The Hop came to an end, and we came to the
conclusion that there was good deal of scan
dial brewed out of these summer hops.
We were again favored with a mosquito sere-
made; but at last gotasleep, with confused idea
that everything there was dear, and the mosqui-
toes could only be reasonably supposed TO put
us in their bills.
Next day was clear. so our set took ride to
the Beach to look for diamonds. saw one OF
the young gentlemen constantly looking in one
of the young ladies eyes, ] suppose for dia-
monds; and he found them there certainly, but
il was pity to see them in such setting OF
brass Well we didn't get any diamonds, but
did get tired, and had TO ride home through a
large army of mosquitoes. The chief produc-
tions of the place seem to be mosquitoes and
sand; consequently there arc great many bars.
The ladies take their chocolate under theirs, and
the gentlemen take their whisky over theirs.
There is very large number OF professional
men practising at the Bar.
Every pleasant morning our nurse wanted to
take Willie to the beach to see the fddlers so l
got the idea ] would follow one morning, and
see the fddlers too. Found it well had, for
there was Willie with feet and stockings wet
through, while the nurse was some distance up
the beach, talking to two-legged fiddler OF one
once, and couldn't get another; and sO by way
of pleasing variety Molly had to play nurse
herself without wages Two days after the
effects of the wet feet showed themselves;
Willie was sick. We got the best doctor we
could but if we had been home ] wouldn't have
had him to doctor sick cat, unless ! had
wanted it to die; but unfortunately we
were not at home, and q long expert
ence of Notwithstanding had taught me never
to refuse the best that was to be had, even if it
was horse. On this principle we gottlis doctor
Willie was very sick for whole week, and all
this time the hops were hoped, the piano jam
glcd, rides ridden, fishes ished and not one of
'our set" came near the room to ask after the
now really sick child; but it was just here that
the pure gold of the old maids character struck
out. We found her real value when she was
wanted: found there were gems that shone
more brilliantly in dark places. She
alone came; she staid and nursed

Next day our set went fishing: here were nine
ladies and three gentlemen. We caught one
twelfth of fish apiece; the ladies would sing,
which, of course. is a very good plan when you
go fishing. Some one proposed throwing our one
fish over to Tighten the boat; the old maid
thought it was light enough already. q had
noticed she hadn't appeared delighted with the
singing) We at last took vote; there were six
for and six against throwing over, when the fish
relieved us of further responsibility by giving
the casting vote; it wriggled off the hook, and
cast itself into the sea. Some one proposed
going farther up, but the boatmen said they
didn't think it was quite as good fishing there"
so we didn't go; not but what we didn't get
plenty of bites; we each had a small bite of
lunch; counted twenty mosquito bites; and as
/ noticed one of the boatmen scratching his
head frequently, have always suspected he had
a bite that he told us nothing about.
So one day passed, and couldn't help saying
to Molly when we got into our room, If this be
pleasure make the most OF it."

The day came, and we went We got there.
I've often wished we never had. Just as we
were getting tired out and thinking of returning,
we got room. Sent Molly up stairs while l
stepped in to the bar to get julep to wash off
the dust; at the same time couldn't help wondering
how the feminines got rid of the dust without
juleps. Then went up stairs and found Molly
in the midst of her lamentations "Jingle, whv
didn't you get room? don't want to sleen in a
closet. And those wretched men have left our
trunk outside"
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-07-31

The truth was the trunk was so big itwouldn't
20 through the door, and If it had, don't know
where we would have found room to put it, we
certainly would have had to stand on it while
we dressed
''Never mind Molly pacifying her, 'ft is
good you brought your trunk, for if the room
proves too small, Willie or one of us can
sleep in the trunk" Willie was the sick Child,

This is how it happened. I came home to

RECOGNIZE the negro's right 10
vote; cease to abuse and sneer at him
treat him as a human being with a
soul in his body, and as susceptible of
the sensibilities, the resentments and
frailties of humanity, and he will at
once emulate the magnanimity of the
whites, endeavor to rival them in in
duStry, enterprise andthrift, cultivate
amity, educate his children, acquire
hOmesteads FOR his family, strive to
deserve the confidence of his fellow
men, and, above all, he will never
cast his vote to the injury of the white
man, who he has learned by kindness
is his only friend.
The Post quotes the above from our
Aratdnche neighbor with much gqstO,
and says it is the very thing, and
Sound as SUMNER himself could
have put it," 1t also quotes Gov.
FooTE as saying sin Tennessee and
Virginia a triumph has been achieved
upon the basis of universal equality of
races before the law" The Post ex-
claims: "This is a remarkable tri-
umph for Republieanism." We hope
vi neighbor will be careful about get
ting into bad company. SUMNER is a
fanatic, FoOTE was never right more
than three inmates in his life, and the
Post is in a sad minority, where he
will not like to be. Let him not have
to exclaim, "Save me from
ay friends" by having too many of
them.

THE NEWS.

The negroes in Jamaica are fight

The Chinese question is exciting a
great deal Of attention at present all
through the country. In New York a

A movement has been made at

And now we have a {" revolution -

SECRETARY FLETCHER has written
for publication in the Nashville
Banner a letter giving his opinion as
to the question whether we shall ere
pudiate any portion of the debt of
this State" The ~utterance of such an
" opinion" is simple absurdity.
Honest men never go about with a
bell, like the town crier, Boosting that
they are too good to steal. And such
an " opinion" is a work of superero-
CATION, which looks rather too much
like a consent that the people Of Ten
nessee are subject to suspicion, to come
from any but a Radical source. We
are not aware that anybody else has
raised the question whether any "just
debt of the State shall berepudiated.
If any question has been raised, so far
as we know, it is whether, what some
may have supposed to be an unjust
debt, unconstitutionally and illegally
imposed, shall be paid. Whether a
portion Of the State debt IS just, Is the
question which they have proposed to
discuss. And this, all honest men
can look into with prOpriety, as well
as honestly decide. The Secretary
begs the question in the outset, in
order to give his grave opinion
that the State should be honest!
He says " some two or three men,
bers elect have expressed a purpose
to repudiate a portion of the debt,
when, if they have spoken at all, it
was to deny the existence of such a
position. He says this will include
all our bonds that are termed neic
bonds by the stock boards and in the
quotations." amounting in all to sl9,-

IL addition to ETHERIDGE and

Union and american suggest for Sen
ator one, the name of EDWIN H.
EWING, and the Otherthat of EDMUND
COOPER. Mr.. EWING is a man second
to mons in the State, and for talents as
q jurist and q statesman would be in
ferior TO no man in the United States
Senate. He is Withal q man Of that
high order who would rather beFight

gentleman of very considerable talent
and high character, a consistent and
answering Union man, and would
make a good Senator. There are not
a few eminently qualified meq in the
State. But the time has not come 70

now made upon it, Inventive genius in
his direction S eming to have achieved
its utmost. Mr.. Lyalls loom ~undoubted-
" possesses manifold advantages over
any other of the kind eXtant. One or aus
most striking feature is, that the picking
stick heretofore OF such universal use is
entirely dispensed with. The shuttle be-
ing carried through the warps, Is, wltn al
other parts of the loom, held, controllel,
and acted upon bv a direct and contlnu-
GUS connection with the motive power.
Hence there is no liability OF a smash oc-

DIR. r. Shelton Mckenzie, the cele-
brated Irish literateur of IA Philadelphia
Press, q gentleman whose experience IN
the literary world enaoles MIN 10 speah
almost au~thoritatively in such matters,
/ without qualification denounces Mrs.
Stoves allegations of incest by Lord BY
ron. So does the New York Tribune,

calling for and demanding proof OF what
the world of literature regards a SANDER
upon the first of English poets after
Shakespeare.
An inspection of the death records
of Massachusetts, for the last past twenty
five years, shows that brain work does
not shorten life. The records exhibit the
fact that bankers, merchants, clergymen,
judges, lawyers, physicians and profess
sors live longer han the average of all
classes of occupations, and very much
longer than laborers or inactive mechan
les working in shops. A healthy mind in
a healthy body is capable of an almost
unlimited amount of labor without in
Jury; hut if the body is broken down by
excess, or by neglect, the mind suffers
with it, and both fall together.
Judge Trumbull, United States Sen
ator from Illinois, in a recent converse
ton with Brigham Young in Salt Lake
CITY, was told by Brigham that on return
ing TO Congress that he(the Judge) might
hear of obnoxious Federal officials being
put out of the Territory, and he might be
sure it would be for just and good rea-
sons. Trumbull replied that before he
YOung5 took such a step he should make
known his grievances to President Grant,
who would not permit a violation of law
to go unpublished, and adding that it
would " not be safe TO modest public Off
GERS in the discharge of their duties" The
Judge, as we read, then asked Young if he
promised obedience to the Constitution
and the laws of the Union, and the latter
replied he would adhere to the Union,
but there was " one enactment which the
Mormons would not obey" namely, the
one fOrbidding DOlVgamy.

WI have heard some maintain that
I" a national debt is a national bless
ing" But the Nashville Banner beats
that, when it declares of the late war
that it was really a blessing in dis
guise." That is what some say about
snakes, mosquitoes and toads, but we
have never been able fully to appre-
ciate the idea. Does the Banner mean
to say that the war is converted into a
blessing becauseit believes it has fixed
universal, alias negro suffrage upon us?

THE Gfs.d Jury of the Criminal
Court is out with an expose at great
length, which appears in tO-day's
APPEAL. They have evidently Ia
bored with q great and pains-taking
assiduity to arrive at facts concerning
the interests of the county. And pre-
senting the result of their labOrs as
sworn, intelligent and respectable
men, weldire compelled to receive as
true the facts they disclose. The re-
sait * only not startling and astOund-
ing because re were prepared to eX-
peet just such a Disclosure, And yet
with all the fidelity of the 5g4V, AID
all the indefatigable industry Whic4
must have been given to the subject,
We mueh doubt whether they have
been able to ferret out a 1.-THE Of the
corrupt practices aRd pickings 0 fsome

lected for their especial virtues, they

Hre, To suppose that men of such
rare merit did pot more behind the
curtain than tEeg permitted TO
be seen outside wQQtq ba to
do them injustice as TO thedF
capacity as sharp practitioners, The
recommendations of the jury which
relate 10 abuses and economy are gen.
orally good and worthy Of considera-
ton. But We think they might well
enough have included q reduction of
the number, as well as pay, of Officials
of the county. As the County Clerk
shows a considerable amount for " in
sane expenses" we think 1t would b.
veil to have as few of the insane to
incur them as possible. We learn
that the jury has indicted a few of
them, which we hope will have the
result of diminishing either their
numbers or expenditures. The list
given by these gentlemen looks APP
palling enough. Taxpayers would
be glad to know it is q full one and no
more coming. Our legislators will
see that there is room for reform.
