allowed the occupants to get good
view Of the country through which
they passed en- route to the mine.
AS the railroad circles the mountain

the richest mineral section of South
west Virginia is had. From the SUM-

mine is located a magnificent view
may be obtained of Salem. All along
the road the wild flowers are in bloom
and the air is full of the fragrance OF
the honey-suck e, and the woods full
of the beauty of the dogwood blooms
against back ground of fresh, lighg
greenery.
1t did not take the party long to
reach the mine, for the little dummy
engine whisked them along at rapid
pace. The two car loads of capitalists
then took n walk about the place,
inspected the various pockets of ore
and watched the men at work. They
did not have long time to stay, how

The Long Leaf or Southern yellow
pine tree is different in many particulars
from other trees. 1t terminates from a
peculiar seed. In shape it is somewhat
like the seed of the northern pine, but
much larger. The peculiar shape and
size Of the seeds cause them to be car
ried a great distance by the wind. One
peculiarly of the long leaf pine is that
when once forest is cut down it does
not produce the same variety of tree
again. The growth is very slow; and a
tree ten inches in diameter is supposed
to be several hundred years old. The
| body is smooth and with few limbs ex-
cept at the very top.
The ozone generated by this variety of
pine is considered the greatest remedy
for lung diseases of all kinds. Where
the trees are boxed for turpentine, or
skinned, the ozone is given off to o
greater degree. Many northern people
suffering from diseases of the lungs, are
seeking a home in the long leaf pine
forests of North Carolina; and others
have received marked benefit by stay
among the pines. On the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad, between Raleigh, the
capital of the State, and Charlotte,
northern people are building up one of
the handsomest settlements in the South.
Among the northern settlers of promi-
nence is Prof. L. s. Packard, who was
for thirteen years Superintendent of
Public Schools at Saratoga Springs, n.
Y. He came South to establish school
in the pine forest, where northern par
ents having children predisposed to lung
or throat troubles, or in delicate health,
could send them for first class educa-
ton, and for the building up of health
at the same time. Professor Packard
has selected Pine Bluff, Moore county,
n. c., as the most desirable and healthy
spot in the pine region; and there he has
erected buildings for the accommodation
Of northern children. Those who go
there improve rapidly in health. Great
benefits are derived from inhalation of
the ozone which is exhaled from the
pine gum. We have secured some of
the gum and we send a sample to the
editor of this paper. This gum, placed
in hot water and kept in sick room, is
one of the finest deodorizers known;
and small piece, placed in vessel of
water and kept on sitting room stove,
gives pleasant odor to the room, and
is considered beneficial to persons suf-
fering from colds or throat troubles.
Mixed with glycerine, tallow or lard,
the gum is said to make good ONT
ment for cancerous or old sores, as we'll
as bruises and cuts.
The main or tap root of the yellow
pine is longer than the root of any other
tree; going down to depth of many
feet. The needles or leaves are very
long and a glossy green, and make quite
a handsome ornament for the parlor. A
bunch of these leaves will be sent to the
editor with our next letter, which will
