Last evening two of Black's boarders
came over to look at rooms — ladies — said
to be a banker's wife and daughter — said
thev could not endure the noise over there
had heard good reports of our" Eyrie"
from our two friendly Dukes ; took rooms
in the hill cottage and would move over
this morning. They came again for good
after breakfast. Gentleman soon after
came over in a buggy ; a colonel some-
body; has been stopping at the Palmer,
the other large hotel at the depot. He
says they gave him a sour mutton chop
for breakfast this morning; that every
steak and mutton chop he has had since
he has been there has been sour "and a
fellow can't stand that, you know." He
must have had previous acquaintance
with these ladies for after engaging a room
and sending for his baggage they three

went sailing into the west in the same
boat together before they had been here
an hour.
On eleven o'clock train arrived another
member of the Dukes firm — ^lady this
time. Has been at some neighboring
resort.
"What is a lady duke called — isn't she
a duchess?'*
"Why, certainly she is a duchess — of
course. Goodness! girls, you must wait
on them splendidly, the best you know
how — for now we have a family from
Paris, two dukes, a duchess, a colonel
and a banker's wife and daughter — you
must fold the napkins in beautiful shapes,
like this and this, and cut the nnest bread
in thick blocks and lay one under the fold
of the uapkin on each inverted plate, this
way. The housekeeper will show you
more when she comes in, but I hope they
will keep her always busy in th'^* cottages
now."
Arrived at same time two elegant
boquets for the cook, viz. : one basket of
summer cabbages, 8 cost 40 cents; and
one basket summer beets and onions,
cost the same.
Have just received notice to prepare a
little birthday supper two days hence.
