CooL.-Considering the very hot
weather that obtains at the present
time in New York the following pro-
position is decidedly cool:
AT the Board of the New York
Supervisors, on the goth inst, a petit
ton was received from D. r. Martin,
President; ofihe Ocean Bank, pray.
ing for the remission of the city taxes
on said bank, on the ground that
during the year it has not made ::any
clear profit or income at all. p" After
this, le, no man say that traffic in
money dulls the wit, or destroys the
sense of humor. Hood himself, OF
Punch. never gave birth to a funnier
idea than this one of Mr. D. r. Mart
ms Only fancy bank with capital
of 100000 begging to be let of
paying taxes, because it has done bad
business. "
II the tax of every one in this city
who has done bad business during
the year were to be RENTED the trea.
sury. Having nothing in it-would
then have less.

whether his grief was for the loss of
his hat or his child is not related.

It mafe set down as a fact, that
the ball kirly opened for the par
ties who have enlisted their services to
dance at the entertainment in Novem-
Der. The Organs, large and small,
are discoursing most excellent music !;
stating facts. which are denied to be
facts; making assertions and state
meuts under oath, that are transpar-
emily fictitious; calling meetings in
the name of "large number Of re-
spectacle citizens, who have no exist
cnce," and doing many other things
equally praiseworthy and commenda-
bio. Buncome speeches are being
made in all directions, and patriotic
gentlemen are loosing much Of their
time, wind and money. in endeavors
to show the fallacy Of the way Of those
who stand in their way for Office. The
country press is full Of large caps and
points of exclamation. calling for Pc
culiarly "Great, Grand and Glori'
ous.!!.!! Wake up Jake::!!!! Mammoth
Barbacues," at which Free discus
sion is CAalsenged!!!! Yet never
theless, and notwithstanding all this,
truth is immutable. and cannot be
changed BY any movement, either ad-
vance or ret GRADE; and error is the
very same commodity which has been
traficked about, these eighteen hum
bred years. to the prejudice Of all those
whose fortune consists in having
been born with limited vision. The
wrong way is just as good for this
class to travel in, as the right. From
close observation, the Student must
be satisfied that society is divided into
two great classes-"k uaves and fools"
There is a mutual dependence, which
proves tho fallacy of the declara-
ton axiom, that "all men are crea-
ted free and equal. Such is not the
fact, since some have muscles for run
ming well; others have muscles for
fighting. Some are tall; others are
short. There are fat men, and lean
men; some that will measure the thir-
teen inches from probocis, back to
os,poster;or;s; others-very scant nine.
There are however, only two varieties
of the genus and as before said, they
may be distinguished under the gen.
eric heads, of " knaves md fools. -
The fools are by laws of nature, as
abject in their servitude to the knaves'
as the slave is to the master. Hence
it is, as Professor Fitzhue has said,
that free society is a failure. =
But we have lostpur bearings. The
object of this article was to inform
candidates very briefly, that there is to
be a "Grand wake up Jehosiphomt"
meeting at Pompeii, on the 9Th inst,
and in connexion with free discus
sion, there is to be Free Dinner"
We hope that such generous fellows
as are travelling at their own expense !;
will be on hand to represent the par
ty; for twenty 6eeves are to be kill
ed, with a proportional number Of
swine and other animals.

The Delta's New York correspon-
dent, in his last letter, dispatches
things in the foh ling manner:
see that Charles Summer is trav-
cling through the West. lie has an
eye to the Presidency. He hopes to
get a domination through the fusbion
Of the old Wings and new Republic
ans The Evening Post seems to be
in bis favor and to have commenced
the game by denouncing his Free-soil
competitors-John P. Hale for exam
pie, being in, for half a dosen COL
umns Of vituperation from the Post.
This sheet few days since, con-
tanned long and able article-doubt-
less from the pen of Mr.. Bryant-on
the next Presidency, in which the pos
sible denomination of Mr.. Pierce
was designated as a berlesque, and
the bringing forward Of some new
man on new grounds urged as
expedient. 1t added that this candi-
date ought to be one who would main
tain the idea that slavery was section
tional. not national, which by the by
is Mr.. Summers favorite theory. My
own opinion is that Mr.. Summer will
not be elected President till this Union
is divided, and he may then be made
Chief Magistrate with the following
highly "gifted +" Cabinet:
Secretary of State W. H. Seward.
Sec'y Of Treasury Horace Greeley.
Sec'y of War Salmon P. Chase.
Sec'y Of Navy VIM. L. Garrison.
Sec'y of Interior F. Douglas (col;
Postmaster Genl. John p. Hale.
Attorney Genl. Theodore Parker.
The last Office would be given to Mr..
Parker on the. ground of his opposi-
ton to all laws whatsoever. and his
eloquent teaching of the fundamental
doctrine that it is the first duty Of the
citizens to set laws at defiance and al
low himself to be governed only by
the light Of reason and philosophy and
abolitionism.
A new hotel of the size Of the St.
Nicholas, and like that, with an ex-
ten ed front Of white marble, is about
to be opened on Broadway near Bond
street It is, at last, completed and
advertised to be let. 1t is called the
Lafarge House, and is over and ada
cent to the Metropolitan Theatre
that dramatic temple in which Rachel
is to make her French appearance in
September. Those plays Of Racine,
which she proposes to render, have
been very badly translated into broken
English, and are to be distributed
among the audience.
Speaking Of hotels, the funniest look
ing specimen of the sort ever seen
here or elsewhere, has just been built
on that magnificent avenue ofparvenu
fashion. the Fifth, corner Of Twenty
second street. It looks like very
tall woman with steeple crowned
bonnet on Covering but small plot
of ground, it runs up disproportiona-
tely high with long ornamented
windows. To what use it is to be
put nobody knows but it is supposed
to be tavern, and has been christen-
ed the Shanghai House.

THF ADVANTAGES OF SINGING.-
If you would keep spring in your
hearts, learn TO sing. There is more
merit in melody than most people are
aware of. A cobbler who smooths
his wax ends with a song, will do as
much work in day as one given to
ill nature and fretting would effect in
week. Songs are like sunshine !;
they run to cheerfulnes> TO fill the
bosom with such buoyancy that. for
the time being, you feel filed with
June air, or like a meadow of clover

DoUBrFUL.-It is reported that the
President has received letter from
the Gar of Russia, in reply to one
transmitted by special hand through
our Minister at St. Petersburg, con-

President Pierce from the late Nicho-
las, bore the Cars own autograph -
