THE TENT UNDER THE
BEACH.

1t is safe to say that of the thous-
ands who are this month Summer
ing along the beaten tracks, in the
mountains, at the springs, and be-
side the sea, but very few will re-
turn in the fall thoroughly salts
fled with the summers experience.
There seems to be a growing pref.
udice against the fashionable GEN.
tiers, and all of them are discovered
to have disadvantages which are
rather increased than diminished
by years of prosperity. To those
of limited purse, who are obliged
to consider the matter in its finan-
cial aspects, the eXorbitance of the
charges is the first and greatest OBJ
lection. The accommodations are Of

ity, and the repose of informally is
impossible. The result is, that the
American pleasure-seeking public
Is eager to find some method of
eluding the general expensiveness
and the necessity of elaborate toll
cts incurred at these centers, with
out falling into the snares of the
traditional cheap boarding house,
with its bad bread and slip-shod
society.
We have recently heard of a par
ty consisting of eight or ten famil-
les of neighbors, who after a care
full estimate of expenses, decided to
spend the summer camping out on
the shore of a beautiful lake, about
six miles from the city of M.
They took with them thirteen tents
one for the dining-room, a second
for the kitchen, and q smaller one
for provisions, etc. Each of the
others contained one or two beds,
washstand and a bureau, though
others who have tried this plan
prefer a trunk to the bureau. The
parlor consisted of sheltered
wooden platform, rusticiy fur
nished and commanded a superb
view of the lake scenery. Ham
mOcks were suspended under the
dense foliage, and here the ladies
brought their fancy work, books
and periodicals. Accompanying
the party were three COOKS and two
coachmen. A carriage and q light
wagon were sent to the city every
morning, and the freshest proVis-
ions thus supplied. Milk was
readily procured from a farmers
near at hand, where the horses
were also stabbed. Light, loose
and healthful clothing was general
ly worn. The youngsters were
dressed plainly, and turned out to
romp and gather flowers, and climb
trees, and delve in the dirt to their
hearts content. The "urchin" ele-
ment received full recognition and
encouragement, to the correspond
ing Improvement of both health
and temper. The lake afforded the
finest rowing and fishing, the air
was pure and the scenery pictures
que. Excavations of all kinds were
made in every direction, and at the
end of six weeks the party voted
unanimously to return TO the same
place in the succeeding summer.
One charm of this plan of living
is its elasticity. As many servants
and nurses can be taken as occasion
may require, and the details may
be arranged to meet the circum-
stances and tastes of the party

EDITOR News The attentions
and anxiety of the people of this
section of country have been about
equally divided between deprecat-
ing an Indian raid and hoping for
a change of weather, as the corn

ing are beginning TO wither under
the combined influence of hot sun
shine and scorching south wind.
Ii we do not get rain soon the corn
will be past redemption.
Fall wheat was excellent. Spring
wheat and oats were short.
The Indian scare is somewhat
abating, and settlers who took gen.
eral stampede from the border set
Elements a week ago are returning
to their homes. The people seem
divided in the opinion that gener-
Indian war is imminent; some
thinking that the killing and scalp
ing of the citizens Of the Medicine
Lodge district, also the four massa-
cred, and the burning of Pat. Hen-
Messy near Red Fork, was perpe-
trated by rowing bands more for
plumber than revenge. But when
Indians tic men down to wagon
wheels, scalp them and burn them
with sheaf oats, we are forced to
conclude that it is something more
than plumber that actuates them.

The citizens, many of them, are
taking II sensible view of the mat

their homes at every groundless ru-

element abates, are making prepar-
atoms to give them as good a re-
ception as possible at home. Cald-
well has been fortified to some ex-
tent and the people of the upper

the Indians will venture into the

at present and the border people are
less frightened than many who live

Is There any Profit IA sheep
Keeping:

In CHANGING over the New York
Journal Of Commerce of July IL,
we noticed a tabulated statement
of the amount of wool imported
from foreign countries by the man
ufacturers of the United States.
The statement embraced the i'm
ports from the 1st day of January
of 1873 and 1874 to the first day of
July of each of the years named,
being q comparative statement of
the amount of wool bought abroad
by this country for six months OF
the year. The figures are, indeed,
discreditable to America. Con-
slider the immensely and fertility
of this broad domain, and the fact
that good sheep can be purchased
at So. so to SD per head, yet We
imported from January l to July
l no less than 12,114,610 pounds
of wool from foreign countries.
OF this amount 1896, 400 pounds
come to us direct from England?
The land of wooden factories and
dear sheep-the country where
sheep farms are worth $500 per
acre, and skilled labor can be had
for So per week, exports wool to
America at the rate of 5000, 900
pounds per annum! exports wool
to a country where labor Is paid
SIS per week; where sheep range
can be had for the taking, and
where wool ought to be produced
at cost of not more than ten cts.
per pound unwashed! Farmers of
Missouri, of Kansas, Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and Texas, why should
this state of things continue?
Why cannot America produce
wool to export, as she does cotton
and grain? Is their no money in
wool growing, that SO few farmers
engage in it? Read this list of the
countries that are raising wool for
the American market, and wonder
how so strange thing can be:

The Islet of Sainte Marguerite forms
,r, of A cluster OF small islands known
r Hes de Lerins, situated opposite to
r.rnes, between Cape Roux and Cape
c,ronpe. The group is, rs a matter of
fact, composed of two isles. Sainte Mar
nnsrite and Sainte Honorat, which have
Sstveen them a canal 700 metres wide,
snd A few rocky excresences, the largest
~ which is inhabited, and owns the name
of Saint Terriol. Sainte Marguerite is at
a distance of about two kilometres from
The coast, oval in shape, and about seven
kilometres in circumference. On the
cast il is covered with fine forest of ma
rine pine trees, and is used as sema-
nbore station. A third class fort rises on
ibe northern brow of the islet, and is
known to mariners as Fort Croisette. 1t
was built by Richelieu, and improved by
that prince of the art of fortifcation,
vauban 1t has already served several
times as State Prison. In this very
fort the famous mysterious Man of the
Iron Mask. who has puzzled SO many
historians and given rise to so much
speculation. was shut up for seventeen
years. Lagrange-Chancel, the author of
those daring philippics against the Prince
Regent, was also kept prisoner in the
same place. Finally, during the reign of
the first Emperor, Monseigneur de Brog-
lie, Bishop of Ghent, and uncle of the
present Minister, was confined there for
some time. On the eastern point of the
island is the Redoute de la Convention.
The garrison of this fort is at present un-
important, but it is there the guard spec.

Marshal will hold its headquarters. This
guard, under the command of q colonel,
will leave at the same time as the pris.
Oner. General du Barrail, Minister OF
War, has given orders for the greatest
consideration to be shown to Marshal
Bazaine. Meanwhile there has been no
little stir made in the Republican camp
with reference to the exceptionally mild
treatment Of the prisoner since his con-
demuation, and in order to silence their
denominations, Bazaine has been obliged
to conform to prison regulations. Yes
terday. for the first time, no friends, ex
cept his family and those provided will

into the Petit Trianon. Nor is he abls
to receive or write any letters without
their having been previously opened ol
read by the officer in charge. But, &C
cording to the reports Of those who have
access to the Marshal, he has never los
his self-possession, and spends his tint
in settling his family affairs. Latterly h
has asked for guide books and dictiona
ries containing information about his mex
