WATERING PLACE LETTERS and from sum-
mer resorts generally are supposed by some
mortals who, like Sir Charles Coldstream,
shave seen everything, done everything"
and found nothing in it,, to have same
ness about them from year to year that be-
comes at last intolerable. We do not SYM
pathize with rhomme blasf, tho misanthrope,
or the bilious man, and certainly
not with the man to whom pen picture of
the changing life at our spas, our mountain
paradises, or our seaside summer cities is as
sawdust in the mouth of the thirsty. We
suppose the Old Man in the Moon must think
there is deal of sameness about the world
he circles round; but while il is the same
old world even we, who have lived but our
little day. have seen an interesting change
or two upon it. To the young, the hopeful
and those who carry green heart into old
age, our letters from Saratoga, the White
Mountains and Long Branch will. we are
sure, prove worth the trouble of reading.

BOLD BEN BUTLER has not only hoisted
his flag in the Congressional race in Massa-
chusetts, but has flung out his whip from
the masthead of the yacht America, which
he will sail against all comers. The Gen
eral has so often raised breeze and rode
before it, and so often, when it was blowing
great guns, crawled up to windward in Con-
gress and out of it, that the public will not
be surprised at his making sail at sea while
making his canvass on shore.

HoNon TO THE BRAvE.-The order of Gen
eral Terry thanking three privates of the
army for their valor in going out as volun-
teers through the Sioux country with de-
spatches to Crook was q graceful act. 1t is
impossible to conceive of deed of greater
courage. The rule in the English army is
more exclusive than with us. There no
private soldier can ever be mentioned in
general orders The battle of Inkermann
was saved to the English by the bravery and
military skill of soldier. Yet although this
obscure man protected the honor of
England, his name could not be enrolled
with England's heroes We are glad that no
such discrimination exists with us. and
we think that Congress before its adjourn
ment should recognize the services of the
three humble privates who have won the high
praise of their commanding general.

The POUND LAw.-The Pound
Law went into operation last Thursday,
and industrious Marshal Crook was
seen early in the day vigorously twist
ing the tail Of stray calf on the way
to the temporary purgatory, the pound.
Ere the day closed FIVE or six head Of
cows and calves were shut up, most
If them will doubtless be redeemed by
the owners, which they can do within
five days by paying 81. Many people
complain of the unjust operation of the
Ordinance. There are poor people
living in the limits who keep cows up
on which they largely depend for a
living, and who are unable to keep
their stock off the common. They say
If the ordinance is not moderated they
will have to sell their cows, and one
man says he will move out Of town.
The excuse which applies to these
milch cows cannot be applied to any
other stock. With the exception Of
milk COWS all cattle, horses, hogs, sheep,
ETC., should be prohibited from the
commons of the city, and there are linn.
its wherein mich cows should be pro.
hibited. The busiest corners on Main
Street where farmers hitch their teams
and leave their wagons to stand with
produce, hay, or any articles of value
to them, should be protected from all
stock whatever. Because A. who
lives OH the corner of 9th and Main
Streets keeps cow that climbs into
farmers wagons, therefore impound Be-
cow which ranges altogether away from
Main Street up north Of the Public
Square, of course this is unfair. 1t
has been suggested that the Council
modify the ordinance 30 as to allow
inllch COWS to range upon the commons
Of the city. but to prohibit them from
the business portions Of town, say
on Main Street as far as 9TH, and
one block off cas-. and west. We
do not wish to advocate any unjust
determinations, but it does seem jul t
that If an ordinance is to be passed
against milk cows, it should be made to
operate only against those people whose
cows do damage, and the way to get 1t
it is TO make the limits cover, as near as
practicable, the localities where the
damage is done. The Council ought
to modify the ordinance, and doubtless
will when they ascertain the wishes of
the people in regard to it.

Adanl's First Wife's Revenge.

The old Hebrew cabalistic legend Of
Lilith, the first wife of Adam, is told by
M. d. Conway, in his lecture on the
Devil, in language which is as beautiful
as a finished poem. She was cold,
passionless, splendid beauty, with won
drous golden hair. She was created
Adams equal in every respect, and
therefore properly enough refused to
obey him. For this she was driven from
the garden of Eden, and Eve was Great
ed, made to order, so to speak, of one of
Adams ribs. Then the golden-haired
Lilith, jealous, enraged, pining for her
first home in Paradise, entered in the
form of a serpent, crept into the garden
of Eden and tempted Adam and Eve to
their destruction. And from that day
to this Lilith, cold, passionless beauty,
with golden hair, has roamed up and
down the earth, sharing the sons of
Adam and destroying them. You may
always know her dead victims, for when
ever a man has been destroyed by the
hands of Lilith you will always find a
single golden hair wrapped tight around
his lifeless heart. To this day, many
and many a son of Adam is still lured to
death and ruin from having the golden
hair of a woman wrapped too tight
around his heart. This is the moral.
Has not Lilith been revenged?

A Boy on Heads.

Heads are of different shapes and
sizes. They are full of notions. Large
heads do not always hold the most.
Some persons can tell just what man
is by the shape of his head. High heads
are the best kind. Very knowing peo-
pie are called long headed. A fellow
that won't stop for anything or anybody
is called hot-headed. IF he isn't quite
so bright they call him soft-headed; if
he won't be coaxed nor turned they call
him pig-headed. Animals have very small
heads. The heads of fools slant back.
When your head is cut off you are be-
headed. Our heads are all covered with
hair, except bald heads. There are other
kinds of heads besides our heads. There
are barrel heads, heads to sermons-and
some ministers used to have fifteen
heads to one sermon; pin heads, heads
of cattle, as the farmer calls his COWS and
oxen; head winds, drum heads, cabbage
heads, at loggerheads, come to head,
heads of chapters, head him off, head of
the family, and go ahead-but first be
sure you are right. Young american,

Soft SOan as a MeanOn.

The most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
it cleaned out band of savages. "Soft
soap" was first most effectually applied
in this country by the Swedish women
who defended the old Qog) Swedes'
church below Philadelphia, before the
city was laid out. Afriendly squaw gave
notice of an intended attack by the In
dams. The Scandinavian ladies were
boiling soap, and they at once concluded
to convert the contents of the kettle into
ammunition of defense. They lifted it
into the church, with fire-wood to keep
it hot. AS the warriors began to under
mine the foundations, they received on
their bare backs spirited fire of the
terrible material, which in due time sent
them bowling into the wilderness. The
incident was related bya participant, who
died in London at an advanced age. She
was a granddaughter of the Swedish
burgher, Suen Schulz.
