Correspondent Walks Abroad
Oh the Face Of the Earth
and Picks up Notes
by the Wayside.

Allegheny Springs, formerly
known as Boyle Springs, are situat-
ed fifteen miles from Maryville and
nearly due south; and about half
way up the side of Chilhowee
Mountain. A commodious hotel
has been erected near where the
spring breaks from the mountain
side, chiefly with the means and
energy of Mr.. Nathan Mccoy. The
hotel is in every respect complete
and furnished in the best of style.
The rooms are all nicely carpeted
and furnished with handsome wal.
nut dressers and washstands, with
marble tops and large French mir
rors. The bedsteads, springs, mat
tresses and bed.clothing are all
new. The rooms are we'll ventilat-
ed, and there is a noticeable alb
sence Of mosquitoes and flies; and
one can take a late morning nap
with the utmost enjoyment.
About forty yards up the noun.
tain, in the rear, u large tank of five
hundred barrels capacity has been
erected, and is fed from a spring
about third of a mile higher up.
The water is carried from the
spring to the tank in pipes, and
from the tank is distributed through
the hotel in the same way. The
fall in coming down the mountain
and weight of water in tank forces
the water through the building
with the power of steam engine.
The hotel is now ready for guests
and is under the present manage
ment of Mr.. s. A. Shoff, formerly
of Jay County, Indiana. Mr.. Shoff
is the right man in the right place,
and will spare no pains to make
guests comfortable. The kitchen is
presided over by Mr.. Samuel john
son, a colored man, who is also a
man of large experience, having
been cook for more than twenty
years and occupied that position in
some of the best hotels in the coun-
try. The kitchen is as neat and
clean as any lady could wish, and
the meals served could not fail to
please the most fastidiOus.
The hotel as a health resort is all
that could be desired. In the way
of amusements it is at present
somewhat lacking. Guests, how
ever, can always find something in
the way of entertainment; and the
necessaries having been provided
the proprietor is now turning his
attention to amusements. Miss
Bertha BoswOrth, niece of the
manager, is a fine performer on the
piano and also a good singer, and is
: always willing to respond to any
! invitation of the guests. (But she
will not dance.)
Mr.. James Mccoy and lady
and also Mr.. Peter Danforth anG
, Harry Lowe are residents there
and always ready to crafty the
slightest wish of visitors.
On Saturday, July 3rd, a Mary
Vile party was made up to visit
the Springs and spend the 4th. The
first to start was our gallant c. 4 NJ.

Of wealth TO the Farmers.
There is no country in the world
where the making Of roads is so close
" related to the Improvement Of the
soil by drainage as the prairie region
OF the United States. neither is there
any section where the proper grading
Of roads on every quarter-section line,
clear through townships. over hills and
hollows, adds more to the value Of the
farms. This improvement il rendered
comparatively simple BY the use Of
road-ms.xing machines, which are now
SO simple and effective that any intelli-
gent maj can operate them.
A constant mistake in making earth
roads in all the great prairie regions Of
the West. where gravel and stone are
not easily obtained. is from doing the
work piccc-meal. little here and =
little there. The proper plan to pur-
sue Is for each district of sufficient size,
through the road commissioners. to
procure road-machine. which may be
tried before paying for il Then, so
far as the work can be accomplished,
properly grade a road, with as careful

and down and.through the hollows, so
far rs the district extends. the earth to
be placed in the middle Of the road,
thoroughly graded and compactcd with
bermcs three or more feet between the
grade, and bitches. The reason for
leaving the bcrmes is that the earth of
the grade will gradually spread toward
the bitches. and il these bcrmcs are
not left the earth will spread into

earth TO the center Of the road in re-
pairs. A road once properly made the

It's measure Of economic value.
The reason why roads should be
equally graded over hills Is well as
hollows Is to keep the water passing
down the roadway in times of heavy
rains There should be grade enough
to insure the flow Of water TO the
bitches, since it Is better that the
bitches wear, and Is also easier to pre-
vent undue washing of the bitches
than Of the road-bed ON hillslides. In
the case Of sidc-hills, the ditch on the
upper side Is no less necessary, the
outfali OF water on the outside grade
being allowed to waste itself along the
natural declivity.
Thus two important objects are &C.

Who Sets Fashions for Women.

The Gainsborough hat is again coming
into style. Some four or five years ago it
was quite fashionable, but was driven out
of youge by the ridicule of the press and
sarcasm of theatre-goers. 1t disappeared
from street and parquet for time, but
has become again the rage. The other
day during brief interval of sunshine a
lady wearing a Gainsborough nearly
three feet in diameter walked on the west
side of State street, from Lake to Adams.
She was stared at by 10000 curious eyes,
and was the object of 900 remarks rang
ing from sarcasm to wonder. She did not
seem to mind it, but strolled leisurely
along with her parasol at an angle of A.
degrees, and hummed an air from the
"Mikado." She was in no hurry, but
stopped at every other shop window and
gazed therein. She had not walked
block before the universal feminine COM
ment was: 1.-THE Gains boroughs are COM
ing in again" And so they are if that
lady is as good an advertisement as she
has been in the past. She is under salary
