70 the MINING JOURNAL.
Your correspondent has been here a week,
and as yet has not quite recovered from the
shock parting from old friends, tried and
true" for we were deeply touched at bidding
farewell to many who were at the Queen City
hotel to wish us bon royagc. As a ship is
chrstencd when launched by bottle of
champagne broken over the bow, so our start
South was christened in the same regal man
ner by the careless hold of one of our party
on our bottle of 'Mumms Extra Dry and it
was smashed on the hard asphalt pavement
in a manner that would have done good the
heart of Miss Jennie Smith. 1t was the gift
of a friend at parting, and its sad fate did
much to unnerve me. Thank heaven the
bottle of choice old Freeport the gift Of J. l..
H., met better fate for it had served as
parting cup the night before, with enough
left to make an egg-nogg for our good old
friend and fellow-townsman, Philip Brode,
The trip to Cincinnati was uneveutful. A
short stop and change of cars in the Queen
City of the West and our southern trip began.
We met many pleasant fellow travellers and
made many friends, only to part with them,
hoping that less-fulhled hope of ALTO
meet again.
Lexington was reached about noon, and
soon we were speeding through the "blue
grass region of Kentucky" noted for being
the land of good whisky, fast horses and
queenly women. But it is even more widely
known as the place of meeting between the
famous southern statesmen, when the guber-
material representative Of South Carolina is
said to nave remarked to his colleague from
the Old North State-''That a considerable
period had elapsed since the last appearance
of alcoholic stimulants." BY some this is
denied and at Somerset, XIV, Claimed as the
spot memorable) are several oldest inhab-
itants who are willing to depose that the
governors words wcrc-"Lct me mix my
country's drinks-I care not who makes its
laws" An heerd him say EN-, b gosh ~
This evidence, coming, as it does, laden
with an appearance of vcracity and an odor
of fine old Bourbon, must not be passed
lightly over, even if popular opinion still
sticks to the sentence first quoted.
Leaving Somerset fading in the distance
and the usual crowd of depot loungers to fall
back into their same old state of tobacco
trance until the arrival of the next train
awokc them to live and lie again, we sped ON
into the husting South Here, between Som
erset and Chattanooga Ga between famous for
81 tunnels and causing this part of the Queen
and Crescent city system to be patronizcd
extensively by bridal couples) have sprung
up the magic cities of Cardiff and Hartman,
