tue ordeal le a most trying one and It win oe dlfflaolt to get deoent men to serf on juries unless something Is done towards reforming the borrlole condition Of things in living rooms of tbe oourt house. It would be uuju to the labors of a very elect company of yonog ladles, represent ing tne highest Hebrew Society In this olty, not to mention the faot that they will give a minstrel performance at Germanla Hall on Thanksgiving (rbursday) night for a worthy charity. I am sure that I do not overrate the event when I aay that it will be something more than unique. The glrla will all be In blaok fa and will wear curly wigs. It will be a regular mlntttel entertainment of tbe old fasblonid kind with bones.iamlos, Interlocutor, jigs, wing dances, songs, speeches and all that.

The river is a continuous cascade, and local scientists point to the old water lines hundreds of feet above ua as proof that it has through all the ages since the Devonian been cutting its channel down to the present leveL How long a time they allow for this I don't know, bnt with ite fierce current and grinding sand, despite the hardness of tbe rock, I suppose 1,000,000,000 yeara would da Amona; the Clouds. Here and there we see immense masses that have fallen from the cliffs into the stream, and the same local scientists claim to determine the time since they fell by their comparative roughness or smoothness, bnt as, according to their figures, such a fall occurs not of tener than once in 2,000 or 8,000 years, passengers are not disturbed about it A few miles below Hot Springs a narrow gauge railway leads off to the highest practicable point on the side of Roane mountain, and from the station there a stage ride of some 10 or 12 miles takes one to Clondland hotel, 6,894 feet above sea level, where the chronic sneezers go in the hay season.

The air is said to cure hay fever at once, and as that is true of any place above dust and heavy clouds I presume it is true of Roane mountain. Next to tbe wild beauty of cliff, gorge and stream I am most forcibly impressed by tbe vigor and tenacity of the forest growth. At every point on the cliffs where the slightest footing can be obtained, in every crevice of the rock where a little soil has drifted and even at inaccessible points on the very face of the gray wall, where no break can be made out from below, shrubs have firmly rooted themselves and grown into great trees, and often where they stand out from the rock at an incline the weight of the trunk above has bent the lower part far below the roots and given the tree a sort of fishhook shape. Where the slope seems to decline but little from the perpendicular there are paths which the hardy natives ascend by aid of the bushes, and in the most surprising places are seen log cabins, and around them are children playing where, as it looks from below, a stumble would send them rolling for hundreds of feet And yet every available patch appears to be under cultivation, and residents tell us tbe land is not so steep as it looks as it surely can't be or horse and plow would go headlong to the bottom. The city is well built and attractive.

They say it has 15,000 inhabitants, and I can see that they are of a high order. Asheville was designed for a great summer resort, but it is rather more of a winter resort From the hot lowlands come in summer the well ta do planters and merchants, and for three or four months society is of the old southern watering plaoe type.

WlLKCflBARRK, NV. 2C Plttston has no doubt caught the echoes of tbe murmu'lng indignation that have gone up hereabout alnoe the verdltt In the Metsger case waa rendered. Never before in the history of criminal doing In Lu isrne has this commuolty been ao tbor oughly aroused over a jury's work. Aod there la no question aa to the righteousness of the universal eonde nnatlon. In the first plaoe, it was generally conceded that no other verdict bnt tit found In the oaae of.B wman, tbe partner of Me'z ar In tbe brutal murder of the Arabian pedler, could be returned.

Tne name evidence (hat convloted Bjwman of murder In the first degree was presented to tbe jurora In Mtia.er'e trial. The elrcnmtancea and accessories were Identical, and, of cone everbody be.leved the verdict would be a repetition of Bowman's. When, however, tbe hours multiplied Into days with the Meizgar jury atlll out, then it waa tsa wonderuirnt eels upon the public mind What could It mean I everybody aaked The papers ail over tbe country had just bsen auppUed with a telemm from Wilkeabarre that no leaa than twenty anr cold blooded morderets oocup'ed oella In the oonnty jail, and the ng ieat klnda of comments were appearing In ont of jwu newspapers. It was giving Luzerne oonnty and every town In It a terribie reputation. V4t It waa true, and thla la why the people wondered and questioned over tbe delay of tie Metxjer jary tj bring In a verdlot And when, finally, It was returned, and It waa reveals 1 that Bowman's pal only got a second degree verdict and a sentoooe of 18J yeara In the Eastern Penitentiary, then tbundera of Indignation atoae.

It waa a palpable miscarriage of jostioe and a elamor was made to know where tbe re sponsibility belonged. Naturally such a feverish condition of the pobllo mind resulted In significant curiosity. It waa soon revealed that tbe Metzger ju waa largely made up of emer gency men. That Is, men picked np rapidly by tbe Sheriff on a special venire. I was shown that the harroome and alum had contributed their quotes, and that at least two disgraceful charaotera had been elected serve, and did sve on the He aer jury.

Whn thla became general ly known then was a apinteneons outcry Deoent men wondered how euoh creatures got on the jury Why the District Attorney didn't throw tiem out on general princi ples. And, of oqqrae, these men fron the start voted for acquittal. Think of It acquittal I And they found two others on the jury to vote with then. Oo yon won der that honett oltlawa were Indignant when they heard this? Then were men who openly said that they would rather take ebanoea any time with jwman and tfetzjar In a dark alley than they would with two of the jurora called from thla oily Another said that if be had bean oi tbe jury with tbe two men mentioned, befou going ittitbe jury room to dellb erato, he would have handed his w.toh and valuables the Judge, fearing that he might not have them when, be returned Groups of the very bast and most law abiding cltieoa actually dlscuwed the sol. emn and appalling aubieot oi lynch law if things want on i this way.

The Sheriff came in for sound abnse, and though ha asserted that he could not be blamed for what waa done, on tba around that bU deputlea were not supposed to know the character of everv man they eujnmoned, the pnbllo woirid, not forgive him; and Judge Vynoh, who had occasion daring the aame week toe no extra panel em phestfod matters by tolling tbe Sheriff, when be was notified to secure trots, to avoid the alnm and barroom.

Abbeville, N.O., Nov. 19 The long prayed for rain was pouring in torrents upon the red hills and filling all the gullies with what looked like arterial blood when our train pulled out from Chattanooga on the old E. V. and O. road.

At the close of the war the home coming veterans rendered these letters to mean "Eternal Trouble, Vexation and Grief," for two hours on the road then made one's bones ache, and in one section the cars were said to run on "two streaks of iron rust and the right of way." A little later the natives construed it as "Eat Turnips, Vegetables and Greens," as they bad nothing else. Flour, bread, bacon and ooffee had ceased with the military occupation, and the people had to raise a crop before they could rise to their old luxuries of corn bread, coffee and fried pork. The leanness oi the east Tennesseean was proverbial in those days. Now the old East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railway is operated by tho Great Southern or Piedmont Air line. Thriving cities and pretty villages adorn its route, and the people are in so much better fix than formerly that they actually speak utemseives as prosperous.

Trend of migration. Here one may note a curious reversal of the oouree of emigration. In the settlement of our part of the Ohio and Wabash valleys from 1820 to 1850 there was a large and continuous stream of movers from all this mountain region. They came in great skiff shaped covered wagons, usually six or seven children to the family and seldom less than three dogs. They spoke of the land they had left as "no place for a poor man," and after a few yeara on the black "bottoms," "fat wales" and fertile uplands of Indiana and Illinois they wondered how they had ever made a living hereabout Soon after the war a retain tide set in.

At first a very few ventured, but by 1875 there was a big movement, and now there are hundreds of instances where the sons and grandsons of the emigrants of 1820 50 own the large farms their ancestors had looked on as attainable only by the wealthy. They have found out what this soil is good for and how to work it I note another interesting change. In the smoking oar that's the place to take the sense of the people everyone talks politics, and two thirds of the talkers are Republicans. East Tennessee contains tho banner BOMASTIC SCENEBT. Republican county, several of them indeed, and the banner congressional district of the Union, and as there were not Democrats enough last year in the Second district to organize, the folks had their fun in running two Republicans for congress.

John O. Honk got 13,191 votos and the bolting candidate, Henry B. Gibson, got 16,125 to 632 Populists and 414 Prohibitionists. One county bad but 93 Democratio votes for governor, and three others less than 200 each. It's really refreshing to ride through here after traversing the distressingly unanimous regions of Georgia and Alabama.

I was particularly struck by the remarks of a native genius who looked about 1 feet long and 6 inches wide, bnt was probably 6 and 4 by 12 or 14, had an extremely peaked nose and an Adam's apple as big as a hen's egg, which rose and fell as he talked as if ha had a false joint in his neck. I dare not report hia remarks abont Grover Cleveland and his final destiny. Tbey were horribly orthodox. "An iron country," said he, "hain't got no use for Democrats anyway. What did they ever do for the country when they waa in before? And now see what a fix they've got the country Into.

Up our way we jest won't listen to a Democrat Down where you've been folks gq around grumblin about their livers and take blue pills and vote Democratic. Up here we breathe good air and drink pure water and a little mountain whisky and believe in the country goia ahead and vote the Republican ticket We dont take no bine mass. There ain't nothin the matter with our livers, And we're or Tom Reed for president and Governor Evans for vice.1' This last evoked a Storm of applause. I found, however, that McEinley had quite as many supporters as Reed, but for second place all were for Governor Evans, as. mj persist in calling him, In Cant Tenaeaaae.

I rested a day at KnoxsviUe, The stock eight of the place is old Fort Saunters, where, on. the awful day of Nor. 29, 18G3, liongstreet hurled his veterans upon, ditch, breastwork and wire barrier till the dead lay in heaps. With very rare exceptions, all traces of the. war have vanishod from east Tennessee, and the best men have striven, earnestly sinoe 1865 to banish, in like manner all hog i 1 (uo uvMugiT.

uvo uiuiiy ndj feuds remain as a result of tbe division in local sentiment, and the uniform an swer is: "None whatever. TSresent quarrels are on other matters. In fact, the war settled most of the old tima feurhx as everybody then, got alj tha fighting he Visitors with a orn or remmisoence are always advised to call on Sirs. Brown low, widow of the famous parson, governor and senator, who is still erect and vigorous and will, good judges say, live to 100, Sbe is said to be fond Of talking of the stormy past and full of charity for both sides. Everywhere through city and country the sons and daughters of the old Federal and Confederate marry and live in so oial concord, and in every school we may find children who had grandfathers in both ajmies.

It was atter we left Enoxville that the real enjoyment of the Jpurney began. The morning sun after the two days' rain cast a glorious light over the red and gray brown hills and rugged rocks, and iu two hours we were following the French Broad river np into the Switzerland of America. It was a revelation tome. Iu no part of the east have I found scenery so nearly rivaling the solemn grandeur of the Rocky mountain canyons. With every mile the wild beauty increased.

One minute we ran at the base of a lofty cliff of gray rock, the river to our right roaring and foaming iu silvery cascades the nextwe crossed to a narrow level on the other side and looked far up into coves and romantio hollows to the northward. Again, we traversed a narrow canyon and emerged into a lovely oval valley, which seemed a mountain walled park, through which tho Broad river rolled in placid volume. In such places it is indeed broad and looks navigable for large boats, but for the most part it is a foaming mountain torrent. Iu the last of these oval vales are the famous hot springs, long a place of resort and now quite the fashion, and for the remaining 40 miles to this place the locomotive has a hard struggle of it. Tho descent is said to be 900 feet, and the gorge is in most places so nar MUCH DAMAGE BY THE GALE.
