ground is covered with rocks, and it is upon
these that the trees are growing, sending
their roots long distances in search of crew

boles raised high in the air, supported
by an arch formed of their roots,

what fastened this rather peculiar name
upon the sleepy little hamlet appears to be
one of those things which are buried in OBJ
ivion; of which history takes no note, and
of which even tradition speaks but little,
and that little in most vague and unsatis-
factory terms.
Scalp Level is situated at the confluence OF
two mountain streams which unite and
form what is known as Paint creek, much
as the Ohio is formed by the union Of the
Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. The
origin Of the name 'Paint Creek" is very
obvious, and one requires neither tradition
nor the records of history to aid in discover
ing it. Since ever the beauties of that most
picturesque stream have been known to that
class of Bohemians who transfer to canvas
natures various and changing moods, the
creek has been haunted during the summer
season by men with white umbrellas and
sketching stools For the three miles fro.n
Scalp Level to where its waters flow into
Stony creek the course of Paint creek lies
through a wild and picturesque glen, be-
tween high and steep hills covered with
pine, FIR, beech and few tall oak trees
Throughout its entire course the creek
tumbles over a rocky bed and winds in and
out
AMONG HUGE GRAY BoULDERs,
sometimes moSS-eovered and with tall trees
growing above and apparently out of them.
In many places the water forms in beautiful
pools which constitute splendid mirrors,
rejecting the azure sky with its brightly
tinted clouds, the glorious colors of tine
foliage, the cold gray of the rocks and the
dark and mysterious shadows beneath the
trees. Above the village one branch of the
creek winds its way over sedgy stony
ground, and its banks are covered with
trees whose foliage presents an almost in
finite variety o. form and the most delicate
shades OF color. As it nears the village the
course of the second branch of the stream
lies through a magnificent beech forest, with
here and there group Of tall pines or frs
standing In dark and gloomy majesty, and
in strong contrast to the delicate greens of
the foliage around them. Through this
woods tine waters of the stream glide
smoothly, and the splendid trees arching
over it bend down until their lower branches
dip beneath its placid surface, and the
sunlight stealing through the dense foliage
falls in a golden splendor upon the water.
Within the woods, the trunks of noble
trees, which in years gone by have swayed
their proud crests in the breeze, now laid
low by age, or storm, or lightning's blast,
are covered with lehens and with moss of
the richest and most vivid green.
just above the junction of the two streams
the water of one OF them falls a distance of
some 10 or u feet, breaking into spray
IS it comes from the rocks above, and
tambiing and splashing into the pools be-
low sends forth constant succession of
circling waves that widen and increase
until they break against its rocky shores.
About half mile lower down the stream
rolls over a slOping bed of rock that, on ac-
count of its peculiar corrugated formation,
has been given the name of "Washboard
Falls" Still lower down there is shelly
ing ledge Of rock with narrow channel

THE public spirit of the people should
foster public institutions in that adj
vanced idea of social civilization which
marks the age when communities are
fortunate in their political conditions
and happy in their social morals and
education.
At time when the average man
is too busy TO study history
we forget OF know not the
Immense difference between our time
and the past. when the benefcent dis
pensations Of a great charitable public
feeling were almost unknown and such
eleemosynary institutions as they used to
have were hired TO little spectators to
make wha; they could out of them by cruel
Il and starvation Since the Times was
first published we have endeavored to
foster that public spirit which is not
only the cultivated power Of Christian
civilization. but is also in public affairs
the progress and pride of people
which commands the respect and sym
pathv of the world, and bring 10
a community the support Of the world.
Richmond is remarkable for its genial
and healthy public opinion and there is
no lack of the feeling we cite, but only a
lack Of organized effort
The question OF a Reformaiory is a
prominent one which appeals to public
spirit in the highest sense Of humanity
in the direction of an institution that
shall not degrade and utterly ruin the
unfortunates whom wretchedness may
have led into vice, but shall place them
in an atmosphere that may be severe
enough for fair amount Of punishment
but with a tempered discipline that may
work reform.
The law looks at all crime technically
hut humanity and civilization has par
TO act towards the class Of criminals wh'
ore not absolutely vicious, but are th'
victims of adverse circumstances owe
which they may have no control

Here Is one Of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt. When Vanderbilt went
abroad during the civil war no was
entertained by many notablos in Eng
land. Among the guests al one Of the
big houses beside the commodore was
Lord Palmerston. The English pre-
mier was quite taken with Vanderbilt,
who was one of the handsomcst Ameri-
cans who had ever visited that coun-
try. Bat his conversation was not
always carried on in purest English
In discussing American affairs lord
Palmerston told the commodore some
thing concerning a dispatch he had
sent to the United States government
The latter listened very attcnnVely
until Lord Palmerston had finished
and then astonishcd everybody by this
advice:

AMONG the citizens arrested and
brought before Commissioner Peasants
for alleged violations of law at the last

stand that one of them, Mr. w. c. Pres
ton. was not in Jackson ward on the day
of election. and that another one, al.
Guigon. was before the Commissioner
before, and the charges were pronounced
groundless
WHY then is this flimsy business kept
6pe As far as we can hear, there IS
nothing TO it except that some Republi-
cans object TO the challenging of votes at
the polls. The cases should be heard
promptly and disposed Of, or it will look
as if a court could be made use of to
worry people out Of exercising their law
ful rights.

TT is not customary for new Presis
dent to call an extra session OF the new
Congress unless there is something that
renders it necessary
General usage establishes the idea that
new administration should have
time to study out its bear
incs before being called on to advise
legislation. Besides this, there can be
no call at present for a radical change in
any of the bureaus as the Democratic
Administration has been recognized as
conservative and as the champion OF a
sound and good civil service.
General Harrison is slow-thinking
man and a very firm one and he is likely
to abstain from anything that could be
construed as partisan politics in calling
an extra session.

THE EpMuND's RESOLUTION.

If the House Of Representatives does
not pass the Edmunds resolution In
affirming the Monroe doctrine the moral
effect will De bad, so far as cur national
reputation is concerned abroad, and our
own citizens will be ashamed at the
comparison between the pluck Of former
days when we had not half our present
power and the present sascilaiing policy
in the face OF a question that reflects the
spirit OF the whole American people.
As we have stated before and ex.
+ la.ned. there IS an instinct in the masses
Of the American people that points
always towards the logical accomplish
ment Of our destiny. Ii was felt when II
accomplished the National result in the
requirement of Louisiana and afterwards
In the Mexican war. which opened the
Pacific coast TO US, and with it opened
the vast domains between California and
Kansas that were vaguely known as
deserts The treaty Of Gundaloupe-
Hidalgo reflected the advance sentiment
of the American people in negotiating a
right 10 an inter-oceanic transit
at Tohauntepcc and all these
transactions from the first aiilrma-
ZION of the Monroe doctrine against
foreign influence in the territories of
American Republics, point TO a principle
that is vital 10 the United States and
equally so to our smaller sister Repub-
lies. OF course Ilc central American
States must see clearly that the foothold
OF protection by monarchical powers OF
Europe, or even by France, which may
at any moment explode and change her
form Of Government mean the same
personal power Of Kings, against which
they rcbeled as we did.
The United States seeks no patronage
or protection over the Central American
States in the international understand
ing Of asserting any power over them
but il reafIms the great principle that
the interference Of monarchial power in
this continent will be a menace TO he-
publican principles, and viii not be toll
Grated.
OF course we know that there is some
considerable difference between the pur-
pose of the Holy Alliance - that first de-
voloped its opposition in the form OF the
Monroe doctrine. and this present enun-
citation in the Edmunds resolution
One was an agreement Of royalties TO
re-establish royalty on the American Con-
tinent. and the thing against which we
protest now is amercantile control at the
isthmus under the auspices Of European
governments. The principle remains
the same though its application Is dlieT-
emf. and il is to be hoped that the House
viii not dodge this issue.
The American people feel what Is
right if we are to maintain in America
the cause of free institutions, and they
will feel it more strongly in case of any
difficulty about it, The wisest way is to
forestan trouble by preventive measures
or the time may come when European
navies might be posted at the lsthmus to
prevent the maintenance Of the Monroe
doctrine.

THE new war ship devised by Repre-
sentative Thomas promises TO be another
formidable addition 10 the navy.
She can be almost submerged like a
monitor. but is much safer at sea, ana
she carries one Of those terrific dyna-
mite guns that can throw 600 pounds OF
the most destructive explosive.
The speed Of the vessel will be seven
teen knots an hour which is sufficient
to give her an enormous advantage over
the heavy armor-plated ships.
If these Improvements continue at the
same rate the great naval powers will
be obliged to sell their heavy iron-clads
for old iron and steel.
