The first meeting was held at the parson
age, Saturday 'afternoon. The course

points of special interest in a trip through
England and Scotland. The eld cathedral

and historic places will be visited, while
it the same time will be carried on a
course of side reading iu hUtory, art, and
poetry intended to hold the interest.

Famous Natural Bridge.
A VISITOR ltESCKIISES VIRGINIA S GREAT
MARVEL.
From The Atlanta (Ga.) .Journal
'Tliat is where they let down the rope
to the boy. He jumped from that little
ledge you see away up there that bird
just 11 -jw past it ! and caught the rope as
it swung toward him."
We looked up, stretched our heads
back until our necks ached.
"lo that story really true?"
"The old settlers around here say so.
I'lie boy was a student from Wahington-
and Lee, which is not very far from here.
Of course, the account of the feat, usual
ly found in Fifth Headers, is a good deal
ex'tgyrated. There was no crowd
watching while he climbed, as the story
SHVf; only a few of his friends were
with him ; but it is true that a boy really
ditl e'iuib nearly to the top of the bridge.
You see that ledge up there almost und r
tlit'hrcltV When he reached that p!ace
he could climb no further on gecount of
the arching over the bridge. Then they
say he looked back to see how to climb
down again. You know it's a fact that
you can climb up much easier than
down." there may be a deeper fignifl
cance to those words, I thought. "When
you look downward everything appears
to be smoother. So there the boy hung
nearly 200 feet from the ground, unable
to move one way or the other."
We looked again up to that tiny pro
jection not much bigger than the bowl
of a spoon, it seemed, from that great
distance. It was awful. (Later, when
we weut to the top of the bridge, we
looked down; it was frightful.)
V.'e were standing under the shadow of
that fearful uooiiuments of the Builder
who knows no limits, the bridge, whose
walls are mountains and whose buttresses
are peaks. The ravine is so deep the sun
shines in only about noon. And all this
rnagDilicence of architecture royally
thrown away on a mere wading stream !
ts fish no bigger than minnows. But
the Builder's quarry, likewise, knows
no limits.
DISAPPOINTMENT AT FIRST VIEW.
The approach to the bridge is by a nar
row, tortuous, rapidly decending path.
A small stream tumbles down the mount
ain beside us all the way. The deep foli.
age of the trees keeps us hidden from a
view of the bridge, until a sharp turn to
the right suddenly brings us up almost
under it.
But the first sight, perhaps, is a little
disappointing. The mind has to take
time, to adjust Itself to these enormous
dimensions. As we approach it, at
length stand just under the bridge itself,
and look upward, perhaps even than we
are still a little disappointed, until sud
denly we are startled by a faint crying
flock of swallows flying under the bridge ;
then we begin to comprehend its dizzy
altitude
The approach is not so impressive as
the opposite view on account of the dip
ping of the arch on that side. To walk
a hundred feet furthur on, passing under
the bridge ; and then look back at it, one
catches the curves of its enormous con
vexity, and the lift of its span. On this
side, also, the two mountains that but
tress the bridge rapidly rise for some
distance further on ; consequently the
ravine walls are much higher. All these
things combine to make the latter view
of the bridge very impressive
Cathedral wall nearly 300 feet high,
straight as the side of a house, buttress
ed and turreted, towers up on one side
Across the ravine from it, overhanging
the abyss below, is a little ledge of rock
not ten feet square, Pulpit Bock. Here
one may stand and look below if he can
and try to realize the horror of that
boy when he " caught the faint echoes
of the people beneath him shouting to
him to jump for the rope." In an old
Virginia history there is a statement
that when tbe boy was drawn up his hair
had turned white.
ALL ROCK, SOLID AND GH031LY.
Nothing grows down the sides of this
ravine. It is all rock, solid and ghostly
If one were to slip, he would strike
against nothing on bis way until he
struck the ground. There is scarcely
place for a bird to alight. How did the
boy climb it? The story goes that be
had a knife and cut footnotes between
the rock rims.
And it is narrow, that little silver run
ning ravine; just room enough for its
brook and a footpath beside it. It is
narrow and cold under the shadow of
these eternal ramparts. When birds fly
down Into it thev merely drop; there Is
not room to use their wings. They
spread them out to break the fall, anc
drop down lite leaves. If a Niagara

were spilling oyer one of its sides its
leap would strike against the opposite
wall.
Above, Nature has so coyly softened
the edge of the hideous precipice, so
hidden it with blossoming trees and
mossy turf, that a dreamer walk
ing there some day would unexpectedly
feel a sharp slip of his feet, would catch
out at a tree, a bit of grass the sudden
flashlight of a yawniDg abyss death !
One comes shouting and laughing down
the steps toward Pulpit Rock sud
denly stops himself aghast, quivering
on the very edge of the frightful drop.
In 1779 a great mass of rock was split
off from the arch by the freezing of the
water in its crevices, and was hurled be
low, crashing into a million fragments.
The ground is littered over with bits of
rock, with here and there a boulder half
embedded in the soil. There hangs on
the left of the arch as one approaches
another mass just ready to fall ; a wide
crack extends from the top of the hill
almost down to the ground. Halt a
hill yawns! A eclumn of earth and
and frightful rocks half as big as freight
cars stand up there in the air, held back
by a few clods, a slender stcne, a root or
two. When it falls one power exists
that may clear it away the river.
WASHINGTON'S INITIALS.
G. W." There it is : his own auto
graph Washington's. It la one of the
ereat "prize boxes" of the bridge. It
is cut deep into the rock about thirty
feet above the ground. Several other
names are cut above this, but they were
not put there by climbers ; some engin
eers placed ladders against the rock and
thus reached the point. The UG. W.'
is said to be really genuiae. The Old
Settler vouches for this fact also. The
"W." is quite plain, but the "G." is
somewhat uncertain.
Other points of interest are Lost
River, an underground stream whose
running can be heard by stooping down
close to a hole in the side of the moun
tain; Saltpetre Cave, a new crevce
under a large ledge of rck, which "fur
nished nitru to the soldiers of 1812 ; the
Keeper of the Bridge, a perfect profile
of a very old man near the arch of the
bridge. A glimpse of the rushing wat
ers of Lost River can be seen through
the hole in the hill. It is perfectly clear
and cold, and as yure as if it had been
filtered. Over the hole, cut into the
stone, by whom no one knows, is the le
gend: "He who drinks here shall re
turn." Our party felt doubly sure of
returning, for we drank of the water
unwittingly, and saw tbe words only
afterward. '
What caused the bridge? We cannot
fail to ask it as we gaze up at the tremen
dous mass. It is unreasonable to sup
pose that it is to-day in the same form
that it had "in the beginning." Was
the entire ravine once a long and tor
tuous cave? Did the little creek rip
pling along beside us throughout the
ages, stretching so far back tbat we

cannot even comprehend the number,
thread that enormous needle and work
on down and down, painfully drilling
the eye, until it is the frightful thing we
aeeitnow? Was it once a mountain
lake, checked by a great stone-capped
dam that one day, while Mastodon and
Leviathan disported themselves in its
waters, lonz before the angels ever
dreamed of man, one awful day sudden

gaping mountains?
CATARRH MEANS DANGER,
Because lit unchecked it may lead di
rectlv to consumption. Catarrh is caused
by impure blood. This fact is fully
established. Therefore, it is useless to
try to cure cartarrh by outward applica
tions or inhalants. The true way to cure
catarrh is to purify the blood. Hood's
sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier,
cures catarrh by its power to drive out

Let us call your attention to some of
the "good trade"" SHOES we have to
offer.
Two weeks ago we advertised any shoe in the
store at half price some at less than that. Thou
sands of people have taken advantage of these bar
gains. Our store has been full nearly all the while,
but thre are plenty of good trades left. We have
further reduced many lots and have put on the ta
bles at ridiculously low prices some of the shoes that
have escaped the first rush.

that as it may, the public are all betting on our favorites in fine
hand-made harness in all the latest styles and best materials. We
have no "ringers" in our stock the public knows their record
