The Miseries OF Street Car Travel.
With the mercury up in the nineties and 9
pitiless sun converting New York into u huge
oven those who are obliged to remain in the
city experience much difficulty in keeping
themselves in any kind of comfortable condi-
ton. The beautiful Park, of which the
metropolis may justly be proud, affords wei.
heat-sufering family after the sun has de-
clined to the horizon. There are other re-
treats up town and in the suburbs equal in
attraction to anything afforded by the watering
places At Thomas Garden and on the banks
of the East and Harlem Rivers an hour Of rest
and enjoyment may be obtained every day.
But to reach any of these desirable
oases in the desert of metro
politan Summer it is necessary to ride
in the street cars. The amount of suffer-
tive injury one has to endure OF the bands of
the conductors and drivers of these cars is suf-
icient to counterbalance the pleasure and en-
joyment realized at the end of each trip. The
story of street car outages is of no recent
date, but it meets with indifferent hearers in
the sordid and heartless corporations to whom
interests SO dear to the city are entrusted
On some of the east side lines this Summer
this evil has become intolerable, and the Park
and its charming retreats seem to be prnc-
tically shut out from o large proportion Of
downtown residents. When on indignant
passenger relates his or her wrongs to the
public there follows the usual whine of the
overworked driver or ill-paid conductor" as
if that would be q sufficient excuse for inso-
lence and abuse. Many families are COM
PEELED to endure the heat in the best way they
can in their own houses, not venturing to
trust themselves in the evening to the tender
mercies Of rufianly conductor even as far as
Fifty-ninth street. Overcrowded, il-venti-
lated cars, each with its squad Of thieves and
drunken rowdies and insolence, profanity and
general ruffianism are not calculated to inspire
any peaceable person with desire to visit
those sylvan retreats $50 near and vet so far. I"
As for the directors of some Of the city rail-
roads, they are profoundly Indifferent to the
rights and demands of the public. As long
rs they can pocket their dividends and make
those coveted articles as large as possible the
conductors and drivers may do what they
please to outrage the feelings of street cal
passengers.

FIRSTLY, THE 1sr OF july; secondly, the
10th Of July; thirdly, the 18th Of July,
were the periods assigned by the city authori-
ties for the removal of that fetid focus of
foulness, the bone boiling and offal rendering
establishments on the North River. And yet
they still remain to impregnate the air with
their Installations of poison. How much
longer, o ye cowardly city rulers, must the
abomination continue2

he Proposition to Fund the City


The Proposition to Fund the City
Debt. |
Supervisor Van Schaick has submitted to
the Committee on Finance of the Board of
Supervisors proposition for funding the city
debt which is worthy consideration. 1t is to
create loan of one hundred and fifty million
dollars at five per cent interest and payable in
a hundred years. With the proceeds he pro-
poses to pay off the present debt estimated OF
one hundred and ten million dollars, which
bears seven per cent interest, and to apply the
balance Of forty million dollars to city improve
ments either projected and commenced or that
may be deemed useful He supposes, Of
course, that the loan would be foated at par.
We do not see why Eve per cent city bonds
having such q long time to run should not be
disposed of at par. In that case the interest
on the whole one hundred and fifty million
dollars would not exceed that which the city
now pays on its debt, while q round sum OF
forty millions would be obtained for improve
ments. If the loan can be made and the sur
plus sum realized be properly applied the
city would gain great deal by the financial
operation. There is much to be done in the
way of improvements much that is necessary
and that would add greatly to the value OF
property and business-but our citizens are
not willing to increase the yearly interest bur-
den at present The plan of Mr.. Van Setback,
If it can be carried out would furnish the
money needed for improvements without in
creasing the burden of taxation. The propo-
sition deserves consideration.

the young it will, we trust, never fail TO COM
mand its mines in every school and village
throuehou the land. The English game Of
cricket has never had tho consideration here
which ns game it deserves. The popularity
of base ball will perhaps account for this
more than anything else. La Crosse, too, Q
capital game, has never managed to
get much south of the Canadian
line. Running and walking races are among
those which are as old as man and will endure
as long they should be encouraged every
where, and regain something of their ancient
eminence as sports. Here again we may mole
the baleful influence OF the professionals. A
twc-mile foot race will be among the sports
tomorrow II the ''manly art has fallen
into dsrepute it is because the gentlemen Of
the p r. have of late proved themselves
indiherently plucky and especially mercenary.
W. do not for moment desire that anything
should save prize fighting from deserved ex-
tinction; but Tom Hughes, Charles Reade
and Bulwer have made us wish that muscular
Christianity here knew more about boxing
gloves than Deringers. The "turi" hos ON
immortal charm which, 1t seems, no
amount Of jockeying can destroy, and for
its example of equestrian exercise we
hope it never will decay. A handsome
young man can display his figure and do him
self mere good on the back Of one horse than
behind pair. There is another outdoor
anrus1uleS: which, however suggestively grim,
should receive more attention than it receives
namely, rife target fring-not on the debauch-
ing, begging plan Of the politicians target
companies, which, Heaven be thanked, are no
more, but in connection with the volunteer
regiments of every State in the Union. The
matter has been brought to fine point OF ex-
cellence in England and Belgium, and should
not be neglected by US.
The subject of calisthenics is wide one,
but the advantages of regular gymnasium
have been demonstrated 30 abundantly that
we need only note with qualification their
rapid rise and spread In Germany they have
had great deal more to do with her late VIC
tories on the field Of battle than people suIs-
pect, and to that class of our youth to whom
outdoor sports are all but denied they are
invaluable.
To our young men in the various colleges
of the land We would recommend the legend
of Hercules for study. When they leave Alma
Mater behind them it will need no oracle of
Apollo to tell them that the field tor their
labors is o wide one. Coming to shape in q
large degree the destinies of q generation,
they will find Nemean lions, Lernean hydras
and Erymanthian bears in their path which
mere book requirements will not master.
Quickness of eye, readiness of hand and q
quantum Of trained physical forces will often
help out the brain when difficulties accumu-
late OF danger is ahead A continent is ours,
young athletes, not small peninsula and q
few islands, and We need every manly quality
OF hand head and heart to make it more than
it is the prosperous home of great and free
people. All the labors of Hercules together
are inconsiderable by the side of this.

lungs are perfectly healthy. Tendencies to
disease in the heart may, under the trainer
severe coaching, be developed into the disease
itself, and rheumatic and pulmonary diseases
are frequently brought into deadly activity by
too great and prolonged strain upon the
frame. The man sound in wind and limb can
generally go through q course of moderate
training with positive benefit The sum of all
advice on the matter is-Do not train at
all unless competent medical authority
assures you that your system can bear it, do
not train too highly in any case.
The sport of the ''scull' and ''sweep," OF
course, does not cover the manly sports and
exercises, on the growth of which we have to
congratulate Young America. Yachting has
obtained o position here which Europe may
well envy, and all the indications are that
the future Of our white-winged sea-skimmers
will be still more brilliant. 1t is,
unfortunately, sport not within the reach
Of so many as boating, but it is better
for the wealthy than most of the lazy
modes Of spending money, and has health,
cheer and manliness to recommend it,
Canoeing, as ON organized sport, has made
great strides within very few years, and, of
course, what can be said in favor OF the oar
is true Of the paddle. If base ball has lost
some of its highest interest the crack clubs
have themselves to blame for it. Ugly rumors
about games not played with view to gain
honor by winning, but money by losing, have
injured what we have grown TO call the
Irrational game" As healthiul sport for

Yarmouth Sweet Corn.
YARMOUTH Sep. %, 1873.

YARMOUTH Sep. Y, 1873.
To the Editor Oft Press:
very much doubt If many of your readers
are aware of the extent to which the prepara
ton of hermetically sealed goods is being
carried in this State. A visit to the various
establishments of j. Winslow Jones, for call-
ming sweet corn, and other articles, will Con-
vince one that it has come to be very i'm
portant and extensive branch of industry.
His corn factory at this place is now in the
full tide of successful operation, giving profit
able employment to more than two hundred
people of both sexes. 1t has a cutting ca
pacity of $4,000 cans per day, and contains
fifteen bath kettles, with capacity of 1900
cans each. 1t has facilities for securing out.
labelling. and boxing A. 900 cans per day. 1t
is the intention to put up 275, ZOO cans at this
factory the present season. The supply of
corn is furnished from two hundred and
seventy-ive acres planted by the farmers in
ity.
1t is claimed and admitted that the soil in
and about Yarmouth is peculiarly adapted to
the raising CT this delicious and healthy
cereal; so well has this fact become
known that yarmouth sweet corn
has attained worldwide repu-
utation tor its excellent favor, which
far surpasses that PIT up in most other places.
This together with the fact that it is sealed
in very perfect manner, rendering it per-
fectly Interchangeable in any climate, is causing
it to be much sought after for sea purposes;
and large quantities are being annually dis
post d of for this use. 1t is highly priced by
the sailor; and is esteemed as not ony one of
the most delicious. but mist healthful luxu-
ries available for long sea voyages.
In this connection am reminded of the
fact that Mr.. Jones is the only party who
puts up sweet corn at Yarmouth; the efCra
his corn is really the only Yarmouth Sweet
Corn in the market.
Tue factory at this place is unie the i'm
mediate supervision Of Mr.. Joseph Knight,
veteran in the business, who enjoys a reputa-
tlf n second to none in this country, in the
preparation OF the various kinds OF hermet-
ically sealed goods. He deserves much credit
for having instituted perfect system of bu>i
ness and discipline throughout the whole es-
tablishment-all departments of which move
along with the precision of clock-work. Mr..
Knight is ably sisted IN his various duties
by Mr.. Albion Seabury. Mr.. E. Ii. Rdmsdell,
and others, who have been employed from
year to year since the factory was started.
The management of this establishment affords

STUDENT STANDARDS OF BEAUTY.-The
staudard of be.uty varies widely In different
countries. The American student who can
boast OF finely waxed moastache, or, better
still, a pair of 'Enelish sides,' or an imperi-
al, and sink his lead, however insignificant,
into tall silk hat and arm himself with
club cane, regards himself as wort " model
tor imitation, ard has calm disdain for his
less favored comrades. In Germany, however,
no such small vanities ale ieende by the
students. Dark cloth eaFs, with white, -ed
or yellow bands, which give their weaiers a
sly, thievish look. are the commcn head COW
erii 9. and for decorations OF the face, moth
ing will satisfy the froIicsome Teuton but a
few slasbes and scars 'more honorable than
these of war" A Heidelberg student of
three years stapding, who bas not had his
face slashed and marked with swoId cuts is
regarded as a coward, unless he has the proud
record of having done his share in slashing
and marring the faces of one or more Of his
fellow students. Dueling at Heidelberg is,
however, more of an amusement than seri-
Gus matter, and is really burlesque on duel
lists. Nothing more serious can come OF it
than scar on the face, as the swords used
are too light to cut, and projections tor the
eyes and the body are always worn.
