LETTER FROM SEA GROVE,
SEA GROVE. .IulY 10Th 1876

SEA IRONE, July lgth, 1876.
DEAR WHIG:-This "City of a Year :"
seems to have the age of many of our
established resorts, SO complete are the
arrangements, and so fine are all its APP
pointments. There are three large and
wel-kept hotels, with every convenience
and comfort one can desire; and fifty cot
tages, all pleasantly situated, and from the
accounts that come to us, all are giving
the most complete satisfaction to their
guests. We have regular mails, gas and
telegraph facilities.
Cape May is only mile and three quar-
tiers away, accessible by street car or coach
at any hour, at reasonable prices. The
close proximity of Cape May makes good
market for Sea Grove
If the table of the Centennial House :"
is representative of the others, the guests
of this young city will never suffer for
want of good meals.
We have been impressed with the uni
versal good order and spirit of the place.

WHY HAYES WENT INTO THE WAR;
In April Sumpier fell, and Lincoln's call
for troops came, aud with 1t came an end
Of all theories, all speculations beyond the
question OF the hour. At Cincinnati, as
throughout the whole North, a wild out.
burst of the instantly embattled public
sentiment answered the call. az shall new
err forget" Hayes writes, THAT Sunday
evening" when the summons came. He
was himselfa leader OF the popular onthu-
sasm, and wrote the resolutions of the
largest of the public meetings held 10 well
come the summons. Let what evils may
follow; shall not soon cease to rejoice
over this event"
Then on the 10th OF May, in words that
seem still 10 burn with the sublime impul-
ses of that hour, he records the purpose
from which he never faltered throughout
the four years of war that followed: Judge
Matthews and have agreed TO so into the
service for the war-if possible iato the
same regiment. l spoke my feelings TO
him, which he said were his own, that this
was a just and necessary war, and that il
demanded the whole power Of the country
that would prefer TO go into it If l knew

than to live through and aler II without

= EPoCHs. -Extension, we know, is a very
imperfect measure of things; and the length
of the suns journeying can no more tell us
how far life has advanced than the acreage
of field can tell us what growths may be
active within IL. A man may go south,
and, stumbling over bone, may mediate
upon it till he has found a new starting
point for anatomy or eastward, and dis
cover a new key 10 language telling new
story OF races or he may head an expedi-
ton that opens new continental pathways,
get himself MANNED in body, and 60 thro'
whole heroic poem of resolve and endur-
ance and at the end of few months he
may come back and find his neighbors
grumbling at the same parish grievance as
before, or TO see the same elderly gentle
man treading the pavement in discourse
with himself, shaking his head after the
same persuasive butchers boy, aud paus-
ing at the same shop window 10 look at tho
same prints. If the swinest thinking has
about the pace of a greyhound, the slowest
must be supposed to move, like the limpet,
by an apparent Sticking, which after good
while is discerned 10 be slight progression.
Such differences are manifest in tue varia-
BILE intensity which we call human expert
ence, from the revolutionary rush of change
which makes new inner and outer life, to
that quiet recurrence Of the familiar which
has no other epochs than those of hunger
and the heavens.-"Ddn Derondd'; Hdr-

How q bird Flies.

The most prominent fact about bird Is
a faculty in which It differs from every 9TH
er except the bat ana insects, its power Of
flying. For this purpose, the birds arm
ends in only ono long slender finger, in
stead of full hand. To this are attached
the quilts and small feathers (coverls) on
the upper side, which make up the wing.
Observe how light all this is: in the first
place, the bones are hollow, then the shafts
of the feathers are hollow, aud, finally, the
feathers themselves are made Of the most
delicate filaments, interlocking and cling
ing TO one another with little grasplng
hooks Of microscopic fineness. Well, how
does a bird hy7 II seems simple enough
to describe, and yet it is a problem that the
wisest in such matters have not yet work
ed out TO eyerybody's satisfaction. Ills
explanation, by the Duke of Argyle, APP
pears TO me TO be the best: An open wing
forms hollow on its under side like an in
verted saucer; when the wing is forced
down, the upward pressure OF the air
caught under this concavity, liits'the bird
up, much as you boist yourself up be-
tween the parallel bars in gymnasium.
But he could never in this way get ahead,
and the hardest question is still to be an
swered. Now, the front edge of the wing,
formed of the bones and muscles OF the
forearm, is rigid and unyielding, while
the hinder margin is merely the soft flexi-
BILE ends of the feathers; 50 when the wing
Is forced down, the air under it, finding
this margin yielding the easier would rush
out here, and, in so doing, wonld bend up
the ends Of the quilts, pushing them for
ward out of the way, which, Of course,
would tend TO shove the bird ahead. This
process, quickly repeated, results in the
phenomenon OF fiight.-Erncst IngerSoU,

The marriage festivities last o0en for a
week, and in many sections tbe East the
old practices are still maintained. The
bridegroom, with procession, starts with
music and torches, by night, for the house
of the bride, where a1er a show of resist
auce, and sometimes quite a struggle, she
is taken possession OF, and borne away 10
her future home. This resistance Of ;he
coy maiden to the approaches OF her hus-
band is curiously Illustrative Of the mar
rage customs Of many countries, and in
various forms-from that of African soci-
ETY., in which the bridegroom chases the
fleeing bride, captures, and carries her
away bodily, TO that OF the HISTORIANS,
where the bride remains in a corner OF tue
church until the time comes for the join
ing OF hands, when she is dragged half
across the building by main strength to-
ward her intended husband, who is allow
ed to seize her hand only amer a vehement
struggle, during which the officiating cler-
gyman stands passively by.-Lymdn 40.

SUBMISSION There comes a terrible mo-
ment 10 many souls when the great move
ments Of the world, the larger destinies Of
mankind, which have lain aloof in news
papers and other neglected reading, enter
like an earthquake into their own lives +;
when the slow urgency of growing genera
tions turns into the tread of an invading
army or the dire clash of civil war, and
gray fathers know nothing 10 seek for but
the corpses of their blooming suns, and
girls forget all their vanity, to make lint
and bandages which may serve for the
shattered limbs of their betrothed hus-
bands. Then II is as If the Invisible Pow
er that has been the object Of lip worship
and resignation became visible, accord
ing 10 tho imagery of the Hebrew poet,
making the flames his chariot and riding
on the wings of the wind, till the noun
tains smoke and the plains shudder under
the rolling, fiery visitation. O0en the
good cause seems TO lie PROSTATE under the
thunder of unrelentirg force; the martyrs
live reyiled, they die, and no angel is seen
holding forth the crown and the palm
branch. Then it is that the submission of
the soul TO the Highest is tested, and even
in the eyes of friVolity life looks out from
the scene OF human struggle with the awful
face Of duty, and a religion shows itself
which is something else than private con-
solation.-" Daniel Deronda," by George
Eliot.

Mr.. Lisiar, worked his way 10 success by
years Of patient labor, in search Of way to
utilize silk rags. lie began by buying up
all such waste at less than one cent pound,
and up to the year 1854 he had expended
the immense sum Of over 81 300, 900 in fruit
less efforts to find a process. Nothing
daunted, however, he continued his exper-
iments, and within the past ten years has
discovered method of converting such
refuse into velvet of the finest quality. He
carries on this industry in England, en-
poying some four thousand work men, and
hundreds of travellers are also employed
whose sole business is 10 buy up silk waste
