DEAD FROM THE DEEP.

Recently a dead body was washed in
from the ocean through the inlet. 1t was
discovered floating III the bay by q fisher
man. and was subsequently brought to the
island. The man was evidently sailor,
and was about thirty years Of age. There
was nothing found upon him by which he
conld be identified. He was prepared for
burial and laid to rest near the beach
about hundred yards east of the Rich
mond House.

NEW MANAGEMENT.

Cobb's Island will be under new man.
agement this year. and although no new
buildings have been erected workmen have
been busy for weeks making repairs and
cleaning up for the season. Mr.. X. N.
Woolling is the manager. and he has an
able assistant in his clerk. Mr.. Boley. Both
of them are experienced hotel-men and
well known in Virginia.
The Spray, a little steamer which halls
from Alexandria, has been chartered and
will run between the Island and Broken
borough's wharf, commencing June lst.
The boat is probably larger than that
used last wear. To reach the Island from
Richmond parties will have to lay over all
night either at Old Point, Norfolk, or Cane
Charles and arrive at Cobb's station at
Ills A. NJ. Parties coming from the North
will bo met at Cobb's at 4:48 2. NJ.
Ii is proposed to establish a telegraph
Office at Cobb's station. If done 1t will
be q great convenience.

Mr.. Lucius Cobb, the former clerk at the
hotel, visited the island this week and
placed neat marble tombstone over the
grave of his father, the late Albert Cobb,
who died suddenly during the past winter.
Young Mr.. Cobb is building quite hand
some residence on the mainland about a
mile from Cheriton station. Rumor has 1t
that he will soon lead to the altar one Of
the bellies of the county.
Captain Crumb, Of the life-saving sta
ton, who is an expert taxidermist, has o
fine collection of specimens this year.
During tho past season the life-sav ngs
crew have visited some thirteen wrecked
and stranded vessels.
Mr.. Nathan Cobb, though the patriarch
of the island, stands as erect and is as
active as in recent years. He went out on
Monday and with his three-pronged spear
or grange" succeeded in capturing three
large drum-fsh, the largest weighing fifty
eight pounds.
As is the case each year, the beach has
undergone considerable change, and Is
rather rougher than heretofore. The
great shell wall is thing of the past.
A new and larger bath-house has been
erected. and the two wharfs put in excel
lent repair.
Cobb's is hard place to reach, but like
fortune and fame delightful when you

The Buffalo Lithia has its summer season,
but do not see why it should not be kept
open nine months in the year. 1t has an
especially even climate, and ] can well i'm
agine that in the late fall its surround
ings are unsurpassed for beauty. The
neighborhood abounds in charming drives
and the roads generally are in good condi-
ton.
Anent the matter of malaria again, 1t
should DO said that the effects of these
waters ere not simply 10 cure the attack
but to eradicate tho poison from the sys-
tenn thoroughly. They are specific for
that meanest, most sneaking. diabolical,
and demoralizing malady. This point |
desire to emphasize, for have the pro-
foundest sympathy for any one who has
ever been thus afflicted. The waters are
no less 4 specific for equity affections, but
ia govt one can get some relief by throw
ing a bootiack at the head of the floor
servant and making himself generally dis
agreeable, and when tho acute attack is
over he has the temper Of an angel. When
in the clutches of the demon malaria, how
ever. be hasn't the energy even to become
irritated.

HOW TO RrACH TIE SPRINGS.

The Buffalo Lithia can be readily reach
ed from oil parts of the country since the
Atlantic and Danville railroad has been
completed. This road is crossed by the
Atlantic Coast Line at Bellfeld, by the Dan
Vile system at Je1rey's Junction, and its

South the visitor can come ria Danville, ka-
leigh, or Belfeid, and from the North ria
the bay to Norfolk, ria the York-River line
through Richmond, and down by Keysville,
and ria the Coast Line through Richmond
and Bellheld. At Atkins junction, on the
Atlantic and Danville, short line ofsthree
miles is taken 10 the springs. This line is
standard guage in every respect even down
TO the conductor of tho train, Captain
Walker, who is Of standard width as to cor

lifelong Republican, delivered the principal
address. lie advocated with much earnestuess
the building Of a gigantic monument, which
should oVertOp the Washington Monument as
far as that OvertOps Other5-to be- in fact, the
taiiest column OF stone in the world and 90 be
erected ia memory Of the valor and patriotism
OF FederaIs aud CoGfedsrates alike He would
have ii5 sides engraved with suitable inscrip-
tIGns in symbols, the site Of its erection to be
selected BY veteran vote, and the money to
Do raised Uy national contributions. He thought
such monument would stand for decades as a
testimonial Of the fact that the passions of the
war bad ended. The Post Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic took up the matter and re-
quested tie cooperation Of all Posts Of the
GAR. and Camps Of Confederate Veterans
Many veterans OF Texas have been heard from,
and the invitation will bs extended outside the
State. l5 is expected to assume national
character in a short time. It is claimed that
the money to build the monument can be
raised in years time.
