the trip and 20 the persons included IN
that commemorative term so commonly
heard I'm legislative halls; their con

fore witnessed the magnificent scenery
along the Chesapeake &Onlo, when Is al
ways interesting, generally picturesque,
and at simes sublime m us rugged
grandeur Senator Morris, VINO, with
Delegate Lavelle, of Wetzel county, had
charge of the party, pointed out the
objects OF interest along the road. Inc

when the surface OF the river became
more TRANQUIL and broad enough and or
sufficient depth 20 float the longest OF
the majestic steamers which ply tne

the hospitality of the South, It's beauty
and its chivalry, is seen al its best dur
ing the summer season was the object
i've DOint. and although the halls OF
Measure were deserted, the party
was pleasantly entertained az a hotel In
the little town.
The trip was as instructive as It was
entertaining. The members were ena-

mineral wealth OF the section through
which they passed, and came back 10
the CAPITAL prouder than ever OF the
