Asheville. We struck the "Land of the

tanned myself, until we reached Warm
Springs, viewing the grand scenery which
met the eye at every turn. There is no
grander natural scenery on the American
continent than that of Western North Caro-
lima, and every admirer of the beautiful
and romantic in the work of Nature should
at some time visit this beautiful region.
Leaving Asheville, we sped on, our train
reaching Louisville at 7.30 Monday morn
ing, when our party called "convention"
to decide at which hotel to stop. The cal

fast we began to separate-some going to
the Exposition grounds, while others pro-
ceeded to "do the town,"I among the latter.
Louisville is beautifully situated on an
elevated plain on the South bank of the
Ohio, in great southern bend of that river,
and near the centre Of population of the
United States. Geographically, it occupies
the central point in the eastern half of the
Union.
Within the past few years, Louisville has
become one Of the most important railroad
centres, and it's situation so favors the adj
vantage of its railroad connections, that it
every important city in the United States.
A more central point, or one more easily
accessible, could not be named, and the fact
that it stands on the border line between
the North and South, and centrally between
the east and west, renders it an apprOpri-
ate place for the several sections to gather
and exhibit for the benefit of each other the
particular product of theirs skill and industry.

be terribly hot to visit Louisville at this
season, but to the contrary, l find it pleas

stars. The beautiful Ohio widens like
great lake in front of the city, inducing re-
freshing breezes, and the water falls musi-
cally over the rocky ledges, speaking in
voice which must be heard. Down between
the leafy shores it smiles and eddies and
murmurs and sings and toys with the en-
erald fringeS OF it's banks and clasps the
little islands with loving embrace and CO.
quetishly runs swiftly away to the sea.
Then looking west one sees the blue, blue
heights on The Indiana shore, for all the
world like far or mountains, rolling in bill
lows and crested with sunlight. Within
the city, deeply shaded streets, and flow
ering trees delight the eye, which follows
and is lost to sight. And, at night, (ah!
reader this is what brought me here; can
keep it no longer) when the stars come out
and the lights of the houses flash among the
greenery, and the dear darling white robed
girls come to the garden gates or dream
maidenly dreams on the large piazzas, or
"big front steps" or musically laugh or talk
with sweet feminine Kentucky accent, what
more would you find of beauty under the
vail of Night elsewhere? "Give me Louis
vile or give me DEATH" say l.

poetical verson of things so freely, will go

Fourth street is the great retail street Of
Louisville, and is its most popular and fash
ionable promenade. At the southern end
of this street, and in the midst of the most
fashionable part of city, lies Central Park
a pleasure ground for the city of eighteen
acres, unequalled by any park in the world
for the size and magniicence of it's forest
trees.
Central Park lies between Fourth and
Sixth streets, and is now directly reached by
horse car lines on those streets, and running
beyond the park. This park constitutes
the northern inclosure of the Exposition
grounds, and the northern front of the main
building is on it's southern line. Arrange
ments have been made for bringing every
horse car line in the city directly to the EX
position entrances, and on the southern line
of the grounds the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad has erected station, at which
they land passengers within two hundred
feet of an entrance.
will not tire you this time-nor myself
either-but will cork up for the present by
adding that everyone who can avail them
selves of the cheap rates to the Great South
ern Exposition, should do so. Events will
be dated in Kentucky from it, instead of the

A RHODE ISLAND V1EW.-The Rev. DR..
Haygood, of Georgia, a synopsis of whose
views in regard to the negro we gave few
days since, has been discussing, at Chatau-
qua, New York, the negro problem, in its
religious aspect. He asserts, as is admitted,
that the negro is naturally religious. With
out opening the question of the relation of
morality to religion, it is equally true and
Just to say that the education of the negro
in the United States has produced for and
imbued him with higher form of religion
than his ancestors knew or practiced in the
wilds of Africa. Even in and through sla-
very he advanced to higher civilization
for his unthrift, his thievery and his immor
alitY notwithstanding, helearned something
of humanity, Of the restraint of personal
passions and responsibility to a Supreme
Power, however inadequately it might be
recognized or obeyed. In the very consti-
tuition of the negro race religion is more
emotional than with the Caucasian; but just
as the severe logic of the Puritan, u1lansWer-
able, his premises being admitted, has given
way to a milder belief and more Christian
bearing, so the sensuouS religion of the ne
