The Sweetness OF Home.

He who has no home has not the
sweetest pleasures Of life; he feels not
the thousand endearments that cluster
around that hallowed spot to fill the
void Of his aching heart, and while
away his leisure moments in the sweet
est of life's Joy. Is misfortune your
lot, you will find friendly welcome
from hearts beating true to your own.
The chosen partner of your toll has
smile of appreciation when others have
deserted, a hand Of hope when all others
refuse, and heart to feel your sorrows
as if they were her own. Perhaps a
smiling cherub with prattling glee and
joyous laugh, will drive sorrow from
your careworn brow, and enclose it in
wreaths Of domestic bliss. No matter
how humble that home may be, how des-
titute its stores or how poorly its in
mates are clad, if true hearts dwell
there it is yet home--a cheerful, pru-
dent wife, obedient and affectionate
children, will give possessors more real
joy than bags Of gold and windy honors.
The home Of temperate, industrious
and honest man will be his greatest
Joy. He comes to it weary and worn,
but the music Of the merry laugh, and
the voices Of the happy children cheer
him. A plain, but healthful meal
awaits him. Envy, ambition and strife
have n" place there, and with clear
conscience he lays his weary limbs
down to rest in the bosom of his family
and under the protecting care of the
poor mans friend.-EI.

fLoud and confined applause.
Mr.. Packard had hoped that the
action in the Tenth Ward would
not breed or ferment old sores or
difficulties. Bnt his friend Mr.,
Pinchback had: asserted so many
Objectionable things Of him that he
must reply. He had no notes OF
Senator Pinchback's speech, but he
would reply in his rambling way
from memory. Senator Pinchback,
as a prominent Republican, had re-
ceived the unanimous endorsement:
of his ward. But after this was
done, that fact was heralded
through the city as q victory over
him, Packard. It caused him to
act. What he did the result of the
election in that ward will show. He
had been denounced in no less than:
five solid leaders in the Lou1s1AN1AN
because Of this. He was the chair
man of the party's State Central
Executive Committee, and the war
was made against him by his friend
Mr.. Piuchback, urged on by others.

III is said that the president of the niece OF
railroad between Baltimore and Philadelnbi
has notified the Post Office department that
the list OF August is near at hand and that
unless his demand for increased paw for carry
ing the mails is acceded to by that date the
postal cars will be withdrawn from the road -.
and the mail bags piled into baggage and cattle
cars, as they were a dozen or fifteen years ago.

Present appearances indicate that an effort
is TO be made TO divert attention from the main
point raised in the TiltOn- Beecher affair by
leading of 10 side issues, and at the same time
10 wear out the interest and patience of the
public By publication of great GU antilles OF
tedious and confusing stuff having no direct
bearing on the case. This sort OF tactics NAV
have the desired effect en- a certain class of
people, but Il will not clear Dir. Beecher of the
terrible charges against him any more than the
ostrich secures Its safety by running its head
under the sand. In the mind of nearly all per-
sons VINO are not prejudiced for or against any
OF the actors in the sad drama, there is a deep
seated conviction that there cannot be 80
much smoke without some fire underneath.
and the only way to eradicate this conviction
ard give Mr.. Beeeher his old place in the heart
OF the public Is for him to meet the issue
sGuaTely,-by disproving the explicit and spe-
CHIC sworn accusations against him. so far as il is
possible TO prove a negative, and by explaining
10 the satisfaction of all men the cause and
meaning OF those portentous letters, the wri-
ting OF which he 30 far does not deny Mrs Til
ton has precisely similar duty TO perform be-
fore fun verdict of acquittal can be given.
How Mr. Iil'on may have appeared on cross
examination, or what sort OF husband he NAV
have been, are matters not pertinent to the
case at present. IL IS the accused not the A..
cuser who il on trial.

Is Coxgia 20 Blame ?

Whether or not 1t Is due to the proximity of
the comet 1t Is perhaps impossible to tell, bu,
the summer OF 1S74 has certainly been marked
by extraordinary, and in some instances appal-
ling, atmospheric disturbances. Scarcely a day
has passed that the mails and tele graph have
not combined 10 bring us accounts Of fearful
storms, uniting in nearly every case unparal-
leled rain falls, devastating winds, and most
terrifying electrical phenomena. And, to make
these records more impressive and sorrowfal
many OF them bring histories of great loss of
human life from one cause or the other, and
some times apparently from all three combined.
Nor do these elemental commissions seem to be
confined TO any particular portion of the coun-
Try, nor, indeed, TO this country alone. From
Europe We have accounts of similar disturb
ances, almost as destructive as here, although
probably Of less frequent occurrences; aud not
few of the islands of the sea have been de-
vastated in like manner. That these con-
ditions are In any wise or to any extent due to
the influence Of the comet we do not Of course
assert, but the question whether they are or not
would seem to be well worthy the attention of
scientists.
SO far as Washington is concerned, save
three or four excessively hot days early in June,
and excepting, also, the severe storm OF the 4th
of July, the summer has been an exceptionally
cool and pleasant one. Very little Of the weather
has been oppressive, and most OF the time, par.
ticularly at night. 1t has been delightfully."- cool.
AS distinguishing popularity Of the season, so
Tar, we may say that a steady and tolerably
strong south wind has prevailed much of the
time, which has added greatly to the personal
comfort of those who were obliged to remain in
the city. Though for the m after OF weather. m
one, not even invaIids or infants, needed to
leave il. For the most of the season the tenn
Perature has been nearer that of a mountain
resort than the traditional summer weather of
tdew&ter localities, and during not a few nights
IN July blankets have been found essential to
comfort In short, meteorological and sanitary
statistics will show that in every respect Wash
ington has been all this season one of the most
delightful and healthy places in the country
