A NEW RIVAL TO MINT.-From time i'm.
memorial the Virginia mint julep has been
famous as the most palatable drink in the
world but in this day of wonderful changes
and discoveries, the time honored mint julep
is stripped of Its laurels and releeated to 8
back seat among the common everyday
drinks, and it's place In the fore rank is TAX
en- by the fowery.titled chrysanthemum
iulep. This important historical change is
due to an accidental discovery of one of the
Magic city's hospitable citizens few days
since. He had as his guest a northern friend
who knew not the seductive charms of the
Virginia julep, and our hospitable host was
happy in the anticipation of giving his guest
drink fit for the GODS It was late when
they reached home, and the moon was not
shining in it's wonted glory, but our host,
nothing daunted, made straight way for his
coveted mint bed. By some unaccouutabe
means he lost his reckoning, and instead of
of young chrysanthemums. These he gath.
cred abundantly with willing hands, and no
time was lost in mixing the delicious
draught which was specially complimented
by the guests oath of allegiance and devo.
tion to Virginia IS idol. The following morn
ing, however, our hostess discovered thesad
havoc to her flower bed, and our host awoke
to find himself hero of discovery, second
only to Columbus. The assertion Is ventured
that there will be not few old Virginians
who will suspiciously eye this new rival of
their old standby, but one zip of the flow
cry drink will dispel all fears. So cay guest
and host.-Roanoke NeiCs.
