New YoEr, July l9;h, le3s.
The summer desrrtlon Of New York has
fairly sci in. The c.ergymcn haye taken theIr
annual fight. Many churches have reduced
their services to one a day The residents oi
Fifth avenue, University place and all that re-
giun are gone. The doors Of these palaces
stand WIDE open revealing muied chandeliers
and furniture, among which the painter and the
glider NAY be seen at their tasks. AT the open
window, sitting Gu the steps, or yawning at the
basement, the old house servant may be seen
looking out for the premises while the family
are away. | took stroll up Fifth avenue. 1T
looked like banquet hall deserted; not one OF
the inhabitants usually seen appeared. AS q
morning promenade and al afternoon lounge,
it is one Of the most popular among The upper
ten. But all the beauty has gone. Blinds
down, ruling iron shutters fast, rust on the
door.plate, codwebs on the panel, tell the tale
Of desertion. Hard times and revivals have no
power to keep the people III New York, or the
churches open. The latter must be cleaned
once year, and no great energy can bC Impair
ted to a preacher or any great good done by
preaching to bakers dozen in church that
usually holds congregation Of about one thou
sand people. We must all have our vacation
in New York, and we take it.
On Friday evening five young women, be-
tween the ages of fourteen and nineteen years,
all inmates of the House Of Mercy, on 8Gth ST.,
in this city, went into the North River for the
purpose of bathing. After making the neces-
sary preparations, all the girls joiued hands,
went some distance into the water, but being
unacquainted with the presence Of a few deep
holes near the seth street dock, they unfor-
tunately got beyond their depth, and being un-
able to swim, sank to the bottom. Not one of
the bathers was seen after their first disappear
ance under water The probability is, there
fore, that the unfortunate girls remained locked
IN each others embrace, and will be found in
that condition. Their names we're Asaral
Van Glider, Hannah ii. Bryan, Ellen Smith,
Margaret Flynn, and Louisa Ever.
Cancemi, the Italian murderer, has been the
second time sentenced 10 death. The qujbbles
OF the law, the death of one or more wltsesses
the bribery of such as are not dead. the tamper-
ing with one Of the jury-all have been with
out avail. He made violent speech about
American freedom told the Court how much
he had suffered from European despotism, and
how sadly he was disappointed with the rusut
of the trial. He is only one of large class
among who regard liberty as Synonymous
with licentiousness, who ccme to our shores
and imagine that we have no law. If they |
need food or raiment, they DO not 90 to work, |
they rob. fla man has what they feel in need I
ot they take 1t from him. If man ohcnds |
them they shoot him. If police officer at
fempts to arrest them for crime, they blow his |
brains out; and when arrested, they plead the |
idea that this is a free country No people |
among US are so clanish and So desperate. You
see this is all they DO. An Italian actcr or
singer gets applause and houses that no one
else can. If one of their number gets into
trouble, they are bound to get HIM out. 1t is
that no less than ten thousand dol
tars have been expended iii tie Cancemi trials
and the execution OF this man Will do more TO
teach those desperado's lesson than the send
ing to the galiows dozen ordinary men.
We have among us The elements Of the vel
low fever. ehave plenty of it in the harbor,
and in defiance ofall regulations and law, the

terrible disorder introduces itself to the homes
