Typical Hotel Beats.

Nowadays. said clerk at one Of
our most popular hotels, .'eyery one
seems to think that a hotel IS common
public property. People do not realize
that a hotel. though in q great measure
q public concern, is. after all. owned
by private individuals. and is intended
for the exclusive use of the guests
of the house. OF the hundreds
OF people who come In here daily.
not more than one-half or one quarter
are patrons of the establishment We
have fitted up nice reading. writing
and smoking rooms; and for whom
have we done all this? Whv. for our
guests. of course. We couldn't be ex-
pected to furnish q resting or q loafing
place for every Tom, Dick or Harry in
the city. People do not seem to real
ize this, however. There is one young
fellow there (pointing) '-who comes
in here regularly every morning at
about 9 o clock. He takes the best seat
in our reading-room. lights his cigar.
pulls out his paper, and remains in his
seat until nearly noon. acting during
the whole time as if he owned the en-
tire place At about u o'clock he
walks out. l never knew him to spend
a cent in the hotel. He is only one Of
dozens who make practice of doing
this. There is another class of people
who come in here regularly and ask for
our writing paper. There are dozens
and dozens of people who. [ imagine,
have not spent nickel for note paper
for months. They make their daily re-
quests for OR letter-heads and envel-
opes, and then calmly seat themselves
in our writing-room and finish their
correspondence for the day. They
never patronize any department of the
hotel; they seem to think that it is our
duty to furnish the public with every
thing we keep for the use OF our guests.
The idea IS fast growing among a GER
tain class Of people that q hotel is moth
ing but free public resort. and it is
high time that this We're squelched. L
call them the typical hotel beats. -

THE LESSON TAUGHT BY OUR
LATE FAIR VALUE OF
THE NIAGARA GRAPE.

Messrs Editors: The generaFdis-
play of field, orchard and vineyard
products at the Western N. G. Agri>
cultural Fair, held at Ash eville, was
very creditableto our mountain sec
ton. It could not be expected that
the society which is scarcely yet or
ganized should manage display of
this character with the skill COM
mon to those long accustomed to
make such displays. The uniform
excellence, however, of the material
shown was quite suggestive of the
capacity of orr etransmontane
plateau 10 excelin several products,
notably, corn, Irish potatoes cab
page, wheat, oats, rye, onio. beets,
raddisi1es, cafrots, t1rn1pS, pump
kins, squashes, &C., &c. The dis
play of apples, late peaches, pears
and grapes, contained significant
lesson in regard to some industries
which, I have no doubt, will be of
great future value to this mountain
section. Whenever our people can
be brought to a proper appreciation
of orchard culture and fertilization
our orchard fruit will be without
rival And as to grapes, have
long entertained the belief that our
mountain vallies and gorges con-
tain soils and localities peculiarly
adapted to grape culture, and wine
making. There are many abrupt
mountain slopes, which by skilful
excavation could be made into wine
cellars which would insure a uni
form temperature rarely. if ever,
fouEd in ordinary localities in
leveler country, I was especially
impressed with a new grape on ex>
hibition at the Fair Grounds, the
Nadgas0. The size of this grape is
above the medium. The clusters
are large and somewhat compact,
and more delicious fruit it has not
been my fortune to meet with. In
the few berries which had the plea g.
ure of testing, | did not perceive that
acrid matter about the heart and
SCCuS Wd1CI1 L 11dtO pOIAOOluJCo I11CU
with in some other varieties. This
grape brings fifteen cents per pound
in New York, and such a grape
promises the best results in our sec
ton for either the market or the
wine cellar, and I am glad to know
that Mr. S. C. Satterwaite, Aiken, S.
c., is the Southern agent for the
sale of this grape in our section, and
is prepared to make liberal terms
with parties desiring to plant vine
yards. It is to be hoped, Mr., Editor,
that our transmontane, people will
wake up to new methods, to more
active industry and to more pains
enterprise, and utilize the
wonderful advantages with which
nature has blessed them in climate
and the capabilities of soil. Then
will our field and garden products
reach that superiority which is their
due, and our orchards and vine
wards stand without a rival.
Yours% &C.,
&C. d. SMITH.
