refuse something sweet at the close of a
sensible repast
am not sufficiently acquainted with
any portion of Texas better known
than this, to describe it by comparison,
the most natural and most satisfactory
method, nor is there any part of
Louisiana 1 have seen, like it. 1t bears
some resemblance, 1 would judge,
never having been in that parish, to
the prairie region of st. Landry. The
prairies near the Lake are not ex-
tensive, nor continuous. Strips Of
timber, mostly oak, with some pine
and sweet gum, shut in the view at
distances varying from a few hundred
yards to several miles. My first view
of the Lake was in the gray of the
morning and at distance of 4 miles, the
view terminating there by reason of the
narrow strip of large oak and gum in
which the buildings stand. The
prairies show true prairie soil, black,
sticky and now crumbly, while the
timbered land is, what is commonly
known, as hard hog wallow land, lower
than the prairie surrounding, and
having much the appearance Of ponds
long since gone dry. 1t is Impossible
for me to say what are the productive
qualities Of any of this soil, as | have
not seen bat one worm fence around
or about the lake, nor an acre of land
with anything growing on it but the
grass and weeds indigenous to the soil.
1t must he rich in possibilities. At
least, however, it is IL land magnificent
in real prospects rs the unaccustomed
eye Of the hill or alluvial traveller
may look upon it. "A solitary mountain
here and there, Clouds Rest, South
Dome, or Watch Eye, and few
cataractS moved down from the Yose-
mite valley, may eXhance the sublim
ity of the view, but to the cost Of u
happy repOse of vision lulling the
mind into dreamy distractions and
Of the world and its cares.
The drives over these prairies must be
but of the fact | know
this resort not being supplied
with either barber, Il billiard-table,
saloon or livery stable. Game is
abundant near here, and is not difficult
to take There are deer plenty, prairie
chickens, partridge, snipe and ducks
later in the season, and bear are killed
not days ride away. The ducks, /
am told, swarm in all the depressions
in the prairies that hold water,
greedily gathering the seeds of the
grass growing there.

and component parts, am precluded,
