convicts. At night one may see them
crowded upon the stoops and sidewalks,
trying to get breath of cooler air. 1t is a
painful spectacle, and one which

able places in the city arc the editorial and
composing rooms of the ECentRq Post and

they enjoy a fine breeze, which renders
them delightful places of summer industry.
Editors who have such advantages need no
trip to the country.
DISAPPOINTED.
The claimants of the Stewart estate must
take their place among the victims of dis
appointment You have already announced
that the surrogate sustains the will. Judge
Hilton has triumphed, and begging letters
will be discontinued The JUICE is con-
6rmed in his grand estate, and the claim
ants must submit to the ordinary fate of
mortals-disappoi They pay ap-
peal from the surrogates decision, but ii
will be Of no avail the $50 600 900 is out
of their reach This decision thus tar set
ties the ownership Of the grandest estate
that has ever been contested in America
Judge Hilton, however has not got over
his troubles. The fall trade will be very
trying time, and the absence of the great
head of the house is already felt in very
striking manner. While he lived he was
the autocrat of trade, and rode over all OPP
position in triumphant manner; but it is
yet to be seen whether his old rivals may
not now take satisfaction. Last year Stew
arts grasping disposition reached its height,
being illustrated by his Saratoga store
When.a man who had two warehouses IN
this city, one in Boston and another in
| Philadelphia, and who had reached the dig
nifty of $50, 600 600, begins to break down
country merchants, Just as he has broken
down the merchants of this city, then it
seems time that a check should be put to
his over-vaulting ambition. ! do not say
that Stewart broke down any Saratoga mer-
chants but he began the effort, and had his
life been prolonged he might have succeed
ed. 1t is evident that such wss his dispos-
ton, and few outsde of his own warehouse
mourn his absence or desire his return.
A WORD TO CITY FOLKS.
Society generally speaking, is out of
town. Everybody that has got a country
friend is making the latter useful in the way
of visit. The country folks are, in many
instances, having hard time. 1t is bad
enough, TO get through this heated spell
without any additional burdens. there
fore recommend city guests who are rural
zing to show as much consideration as pos
sible for their hospitable friends. Be not
too exacting your requirements. Do all
that you can for yourselves Remember
that country people do not have city mark
cts to supply varied dishes, and generally
are compelled to use a homely and uniform
fare. Country folks, also, in many cases
do their own homework. and this, in sum-
mer. is very trying. While you may be en-
joying yourself in the shade, your friend
may be roasting over cooking stove in
order to get up dinner for company.
Keep your children within hounds They
are not expected to pluck the flowers, nor
indulge in other mischief By observing a
few such rules you will much abate the
burden of such visitation. One Ct the pc
culiar nusances attending the rush to the
country Is the occasional nurse or dressing
maid These creatures are full of imperti-
nent remarks and mischief making gossip,
and they generally prove troublesome in va
rious ways. Country people seldom retail
ate on their New York friends, and when
they do make q winter visit it is usually
brief. On the other hand many country
family is compelled ali through the hot
weather to entertain a city cOterie which
honors them by their presence. Let me
again say to the latter, be as considerate as
possible.
TAMMANY NOTES.
There are signs of upheaval in the old
wigwam. John Kelly is now grand sachem
and also chairman of the committee of or
ganizaton. 1t is now said that he had been
invited to resign, but has declined. An eff
fort has also been made to have the general
committee reorgauized, so as to give it at
least one respectable name. To accom-
piish this it is proposed to put on Abram
). Hewitt, who Is very worthy man.
This, however, cannot be DONE Tammany
would not be Tammany were il respecta-
BILE. The present signs indicate an approach
ing war of intense severity between the
factions of the so-caled democracy. These
factions are commonly known as Old Tam
many and Young Democracy. The one is
led by John Kelly and the other by James
O'Bren. The latter is a young man of 81
years of age, and has great muscular pow
er and strength of will. He was brought
up a stonecuttcr, but early in life became a
politician, and was an alderman as soon as
he reached manhood. 1t is claimed by his
friends that he neither drinks nor chews
tobacco. IF this be the case, he is certainly
a rare bird. O'Brien was elected sheriff
before he was 90 years old, and this gave
him an ,tiice whose fees are more than
81 900 week. During this time he was
waging war on Tammany, and tits claimed
that he did the most toward the collapse of
the ring. AT any rate he spent the largest
part of his fees on the fight.
Ills ANTAGONIST.
John Kelly, the riugleader of Tammany,
is professional politician, and has, like
O'Bren been sheriff He is an admirer Of
Tweed, whose downfall is still lamented by
the party. He went to St. Louis to defeat
Tilden, which was the great effort of the
Tammany men, but after all they were com
PEELED to swallow the bitter pill. Tam
many cannot be reckoned true TO the cause,
and no doubt the Tilden men would be
glad to have o change in its rule. There
is much division even among friends for
instance, the Express is owned by Erastus
Brooks, Augustus Schell and others
Brooks is member Of the Young pemoc-
racy, while Schel is one of the Tammany
fossils. AS soon as the warm weather abates
we shall see lively time among these
patriot politicians, who have SO long COM
manded the admiration of
THE HERMIT IN New YORK.
