ANDERSON C. H., S. C. THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 11,1872. Reduction in 3?i*ice ! Trie-proprietors of the-Anderson TnteUigencer, gra teful to the public for past favors, have con? cluded to reduce the price of subscription to Two Dollars a Year, invariably in ad? vance, to take effect from and after this date. Wo mean.to do a strictly cash, business in the inaiter of subscriptions, and our friends will confer a favor in hot asking credit, as we will ba compelled to refuse it. The paper will be discontinued* at the-expiration of the time paid for in every instance, as we cannot afford to send the paper without the money. Andersony. Juty, 4?A, 1872. U@* Announcements of candidates for office must be accompanied by the cash to receive any attention*. This rale is imperative, and we \ cannot deviate from it to accommodate any . We are requested to publish that the colored people will give a fishing party at Lee Shoals on Saturday, the 20th inst. Managers ?Lawson Price, Denis Jackson and Thos. Walker. All persons irrespective of race or col? or, are invited. Anderson High School. An exhibition of this School, in charge of | W. J. Ligon, will take place on Thursday and Friday nights, the 18th and 19th inst. The pa? trons and friends of the school are respectfully invited to attend. Exercises to commence at prtcisely 8 o'clock P. M. each night. The 4th. In accordance with announcement, the birth day of American liberty was duly honored here by the colored people with a Sunday School celebration. From an early hour they com? menced to pour in from all points of the com? pass until noon, when it would be safe to say that there were not less than twenty-five hun dred in and around the town. The streets were soon made musical by fife and drum, and in due time the respective Sunday Schools of town and country were marshalled by Berry Williams, and in one long array marched through (he principal streets, thence to the wooded lot near the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Depot, where a stand had been erect? ed for the outpourings of the occasion. After prayer by Rev. Frank Morris, the Declaration of Independence was read by J. E. Breazeale, Esq., following which were speeches by Maj. Moore, Judge Murray, Rev. Frank Morris and Col. Hill. Some of the speeches were semi-political, but very good of the sort. The speech of Rev. Frank Morris was well suited to the occasion, and doubtless made a good impression. We were not so fortunate as to hear the speech of the last named gentleman, Col. Hill; but have heard it highly complimented by the colored people as being humorous and well chipped for the occasion. The respective Sab? bath Schools had pretty and suitably inscribed banners. The singing was excellent, and was conducted by Mr. J. H. Clarke, an honored and worthy advocate of the Sunday School cause. After the speaking the feast was spread, and hundreds made to rejoice over the benefits of the hour. Our. colored friends showed much deference and respect to the whites, by inviting them to partake first of their bounty, which they did by satiating their appetites on savory meats, such as beef, mut? ton, pork and fowl. Diuner over, the Sunday Schools re-assembled and marched to their respective places. Late in the afternoon^ Berry Williams, colored, spoke to a crowd from the Court House, advising his colored friends to vote for honest men in the coming election. His speech was highly complimentary to our distinguished townsman, Judge Orr. We un? derstand the celebration was concluded with a dance. The order during the day was as good as could be expected for so large a crowd. The 6th, Was a day replete with political showers, as will be seen by published proceedings and comments thereon. The great ratification meet? ing came off pursuant to announcement. Judge Orr, in his able style, advocated the election of Grant and Wilson, and made as good a speech as could be made on that side of the question. His speech was happy when he alluded to the necessity for reform in the State Government, and superlatively so, when he announced that all of the thieves in the Re? publican ranks would be turned over to Gree ley and Brown. If this prove true, the Libe? ral Republicans, with so great accessions to their ranks, will carry the State by considera? ble majority. The Judge is a political prophet, but we fear it will be difficult to drive so many from the party. The other speakers were ear nest advocates of Grant and Wilson, and worked admirably in the Republican party for the length of time in the harness. The'meet isg was pretty full and attentive, and occa sioually cheered some witticism thrown in to fill up for want of solid argument. This was the first political shower, followed by another late in the afternoon in the interest of the Liberal Republicans. Many persons having departed for their homes, this meeting was not very large, but quite respectable. It was addressed by Col. J. P. Reed and J. C. C. Featherston. Col. Reed made an appropriate and telling speech, so much so that we are in? formed that it led to another meeting at night, called by the opposition party. This meeting, we understand, was addressed by J. R. Coch ran, Esq., and Sam'l. Johnson on the one side, and Col. Reed on the other. The political campaign ha3 fairly opened, and will doubtless become more exciting and interesting as it progresses; but we advise on all hands?moderation. It is more important that truth and right should triumph than that per? sonal or party aspiration should be gratified. P. S.?In writing the above on the 6th, we supposed we would be furnished with the pro? ceedings of the ratification meeting on that day, as the meeting ordered their publication in this paper, but the Secretary has failed to furnish us with the proceedings. The speakers of the occasion, besides J udge Orr, were Col. W. D. Wilkes, Judge J. S. Murray and Mr. Murdoch. ? The Republican party will call a State Convention tor the 21st of August next. A Card. It is stated by "Picket," the special corres? pondent of the Charleston News, in an article dated Anderson C. H., Jaly 3rd, that Ex-Gov. Orr mentioned my name as being in accord with the Grant and "Wilson movement. I have nev?r so informed Gov. Orr, or any other per? son. I did express the opinion, some weeks ago, that if we could reconcile it to our princi? ples and feelings to vote for Grant and Wilson, that it might be conciliatory policy. There is no sane man in this State who does not admit that the electoral vote of the State will be cast for Grant and Wilson ; but it seems to me that for Democrats or Liberal Republicans to vote for Grant merely to swell his triumph in the State, is a pill too nauseating to swallow, un? less in hope of political health. But I enter? tain no such hope by the means proposed, for to declare in favor of Grant and Wilson does not necessarily bring State refcrm and retrench? ment. All of the aspirants for the important State offices tire for the Philadelphia nomi? nees, and State reform depends upon which cf | these will triumph. I am forced to choose be? tween Greeley and Grant, and I take the for? mer. I will be forced to vote for Republicans for State offices, and will select the best men, assuming as I do, that there will not be any Reform or Democratic State ticket. I believe in Republicanism, but it is- republicanism as taught by the Jefferson school, which now means Democracy. To those entertaining dif? ferent political opinions, I cherish no unkind or illiberal feeling. If we can only have an honest administration of the Government un? der the name of National or modern Republi? canism, then much of the political asperity now existing will be softened, and confidence in republican institutions restored. J. C. C. FEATHERSTON. The Storm, Rain, Hail and Crops. On Tuesday evening last, the 2nd inst, a se? vere rain and hail storm passed over this Coun? ty. In the Belton section of country it was heavier than any place we have heard from, where it did considerable damage to the crops. The dweling house of Mr. John Tyner, living near Belton, was unroofed; so also his smoke? house and corn-crib, but fortunately no one hurt. Within the last four or five days, rains have fallen almost daily, and the ground is now thoroughly saturated with water. From all portions of the county there are cheering ac? counts from the crops. It was our pleasure to visit a portion of the Eastern part of the coun? ty the latter part of last week. The crops of | corn and cotton on the road we traveled, looked remarkably well, and promise an abundant yield. At the request of our friend T. W. M-, we traversed a portion of his farm, and bad the pleasure of seeing the best crop of j cotton that we had seen this season. With the crop, we were shown a nine acre-field of the best cotton we ever saw in the county, at the same season of the year. It required no criti? cal observation to convince us that Mr. M is a good and successful farmer. Farther down, on Hen Coop Creek, our old friend, Matthew W-, showed us his corn crop, which was a most cheering and refreshing sight, and convinced us that there will bo bread in the land and to spare. "M," the Anderson correspondent of the Columbia Union, writes that he has just f reached this place, and likes it very much. He complains that in other village he has visited in the up-country, mentioning New berry and Abbeville, he found that a Northern man "was treated with contempt," to use his own language. Among the items of news con? tained in the letter, is one that a gentleman from Vermont, who has made a tour through Georgia, reaching Anderson by way of Atlanta and Athens, is negotiating for a fine water power at the junction of Seneca and Tugalo Rivers, in Anderson County. The correspon? dent says he had not seen Judge Orr since 1856; he looked him up, and found him "hold of the plow-handles." In referring to Church services, "M" says "occasionally a political prayer goes up." He also says that "A. T. Broyles, a prominent lawyer of the town, has just married." He closes with the information "that ho has found ona County in South Care Una where there is complete toleration and no proscription on account of political opinion. It is truly refreshing, and the County is more flourishing than any other in the State." These are agreeable items. We will gladly welcome Vermonters, or any other persons, who will build factories or otherwise aid in the material advancement of our County. We are also gratified to know that our representa? tive man, Judge Orr, is not ashamed of the plow-handles. May our kid-glove gentry and pale-faced, picture-spoiling men learn a lesson. The most gratifying item, however, is that our bachelors are getting married, for all the early historians agree that the institution of mar? riage is the harbinger of civilization. A Deserved Compumeot.?The Brethren of Hiram Lodge, No. 68, A.*. F.\ M/., at An? derson C. H., on the evening of the 24th nit, ?St. John's Day?presented R. W. Bro. Jas. A. Hoyt, the able Editor of the Anderson In? telligencer, with a beautiful Past Master's Jew? el, as a token of respect for him as a man and mason. We have known Bro. Hoyt longer than any member of Hiram Lodge, and pre? sume to add our testimony to his high moral worth, and undeviatiug integrity of character. A worthier recipient of such a compliment could not have been found, and it gives us much joy to know that his lot is cast among a people who can appreciate his virtues. Long may that mutual good feeling exist between them.? Union Times. Literary.?Mrs. F. G. de Fontalno, has written a l>ook for mothors and children, that promises to become ono of the most popular educational works of the day. It is appropri? ately entitled "Wisdom Teeth for Little Peoplk," and embodies in the form of ques? tion and answer, just that kind of information with which little folks should bo supplied. It is not an easy matter to present loarning in su? gar-coated doses, but the authoress has most happily overcome this difllculty by preparing her volume iu a shape so attractive that, like Oliver Twist, the children will call for "More !" Parents and primary school teachers will do well to give the book an examination. Pub? lished by E. J. Halo & Son, New York, and sold at all bookstores. ? Ex-Gov. Jenkins, of G*., declines nomi? nation to office. Editorial Correspondence. Allatol \, Ga., July 5,1872. When an editor gets away from the monoto? nous duties of the sanctum, he is unlike any other human being upon earth who seeks re? creation, for his readers are sure to expect that he will jot down for their benefit any and all items of interest observed on his travels, which is similar to the labor performed at home, and consequently rather tedious business. But there is one consolation after all. If readers will be so exacting, the editor can use the boring process to his own satisfaction, and take his revenge by writing ad infinitum. His cor? respondence is never rejected by the editor pro tern,, who may perchance be longing for some? thing to satisfy the insatiate demand for "copy," and with a grim smile at the "devil," takes pleasure in thrusting the hasty scrawl of the absent chief into the face of that much-abused individual. With this brief prelude, we will proceed to tell our readers what we know about traveling in the mountain region of South Carolina aud Georgia, so far as our recent trip from Anderson to this point has enlightened our vision. Our neighboring town of Walhalla was the first stopping place after leaving home on the 27th ult. Here we spent a day or two with kind friends, and enjoyed the pleasure of meet? ing with many others. The commencement of the Newberry College was just over, and the town had been quite lively for several days.? The annual ball took place on the night of our arrival, but we did not attend. The next morn? ing an address on Temperance was delivered in the Court House by Bev. W. S. Bowman, of Charleston, to a small audience of ladies and gentlemen, under the auspices of the Sons of Temperance, recently organized in Walhalla. It was more of a sermon than a lecture, as ex? plained by the speaker, as it was a Biblical de? fence of the cause, and started out with a re? ference to the first temperance society in the world, which was organized by the good and wise Jonadab, and known as the Bechabites? a full account of which may bo found in the 35th chapter of Jeremiah. Mr. Bowman's ef? fort was logical and scriptural, and was well received. The cause of temperance is flourish? ing in Walhalla, we were informed, and this address was calculated to strengthen and sup? port its adherents. Walhalla possesses many attractions to the pleasure-seeker. The splcnded scenery and delightfully cool nights form a portion of the attraction, while a drive on good roads behind one of Thompson's fist teams is exhilerating and refreshing. The town is constantly grow? ing, and although wo noticed fewer buildings in process of erection than was the case last year, the evidences of improvement and pros? perity are not wanting. Leaving Walhalla in the afternoon, we drove to Jarrctt's Bridge, and spent a pleasant night at the house of Mr. C. K. Jarreti, who lives on the Georgia side of the Tugalo river, and whose hospitality is proverbial with the traveling pub? lic. Bright and early the next morning, after partaking of a sumptuous breakfast, we started for Teccoa Falls, eight miles distant over rough and ragged roads. We reached the Falls abont eleven o'clock, and spent several hours at the basin below the cataract. Although the vol? ume of water is insignificant, the singular beauty of Teccoa excites the admiration of the beholder, who never t?rcs in watching the pure and limpid stream dashing down the rocky sides of the mountain chasm, splashing in every direction as it falls upon the roclrs beneath, and reaches the basin, where the quiet stream again flows on in placid murmurings, unmindful of the fearful leap from yonder giddy height. The altitude of Teccoa Falls is even greater than Niagara, the latter being 163 feet at the highest point, while the former is 180 feet. The inac? cessibility of this curious freak of nature has rendered it comparatively unknown to the try^ cling world, but this will be changed hcrcaftJff as the Air Line Railroad will pass within ^?hr i miles of the Falls, and is now completed otM point not more than ten miles distant. When travel is diverted to this Boad, and persons learn that such a curiosity is within easy reach, we predict that thousands will annually gaze upon the beauties of Teccoa, and the large majority likewise will be tempted to extend their visit to the celebrated Tallulah Fall, (ten or twelve miles from Teccoa,) whose grandeur and mag? nificence can ordy be excelled by the world famous Niagara. By the way, we intended going to Tallulah:, for the benefit of our party, but circumstances prevented. It has been our privilege, however, to visit these Falls years, ago, and we know whereof we write. Leavi ng the basin of Teccoa, our party as? cended the mountain, and stopped for a short time until a portion of them visited the top of the Falls, only a hundred yards from the main road. Here the view is grand, and the fearful chasm is seen from a dizzy standpoint, ?s one can easily plant his foot upon the firmest foun-) dation at the very edge of the precipice, and look into the basin beneath. The afternoon was leisurely occupied in dri? ving ten or twelve miles to Clarksville, the county site of Habersham county, a small vil? lage of four or five hundred inhabitants. Has the reader ever re-visited a town after an ab? sence of twenty-one years? What changes take place in that length of time, and with what difficulty are old landmarks recognized 1 In our early boyhood, we spent several years in Clarksville, and knew every foot of ground within its limits. After so long a period, it may be well imagined that we felt strange that afternoon on driving up to the Hotel and scan? ning the faces of a considerable group of ladies and gentlemen upon the piazza. But we had scarcely landed, until three or four old school? mates came eagerly forward to grasp us by the hand?not that time had failed to bring changes in our appearance, but we had met some of them in more recent years, and hence we were more easily recognized. It is useless to re? hearse our personal reminiscences of Clarks? ville, which were revived by the recent visit, nor is it necessary to tell of the long talks with friends of our boyhood?those days when the birch and the ferule were especially obnoxious to our young imagination. These thing arc interesting to us, but we take pity upon the un? fortunate reader, who has no part or parcel in them, and will desist. Twenty-five years ago Clarksville was re? nowned as a summer resort for wealthy persons from the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. Many of them built elegant residences near the town, and the hotels were crowded with-visitors. Health and pleasure were alike found in this vicinity, as the delightful, bracing atmosphere is unexcelled in America, and the water is pure and cold, while the scenery is unsurpassed.? Pleasure-seekers visited the Falls, the Naucoo chee Valley, Yonah Mountain, and other in? teresting points. Invalids not only obtained the benefit of pure water and balmy air, but there was no lack of attractive spots to entice their thoughts away from bodily infirmities, and various kinds of mineral water flowed from adjacent springs. But, after a few yeare of success and prosperity as a summer retreat, Clarksville lost her prestige, probably from want of energy and enterprise among the resi? dents, but certainly in some measure from the lack of transportation by a quick and easy method. In other words, a railroad was badly needed, and it was never built. As before re? marked, the Air Line Bailroad passes through this region, and will come within six miles of Clarksville. It has been completed to the Stone Pile, nine miles from the town, and al? ready the evidences of recuperation are appa? rent. Stores and residences are being repaired, and new persons are seeking homes in this pleasant village. The largest Hotel has been recently occupied by Mr. M. B. O'Callaghan, of Charleston, and visitors from below are seeking accommodations at his hands, where they will find a cheerful, cordial welcome, good fare, and kind treatment generally. All these things combine to render this ancient village a prominent point, and we shall look forward with interest to the coming prosperity of our boyhood's home. Its natural attractions only want to be supplemented by the go-aheaditive ness of this rapid age, and now that railroad facilities are at the very door of its inhabitants, we shall expect ^hem to utilize the advantages lavished by Nature's hand, and build up and improve the town. Added to the advantages named already, we would mention that the mineral wealth of this neighborhood is not in? ferior to the most attractive portions of the globe, in our opinion, and is now totally unde? veloped, lying imbedded in the hills, like a miser's accumulations, untouched; but, unlike the miser's gold, it is accessible to the thrifty and energetic. The people are beginning to realize" the fact that other minerals besides gold are worth seeking, and that other sources of wealth are within their grasp. We procured specimens for the benefit of " A. C. L.," who will doubtless confirm our judgment. But we must take leave of Clarksville, and hasten to record our experience further on the journey. On Tuesday morning, our party took an early start for Gainesville, thinking it possible that we might obtain passage upon an extra train near the head of the Air Line Railroad. The track is laid twenty-two miles east of Gainesville, but the passenger trains have not yet been put upon that part of the road, as the hands are now engaged in levelling the track. In about two weeks the trains will run regular? ly to the head of the Road, which is about thirty-five miles from Walhalla. After dining fifteen or sixteen miles from Clarksville, we met the construction train, but were informed that it did not return to Gainesville until near dark, and that the only accommodations for passengers was upon an open flat car, which we decided was impracticable, especially as the clouds threatened rain. So we remained in the hack, and pushed on towards Gainesville, which point was reached about sundown. We took Sulphur Springs in our route, and went down to the spring itself. It is strongly im? pregnated with sulphur, and is said to be equal to the famous Virginia Springs. New houses have been erected, and ample accommodations provided for any number of guests. Ten-pin alleys, billiard saloons and other amusements are connected with the Hotel. The Sulphur Spring is six miles east of Gainesville, and a depot wiA'i oe w?.Vnn a snort"distance, jpir^ miles from Gainesville we stopped at ffne Limestone Spring, which reminded us of similar places in Virginia and Maryland. This property has been recently purchased by a ^mpany of capitalists, and extensive improve? ments are goii\g on. Jt is a beautiful location, and is destined to become a popular resort. Gainesville contains about two thousand in? habitants, and is a thriving, beautiful town. The depot is located three-quarters of a mile from the public square, and the principal im provements for the last year or two are in the neighborhood of the railroad. Business has been very good, but we are disposed to think that the completion of the railroad to other points will make this a "finished" place, as it is too near Atlanta to gain much importance as an inland town. We stopped at the Tram? mel House, near the railroad, and received good treatment from the hospitable landlord. At six o'clock on Wednesday morning, we took the cars for Atlanta, and passed through a magnificent scope of country. The crops looked fine, and there wa3 abundant evidence that the farmers believed in raising corn. Only now and then a cotton field was visible. The depots between Gainesville and Atlanta are surrounded by new buildings on every hand, and in one or two instances there are prosperous villages already settled. The Air Line Rail? road is splendidly constructed, riding smooth and easy. The conductor, Mr. W. G. Hcrndon, is polite and attentive, and kindly furnished us with desirable information. We reached Atlanta on schedule time, ma? king fifty-two miles in four hours. Our sojourn in Georgia'3 greatest city was very brief, but we found an opportunity of calling upon several friends, aud by one of them was introduced to Col. I. W. Avery, editor of the Atlanta Consti? tution, who is a pleasaut, agreeable gentleman. As wo expect to return by the way of Atlanta, we will reserve further comments until another time. Taking the lightning express train on the Western & Atlantic Railroad at 5 o'clock, we were safely landed at this depot in two hours. Allatoona is forty miles northwest of Atlanta, in the heart of a rich farming section, with the purest atmosphere and most romantic scenery. Of this, however, more anon. _ J. A. H. ?

The University of the South. Sewanee, Tenn., June 26,1872. Mr. Editor: Time has rapidly flown since I was last permitted to address your columns, yet I trust some additional remarks about Sewanee will not prove uninteresting to the worthy readers of the Intelligencer. This time I pro? pose to speak of Sewanee locally, and give a description of the internal affairs of our "upper world." Yes, Sewanee is a unique little world to itself. We seldom have any communication wfth the "lower world," save a prospective per? spective from some of the Views; and thus we spend a peaceful, monotonous life, free from the busy turmoil of the city, and yet, in semi rustic life, enjoy the most desirable features of the metropolis. The University of the South is a church school, under the authority of the Southern Episcopal Dioceses; and naturally, the most prominent object of the mountain is the Church. Our Chapel?without, an edifice of humble ap? pearance ; within, a marvel of beauty and ar? rangement?is that around which centres the life and action of the University. Its daily morning and evening services are made attrac? tive and impressive, while religion is exhibited as a living reality, and not a mere sentiment. Here, Mr. Editor, please allow me to state for the benefit of your Episcopal readers, that the reports which have been disseminated con? cerning the extreme form of Ritualism in vogue here are groundless. True, we have a surpliced choir and chant very much of the church ser? vice; but when it is remembered that our chaplain is Rev. W. P. DuBose, late of Abbe? ville, S. C, and whose conservative views are so well known and reciprocated by many churchmen in your State, there will remain a faint cause for clamor against Ritualism. Passing from the central to the private edi? fices of Sewanee, we find the latter of hand? some and tasteful architecture?usually of the Swiss-cottage style?and around many, a flower-yard or clover-plot lends additional beauty. The University buildings are gener? ally of unprepossessing aspect. Those already erected are of temporary design?none of the permanent colleges being yet in process of con? struction. I have already mentioned the area bf Se? wanee. Out of its ten thousand acres, one hundred are held in reserve as the city limits, and this is protected by a corporation. A Mar? shal with five deputies and a Recorder are in charge of the civil jurisdiction, and are all sufficient to preserve order aud quiet We have no guard-house, but a squad of cadets is enough to bear the offender in custody until the law disposes of his offense. J Apropos of the guard-house, I may mention that Sewanee has a cadet corps. Like Rugby, in England, the students have obtained per? mission to organize a military department; j and now we have a full battalion, officered by the students, and with the Proctor of the Uni | versity as Commandant. The corps is com? posed of students both from the University Department and Grammar School?member? ship being optional with the former, and with the latter compulsory. The discipline of the University is original in design and excellent in practice. The stu? dents are domiciled in dormitories?over which a Junior Proctor, who is entirely responsible for the good order and care of the hall, pre? sides. Of the latter there are about twelve? I all chosen from among the students?and, with I the Senior Proctor, upon whom the highest re ' sponsibility of the University depends. The I discipline of the students is not a difficult j duty, inasmuch as they are removed from temp ! tations that present themselves in multiform shapes at colleges less favored by location. As regards the ability of the administrative heads of the University, one has only to exam? ine our calendar aud be convinced. Scholars from the Old as well as the New World stand upon the roll of the Faculty, and which bears testimony that tho University of the South is determined to make itself an Institution wor? thy in every respect of Southern sympathy and patronage. In a few weeks the present term will close. Time has rapidly sped since March 16th, and in retrospecting the intervening months, the only event that has ruffled the serenity of the mountain was the appearance of the locusts? whether of the three, four or seventeen year Renus I am not prepared to state. Their in? cessant diu for the space of forty days made the entire locust tribe a host of enemies among the students. But now they are gone, and by their short-lived existence have told us a story more suggestive than the writings of the sage. The Board of Trustees meets on July 9th, and as it is during Examination week, the students are much exercised at the thought of of passing the ordeal before bo august and grave an assemblage. The Board is composed of one Bishop, two Clergymen and three Lay? men from each Southern Diocese, and meets annually in July. The summer vacation, which immediately follows the examinations, although never more than ten days in length, it is a gala season here. There is a grand ball given annually by the students, and at which a brilliant array of Southern beauty and talent is invariably present. Sewanee is eminently adapted to win for it? self fast friends, and nearly or quite all who leave after their summer sojourn carry home with them some happy reminiscence of their visit to be fondly treasured in memory's casket.

New York, July 6, 1872. For a week the heat has been positively aw? ful. There is no adjective indeed, superlative? ly descriptive enough to set forth the situation. Of sun strokes there have been 100 a day. The rays seem to come straight down like barbed arrows. The air is hot and dry, and the mar? ble walls between which we have to walk only serve to collect and refract the intensified tem? perature. The rage for business is gone, and men are content to sit in their shirt sleeves and pant and fan. Lager beer, ginger pop and soda water have become the beverages of the hour, and you cannot find a place in the city where these refreshments are sold that is not thronged. Cars and steamers are carrying everybody out of town who can get away, and the Stay-at home clubs resort for a change to the parks and excursions on ferry boats. The churches consequently make a poor Sunday show. The fashionable preachers are engaged in fishing for souls at the sea-side, and their flocks ore going to country churches in Paris made clothes, as a compromise with their consciences. Life here is full of sad incidents. I heard one related the other day. A young girl re? turning from Europe, two or three years ago, met among her compagnons du voyage, a hand? some fellow of thirty, was fascinated, and in spite of the protestations of her family, married him. She was worth eighty or a hundred thousand dollars in her own name, and a por? tion of the property consisted of bonds, jewel? ry and plate. In a few months the husband obtained possession of a greater part of it. He then compelled her to live in cheap boarding houses, and to receive the attentions of men of his own ilk, and subjected her to the most petty cruelties. Eventually she became a mother. His persecutions now commenced in earnest. He seemed to hate her. He treated her like a brute, beat, and cursed her during illness, re? fused the ordinary comforts of life, and finally believing that he had secured the last dollar she owned, abandoned her. One day a lady called to see the poor woman, and in the conversation that followed, it turned out that the visitor bad likewise been married, robbed and abandoned in the same manner by the same villain. The revelation so affected the mind of the young mother that she became almost a maniac. Her family then for the first time learned of the cruelty which she had en? dured. They carried her to Europe again for a change of scene and air, and she remained for several months. She returned with her child not long ago. When about to land from the steamer, she was accosted by a gentleman who said he was a friend of her brother, and had been sent by him to escort her in his carriage to his house. Taking the arm of the stranger the lady accompanied him to the vehicle, but there to her amazement and consternation sat her husband. Faint with fear, she turned to escape. The fiend sprang from the carriage and was about to lay his hand on her when a well directed blow knocked him down, and the lady in a moment afterwards was folded in the embrace of her brother. It appears that the villain had intercepted dispatches and letters between his wife and her family, and arranged under her brother's name to meet her on the arrival of the steamer, and but for a happy accident that carried her broth? er to the dock, she and her little one would probably have been abducted by the infamous husband. The fellow was allowed to escape, because he had committed no overt act, but measures were taken at once to secure a divorce, and the poor woman has finally been freed from his persecu? tions. It has since transpired that the villain has three or four wives, from all of whom he obtained money, in the same manner and then deserted them. He has been traced to Europe, and it is believed will be caught and proved to be one of the most adroit bigamists of the age. The trial of Stokes now in progress adduces no new facts. No one believes, however, that if fouad guilty, he will be hung. The general supposition is that the jury will disagree.? They liave been permitted to separate, and a hundred or two thousand dollars may possibly have some influence in determining the ver? dict. New York is destined to catch the drippings of the Boston iubilee. "We may not have the colosseum or the chorus, but the crack bands have been captured and will perform here be? fore their departure for Europe. The Prussian band plays at Jones' Wood in a few days, and the Grenadiers will follow. Strauss will proba? bly remain through the summer. Policemen are killing dogs right and left. In Hoboken, last week, a poor German having drank too much lager, was taking a nap on the curb stone. An ordinary black and tan dog slept or rather watched by his side. One of the knights of the star and baton attempted to arouse the man for the purpose of taking him to the station house, when the little fellow showed fight in his master's defence. The po? liceman thereupon drew his revolver and shot the animal several times. He did not die in? stantly, but with an expression almost human, crept up to his now half awakened friend and owner, laid his little head upon, and fcissed the drunken face, and with a long, pitiful, almost human look, breathed his last. The incident was witnessed by a dozen persons to whom that dead dog has been made more precious than a brigade of brutal policemen. The Aldine makes its usual artistic appear? ance this month. No periodical iu New York is watched by the public with more interest, or treasured in the household so long. Its illus? trations constitute a superb picture gallery. HYMENEAL.
