ENcHAET1RNr OF D1sTANoE.-To live
with people is to discover their faults;
it is better then not to live with them.
To come together in the same village,
town or city, is the ruin Of some excel
lent friendships, which would have gone
on happily during life with q short rail
way journey for each visit. Woe be-
tide certain aequaintances whose aspect
is mutually pleasant seen from opposite
corners of the same street if they be-
come next door neighbors. No greater
mistake can be made than for persons
to suppose that, because they are friend
ly with one another at this or that dis
tance of removal, they will become in
creasingly friendly IN proportion as they
draw higher. Few Of us can support
with credit too intimate friendship.
Numbers of family quarrels have arisen
merely because the members came to-
gether too often; many friendship has
ended forever owing to the parties hav-
ing met every evening for week, in
stead Of interposing at least two blank
nights. A very nice chronology obtains
in the matter. Aunt Mary is charm
ing visitor at intervals of about three
years; if she came each Summer she
would be intolerable. You rather like
your brother Johns children if you
don't go there oftener than once in three
months. It is all very we'll to hear
talks about eternal friendships. Some
people can only be intimate and remain
friendly with some other people for half
an hour at time. Who has not OBJ
served the part played by time in visits
of some length to friends at distance?
How agreeable some persons are on the
second day, but they begin to change
before the next has fully run out. Some
are never quite 80 nice as on the even
ing Of the first day; although these
same persons generally make partial
amends by frightening up brilliantly
during the last few 5ours or minutes Of
your stay, and are wholly perfect at the
moment of your departure.

Sea Bathing at Cape May.

The chief amusement at Cape May.

bathing, though those who prefer can

for a very reasonable price. The hour
preferred for sea bathing il between II
and II A. NJ. or about three hours after
breakfast. Then the surf for distance
Of half a mile presents n very lively APP
pearance. Men, women, boys, girls and
small children may be seen in their gro
tesque sea costumes, bobbing up and
down with the waves, or being tossed
over by them without ceremony. The
bathing-rooms are only few steps from
the surf. The discreet bather will leave
his money and jewelry at the hotel Of
fee. where, for fifty cents he can buy q
bath ticket which secures q bathing eos
tune, a small room in which 10 leave hrs

guard the room while you are in the
bath. II you wish to bathe socially and
fashionably, you present your ticket at
the office Of the bath-houso about l:30

you are q man, it will consist either of
one woolen garment, including both
shirt and pantaloons, or it may have
these indispensables to every well-regu-
lated masculine wardrobe in two pieces,
also a coarse straw hat. If you are a
woman. 1 don't know what you will
wear; there are some mysteries that
even newspaper correspondent may
not find out. From q cursory view it is
evident that pair of pants, very brief
dress and hat, are components of the
toilet. Some ladies, am told, wear
corsets and other things. 1 only know
that most of them look astonishingly
natural after their clothes become cling
ingly wet. Occasionally you will see an
outline that suggests the Venus of
Thorwalsden, and quite as frequently
the extremes of Ceres and Famine are
presented.

London, August 8, 1876. Nine rep

consequently, disputes occasionally
arise, such a convention will afford op-
portunity to settle undetermined points,
especially in new contingencies that
have originated since the introduction
Of the ocesI-cable and arrival sales.
Questions Of classification can also be

A CORRESPONDENT calls our attention

A CORES PoNDENT calls our attention
to the remarks we made yesterday in
connection with Geographic statement
that at the recent New York big sale of
dry goods: "Msny manufacturers, dis
coursged at the prices obtained, are said
to have avowed their intention to close
their mills until the present superfluous
stock is consumed" Our correspondent
says: "OIr understanding OF this sale
was that it was mainly, if not exclusive
Iy, of wooden manufactured goods, and
not of cotton goods" He cannot see,
therefore, why we should speak OF cot
ton holders as being discouraged 10y the
result. II he will read over again that
telegram, aud a second one published
on the first page of the paper in which it
appeared, and third one on the third
page, he will find that it was the dry
goods which sold at the low prices re-
ferred to in the telegram, while the
and blankets had spirited bid,
ding and got fair prices. The threat to
close mills applied to the dry goods, not
to the fiannels aud blankets.
