A TrL, 70 the Silver Mines.

( Not because you will be able TO gather there
i fortune, which is popularity supposed 70
Danish al the afOre mentioned evils, but be-
cause you will see one OF the grandest sights
of your life, unless you have travelled exten-
! s.veIy, and because there Is i rugged majesty
in the scenery which quells discomfort, soft
ems sorrow, and before which pessimism
takes black -hued Wings and goes downward,
ever downward till it beats It's life out on the
dark stones below and lies dead among the
scorpions and snakes. our party Of nine
left Ironton at about eight o'cIOck one bright
morning last week, and, with / stop Of thirty
minutes, during which the physician with

Mines at twelve O'Clock. During the absence

the rough road. When we reached the
summit we again took our places in the hack
and proceeded down the other side Of the
mountain, during which pilgrimage nothing

cakes IN The lunch basket, prevented the
hack from being in the air all the time. The
Journey was without further incident except
that 1t one stage several Of the youn. men
Drecipitat-d themselves to the ground and
rushed wildly into the woods, leaving Us
wonder-sfIicken until we saw them return
