In making a tour of the grounds and buildings, in company with anothef visitor;, we entered -the ,4inia hall as the bugle sounded the supper call. 44 The boya " came in and took their places in a quiet and gentlemanly manner that might serve as a model for the guests, of many, of our fashionable hotels and boarding houses. Each sat in perfect silence until all were seated, when a gray-haired veteran, in simple. and appropriate language, craved the divine blessing. At its conclusion,,, the meal proceeded with perfect decorum and due regard for the amenities of social life.
