MAS.
A couple of weeks ago | had the
pleasure of spending Sunday in
Chattanooga. There | visited some
places of interest. | took the in
clined railway, and went to the top
of Lookout Mountain. This was
in the afternoon. That night l
walked out to one of the lodges of
rocks on the very highest point
that over Swallowed the valley be-
meath, and there, down at the foot
of the mountain, snugly ensconced
in the valley, lay the City of Chatt-
snooga, Tennessee. The lights
twinkling beneath me resembled
the stars above in the heavens, so
small we're they. The soft southern
moon shed It's beams upon the beau.
tiful scene that spread out before
me, and without exaggeratlon 1T
was the grandest sight that | had
ever seen. This inclined railway
to a person of a timid nature is full
of dark misgivings. The cars are
arranged so that when you go up
| the side of the mountain you are
neither sitting down nor standing
up, but half way between. The
steepest incline on this railway
above the clouds is 65 degrees.
When one car is going up, another
is coming down. There is a great
long cable that runs on pulleys, and
there is a Car fastened to each end
of this cable, aud the weight OF the
car coming down assists in pulling
the q which is attached to the
other end OF the cable. The differ
ence of the weight Of the loads that
are in each car is overcome by a
powerful engine at the top OF the
mountain, which lends it's assistance
to the successful operation Of this
railroad. On the top OF the noun.
tain is Lookout Inn, a mammoth
hotel. II is large enough to con-
tain all the hotels IN Aberdeen. IL
is a great resort. People from all
parts of the United Staths live here
all summer, and many all winter.
The hotel is one of the most COM
plete buildings of it's kind that it
has ever been my good fortune to
see. and it is really "a delightful
place to go. The air is as pure and
bracing as it can be. we came
down from the mountain the next
morning, went to Chattanooga, Sc
cured a hack with an old, experlen-
ced guide and proceeded to 60 to
the places Of interest in the city.

used by Gen. Grant and also used
by the rebels for the Yankee pris-
ners. The old building is care

to cut off a piece 5f the easement to

for a factory, but when the exigen.
cies of the case demanded iron bars
were put in the windows, iron doors
hung, and it vas turned into a
prison. The building is in q good
state Of preservation, and bids fair
to stand many years as q memento
Of hat great war, which while it
brought many misfortunes to the
people of this country, eventually
bound them together in the lnsep-
arabic bonds Of brotherhood, until
to-day we see them standing side by
side facing a common enemy in a
distant land. Next we visited the
log house which was Grants head
quarters during that campaign.
1t was but a few DAYS before this
that / had met his son, Gen. Fred
Grant, who every day becomes
more to resemble his father, and as
| entered this building, with the
knowledge of Its former illustrious
occupant, / could picture this great
mar seated before the old fire place

silently planning the great move
which he after wards made against

with large, old fashioned shingles.

up one side Of the house. We next
went to the top of Table Mountain
which overlooks the Tennessee
river. Here IA a splendid view.
For miles and miles, with the field
glass we had with III we could see
the Tennessee as it wound its tor
eous course through valley and glen.
The water of the Tennessee is very
yellow aud muddy, but when it
settles the water tastes very good.
The soil all around here is kind Of

affirming the business Of our claim, pay
ment of which has been sought for
twenty-five years, we insist that the
church cannot afford to accept it as a
gratuity or on conditions that reflect
upon its honor. Inasmuch, therefore,
that some senators have affirmed on the
floor of the Senate that they were in
duced to support the claim by mislead-
ing statements on the part of the repre-
rentatives of the church, statements,
however, which did not affect the mer-

WASHINGTON, December l2.-The
friends of Representative Wheeler
have at last induced him to recon-
slider his former decision to retire
from the House. Tonight Gen.
Wheeler stated that although he had
not yet made up his mind definitely,
the probabilities were he would re-
main in Congress and resign from
the army. He has been receiving
hundreds of letters from his constit,
uents and friends all over the cOun-
try urging him to remain in Congress.
Similar requests have been made by
his colleagues on the floor of the
House. AS a result the famous cav
airy leader has decided to reconsider
his former decision, and the chances
are that he will retain his seat in
Congress.
