communication with oil parts of the build
Ing, sumptuous fare, pleasant and obilging
manager and clerks. and polite and atterl-
tive servants, tend to make the visitors
stay OF the most pleasant character. The
company during the present season hRs been
quite large and very select. General socia-
bilits has prevailed throughout, and the
stranger in ashort time is made TO feel that he
is stranger longer, but is one OF grand
family in whose society he Is expected to
enjoy the comforts aud pleasures OF home.
Among the guests here Mt present are
number from your city, including Mr.. and
Mrs. L. Darlington Cabell, Miss Belle
Cabel|, Miss Julia Necson, Miss Purcell,
Mrs. Cardozo, Mr.. William e. Binford, Mr..
A. b. Bigelow, and Mr.. William L. Royal.
BY the way, your correspondent "Wall-
Flower" In his letter from the Old White,
refers to the last-named gentleman rs "con-
spicuous for his retiring manners and diff
dence OF SPEECH" aud I must say
he is we'll sustaining his reputation
here. His 'sretiring" manners arc partic-
ularly noticeable. He is always retiring"
to some pleasant and shaded place about the
grounds to while away the hours, but it SO
happens that he prefers the company OF a
fair damsel, IL whom he seems to take much
interest. Good luck to you, Buck. My
young friend Bigelow was also given to
spending pleasant hours in company with
one OF Virginia's fair daughters. lie left
to-day for home, but his heart is with "the
girl he left behind him." Billy Binford is
having good time generally in quiet way
with all the Young ladies. He does the
agreeable so pleasantly that his company is
never Objectionable to young or old.
Among the visitors from other parts Of
the country are Colonel Getting and daugh-
ter, Of Texas; Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke, from
the same State; Mrs. w. w. Flanagan and
Miss Ira Jordan, Of Charlottesville; Mrs.
Judge Perkins and Miss 4. NJ. Bailey, OF
Louisiana; Mrs. Marriott and Miss Belle
Marriott. OF Baltimore; Mr.. and Mrs.
Thornton, OF Georgia; Major and Mrs. J.
NJ. Brown, Of Washington; Mrs. DR.. L.
Clay Maddox, Of Baltimore; Mr.. and Mrs.
TIehebower and Miss Julia Turnbull, Of
Baltimore (the latter most agreeable and
charming young lady to whom your CORE
spondent is indebted for pleasant hours
during his brief stay here; and DR.. Gratz,
OF New Orleans. This last-named gentle
man. though past his youthful days, is the
life OF the compaHy. His repartee and fund
OF wit and good h,lmor is ineXhaustable,
and his company is always desirable. Many
of those now here will soon wend their way
homcward, but they cannot fail to bear away
with them the most pleasing recollections OF
their sojourn at the Jordan Alum.
cannot close this without paying just
tribute to the charming Mrs. Tinsley, wife
OF the proprietor, to whose atfable manners
and untiring efforts in that direction the
general enjoyment of all is mainly due. l
leave this place to-day regretfully, but fully
determined, if spared another year, to take
another trip hitherward and renew the
pleasant associations of the past. JAP.

A Buddhist nun in Marking, aged half a
century, pleaded in public and private for
money to build a temple to her faTorite god
dess, Kwan-yin Buddha. Itwas all in vain.
Finally she caused her lips to be closed by
lock, which passed through them, and then
a circular enclosure Of bricks with one
small window was built around her. There
she stood for several days, resolved to die
unless the people gave her money for the
temple. Avast throng, touched by her de-
votion and piety, contributed the funds,
and she was released from self-imposed I'M
prisonment and silence. ~. ns
