The press part,y left, for the Cuba trip on 'e'csday night of last week, on sehedule till, via Southern and P'lant Systems to Jacksonville', and thence by the Ilorhat .ast, Coast.. 'The party wits small, but i have no doubt it, will be both pleastnt and prolitable to those Who wont. I found that, it. won li he Impossible for me to go, but, having all the transportation Inl hand, I had to ac Company the part.y as far as .Jackson ville, and aft.' gohig that fi' we dei ded to go on to St. A llg usti tie and spend the day there instead of at. .lackson Ville.

St. Augustine is a qtuaint old city, and is now only at witier resort for Northern toturist s, bu t amost delig ht ful anti charm ing pla t it, is. The mo14t, miagnifivent, hotels I lud tver' seen, atnd t,h groundis and vourlts Ire Simply beautiful. The Ponce d I,Con and the Aleaz.ar are t.he t.w( priniipl hotils. They say down at, 'alleI iench the Ito tels and the phace i ent'rally is miuchl more lealtiful ti t at St. .\1ignot.ine. We went. through the t wo htls mien t,ioned above. '' I'onwe h as at Iovel y plarlort and ant elugant dining roomn. IBut the fittings ate too line for t.he or dinary individlual. At. the parlor eni trance a lady sits all the time, and you are nec permitted to enter even with a smtall wiking cnne in your hand. In addition to t.he hot,el-i St. Augu lstine is tnterest.in;; on arcount of t.he obl] fort, aid t.h oldest house int lii, t'nited States is theie, and the eiitest- cattie drial. Somte other of 11b , ohd Spanish houses still remaini. .\ltogether w,J spient the day very 1eu-aitly, and I t) not wondler thatt so matny Northern people go to Florida for the winter. But from Sayatnnt to St.. Augustine there is nothing along the railroad to induce one to desire to move to Pl''hida. 1 asked an old gentleman in St. Augus Iino what they did to make a living ti)win in that part, of 1loridia. H-it said they lived ollf the yankees in the winter and Iish and homitty in the sutmmer. Iit I did not start, out to 1or the read er with my meandering;s.
