cular attractions. 1t is difficult to SAY which
will be most ptronized.
While our army and navy keep
pegging away" at the rebels, l'resident
Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln and their
court should seek relaxation and recreation
at some one of these summer retreats. MIS-
Lincoln has already visited Long Branch ana
Niagara Falls; but number Of other inviting
haunts remain from which to choose So bril-
liant season should not lack the eclat of the
Presidents participation. The delights OF the
Soldiers Home, to which he commonly resorts
during the dog days. cannot compare with the
dancing waves and dancing parties at Newport,
the waters and the sorees at Saratoga, the
fresh, pure air and exquisite scenery of the
Catskill Moutains, the miniature Alps and
queer Shakers Of Lebanon Springs or the rural
felcities of little Manchester. Besides this, If

the President cannot fully appreciate the great
ness, wealth and resources of the country.
These politicians. like flies, will swarm around
him only the more herrely during tsa summer
heats. and wilt btfzz Into bis ears absurd hopes
or still more absard forebadiags. Let him
escape from these nuisances and mingle with
the people at the watering places. There he
will see love-making and matchmaking, dancing
and flirting. dissipatlpn and enjoyment. The
intrigues and maneuvfes Of anxious mammas
will amnse him after his experience Of intrgues
and maneuvres Of anxious Office seekers. The
government contractors will appear to him in
a new light, reflected from the diamonds with
which they will be emblazoned.' The President
and all his constituents may learn more useful
and entertaining knowledge at the watering

ATLANTIC CABrx.-t is encouraging in these
days Of commercial depression to know that
the merchants are taking deep interest in
telegraphic communication with Europe Not
only is this manifested in their anxiety to have
a cable laid but many have gene to work, sub
scribed literally to the stock themselves and
laid the matter before their friends, who have
also become Interested. II is not strange that
sagacious men, such as the merchants &c New
York, should realize the necessity OF placing
this city in direct communication with Europe.
Thirty years ago from thirty 10 fifty days
were consumed in making q passage from
Europe to America. At the same time we Dos
se.sed equal advantages with the world, as
corresponding space Of time was required to
communicate between the ports Of Europe Of
like distance. Thus upon an equal footing
American enterprise competed for the CON-
merce Of the world with great success, dotting
every sea with our fast sailing ships. Our COM
mercial prosperity continued to advance until
the period for transmitting teiegraphic mes
sages by means Of submarine cable, between
the ports Of Europe, when American commerce
received shock. To place ms upon an equal
footing with Europe, as we stand under selling
and steam ships, we must have an ocean tcle-

The Next Season at the Watering
Places.

Places.
We have already predicted that the next
season at the watering places will be the most
brilliant on record. The experiences of every
day confirm this prediction. The war has made
hundreds Of people suddeRly rich. and newly
rich people generally spend money freely.
There is no form Of fashionable extravaganza
which is not now INDUCED 10 surprising ex-
tent India shawls and velvet cloaks are more
common than calico. Everybody keeps car
riage, and many people keep half dozen car
risges. Diamonds of the first water sparkle in
ears accustomed only TO plain gold and very
little of that, or glitter upon fingers formerly
unused to kid gloves and jewelry. The'Opera
closed last evening with the favorite Mazzoleni's
splendid benefit, aud, if we except the prone
made on Broadway and the drives in the
Park, there will be no opportunity for our
fsshionables, old and new, to display their fine
feathers until Maretzek resumes operations or
tho watering place season begins Both events
are most anxiously anticipated.
The landlords of summer hotels are
taking time by the forelock, ana wisely
preparing for crowd Of visitors. Ad-
vertisements. for summer board and summer
boarders already appear in the HERALD There
seems TO be general disposition to begin the
season early and make 1t gaysr than ever be-
fore. The war rather promotes than checks
