The Season and the Boarding.


NEW YORK, August 6, 1869.
The Season and the Boarding.
This week is the commencement of the be-
ginning of the time when the clearinghouse
keepers begin to pick up courage and customers.
Inklines of what the autumn and winter season
is to do for them in the way of filing their
rooms begin to drop in, and the letters OF lodg-
ings have began to experience the lluttcr caused
by anticipated occupants of rooms offering yari-
GUS degrees of comfort and convenience. Per-
maps English ladies, reduced to the necessity OF
taking a few inmates into their family, fare the
worst for they have not lived long enough in
the city to become acclmated TO its institutions,
and various young American gentlemen, am
sorry to say, who have not been brought up
quite as scIupulously as they might have been,
deem them fair game for victimization. But, in
fact. the English and the Anne ricans do not get
along well together in this city as inmates OF the
same house This is true, indeed, of other cities,
but particularly 50 of New York, because here
every Amercanisrn asserts itself more glaringy
and Extensively (when il is of an offensive
nature) than elsewhere. Consequently when
Mrs. Albion advertises herself as n widow lady
willing to receive two single gentlemen, or a
gentleman and bis wife (Of the most undoubted
respectability) as members Of her family, at the
very first interview between the advertiser and
the party responding 80 lhe advertisement, the
Americanisms fly out on the one side and the
Anglicisms fly out on the other, and Greek lire
is not more infammable in it, nature than such
material as this ''Youre an English lady /
believe" says Mrs. KnickerbOcker, for let Mrs.
Albion place her his ever 50 correctly, hel
nationality is detected in a nameless accent at
the first word she utters. ''Yes,' responds Mrs
Albion. SIM proud to say am English.' "Oh'
ali? [ thought So" continues Mrs. Knicker
booker "Sorry to give you 30 much trouble
but think we prefer residing with an American
lady!" and the parties sever in mutual disgust
Mrs. Albion has herself assured me Cshe is the
widowed daughter of "a retired Brummagei
green-grocer, and has been used To very dller
ent thinks" in the old country that she has IIle'
in vain to win The American heart She prooa

gested by our correspondent. by power trans

most feasible mode would apparently be by

The keokuk Conventioners get more ride ule
than aprlause. The Chicago Tribune, in its
spin. Of banter, pats them on the back and
calls them bully boys for s'resolving" the re-

The horrors which attended the loss of lite
at the Ayondale ceaI mine are now heightened
by painful runors prevailing at the scene OF
the disaster last week that the AyondaIe rnius

and the Welsh q strong animosity is said to ex.

quently taken place between them at different
points between WiIkesoarre and Carbondale.
and out OF this leng continued hostility these
reports have unquestonably grown. One man
states that the brattIee meaning the csntre
partition of the shaft, was less burned below
than above, and that il il were SET on fire from
tne furnace in the mine, the lower part would

he saw traces Of kerosene oil on the edge OF the
tunnel a third alleges that il was sasy for
any one to reach the shaft and fire the brattIce

Coupled with these stories is a report that an
Irish miner recently said that the "nanny-
goats" aIluding to the Welsh, "wouId go
down the shaft some day and never come up
alive"
These rumors have been discredi,ed as too
horrible for belief, but a CORES pondent of the
New York Herald furnishes 10 that paper of
yesterday Sunday two columns of the evi.
dence az the inquest IN progress at the mine
and sums up as follows.

conclusion 10 accept than that the mine was

On the ether hand IT is eontended that assum.
