We are always on the alert, and the
last young man we slipped up on was at
the party at the Lyon House few nights
ago We observed him for some time
strutting very aristocratically around the
room, and presently we saw him make
for the corner in which she was quietly
seated. We know, judging from his
looks and actions, that he felt as large as
q government snag-boat, and it was also
quite plain that she was in earth's para
disc, as smile after smile was discernable
on her bright couutensnce. Their tete a

noticed her "fag." which was occasioned
by his repeating the following stanza:

THE New York Evening Post has inaugurated
an exceedingly sensible and humane charity,
and N putting 1t into practical operation by
its own exertions. It is to seek out the sick
and delicate children OF parents who are too
poor to send them out Of the city or to pro-
vide proper comforts for them ct home dur
ing the heated term, and send them to the
country for season to live In the families Of
farmers free OF charge. to romp and play
and run wild until they recover their strength.
The cooperation of q number OF worthy and
kind-hearted farmers has been secured, so
that the Post fund is only needed to pay the
expenses oil getting the children together and
sending them to their destination. The Post
has but just started Its humane project, and

THE SAVIOR OF GEORGIA.

Who saved Georgian is now the leading
question In Georgia. The little superan-
nuated Democratic fraud, Alexander Ste
phens In blatherskiting speech the other
day at Augusta, claimed that he first rallied
the people of Georgia against the carpet
baggers who had taken possession Of the
State after the war This aroused the spirit
of Ben Hill, who, in an interview with rep
resentative of the Atlanta Constitution,
claimed that after little Aleck had given up
the State as irretrieyably lost, and had re-
fused to counsel the people, or make speech,
or write letter, or In any other shape or
form attack the thieves, but while he was
skulking In private life, he (Ben HilD, at
imminent personal risk OF military suppress
sion and Punishment, came boldly to the
front, and, in series Of articles, entitled
Notes on the Situation" contributed to q
State paper, first aroused the slumbering
spirit of the Georgians, and led to
the organization of the Democratic
party and the redemption of the State.
The issue thus raised by Senator Hill has
created much excitement In Georgia and given
rise to general discussion. Mr.. Hill certainly
preceded Stephens In the good work, and 1t IL
pretty well established that the latter never
opened his mouth until Bullock was defeated,
the line of thieves was utterly broken and
falling back on Federal bayonets, and the
rebel yell Of the triumphant Democracy was
ringing all over the State. It was then that
Aleck stepped to the front, joined In the shout
and ran into Congress.
But ii seems that though Mr.. Hill served
Georgia before Stephens did, that great state
had savior who saved 1t before Mr.. Hill did,
and this savior seems. by The general voice Of
the Georgia press to be the real, genuine ar
ticle. Col. A. II. Lamar, then the editor OF
the Columbus Sun, was the first man III
Georgia who appealed to the Democracy to
organize right under the bayonets Of the
Federal army and overthrow the thieves
Col. Lamar spoke through his paper so bold
ly, vigorously and eloquently that new life
was infused into the Georgians, and though
he was twice warned by the military author-
ties that unless he changed his tone he would
be arrested, he went right on in his work un-
I'll he aroused the people, and then of course
the politicians and offlee-seekers stepped to
the front and Georgia was redeemed

The Texas Democratic State Convention
viii certainly represent the Democracy OF the
lone Star" State. The original call proposed
q grand convention: there was to be one dele.
gate for every hundred Democratic votes, and
as Texas casts more than 100000 Democratic
votes this convention, IL full, would contain
nearly 1900 delegates. Some of the counties Of
Texas, however, considered Themselves re-
stricted and limited In the number Of dele
gates allowed them. Bexar county, for In
stance, objected TO It's representation of less
than twenty delegates, and selected 107
representatives, instructing them to attend
che convention and cast their votes for Hub
bard for Governor.
II the other counties follow suit In the same
proportion as Bexar, the Texas convention
will contain nearly 10000 members, and al
most equal In numbers that celebrated mass
meeting that Watterson proposed for Tilden's
Inauguration,
There is only one difficulty, however. The
original convention Of 1400 delegates was
more than any public hall in Austin could
seat What, then, can be done for the accom-
mediation OF body that promises to mount
lip 50 high in the thoasandsP This ques-
fion Is now very seriously disturbing Texas
There appears to be but one way Of doing: the
convention must meet like the English Par
llaments OF old, or the Polish conferences lin
the open air.

the average purse we are sure they
would be more extensively patronlzed.
If there were some pleasant garden
or cool verandah, when glass OF pure milk,
or an ice. and some fresh fruits could be had
az moderate prices, there would be no lack Of
custom. But what is really needed, and
what the city ought to provide, Is a large and
handsome park at some one of the lake ends,
where people can go and enjoy an hours
escape from the city heat and discomfort.
Some day 1t Is to be hoped that this great
need will be supplied. Some one has said
that parks and public squares are the lungs
of city, and they are doubtless necessary
for sanitary reasons; but in q semi-tropical
city like this, something more than mere
scattered patches of greenery is required.
&c is very certain that the tawdry pieces of
meadow and swamp, that go by the name of
public squares, scattered at long intervals
throughout the city, will not answer the
purpose.
SO much for the resorts Immediately about
the city, where one may go for an hour every
day. There are others to which excursions OF
d day or more may be made, but which are
In measure liable to the same objections.
ALI along the Mobile road there are delightful
places Of resort but who can say that he has
really enjoyed a day going to them and re-
turning on the hot and dusty cars The
heat and glare and dirt of railroad travel Is
not by any means o relief from the diseom-
fort even Of the city in these July days. In
city surrounded as this Is by water, the
river In front of us and the lake behind, such
a thing as a railroad pleasure excursion is q
monstrosity All Of the resorts along the
line of the Mobile road can be reached by
steamer, and there Is no reason why there
should not be one or more steamers leaving
for them throughout the week. We cannot
close without commencing the Sunday
steamer to Vaudeville and Covington.
This affords the only really enjoyable
excursion from the city, and we hope for the
enterprise the most unbounded success. The
new Camelia is really elegant little steamer,
and her arrangements are perfect The bar
contains pretty good liquors, there is an ex-
cellent restaurant aboard, and, what Ia the
greatest consideration, the fares are most rea-
and certainly there can be nothing
more enjoyable than dreamy, restful day
on the green Bermuda and beneath the deep
shadows of the grand old oaks at Vaudeville.

Ohio seems unfortunate in the matter Of
her country treasurers. The Stark county
treasurer led off with $65,OOO, with which he
defaulted and fed; the treasurer In Butler
county secured prize Of S125,OOO; then fol-
lowed the treasurer of AnRlaize with deficit
of $32, 900, the treasurer OF Holmes with $780,
600, of Clermont with $4,000, and of Coshoc-
ten with $4,000. The other defaulting county
treasurers are those of Ottawa, Defrance Van
Vert, Ashland, Crawford, Henry, Licking,
Wyandotte, Wavne, Allen and Belmont coun-
ties. In Hamilton county (Cincinnatib the
treasurer, who has gone into bankruptcy, has
been found to be In arrears to the county $1S,-
600, which will, therefore, be lost to the
county.
This is pretty good record for one State
even IL that State be Ohio. Evidently, the
Buckeye State" is not politically healthy,
with eighteen defaulting county treasurers
and burglar in It's Legislature.
The county funds In Ohio seem to occupy
much the same position In that State that the
school funds OF Louisiana did In the days Of
Radical glory-they are meant to be stolen.
