Editors OF tho IntellIgcneer:
will not stop 10 inquire whether a
letter from your correspondent is desired
by you as editors, but rather ask you as
iHteIlgeneerS 10 give II TO your readers, as
| feel that what | have TO say Is news to
the majority OF our old fogy public
IT Is A FACT
which is patent to al, that perspiring hl :
manity must have some place where he
may take refuge from tho perpendicular
rays OF old Sol, and feel tho pure air OF
heaven as It comes from green trees and
cool waters, instead Of from brick walls
and dusty streets. Where, as Virgil's

ventionality Of Saratoga or White Sui
phur, 1t is In every sense ofthe word,
ARRsrEcrABLE RESORT.
And though western liberality and gener-
Gus hospitality ID not disposed TO stand very
much in awe Of barriers and boundaries,
yet there Is more honor and true man
hood among Put-in-Ba society than any
kld.glove affair in the East
