This Z" bill of the play'' does not state whether
the business is to be done on the cash system-but
we suppose it is At least every line of business is
now adopting that grand system which we intro
duced in 1895, and were laughed at for our pains.
Even Charles King, of the American, has come
down from his stills, and gene the whole figure

the opening of the husband the breaking up of the
icebound rivers will soon introduce to the spring
But, indeed, we viii have no spring this year. We
will leap at one bound from the frosty embrace Of
winter into the lap of summer. Now is the time,
then, when inquiries begin to Be made relative to the
most agreeable mode ofspendlng the summer months
"A number of old watering places and summer
resorts in the field, and several new candidates
for public favor putting forth their pretensions
One of the places nearest this city is New Brigh-
ton. Blancard has taken the Pavilion. The for.
proprietor of the Pavilion, Mr. Pleris has taken
Belmont Hall-we think it is cal|ed-which is
situated at the head of the landing 1t is very
modious and comfortable house, and the location is
healthy and agreeable. Mr.. Piers kept the Pavil-
lion with great Judgment and attention to his guests
and we doubt not that in his new situation he will
sustain his high character as a host. New Brighton
and Staten Island promise therefore to be very gay
this summer.
With respect to Rockaway great deal of differ
ence of opinion exists as to its salubrity 1t is sur
rounded by swamps and pools Of stagnant water; and
people are beginning to select other places on the
sea shore more favorably located, and adjacent to
dry gravelly beach. Bath is very charming place,
and 80 also is Fort Hamilton. And then again. on
the Jersey shore there Is Shrewsbury, Long
Branch, and other agreeable resorts, which present
great attractions and are very salubriOus.
West Pom, is pleasant place; but under its pre-
sent regime, is not much requened. Catskill noun
ains has had its sublime attractions so graphically
described in prose and verse, and been celebrated
all the world over that it is unnecessary to speak
here OF it's beauties. II is well kept.
Saratoga, of all other places, will be the grand
centre of those travelling in pursuit Of health and
pleasure. The greatly increased facilities and con-
sequent cheapness of travelling will bring thronging
to it, vsers from all parts Of the Union. The great
West will come by the way OF the Buffalo and Alba
ny railroad-all New England by the way of the
Great Western railroad; and all the South by the
way of New York and the North River. What
will greatly add to the interest and enjoyment at
houn men, and women too, who will come north to
lay their plans against Van Buren,. Political intrigue
will give spice to the parties-the promenading-the
firtation-the gossiping-to every thing
In Schoharie County there is pleasant and salu-
brious Sulphur Spring; but that is little out of the
way The pleasantes Sulphur spring in the north is
at Avon 1t Is most delightful spot, and the water
is rem ably eficacious in many diseases. Then
there is Niagara-al Saratoga will go there, by way
of variety, as it can be reached, including Avon
Springs, in day and half and at cost of little
more than ten or fifteen dollars.
New York will thus all summer be the centre
through which the great stream of travellers and
tourists will pass, and our streets and hotels will be-
if possible, more busting than ever
QUI VIvE The ALcIBrADEs CLUB HOUSE =
Among our law reports will be found curious case,
in which some revelations are made of the famous
Alcibiades Club House, established by Madame
Segnette.
This is the house at which it was stated last sum-
mer, by Horace Greedy, of the " Tribune" that
Captain Robert Tyler, of Washington, took petite
souper, one evening" during his visit to this city for
the organization of the Tyler party. We understand
also that another trial will come of in another court
in few days, in which some further and wonderful
developments will be made of those incidents in
fashionable life, and the birth OF the Tyler party,
which Mr. Philosopher Greedy still keeps to him.
