Correspondence Enquirer-Sun, Aubukn, Ain., July 24.—I do not see any thing, since commencement, in your valuable paper from the “loveliest vil lage.” An outsider might think that the A. and M. college was about all the inter est there is at Auburn. That Is a mistake for just the other day we heard a gentle man from your city, who has been here long enough to know what he is talking .about, say that he has never lived in so pleasant an atmosphere. The nights are cool and not a mosquito has presented his bill yet, nor claimed kin with him. He wonders why it it that people go off to the mountains to seek comfort and a healthier climate, when they can find it so much near er home, lie says, surely the people living in Montgomery and Columbus do not know what there is so close to them, or they would come out and taste and realize for themselves. Ho It is, and always will be— “distance will lenu enchantment to the view.” The Indians used to say: “White man poor hunter; he look ’way off for the game—Indian look close about'him.” And this is true in more things than hunting. It is time the college bell bungs silent in the tower, and its clangor does not disturb our morning naps, nor the tramp, tramp of the cadets enliven our -streets, but yet Ave have much to interest those that have interest here. It is wonderful how the cadets lin ger about the village after the commence- ■ mentH are over. There seems to be an at traction here for them, or some of them. 1 do not think the college halls have any thing to do with it. flic cause is some place else. Your townsman, Mr. J. A. Frazer, came ■over Thursday evening, and in company with him and his sister,on Friday morning, ive sSopped into a carriage and were driven live miles northwest of Auburn lo the res idence of Mr. Hillery Bostick, who is now in his eighty-fifth year, where we found Mr. A. B. Bostick, who is an officer of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and his youngest soil, Emmet, of Atlanta, who had arrived the day before. Air. Bostick comes every year to eat his birthday din ner with his aged parents,' broth ers and sisters, and their families. How few men there are that have the privilege of eating their birth-day ■dinners with parents as old, and how feAV men there are who will leave their buriness to do so? How many men have regretted in after life while those dear forms were mouldering hack to dust that they did uot? IIow strange it is that child ren visit their aged parents so little. Good and faithful boys always make good and faithful men, and good and faithful men never neglect their aged parents. Ho it is not strange that Berry Bostick should leave his business once a year to ■cheer and comfort them in their second childhood. We thought as we sat beside that long table, groaning Beneath its burden of good things, and at the head of it the aged father and at the foot the mother, as they looked upon the manly form and intelligent face of their dear boy how short the time since his first birth-day. Yet that was the 54th. (There now we have told his age, but he is not a widower nor likely to be one soon, so we’ll risk what may happen). Fifty-three years! only a'few more birth-days, and the priv ilege of eating birth-day dinners with father ana mother will have ceased in this life. Mr. Editor, would it not bo a beautiful .tiling for more of our people to get into the habit of eating birth-day dinners with parents ? It is one ot the habits that no one will ever regret having formed. These family re-unions; how sweetly their memories llinger to some who will read these lines! Long since those loved forms were laid away in the ground, and the grass grows above them, and the winds .sigh among the pine trees about their lonely graves. After spending one of our very best days we returned to Auburn in tile cool of the evening, where we met Col. Newman, who took us out to the college farm, aud ■showed us one of the grandest sights to be seen in all thiscouutry. Where a few years ago was an old field all scarred with .gullies, he showed us the finest specimens of agricultural products, and ill variety too numerous to mention. From the farm, in company with Colonel D. F. Boyd, President of the University of Louisiana, who arrived here a few days ago on a visit to his family, who reside here and have ever since lie was president of the A. and M. college. We were invited to the college farm house where we were asked to partake of water melons aud canteluops. Wu were sorry to have to decline, as we had been taking freight all day, consequently the colonel would have us load some into the carriage to bring home with us. While at the farm house Colonel N. showed us a stalk of eot- ton about three feet high, whose roots spread over a surface of forty-two feet. He had wushed ttiis stalk of cotton out of the ground in order to show the length of the roots. The top root was not more than eight or ten inches long, but some of tbc surface roots Avere seven or eight feet. This stalk of cotton shows as plainly as the nose on -a man’s face that cotton ought not to re ceive deep culture. After the first plow ing the cotton should be very shallow. Mr. Frazer had never visited the college farm before, and laid no idea of the extent and usefulness of it, and came away highly pleased with the farm and us much so with the colonel and his wife. The crops of corn about Auburn are jast as good as the lauds are able Lo produce. The cotton would have been the better with less rain. Now and Then. RESTORED TO HER HUSBAND. believing Him Demi, She Hail Hurried Again— Ills Patient Vigil. New York World. Lowell, Mass., July 19.—Felix H. Sad- lier shouldered a musket in ISfilland went south with a Pennsylvania regiment to bat tle for his country. He parted affection ately from his bride and in a few months his name appeared among the list of the killed. The wife, whose young heart was nearly broken, removed to New England. Sadler had uot been killed. Tidings of his wife could uot be found, although he searched as long as his money held out for her and the child that had been born during his absence. Then lie re-enlisted, telling his friends that he hoped that a correct report of his death would reach them before long. After t lie war he obtained a situation in the New York custom house. He held different minor positions in the vicinity of Wall street and speculated carefully until he had acquired u considerable fortune. Then he went to Shadetown, a small town near Columbus, O., where he lived the life of a hermit for years except wiien lie went to New York to look after his investments. As his fortune grew the old longing for his wife and child grew also. A private detective of New York was employed and about thirteen years ago he discovered that the wife had been married at Watertown, Maas., to Mr. Demiug. The first husband was nearly deranged at the infor mation, but for twelve years he suffered w i n V t .,,' vlshi,, P ‘o shock his I I i ch cl a l , P enr 'ng before them. I l no weeks ago the detective telegraphed that the second husband had died in Pin . ! odslphia and Mr. Saddlier hurried enst t once, arriving here this morning. H i drove to lus wife’s house and made hillin'!I' known to her. An hour or two later ttu pair accompanied by two children, starte . 1 lor the west. tron traveled oyer several adjoining counties says that his observation is that the crou- ol Hart are in the main equal to and m I some instances better than the other conn ties. It is a gloomy time, but with fnvora- I ole weather from now oti the crops will turn out as well ns last year. There is this | advantage: The outlook has caused tin people to he more economical, and ah things considered we believe the eomitrv i will be in better conditon when cotton ! is gathered this year than was the case last i year. Dawson Journal : A gentleman who is ! a close and intelligent observer of things generally, remarked to a Journal scribe 1 uesday that the cotton crop in his section would mnke not much more than a half yield. He has traveled twelve or fifteen miles in every direction from the city and I reports the crop, with few exceptions, a.s very sorry. The weed is large and vigor ous hut is not. fruiting and is extrein sly ■ grassy. Many farmers, lie says, have been i forced lo abandon a portion of their crop : on account of the firm hold grass obtained among it. Mrs. Markny suit the Sick krllst. A young woman from California had \ t£one to Paris to take lessons in painting. She hud great chpaeity, boundless ambi tion and great hope. She wan poor, but her people gave her up to art, and looked forward with pride and expectation when : siic would return to honor and delight them. But alas! and alas! death is in the world. Her doctor told her that there was but one thing she could do to save her life—) return to California. “Return to Califor nia? Why, I have not a dollar loft. All I my people have already spent all they had j to help me to get. on here?’ The doctor said no more, hut took his I hat and wont away, promising to call the next afternoon. The poor California invalid met him at tin: door and caught his hand in both of hers, while tenr.^pf delight ran down her face and fell on ins hand. “Doctor! doctor! I can go home. I will see California again. And t know I shall then get well. Come sit down and 1 will tell you all about my good luck. Why, it is just like a fairytale. Yes, it is.
