Lookout Mountain.

Most persons in this country or in
Europe who have heard of Lookout
Mountain since 'the war;" have also
been told of the battle above the
Clouds" 1t was my fortune to scale
the remarkable palisade at time
when the broad plateau which runs
along it's summit was literally en-
shrouded in formidable mists. The
rain was falling in torrents, as, with
two companions, l galloped through
the little town at the foot of the noun
tain; but, ere we had scaled the
winding road, the shower was over,
and brisk wind began to stir the
mists. We could see little but the
ledges along whose side the route ran,
but as we arrived nearly at the sum
init, the mist curtain was lifted tor an
instant, and revealed to us delicious
expansc of valley, with sunlight smiles
here and there chasing away the rain $
tears. Then we were shrouded in
again, and our horses, apparently in
spired by the gloomy grandeur of the
occasion, ratified furiously along the
hard road, over which the boughs
hung uncomfortably near our heads.
The red sandy clay nourishes enor-
nous pines, whose roots here and
there have been disturbed by the
sandstone powders, and stretched out
their fbers in desperate grasp; along
the pathways great blocks of stone,
carved by the storms and polished by
the winds, are scattered. We galiop-
ed nearly to the massive perpendicu-
lar wall which arises directly out of
the valley and frowns down disdain-
fully upon the Tennessee, spurned
from its base fourteen hundred feet
below; and lettering our horses ap-
preached to the very edge. There we
seemed shut off from all the world.
Now and then a hum from the valley
the faint growl of a locomotive, or the
rolling of wheels-came family up;
We heard the cowbells and the bleat-
ing of sheep on the hillsides behind
US; and just as We were trying to
imagine how "the battle must have
been. the wind came, sweeping away
the mist curtain and-we behold the
whole-Scribner for May.

Carpet MAX ing tn l.hilaslelphia.

The Ledger gives some figures
showing the importance of carpet
weaving in Philadelphia as an in.
dustrial interest. For twenty five
years it has been steadily increasing,
until within the last eight years the
aggregate amount of ingram carpet
made there exceeds the total of
similar goods manufactured else
where throughout the United
States. There are now in Phil
adelphia about $50 factories, with
1000 looms, and before tho strike
the production averaged $4,000
pieces of 125 yards each, or 1850,
600 yards per month, or II. 100000
yards for the ten months that the
factories are in operation. In the
busy season about 6,000 persons
are employed III the factories rdi-
rectiy, independent of the dyers
and others remotely interested, in
volving a monthly outlay for wages
of about 100000. The amount of
capital invested may be estimated
from the fact that the yearly sales
of carpets alone reach over S15,-
600, 900.

Facts i'm Favor of Cremation.

Our larger cemeteries are full. A

the dead may be lett a little longer.
they are soon driven out, the ground
is overturned, and room is made for
others. The bones of all the poor
who died ten years ago now lie in one
common heap, and once more the GEM
eteries are filed. But the soil refuses
to do its work any longer. 1t has be-
come saturated, and will no longer
absorb. The graves are now dug in a
mass of putrefaction, and exhalations
are constantly rising to poison the
living. Only thin layer of earth
separates the graves, and n few days
ago a young and beautiful girl, the
idol of her home, was lowered into a
grave which filled the minds OF every
assistant with horror. A stream of
liquihed putrId matter was running in
from the grave beside it. Two grave
diggers recently struck too near when
opening grave, broke open a coffin,
and died in few hours from the
poisonous exhalations. Great prccau
tions have to be taken in digging or
dinary graves, for, as have previous
ly stated, the ground is thoroughly
saturated, and can absorb no longer
The condition of the atmosphere and
of the water in this vicinity is some
thing horrible to think about, and it
is not astonishing that the siekly quar-
ters of the city should be near these
great eemeteries.-N Y. Times.

There has been much discussion
pro and con as to whether Miss

if so, who they would be. At las.
society has arrived at definite
conclusion on the subject, and the
following names are mentioned in

Miss Conkling. Miss Frelinghuysen,
Miss Porter. Miss Sherman, Miss

Willard Nash, of the Loganspor.

Willard Nash, of the Loganspor.
Pharos, has been sojourning in the
land of the Yankees and writes the
following about them:
"A Yankee is never truly happy
unless he has something to trade.
1t matters not when and where you
meet him, OF whether he has a jack
knife or 'hoss,' he is always ready
to 'swop, and always asks boot.
Theawkwartl, bungling Hoosier who
deals in horse flesh, dwindles into
insignifcance when compared to an
educated Yankee horse jocky. The
former introduces his subject at
once, while the latter discusses the
ology half an hour and in the guise
of deacon or an elder. consents,
reluctantly, to part with a ring-
boned, spawned horse, which he
pronounces fast-when tied to
tree. For cool effrontery and solid
cheek, take Yankee horse jockey.
The oil that drops from the end of
his tongue is in striking contrast
with the dry joints of his stock in
trade; yet his victim never 'squeals,'
as 'swop is swop' in New Eng
land"

The New Albany paper tells the
following joke: Five good sized
men going through small sized
back door all at once is a sight not
often seen, but such o one was wit
messed at Jeffersonville few days
since. A well known citizen, who
initiated a woman's voice stepped
in at the front door of q saloon and
called out, ''Come on, dear sisters,
we have caught them in their vile
den at last" Five full grown citi-
zens were enjoying a social game OF
"pitch," and just as one liberal
player had bid three the voice fell
on their ears, and they went
through a back door before the
seller had time to run

In reference to the causes fer the
defeat, the following: "Moralizing
over a defeat is usually very easy and
sometimes very meaningless. But We
presume there will be no difference of
opinion this morning upon the prime
cause for the Waterloo visited upon

The i'll conceived and misdirected zeal
of the temperance people is at the
bottom of the defeat, and they will
have the satisfaction OF seeing the city

The project Of removing the Ma

West is coming 10 the surface Tho
committee appointed by the Cin-
cinnai convention in 1870, have
deter mined to hold National Con

perhaps u timely thought, as by
that time the people will want some
thing to excite them, the present
supply of novelties being somewhat
stale.
