7 SOUTHERN STANDARD---MCMINNVILLE. TENNESSEE. A 1UK1) AN AUGUST 1890 . ON BEN LOMOND'S CREST. Some enthusiastic correspondent, writing in last Suuday'a Nashvillo American, pay9 a well deserved trib ute to Ben Lomoud, as follows : McMinnville, Aug. 15. Ben Lo mond rears his stately head 1,000 feet above the beautiful old town of Mc Minnville. The drive up the moun tain is quite easy and pleasant. The greater, part is through thick wood lands, therefore the glorious view, -een from the top, bursts upon us with tenfold pleasure, having caught no glimpso of it by the wayside. Stretching for many a mile are love ly valleys bordering on Barren Fork and Collins river. Away up, as far as eye can sec, are these shining wa ters; aiid off in the distance, the mountain chain standing like grim sentinels to guard the peaceful val leys. The atmosphere is so pure it seems to, invigorate each heartbeat, and ' the whole being is moved by mysterious agencies to noble aspira tions and holy feeling. Ben Lomond lias been purchased by a company of wide-awake gentle men of McMinnvillc, who propose building a hotel and cottages and fully developing its resources for a delightful summer home. There are already two comfortable h:mes up there, with wide-open, hospitable doors, where many visitors and friends have been royally entertained. Dr. J. B. Ititchey's home deserves especial mention. It is a beautiful cottage of ten rooms, where to enter is to feel at home. This cottage is situated just at the top of Ben Lo mond, where the sun throws light on its white walls which give itasilvery appearance, giving rise to its musi cal name, "Silver Top." The water is clear, cold freestone There are many places ot interest on the mountain. The lone rock and the narrows attract many visitors who express both pleasure and satis faction by drives or walks to eKher place. The views from the lone rock of the farm lands, of McMinnville, Nicholson Springs and other point3 are very tine. A beautiful drive of two miles brings you to the narrows. There the mountain comes to a point, and we see Beersheba and other moun tains much nearer than any other place. We returned to Silver Top just as the suu was saying good night, while the whole valley was lit up by beams of golden, purple and rosy hues, causing all to exclaim that not even Italy's: skies nor views on the Ithine could be fairer than those of our native land. At dawn the fleecy clouds render the scene almost heavenly, for the lloating appearance of these misty beauties seem like angelic hosts, hov nring o'er and keeping watch of loved ones on earth. Near this peacefu scene a memory comes to us of happy days spent at "Forest Home," with the gifted and loved, Mrs. L. Vir ginia French. Bnt now Every wave of the forest leaf Seems to breathe a si'h of grief For her, the idol of the old home nest, Who dwells with God in blessed rest. In parting, Ben Lomond, ere I siy good bye, Let me picture tliv lieauticH for IIIH AMEKl CAN eye, Lii the words cf Alabama's grand old son, For sweeter words there lire none : "Xo lovelier land the prophet viewed When on the sacred mount he Ntood, And saw below transcendent shine The hills and groves of Palestine !" For Your Stomach's Sake. "Take n little wine for your stomach's sake," is a celebrated piece of advice. ''Tak a little t'e-ru-na for your stomach's sike," is a saying that bids fair to become enually famous. The stomach is at once a most delicate and a most abused organ and, between its delicacy and its abuse, it is no wonder that it is constantly giving its owner trouble. There is no medicine that will help the stomach so promptly aud so effectively as Pe ru-na. It actions is very simple, and it leaves no bad effects whatever. Especially in summer time is it a valuable remedy to have at hand. For hot weather easily affects the stomach, and any little imprudence in eating or disorder of the system deranges it. Then it is that IVru-ua will show itself to le just what is claimed to be a general Tonic and a corrector of Stomach Troubles. Try it.

It was under a plank of. the great barn floor, a place just large enough to hold tho three bushels of hazel nuts to'hich Ray had picked and care fully hoarded there and this was the bank. "If folks save only a little every year, they'll nave money to spend when they are old, papa says. So Ml not eat all of my nuts right up, but keep some for the next winter," said Ray, sagely.' So he and the squirrels worked to gether through the brilliant autumn weather, lie was as busy as they, and hoarded his winter store as care- ully, so that when the crimson gold eaves turned to brown his bank was full. ' - - Every day he went to peep into it until he went with mamma to visit at grandpa's. They stayed two weeks and what a long time it was to the ittle boy with a bank to look after? Grandpa's nice sweet apples and grandma's brown, twisted doughnuts didn't taste half as good as they gen erally did. Urandpa and Grandma, and all of the uncles and auntej -worried and wondered, and said no surely was sick but then they didn't know about the loose plank in the great b.irn floor, and the store of wealth under it, ani what a care it was! It was the first thing Ray thought of w hen he got home, you may be sure. And this was what he found there empty husks! As if some one had filled his bank with counterleit money while he was away. His bank had failed! "A family of chipmonks have been very busy here for a week," said pa pa. "I shouldn't wonder if they were the thieves, and I . think that their bank is under that old pine tree that I'm going to cut today." And there it was! Under the great twisted roots he found another bank, filled to the brim with the wealth of his. So lie was more successful than some officers, but he said gravely, as he sfored his nuts away in a safer place: "After all papa, I don't believe banks are a sure solid thing, do you?" Some men are as bad as chipmonks, you know. I b'lieve the best way is to try and 'joy things as you go along, and make folks happy as you can, 'stead of putting lots of money in the bank to lose, or to be quarrel ed over when you are gone."

Recently an intern has been going the rounds in regard to a boiling lake near Lassen's, Colforniu. It is not generally known, but v have in Nevada a similar boiling lake. It is situated at the eastern base of the first large mountain ranges east of the Sink of Carson. It lies on the edge of an immense desert a desert so large and scorching that in sum mer the Indians never attempt to cross it except at night, and even then they always go provided ' with a large supply of water. On three sides of the lake are rocks two or tree hundred feet high, which are perfectly bare and are burned to deep brick red. The area of the lake is about two acres. Though steam is constantly raising from the water, the whole surface of the lake does not boil. The agitation boiling is confined to the great springs which burst up in at several points. The springs force columns of water from a foot to two or three feet in diameter to a height of over twenty inches above the'general sur face of the lake, causing a loud rip pling sound and considerable local commotion. The water of the whole lake is doubtless boiling hot, though not seen to boil, for a brook flowing from it down into the sands of the desert sends up acloud of steam for a distance of several hundred yards. About a mile from the lake is a great deposit of sulphur, running through which are streaks of pure alum, from two to six inches wide. Subscribe for the Standard. $1.00.
