The blessings Of Solitude.
The New York Times points out the
folly of flying to the watering places to
escape from the tolls of ones Office or
store:
Rest and quiet are practically unat-
tli nable at fashionable seaside resort,
IN dwhen these are wanting the chief
object of summer holiday is missed.
There are out-of- the-way places, how
ever, on the seashore, which precisely
answer the demands of the OverwOrked
seeker for rest. There are large, old
fashioned farm houses (says the editor,
where the table is wholesome, the rooms
comfortable, and where the world OF
fashion never comes. But the fortunate
discoverer of one of these rests cannot
keep his secret he introduces o friend
or two next season, and soon it becomes
public property. One can fancy the
delights which would be presented to
the solitary boarder at the secret farm
house. A fortnight of this perfect rest
would send him back to the city
stronger and browner man, and by
preserving implicitly the secret shared
with him by the broker, he could re-
turn the following season with q Ger
tainty that the undesirable public had
not overfowed into his private paradise
and desecrated it forever.

THE GENEVA TRIBUNAL.
The High'JOints InglOriously Resolved
into OW-JOints-Demand for
Principle %, Not Money.

NEW YORK, June 22.-The Geneva
special says the question of indirect
claims have been definitely settled, and
in a manner unexpected by members Of
the court; the American agent and con-
sui having been instructed to declare
that the United States did not seek
money awards for indirect damages, but
only desired a settlement Of principle.
Lord Tenterden, on the part of his
government, called attention to the
seventh article of the treaty, which gave
the arbitrators only authority to con-
slider the claims in relation to money
awards and to submit the same; but
since the United States have declared
they did not seek money awards for
these classes of claims, they could not
properly be entertained by the court.
The American consul thereon de-
manded a judgment in this issue by the
court. The court took time for its deei-
sion, but it is known to have decided
against the admissibility of the indirect
claims. The Judgment will be delivered
when the court meets on the twenty
sixth instant, and it is reported will be
acceptable to both governments.
An the members of the court have
left for Chamonaux. They intend re-
turning on Tuesday next, when consuls
will exchange results of latest instruc-
ton and arrange for the order of busi-
ness. During the recess, Granville will
negotiate with Fish on the subject.

Results-TWenty-flVe Firemen
Horribly Burned.

New YORK, June 22.-About seven
o'clock this morning a fire broke out in
a drug store on Liberty street, near Mas
sau. The firemen were quickly on the
ground, and while attempting to extin-
guish the flames, an explosion occurred
which injured, it is reported, twenty OF
twenty-five firemen, some of them seri-
Ously. Ambulances were provided and
the wounded men taken to drug store
in the vicinity, and had their wounds
dressed. The fire is still raging, having
spread TO the adjoining buildings. The
explosion resulted from carbonic acid.
IATER.-The fire isnow extinguished.
Loss, thirty or forty thousand dollars.

J. Harris, W. REM, Ed. Burke, F. Muir
", f. Flynn. The drug store was occu-
pied by @. A. Erkenbraeh. Some OF
the wounded men will lose their sight,
but it is believed that all will recover.
The injured firemen have all been re-
moved TO Park hospital. The explosion
occurred among some carboys of vitriOl,
which were being removed hurriedly by
the firemen. The effect was terrible.
The contents Of the store were scattered
in every direction. 1t is now reported
that Harris, Edward Burke, Francis
MurTy, and ThOs. Flynn were killed.

sion, but escaped. The infirmaTy of

THE NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET
ILArBsr REPORT By TELEeRAPH.l


NEW YORK, June 22.-Everything
quiet even for Saturday. The New
Bulletin says everything appears to
combine at present to render trade quiet.
Among the causes at work is the high
cost of the staple articles of produce,
the impetus given to the laying in of
stocks by retailers last season on that
account, over speculation in certain
classes of imported goods, the disturbing
effect of stocks and the chances of a
short, moderate business being done
during the fall on political accounts. OF
these the two first appear to claim the
most attention, as lying most directly
at the root of the evil. In foreign goods
business is at a stand still. Burlaps are
quoted as follows: u ounce, 10c; 8ounce,
10tc; 8 ounce, lie; 10 ounce, 11ic; IL
ounce, 11sc: being a reduction of &c
since the last alteration in values. 1t is
proposed to add an additional day to
the holiday time of the year among dry
goods men as compared with last year,
and to close the stores from Wednesday
evening at three o'clock until Monday
morning at eight o'clock. The July
state of the trade invites the relaxation
this season.
