delayed Letter. I

Hades ,Fevised version) some one has
said is paved with good Intentions
Remembering the promise to give Won
the names OF all who have represented
Stark County from its incipiency until
| now, that few of the veterans vet re-
naming, may estimate the talent in
| vested at the rate of $500 per day, with
the genius then in the public service at
per diem compensation of three dollars.
1t is no part of the promise of your
correspondent to decimate the quid pro
| quo allowed to Legislators, but simply to
| furnish basis Tor comparison. This
| shall be done in my next, with a proud
reference to the remaining few of the
ancient regime.
This Legislature, bright, progressive,
and aggressive, as it claims to be, is
moving slowly, and, of their action
nothing can be said to interest your
people.
BRIGHT MAN.
When the organization was eomplet-
ed, the fact developed that Mr.. Conrad,
from your county, was called to fill the
| role OF the veteran Scott, of Warren,
Many doubted the capacity of the un-
| tried Conrad to head the Finance Conn
mi4tee, but events demonstrate that he
Is fully equal to the draft. Untiring
labor, integrity of purpose and devotion
1
compensates for ScOtt's tact, thrift, and
yoluble vagaries on general economy.
On the whole, Conrad has done much
| good, and the boots of the veteran Scott,
seem to tit him admirably well and he
wears them quietly with the iron heel
withdrawn, the creepe 8 thrO VIII side
and the hob nails extracted.
A ''sNIDE-R."
Your other man, floats with the apples.
He thinks the Almighty endowed him
with certain inalienable charms,
amongst which are life, mOustache and
| lOcOmOtiOn. He deems it his duty to
embellish the attractions inherited, and
right well does he follow the bent of
his conviction. He has the endorsement
of "Old Stark" and will strut the lime
stone halls in the majesty of conscious
| strength.
The Democrats of the House main
tain reserved dignity, mOdestly en-,
| dOrsing or opposing the various projects
introduced, as taught by their creed,
| knowing themselves helpless in the
grip of superior power. The face of
the Hon. VIM. Bell jT., lends a genial
glow to the South Carolina" squad,
and on the whole, that section of the
body depOTts itself with credit to them
selves and their constituents.
This rambling epistle must reach a
hnality, for it is late. With a crazy cor
net and a giddy fiddle dOling out uncer-
CATERS and boots full of poetic motion
attempt to keep step, l close without
announcing text for the promised
| future communication.
REOPENING OF THE NEIL HOUSE.
The Neil House, long favOrite hos
telry, will reopen before this letter
1 ,N.kTr
| equipment than was ever dreamed of by
| its former caterers. All the appoint
ments are superb, even elaborate, and it
| may be asserted truthfully, that with
the exhibit of tomorrow, will be thrown
open the portals of the most perfect
| hotel in the State-nOt in capacity, for
there are larger houses, but in choice
finish and intelligent response to the
demands of the age, with the single
purpose of contributing to the comfort
of those who are forced, or through
choice, to make their homes in hotel.
The lessee, Mr.. H. McKinnie, is veteran
in his calling, and cost in each depart
ment has been ignored, and from this
day hencefOrth, if anything is uttered
commOdatiOns," much needed facility"
"lOng felt want" etc, ETC., the perempt-
Ory order is "shoOt him down on the
spot"
All embarrassment is removed, the
Improvements are completed and the
"Old NeiP stands, model of elegance
and convenience that will challenge
the admiration of the travelling public
generally, and Columbus people partic-
ularly.
In accordance with the eternal fit
ness of things" and to maintain a uni
form standard of perfection, from a
number of applicants for the stand
from which the fragrant Havana and
the spicy literature of the day is to be
retailed, Mr.. John Cashatt drew the
prize. As caterer in the line indicat-
ed, he is inimitab lie, and whilst he Ia.
bOrs assiduOusly for the cent, per cent,
it is always with an eye single to meet
the varied tastes of his patrons. His
equipments are grand, and his captivat-
ing smile enhancing. The field is a
broad one, the draft on thorough culture
great, and expectation on the qui-vive,
but as l might have prefaced in this
hurried letter. From attic to sub-cel-
lar, a harmonious whole is presented,
and, of course that includes Johnny
Cashatt.
The above letter was received too late
for publication last week.-ED. DEMO-
