THE GIRLS FOOT IT GAILY. SENATOR HAMPTON’S DAUGHTER WRITES OF A 300-MILE TRAMP. The Dear Old Gentleman’s Experience In a Thunderstorm—ln Weyer’s Cave —At the Grave of Lee—A 200 Yards’ Dash at the End of a Twonty-eig-ht- Mlle Tramp—Capturing a Kitchen on Top of the Peaks. In a letter to the New York World Miss M. S. Hampton says: It was a novel thought that suggested a summer pedestrian tour through the mountains of Virginia, but a party of congenial spirits was organ ized, a course of about 300 miles mapped out, and a start made from the university, near Charlottesville, June 30. Our party consisted of the very dearest of old gentlemen of the school of “ye olden time,” who in his younger days had many a time driven his coach-and-four though this same region in going to and from the Springs, two young ladies not afraid of roughing it and a Tong walk, and three young gentlemen as escorts. Our chaperon, the “Colonel,” with gallant hand drove the vehicle that carried our traps and luggage under the scats and strapped on behind, and us, too, when we wanted to make a very long distance in one day, and the roads were very good and tho sun was hot. Our friends bad jeered us with the prophecy that we would either ride all the way, or else turn back in a couple of days, but we were so full of pleas ant anticipations that they alone drowned these forelx)dings, and we started with hearts as cloudless as tho sky, and happy as that bright day of sunchine in J uno. On leaving the university tho roads were hot and dusty, so we kept, to the carriage till 11, when wo went into camp on tho banks of a very beautiful stream that runs along the base of the Blue Ridge Moun tains, whore we lunched, chatted and slept till 4, when off we started for Brown’s Gup. At 5 o’clock we took to the road, and be fore dark had walked seven miles by the pedometer te Nimrod Brown’s, Here, where tho ascent of the mountains begins, we found a quaint, ohl-fasliioned house, that, from its size showod that, it had been used for a hostelry before the rail roads came. Mrs. Brown received us very hospitably but regarded us with a quiet amusement, seeming to think that we, os]>eciaUy tho ladies, would soon find walking poor fun. On retiring to our rooms a little dusky damsel of 14 summers came iu and said: “Miss, is you jest from the city! I hears in Richmond they is wearing black frocks trimmed in white.” This pix>r child we afterward found out had never in her fife been more than five miles from home, but we posted her as best we could as to the freaks of “Dame Fashion,” and slio soon made her exit to digest it all in her dreams. By 5 in the morning we were started again and before the sun was over the moun tains we were passing well up the gap, stopping ever and anon to drink in the ex quisite views that surely looked loveliest in the early morn. Every turn in the road gave new glimpses of the valley below and the sight was such as to make us wisli that wo arose oftener to see the beautiesof dawn. It was our programme to push on so as to reach Weyer’s Cave that afternoon, but when on the top of the mountain we were turned aside some four miles to visit the “Black Bocks,” a luous natural truly. The crest and one side of the moun tain, covering aliout fourteen acres, are a mass of metallic rocks, without a speck of vegetation save a vigorous growth of black li hea. which covers the rocks and gives them their name. Tho people say that the lightning clouds lower around their crests, and we could easily see how, through time, the lightning had rent and splint these masses of rock. There was something so black and infernal about them that it made us feel that they formed an inverted funnel that carried lightning and its thunderings down to tho bowels of the earth. But how different were tho otner feelings engen dered! The view is neither so expansive nor so grand as that we subsequently saw from the Peaks of Otter, yet it is surpass ingly beautiful The climb to the high est pinnacle of tho rocks Is both very diffi cult and a somewhat dangerous feat, but is well worth the exertion and risk. PLAYING IT ON THE COLONEL. Going down the gap wo were oaugiit in a most dreadful rain and hail storm. We saw the clouds, as black as night, hovering over and around the “Black Hocks,” when sud denly they descended upon us, first rolling down iu torrents of rain, then in hail, hail ing. stones larger than a pigeon egg and some a-s fantastic as the rocks above, ami then in rain again. Avery amusing incident occurred here. We were just having dinner when tho storm came down. Wo had driven the car riage under a rickety old shed by tho road side and made our spread on the grass by a stream, when wo were precipitated to shed and carriage by the sudden storm. The car riage was given to the ladies and the gen tlemen moved around about it waiting u|>on us. The roof of the shed admitted the ruin us through a sieve, and of course the gen tlemen were getting wet. Howover, wo hail wrapped our dear old undo up in one of our gossamers and felt that ho would be saved. He is now To years old, and of eourso our whole journey depended upon our taking tho very liest care of him. Woo ing his hat was thoroughly wet someone suggested that the hood of the gossamer be pulled up over Ids head. This was no sooner suggested than off wont his hat and one of the young gentlemen hurriedly pulled up the hood. Now the hood hud been hanging there all this time catching the cold ram water, and as it came down over lmor , uncle’s head it let loose about a pint of ice 'vuter tlmt rim down his back to tho very solos of his feet. IVe reached Woyer's Cave that evening, hut. as it still rained und the cave was some IKK) yards from the hotel wo put off its ex ploration til! tho morning. The morning broke clear, and by 5 wo were passing through tho cave’s silent mouth. Over two hours were spent in "diking through tho immense rook cham bers, while we gazed upon and admired the fur famed wonders there. In grandeur and in its imposing effect tho cave resembles Luray; otherwise it cannot compare with those caverns, which are so beautiful in their dazzling radiance compared to the dark formations here. Then again tho in dividual curiosities iu Luray are more nuin crous and far more perfect, yet tho “Fish Market (rock fish) anil “Overturned >\ direr" hero nro wonderful, und tho "I'M 1 Blanket” is splendid. While still looking for the wonderful wo found at the extreme end of the cave, stretched across tho hollow of a broken stalagmite, a new-made web, with the liv jtig spider resting upon it waiting its prey. The spider was colorless and transparent, and seemed so delicate that one could thins it lived without food. As tho pedometer registered tlu'oo miles for the cave wo Judg'xl that the spider must have been more than a mile underground. the natives and the alpenstocks. Ci-ifting from Weyer’s Cave we passed ever the histoide and battle-stained valley el Virginia to Staunton, where our arrival, 0 iwhere, created a great ones tion All "u the streets turned to gaze, and even tho shopkeepers peeped out at the novel strangers. We doubtless did seem strange in these |juris, for wo ull looked picturesque in our walking costumes, carrying our long el penstocks; which proved : blessing indeed m the long tramp, helping us up mountains, over rocks und across streams, which, when not ovor ij foot wide, wo jumped, using the stocks as a leverage. These alpenstock* Puzzled the people very much, most of them thinking they were a sort of fishing-pole, while none soeined to know what they were really intended for. A broken axle detained us at Ntnunton OV( T night, but getting an oarly start next ■Homing wo inarched along at u good, sbsidy making ton miles to Buffalo (lap, we Oopped lot rest ami Utfucr. Thence we pushed on to Craigsville for j night lodgings, passing en route the Variety’ and Augusta springs. This day we covered nineteen miles on foot that went to our record as the greatest distance made any one day except the last. We had now become veterans, and before 4 o’clock the next morning we were up and ready for a good country breakfast, which was served, as were all our meals, with the greatest abundance of tho most delicious fresh milk and butter, the milk forming our main diet throughout. Our programme on starting out on this expedition was to start as early after day break as possible and walk till the heat of the day, then go into camp till 4 or 5, after which to start out again, walking till night brought us to some hospitable farm house, but always keeping within a mile or two of the carriage, iu case of any accident, of which, fortunately, there was none, except the breaking of the axle, ’which occurred in Staunton. GVEB the mountains. The walk over the mountains or through the valleys in the early morn or late after noon was very lovely and delightful, but we found the midday camp good and solid comfort. The gentlemen first attended to the horses, unhitched and gave them a feed, then unloaded the carriage and looked to tho ladies. We generally found a grass covered and shady place for camp near by a spring and on the banks of a running stream; and after our lunch or dinner, dur ing which we talked over and. related the incidents of the morning, interspersed with anecdotes and bon mots, we spread blankets and all went to sleep on the ground. Of all our tramps the walk through Littlo Calf Pasture Valley and Goshen Pass was the most delightful. The soft and feminine beauty of the former bore a contrast to the rugged and majestic magnificence of the lattert Through the pass there was a river on our ieft, perfect of its kind, its crystal waters now roaring over some rocky steep and again at rest in some lakolike pool whero the mountain trout has his home, while across huge and impressive crags and boulders On our right is the deli cate green of early summer wild flowers peeping out through soft ferns of various kind, but mainly the delicate maiden’s hair, and clustering here and there in groups by the roadside, with rocks and crags hanging hundreds of feet up ovor our heads. Mix miles through this grand, wild and beautiful pass brings us out into a valley opening down to Lexington, and we soon come to Rockbridge Barns, where we go into camp and take a plunge into its invigorating pool. Though we had left behind us, near the university, the old homes of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, with the graves of the two former, we felt on coming to Lexington that wo canto to the Mecca of Virginia, where are resting the moldering bones of our two great military heroes, Lee and Jackson. A Southerner visits their tombs with a veneration only akin to religion, for entombed there are the sacred memories of four years of bloody strife and many years of trampled pride and poverty. If we went there then with bowed heads and our hearts beat with quicker emotions and we felt drawn nearer to God, it was because wo thought of them, our people and ourselves. The following day we reached the Natural Bridge, and, after spending several hours there, pushed on to Buchanan, to get a good night’s rest before starting up the fourteen mile ascent to the Peaks of Otter. 3,000 feet up. In this the Toad wound in and out and round about the mountains, with their crags and steep places, picturesque and beautiful, always going upward, till at last a little gap is reached, one mile from the top. Here there is only a steep path leading up, but after an hour's pull it is climbed and we are on the peaks, 3,000 feet above the valleys below. What a splendid sight meets us! Forty counties, with their towns and ham lets, stretch out at our feet. Here is Bote tourt immediately below, that seems laugh ing and smiling like a garden of flowers, anti Rockbridge, with her variations of mountain and valley, and we can seo the James run down to Lynchburg, fortv miles away, and then turn to lose itself on its way to Richmond and the sea, while away oil’ to the west rise the Allegbatiie.s in West Virginia, and far down to the south stands a [leak that tells us that North Carolina is there. Tho air is deliciously cool and bracing, and sitting on the topmost rock tho panorama below and round about glis tens and gleams in the clear sunshine, and Virginia’s fair valleys and woody moun tains fill the eye’s vision with sights that no pen can picture nor hand paint. At sunset the gorgeousness of the heavens awakes one’s every artistic fibre, but the approach of Aurora, spreading the soft light of morn over this scene, awakes your very soul to communion with land and sky. It was so lovely and enchanting here that we spent two (lays. The hotel is a mere cabin ezrehod on the summit lietween tho rocks. There arc rocks to the right of it, rocks to the left of it, and it is itself the rockiest structure ever built. There is one long room below that serves as a dining room, parlor, office and may be a bedroom for the one servant, with a loft above that is divided into two parts, one for the ladies and one for the gentlemen, with many beds in ench, but only ono chair and wasnstand to a division. Tho diet at this “hotel” consists of chicken, eggs, biscuits, coffee and g/een rainwater three times a day. The. fx iking—well, it is only necessary to say that ohe of the young ladies took charge of the kitchen after the first meal and cooked the chicken, eggs, coffee and made the bis cuits, much te> the delight and apparent admiration of the gentlemen, who had good appetites, and who, when thirsty, hud to mix coffee with the water to destroy the green tint. From the peaks tho return journey was mude by a more direct route, that con sumed only three days, but carried us through the loveliest portion of the valley of Virginia, where the golden grain was ripe and harvesting busily going on. Our last ilay was one probably worth mentioning, in that it gave the best walk ing record of any. Night was spent near Fisherville, but before daybreak we were all astir. Ahead towered the Blue Ridge Mountains, that must, be crossed over a rough road through Kockllsh Gup. and the university was twenty-eight miles away. This whole distance was walked by one of tho ladies in ten hours, and so far was she from lieing tired or worn out at the end that siie ran the last 200 y ards, beatiug ono of the gentlemen. Uncle’s ducking did him no harm and wo have restored hint safely to auntie, who had loaned him to us for the trip. We are all sound and well and still talking over what was to each and every one of its a slimmer tour that will live long in the memory of all, and bo placed among the pleasantest and happiest days of our lives. THE EVERLASTING HIGGINS. Ho Says the Winning Party Ought to Ralco Down the Pile. From the Evening Sun. Mr. Eugene Higgins, Appointment Clerk in the Treasury Departmental Washington, was a prominent contrast to the dudes. Every gamblor from around at Phil Daly's would have boon willing to recoup their losses on Hanover the day before by giving big odds that the dude* wore Mugwumps, but not a man of them would take u 100 to 1 chance that “Hig,” a* he is affectionately termed, stood in with the dudes, even it he did nod to them. Mr. Higgins wore a home manufactured gray suit of clothes and a high white Itat, set off at the foundation with a two-for-a qnarter cigar. He was trying to keep cod by talking to C. C. Khayne, the fur man. whrxvi buxine**- suggested a December tem perature. Mr. Shayne wanted to know if th* Treasury Department, had trusty agents watching the gam Is>l* of Alaska seal* and Canadian smugglers. “Jitst, sent tlie beat man in the business to Sitka. lie'll stick to that fur conqiany like u healthy Baltimore crab to your finger. He i-unite from Southern Illinois, and was r.sximni'triJ’J'l to mo by Morn-ton.

I saw yester day that the Evening Sun got after me about telling the truth, and gaveahipt that 1 had better keep my mouth shut. All I've got to say is that I never told the truth in my life; I’ve got it in me, but it’s going to stay there, and when I die will be buried with me.” I “But didn’t you say' that civil service is a fraud?” “Say it. Why, of course I did, and I’ll say it again. Here’s a man been working for the Democratic party over since he was allowed to vote, when we get in a Demo cratic administration he comes up and asks for a ono-thousand-dollar-ti-year position. He is over tho civil service ago —hi, I believe —and can’t get it. Been working for the party ever since he was of age, and just be cause be is 47 years old, when a man ought to be at his best, ho is ruled out. Pass the examination? Why, of course he could. But be ain’t of civil service age. He’s dono too much work for the party. We’ve got a whole lot of clerks in the Treasury Depart ment who never passed a civil service ex amination. About 700 of them are Repub licans. Ask thorn to lie examined and they throw up their hands and yell bloody murder. “Every one of those fellows tried to keep us out, and they’ll try it again if they think there is a show of winning. When a man plays cards for stakes and wins he wants the stakes. You can’t rid an election of the offices, no way you try it, and when the game’s over the” winning party ought to rake down tho pile or know the reason why.” “Mr. Higgins, what do you think of President Cleveland as the exponent of civil service reform?” “Well, I’ll tell you; Cleveland is a thor oughly honest man, and is carrying out the platform adopted bv the Democratic Con vention in Chicago tho very host he can.” “Do you think that he is growing popular by doing so !” “Popular? Say, his popularity is jump ing in the South and West like a scared rabbit, and it’s dollars to doughnuts that lie’ll carry Rhode Island. It’s a long time before the nomination, though, but if he fets it come and see me for your <xlds on thodo Island, and besides that it’s even money on his carrying Massachusetts. The Mugwumps are getting there fast.” Mr. Higgins declined to explain where the Mugwumps were getting, and a gentle man in the party, who said lie was a barna cled Democrat, und be knew that Cleveland would be knifed in New York, drew out this: “Pshaw! you'll all fall into line. When I was a little I>y my mother had to pay tne to take castor oil. Now you can go to a drug store and get it dosed up so that you wouldn’t know it from a mint julep. If Cleveland gets nominated just go and get your castor oil dosed up and swallow it, and say: ‘Let it go at that.’ But this is dry talking. What do you say, guilty ? Every man in the party said “guilty,” and all moved away to get a little humidity.
