The Northern Watering Places.

The most famous Northern pleasure resorts are
said TO be thin and melancholy this season. 1t
has become fashionable for Northern pleasure
seekers to 70 to Europe, and for Southerners to
visit their own Springs. Whilst those of the
North have fallen off this summer, those of the
South have increased, and are likely to continue
Increasing The White Sulphur, under its new
auspices, has been filled to OVERLOOKING, and the
next season, with it's new Improvements completed,
will be the Saratoga Of the South in everything
but snobbery and pretension.
We sec that rome of the Northern watering
places are recommended on the ground of their
conservative character. This is right and proper.
All springs should be conservative Of health and
strength, and maintain the constitution in its in
tegrity. Happily, can find such without going
beyond the limits Of the State. Virginia has al
ways been a conservative commonwealth in her
politics, and hereafter will be conservative of her
cash. Tho time has Como when she realizes the
value of tho wise Northern maxim to buy nothing
abroad that you can obtain at home.
We would not encourage a sectional spirit least
Of all, in amusements aud recreation, But we
would have the South true In all things to itself
II cannot then DO "talse to other men" 1t is ad.
vantageous for the people Of the two sections to
meet often, and improve their acquaintance with
each other; but the visits should not be restricted
TO one side. The South has been going to North
ern springs ever since they were established. 1t
is time that Northerners should come here Let
them come. We they will have a cordial
welcome, and, amidst the grand mountains, health
full breezes, and social amenities of Virginia life,
will give up their ignorant prejudcss, and see
that the South is not as black it is painted 1t
would be much better for them, in national point
IF view, to visit tho South than Europe

Mrs. Cunningham.

TheNew York Herald expresses the opinion tina,
the decision Of the Surrogate, demoishing Mrs
Cunninghams claim to be the widow of DR.. Rur
dell will operate to her advantage on the trial for
attempting to produce suppostitious child with
a view frauduently to intercept the inheritance OF
DIR. Burdell; because, If she not the widow of
that person, no child of hers-whether suppositi-
tious or genuine-could Intercept any inheritance.
and the production Of the child would cease to be
a crime within the meaning and intent Of the law.
The decision of the Surrogate is deliberately and
logically argued, and establishes the justice of his
decision beyond all question. lie is of opinion
that while DR.. Burdel was at Ierkimer on the day
Of the supposed marriage, Mrs. Cunningham was
In fact married to some one else. The Herald re-
marks that, assuming the Judgment of the Surro-
gate to decide the truth, and no one can doub, it,
tho marriage must have been planned, and, as a
consequence, the murder which gave it its value
AZ far back as early in October, SO that for four
menths this extraordinary murderess cherished
the dreadful purpose In her breast

Genealogy of Washington.

An ambitious Heraldist has traced up the ances
try OF Gen. Washington to nobility and thence &c
royalty, and has succeeded in establishing tho pro
position that not less than three crowned head'
had contributed their celestial blood to the veins
the first President.
In China the glory of a great man Is reflected
upon his ancestors, rather than his descendants, a
rule which, If adopted among the Western nations,
would reflect degree of dignity and honor upon
the royal ancestry of Washington which their
sceptres could never confer The idea of Washing
ton being exalted by such descent is unworthy
the republieanism of America and the common
sense of the 10th century.
