How Much we spend in Summer.

An estimate of the amount of money spent bv
city people in the country during the summer
vacation would be interesting if it could be
reached. OF course in making up such a calcu-
lation some guessing would have to be used, and
the result could only be an approximate one af-
ter all The speculation is worth a trial, how
ever. The season averages ten weeks; that
is, from the end Of the third week in
June to the beginning Of the second
week in September. The most diff
cult data to arrive at is the number Of people
who leave town during the summer for longer
or shorter time. Many families stay the sea-
son through at their houses. Others spend it
travelling, with occasioal sojoLrns at Saratoga
Niagara, Cape May, Newport, Long Branch, and
possibly the Virginia Springs. But the men of
business can get away but from one to two
weeks. The average time OF absence, therefore
may be placed at five weeks. or the 1,500, 900
people living in the cities of New York and
Brooklyn 1t may not be unreasonable 10 estimate
that 100000 (men, women and children) or one
in fifteen, are able to take the summer vacation.
The cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Bos-
ton furnish another 100000 and cities Of
the South and West perhaps thrice, as
many again. So that we may cslcu-
late that as many as 100000 people leave their
homes during the summer months and expend
money for their entertainment throughout that
region bounded by the Kennebeck in the east,
the St Lawrence in the north, the Virginia
Springs in the south, and the Alleghanies in the
may obtain poor board and lodging at SIS per
week, including washing the most expensire-
those who inhabit the high class hotels at the
watering place. and ride and drink wine-do so
at a cost Of from SlO0 to $500 per week. Much
the larger number Of people, however, keep be-
low SIS per week. Suppose we strike an average
and call 1t S25 per week for each person, the re-
suit is as follows 100000 people at S25 per
week equals Sl2,5O0,000 which, multiplied
by five weeks, equals S65, 0,000, 10 this
sum must be added travelling expenses. Proba-
bly, the business man who runs out into the
country for week fnds the cost no more than
a couple of dollars, but the man of leisure who
is travelling continuously, may spend $500 in
railroad and steamboat fares during the season.
| We must get somewhere between these extremes
suppose We call it an average of 500 for each
person; ZOO at $50 equals s25,000 900, which
added to expenditures for board and lodging,
makes say in round figures, 800, ,000,0 900 distri-
buted by tourists and pleasure seekers during
the summer among the country landlords and
landladies and the railroads. II anybody thinks
he can cipher nearer the mark than this, says
the New York World, he is at liberty to try.

OUR ExpATRIATEp couNTRYMEN

The Nation Is greatly and very reasonably ex-
ercised over the yearly increasing Hegira Of
Americans, too dainty in tastes and feelings for
the rough hewn conditions Of our comparatively
new American life, who are now to be found in
considerable numbers in nearly every attractive
European town, not as transient visitors but as
settled residents, and who are often, it is said,
just those cultivated and high-toned people
whose absence is sensible loss to our civiliza-
ton. The Nation considers that it is mere
absurdity to preach patriotism to these recreants
since mo people in the world stay at home be-
cause they ought but because they like it, and do
not love home and country from a sense of duty
any more than they love their mothers"
The remedy proposed for this state Of things
by our Jupiterian contemporary (who surely
nods little this time is the simple one Of max
ing our country fit for these high-toned people
to live in by reforming every thing that is amiss
in our civic institutions. 1t considers that "a
learned and upright bar, respectable and puri-
fed custom house, an enlightened and efficient
Treasury and painstaking post Office and other
similar tribes. would act as a kind of sublimated
salt on the tails Of these shy birds, tempting
them home again.
With all due respect for the Nations judg-
ment in general, we do not agree with it in this
particular Such reforms as are indicated are
excellent ends to attain, but inefficient as means
to retain our expatriated Sybarites. 1t is easy to
ascribe to extra delicaey of moral feeling a dis
taste for home which has its root in much more
ignoble and selfish sentiments but those who
feel most keenly our national derelctions are
F..
their reform, not to run from them like towards.
''The love Of home and country from a sense OF
duty" is motive power with many, thank
Heaven, strong enough to compel to duties even
the most uncongeniali and our country, at any
rate, still has more to be proud of than ashamed
for, be the flaws on our diamond what they may.
