lHen3tHa os Cities.

1t was once the general opinion that the
Southern cities were as unsafe for summer
residence as those beyond the tropics, and
that 10 one rot acclima,cd could with any
safety reside there. Whether, from some
change Of atmospheric influence or peculiar
municipal attention, ii is admitted that no
three cites north oi The Potomac have been
as healthy this summer N; Charleston Savan-
nah and New Orleans; the latter would have
been unusually sickly this season, fthc au ho-
rites had not covered the cvcrowcd ground
with thick coats of lime, and thus dried up the
earth before the suns rays could have opera
ted on its humidity. The sanatory regulations
! OF Charleston and Savannah, and the strict at
tcnt!on TO cleanliness have been productive
of the best results and those flying from the
| found safe retreat in Charleston or the up
country during the summer where not sim
gle case of cholera has been known and hard
ly any other disease Of the season been heard
OF. These changes arc of themselves singu-
lar but still arc easily accounted for. New
York, by its proximity to the sea and its vast
amount Of tonnage, will always be the favor
tic port for the landing of cmigranls and, Of
late, ships OF 1900 and 1000 tons have been
built for the accommodations Of such class Of
passengers, some of whom purchase ticket
for ten or fifteen dollars All the paupcrs Of
Europe will land OH the wharvcs of that city
and all these cmigran.s of letter class seek
ing their fortunes in the New World will
sail for New York and dvergc with comfort
and convenience 10 any part OF the interior
of the Union. The number Of the poores,
