr.. Thomas Jeffer-
son and others about the nights at Har-
per's Ferry. Then We came to Steven
son, Alabama, at the junction of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, for
dinner, and shortly after crossed the
Tennessee river, and winding our ser
pentine course along between the river
and the mountains, came into Chatta- |
nOoga. 1t seems strange that a city of
such size should grow up in such a wild |
region, but it is a place of much manu- |
facture and a kind of metropolis for all I
the valley of the Tennessee. This place
was very suggestive to me of the |
situatiOH of some of the cities of
western China, where the scenery
IS as wild as here. We hardly |

lie train before we were off for Dalton
IN our way TO Atlanta. We wound our
way along up grades more than thirty
niles from CHATTANOOGA, then passed
through a tunnel and found ourselves
beyond the tributaries of the mighty
and on the seabOard slope of
he continent, with the waters flowing

rom this tunnel is the town Of Dalton,
ituated in one Of the finest regions of
he whole country, with the magnificent
fountains to the east, tracing their
mOky and uneven lines along the deep

)r few days and preach in the haauti-
Il Cumberland Presbyterian church.
