Mount Mitchell is the highest peak
on the Alleghanies and the nearest
mountain of greater altitude is in
Colorado. about 1000 miles distant.
the query naturally arises as to the
source of this spring.
The only conclusion is that it is a

"A surveyor" said he, lin doing a

not only necessary for the drawing of
his plans, but also incidentally that

other survey being made later on.
This data, YOU see, really constitutes
q sort of capital Or stock in trade, for if
the party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose he
will naturally apply to that same sur

cheaply than any other surveyor. Ofte :

A MINSTREL OF THE LAKE.
Written for the LIGHT.

Written Tor the LIGHT,
1t is not an unusual thing to see
some grand conception Of the ever
lastingly desecrated by loading it
down with artificial f1nery. 1t is
perhaps this fault that artists
seek to obviate when they create
images in the plain unornamented
guise in which nature wrought
their models, or if delicacy prompt
aught in the matter, to loosely
hang them over the plain, but
graceful folds of Grecian drapery.
A still and innocent hunt for an
afternoons diversion in the shape
Of steamboat ride on the lake OF
the Austin dam, was what filled
my head with some such far off
notion. This great structure which
has been built across the sluggish
Colorado river, is without doubt as
sublime a monument to enterprise
and human ingenuity as any COM
munity could desire, and, though
ill as artifice compares with ma
lures handiwork, it remains, one
might say, fitting companion
piece to the natural grandeur that
frames in the lake it helped create.
AS the great rude steamer, with
its pleasure seeking crowd prone
nading its decks, patroniZing its
cool and shaded comforts, or dane
ing to the strains Of mellow string
music, backed out Of its mOorings,
turned about and leisurely steamed
up the eXpanse of water, there un.
folded to the gaze OF the beholder
a scene Of rare and rugged, bluff.

who so well essayed to spread its
fame on the wings Of nicely round.

But, stranger, if you think that
the town that helped create this
lake has failed to people it's grand
and noble banks with gods and
demi.gOds and heroes greater still
you iall short in your conception
of its enterprise. And having PEG
