THE TIMES.
Among other things, though not dream
like, Qor here we approach reality,) is the
extended article in the Times (of this city,
announcing its twen;y-sixlh birthday
which brings before me, as though | read
it yesterday, the paragraph which an
nounced the scheme before the first num-
Der was issued ave learn that Mr. Ray
mond If the Courier and EHgairer, with
George Jones as publisher is about to start
a penny paper. to be called the New York
Times, etc. ! remember the fret sign of
the new concern, painted on cotton cloth,
and stretched across the basement. 1t was
q time of prodgious application, and the
new sheet was cheered by an immediate
nopulerity. DIR. Tuihil was Its city cd
tor. and did his work well. Mr.. Ray
mond was the ''little giant" of journalism,
and msgnetized bis staff TO the extreme of
effort, OF that staff | know but one sur
vivor. This is j. w. Simonton, now man
aver of the associated press. Although
not an old man, he is one Of the veteran
journalists of this city.
WATERING PLACE NOTES.
The watering places are now reckoning
up their profits, which in some instances
are very satisfactory. The Ocean house
at Newport reports favorable season. The
Catsklll Mountain house is also well salts
fed. Those who have returned from SGr-
atogs cay that the Springs have not been
patroniZ-d to degree commensurate with
other watering places. Long Branch, how
ever, has had a fine season. A large num-
Der Of what may be called "refined soeie-
ly" has found cheap but very good board
in the vicinity Of the Catskill mountains at
SO per week. The conviction has taken ii
deep hold upon the public, as well rs on
landlords, that another seas IN lower rates
must be established. Among the occasion
al hotel failures, the name of the PtquOi
house is mentioned prominently. AS a
class, hotels have made but little money,
but they have had great difficulties to con
tend with, and these may prepare them for
subsequent success.
A BATTLE MONTH.
The recent centennial of the battle OF
Harlem Plains reminds us that September
NAV be called "batle month"; The ac-
ton referred to was II very small affair, but
it is important as being the only fight that
ever occurred on this island. The month
opens with a bloody hue, for on the first
lS10) Napoleon was conquered and Sedan
captured. September 3, 1855, the storm
ing of Sebastopol took place, which was
one of the most horrible Of such deeds OF
war. September is memorable as the an
nivcrsaly of Flodden (l5l3), in which Ear
Surrey SO defeated the Scottish cmvalTy
most of whom fell round their king. This
hattie is the theme of SCOTS "Marmion.
The same day On 17SD occurred the ac-
ton of Eutaw Springs between the British
and Americans, the latter being under com
mand of Gen. Greene. September 10
| 1913, is memorable for Perry's victory or
| Lake Erie. September IL reminds us OF
| BIandywine 171O, where Washington
was defeated by Howe. Lafayette serveC
here as one of Washington's staff, being
| the first acton in which he was engaged IL
the American service. The same day oc
Cured the battle of Maplsquet G709)
which was Marborough's bloodiest victory
over the French. September 10, 1853
| Wolfe defeated Montcalm at the plains OF
Abraham, having during the previous NIGH
performed the wonderful military teat OF
ascending the nights, which were consider
ed impregnabe In this action both COM
mauders were slain, Visitors at the cen
tennial may notice Vests picture of The
Z" Death of Wolfe which demonstrates
that if the artist had lived at the present
time he might have attained success AS t
sign painter. The came day (1S4D wit
messed the storming of Chapultepec, beng
one of SCOTS most brilliant achievements
| in that memorable campaign 1t was only
accomplished through much slaughter
which shows how truly war is the devils
work.
| MOSCOW AND OTHERS.
The 10th (lSl2) remiads us OF the burn
ing of Moscow, which, as military move
ment, was a crushing defeat of the French
The idea OF destroying a city in order tC
prevent occupation by an enemy, was moi
original with the Russians. The patriot
Henry Laurens of Charleston, wrote thu
TO his daughter in l776 concerning the at
tack on that town; "lf they do conquer i
there are men here determined to apply
the torch, and leave them no shelter.
The attack, however, was repealed. I'M
nth and 18th (lS62) recall the great batt''
of Antletam, which heralded the enamel
patton proclamation, and, therefore, WELD
