Summer Excursions.

With the heated summer weather come the
various expedients for furnishing the jewellers
in this city with healthful and pleasurable
amusement The theatre has become impos-
sible for all but the most inveterate lovers OF
the stage, and, for the most part, the regular
companies have dissolved or are in course of
dissolution, TO give place to the gentlemen OF
the burned cork persuasion, who with native
hardihood defy thu summer heat. These
men are salamanders and cater for beings as
freproof as they are themselves, but ordinary
humanity signs for some cooler means OF
enjoyment The rich are busy packing up
their trunks for Newport, Long Branch and
the White Mountains; but the vast number
who labor cannot order their wings and be Oh
to sea shore and mountain. Except at inter-
walls they must dwell in the heat and dust OF
the city, thankful if for fe " hours now and
then they can breathe the life-giving air of the
country. In no great city of the world
has the working population the same
opportunities of escaping out into the fresh
and invigorating air. Nature has been lavish
Of her gifts to this Empire City. The Sound,
with its marine breezes and placid waters, in
vites the excursionist bent on pleasure OF
seeking health, and the noble Hudson, full OF
romantic interest, offers scenes of beauty un-
riyalled in any land For an inconsiderable
sum the overworked citizen and his family
may enjoy the pleasures of health giving
excursion on the waters. Steamers that re-
semble floating palaces have been placed at
the service of the public by enterprise
ing spectators, and certainly never did
any speculation better deserve success.
In our advertisement columns will be
found announcements from the various
excursion lines, and the public can choose
between them. We desire to call attention to
the excellent work these lines are doing.
Their managers are truly the apostles OF
health among us, and though their aim Is
personal gain the service they render to the
public is none the less important. An effort
has been made to increase the attractiveness
of these daily excursions this season, and no
doubt the people will show their appreciation
by the increased support given to those who
cater for their pleasure. There is certainly
no better way to secure vigorous mind and
sound body than by escaping AS frequently as
possible from the crowded streets Of the city
into the pure, fresh air which can be enjoyed
to the full est extent on those excursions.

member Of our Union which was the
centre Of interest one hundred years ago. The
baptismal blood Of Warren was conservation
shed upon the whole country. All honor to
the noble State which emptied the taxed
tea into Boston harbor; which stood by the
prescribed Hancock and the two Adamses;
which was the first scene Of Washington ac-
tivity after his appointment as COMMANDMENTS
chief; and which will forever be awarded the
distinction of kidding the Revolutionary
flame and drenching its soil with patriot
blood, shed in bold, organized resistance to
British oppression. II was Massachusetts,
that struck the first great blow in that
great struggle; it was by her throes that
the whole country sends greetings and bene-
dictions to old Massachusetts, and cries,
with united voice and all its heart, God bless
her!
A beautiful feature of this centennial
occasion, which does honor not to Massa-
chusetts alone, but to the most interesting
class of her guests, is the presence of the
welcome with which they are received.
Nothing could be in better taste or
more generous in spirit than that part of

he alluded to the presence of the Southern
regiments I'm this benign work of recon-
citation" he says. ''the soldiers on both
sides have taken the lead This was to be

ments and is incapable of sullen and per-
sistent hatred. True soldiers, worthy of the
name, give and take hard blows in oil honor
and duty. and when the work is done are
ready to embrace as brothers in arms and to
let bygones be bygones in all things, except
to preserve the memory and decorate the
graves of their heroic dead-ay, and of one
another's dead. Brave men love brave men
with the magnanimity that knows how to
honor each Others courage and respect each
others motives Foemen in war, brothers in
peace-that is the history of chivalry here as
everywhere" We honor Mayor Cobb for
these noble and chiyalric sentiments, SO
worthy of patriotic Massachusetts,, and are
confident that they are not the mere etfusion
of transient hospitality. We trust these CEN
tennial occasions will bear enduring fruit,
crowning peace with reconciliation

Boston. In each case the loss in property
was nearly fifty thousand dollars, while the
Boston disaster led to a terrible loss Of

that terrible calamity to allow the
good boilers then in use to become aged and
worn but we suppose it would do no good to
ask manufacturers to discard their dangerous
machinery. Unless some fearful explosion
like that on the Westfeld should occur they
will continue to use their old boilers until
they blow up.

THE SILK SMUGGLING CASES we're all post
poned yesterday. In the case Of Lawrence
the United States District Attorney awaits the
decision Of the President with regard to the
indictments upon which the accused is to be
tried, and in the others the defendants were
not ready These cases viii attract much
attention, because they expose the system of
smuggling which was the immediate conse-
quence OF the legislation of the last Congress,
and they ought to be carefully investigated as
the basis for q new law regulating the collec-
ton of customs. In this aspect these trials
are of even more importance than in the con-
viction of the offenders.

The CURE FOR GossP. Il
cnre for gossip? Simply, culture.
There is a great deal of gossip that
has no malignity in it. Good-natur-
ed people talk about their neighbors
because, and only because, they
have nothing else to talk about. As
we write, there comes to Us the
pietnre Of family of young ladies.
We have seen them at home, we
have met them in galleries of art,
we have caught glimpses of them
going from bookstore, or library,
with fresh volume in their hands.
When we meet them, they are full
of what they have seen and read.
They are brimming with questions.
One topic of conversation is drop
ped only to give place to another,
In which they are interested. We
have left them, after q delightful
hour, stimulated and refreshed and
during the whole hour not neigh
boris garment was soiled by so much
as touch. They had somsthing TO
talk about. They knew something,
and wanted to know more. They
could listen as well as they could
talk. To speak freely of a neigh
bor's doings and belongings would
have seemed an impertinenee to
them, and, Of course, an impfopriety.
They had no temptation to gossip,
because the doings of their neigh
bors formed a subject very much
less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and
their culture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either
malicious or igorant. The one
variety needs a change of heart and
the other a change of pasture. Cos
sip is always a personal confession
either Of malice or imbecility, snd
the young should not only sh9n It,
but by the most thorough culture
relieve themselves from all temPtas
tion to indulge in it

ious faith that the taxpayers are
habitually plundered. There is
much more reason to expect that the
Roman Catholics will be practically
subjected to political disabilities
than that they viii attain a perni-
clous supremacy. In MARYLAND. Mr..
Carroll, Catholic candidate of GOOD
family and high character, has lately
been elected Governor, but in the
previous contest he was opposed on
sectarian grounds. Mr.. Reverdy-
Johnson took occasion to deliver an
eloquent and apparently successful
warning against an intolerance which
violates the fundamental principles
of American society.
"General Grants unexpected at
tack on the Roman Catholic com
munity is said to have revived his
chance of nomination for a third
time as President. 1t is even alleged
that he is seriously alarmed by the
agitation of the Catholic priests
against the common school system,
and that the elevation of Archbish-
op McCloskey the rank of Cardinal
has increased his uneasiness. If the
President is sincere, his sudden in
tervention in the controversy COIN
cides by remarkable felicity with
his political interest. 1t is not in
this instance only that be has dis
closed his sentiments on the eve of
an election. The official statement
that a threatening message had been
addressed to Spain was calculated,
like the denunciation of the Roman
Catholics, to promote the triumph
of the Republican party. General
Grant has, since the State elections,
expressed a probable opinion that
the Republicans will retain possess
sion of power for at least fours years
longer 1t is true that the Democrats
control the House of Represent a.
tives, but the Senate is Republican,
and the party will not improbably
succeed in electing a President.
Little or nothing could be lost by an
attack on the Roman Catholics. The
Irish have been always allied with
the Democrats, and, although they
have in the city of New York lately
split themselves for the moment
into two factions, it is not likely that
the followers either of Morrissey or
Kelly will prolOng their connection
with the Republicans. If there are no
Cathokc= votes to lose, there may be
Protestant votes to gain. The pre-
judiee against third term may pos
sibly yield to the conviction that
the taciturn General at the head of
the Union has become one of the
most adroit of politicians. As the
champion of religious intolerance, he
may perhaps revive the enthusiasm
which was formerly aroused by his
military exploits. For the present
he has no conspicuous rival in the
RepublieaR ranks. If the Pope at
tempted to understand American
politics, he would be surprised to
learn that his harmless promotion of
the Archbishop of New York had,
instead of being accepted as q com
pliment, furnished occasion for an
attack on his Chcrch.

which the priests have stFiyen to

Even in the city of New York,

Irish Republic, the demand has
been uniformly rejected. There is
probably no other part Of the Union
in which the Roman Catholics are
equally strong. In some of the
