arrange their rullled plumagu after The
trip. Dinner was soon announced, hnd
the table (which did not groan--wc are
rather incredulous about this grooming
flUniture) would tempt the appetite OF
the most confirmed dyspeptlc. Juicy
roast beef, tender spring chicken, fried
In old Virginia style, new potatoes,
green peas, beets, snap beans and rich,
creamy sweet mill; and buttermilk just
from the churn. How Is that for II
menu, We jaded aristocrats, who
must have your SdiDtis entrees
and mates washed down with
Clos l0ugeot, Chambortm or claret
cup? After dinner and u cigar, we
strolled down to the springs, six in
number, flowing side by side from out
the bowels of the mountain, on the
summit of which the hotel Is situated.
Iron seem to be the predominating
element in all of them, and while we
cannot give our readers an analysis of
the waters, they are composed largely
of iron, magnesia, soda and sulphur,
and have been pronounced by compe-
tent judges, health-giving and curative
in their properties. Below the springs,
further down the mountain, are other
and larger springs, which 1t is proposed
to convert into bathing pools, after the
erection of suitable buildings. The pro-
prietor of the springs is quite familiar
with the adage that Rome was
not built in IA day" and
he does not expect to make
his property Saratoga or White
sulphur in year or two. But he is
satisfied 1t possesses all necessary
qualifications for n watering place,
such as location, water, air and scenery,
and he Is determined to make 1t one.
But happiest hours have swiftest
wings, and in the evening we returned
to Marshall to mark on the tablets Of
memory most pleasant day spent at
Hynson's Springs, and then back to
busy life again. The dear old HERALD
has lost hone of its popularity i'll this
section of country; its full press dis
patches and its afternoon edition make
1t invaluable to business men, while
its recent editorials have the ring of
true metal. Will Lambert, of the
Houston Telegraph; the reporter of
the Galveston News, and the little
giant, Leader, of Jefferson, who seems
to live in hot water with his confreres,
as if it were his element, are
all here to report the jeff. Davis
barbecue on Thursday for their respec-
tive papers. Ward Taylor, of the JIM
plecute, with whom we have ex.
changed many paper pellet and
Leader are to fight duel, weapons to
be. stuffed clubs made of the files of
their respective papers, and the sur
vivor is to be drowned IN Cypress
bayou. Let us have peace.
Your correspondent cannot close
without returning his thanks to Col
onel j. w. Ross, of the Capitol, and
Mr., Mehaflty, Of the King house, for
favors. Both gentlemen not only
know how to keep hotel, but know
how to greet a wandering representa-
tive of the press with hearty well
come. Will try and give you some
notes of the jeff, Davis barbecue Thurs
day. Yours, DEsDICHADo.
