r NEWPORT, August s, 1873.
The law which the author OF "Principles OF Psy-
chology" calls 'the absoluteness OF uniformities"
has begun to operate In favor OF Newport. and the
contrast between what that place now is and what
1t was few weeks ago, when my first letter was
written, Is too great to be passed over in silence
The ocean House. which is the principal hotel, is
full OF guests asponge is Of pores, piece Of
moss OF sporrles, q dictionary OF definitions
The proprietors would almost be justified in put
ting up, after the manner OF theatres, placard
bearing the announcement standing room only"
though am afraid sitting room would still be In
as much request as ever. Board and lodging, like
the kingdom OF heaven, suffer violence, and the
violent take them by force, SO that it is but little
OF figure OF speech to say that you have
to battle for your accommodations before
you can get them. Old residents declare
that 1t is repetition of the story. Here Herbert
Spencer's law comes in. Given the same condi-
tions and Newport will show the same results.
The cottages have filed up, the hotels crowded
and nearly everybody is or has been here who in-
tends TO cOme-at least among those who occupy
private residences. At close calculation the
number OF cottages either at present occupied by
their owners or rented and occupied by other per-
sons Is $50. or these about onehalf are either
owned or occupied by New Workers. or the New
Workers now living here in cottages ninety-four
own those which they occupy and sixty-nine rent
them, the owners for the most part being in Eu-
rope. And since New Workers always inter-
ested in knowing where New Workers are, let me
mention here some of those who are spending the
season in cottages promising that the word cot
tage is in many instances very insignificant word
for o magnificent fact You might as well call the
