No SUNsrRoKEs, The fact that there have

has created some remark. But 1t 10 hardly

politicians and wire-pullers to keep their brains
cool and their heads leyel-not literally--and.
If they 60 to the watering places, let them
abjure politics, battle frequently, live tempe

then come out fresh and in fine condition for
the fall campaign.

The DRAMA IN MoRMoNDoM. We gave our
readers yesterday an interesting letter on the
drama ut Great Salt Lake City. There the
theatre is one Of the institutions set up by the
Prophet for the amusement Of his saints. 1t
serves him good purpose in diverting the
minds of his followers from dangerous and
forbidden things. All despots must amuse
their subjects, and Brigham Young thoroughly
understands the game.

NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR.-Some of our
exchanges are intimating the probability Of
Colonel W. Forney being elected to the United
States Senate from North Carolina. Forney
ought to know how to manage the business, if
the idea be seriously entertained; for there
are but few Senatorial intrigues and lodges he
is unacquainted with. But it is not unlikely
that when the project comes up in definite

New York City as Southern summer
Resort.
The situation Of New York Is singuarly ia
vorable for health and enjoyment during the
summer months. The breezes that sweep over
1t from the rivers ON each side and from the
splendid bay below purify the air and neu-
tralize even the worst negligence Of those
whose duty it should be to remove all local
causes of pestilential disease. However
fiercely the sun may blaze upon us during the
day, our nights are almost always refreshingly
cool in July and August. Moreover so many
with trees, and in the upper part of the town
are so comfortably broad, and we have still
so many pleasant little parks within the city,
and, above all, so grand and glorious Park,
with its yearly multiplying attraction, that it
is not surprising that while large number Of
rich and fashionable New Workers spend the
summer in Europe, or at Newport, Saratoga,
West Point, Long Branch and elsewhere, no
uncomfortable number of our citizens are con-
tent to remain in town. and the place of the
~"e9Nso0o 40 "O"nuousAy SuPPAou w NioisorS
who hail from beyond the Potomac.
From all the Southern States and from the
West India Islands the influx of summer
visitors to New York had become remarkably
great before the war, and it now promises to be
greater than ever. The Southern guests who
crowd our hotels and theatres and concert
halls and stores and streets have discovered
that it is convenient to make New York their
headquarters availing themselves of the facili-
ties which are daily offered for flying excur-
sions to each and all of the favorite summer
resorts of our city. The number of such
resorts within easy access has increased to an
astonishing degree. Miller might well add to
his clever guide books for New York, the
Park, the Hudson river and Saratoga Springs,
still another, entitled "The Environs of New
York" Not few of the strangers within our
gates content themselves with morning and
evening drives In the Park and the amuse-
ment which they can find without leaving
the city. In the fall they will return even
more invigorated in health and spirits than if
they had wasted both in the ridiculous dissipa-
tions which are fashionable in most of our
Northern watering places.

GENERAL GRANT A LOVER OF MUsIC.-ln
answer to the committee of invitation from the
numerous German singing societies concerned
the President has promised, accompanied by
his Cabinet, and General Sherman, Admiral
Porter and other distinguished officials, to be
present in Baltimore this evening to attend
the prize singing at the Maryland Institute.
The festival Is the eleventh International Saen-
gerfest of the musical Germans, and over a
hundred societies will be present. Whether it
is the Italian opera, opera 6oufe, peace ju-
bilee or German Saengerfest, General Grant
evidently is q lover of music. We can pro-
mise him, too, that at Baltimore he will learn
something new of German harmony.

else thoroughly disguised with the blonde-and-

aickers behind the footlights. 1t bids fair
ere long to be completely extinguished. Even
the pugilistic combats which it has recently
provoked only feebly excite the public curios-
ity as to what mysterious connection there
may be between bogus yellow hair and real
black eyes, false calves and muscular action.
It is too hot weather to try to solve the CON

son Of ex-senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, and
son of Senator Van Wrinkle, of West Viz
ginia, appointed each to a place in the New
York Custom House at the close of Andrew
Johnsons impeachment trial, have been, with
some other parties, accused of defrauding the
Treasury. We are glad to report that on his
examination before Commissioner White Mr.
Doolittle has been honorably discharged, and
We hope that Mr.. Van Wrinkle will be able to
make as clear case Of mot guilty" These
appointments of the sons Of outside Senators
to the New York Custom House, of any party,
are not exactly! the thing, anyhow; and if
such parties come to be convicted Of frauds 1t
will at least operate to break up this vicious
system Of distributing the spoils. In the
cases in question there has doubtless been
some malicious persecution; but still the
spoils system involved is demoralizing.

An immense number OF persons visited Gomez
Island yesterday and by two O'Clock in the after
noon the beach was black with people. while hun
dreds availed themselves of the opportunity which
the briny deep afforded Of LAYING their weary and
toil-worn bodies In the SURF From an early hour in
the morning horse cars dummy engines ana BOATS
were heavily freighted on each trip to the island
with humanity OF all classes and conditions. and
for once IN their lives 1t must be SAID that the
managers of these different modes of transit from
the sweltering metropolis came punctualy ''tO
time" and ran their machines with commend
able regularity. The horse cars were run
almost momentarily from the Fulton ferry,
and several extra cars were put on
in order to accommodate the anxious crowds who
sought to escape from the confines OF brick and NOR
tar and get out into the cool breezes which blow
from the Atlantic Ocean. The scenes on the island
throughout the day partook Of diversified, yet
highly pleasurable character The hotels were
crowded. and large quantity OF the 'ardent" was
freely and v0raci0usiy consumed. yet the CLASS or
people who visited the island YESTERDAY seemed
10 DO more respectable and orderly than hitherto;
and although there were fifteen policemen, under
charge OF Sergeant. BOyce, stationed a. dinerenL
points, not the slightest Incident occurred to demand
their interference and they had nothing to do dur
iuQ the day but fall into d0ze or take quiet drink
on the sly whenever they met friend TO invite them
the hotel keepers were jubiant over the proceeds
of the DAY. particularly AZ the variable weather dur
inc the previous part OF the summer had nterfered
materially with their business.

Yesterday afternoon. at about O'Clock, portion
of the fifth floor of the bonded warehouse OF Joseph
5. Finch Co., on Chestnut street. South Pittsburg,
gave way, and the result was loss of almost ten
thousand dollars, and q considerable degree OF
alarm in the neighborhood. 1t seems that in the
fifth story OF the building stored large amount
OF whisky in barrels, the immense weight OF which
caused the floor to give way, and the entire contents
OF the upper floor came crashing through to the next
carrying thousand or more barrels from that to the
next, and so on to the bottom where over three
thousand barrels lay in confused mass over one
hundred being entirely destroyed, involving loss,
in whisky of about $4,000, besides damages to the
building amounting to several hundred dollars There
were five men in the basement of the portion of
the building, which, by-the-way was the part that
fell, and they made narrow escape from being
crushed to death.
