22d we rose at o'clock and, in company
with Judge Critz, of Mississippi,
and Hon. MIR. Blanchard, mem
Der of Congress from Louisiana, and Mr..
Rowan, of Georgia. We climbed to Sum-
rise Point, about half mile distant. 1t was
a clear morning, and the view was grand be-
yond description. Mountains to the right,
mountains to the left, stretching in ranges
for miles and miles away and 500 feet below
lay the clouds calm and still, like vast sea
of ice and snow, tossed into ridges through
which here and there, as green island,
rose a mountain top. As the sun rose
it appeared like a frery ball lifting
itself in the horizon. The sun, the
mountain, and the clouds beneath
all combined to make scene SO magnificent
that Tennyson himself could not describe it,
and one that richly repaid us for all the eff
fort in reaching Sunrise Point.
Several of the guests who came here a
few weeks ago in delicate health are now
strong and increased in flesh and walk miles
every day. Cloudland promises to be one
of the most desirable and popular health re-
sorts in the land. H. n. NJ.

CLoUDLAND, August %, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR: On Roam Mountain, $500
feet above the sea, one can scarcely realize
that it is August. 1t seems more like Sep
TENDER. The thermometer ranges from As
to so, and in the hottest day has not gone
over 20. We sit by good log fires morning
and evening. The air is pure and bracing.
and one can walk for hours without fatigue.
The journey from johnson City is some

The mountain road is very good and is en-
tirely safe in daylight, but unsafe in the
night. Travellers in coaches should not

When the narrow gauge railroad is COM
pleted to the Cranberry Iron Works it will be
but twelve miles to the Cloudland Hotel.
and it is proposed to construct tram road
up the mountain to within two miles of the
hotel. There are people here from Wash
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee
and Ohio. 1t is pleasant to meet so many
from different parts of the country on these
clear nights above the din and tumult of the
busy world below. We are not only
in the clouds part of the time,
but above the clouds, many of them
floating hundreds of feet below. 1t seems
strange too to look down ON mountains as
from ordinary mountains we look down on
valleys. In the distance are occasional
peaks that appear nearly on level There
are ranges of mountains on either side as
far as the eye can reach, densely wooded
and grand to behold. One popularity of
this lofty region is that there are no violent
storms and no strokes of lightning. The
storms rage below and the thunderbolts are
in clouds that seem to be in the
valleys. This is owing chiefly, no
doubt, to the rarity of the

it pleasant for bis guests. On Sunday the

d. D., State superintendent of public in
struction, which opened in the chapel of
East Tennessee Wesleyan University on
Monday evening, closed last night The
exercises connected Herewith were exceed
ingly interesting and valuable to all the
friends of education who were present. On
Monday evening DIR. Doak delivered before
large and appreeiative audience lecture
Oh Intelligence and Virtue the Foun-
dation of National Prosperity" His
address upon this occasion was replete
with profound and original thoughts, and
was listened to with closest attention. On
Tuesday morning began the work of the
convention proper. DIR. Doak presided in
his usual able manner, and the discussions
were full of interest and enthusiasm. The
first subject announced was "The Relation
between the Common School and the Col
lege" The discussion upon this subject was
opened by Rev. L. B. Caldwell, and was
continued with much spirit by DR.. Doak,
Rev. DIR. Spence, Prof. D. A. Bolton, Pro-
fessor McCarran and Rev. D. M. Wilson.
At half-past 10 o'clock the discussion upon
this subject was concluded and the second
was read: 1.-The Qualifications of Common
school Teachers" Upon this question DR..
Doak spoke first, and the discussion was
continued by Dr. Spence, Professor Nc
Carran, Rev. Mr.. Wilson and Professor
Caulkins.
The first question for the afternoon ses-
sion was, "What is the Most Needed in
Our Public Schools Pr Able and interest
ing speeches upon this subject were de-
livered by DIR. Doak, Professor McCarran,
Professor Bolton, DIR. Spence and Rev. Mr.
Wilson. The next and last question, ''Is it
Wise and Patriotic for the Educated Young
Men of Tennessee to Go West?" was intro
duced in vigorous speech by j. W. P.
Massey. The discussion upon this subject
was of a lively character and was
participated in by Prof. E. L. Patterson, A.
H. Harvey and Rev. d. j. McInturff. DR.
Doak closed with an impressive speech, urg
ing the educated young men of Tennessee
| to disregard Horace Greely's advice and de-
vote their talents and energies to the devel-
| opment of their own State.
| On Tuesday evening Dr. Doak delivered
second lecture in the University chapel
which was rather sequel to his effort of the
previous evening, andlike it displayed much
depth of thought and extensive research
