by any accident, be elected, his admin

the country has ever been cursed with.
Only think of the National Government

THE HEATED NIGHTS.
To the poor who are crowded into
the miserable tenernents in the lower
parts OF the city, the hot nights of the
past month have been terrible. To
stay in their miserable ventilated rooms
was to smother, and so they took the
streets for it, where it was trifie bet
ter. As early as nine o'clock, thous-
ands upon thousands of the poor, men,
women and children. were out on the
sidewalks, getting ready for sleep.
They brought ont with them such blan-
kets and bed-ticks as they possessed -
thousands had nothing whatever to lie
npon-and made upssuch beds as they
could upon the sidewalks, cellar doors.
Ior any other place that was dry. 1t
was curious sight to see mothers get
ting their little ones ready for sleep, to
see girls and women twisting up their
hair ard making their limited toilet in
the open air, under the glare of the gas
| lamps. But they were compelled to do
it., or die. The heat was SO intense
that to attempt to sleep in the rooms
would be to invite death while living
was possible even amid the stenches of
the filthy streets. This continued reg
ularly every night for over a month.
To the poor IN New York all seasons
are terrible. In the winter they freeze
to death. and IN the summer they snoth.

more endurable.
Since my last there has change
come over Mrs. Tilton. She has signi-
fed her Willingness to take assistance
from Theodore, and he has sent her a
thousand dollars, upon which she is now
living. The children, hereafter are to
live where they choose, and the prob
ability is that this much-wrecked FAM
lily will, hereafter enjoy something like
| peace. BY the way the people of Ply.
mouth Church have not used her proper
ly. Since the trial they have abso-
lutely ignored her-oniy two or three of
the ladies of the congregation having
called upon her. They did raise purse
of 81 200 for her at the close OF the trial,
but never cent since, nor have they
in any way taken any trouble to see
tliat she was in comfortable circum-
stances Mr.. Beecher. for whose sake
she suffered so much, has been as neg.
ligent as the others, and among them
the poor little lady has had hard time
and will have harder She has ALREADY
kept boarders and taken in sewing &c
| keep herself, and but for the relic
Theodore has extended to her, would
have suffered for food to eat. 1t is moi
impossible that the twain may come
together again.
Frank Moulton is after Beechel
again, hotter than eyer, and he swears
that he will never give him rest till he
has fastened the crime upon him Ht
claims to have the power to do it if he
can ever get into court that will give
him show. The public have, how
ever, lost interest IN the matter. What
it wants is a fresh, healthy scandal.
STOKES,
the murderer of Fisk, has been re-
moved to Auburn Prison, and he is now
for the first time, actually convict
At Sing Sing he was clerk in the of

he had very good time, and was a.

was nnder any restraint. But in Au

has on him the prison garb, he praetice
the lock-step, he eats as do other pris
