We have heard a great deal about the

been said about its Inhabitants, customs,

NOTES OF A PRETTY JULY
ART JOURNEY.
The Widenings of the Water
Are Ideal Places For the
Flowers Growth.

AS pond lilies are early risers, opening
as soon as the sun is up, we were obliged
TO make 6 O'Clock start, in order to
gather our flowers in their morning fresh
ness.
The first mile was rather tame. Row

on each side the sloping banks extended
many feet above, giving a sense OF close

novelty was gone they let the boat wob-

Now the easiest way to make time
was TO use the bow line, so the men got
out, shouldered the rope and commanded

business at first, but after a time the

The then pleasUre-seekers were 9 lad
for its restoration, for they began to
realize more fully what an ideal way Of
taking an outing they bad struck. The
boat glides along noiselessly through the
quiet landscapes, with an ever-Changing
view OF the grand old Potomac. Sometimes
it hides for an instant IN the dense foliage,
then shines in the sunlight through
the tall syCanloreS which border her shores,
and again flows at their feet far below.
At places the canal is terraces half way up
on the sides OF the hills, and overrcaching

and repose Is enchanting. They We're de
lighted, refreshed and inspired beyond
their hopes The ever-changing panorama
was feast for their eyes, and when there
came a sense Of WEAKNESS they had the tow
path with its life for diversion.
The boats travel at the rate Of about
twenty miles a day, and night-liners, with
two crews, make twice that distance.
The mules plOd along with heads down and
long ears Tapping, and seem TO be utterly
devoid Of that quality known as ambition,
but when the change stops are rerached
they brighten up as il inoculated with new

as they are few, and farmers usually take
advantage Of the smooth canSl when they
do their marketing, by hitchlng horse to
a skiff. 1t is in this stretch of country that
the most obstacles were overcome by the
builders of the canal The canal follows
the river through the valley through its
whole length, and has rise of lockage of
over 600 feet, overcome by seventy-five
locks, but the greatest piece of mechanical
skill is displayed at Pawpaw Bend, twenty
seven miles from Cumberland, where 1t
passes through the mountains by tunnel
1000 feet long. The scene IS always a
lively one here The canal above the
lock widens into large pond, aud the place
has the appearance of huge tangle. The
basin is full of boats and the towpath is
crowded with mules and line boys lining up
to pass through. Wet ropes splash right
and left, and it takes good dodger to stand
on deck and not get one in the face.
The entrance to the tunnel is narrow and
rocky and the tunnel itself Is dismal
place. Formerly gongs were set going at
either end to tell which way the boats were
going, as two boats cannot pass inside, but
now the muleteer puts bis hands to his
mouth and hellos and trusts to providence
that he viii not have to hitch TO the other
end to pull out again. 1t is pitch dark
inside, and only speck oflight which shows
the exit nearly mile ahead. Water drlps
incessantly from the ceiling and splashes
with wierd sound in the blackness below,
and ones own voice reverberates from wall
to wall and comes back again in wild
shrieks and boots from thousand different
directions
After passing through this mountain
ridge the river is soon alongside again
and the country through which it leads is
one Of well-tilled farmlands. The quiet
and beauty of it is surprising, and that
evening when the stars cleaned out and
the myriads of fireflies lighted up the
sweet-smelling meadows, the enchantment
was even greater. The plaintiye singing
of the helmsman, the clatter OF the hoofs,
and the constant "cluckiug" of the driver
were the only sounds to break the quiet
