RICHMOND, September %.
Never was there such season for the Vir-
einia Springs. AL or nearly all were crowded,
and 10 were the villages and farm houses near
them. went to those along the line OF the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. Liked tne Al
leg6any, liked the Montgomery White, and the
Yellow Sulphur; each mad some at1ractiOn ms oI
the other had not. All had pretty girls. The res
ident doctors pleased me. too; Powell, OF the
Montgomery White, and Goolrlck, of the fe!-
low Sulphur, are good physicians and nne lei
lows. White, OF the Allegheny, is one oil the
most winning men | ever met.
II should say that all three OF these Springs
are well kept, you might think was punug.
But they are. You South Carolinians Try tnem
next summer, if you want unadulterated
Southern society.
HOME AGAIN.
People are returning rapidly. Went to the
Chesapeake and Ohio depot the other day
Children, no end of them saw the most
stylish married lady in Richmond, and one OF
our greatest bellies yet out, and knew the
summer was ended. One lady had white
nurse seven feet high and very small hus-
band. don't know what thought OF that.
IMPROVEMENTS
This town is improving. No ifs nor ands
about 1t. All the country editors VINO come
here to get advertisements say 30, and the
city papers copy what they say-one inser'
tion, gratis. But anybody can see the town is
improving, because they have painted the
Medical College olive color, and have q seal
odist Church. Ford. however, seems to have
got tired of putting additions to bis hotel.
ANusEaENTs.

Brothers tonight. Theatre opens Monday
night with Lady o. Lyons. Ogden last year
tried indecencies, which our people don't like.
II Ia to be hoped mat the management this
wear will profit By Ogden's worul failure. Last
week James Grant. who slew Rlves Pollard,
gave two concerts. His own voice, Arnold's,
and his tenor's, were enjoyable. so was the
voice of little woman, whose name escapes
me. But he brought along Miss Schimpf, 9
good girl, dare say; but jimber;jawed and
grIm-mouthed to degree. Worst OF all, she
sucked in her breath so that you could hear
her over the whole house.
Richmond people don'I fancy second-rate
music, and don't fancy the Richmond habit
of encoring everything. Pro!ongs the concert
and makes it horrible bore.
MORE MUSIC.
see that Johann Struss, with sixty-two per
formers, is to be in New Ysrk before the
season ends. IL ne comes mere, rs oouotless
he will, we will send him down to Charleston
We have in this city Mr.. Clapp, who knows
all the great musicians, and manages some.
how to induce them, to visit us. Richmond
folk will spend their last dollar for good music
In that they've always been extravagant.
wHEAr's ORGAN.
1t is said that some twenty pieces Of carpet
ing which were put in the organ at the Monu
mental Church are to be taken out, so that Mr
Wheat may display the fui. power OF the In
strument. So great is its force, 1t is fnrthel
said, that when all the stops are out the win
dows are in danger. Windows or no windows
Mr.. Wheat Is going to let us have the full bene
fit of his organ. This ia good news for every
body but the editor OF the Enquirer, who con
siders that sacred instrument. the Jewsharp
the only proper organ for religious edihce.
