EDITOR HERALD:-I cannot help
thinking the individual who wrote

ought to have been resident of
Southern California, for then he
might have said something of its
most prominent atribute-mud. The
copious rains have indeed been re-
freshing, as the placid smile of con-
tentment, often developing into a
broad grin upon the faces of the hardy
sons of toll will attest; but the young
people find much to thOughtlessly
condemn, since it prevents them from
putting inan appearance at the
SINGING SCHOOL.
This popular institution has recent
ly been opened, and the originality,
and withall, the proficiency of Prof.
Charley Lewis has proven a powerful
magnet to draw (dollars) young peo-
pie and music together. The Profess
sor understands his business, and
possesses the power of Importing his
knowledge. In o high degree he can
mix fiattery, money and music, in so
facinating manner that even the
more sedate members OF the COM

least fOrty-fiye summers and as many
winters have passed-may be found

The Lancaster Examiner, in an article
on the aCanada Thistle" quotes the law
and comments as follows :-aIt shall be
the duty Of every person or persons, and
Of every corporation holding lands, " on
which Canada thistle may Be growing, 3tc
cut the same, 50 as to prevent such thistle
from going to seed" under penalty Of
fifteen dollars, one half to the informer
ANY person may give FIVE days notice in
writing, and Il the owner Of the land, OIL
those whose duty it is to cut the same
down, shall refuse to DO 50, the person Civ
ing the notice shall have the right to entel
on the lands, or have other persons to entel
and cut down and destroy such thistles
and sue the owner Of the land to pay 70
the labor. This is in addition to being LA
bic to fine Of $l5
II Is admitted by all that no greater pes
can gain foothold than the Canada this

The Tent Under the Beech.

1t is safe to say that Of the thousands
who are this month summering along the
beaten tracks, in the mountains, at the
springs, and beside the sea, but very few
will return in the fall thoroughly satisfied
with the summers experience. There
seems to be growing prejudice against
the fashionable centcrs, 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 mat
ter in its financial aspects, the exorbitance Of
the charges is the first and greatest objec
ton. The accommodations are often mea-
ger and of an inferior quality, and the
reposc Of informality is impossible. The
result is, that the American pleasure-seek
ing public is eager to find some method of
eluding the general expensiveness and
the necessity of elaborate toilets incurred
at these centers, without falling into the
snares Of the traditional cheap boarding
house, with its bad bread and slip-shod So
ciety.
We have recently heard Of a party, con-
sisting Of eight or ten families of neighbors,
who, after careful estimate of expenses,
decided to spend the summer camping out
on the shore of a beautiful lake, about six
miles from the city of NJ. They took
with them thirteen tents-one for the din
ing-room, second for the kitchen, and a
smaller one for provisions, etc. Each of
the Others contained one or two beds, a
washstand and bureau, though others
who have tried this plan prefer trunk to
the bureau. The parlor consisted Of a
sheltered wooden platform, rusticully fur
nished, and commanded q superb view of
the lake scenery. H ammocks were sus.
pended 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 light wagon were sent to
the city every morning, and the freshest
provisions thus supplied. Milk was readily
procured from farmers near at hand
where the horses were also stabbed. Light,
loose and healthful clothing was generally
worn. The youngsters were dressed plain
ly, and turned out to romp and gather
flowers, and climb trees, and delve in the
dirt to their hearts content The eur
chin" element received full recognition
and encouragement, to the corresponding
improvement Of both health and temper.
The lake afforded the finest rowing and
fishing, the air was pure and the scenery
picturesque. Excursions 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 occa-
sion may require, and the details may be
arranged to meet the circumstances and
tastes Of the party.-Home and Society;

The Trade in Marble Dust.

The New York Shipping List says
We deem il proper to call the attention of
our readers to an article Of commerce daily
assuming an important position in the
market We refer TO marble dust. 1t is
but few years since the manufacture Of
carbonic acid gas was confined to but a
privileged few and then it was chiefly
obtained from whiting or bi carbonate of
soda, but the gas obtained from these OK
pensive materials was so costly as to ne
cessarily confne us uses only to objects
that could pay large profit to the manu-.
faeiurer, and naturally enhance the value
of the articles charged with IL; this led 10
competition that alifs of rade"--aud

from its comparative clicapness enabled
many to manufacture the gas ut . profit,
and still very materially reduce the prices.
This was the heading Of this article. II
will surprise many to learn that during
this season, although notably slow one
for the soda water and botiling trade, over
100000 barrels Of marble dust have been
sold in the principal cities Of the country.

Shrinks, az il drinks Its cup Of dew,
And trembles at the sound.
''No Godri astonished Echo cries
From out her cavern boar,
And every wandering bird that flies

High sweeps the deep and yengeful sea
Along its billowy track,
And red vesuyius opes its mouth
To hurl the falsehood back.

The cocoa's lofty shade

In yon fair island glade.
