MR.. SEWARD
Arrived here last week, en- route for the Orient,
and is stopping with Judge Hastings, promin-
ent Democrat. The noble old statesman looks
somewhat htigued after his long journey across
the Continent and has been confined to his room
for couple of days from ndsposition. He de-
clines all public invitations, and has kept HIM
self in strict privacy. The Anti-Coolie Conven-
ton tried to bother him with delegation, and
had no more sense than to invite him to visit the
slums of Chinatown. This is the only annoy
auce he has received for even the unterri6ed En-
dmjaer has refrained from its usual savogery, and
forgot to allude to the murder of John Wilkes
Booth and Mrs. Surratt
FLEAs.
Since our Rev Dr.. Stone in his lecture to the
Bostonians did not deem it beneath his dignity
to refer to the subject of neas, | need not hes-
tote to conclude my letter with reference to
the same vile insects. During the last few days
there has been n perfect pauge Of the little
pests Churches, theatres, street cars, and
other public places have been rendered so many
purgatories and it almost seems rs if another
Moses had stretched out his hand and resolved
to punish our iniquilies by means o; these pcsti-
ferrous, vilainous irritaors Their attacks are
merciess, aud | still shudder at the recollection
of one vicious monster, who like Macbeth mur-
dered sleep, while was nodding to the drowsy
hum of Dr. Scotts sermons on Sunday night.
Our fall heas have already been noted for blood
thirstness, but this year their lerocty passes all
endurance. SORIBBLER.
