NEW YORK, July 10, 1888.
We have had two or three days and nights
Of not merely comparative but absolute
GOODNESS, which have quite reconciled those
who have not already fed the city, TO wait
a little lcnger." We are very comfortable
here after all. We have all the usual places
ofamusement quite cool in the absence of the
crowd We have gardens where lager bier
and really excellent music is dispensed,
through all these summer nights. Besides,
we are favored with the visits of many peo-
pie from abroad; particularly welcome are
the "early buyers" from the South and
Sou Invest, who are now on here, to some
extent, making some early purch ases
These, it must be understood, are heavy
buyers there are only about bakers doz-
en- of them in town, but they make as much
sensation in business circles as dozen Mo
BANNED Pashaws would make in the Com
mon Council. Each one Of these large buy
ers is good for bill Of $4,000 or $4,000,
some even more.
The funeral of LAuRENs HAMILTON, the
deceased member of the renowned eth Regi-
ment, was celebrated with all the honors
Like the majority of the National Guard,
to which this gentleman belonged, he was
descended of one Of the old families New
York is proud of her citizen company, and,
in truth, they should be able to justify this
good opinion if ever occasion might call for
it, for there is no lack ofgood blood in their
veins. Generally speaking however, the

of young men are mere haunts of vice;
some of them are furnished in the most
costly and luxurious manner, with all the ap-
planes for drinking and gambling and Ger.
tain unmentionable excuses.
A secret order Of political character is
said to be taking root in this vicinity, as
well as in other cities, intended to influence
the next Presidential election. The associa-
ton will be limited to young men between
twenty-one and thirty the ostensible object
being to secure fairness at the ballot box
and the election of the best men in every
official station to which end the members
bind themselves by a solemn oath to abide
by the decision of the majority of the men,
bers Of the association, in regard to candi.
dates. The association, it is said, will nom-
mate no candidates Of its own, but simply
offer its support probably on certain stipu-
lated terms,) to that candidate already in
nomination, whom it shall consider best
qualified to gil the Office in question. SO
the wires are already being laid, far and wide
and underground, for the great contest Of
1860.
We have new light here in the way Of
preacher, who is making quite a sensation.
His name is BARTLETT, young man fresh
from studying in Germany, who has drawn
great crowds during the brief period Of his
appearance here, by extraordinary displays
of rhetorical ability. lie has call under
consideration to a small church (congrega-
tionaD in Elm Place, Brooklyn. The popu.
lar Methodist preacher, Rev. WV. CoRBrrr.
has succeed in indicating himself entirely
from the SANDER which was published in the
daily papers sometime since, with regard to
his relation with female member of his
flock. This gentleman is decidedly "seu-
sation preacher and uses all the new fash
Toned lodges to attract crowds, such as pan
tomime exhibitions, funny stories and loose
metaphors in the pupil still, however, he
seems to do good and his labors are well re.
ceived. Rev. II. w. BEEcHRR, the father
OF this school of divines is now recreating
himself in the country after long and Ia
borious season OF ministerial duty; 400 per-
Sons having been admitted to his church
during the last six months the whole num-
Der in connection being now over 1900.
The religious interest still continues to
pervade the community in noticeable de.
gree, and publishers will turn their attention
more than ever TO works Of purely relig-
ious nature, in which they seem likely to
supersede the great religious publishing cor.
porations, which are lately falling into dis
favor. -
