A Saratoga correspondent writes: "Ihe
old beaux at Saratoga are very numerous al
present. They come here and dangle para
soils and fans in return for invitations to
parties and Germans during the winter.
This is easier than calling now and then,
which gets to be terrible bore with the
old beaux, who like their cigar and news
paper and home comforts of an evening,
and are not to be coaXed out unless
there is a swell affair with wine supper to
repay them. So here they are dangling
fans and doing penance, and next winter
they will be invited again, because they
were $50 attentive at Saratoga The old
beaux are growing bit heavy in figure, and
show few crows feet, but on the whole
get themselves up well, and, as they are ac-
knowledged society men, the young ladies'
are satisfied to have them at thesr heels.
"The old girls who are hawked about
from one watering-place TO another are also
well represented this season. These young
ladies are expert in casting die-a.way
glances, hanging their hands fin-fasblon
and in all the gushing tricks of maiden,
hood. They are striving to make the mos
of themselves with deadly effort, and are
really very stylish in their fine toilets, Will
escalloped foreheads, hair parted on on'
side, and bOnnetS pinned on captivatlngly

market for rich husbands, and could now

Resolved, That the following are among
the leading principles Of our political be

dustrial and commercial interests OF the
country has been brought about by the un-
wise legislation of the republican party, and
that prosperity can only be restored by a
change in the Administration of the Gov

grants Of public lands to corporations as
tending to general corruption, and the de-

turn to the moderate salaries and plain

made at the request OF Brigl a Young, in

Press.
FoET WAYNE, Aug. 2G.-Mr. Charles
Billings, a telegraph operator at Cleveland,
formerly of this city, has entered suit in
the Circuit Court against the Fort Hdyne
Sentinel Company for libel, on account OF a
slanderous article which recently appeared
in that paper to the effect that some years
AGO Billings married a woman in Panama;
sWindIed her out Of her fortune, some thirty
or forty thousand dollars; then abandoned
her: came to this country and married
again, and that on account of ill-trea-ment
his second wife had left him. The whole
story is claimed by Billings-and admitted
by Morse, the lO2al reporter who wrote it
to be a fabrication, based on some Idle I1I-
mors cleaned from an irresponsible party.
Mr.. Billings lays his damages at S25,OOO,
and has refused to liStento any oilers which
have been anade to compromise the matter.
Considerable indignation is manifested
against the reporter, and much sympathy
extended toward Mr.. Billings, who Is well
known here.

THERE appeared in our columns yes
terday call onvoters of the Second ward
to increase their double work tonight
of appointing two sets of delegates, by
also nominating at the same time the
Alderman and Councilmen for that
ward. While our opinion is strong
that State and city affairs win be best
managed by keeping them entirely dis
tinct, and dealing with them separately,
vet we have not adverted to the sub
ject, satisfied that the people were
pretty much of the same opinion, and
could determine the matter for them
selves. We understand the Second
ward is the only instance where It has
been proposed to deal with Legislature,
Congress and City all at once. The
publication yesterday developed a
strong feeling against it among the
best citizens of the ward in question,
and a circular was freely signed by
hundreds, which we publish elsewhere
The reasons are many and obvious why
city affairs can be best managed by at
tending to them separately.

A RELIGIOUS paper published in New
York says that the officers who take up the
Sunday collections in al least one church
complain that the new ten cent stamp IN
our American currency bears a perplexing
resemblance to the fifty cent stamp. 1t re-
quires more time now TO count large col
lection, and it does not amount to sOmllch.
Indeed, some Of these officials go so far rs
to suggest that the resemblance is employed
to conceal a cuTtailment Of giving. To
put a ten cent piece in basket at charity
collection looks as liberal as TO put in fifty
cents.
