EnfTop nf The FREEMkN


ED1ToR Of the FREEMAs:-
/ have Just returned from trip--a business
trip. / never travel for pleasure-I can't af-
ford it; wish could don'tfeel in prop
er moods for writing but mast write, and,f
my letter partakes somewhat Of my frame Of
mind; why, overlook it--Pm not well. The
fact is, / have had two Uncomfortable meals.
l am very fond Of good living, at this season
| lin short, at any seasnn. But ] like 70 eat
and drink well, during the months Of July
and August, for reasons that don't have so
much weight with me, during any other month.
These months are very unhealthy, in New
York. Few persons. even those who perform
manual labor for livelihood, can boast Of
good health and good sppetites, in July and
August; and, such being the case, Iconsider
Il essential to pay proper attention 10 diet
Besides, to a traveller, food should be a
/, matter ofprimary consideration. What, when,
and how much, he eats are serious matters.
Well, I've Just stepped on shore from one of
the North River Boats, which, as you doubles
know, used to be famous for good meals. I
4 had not been 10 one for four or Eve years, and
am sorry to see the change that has come
over them; the results ef which, in my case,
are dyspepsia, headache, fretfelness. and ex-
treme fatigue Speed and stylish cabins ap-
pear to be the two things now aimed at. on
these boats. Comfort seems to be hardly
worth thinking about
Il | have only been on shore three hours;
since which have heard of nothing but the
Cuban Revolution: Now, as write, pro-
cession, proceeded by band Of Music and
the Cuban revolutionary flag, is passing By
my window. The weather is SO hot that my
door is open, and hear several young men
of good standing discussing in the passage,
and in the adjoining rooms. the doorsof which
are also open, the chances of success, the best
method of landing safely on the island, the val
, ue of real estate there, the chances of certain
individuals becoming honorable Senators from
Cuba and Quitman's chances for the Pfesi-
dency of the United States. as reward for
! the share he will have borne in the glorious
struggle.
1 do not pretend to be able to guess the
immediate result of the present outbreak in
Cuba; but, cannot entertain doubt that
the spirit whence it emanates, will ultimately
} free the island from Spanish rule.
|, One DR.. Brading, from away out West
and ignorant of the snares and temptations
THAT beset the yerdant in Gotham, went out
to see the sights on Thursday, and passing
down Broadway, be was much struck by The
remarkable reasonable price at which some
phlanthropic gentlemen were disposing Of
choice assortment of elegant gold Watches
Desiring to astonish bis neighbors, when he
returned home, with his shrewdIess in max
ing bargain, he made what he considered
? judicous bid, and, TO his great delight, splen-
. did gold repeater was knocked down TO him
for $50. He left his own gold watch as seen-
rity, while he went to the hotel for the mon
ey, and when he returned his purchase was
9 safely deposited in his hands He left the
|, store rejoicing, when one gentleman, more
philanthropic than the others, told him, conf
; dentialIy, tha. the purchase had been changed
during his absence, and that he should insist
a on an exchange being made He did so, and
. received a silver guilt watch, worth, perhaps,
So. thus being done. out Of $12 He applied
to a magistrate, but having voluntarily made
the exchange, there was no remedy and DR..
Brading left the Office wiser, but saddeT,
man.
The fearful extent Of immortality and crime
!, in Paris, has been surmised BY every in!eli-
gent observer; but its truly formidable char
e acter had scarcely been realized, until the re-
e suits of the recent census PLACED The facts be-
fore the world. 1t now appears. that the num-
Der of professional house-breakers, assassins
and thieves in Paris, is. in proportion to its
: population, one-third greater than that of any
: city in Europe. Fige-ninths of the adult fs-
e male population are either occupants of hous-
es of il anne licensed by the police, or living.
