By casual observation you can plainly see that by the time a woman thoroughly understands the ins and outs of love she is usually too old to care anything about it. Now that the war is over there is nothing to attract attention from the country fair, which is about ripe on the hough. There is more money to be made by humoring people than by instruct ing them. Particularly so, with a newspaper. Don't forget that an ounce of silence is better than a pound of ex planation, when boss politicians re fuse to recognize qualifications and ability.

I Good actions crown themselves with lasting days; I Who well deserves needs not another's praise, i -Heath. However true, these lilies, it is only • just to praise the suocesslul etlorts ol the j Chautauqua people. et we will omit, j that part and set down existing tacts, and j let each mind be its judge and jury. Through the kindness ot the efficient management of the Assembly, the News Itkm was provided with a passport that privileged us to remain an entire day and to eat, drink and he merry, which is made possible bv the well managed a flairs and the care exercised by the oflicersand their subordinates. In the fulfillment of this accepted in vitation we embraced the first opportunity that presented itself Saturday morning and consigned ourself to the excellent care of our genial Conductor Knipe, whose pleasant manner makes the outset ot ones journey full of radiant hope and joyous expectations, providing his train on the \V. ii N. B. is in regular accord with the schedule time and no one is seriously conflicting with his rules regarding the expectoration of tobacco extract on the coach floors. As to the Chautauqua, limited space | prevents of going into detail in telling our readers of all that is to be seen, heard and enjoyed at this popular resort which is as yet in its infancy,but growing wonderfully. The one theme ol wondering comment is the marvelous transformation which has taken place since the close of last season. Several tlfousand dollars would ! hardly cover the substantial improvements and amusement ventures that have been j rife throughout the entire year. All clas ses of artizans have been kept busy build ing, painting, grading streets and beauti fying the place generally. In fact wher ever one may look it will be observed that the painter's art has been called in to requisition to beautify the premises. A stroll on one of the long avenues to its extreme end will reveal the expenditure of many dollars in making preparations tor the amusement of the younger contin gent with a gymnasium and bowling alley, and to the close observer many new amuse ments have been provided for that prove very acceptable to visitors. A bright and newsy morning paper is published on the grounds this season. Such excellent talents as the Park Sisters, The New Century (juartette Co., Kli Perkins, Mrs. Bertha Kuuz Baker and many others ranking high as entertainers, can be en joyed. A visit to the Chautauqua is time and money well spent. Camp Correttpondeiic. CHII KAMAIGA PAKK, CA. The boys enjoy a game of hall nearly every day. It is the Colonel's wishes that they should indulge in the sport. The Ist. regiment of Vermont left the park today for their own state where they will lie must ered out of serviee.

L., died on Tuesday of typhoid fever and was interred in the National Ceme tery at Chattanooga. .Memorial ser vices were held on Wednesday eve ning in the V. M. ('. A. tent. Mr. Kent and Lieut. lirown made very impressive addresses to the boys. ——The 9th took part in a sham bat tle on Friday. The weather was very hot but they succeeded in capt turing the enemy. There is great improvement in the general condit ion of the regiment. Captain Moore and ten privates of Co. M.,. took a trip out to Jones' Spring on Tuesday, to prepare it to get water for the army. Having a larger con tract 011 our hands than we antici pated we were compelled to eat din ner where we could get it, which was at an old darkie's, who prepared a delicious repast consisting of warm biscuit, ginger bread, roast chicken, and a noble sweet potato pie, which was a new dish to ail. The boys did justice to their appetites and soon relieved the table of it's burden which was the tirst one they have had the pleasure of sitting at. As I was one of the party, I heard no one complain of 110 appetite, but rather not capacity enough. The last review of the great Chickamauga Ar my took place at Mnodgrass Hill 011 Wednesday, the 17. Forty-four thousand soldiers who have for months been ready to battle for their country paraded together 011 the his toric Held. The occasion was that of the review of (Jen. Breckenridge's i entire command, including cavalry, j artillery, infantry and ambulance | companies. The time of the review i was between the jiours of 9 : 45 a.m. and noon. Early in the morning the bugle sounded, which called the many thousand boys up and immed iately began preparing for the last grand event. The day was an ideal I one. The sky was clear and a fresh ' breeze was blowing which cooled the air which otherwise might have caused many to drop out of the ranks.
