OURNEW YORK LETTER.
Perfect Day,-Street Scenery Aecidents-FaSh-
ions -POlitical-yanderbilt.
NEW YORK, June 80, 1876.
PERFECT DAYS.

PERFECT DAYS.
Now or never, as the poet says, they
come, and this June deserves special
mention as being the best of its kind.
The mortal who wants anything better
than this cool, half shady, sunshiny
weather, ought to go to Philadelphia
on an excursion. He would come back
ready to appreciate his blessings.
STREET SCENERY.
The street venders are not behind
their brethren in Philadelphia in TAX
ing hold of the Centennial. They
show their patriotism by selling flags
OF every size, tri-colored neck bows,
and badges, and small cannon, and air
guns, TO celebrate the Fourth cheaply;
but the last notion is the Centennial
pocket handkerchief, which is nothing
more nor less than a brilliant United
States flag, with stripes and Union fair
ly blazing, of a size to carry in the
Rocket. This is the elimination of
patriotism.
THE ACCIDEST LIST.
The investigation in the case of the
explosion of the tug boat Workman"
which blew up Tuesday, showed that
it was in sound order, but the fireman
was late in getting up steam, and to
save time put on all the heat he could
command, then lay down on a bench
near the engine and fell asleep All
the water boiled away above the crown
of the boiler, which got red hot, and
a wave rocking the boat threw the wa
ter in the boiler against the red hot
plates with the usual result.
FASHIONS.
The new coaching hats are awaken
ing the astonishment of our Country
cousins, and no wonder. These enorm-
Gus edifices for the head belong to the
time when everybody went in coaches,
that is unless they did like most every
one in those times and stayed at home.
Coaching hats are the toughest of
rough-and ready brown straw, with
brin and high crown about the size
Of CONVENIENT bee hive. The brim,
edged with silver cord and turned up
az the side, with two long feathers sha-
ding the CROWN They are worn off
the face, az one sees them in old Eng
lish pictures, and fresh young face
looks very piquant under its load, but
1t takes a miracle of delicacy to wear
one without looking fast. All the sum-

A NEW MUSTARD PLASTER.

The medical value of a mustard plaster is

THE EFFECT.-As a Griswold street
saloon~keeper stood behind his bar
yesterday in walked a stranger, who
inquired;
Can you inform me what effect
lemonade has on the mental systema'
1T has good effect, where you pay
for it, was the reply.
And where you don't?
The effect is then transferred from
the mental to the physical system, and
you go out of here with so netting
kicking you forty times per minute
Thanks, sir, bowed the stranger,
backing out. i am not thirsty, and l
never did believe in summer drinks
He went down the street, stole two
harvest apples, and found the effect to
be just the same as if he had taken
lemonade. When the machine ceased
kicking the stranger remarked:
sBetweep being kicked for three
cents or for ten cents it is my
duty to be kicked for ten cents, and
that shall be my motto reafter;'

asked if the Saginaw train had de-
parted.

official.

inquired the stranger.
i guess not; didn't hear anyone say
anything about it..
That's strange, unused the traveller.

day I sent IN word by one of the
squarest men in our town that Id come
in here this morning and go out on the
Saginaw train. Fin here to the minute,
but where's the train 2
Gone, as told you before, replied
the official.

A aroeer's Trick.

The other day, says the Free Press,
= Grand River avenue grocer purchased
thirty pound crock of butter of a
farmer whom he had never dealt with
before, and while down cellar emptyz
ing the crock be thought of a trick to
surprise the agricpltprist. Finding a
stone weighing about eight pounds. the
grocer creased it, carried it up stairs
with the crock, and pointing to it,
quietly remarked:
This, of course, is to be taken from
the gross weight as we'll as the jar.
The farmer looked at the stone for
several long seconds, and then in a
voice so low that no one could hear,
replied:
please kiver piece of paper over
the jar, for there's man out by the
door who knows mel
The grocer finally explained his
fiendish plot, and the butter~seller's
face underwent sudden change
Reaching over the sugar barrels to
shake hands, he said:
4 didn't hardly believe it,though my
wife came from tricky family, and I
should have gone home and organized
mourning and lamentation in that farm
house.

Lame Gea and Lemonade.

Many Detroit boys have within the
past month established lemonade stands
IN the front door-yard or on shady cor.
ners, and the dignity and profits were
what induced ten year old lad to halt
pedestrian on Clifford street yesterday
and ask him to give five cents to help
lame man.
"What lame man ?" was asked.
"He's around here most every day."
replied the boy.
"Look here, boy" continued the sns
picious pedestrian, 81 believe you

Hark : the deep boom of gun is
heard, and as the captain Listens he ex-
claims, @Miss Devices, we are all right
now cheer up, for there comes vesseA
OF war to our relief"
"Ship ahoy !" came in ringing tones
from the schooner. as she came near the
burning ship, which.. was being driven
rapidly along by the wind.
"Ahoy!' answered she captain.
"Thfow a long line from your ahip,
and | will send you a boat came in
the same clear tones.
The line was thrown, the boat attach
ed and after little difficulty the people
from the ship were transferred to the
schooner, and Mary was soon in the
comfortable cabin, rejoicing over their
escape from horrible death.
At breakfast next morning the Young
captain descended to join his guests at
the table. AS he entered, Mary sprang
toward him.
s'Frank Mereers Oh, it is yoa-is it
not?"
At enc glance at the beautiful girl,
though years had passed, Frank Mercer
for it was no other-reeognized the
playmate whom he had loved so well,
and whom he had never ceased to think
of.
Devices came forward, and what a
joyful meeting was there but seeing
| cloud as of bitter memories coming over
the young captains face, Mr.. Devices
said: "First, let me relieve your mind
of one thing. Your innocence in Vir~
ginia has been thoroughly established,
for negro run away, waa hung the
other day for killing woman, confessed
just before his death that he had murder
ed your uncle, and your arriving
when You did prevented him from
getting the gold, but made his escape
from the window. He knew your uncle
kept large amount of money, and you
being away, as he thought, be procured
your knife. and with it committed the
fatal deed"
Frank listened to Mr. Devices, almost
breathless, and then, when he concluded
he bowed his face in his hands and wept
like a child.
"But come in, we are hungry and
need breakfast, and are dying to know
how you became captain IN the Mexi.

''My story ia easily told, my dear
friends, for, after escaping from prison
through our kindness, went to Mexico
entered the navy, and having rendered
some service, rose to my command.
which has been the means of SAVING
your lives"
Little more can be added. Frank
resigned his commission and returned
home, where he was lionized bv the
whole community. He came into pos
session of his estates, which were
greatly increased in value, and six
months afterward, in the very town
where he was to have had the hangmans
halter placed around his neck for death,
he had the moose of matrimonv thrown
around him for life, and the bride was
Mary Devices. Thus his life has been
both dark and bright in a remarkable
degree.

Professions of honesty deserve no res
apect if they come from a man who,
while making them, is caught picking
a pocket" For the above reason the
people have 20 respect Tor the Repub-
lican promise of reform in the Civil
Service, because it is the exposure Of
the corruptions Of Republican officials
that has caused the demand for reform.
Had it not been for the Babcocks,
Shepherds, Belknaps, and other shining
lights of the Republican party, there
would have been no such demand for
reform as now comes from the people
everywhere; and that the same men
should ask the people to commission
them to reform and purify that which
themselves have debauched and corrup-
ted, is the subllmest specimen Of im>
prudence on record,

The joker who offered life annuity
to the collector of 1000. 900 old postage
stamps, without any idea that the offer
would be accepted, has been brought
to book at last by the young girl whose
efforts to win the prize have been SO
frequently chronicied during the past
two years. Everybody who heard of
the offer. and had any power to assist
in the matter, has seemed to take a
malicious pleasure in helping the young
collector, and contributions of stamps
have poured in from all quarters, one
especially large one being a contribution
Of $4,000 from Paris. It hell one S
faith in human nature to learn that tn
promise made in jest has been kept in
earnest, and that the young girl has
her annuity secured to her.
