In leaving New York city for CPsars Head you cross the Cortlandt Street ferry and take the first right hand road. Casar's Head is so called because of peculiar shaped rock at the summit of the mountain which bears striking re- semblance to nothing that has ever been seen before in the history of the world, either sacred or profane.
 Strictly speaking, it is hardly a noun tain, but rather an inclined plane ter minating abruptly in precipice 4,600 feet high, from which one may see the state of South Carolina and objects as small as Governor Tillman.
 Objects more than 200 miles apart may be seen distinctly by means of the un- draped eye.
 At Casars Head there is aelean and commodious hotel with capacity of 200 guests. know of no more delight ful place to remain in during the hot weeks of July and August. 1t is not an exciting life, but it is healing, soothing and elevating. It is very rare that one finds a spot so nearly ideal, even in this ideal mountain country of the Blue Ridge.
 Very little crime is found here ut Casar's Head and malaria cannot exist. Mineral springs occur here, as they are apt to do within few yards of all sum- mer hotels. They contain protoxide of iron, chlorine, magnesia, silicic acid and plain American water.
 There is daily mail at this hotel, hired help and a pack of cards. The thermometer never rises above 70 degs., and did not even during the terrible heat of July, this year.
 The respiratory organs seem to take new interest in their job here, and the sluggish blood may be observed to man. tie in the cheek of the invalid. The distance from Greenville is twenty eight miles; from Hendersonville, twen- ty-six miles; from Fletcher station on the R. 6 D. R. R., thirty-two miles; from Europe, 5,532 miles via Asheville.
 An easy way to go is to wire Hen dersonville for team and take the Richmond and Danville road to that point, having the team ready and pro- vided with large lunch. Diseases of the lungs, throat and nervous system promptly relieved.
 l took my own team and added phaeton attached to saddle horse, but would not advise this course for others. The team is designed more for ornamen- tai driving down the mall at Ticktown, and after thirty miles up mountain road these glossy steeds have not life enough to even stab feebly at fly with their deformed tails. Also the saddle horse Dandy loped in the phaeton a good deal of the way and tried to follow pack of sounds at Buck forest. Noth- ing can bf less dignified than saddle horse hisched to a phaeton riding tc hounds or seeking to follow the bound ing coon up sourwood tree.
 We started from Fletcher armed with map made from memory by Dr. Fletcher. Our course was mainly south, along the course of the French Broad river toward its head. We crossed Mud creek, sullen torrent which looked some like the Chicago water supply, and passed on through the musical woods. Our road was fringed with flowers and berries, the berry season being continu- ous from May to September. Then fruits of other kinds are plenty every where.
 Later on we passed a mission school, in the door of which sat big, plain boy with large, comprehensive bare feet. He greeted us pleasantly with his thumb on his nose, making some mystic sign which we could not understand. Pos sibly it was a sign of distress and meant that he needed handkerchief. School was taken up at tbe time and we got whiff of knowledge as we passed the door.
 We soon reached the French Broad river, and followed its banks closely for three hours. It is majestic river with an ornamental fringe of beautiful trees and solemn and dignifed carriage that wins the respect and esteem of the be- holder.

 At Calhoun we paused for refresh ments and allowed the horses to rest 31s hours.
