Correspondence of Tur Ev ENING Star: SANDY 81 Mp., July The ride as far as Luray through the fertile fields of Frederick county and past the histori scenes of Harper's Ferry, is familiar to many but too much cannot be said in praise of the marvelous beauty and diversified wonders of the caverns. The Luray inn is luxurious and beautiful, and the view trom its wide porticoes most restful. Unlike other Virginia inns, how- ever, it is somewhat expensive.

Knowing you like to print interesting items from the watering places, I send you @ screed from this old town. To commence: Oxford was laid ont in 1684; and, by some wonderful piece of luck, the cornerstone of the principal street Still stands in the midile of the footpath, right in the way of pedestrians, and, except some chips taken off by curiosity hunters, is in good condition. About five hundred yards from this stone stands one of the largest grape vines in the United States, The main stem is forty- two Inches in circumference, and the branches cover About one hundred feet square, The fruit in n small wine grape, but very sweet when ripe. The plant was brought from Italy In a potato to keep the root alive, The house in tbe rear of the vine looks as though it was built about the me the xrape was planted—at least one hun and tifty years ago. ‘A short distance further up the street another old house, said to be 200 yeurs old, stands with the side to the street, the front being in a gar- den with an old ross bush that overruns the orel, the rose being, an early English variety, seareely found any where else. ‘About six miles out on the road, passing through a village called “The Hole-In-the Wall,” named evidently by some settler from the old hotel in Fleet street, London, you come to the parish chureh of Whitemarsh, now in rains; but it has many old relics in the grave- Yard attached thereto. The one that struck me 88 Most Interesting was the tombot Robert Morris, father of the great financier of the Rev- olution. I tried to read the old inscription and made out all but three lines, where some van- dals had chi off pieces to carry away. After @ search, with the assistance of ir. Reynolds, one of the land owners in this region, and a well-known Baltimore attorney, I found.a copy of the inscription, which {s as follows: “In memory of Robert Morris, a native of Liverpool In Great Britain, Inte @ merchant of OXtord, in this Province.

Oceax City, Worcester Co., Mp., July 13, 1885.—Leaving Washington last week during the hot spell in the 11 a, m. train per B, and P. R. R., we soon reached Wilmington, Del’, then changing cars for those of the Delaware Divi- sion, we had a pleasant run through a beauti- ful country, and arriving at this place at dusk, wereached our hotel the “Sea Side” ina few minutes, and after a wash, and a #plendid supper, We settled down for solid enjoyment | and recuperation. Ocean City is situated on the Atlantic coast of Worcester county, Md., it is acape like strip of land, about halfa mile wide, with the ocean on one side, and Syna- puxeht Bay on the other. As there Is at ull Umes a strong breeze blowing across between these two bodies of water, and with no stand- ing water near by, the place Is kept cool and free from mosquitoes malaria, ete. There are a number of hotels, boarding houses and. stores here, besides the post signal service, Adams Express, and telegraph offices. Of the hotels, the “Atlantic” and “Men Side" are amonzt the most prominent, and are well patronized by ple from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and ‘ashington. They draw their table supplies from the rich fertile country meadows and waters adjacent. One of the beauties of this place is you can ton your bine flannel shirt ond rough it. ‘be Indies can wear their calico and take thelr comfort and be looked upon with as much con. sideration as though they changed cos- tumes # dozen times day and were clad in “purple and tne linen” all the time. ‘o one fond of guuuing this place offers extra- ordinary inducements; game fs plenty and tine, and on¢ must be a very poor shot who cannot come home with a bag full of birds after a few hours early hunt.

STRANGE LIGHTS IX THE HEAVENS WHICH ‘MAY SOON BR VISIBLE. From the detentific American, Sevetal periodical comets may be expected to return to perihelion during the present year. Encke’s comet has already put in an appear- ance, having passed its perihelion on the 7th of March. It was detected in 1884, but, as comets technically belong to the year in which they Perihelion, Encke's comet finds place on e records of 1885. This comet is our oldest friend among the class to which it belongs, for it was first seen In 1786, though its periodicity Was not discovered until 1819. Since that me It has not failed to make usa visit at in- tervals of about three and one-third years, Olbers’ comet is another celestial guest whose return is looked for during the present year, It was discovered by Olbers in 1815, and was found by Bessel to have a period of about 75 years. It will, therefore, probably appear cither this year or the next. It wiil be as warmly wel- comed, If it deign to make us a second visit, as the comet-of 1812, or the Pons-Brooks comet, was last year, for it will rank as third on the list of comets’ of a long period that have made more than one record return, Hi. period of about 75 years, stands first on the list. It has been traced back tothe year 1426, and since that time has made five record returns, the last being in 1835. It will be due in 1911. The comet of 1812, or the Pons-Brooks comet, mande its first recorded return during the last year. If the comet of 1815, or Ulbers comet, Visits us during this year or the succeed- ing one, the solar aystem can rejoice in. the pos- session of three comets of a long period, us they are called, to distinguish them from the larger family of ‘comets of a short pertod. ‘Tempel’s comet of 1867 was expected to reach perihelion in April. It has a period of about Six years, was first observed in 1867, was seen agaln in 1873 and 1879, and was due’ in April, but has not yet made its appearance. On Mare 13 Dr. Gautier, of Geneva, discovered a sitspl: cious celestial it Was thought to be the expected visitor, t search was made tor it at the principal observatories, but without Success, for the object seen proved to be # far away nebula, Either some unforeseen calam- ity has delayed its advent, or one of the giant planets has turned it Into a new course by its Tesistlens power of attraction. ‘Tempel also discovered a second comet of a in 1869. It was discovered by Switt in 1880, when 1ts periodicity was determ- ned, It ts ‘consequently, known as. Swifts comet, and has a period of five and a haif years. It ls expected to return to perihelion at the end ofthe year. But itis likely to pass unseen at its present return, as it did in 1875, being, in like manner, in an unfavorable position for ob- servation, ‘One more comet closes the list of members of the cometic family that are expected to return to perihelion in 1885. It is Tattle’s comet, and y & position of its own, baving a Tor 2 und a half years, and there- ranking neither with comets of a long pe- rlod nor with those of short period. It was first discovered by Biechain in 1790, and re- discovered by Tutile in 1858, when its perlod- icity was recognized. It was observed in 1871, ssing its perihelion in November. It is there fore due in July of the present year. Profits in Cranberry Cultare. From the Middleboro’ News. Mr. James Webb, of Cotuit, probably manages more cranberry bogs than any other man in the state, He was found en route to Carver a few days ago and interviewed. “Mr. Webb, how many acres of swamp are now devoted to ranberries within ten miles of Middleboro’ ?”" ‘I should think that there were about 600 acres which are now under cultivation and in rocess of making.

THE SHOE HAS TO < DO WITH IT, “A great many changes have taken place in my time,” said an old man in the course of the conversation with the Inter-Occan. “Men and women act differently, talk differently, walk differently. They have put off the old habits ‘and taken on new, while some of us old re: dents have clung to the old habits and the old ways. I cannot quite explain the difference between the walk in the old times and the walk now, but f know that there is a great differ- ence. “Tecan explain it,” sald a younger man, “Men. walk very much as they think, and all men in Chicago “have taken on new walking-habits since the close of the war. My own opinion is that the army shoe had a good deal to do with the free, firnt stepping of the present day. Just before the war there liad come in the stub-toed, thin-soled boots and shoes. The theory wat that men walked better in. very light foot-gear, and heavy boots und shoes went out of style. ‘The murching days of the war crashed this theory flat. Soldiers learned by experience, by ainful experience I might say, that the broad- Rottomed, heavs-soled shoe was the thing. Men who spent money in fitting themselves out with light-soled, pliable, easy-fitting boots generally threw them away afer the first forced march, or traded them gladly for half-worn army shoes. Since the war men who are on their feet a good deal have made a fashion for themselves, They have clung persistently to the broad-bor- tomed, thick-ioled shoes. As a result they divith comfort, step firmly and exs; xing, aud ure not faxed ont b; ingand lounging on the feet to the transaction of business. There has been, too, more change in the manner of ladies’ shoes than appears at first glance. Broad toes have not béen popular, but heavy soles have come in In spite of the tight made against them, and that the women of to-day are better walkers than those of twenty-tive years ago is evident at a glance.” . ——_++e+_____ A Fifth Avenue Girl.
