Finishing Rooms with Native Woods Over Painted Surfaces
Bayard Taylor argues that finished native woods such as oak walnut and yellow pine offer warmth and beauty unmatched by white paint or plaster. He contends that oiling pine and other woods reveals grain and luster, often costing less than painted imitations, and cites verandas treated with oil as superior.

Immense Cave Explored in Page County Virginia
A correspondent for the Detpersburg Daily Express describes a long subterranean journey in an immense Page County cave. The party squeezes through tight passages to crystal halls, observes stalactites and a statue-like formation called Lot's Wife, and visits the Drum and Piano Rooms before turning back. The exploration is incomplete and danger remains beyond the Violet Room.
