looked pretty much as though cents, not
sentiment, were ahead in this progress
i've age. Passing up the main street.we
fell to wondering whether the houses
are high or whether they only seem so
because the street is so very mar
row. This is the lowest street in
town, and runs straight along
the Shenandoah. From it one
can look up to the hills and see the rest
OF the village climbing skyward, as if to
get away from the grim looking low
land. We connt three drug stores. two
hotels and divers stores (where one can
get almost anything from spool of cot
ton to a ten-gallon preserving kettle),
one church, the postoffice and the Jail on
this street. The Jail is about large
enough to make two good cells, but as
the prisoners are only locked there tenn
porarily until taken to Charlestown, the
people think the Jail is large enough.
and some are conceited enough to think
that Harper's Ferry could get along
very we'll without a Jail. On this Sun
day morning the streets were deserted,
save by ourselves and family of lean
looking pigs that grunted as they wad-
died out of the way, and before we were
twenty-tour hours in the little town
among the hills, we pronounced it pig
uresque as well as picturesque.

same channel. Thomas sat on
this rock and wrote his Notes
On Virginia." after twenty-four
hours trial of the rocky and dusty
roads and brown hills as slippery as
glass, we, under that selfsame rock,
wrote home piteOuS pleas for pair of
stout-soled shoes. but we haven't any
idea that the rock will be made more
famous by our having done so. or, If we
could possibly get place as big as our
thumb nail on the rock to carve our ini-
tialS among the other names of the
desecrators, that the rock would be
more valuable.
RELICS OF OLD DAYS.
On our way over the slippery hill we
pass the walls OF an ancient burying
ground, where blackberries flourish and
briers and weeds twiue around tomb
stones that date back to the times long
before John Brown disturbed the.
waking population of the ferry.
A few rods from this place
stands the old Episcopal church. and
little farther down the hill, sliding
nearer the Camp Hill road that leads up
the village, is the Catholic church,
built III 1880. This church, perched

in revolutionary times by Robert Har-
per. who bought Harper'S Ferry for
mere song. This house is one of a row,
facing old gardens with high stone walls
and beds of flowers, that slope up hill
gradually, and when the big old garden
doors are open one cali catch glimpses
of old stone steps leading up to the top
These gardens are separated from the
houses by rough tagging, which really
forms the narrow street. Fancy hay
ing to go out and cross the street to get
into your own front yard. Camp Hill
road takes its name from the steep
hill up which it runs, and the
hill's name goes away back to
the time of the Revolution, When
the British made camp at
that point. 1t is said that often the
ghosts OF those British soldiers can be
seen keeping picket duty on the place,
but as so much interest has been lately
displayed in the visiting militia. who
make their summer camps there, the
ghosts of the British soldiers are thrown
in the shade by the presence of the real
live soldier boys. Our first SUNDAY

mon, we are assured by Que vino has
lived in the town little while, was
much needed by the inhabitants; but,
as in a small town everyone knows
everyone else, it necessarily follows
they know pretty much of everyDody's
business.
Boliver, a twin sister of Harper's
Ferry, aud so close to it that one cannot
tell where 1t begins and Harper's Ferry
ends, figured conspicuOusly in the late
war, and its heighths, with those of
Harpers Ferry, were bones of conten-
tion for the two armies all during the
war, and, being close together in war, so
they are in peace. These places boast
enough churches toconvert every sinner
for miles and miles around. Catholic,
Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, Meth
odist, Lutheran and Methodist Epis-
copal, hold out heavenly inducements
to the hayward. We wen to the Epis-
copal church one Sunday-the old, old
Episcopal church-and its congregation
numbered about twenty, and that was
the only service they held that dav. The
minister preached on the ACCESSIBILITY OF
united church, and when one thinks
of the number of churches there are in
this little place. and of the poor congre-
cations, and then of the pastor being
supported, he does not wonder at the
sermon.
HOW PEOPLE LIVE.
Talking of support hardly a day
passed that we did not wonder how the
people lived. There is not a farm for
about three miles around, unless one
counts few peach farms on tS
mountains, where they are retailin
peaches for IS cents peck in the mid
die of August. Eggs at that time were
30 cents dozen and butter so cents
pound, and we wonder that boarders
can be taken at S6 per week, the aver
age price, for. it seems, the people have
to get all their provisions from Wash
1ngton or from Baltimore, and the

train began to move northward, and he
moved too.
MEETING OF THREE STATES.
Standing at the station one can see
three states-West Virginia, on which
they stand; across q short railroad
bridge over the Potomac the heights of
Maryland loom up, and across small
bridge that meets the railroad bridge
and forms an angle at the station,
is Loudon county, Virginia. The
bridges seem to have done away with
ferrying, for not once during our
stay did We see lerry-boat cross the
waters of the Potomac or the Shenan-
doah, but such boats as were there
were idly moored against the stone
pillars of the bridge, and were covered
with sand and water. 1t was our iuten-
