The somber outlines of the Blue Ridge, nly a few miles distant, were well marked on the clear western sky.

MUSIC IN THE MOUNTAINS. Before falling tosleep, however, we were favored with some of the music of the place, which merits special mention. A band of about forty of the Young members of the colored population of the town had fled out an adjoining street, and, acter directions as to the music from the dozen or more leaders, had taken up thelr line of march to- Wards the hotel. There were cornets and bugles and tin horns, all of varlous sizes, and beyond the yower of any of the performers’ to properly fil ‘Taere was, also, a drum corps, provided with two drums and innumerable tin pans.

Its elziutiniles by tue road from Sperryville to the summit of tue gap. Leaving our Satchels tobe taken by the buggy whieh carries the mall dally from Sperryville to Luray, we sat out early the hext morning to toilup the mountain. Five Inlles of the way was along a splendid road that wound round the projecting spurs that encroached. on the broad valley leading up the mountain, Small farms are seattertd along the route, the last being one, of about unree acres, covered with boulders strewn so thickly as to compel the man who Was ploughing to plough round and round these boulders, instead of making a stralght fur- Tow. Three miles more, over a road now made dificult by the boulders and loose stunes which obstruct the way, brought us to the depression iu the Ridge known as THORN®)N’S GAP. High up on the left of the gap the mountain Is crowned by three huge projecting rocks, the high- est of which ts known as“ Mary’s Rock.” On the Tight of the Bap isa less prominent continuation of the Ridge.” At one side of the road in the gap isa tumble-down old building, remarkably sug- gestive of some of the pictures of Swiss dwellin: Whole tength of the house, reached by a flight of fluor being used for the accommodation of the horses and cattle of the place, the upper story belng used as a dwelling. 1 spring, de livering a large and steady stream of clear, cold Water, gushes from the rocks near the house,” The temptation to make the ascent to Mary's Rock id hot be resisted by one of us, and an hour and a haif’s scramble through the scrubby growth Which clothes the rocky sides of the mountain was amply repald by the grand and Inspiring view to be hid from this rock, whieh 1s one of the highest poluts of the Blue Ridge tn this section. THE LEGEND OF “MARY'S ROCK.” A legend of the nelghborhood states that Thorn- ton, one of the early colonial settlers of this part ot Virginia, first made the ascent of this mountain, accompanied by his wife, in honor of whom he med the bold and barren rock at Its summit “ Mary's Rock,” and this name ft bears to this day. Poised in mid-air as tt were upon this rock, one ep the horizon throughout 320° of the 85 for a distance of many, many miles. ‘The of the Luray valley was beautiful in the ex- treme. Producing a pocket flask, a bation was poured out upon the rock in honor of her whose | hame 1t bears, and a deep draught was taken In reverential respect to her metuory. Desceniling to the gap, the poor proprietor of the dwelling was found bemoaning the verrors of afeion on his right hand, which had destroyed his Sleep for three weeks, We could afford him no relter, and tendering our sympathy took leave of him ‘and resumed our journey. We arrived at Luray, nine miles from the gap, without incident, and reclafining our satchels from the mail carrier, stopped at the Luray Inn, a splendid hotel, com ducted by the proprietors of the celebrated Luray caves. After visiting the caves, we next day wens by rail to Stephenson's depot, and thence to Jor- din’s White Sulphur Springs,where after a week's sojourn, under the hospitable attentions of the kind-hearted proprietor, and the free use of the waters of the springs, we fully regained our health and buoyancy of spirits. Returning we took the Winchester Stage about three tiles trom the springs, and, passing through Berryville, again crossed the Blue Ridge, through SntcKer’s gap, ob- taining glorious views trom each side of the moun- tains, and reaching Round Hill We took the train for home.

MONTIVaAGuUB. “Where Were the Police 1” ‘To the Editor of Tae Eventxa Stan: Under the caption “ Where the Police Were,” @ Correspondent signing himself “*,*” pretends to reply to a complaint of police absenteeism made in ‘THE Srak of the 5th inst. He does it with more zeal than discretion. He misrepresents some things that were sald therein, and conveys the im- pression that certain other tuings which were not sald tere said; but he fatls to throw the desired light on thesubject. “ Outraged Citizens” did not Say that “one hour was consumed” by the noisy party In going arounda square, as «*,*” pretends, What was sald was that the disturbance com- menced about one o'clock, and lasted until two; and the specie charge was made that “for full half an hour the outrageous turmoll was kept up within less than three squares of the 6th district police station,”—i. e. at the corner of M and 10th Streets. This charge 1s substantially 1f not liter- ally true, and tt ts here deliberately repeated. It the Chief of Police or the District Commissioners wish to Investigate It, tt will be only necessary to summon the members of all the families resid- ing in that nel nborhood tmclud ing that of Secre- tary Teller, and other well known cltizens,—and It can be abundantly verified. Neither were any “ mnissties cast towards Lieut. Greer” as“ *,*” would have his readers believe. It. Was thought due to that officer as well as to the public that the whereabouts of the roundsmen at that particular time should be explained. If their beat Is so large that, being on active duty on any part of it, they were necessarily so far away they could not hear the racket, that fact ought to be known. If, on the other hand, they were quietly and securely snoozing in pairs in some safe nook, that fact ought also to be Known. In the neighbor- hood of an hour seems to be a long time fora dis- turbance to be kept up anywhere in the city with- out some of the force hearing it. Mr. “ Three-Stars” may as well keep his temper. Because a man happens to weat a uniform and carry a club he ts not hecessarily invested with any Sacred attributes. He 1s open to remark just as other public servants are. Policemen have made a contract with the tax paying public, in taking thelr oath of office. They are paid for performing a certain duty, and that duty they are bound to ‘orm, or furnish a satisfactory reason for failure, just like any other employe of the government or of roll pas individual. There ts poeta inxs useful to community, and nothing more hi; ap. reciated by it, than an efficient and faithrul fice force; but on the other hand there is nothing more worthless or dangerous to soctety than one Wiich fails to meet these conditions. le way to get the former and not to have the latter is to cor- ect abuses aud make amends for failures, when ‘they are pointed out, not to make or have made untruthful and prevaricating responses in the ONE oF THE CirizENs.
