The Grand Jury of Cincinnati attributes
much of the crime in society to the baneful
influence of houses OF ill-fame, and remark
that their inclination would prompt them
to punish more severely owners of such
houses than occupants. They recommend
that the Legislature should enact laws
whereby all cities might regulate such
houses by licenses, permitting them to be
kept only in certain localities. Among
parties indicted, permitting houses to be
used for prostitution, are several prominent
cjtj1ara

Last Sunday was scorching day in New
York. The thermometer at three o'clock P.
M. stood at lis in the sun, and 80 in the
shade. There was but little air stirring.
The sidewalks were almost unbearable, and
people stayed indoors. The street rail
roads almost entirely ceased running.
owing to the effect of the heat upon the
men and beasta An alarming number OF
suA-strokes occurred. Three mad dogs
were shot by the police, running at large
in the streets. The attendance at the
churches was visibly affected by the
weather. 1t was too warm to allow any
extra dressing, and so oppressive as to for
bid any display, The result was the
churches generally were very poorly at

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

QUARREL AND SHoOTINd.-Near the town
of Byram, station on the New Orleans,
jackson and Great Northern Railroad, Sc
rious quarrel took place on Monday, which
is likely to terminate fatally. The parties
engaged were Mr.. r. MCGOWAN and his
nephew, William r. Hemphill. Some fam
lily misunderstanding and old feud ended in
a street fight, and random shooting. Hemp.
hill fired five, and MCGOWAN three shots.
The latter received ball in the side of the
abdomen, which passed through the urinary
bladder. It is said by those who know the
circumstances of the family quarrel, that in
the present affair the younger man, Hemp.
hill, was the aggressor, and pushed things
to extremity. MCGOWAN lies in precarious
state, and Hemphill has not yet been ar
rested.

CAR RIDING AToP.-A good Havana is a
vicious agent, but its failings all lean to
virtues side. No individual, exuding its cloud
of aroma and reposing under it as it slowly
floats away, could be otherwise than gentle,
or conceive any thoughts but kindly ones.
But we have no business to be either stimu-
lated or anodyned into good thoughts, and
|, hence the vicious agency. These should be
normal, and worn on the brain as we wear
our clothes upon our persons, changing
them, but keeping them always genteel-or
gentle.
A daily tendency to indulge this amiable
vice in our transits up and down town, recalls
to mind the old Lafayette cars in the disrup-
ted times of ante-bellum, when seats were
provided atop for the viciousiy virtuous peo-
pie who beguiled themselves into amiable pre-
tensions through this agency of the Cuban
weed. Why are smokers of the old school
that is those who persist, at twenty five
cents apiece, in intinoadads that bewitched
them at the playful price of five cents-so
little regarded among proprietors and build
ers of street cars as to be left to this unavail-
ing longing for seats atop?
In the sultry summer, when an altitude
of over half dozen feet makes change of
air, introducing freshness and stir, it is de-
lightful to climb, by easy access, to the top
of anything-but of all things, of car and
of one not depending On the instincts of
pneumatic engine, but having mule for q
motive power, with the certainty of making
the trip. Then to be atop, with the fragrant
or we should say, fragrant Cuba, going like
smoke clean over the whole line, sensing
further fragrances-awhile from the cutters
which makes grateful the Cuban antidete,
but afterward from fields in country dress
OF corn, cabbage, cane, cotton, the superb
magnolia overlooking the whole, giving one
indescribable yearnings to be off among the
hills for the summer, which are appeased by
your real Spanish-your most reliable home
comfort.
We might not sum up these entertainments
in car riding atop, if it were not for the hope
of reaching the obdurate hearts of the cor
porate bodies, that are said to have no souls
to reach, who own cars and their privileges.
May not the little roof windows for ven.
tilation be retrenched to make room for
seats which are better ventilators? May not
multiplying seats enlarge dividends, and
thus make asumming up more affecting than
ours? May not the vices Of these corpora
tons, who universally smoke. lead them,
through our illusions, to long, as we, for
rides atop? Let them put this great sub
ject into their pipes and smoke it for real
Spanish, when we shall expect to hear from
them.
