Jottings of a Trip to Virginia
8tavto, Va , May 21, 1383.
Dka Clario.1 : A Ur notes of a trip
tothupart of the Old Dominiou may possi
bly interest your readers ; but it Ins been
so longainee I indulged in newspaper cor
respondence, I feel aomewhat ' rusty" in
the business
A telegram ausinc my hurried liepnrturo
from Jackson on Thursday night, 17th, I
took the
"BIO J.' ROfTK.
Thi solid mud-bed, the reat iieed. and t!u
comfortable', w ell appointed cars, ami cour
teous offkials, are ail the outcome of ample
capi-al, dushinjr enlcrprise, and si ni;ina,'i
lueut that has placed this reat rosd naont
the first in the land. It was a lucky day
for our section when Co!. J. C. Clarke as
sumed direction of the New . , Jack
son and Great Nor. hem llulrouil, and a life-
y appreciation of this was manifested in the
regrets and protects expressed by the press
and people a year asu when it was feared
he would resiin his connection with the
road. The completion of the ro.id to Yazoo
City, the erection of a union depot at Ja;k-
son. ami the scheduling of freights so as to
justify an enlargement of our compress
and the shipment of cotton direct ts the
eastern or foreigu spinners, are among the
things that must soon be realized by
our community. And then if the capital
ists f Jackson do not concentrate some of
their spare cash on a big cotton faciory,
outsiders doubtless will, aad will profit by
the venture. The tide of immigration and
capital is tending southward, and there will
he few places more ehgihle or accessible
than Jackson, or that has better surround
ings. A SUGGESTION.
The sudden, but not serious illness of two
ladies on the train, from Galena, HI., who
had been visiting the family of Col. W. H.
Gibbs, prompts the suggestion that every
passenger train should be provided with a
medicine chest. There is not a drug store
eonvenient to the train at any station be
tween Jackson and Milan, and unless pas
sengers carry an apothecary shop along
with them, they will sometimes suffer from
change of diet or water.
At Jack&an, Tenn , I had the pleasure of
meeting Capt. Jno. A. Webb, who for sever
al years was the acceptable railroad agent
at Jackson, Miss. He is aow the efficient
SOLICITING FREIGHT AGENT
of the Illinois Central. For the last few
weeks he has been working up the straw
berrv interest, aud when we saw him he had
on his book a memoranda of twenty-two
ear loads of berries that he had shipped from
points between Jackson, Tenn., and Milan,
the aggregate freights being i'2,666.00. He
got them to market in good time and in fine
condition the growers realizing a handsome
profit. Some appreciative shipper, at a
point south of Milan, handed him a com-plimenta-y
basket of the Sharpies variety,
and that they were of excellent flavor I can
testily.
Passengers w ho come to Louisville by the
Illinois Central route, reach
MILAN, TENN.,
at about oue o'clock, and have just time to
gel a good dinner, when the train eotnes
along for Louisville, n arriving at Clarks
ville at six o'clock, I had the pleasure of
meeting at the depot Mr. John H. Boyd,
and Mr. Jos W. Power, students of the
Southwestern Presbyterian University, who
roue with me to Guthrie, the supper station,
and returned by the passing train. Mr.
Boyd will graduate at the University next
week, and will next fall enter upon the
prescribed course at the Theological Semi
nary at Princeton a full scholarship having
been tendered him. If life and health are
spared him, he will make his mark in the
ministry, and the ladies of our Presbyterian
church" in Jackson will have no cause to
regret the substantial heJn they are giving
him to acquire his education.
It is a riue ol twelve nours irom
MILAN TO LOUISVILLE,
via Bowling Green. The cars were crowded,
but all strange faces. The only creature
who seemed disposed to stnue up an ac
quaintance with your correspondent, was a
poor lemale lunatic wno was oeuy? carrieu

in custody with having told her a story, and
appealed to me to take her back to her
mother. 1 coniesseu to an mwaru ucoirc
to gratify her, for though evidently demen
ted, she seemed harmless. ItTnust be a sad
alternative, to consign a dear relative or
friend to a Lunatic Asylum. As a rule,
those institutions are noted for their com
forts, and for the skill and kindness ot those
in eharcre. but nevertheless it must nave
the semblance ol "Duryina aiive wwse

immense and stately establishment.
ii, oi for live next half century must con

continues to be well kept, but as an invest
ment for the owners is not very prouiauie.
I was partaking of a rai'road breaktast, pre-
..iiirvlo a trio over the Chesapeake
Ohio ro'ute, when seeing a Knight Templar,
shoulder-strapped and jewelled, I inquired
the cause of such a gay and festive costume
He informed me that tne
GRAND COMMANPEIiY OF KNIGHTS TEM
LA It
is said to have been abducted from Bata
yia, N. Y., a good many years ago for expos
ing the secrets of Freemasonry. The book
is intended as a refutation of "some "revela
tions ' given by Thurlow Weed just before his
death. Dr. Morris has been gathering the
facts of his book for forty years, and was io
possession of information which he could
not publish until after the death of the par
ties who communicated it. It was my
pleasure, also, to meet at the Grand Com
mandery that eleirmi gontleman and ac
complished Masonic writer, Theo. T. 0ur
ney, of Chicago.
About one hunlred Sir Knights will go
to San Francisco, and they arc anxious to
have some of their Mississippi fratcr? joiu
them in the pilgrimage.
Having a little spare time on hand, I dis
pos d of some of it in a v. sit to t!ie I'sKseti
er ttopartmesd of the
L. AND N. RAILROAD.
Everybody kUOWi that Col. P. Atmore
is, and has Men for inauv fears, the Geuer-
was in sessian, and extended acourleousin
i.,mn m i.av that body a visit. "A fellow
maWcs us wondrous kind," and so I
resolved to stay aver and make the person
al acquaintance of some gallant Knights
whose names were very familiar, sach ss
Cronnigcr, Bassett, Thomas, Grant, Morris,
linrrnws et, al. The Crand Comtnandery
did me the honor of sending an escort to my
quarters. A cordial, ivenuH sy iwui
..,. ..-run. led the wearv pilgrim from Mis
sissippi who responded as best he could.
Here 1 had the great pleasure of meeting
I)r Bob Morris, the distinguished traveler,
lecturer, poet an 1 writer on Masonic sub
ieeta generally. He was made a Mason m
Oxford Lodge, No. 33, where Judge Howry
conferred the degrees upon him. He nlter-
i u.,i,i miiiherhin and was for some
years Secretary of Pearl Lodge, No. J3,
Jackson. He made many inquiries as to the
men of his day in Jackson, but nearly all
whom he mentioned had parsed away. Dr.
Morris has recently published in book form
the bottom.facts in reference to Morgan.who
al Passenger Ag-nl of this ;:reat road and
nil its connections. 1 found him ns geiu.il
and clever, as when, nearly twenty years
ago, he called . it Till: Ct.vKios office while
mi an advertising tour through the South.
Some of our press brethren w ill remember
his courtesies to our excursion in 1,S7,", when
he furnished transportation ami accom
panied us from Louisville to the Mammoth
Cave. He expressed a wish lo see all the
Mississippi editors at the
(iREAT LOUISVILLE BXPOUTIOJI
ill August, and will be ready to do his share
toward getting them there. 0f this, more
anon.
The Exposition promises to be an immense
affair. The citizens have subscribed most
liberally, and the indications are that every
inch of space will be occupied with merito
rious exhibits. A few thousand dollars ex
pended in judicious advertising of the Ex
position would be a good investment. The
press feels very kindly toward all such enter
prises, but occasional and chance publica
tions will not get such a thing befoie the
people throughout the vast territory whence
products and visitors arc expected.
Leaving Louisville at 2:30 r. m , Saturday,
I took what is called the accomodation or
slow train to
LEXINGTON, KV.
Passing through Anchorage, where Belle
wood seminary is located, LaGrange, tha
home of Ir. Bob. Morris, and Frankfort,
the State Capital, I arrived at 7 o'clock P.
h , at the beautiful and growing city of Lex
ington, where the General Assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian Church is now in ses
sion. I was met at the depot by ray old
commander and friend,
Col. wii. T. Withers,
who took me to his pulatial home, "Fair
lawn," in the suburbs of the city, where a
hearty welcome awaited me. The Colonel
purchased this property about twelve years
ago, for thirty thousand dollars It in
cludes one hundred aad fifty acres. Here
he established a stock breed-farm, which
has assumed immense proportions, and has
now not only a national but world-wide rep
utation. His first purchase was the cele
brated trotting horse Almont, (No. 83) for
which he nai.i fifteen thousand dollars, and
for which he was afterwards offered thirty
thousand dollars ; and I doubt very much
if titty thousand dollars would take him
away from Fairlawn. The horse is nineteen
years old. A picture of him, in harness,
painted by a uoston artist, wno came to
Fairlawn expressly for that purpose, at a
cost of three hundred dollars, is in a mas
sive gilt frame over the parlor mantle piece.
1 here are several other horses ot national
fame at Fairlawn, and his ninth annual cat
aloguea book of 180 pages gives the
names and pedigrees of nearly three hun
dred head nothing less than five hundred
dollars, and thence up in the thousands.
It would ocenpy columns of space to de
scribe the wonderful things to be seen at
"Fair'.awn, and not being an expert in
horse matters, will not attempt it. There is
one stable at "rairlawn' that cost about
fifteen thousand dollars! It has twenty
stalls, each about twenty feet square, spa
cious hall ways, extensive galleries, stained
glass windows, a g'and tower, the roof and
tower covered with sheet iron especially
imported, the inside finish of the stable
b-i n-r as elegant as that of a Pullman car.
The stalls have inside and outside doors, so
that in case of fire the horses can be taken
out in a few moments. The ventillation of
the stable is perfect.
The Colonel has recently returned Irom
Arizona, where he made large investments
in mining property. He has still large in
terests in Mississippi, mostly in Hinds conn
tv Hislroop of army friends especially
will be pleased tn learn that fortune smiles
so benignly on tneiront coinmaiioer.
In his family affairs, I ol. Withers has
been singularly blessed. Mrs. Withers is
one of tlie most estimable of her sex. Ten
children have been born to them, all living
the oldest daughters, Alice and Ida being
married and comfortably settled. Misj
"Rcb,"the eldest of the home girls, is an
attractive voung lady, and is rather proud
of her war nickname. Sharkey has made a
trip to the Sandwich Islands, in charge of
fine stock purchased by the king at rair
lawn.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
In session at Lexington, is very fully at
tended, and the two hundred or more dele
gates are comfortably quartered in the hosui
table homes of the people. On Saturday
last, the commissioners from the Northern
General Assembly were introduced and re
ceived a hearty welcome. The commission
ers are the venerable Dr. Prime, of New
York. Hon. Samuel M. Moore, of Chicago,
Dr. Ilumxihreys of Louiavillc, and Dr. Nic
eois of SR Loiiis. They were introduced by
Rev. Dr. Bullock, Chaplain of the U. b.
Senate. The venerable Dr. Pry or. Modera
tor of the Assembly, gave the delegates a
most cordial greeting, and their responses,
and their telegrams to their own Assembly,
have established "fraternal relations'' an a
most acceptable and pleasant basis. Ihc
Northern Assembly has already adopted n
resolution and appointed a committee to re
port in 1884, looking somewhat to organic
union.
On Sabbath, it was my privilege to attend
service in the First Presbyterian Church, f
which the
REV. DR. W. F. V. BARTLETT,
so well and favorably known in Mississippi,
ia the greatly beloved pastor. The Assem
bly is holding its sessions in this church.
The Moderator, Dr. Pryor, preached. He
is the father of Roger A. Pryor; is over
eighty years of age, bnt still preaches with
irrent fo'rce. Dr. Prime read and commented
on the 19th Psalm; Dr. Bullock offered the
closing prayer, and read the closing hymn
The music was grand, and the house filled
to overflowing. I was very agreeably sur
prised in meeting at the church Mrs. Iva
W. Hampton, (daughter of Judgs T. J.
Wharton) who lives at Frankfort, but who
came up to Lexington hoping she would see
some o; her sequaintanees at the Assembly.
"There is no place tike home," is a senti
ment we fully realized when we met a
friend and neighbor in a distant city, among
strangers.
The General Assembly celebrated the sac
rament of the Lord's Supper at S o'clock
Sunday eveniug; and at a later hour there
was a mats meeting of the children, when
Urs. Prime, Niccols and Humphreys sd
dreosed Ueiu;bnta steady rain, and the

They are already brushing up for the sum

THE CITY OP STAUNTON,
Where I find mvself to-day, has a popula
tion of about seveu thousand, and has long
been noted for its schools and public insti
tutions. Its schools for young ladies arc
Augusta Female Seminary, (Presbyterian),
Weslvan female Institute ( Methodist i.
Staunton Female Seminary, (Lutheran), and
Virginia Female institute. ( Eniseoual 1
the latter oonducted by the widow ol Gen.
J. E. B. Stusrt The Hoover Institute,
conducted en the military plan, is the prin
ciple school for boys.
I he public in.stii utions are, the Hospital
far the Insane, and Institution for the Deaf,
numb and Hlind the mutes and blind be
ing under one general management. I made
an attempt t visit the Insane Hospital, but
as I approached the gate the clock was
striking twelve, aud the rude gate keeper
informed me and my lady en'urt, that even
the grounds were too sacred for our to tread
after the prescribed moment for admission.
While expressing mv disappointment at the
hotel table, a young Tirgininn look special
pains to inform me that all the institutions
were now in charge of the Rendjusters!
But it is to be hoped that the Insane Hos
pital irate keener is not a renrraentative
specimen of this new spawn of spoils and
corruption.
Having some acquaintance at the W Ks-
ltan Female IaanTCTB, I visited that
large and very popular school. Rev. Dr.
Wm. A. Harris is the President, with a
full and able faculty. About 1(K) boarding
pupils th.Mi from Mississippi being the
Misses !Nina and Drue Gibbs, of Raymond,

pede from the Institute dunug the winter,
in consequence of a death from scarlet
fever. The work of the school was suspend
ed for more then a month the girls having
scattered in all directions until it was pru
dent to return. There are about one hun
dred now in attendance. The session will
be continued so as to make up the lost
time.
THE AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY
Was to have closed its session on 28th and
29th, but in consequence of a mild but well
developed case of scarlet fever eceurring
last inursday, it was deemed best to close a
week earlier. The commencement exer
cises usually occupy two days, but they were
crowded into a hurried entertainment of
three hours to-night, when certificates and

appointments, and for the thoroughness of
its work. A young lady may obtain high
scholarship at this Seminary, but she must
be studious and accomplished indeed v, hen
she gets a diploma, which means profi
ciency in nine prescribed studies, including
at least one ancient language. Miss Mary
J. Baldwin is the Principal. 8hc is a indy
of great scholastic attainments and of supe

loved by her pupils. Her word is law.
The school is simply immense nearly n
whole square being occupied with its build

school, many of the'young ladies were not
in funds for the home journey, but she pur

The appellee was engaged in the erec

vision of its agent Thompson who was
charged with the duty of procuring the
necessary poles which he was directed bj
the superintendent to get from the ap
pellee's right of way. The lalioress em
ployed, negligently or wilfully, cut cer

A Leading Measure.
"II." in Macon Beacon.
The question of an amendment to tho
Constitution of the State making judi
cial officers elective, instead of appoin
tive as at present, will in all probability
lie a leading measure before the next
Legislature. And it will lie well for
those who aspire to legislative honors to
make up their minds how they will
atand on the subject before they como
before the people; for they are likels
to he called upon to define their pom
tion. We have long thought that it was
not consistent with true republicanism
for the people to elect the officers of two
grand divisions of the government IiCf
islative and Executive and requiro
those of the third to be appointed, by
the Governor.
A tarty which lets go the anchor
that holds it to principle, and puts iw
trust in "expediency," is liable to be
shipwrecked.
