TIE OLD HARRIS HOUSE.

1i1I- OILD A1AhiIIS ltOCcE.
Here we spend the night, and after
| a good breakfast, saddle our horses
| and start for the summit Of Bald
Mountain. We are now about one

formed by our guide that the saddle
and bride is none other than the one
used by Gen. Clingman during the
e1led one mile and n quarter on the
side of the mountain we arrive at
cool spring; and where also we are
pleased to see the high state of culture
of the small grain, and appreciate the
beneticence of nature and the beauties
and harmonies of the vegetable king
| dom in their exterior aspect. For two
miles mp the mountain we find inhqb-
tied houses. Here the road ends,
when we dismOunt, leave our horses,
and take it on foot. For one mile and
alhalf we wound our way in a circ1itous
course, and at last reach the top of
Jumpers Gap. Here you have
charming view of mountains in South
Carolina, and as far as the eye can
reach behold mountain after mountain.
In the distance they appear to be level,
reminding one very forcibiy OF "Old
Ocean" We continue our journey to
the Pinnacle, thence to Round Top,
and finally TO Harris View-three
quarters of mile higher.
At last to the top, after slow, but
steady climb of two hours and half,
we rest our weary limbs on tie top of
Bald Mountain, some four thousand
feet above the level of the sea. That
IS to say, three quarters of a mile in
perpendicular height, three miles IN
straight line along its decfivity to the
top, with circumference at its base
of twenty miles, being as near rs one
can come at it with The eye. We find
no aperture, or mouth of vocano vet
visible, though are hare heard tie SUD-
ter.ra,1eOats 6eilotciugs, like unto a dull
heavy rumbling sound of distant
cannon.
With thrill of pleasure, accom-
panied by pang of agoniziDg doubt
only helping to form 'complcx emo
ton" while on the mountain, we fancy
that sold Badly may yet become fa-
nous in story and in. song, with her
head now quiet, vet wreathed in fire
and smoke, belchlng forth from its i'll
most recess, great masses of hot rocks
aud molten metals, to be rolled down
its sides like flaming river. Let us
now take an observation. Here !
we behold six miles distant.
Bear Wallow Mountain, which 7
takes its name, from the fact,
that on the top Of that mountain there +
is very soft, sandy place, where the
bears were won't to wallow. The next
one we see is Sugar Loaf Mountain.
This mountain is said to be often COW
cred with snow when no traces of it
can. be seen on tho other mountains,
and from its peculiar shape, represent
ing loaf of sugar, the above name
has been given it. These two noun
tains lay directly on the southwest of
Bald Mountain, and in the county of
Henderson. On the west we see Little
Pisgah aud Burnt Shirt Mountains

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION AN
NIVERSARY,

The twenty-sxth anniversary of the Young
Mems Christian Association was celebrated last
evening at Association Hail. The Rev. DR.. Mullen.
burgh having read the 119th psalm, the Rev. DR.
Adams made an eloquent prayer, after which the
annual report was read by Secretary McBurney,
showing the excellent condition In which the soci.
ETY. was. The report Of the Treasurer stated that
the total receipts for the year were $780, 74s; ex.
penses, $22, 800; balance on hand, $s,3S7
After the reading OF the reports the Rev. DR..
Storrs was introduced. He delivered an address
In every way entertaining, rambling over Euro
pean and American ground, but wherever he
touched uttering eloquent thoughts full Of very
significant meaning and deeply pregnant Of re-
igiOus instruction. He inculcated a permanent
morality which would teach, by means OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, perpetual
sunshine to young men. He did not believe that
society here was not warm but rather That 1t was
not known, for 1t was not SO easy to understand
the deep religious drift OF American thought.
The next speaker was the Rev. Maurice
Baldwin, canon of Christ church, Montreal, VINO
delivered very lengthy address, containing much
excellent advice to young men, and full of ornate
rhetoric, which, though hign sounding had re-
igl0us thought in IL all through.
rue next speaker was the Rev. Roswell ID.
hitchcock, u. d., OF the Union Theological Sem
mary VINO modestly desired, owing TO the late.
ness OF the hour, to say nothing at all. He was
prevailed upon, however, TO proceed but with
me anniversary closed with the singing Of the
wDOxOlOgy.v -

CENTENNIAL ELoQUENcE IN JERSEY.

TRENTON, JAM o. 1874
There was grand demonstration here tonight
in favor OF the Centennial celebration. Eloquent
and patriotic addresses were made by ex.Gov.
ern0r Bigler, John w. FOrney. OF Philadelphia,
and Governor Parker. Governor Bigler, during
his address, said that the cost Of the Centennial
structure, which would cover thirteen acres
would amount to $40, 600, 900, and Pennsylvania
had promised $3.o0O,0OO, and that, aside from
patriotic and historical recollections. New Jersey
should encourage the project Mr.. Forney said
there was nothing like unity in the civilization of
ancient Rome or Greece, or modern Asia or Africa.
1t was the principle OF perfect human liberty and
unity which brought together their brothers from
the South to forget what could be forgotten OF
the late civil strife It's MANAGEMENT was IN
the hands of perfectly honest men; men
OF integrity intelligence and unselfshness.
Congress, appalled, by Its manifest mistakes and
corrupt double dealing, had sanctioned the under
taking. Governor Parker said he would sign al
most any bill passed by the Legislature favoring
this celebration. The first Star Spangled Banner
used by Captain John Paul Jones on board the Bon
HOmme Richard, September 8, 1879, was exhibited
amid lively applause.
