New Orleans in the comparison is a
healthy city. The number Of deaths last
week in New York was ll42, of which more
than fifty per cent were from sunstroke and
diarrhea diseases. Infants suffered terribly
from the latter, but the exact number has
not been ascertained, The increase in the
total over the week before was 526. The
weather Saturday was fine, the thermometer
only reached eighty-six degrees. There
was, however, quite number of cases of
sunstroke, but few compared with the num-
Der II the early part of the week.

saave We a Congsessr

If our country ever needed wise and patriotic Congress, t needs one now. Every pillar upon which the SUI perstructure of Government rests, trembles. Every material interest on which the welfare of our people de- penas, is in danger of perishing. The safety of the government itself, not less than the prosperity and happiness of the country, hangs upon the justice, prudence, and forbearance of Congress. Valueless will be the devoted services and signal trinmphs Of our army and navy, i our statesmen tail or falter in performing their share of the great work. And are they not failing? Are not the great questions of finance and currency ,overlaid ? Is not the return ofthe Southern people to their accus- toned pursuits made subordinate to the question of negro suffrage? Has not all the legislation of Congress, for nearly three years, had directreference to the presidential eleotion? And now, at this present moment, is not Congress using all it's great power to give the control of the presidential election to green negroes who arc con fessedly ignorant of the means by which suffrage is ex2resscd?"
 On the eve of events which may bring pervading ruin and bankruptcy flor without the cotton, tobacco, su- gar, rice, etc. of the South, these ca lamities will inevitably come-Con- gress is deliberately at work destroy ing the executive and judicial arms of the government. The executive author- ity was wiped out by the last Congress. the present Congress strikes at the ju- dietary. When the bill to strangle the supreme court, which was rushed through the House, passes in the Sen- ate, it will encounter veto, and then, by a two-third vote, passed over the head of the President.
 The eternal truth of the maxim that whom the gods intend to destroy are first made mad, is lost as an example. The lesson so recently, and with such terrible effect, taught the rebels, proves of no value to the radicals. They blindly persist in a course which is sure to overwhelm them. The meas ures kindred to those now being per- fected in Congress cost the Republican party it's ascendancy in six free States. nd hlt,.l learns nothing aud believes nothing of what is evident to all intelligent ob- servers.e This utter delusion can only be explained upon the principle that madness precedes destruction.--[N Y. Commercial Advertiser.

A Sweet Tenner.

No trait of character is more valua- ble in female than the possession of a sweet temper. Home can never be happy without it. It is like the flow CTS that spring up in our pathway re- viving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night wearied and worn by the tolls of the day, and how soothing is a word dictated bysa good disposi- ton. Itis sunshine falling on his heart. He is happy, and the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has 2 soothing influence over the minds of the whole family. Where it is found in the wife and mother, you obsefve kindness and love predominating over the natural feeling of bad heart.-- Smiles. kind words and looks cbarac- terizo the children, and peace and love have their dwelling there. Study then, to acquire and retain a sweet temper. It is more valuable than gold, it capti- yates more than beauty: and to the close of life it retains all it's freshness and power.

Leap Year.

The ladies must not forget that this is leap year, and that the peculiar priv- ileges of leap year continue throughout the year 1868. All the etiquette of the sexes is reversed. If ladies wish to walk or ride with gentlemen, to dance ties, to attend concerts, or to treat them to ice creams, they have the right to ask, or rather to command every thing, for it is not to be supposed that refu- sal in such a case is within the bounds of possibility but the greatest and most important privileges must not be forgotten. There are thousands of bashful bachelors, old and young, who look hopefully to leap year, and are waiting to be asked. They are anxious to have some fair one to do what they will never have the courage to do them selves--pop the question. They want to get married, but lack the courage to say so. Nothing but leap year can save them from the most gloomy and horri- ble fate. The ladies must take pity on these forlorn, buttonless wretches, and not forget that if they go unmarried another three years, it will be theirs to answer for. Common coquetries and setting of caps won't do. It is right up and doing business, and the old blades not only expect to be asked, but they are waiting for it with the great est anxiety and impatience. If there are any bachelors left in this commu- nity on the first day of January 1869, 1t is easy to see whose fault 1t would be-

Some time ago a Federal soldier who had served through the war, when engaged in conversation with number of Radical politicians, asserted the fi- delity of the Southern people and sol diers to obligations imposed by defeat in battle. He denied that they were unfit fer duties of citizenship, and as- serted their fidelity to the original Federal Union. His observations were contradicted by Radical who hap pened to have share of wealth. The ex-soldier, Gilbert II. Bates, on wa ger, proposed to start from yicksburg, and announcing himselfa a true Union soldier, 10 carry the Federal flag from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. Thus far he has been kindly received by the people along his route, and we do not doubt that within the week he will reach his destination.
 We heard of Mir. Bates in the inte- rior of Mississippi. He moves along steadily, and without penny in his pocket is entertained by the rich and poor alike along his line Of march.-- Memphis Avalanche.

 OLD BooKs.--Among themo precious of ancient things that we are in danger of losing is the fine old.fashioned taste for literature proper and pure. He do not love literature as the Queen Anne men loved it, nor as some of the Johnsonian set loved it, nor as it was loved by little group of men not more than generation back We are all turned publicists and thinkers and esthetic philosophers. There do not seem to be Jeff. t.nor to be springipg lap, any men of the antique stamp, with delicate enjoyment of all sorts of books for their own sake, just as men enjoy good wine for it's own sake. We dash at book to eyis- cerate it as swiftly as we may, and, having got out of it what nutriment we can, rush off pellmeil somewhere else, Where is the man who takes up his book daintily and caressingly, as he would take up a glass of wine, ancient aud off rare vintage, turning over hero page and there page, enjoying flash of its colour and prolong ing his delighted sense of its fine aroma and boquet. The old heroes who fingered and brooded over a book as the bee fingers in the bell of fowern. the sunshine have nearly all gone, and none others step in their places. This is only one.of the thou sand signs that we are fast stripping our. selves of a capacity for pleasure.
