Sweet Springs, July oath, [Corres-
pOndence. The glory of the military
still hangs like halo over the hearts,
of at least the feminine portion Of the
guests here, and many fond reminis-
cences are INDUCED in. They tell of
the five beautiful balls" that were
given, where the ladies wore their
prettiest toilets, with "silks and laces,

men at the Springs to a BAzoo repre-
sentative, sit was like a glimpse of
real life after sOlstice in a desert"

took of lovely refreshments in beau
tifully lighted tent, and also at which
Gov. Marmaduke, Adjutant General
Jamison, Col. Bull, Capt. Goode and
oilers said pretty and, erstwhile elO-
quent things, as they offered toasts
and gave responses. There was music
there, too, and light laughter and
pretty dresses and plenty of
flowers and all those things
which to people of the world are
as the wine of life and the nectar of
