The Beach Hotel and the Rink are among
the more popular institutions of Galveston
The latter is an immense building, used fol
skating, dancing, and assemblies of al
kinds. The beach, so delightful in summer
was now exceedingly dreary.
The excursion to deep water" was upon
the whole the most novel and interesting
part of our experience at Galveston. But
We fancy the novelty and interest would
soon pail.
Miss Guillott, the poetess of the Associ
alton, not only furnished creditable poem

NEW ORLEANS.
We will start out by answering some in
quiries we frequently hear made. Coco
board and lodging, as We found, may be
had at two dollars day. BY favor of Mr.
Andrews, secretary of Maj. Elliott, wefount
accommodations at the home of Mr.. au6
Mrs. Noyse, No. PAT Terpsichore near St
Charles street. (All the nine muses. we be-
leve are represented in successive streets)
We found it very nice home-like place,
which we can recommend to any of our
people who may visit New Orleans. Some
of our crowd were not so fortunate. The
editors of the Luing Signal and Gonzales
Enquirer, for instance, were charged S. pei
day for themselves and wives for the use o.
two rooms separated by cloth partition.
The cost ofa week spent at New Orleans, by on,
person including railroad fare, need not exceed $50

Speaking Of Mollie E. Moore leads US to say, that
hearing of her re,dence in the city, we felt that 1t
was but proper as citizen Of San Marco
where her early life was spent, and to whose iam'
she has so greatly contributed by her mush admired
poem, he River San Marcos" for us to call AM
pay her our respects. We called accordingly
between and 10 u. IN and sent up our card ant
a copy OF the FRyR Pass, but the servant brough
word that she not yet up. 1t being the morning
following Mardi Gras, we held her excusable. w
were invited to call at later hour but to our re
gret did not fluid time to do so.
One OF the most pleas mt results Of the EXPOSE
tion is the meeting of friends long separated b,
time and distance. We happened at the indiana
iepar ment where meeting OF lndlanans had beeI
called, and met several friends whom we had no
seen for about dozen years, among whom we vii
name Mrs. Sarah Shumard, a relative, from Rich
mond, Indiana Mrs. Beeson, with her husband, rep
resenting the fence Of her brothers, the Sedgewicks
somewhat kn,wn In our town; James N. Starr, ons
of the solid men Of Richmond head OF the ga
works, etc; and Sylvester johnson and wife, o
Irvngton. Mr.. Johnson was formerl' auditor o
Wayne county, and we had been in years gone by II
intimate personal ond political relations with him
We need not say that these meetings were 10 us ex
eeedingly gratifying.
