ola Point th. Attraction.

We learn that quite large party of ladies and
gentlemen left our city this morning, in the
Osceola, for Old Point Comfort. There is no
place that offers more pleasant and delightful
retreat from the heat and dust of the city. Apart
from the many advantages which the place pos
sesses in the way of bathing, fishing, &c., 1t may
be mentioned that the Hygeia Hotel, under the
proprietorship of Jos. P. Reynolds, esq, is now
one of the best-conducted establishments in this
country, and is every way worthy of the patron
age Of the distinguished individuals who have
honored it with their presence during the present
season. A friend writes us:
~ am sorry to notice that the impression pre-
walls to some extent that the season at Old Point
does not continue later than the middle of Au-
gust. This is great mistake. Probably the
most pleasant time for visit would be in the
latter part of August or during the month of Sep
tember for it is then that the cool and refresh
ing breezes of the ocean contrast most strongly
with the sultry and oppressive heat which, during
these two months, particularly affiict the poor
mortals whose lives are spent amid the bricks
and mortar of city. The proprietor Of the
Hygeia' is alloays ready and willing to receive
his guests, and even in the dead of winter Wis
tier would find a cordial and hearty welcome.
"Those of our citizens who are yet contem-
plating a trip would do well to direct their
steps towards this delightful refuge of suffering
humanity. speak with feeling upon this sub
ject, as l have been but just now transferred
from this Point to the heat and dust of the
metropolis. The change is agful, and makes
me sigh for the Joys that we've tasted
"By way of information for others, would
state that left at Old Point about two hundred
and fifty visiters. There are ample accommoda-
tons for four hundred persons SO that there
need not be any fear of being unable to obtain
snitahla rooms -

CURIOUS HIsToRIoAL FAoT.-During the troubles
in the reign of Charles the First, country girl
came to London in search of place as servant
maid, but, not succeeding, she hired herself to
carry out beer from warehouse, and was one of
those called tub-women The brewer, observing
a good-lookng girl in this low occupation, took
her into his family as servant and after short
time married her. He died while she was yet a
young woman, and left her the bulk Of his for
tune. The business of brewing dropped, and
Mr.. Hyde was recommended to the young wo-
man as a skilful lawyer to arrange her husbands
affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards Earl of Clar-
endon finding the widows fortune considerable,
married her. By this marriage there was no
other issue than daughter, who was afterwards
the wife of James the Second, and mother Of
Mary and Anne, Queens of England.

All over the country the Wings have made
merit Of the fact that Gen. Scott refused to write
a word to get the nomination Union
Yes, and all over the world the Union declared
that the Wings could not in honor nominate "a
mum candidate that his avowals should pre-
cede his nomination-and that the Southern
Wings would be false to themselves in nominating
any candidate before the proclamation of their
platform. And yet Gen. Pierce did not respond
TO r. G. Scott, nor was the platform touched
until the nominations had been made by tn,
Democratic Convention.

Health OF Washington.

The general health of our city is at present
very good, but there is a tendency toward
cholera morbus and its kindred affections. Pru.
dence in diet is now important. Fruits and
vegetables should be ripe, but not stale, and used
IN moderation. Oysters and crabs should be left
in Their native element and strong drinks should
be quaffed only by suicides.

A Presidential Appointment.
The Winchester Republican saws:

The Winchester Republican says:
"We are gratifed to hear that the Senate, on
Thursday week, confirmed unanimously the NOM
inaton by President Fillmore Of b. F. Gallaher
as purser in the navy.
"Mr. G. is ordered to the fine sloop of-war
St Louis, Capt. Ingraham, destined for the Med
iterranean-one of the most delightful voyages
in the whole range Of naval excursion.
" The present affords us an opportunity of
contradicting the exaggerated reports of several
letter-writers from Washington, in reference to
the number Of Mr.. Gallaher's family holding Office
None but the Third Auditor and his son, now
transferred from an arduous clerkship to the
navy, have ever held places under the govern
| meDt.
"And this is scarcely to be complained of, under
an administration which even now tolerates the
continuance in fat places of from three to five of
more than one family Of Democrats
"The truth is, there never has been, since tbe
days Of John Quincy adams, an administration so
liberal 10 its opponents as hepresent."

CosT OF PREAcHERs.-A paragraph has been
circulating freely in the newspapers respecting
the excessive cost of preachers in the United
States. 1t is said that there are over sixteen
thousand ministers of the various denominations
and that, at an average cost of 1915 each
there would be expended the enormous sum Of
S6,000000 annually for this one thing. But
what is the cost Of keeping up an opposite state
of affairs? Over $4,000, 600 are annually spent
this country; and were Satan to have his own
way undisturbed, it is likely that no sum of
money or of means could keep order in our midst
The ministry, separate from other considerations.
is the greatest national safeguard that we. as a
republic, can boast.

GENERAL ScoTT AT THE WEsT.-The intensity
of the enthusiasm with which the nomination Of
Gen Scott is received at the West, observes the
\ bany Journal, is without parallel 1t is every
where hailed with delight In Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois, the news excited
the most lively animation, eclipsing even the en-
thusiasm of 1910. Ours is a grateful people.
They cannot forget the services Of those who
have periled their lives for their country. Gen.
Scott is destined to receive the reward of his
patriotic heroism. No paltry tricks or scheming
polticians-no malignant lbels of bad men-can
prevent his elevation to the Presidency. Repub
lies may be, but republicans are not, ungrateful.
