"TURN ABOUT is FAIR PLAY."-New Or

uninhabitable six months of the year except
by people hardened to its climate New Or
leans, considered in summer as plague-strick
en- and avoided by all visitors, is now one of
the coolest and healthiest cities on the CONT
nent. New York is boiling, Boston baking.
Philadelphia positively frying in the excessive
heat, and the watering places and pleasure re-
sorts of the North afford literally no greater
relief than would be obtained by "iumping
out OF the frying pan into the fire." As to
health we have yet to chronicle single case
Of yellow fever in this city, once deemed the
very headquarters of pestilence, while we
learn that at the quarantine stations of both
New York and Boston, the yellow DESTROYER

rience teaches us that it will not be confined
to the harbor alone. For eight long wears the

THE ETHERIAL CON WAY.

So "Parson" Conway wants house, rent
$50 per month, id which to shelter his
weary head; and he wants staff of clerical
assistants to relieve him of Office work while
he will be trotting around, with special con-
stabulary, to bring to punishment poor men
or poor widows whose children are not
found in Parson" Conways schools,
that includes nearly all the newsboys of
the city-who shall dare to make a
living without having served an educational
session among the infant wards of the ma
ton" Such a development on the material
and sordid side of human nature was hardly
to be expected of this devoted and self deny
ing creature. The admirers of carpet-bag-
gerry looked to him, of all men, to exhibit
disinterested enthusiasm and an exalted
spirituality, and thus TO vindicate that
noble profession from the gibes and
slurs of the envious and malignant. Even
we, skeptical as our wont has been in
that relation, were disposed to believe in the
fulfllment of this expectation. But the
result plunges us in still deeper skepticism;
is fatal, indeed, to the precious little faith
which we had retained in the working out of
human perfection through the ETHEREAL essence
of carpet-baggery personifed in "Parson
Conway, intellectually and morally giant,
though physically delicate almost to in
corpereality. Henceforth we relinquish every
vestige of the idea that the "Parson" sought
any earthly reward more substantial than the
romantic news he sends to the New York
