Cleayelaxd Mineral Shrinqs, ) August 1st, 1881. J To the Xdttor of The Observer. & This morning 1 unexpectedly met some mends from nome, at tne springs, for you must know that not only the guests at the hotel, out au 01 sneioy au of Cleaveland county in a word, whoev erisathirst. and whoever will may come and drink of these waters with-. out money and without price. These friends were spending a night at Shelby, en route for the mountains, and after a chat, and they had told me how hot and dusty it was in Charlotte, and I had told them how cool and restful it was up here, I went off to my favorite seat, not, (thank fortune) for any very pro longed meditation, for soon my solitude' was broken by the sound of a voice' geetfng me with a cherry good morning, and an invitation to come and go to ride. The very informality of the invi tation made it a point of etiquette to accept it at once. Realizing this I did not stand upon the order of my going, due suuiea immediately, hb uiu our gal lant little clay-bank steed well known as the fast horse at the springs not quite coming up to the record of Maud h, it is true, but fast enough to cut the wind swiftly, that came fresh from the mountains, and was full of keen exhila ration. The sky was intensely blue, the tops of the dark pines sharply out lined against it. Jungs Mountain in the soft pearly tints, "the enchantment" that "distance lends," roge above the horizon on. our rieht. The lonz ran ere of Ihe South Mountains lay on the left, with the look of calm, eternal repose the mountains always bear, so in con trast with the eternal restlessness of the sea. Behind them the clouds were banked in thunderheads, hardly dis tinguishable from the mountain peaks, but for their bright linings that over lapped the edges. This friend of mine, who held in check the little clay-bank on this breezy morning, was no newly made friend, but one whem I had known when he was a student at Chap el Hill. How many years ago it does not become me to mention ; out years well stored with pleasant memories for both of us. And Just here it is appro nriate for me to remark for the benefit si. , , . Oi xne many young gins wuu pronounce the Chapel Hillian of to-day too utterly utter and snuff adventure from afar, at the very mention of a commence ment, that the students whose names appeared in the old ante-bellum cata logues, and who figured in the annals ofthe college then, were not a whit be hind the men of the present day in any point, especially in those charming so cial accomplishments tnac renaer a gentleman an isresistable. agreeable companion. Blessings on the dear old colleze: the very name is a tie of brotherhood a pass-word. Where else were ever found such strong, such abiding friendships? Davidson, may boast of her high standard of scholar ship, her healthy morale; the Universi ty of Virginia of the prestige of her name and splendid advantages; Har vard may glory in the classic conceit of her Greek plays, and Columbia in her victorious boat races; Princeton in her glee clubs, and Bowdoin point proudly to the lonsr list of shlnintr names that claim her for their alma mater to each their fflorv and renown! But for us true loyal North CaroUniansloving every inch of Her soil From the storm- washed shores of the east to tne moun tains that sleep in gigantic grandeur in the western counties commend us to our own well beloved university, whose walls once echoed with voices the nearest and dearest to us in all the world and In whose traditions their names still live. My friend and I were unanimous on this point, and many were the old college jokes and follies he recounted as we drove home. I could not finish my letter yester day. We found dinner readysthen came the usual ppstprandja game of whist, then the nevitahle nap, Ihe late afternoon toilet, the walk to the springs, where we linger to talk till the bell for supper demands our return. We can sit in the house all the tear round, or even out on our . galleries or porches whenever we please, but it is only at rare and favored intervals that we can indulge in "a are in the woods." Appreciating this some of us here have spent every moment we pos sibly could under these trees, revelling in their freedom and beauty and chade. The last day at the springs is not al ways the nleasantest : we make delight ful acquaintances in the parlance of the day -we take strong fancies we often go farther and form real friend shins the nartinsr is hard when we feel "it may be for years, and it may be for ever All day long have pajrjed tltfs feeling abpflt with Mbt aqa not sijre nas u nag nut jeni a anajm to we pass- g event, as the golden naze ot the idian summer softens the glare of the sun and enhances the beauty of thefad- nir tear. it t as 5 a pain to part from pleasant friends, but a sfreet pain, so much better than a cold mutual indifference.

However, "honor . to whom honor is due." If the hack had lost its spring and was the worse for the wear and tear of the road, not so with the driver... August Belmont on the Tally Ho" could not have hand led the ribbons with more discretion and dexterity than did my driver du ring the ride in question. Nor could the distinguished Mr. Jim McCool have ever pointed out the objects of interest on his road with more taste and dis crimination than I Was shown all the points on the way to Shelby. We even saw "a love in a cottage" and all that was missing was the man with the fid dle, playing "Home Sweet Home." Well, I made my visit to one of the dearest and most agreeable ladies in the two; Carolina She must pardon me if I repeat here what one of her own towns women said to me: "Mrs. Brevard is to us a beloved mother su per ieure. We go to her with all our joys and sorrows and she always gives us a sympathetic response." Daring this visit I bad the good fortune to. meet a charming lady, a resident of Shelby wha beKu- "u4aU leaving, the hack and taking a seat with her be hind two dashing little black ponies that went as fast (I won't s ty as the wind any more). as a woman's tongue. A well chosen simile, for theie were three of us in the phaeton, and we gave them a lively race while we diove through the broad level shady streets and saw all tlte churches, the court house, stores and' business houses, ho tels, and residences, bright with bloom ing flowers, that would grace any city in the land, the vineyard covering twenty acres, where the grapes are al ready purpling. Here and there we could catch lovely views of the distant mountains, bathed in the glory of the setting sun. Soon the brightness fades and twilight veils the earth and sky in her soft and tender coloring. The little blacks have gone over the ground no bly, and as thev sro trail y and swiftly through the big sate, past the cottages, by the white house up to the long gal lery or the hotel we are compelled to acknowledge they have won the race. Our tongues are still and silent as we sorrowfully realize we have taken our last drive. And now thanking my kind hosts, Mr. .foston and Col. Williams, for the great pleasure I have had under their hospitable roof and more especially un der their grand old trees, and thanking you, Mr. .Editor, for giving me so much room in your columns to say my say, l bid you adieu. Veni Vhi. 'LEGENDS." The Work ol the New First Auditor of the Treasury in Washington. The new First Auditor of the Treas urer is cleaning the slate in the office of the legends that have grown into law. A correspondent of the Boston Herald gives this recital of his work: "The present Auditor has had a long ana severe wrestle with what he calls 'the legends' of his public service. Cer tain usages drawn into precedent be came 'legends.' Often they are with out warrant of law. The first that Au ditor Reynolds met, when he came in to office a year and a half ago, was that tne salaries or united states Judges ana otner oign omciais oegan when they were nominated by the President, or, at least when they were confirmed by the Senate. . He refused to approve the account of one of the Judges on the oencn or tne supreme uourt oi the Dis trict of Columbia for salary from the date of his confirmation. The Auditor insisted that it should commence from the day he. took the oath of office, and cited the law, which explicitly provides mat cms snail oe the method or proce dure. The precedent loving Treasury officers stood aghast at this manifesta tion of an innovating spirit They cit ed precedents by the bushel. Chief J ustice Salmon F. Chasadrew his salary from the day he was nominated, and so on through a longlist of lesser lights. it was ail or no avails , The ;jaw said from the day of taking this bath. The Judge himself, after looking at the law, proHounceu tueauauor rignc, ana tne 'legend' faded away. The law says that the contingent fund of the Treas ury shall be disbursed upon the order of the the Secretary of the Treasury, and the certificate of the clerk, and the articles purchased are necessary, and that the prices paid are reasonable. A 'legend' said the order and certificate of a custodian' shall be sufficient. The First Auditor refused to approve such illegal accounts, and brought about the recent investigation. The 'legend' and the 'custodian' were abolished altogeth er as a result thereof. There are cer tain extraordinary allowances which can only be made by the President. The Sfkpreme Court has decided that in such matters a Cabinet officer can also Act for-the President A 'legend' at onoe sprung up to the effect that an acting Cabinet officer can also act for the President A few days since such an account came before the Auditor. The allowance had been made by an acting Secretary. He refused his ap proval. Exit 'legend' No. 3. If he stays there long enough, all the 'legends' will recede into the misty past" e Mr. L. X.
