peake and Ohio, along the far-famed
and wondrously picturesque Kanawha
river, by many battle-feds, over the
Blue Ridge range into sylvan solitudes,
and thence to the marvellous Natural
Bridge, one of natures most sublime
works. From viewing this great natural
wonder we turn southwest, and passing
through Cumberland Gap reach the
East Tennessee region OF estonish hing
beauty. Here we are introduced to the
rural life of an isolated district, hear
war stories, are moved by sentiment,
and perceive that human nature is about
the same wherever found, whether in
rags or velvet gowns. Then into North
Carolina our journey leads, through
matchless scenery along the French
Broad river, in the Smoky mountains,
and the wondrous district about Ashe-
vile which is distinguished by a hun

Top Warm Springs. the heart OF
the Blue Ridge, fountain casting up a
stream 286 feet high, Caesars Head,
Pyramids of stone, veritable land OF
the sky, sprinkled with wonders. The
trip then continues to Mt. Mitchell and
Kings mountain, through the Appa-
lachian ranges, whose peaks command
view unapproachable in expanse and

hands, foaming cascades transformed
into alabaster, swords of Titans, tolling
bells of crystal. balconies of amber,
polished stalagmites. frozen foam blush.
