of bond-sharks and vampires. 1t must be put down.
Never, in the course of pretty long familiarity
with the manners of people who cater Tor the
amusement of the public have we seen anything
quito 80 beautiful as the solicitude expressed by
Messrs Maurice and Max Strakosch for the unfortu-
nato Mr.. Mapleson who is about to risk an opera
season at the Academy Of Music provided he can
raise the necessary to transport his company to
America. 1t might have been supposed that Messrs
StrakOsch would look upon this venture OF the Eng
Iishman with the jaundiced eyes of professional III
walls. They might have been suspected OF cherish
ing an unholy hope that Mr.. MaplesOn would come
to speedy grief. Far otherwise is it, however with
the Bengnant Brothers. The contemplation of the

Fortunate are they who are not driven by bust
ness or fashion TO take their vacation in the full
fervors of Summer and return to the city with this
first bright Autumn weather There is nothing in
the whole circle of the year to compare with this
season of goden-rod aud asters in the country.
The equinox with its imputed storm is at hand,
but there will yet remain at least SIX
good weeks before the haze of Indian Summer will
he dssipated by the first genuine chill of approach
ing Winter The mature foliage OF the trees is yet
at its reenest but already the sumach and Virginia
creeper are flaming in crimson, and the woods and
fields beginning to glow with that wealth OF
color which changes from glory TO glory with
each ensuing day the year Tipens to its close.
And in this season of beauty and fragrance and
fruitage, too, there is a bracng tonic in the air
which wakens into surprise the city folks who hith
ertO have only sought for languid recreation in the
country under the enervating heats Of Au-
gust These are the choice vacation days
for those who wish TO take their pleasure
actively, with a spring in the step and rush in the
blood. The value Of the first white frost as a hy-
gienc agent is not restricted TO its efficacy in kill
ing germs of yellow fever.
The Signal Service Bureau and the special ba-
rometrioa reports Of The TRIBUNE accurately fore
told the recent marked changes in the weather,
gave warning Of the storm, and announced the ap-
proach Of the cold wave which has been so well
come to the feyer-stTicken South. The forecasting
Of atmospheric disturbances is getting to be well
understood that promises when the facilities for
collecting data are somewhat further improved, 10
take rank with the exact sciences. Yet il Is not long

As the time for the annual exhibition of the New
York State Democracy approaches. the country be-
comes more and more anxious TO hear from Mr..
MantOu Marble an explanation of the manner IN
which ne carried on the ark and shechinah of
our self-goyernment, IN cipher, during his ex-
petition TO Florida in 1876 Mr. Marble has
DELAYED his statement so long that he is supposed
to govern himself by the rule, Never do to-day
what you can possibly put off till tomorrow" But
he can hardly let the convention pass without dis
closing the secret.
Mr.. Hayes ought to run home and take hold of his
Cabinet with both hands to keep it steady. An al
legged financial policy which doubles on itself three
times IN fortnight is bewidering to people who
have some interest in knowing what sort of money
they will need to pay their bills with day after to-
morrow.
POLITICAL NOTES
All the Republican party needs to do is to keep
its head cool and its back stif.
Itlooks as if Mr. Sherman had carelessy sat down
on his private crop of Presidential chances.
Tho country will not weep if it is forced to wait
till 1870 before being admitted to everyday inter-
course with the buzzard dollar,
It's very amusing to contemplate the laborious
efforts of some vlrtnOus Massachusetts newspapers
to prove that General Butler has not been a con-
sistont politician.
