GETTING READY FOE THE FALL CAMPAIGN.
The Republicans are getting ready Tor the
fall campaign sure enough. They are gong
TO make q last dying struggle all over Inc
land: and the third.term men are much en-
rouraced at the prospects OF the present
President. One OF the United States
storekaepers who lives here has just
received money-circular from Sena-
for Edmunds, chairman OF the Ma
tional Republican Committee, assessing lin
s1O for the current expenses OF the ca1n-
naipn. This storekeeper is very In.elneept
German. and he has, | am told, received
similar application, for pccublary ana 10 Keep

secure. Now, the smallest assessment mat
this National Republican Committee makes
is this $40 on the storekeepers. 1here
are about forty storekeepers in this
connty-or, rather, one to each distil-
Icry-and supposing that there are
foriy. there will be S400 from this quarter
alone. Now. just think Of all Of Grants
other offiee.holders in this county, and,
indeed. in the other counties and cities in the
State. The poSLmasters and their clerks. the
marshals and their assistants, the revenue
men. their assistants and clerks, and

GOING TO TIE SPRINGS.
A large number OF persons are passing
here on every train en- route TO the various
springs. The number at the White, am
told by gentleman just from there, is about
6OO-possibly few more; at the Ola sweet,
40: Sweet ChaIybeate, 200; Warm, 100;
Hot. IT'S: Healing, 100; Rockbridge Alum,
$50: Rockbridge Baths, 200; Stribling, 100.
Az The other waterips-placcs the number Of
visitors is in the same proportion.
SPRINGS LIpE.
Some days it is very hard to kill time n.
the springs, especially if it Is raining. Then.
again. if you get in with pleasant party
the time slips away before you know it,.
-.Dreakrast at $50. Think Of it. Why, its
the very best time TO sleep when you are in
the mountains cool, delightful morn
jprs. Bv balc-past s, however, even the
--LATEST folks have finished. Then the first
thing is the mail. Nobody knows except
those who have been 10 the mountains how
it's deyourcd. The papers are read and re-
read. At the Warm, Colonel Eubank-who,
by the way, is about the best springs pro-
prietor have ever scen--takes the mall lnto
the office and assorts the letters out on the
counter Just as if he was going TO play olu
maid! The ladies all rush in and range
themselves Immediately in front, aud grab AZ
the letters as the Colonel lays them down.
The gentlemen are in the porch smoking,
and when the ladies come out they 60 To-.
Next in order Is visit to the ten.pln alley
and hiiiard.room for some of the ladies and
few gentlemen. Many Of the gentlemen,
however. deem it more profitable to call on
the tiger. or have game of poker Gust Tor
fun.v Won know. Wearying OF these sports
all hands 20 to the baths, except peculiar
set. who never do nything but eat and talk.
They are venerable ladies and gentlemen
who wear their gray hair in all sorts Of fan.
tastic shapes, and who come to the springs
for the sake of the joys they've tasted Some
body has called them graveyard desert
ers." From the baths we 60 to our rooms
and loll until the first bell-an hour
before dinner-that time is spent in
prinking, and the next very pleasantly in
the dining.room. A walk and talk upon
the piazza after dinner, or drive or ride or
ramble 10 the mountains, and the time is
well.nigh gone until an hour before supper.
Then preparations are made for the ball
room, and after tea and until II O'Clock the
young folks spend the time in dancing in
The ballroom. A few stragglers are in the
smokiug.rooms playing euchre, whist, or
chess few young folks talking love in the
arborS. and getting wet fiom the dew, and
the rest are either in bed or playing with the
tiger. And so we spend the time. Sunday
we 90 to church instead OF playing cards, or,
rather, some do.
But INV season is over in the mountains.
Nv rheumatism is almost well, and so must
90 home and to work. +. Il. +.
