Americans the English practice Of walking great

Old Concord, Mass., has a cemetery called
"sleepy Hollow Cemetery" where rests the ashes
of Hawthorne and Thoreau, and where, in due
course Of time, men will follow to the grave those
now living who made Concord famous in their day.
On hillside sloping towards the west are the
graves of the Tboreau family and of the anthor of
the "scarlet Letter." higher up the ridge are the
Enclosures of the Emerson and Ripley families, the
Brookses. the Bsrtletts, the Writings and on the
southern slope of the same hill stands the monu.

LETTER FROM NEW YokK.


Special Correspondence of the New Orleans Crescent
New YORK, Sept. 10, 1868.
Autumn has really set in. Last night the sub.
Drbs OF the city was visited by Jack Frost and in
the city closed windows and plenty of bed-cIothes
were not at all uncomfortable. Within two days
the appearance Of Broadway has changed from its
quiet and unattraetive appearance of summer to
gay fall promenade. The ladies are out in
swarms, and of course there is every inducement
that merchants can offer to make them invest in
" fall fashions The bellies from Saratoga and
Newport lind their watering place inventions do
not take " as they anticipated. What will do
for Jaunty seaside costume will no. do for an
afternoon promenade on the avenue.
With the introduction of fall, business does not
revive, however everything being still as dull as
it con possibly be. In all branches of trade com
plant is the rule and satisfaction very rare ex-
oePion. or course some goods are sold, but in
proportion to expenses of both living and busi-
ness, 1t is merely a trhe. All descriptions of
goods have not been as cheap in several years, as
they are now, but people have no money for any
thing outside of positive necessities, until the
ball and party season commences, and then they
go in on tick if they have not got the ready
stuff"
Another sample Of Radical vengeance has lust
come to light, in the case of a policeman. It ap-
pears the man in question was a roundsman on
the force, and while Off duty short time since
made speech at a Democratic meeting few
days afteTward when the men were leaving the
station for their posts, the captain of the precinct
ASou az OiOOI run ntduquhTteTs, n0tlfylng this
roundsman that be was reduced 10 the ranks -
for negligence. This the officer did not fancy,
and he declined to obey the captain, who ordered
him on patrol d1ty, but asked for a slip of paper
to write his resignation. This the captain refused
him, whereupon hard words ensued and the officer
was locked up for the night. The following
morning an appearance was put in before Justice
bowling, who Immediately discharged the officer
from custody, saying that the captain had ne
nation.
The Board Of Police Commissioners are by law
composed of both Democrats and Republicans,
but the whole concern is led around by one man,
who Is an out and out Radical, and who claims to
be boss " Of the ranch. It puzzles some TO
know why the Democratic members allow the
ioree 70 be used for the benefit Of the Radical
psrty, but so it seems to be.

Bonnets, says the Oracle, are smaller than ever;
that is, the frames are, being only from three to
five inches wide at the broadest part. But they
are SO heavily trimmed as to seem larger. Feath.

hats; for the latter, small hsme-colored tuft or

WHITE HANDs.-Delicate hands have al
ways been the theme Of praise Of poets and
lovers, and there is a charm about them, one
must admit. Still the mere charm of white
ness and softness, is entirely secondary in my
opinion, to the still greater charm Of one of
power and magnetism. Now, it is not an easy
matter for healthy girl to obtain uniformly
white hand. If the blood flows actively and in
swift currents, it will sometimes rush to the
cheeks and sometimes to the hands, and gen.
orally it does this just when it is not wanted
covering the poor subject of its vagaries with
modification. Why girls should be mortified
at a flush which simply shows youth and health
it is hard to say, but they are so, and it may
be because fashion has decreed impassiveness
of appearance and manner as the most desira-
BILE of virtues, and voted even the natural cir
culation of the blood common and vulgar. 1t
is medical fact that the delicacy of appear
ance common to most American girls is due to
their sedentary habits, the want of activity in
the circulation of the blood, and the incipient
liver complaint, which afterward changes them
into premature old women. When their youth
has departed, they know that they could very
well have afforded little of the health which
produces permanent beauty at the expense Of
their silly delcacy. But who can make them
believe it now.
Smyrna times., 1868-11-04

Some poet made out a list of no less than
forty signs of rain as an excuse for not going on
an excursion with a friend, once upon a time.
1t is very certain that the sensibility of many
animals and plants to the condition of the at
mosphere will often indicate with certainty ap-
storm is pending, the spider shortens the
thread Of his web, and lengthens it again when
the storm is about to pass of. The swallow is
also an iniallible barometer, flying low, almost
touching the earth, and uttering low, plain
tive cry before rain, but sailing back and forth
high in the air during settled weather. The
goose manifests great uneasness before rain,
plunging into the water, and rapidly returning
of fair weather, but the cry of the tree-toad
indicates rain. When the air is overcharged
with moisture the odor of flowers is strong and
penetrating, and in dry weather is soft and
agreeable,
Smyrna times., 1868-11-04

An amusing incident occurred in one of the
churches of Philadelphia, last Sunday evening.
An old lady, whose failing eyes demanded au
unusually large prayer book, started for church
a little early. Stopping on the way to call on
friend, she laid her prayer book on the cen
ter table. When the bells began to chime, she
snatched what she supposed to be her prayer
book and started for church. Her seat was in
the chancel end of the gallery. The organ
ceased playing-the minister read 1.-The Lord
is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep
silence before him. In the effort to open her
supposed prayer book, she started the spring OF
the music box, which she had taken instead.
1t began to play-in her CONSERVATION she put
it on the floor. 1t would not stop; she put it
on the seat; it sounded louder than ever
Finally she carried it out while it played Lam
nigans Ball.
