A Day on EIIIort's Knob.

CRAIGsvILLE, VA, Sept. 10.
u One of the most enjoyable trips of the Sc.
y son from this place, was that of party 6
F. ladies and gentlemen few days ago to Fl
Q liott.s Knob
The party was composed of ladies and gen
tlemen of this neighborhood and their visit
ing guests among whom was Miss Penning
fton, of Norfolk, Miss Lambkin, of Rich
mOnd. and Mr.. g. Fl. Lambert, of Rocking
ham county. The rest of the party consisted
of Mrs. Dull, the Misses Youell and Bennett
and Messrs. Hidy. Goolsby. Dudley, and
McCutchen.
Fully determined on a day of pleasure, the
merry party left Craigsville on the morning
train. and stopped at Chaplin the nearest
point to the ''Knob -
| Then began steady climb of three miles
to the top.
Amid the changing panorama of pictu-
rescue scenery, shifting clouds. and rugged
heights, the way was pleasantly traversed.
though at theexpense of considerable breath
and muscular effort.
By frequent stops the beautiful spring
near the summit of the knob was at length
reached, and here the party was refreshed
by the sparkling water and most substan-
tial luncheon.
1t required only short time after this to
reach the highest point of the "Knob'' and
to view the exquisite scenery extending on
all sides, thousands of feet below. Like
one vast checker-board the valley stretched
from mountain to mountain and extended

The Peaks of Otter have obtained the repu-l
tation of being the highest point in the state
and of possessing the grandest scenery. but
in our humble estimation the view from Eel
liott's Knob rivals in grandeur that of the
Peaks, and by careful measurement has been
found to be even higher.
Our party amused themselves in various
ways while at the summit, some carved their
names upon the rocks or wrote little notes

Gen. Fitz Lee passed through Staunton or
Monday evening last on his way to Coving
ton to see his family, who are at the Inter
mont. Gen. Lee is on furlough this being
the sicklv season in Cuba. 1t is not thought
for the present that he will be succeeded by
anybody as this moment seems conceded tc
be the most critical in Cuban affairs. There
is no telling what the letter of Mr.. McKin.
ley which is about being presented by ouI
new minister, Mr.. Woodford, will have on
the Spanish mind. Gen. Lee looks well,
but is changed somewhat in appearance by
shaving all Of his whiskers except his nous.
tache He is not talking for the press.
Gen. Lees presence in Washington was
the subject of much interest, and his move
ments were carefully watched and COM
mented on. On Sunday he lunched at ex-
Secretary Carlisle's. OF this the Washing,
ton correspondent Of the Dispatch of Tues
day says:
Some stress is being laid tonight on the
Carlisle lunch yesterday, and a degree of
Importance is being attached to it that is
wholly unWarranted. The lunch was quite
an informal affair. Gen. Lee and eX-Secre.
tary Carlisle are old friends. There was
nobody present but Editor R. S. Turk, of
the Staunton SPECTATOR INDICATOR, who
is also an old friend of the Carlisle family,
and Mr.. Logan Carlisle. Cuban affairs
were not discussed. Mr.. Turk met Gen.
Lee in sNew York and accompanied him
here, and also left on the same train with
Gen. Lee for his home in Staunton.''
These are the facts. and the whole was
friendly gathering only. As Gen. Lee pass
ed through here Monday for Covington,
where he Joined Mrs. Lee and Miss Ellen
Lee, his daughter, he was serenaded by his
old war comrades of the Stonewall Brigade
Band, and the crowd cheered him enthusi-
astically, and he left his car to shake hands
with his friends, holding short levee on |
the platform.
The report that Gen. Lee will be made
of the University of Va. seems
wholly unwarranted.
