determined him and his polished
lady to return to their home, which
deprived the Louisville and Gin
cinnatti branch Of the Association
OF their excellent company.
The sudden change of front, at
the last moment, robbed our party
OF an elegant special train, under
the personal direction of General
Atmorc, passenger agent l.. & N,
Which was to meet us at Big Stone
Gap. AS it was, we accepted n
special car placed ut our disposal
which brought us to Louisville for
breakfast. Mr.. j. II. Ritcley, pro-
pr ictor Fifth Avenue Hotel, was
unrcmitting in his efforts to make
us comfortable and our stay pleas
ant. Breakfast over, the editorial
party began to edo" the city, Civ
ing the more time and attention TO
the newspaper Offices. The great
building ofthc COURIER journal.
and its modern and splendid ap-
polntmcnts detained us, looking
into its peculiar and complicated
fittings. The use of machine,
operated by one man, melting met
al and making the type and rurn-
lshing matter without error ready
for the forms would almost paral-
lze country prcssman.
AT dinner at the Fifth Ave, we
found ourselves confronted by the
Mayor and other city officials and
many leading newspaper men who,
with our party, sat down to q din
ncr good enough for the Gods
Much credit is due the proprietor
for SO Sumptuous q meuu on but

VIC were escorted by y. IL. Milli-

n. While in Louisville we visited
III body the Office of Gen. AT.
moro who received us with ceremo
ny and expressed many regrets az
our haste and the little opportuni-
ty given his company to show us
courtesy. Gen. Atmorc hos IL big
head full of brains, beaming,
cheerful face, with a big heart
lie is dcservedly popular, owing to
his generous nature and apprccia-
ton of the delicate duties incun-
bent upon him as the agent of one
of the greatest railroad corpora
tons in the government.
Aboard Il special car, accompa.
MED by Mr.. Milliken, we were in
Cincinnati for tea, stopping at the
Palace Hotel, splendidly equipped
and we'll managed by Mr.. Max
well, proprietor.
After good nights rest, the par.
ty were all up for u big days work
Many Il. & n. officials were EARL
around to see after our pleasure,
chief among whom was S. Il. Is,
Morse, general passenger agent OF
the Kentucky Central Division H.
u N, accompanied by Horner, one
OF his aids. Placing tho larger
part of the Virginians in the hands
of Mr.. Horner, Gen. Morse invited
Tres. Pugh, Col. Il. G. Morton, OF
the Richmond Dispatch, and rep
rescntative Of the CLINCH VALLEY
NEWS, to seats in a carriage with

rainy, yet Mr.. Morse was so full OF
vitality and so like Virginians in
his hospitality, the trio spent a de.
lightful day.
Cincinnati proper is big city,

with a united population of $4,000

we had a big job inspecting theil
public buildings, parks and muse

a gift to Cincinnati from a large
hearted citizen, Mr.. Springer, is
worth trip to that city. The hal
