Dsy- The descendants of the Puritans
and all others interested, will on the 1st
of August celebrate at Plymouth the
anniversary of departure of the pilgrims
from Delft Haven, in 1920. AS mark
of the innovations of the age, it may be
stated that this is a substitute for the
old celebration of the landing at Ply
MOUTH, on the 22d of December, when
the cold weather intcrferes materially
with the proper celebration of an event
so interesting to the thousands who
would like to participate in the festivi-
ties.

BATuING.-We notice several cases
of drowning in newspapers, from cramp
or accident. At this season, when
bathing is very properly INDUCED in by
children, it is necessary that parents
should guard against accidents 1t is
a simple, wholesome exercise, and a
great safeguard but too much care
cannot be observed in permitting chill
dren to bathe. They should always be
accompanied by their elders. The New
York Times says:-
Beware of plunging into water, the
temperature Of which ycu have not as
certained.
Beware of bathing in the heat of the
day, or with the body overheated
Beware of bathing Immediately after
any meal, when the digestive organs are
in full activity and lastly, when you
use the bathing dress, let it be light in
texture and white in color, or near
approach to it.
If you observe the first caution, you
will, in case of accident, not be beyond
the reach of the sight of any person at
the surface, even if the water is muddy
If you attend to the second and third

GoDEY's LADY's Book, for August,
is again on our table. With the prompt
ness and regularity of the seasons, this
ever-wclcome periodical comes to hand.
tits no surprising thing to us that Cooley
has been so successful in the publication
of this magazine for man with such
promptness and regularity cannot but
succeed. While there is so many mag
azine publishers that treat their news
paper contemporaries with such despica-
BILE smallncss by sending one or two
numbers and obtaining a notice and then
&" cutting off the supplies" it is really
refreshing to find one who acknowledges
the favors he receives by a reciprocation.
The embellishments and literary con-
tents of this number is up to the usual
standard of this publication.
THE ILLUSTRATED RECORD OF THE
INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS, Nos. l and
2 have been received. From the pros
pectus of this work we expected some
thing splendid something worthy the
object for which it was to be published,
and judging from these numbers We shall
not be disappointed. Those who are
acquainted with Putnam's publications
do not need to be told that he never
gets up any thing of this kind by halves.
There are no more beautiful publications
issued in this county than those from
the press of G.. p. Putnam & Go.
These numbers contain about sixty en-
cravings of the Crystal Palace and Of
articles on exhibition, with appropriate
letter press descriptions. The work is
to be published weekly during the eIhi-
bition-probably in twenty-six numbers
with a supplemental quarto form at
So.

The venerable editor of the Burling-
ton, VT, Courier, speaking of the ac-
quittal of Miss Wheeler, in Wisconsin,
for shooting her seduccr, says: "We
blush to name the fact-and yet duty
compels US to do tive have seen it in
our own Vermont, the State of our
pride and nativity, our friends and our
hopes-yes, even here, we have seen
the petition of injured women for the
legal redress which such cases demand,
referred by seduccr, as Speaker of the
House of Assembly, to a libertine, as
chairman, of a committee who would
follow in his wake-and all done with
the most unfeeling jests and jibes We
care not how many seducers are shot !;
the more the better.
BE- The above We clip from the
Stamford Adrocate, where it is published
without comment, and is, therefore, we
presume, sanctioned by the editor of
that paper. In our opinion, there is
no greater subverter of law and order
than this same professed sympathy for
" injured women" who take the law into
their own hands. That justice, in such
cases is prone to blindness, is readily
admitted. But neither in human or
divine laws do two wrongs make one
right. If there is no law that will reach
these seducers, it is time there was one
made, and, if you please, let women help
make them. But so soon as a person
is permitted to take the law into his, or
her, own hands, and became judge, jury
and executor while smarting under a
wrong-be that wrong the blackest on
the catalogue of human iniquities--just
so soon is spirit let loose which defes
all control, becomes amenable to no law
and
Cat first though sweet,
Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils."

This decision gives totlIe heirs eleven tracts OF

it does no: judge GRmR says:
"The reason why after-p purchased lands do not

York Herald, under date of Saturday, says: -
Colonel Iturbide reached here this morning, tile
bearer of the treaty recently negotiated Gy Judge
Gonkiing with the Mexican authorities, on the
subject of the Tehuantepec COMMUNICATIONS in
connection with what is known here as the Sloo
grant There is a veil of secrecy attempted 10 be
thrown around tire tr- atty, both in Mexico and here;
but am informed, from source having ample
opportunities of knowing, that the following is a
correct synopsis of the docuren --.s
b. First-The persons employed, and the property
invested, 10 be protected by both governments, so
that the transit OF passengers, and everything else
shall be open and free at all times and the nroper.
ty invested therein secure. - '-
Second-Every part of the way of communica-
ton Shall be neutral, under the guarantee of both
governments, during the fifty years of the contract

Fourth-Both governments are to prevent the

SiXth-No passports or letters of security are re-
quired by passengers.
Seventh-All questions that cannot be settled
by the two governments between themselves are
to be submitted 10 the arbitration Of friendly
government. If not settled within year, the
United States may withdraw its guarantee of neu-
trallty if it thinks fit. 5z4
BY comparing this synopsis of the treaty with the
Sloo grant, many important discrepancies will be
discovered, making the treaty much more LIBERAL
than the grant. The Iiberalty, however, can, in
all probability, be explained away, when occasion
requires, by diplomatic quibbles
