After :1 run of thirty 111ilcsf1-omSalc m-ar Manchester, we arrival at Hux- iou in Derbyshire, and pint-ceded to \‘it'\\' the town, which ranks among 1 the first inland watering pleiCeS in the kingdom. It ows its reputation. to its waters and its dry bracing clnuate, and I must acknowledge that wh1le time this summer. This is the highest town of any im- portance in the country. The sur- 1ounding district is chiefly limestone, which gives the streets and roadsa peculiar whiteness, and at times the effect of the sun's rays falling among the stone houses and upon the terraced walls, and shedding its light upon the glossy foliage. makes things dazzle and shine until one might fancy him- self in sunny Italy, while in reality he is near the heart of England. The hills which rise to a greater elevation than the town in almost every direc- tiou, in themselves have no special beauty of outline or color, yet afford opportunities for delightful rambles, which prove the peak to be a pictur- esque and happy abode. It is to be regretted that the grand old limestone (-11ffs, which overhang “ Ashwood Dole," like the. bastions of ruined fort- resses, are gradually being blasted and varied away for commercial purposes, thus destroying one of the must charm- ing of Dcrbyshire Valleys. The rail- ways here with their works are so well am gracefully constructed that inâ€" Stead of detracting from have added to the line masonry of the place and the continuous curve of the line re- minds one of that winding gorge which leads from Queeuston Heights to Niagara Falls. The death rateherc averages ten in a thousand, and I Wondered if the 9.37 feet above the level of the sea, where passer-s by may have a free drink of the renowned mineral water. which to my liking was a. shade too warm, was the solution of such a small death rate, for really in this England, with all its ancient castlesficities, parks and church- 'hrds, as one reads the tomb stones it set-ms as if with a bit more care many people instead of dying at ninety or a hundred might have lived for ages, drinking from re- ninde fountains which offer life and health without end. The. finest group of buildings is the “Crescent,” built over a century ago, at the same time and style as the famous squares and cresceuts of Bath. A Colonnade runs round the front and extends round the quadrant. The grand old pile as it rises against the sky, shows the. craft and handiwork of man. Opposite the crescent and in the square, the Pump-Room, very elabor- ately built and given by the Duke of Devonshire to the town some three years ago, is to be seen. The roof is a veritable garden and the place itself corresponds with the hotel which forms the crescent. ’Tis here the “gentry” pay their penny and take the waters wbgch are just the same as that from the spring near by. The St. Ann’s Cliff, which faces the crescent, is laid out with walks and flower beds, separating the lower and the higher town. The Broad \Valk is a line row of detached houses extend- ing southwards from the cliffs and overlooking the gardens, where we had on the night previous promenad- ed. There is a very fine th?2lt[‘€,t0lllll$ court, dancing pavilion. band, and plenty of beautiful walks in these gardens, for both natural and artificial means have placed them amongst the. finest resorts in the land, The baths are reported to be in cases of rheuma- tic complaints the most efficacious in the kingdom, and have been celebratâ€" ed since the Roman occupation of Britain. There are fourteen private for ladies and ten for gentlemen, in- cluding Nenlle, Russian, Vapour, Massage and Sitz Baths, while the natural ones at the end of the crescent are supplied with 111edicinal water at a heat of 52° fahr. direct from the rocks beneath, and consist of one large luuge and five private baths for adies, and two large hinge and five private baths for gent emcu. St. Ann's Church in Buxton dates back to 1025 and has recently been re- stored. Howevei, the old oak beams and rafters connast strikineg with the new fittings. Among the architectural features of watch from St. Ann‘s “'ell, situated ibertr ; ‘ 6,000 people. 'train to Thin-p ('Ioud. any dome in Eumpe. The height to the top is 113 feet and the dome itself covers half an acre. while the whole of the buildin s cover one and one quart- er news. The temperature of the hos- pital is constantly at 6‘1”, and it holds A peculiar feature of the lantern in the dome is that it returns a dear echo to any one standing di- rectly under it. Tbesmaller dome is on the pavilion in the gardens, which 1 have aIn-ady mentioned. The mark- et. place of I‘luxton is the highest in England, being 1030 feel. above the sea. As my stay in Buxtou was very 'short, I wanted to make the best of it, so we decided on a trip to Dovedale, some twentv miles distant, taking the In describing this pretty spot I shall not use such epithets as “stupendous and magnifi- cent." It. is neither one not the other. but simply the most beautiful and bar- lnulllulls blending of rock, wood and watt-r within the limits of the four seas. Perhaps the leading character- istic of Dovcdale is its consistencv. and thecritival eye searches in vain fol-21 bare spot or a dull outline. Once I in (he dale we are unconscious of the. \\'('ari\‘ulll(* limestone uplands by which it is surrounded. Pinnacled rock and \wmded knoll hound our vision on both sides, while the stream below, alterâ€" nating between tranquil pool and rip- pling eddy or tiny water-fall, supplies ,a soft music thoroughly consonant with the spirit of the scene. The coal, iron and putleryware winch have made Stuffordsbiro renowned from a -couuneicial point of view, have de- barred it from receiving the attention due {(1 it hour :1 picture-«.1119 side, yet the glory of this country is the Doveâ€" dalo, lying vuliu-ly within it and be- ing more thickly Wooded than the ‘ Dcrbysbire portion. Out-starting point was the famous “ Stepping Stones," which we cmssed merely for the sake of touching Staf- foidshirc. Just as we landed we nat- urally fumed round to see the next person who should cross as we had done in safety. .Sevcral boys were following and when in 111idstream one of them who was over burdened with a bag of plums took a sudden tumble and to the astonishment of many Spectators, and amid the smiles and suppressed laughtm- which intervened between the. boy scrambling to his feet and tiying in save his bag of fruit, the whole affair reached a climax when someone asked him how he felt. He bravely replied, -“fair grand." Any how he didn’t seem to bother and went on eating his fruit and enjoying the fun as if nothing unpleasant had happened. In a few minutes we re- turned to Derbyshire. as our way home lay on this side of the Dale. all the way, opened to our view a beautiful plot of grass. where many visitors were enjoying tea or playing near the edge of the pool among the rushes. Around 11s are hawthorn, hazel and other trees, shrubs and wild flowers, and in the springtime when the knolls are covered with prmu-oses, or in the autumn when the foliage as- sumes its ruddiest tint, the dale wears its loveliest aspect. At Slim-plow Point- we had the pleasure of seeing a series of steep and rugged limestone crags, fancifully named "The Twelve Apostles.” Close to this view point. which is the narrowest part of the glen, we notice a natural arch perfor- ating a rock several feet wide. High 11p above this archway, approached by the steepest of paths, is “Reynard’s Gave," a wide portalled cave, which invites a visit chiefly for the difficulty of paying it. I noticed the guide whistled for visitors, and if one had been so disposed We could have hung The track, which is by the river side ' l I I I on to a long rope 3 11d been hauch up , to see this wonderful spot. However, we declined to see the place rcynard held 50 sacred in by gone days. Our respects were paid to the. Union Jack which hung across the portals and we could only pity the lonely Woman who has acted as guide in this out of the way rock for over forty years. In a few moments we come to the “Straits,” and on the. Staffordshire side it is quite impassable, and the Derbyshire side affords only a narrow causeway between the stream and rock. After a heavy rain the place becomes flooded and the beauty of the glen must be sublime, the foliage and water are brought into closest contrast, the trees and creepers encroaching on the tracts and yews grow out of every this town two domes draw your at-t The largest one crowns the ‘ Devonshile Hospital, which was once ‘a circus for training horses, It was ‘(lpl'lkd for a hospital in 1856, and is especially for the benefit (f the poor, - and it is supported by voluntary con- , tributions. Externally the building consists of a vast centraldmnc with four smaller ones at the angles, and a low lanteni tower at the top, rising in l the the midst and above a plain two storied building. Internally the dome is the grand fealurv. It is sunoundod : by a galleried ('nlt‘nnadv, from which I the wards arc l‘lltf‘l't d. The diauu'ti-r 1 f this dome is 154 loci, ilzc greatest of chink. A rock immediately in hunt is called, with a fair show of reason. the “Lion‘s Head,” while above it a half detaché'd rectangular block Seems to hang wally to fall at the slightest provocation. Upon the banks of this river stands the famous fishing house wherein Izaak \\’;1Iton smoka his pipe, and fricd his front too, centuries 'ago, heedlessof Puritans, and of all ‘the civil strife which embroiled that ‘unseltled period. The house consists of one square room with u gablrd roof, land placed in a shady angle of the river. It is kept in thorough repair to remind those who tread upon the ground in the immediate 'hood that this spot was not only the abode, but a sacred retreat for the neighbor- . 10 man who was in the authority on angling. And now we must leave the beauty of Dovcdale behind us. It ends as it began~thoroughly unique. Nature has given it .1 gateway, the posts whereof are two towering erags mu- oneach side. The Staffordshire one can never have been troddcu by man- or beast so Steep are its sides, and the Der-byshire one brings to an abrupt end the narrowest of ridges. From here our course bends to the right and passing several hu e mouthed caverns. called “Dove Ho es," we enter Mill Dale. The asCPnt is steep, while foli- age becomes more scarce. \Ve an- gradually finding our way to the sta- tion at Alsop-eu-le-Dale, which we leave for home. I must not forget to relate a story connected with the dale. Nearly all Nm‘therncrs have heard of the black.- ness from the Mill District, and one of‘ the Lancashirc operatives who ac- counted for his very dirty appearance by stating that he had not been to~ Blackpool that summer, might have found a fitting consort in the. Dale, where some years ago liven an ancient woman who dwelt in one of the cav- erns, which, on account of its limited dimensions had to do for a place to store pots and pans, sleeping apart- ments and living room generally. The. dirt of the cave verifies the statement. Casually interrogated by a. visitor as to the whereabouts of her washroom. she replied, “ Down in t‘river," and- when pursued by the. question, ” when did you last wash yourself? ” “ \Vell," she answered, ” all not be sartiu whether it wor last summer or t’ sum- merafore." I can quite believe this story as far as the. operative goes, as I paid a visit to “ Cottonopole’s,” better those days ' known as Oldham, which shall be de- scribed among other places.
