it is very cold on the seashore and up in
the mountains, and there is precious little
fun in flirting ON hotel piazzas in over
coats and furs. And so back they conc |
from uncomfortable quarters, to which |
fashion drives them once year, to their |
comfortable homes in the city, where they |
would have been better off all the season.
They come back wearied, tired, and SICK
Not rested by season of rest, but wearied
by season of dissipation. They will rest
in their own homes month, to get strength
to 90 through the dissipation OF the winter
that is before them. But with the return
of the fashionables, New FORK looks once
more like New York. The streets are full
of pretty women prcttily dressed, the Av-
enue and the Park shine again with hand
some equipages, and the long deserted
houses uptown are once more opened to
admit the light of heaven. The theatres
| and places of amusement begin to show
| the effect of the incoming food and so do
| the retail stores. The traders-and for
that matter everybody else--are glad to see
| them home, for il means a resumption of
business, and an end of the regular sum-
mer stagnation.
IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD,
great preparations are being made for a
vigorous campaign this fall and winter.
Beecher will make Plymouth Church un-
usually lively, that public attention may
be taken from his late troubles, Fulton is
organizing a terrible raid upon the sinners,
because it is his nature to, and the clergy
men, and more active laymen, are girding
aggressive warfare. Moody and Sankey
are to be here TO assist, and all the church
es haye determined to stand behind these
now famous evangelizers, and give them
all the help possible.
1t is probable that an enormous building
something like Barnum's Hippodrome
, will be erected for these men, which viii
be the centre of religious action for th'
city. That they do a vast good here ther'
, can be no doubt. If they can convert th
, Democratic leaders of the city, it would b
a result for which, as in the old times, the,
I would have been canonized. If they worl
!, with as much zeal and effect as they did il
o England, they will make it possible for th
Republicans to carry the city next year
If the rum mills could only be closed, thei
!, chances of efIecting something would b
o better. But with thousands Of bars KEEP
4 up and made a power by thousands G
thieving politicians, the tendency dowr
p ward is terrible. However, if Moody an
y Sankey can stir up the decent men of th
ciUy to an organized movement on the rur
shops, they will have accomplished wor
g that will entitle them to the gratitude {
r the city for all time to come. They car
: not but do good, and they cannot commend
d too soon.
h BUSINESS
r. still continues fair, and, if anything, is in
proving. There are large numbers of me
chants from all over the country here, an
they are buying with tolerable freedom
| While it is not the old-time rush, businel
is 50 much better than it has Eeen, ;hi
everybody feels encouraged. The jobbel
- look for still better trade later in Il
= season.
INITIATION IN THE CITY.
The meeting last Thursday night ;
Cooper institute, to endorse the DEM
| cratic infiationists of Ohio and Penrsy
;, vania was failure. The speeches wer
10 dull and heavy, and they did not succee
40 in interesting the not large audience pre-
,o ent. There were more expressions of di
70 sent than assent, and its only effect was
show that imitation has no adherents her
: The merchants and business men general
,t of the city have too much worry with
al shifting currency, not to desire ardently
+. get back to something like solid groun'
1t was not comfortable thing to ha1
h. your goods deprecated 8 per cent. in da
, by the fall in gold, particularly when thi
~ fall was the work of a lot of spectators
=, Wall Street, whose action no one coul
q foretell or prevent. They want currenC
which is The same today as 1t was yestel
80 day, and will be the same 10 morrow, :
-, that they can calculate with some degr'
70 of certainty. And think they are righ
: No greater calamity could befall the cou
try than the wild speculation that wou
70 ertainly follow the increase in the volum
oil the currency that the inhationists
:, Ol,io and Pennsylvania are demanding.
THE WEATHER
? is splendid, and New York Is now d
70 light. The health of the city is good.
