OF for the Country.

These warm June days are sending to the
country the advanced guard OF the host Of
city people whom fashion or love Of rural
sights and occupations draws forth from
New York during the summer There is
an impression abroad that the season is
going to be very trying one, and perhaps
it will be.
The happier feeling which prevails among
business men must stimulate them TO pro-
vide country comforts FOR their families to
a greater extent than at any time since
1873. The uprising Of trade and manuiac-
ture, however, SO long awaited and now SO
eagerly welcomed, makes business in town
for larger share OF merchants than have
been engaged during the five years Of com
mereial drought and they dare not be long
away from their places Of business. II also
keeps busy preparing for the autumn and
winter trade greater body OF workers, men
and women, than New York has employed
during any summer since the panic.
1t ought not TO take sensible man long
t. select a place for his summer sojourn
Every Northern State abounds in attractive
country spots, and at no former time have
there been SO many well-kept hotels as now,
while there has been marked reduction in
prices.
If men and women, however, have money
to spend in profusion, and ache for the joys
OF fashionable society, there Is only small
list Of places to choose from; but when the
delights Of one have produced safety, an
other may be sought. No aspiring DAME
and no young women with gorgeous summer
costumes awaiting display, need be at a
loss whore to go to put them on exhibition
before the largest and most critical crowd
of observers; though we warn them that
fine clothes will not surely open the doors
they may long to enter. 1t Is a sad mistake
70 turn our summers, trying everywhere, in
the hills or by the seashOre, into seasons for
irksome fashionable labors, and sensible
people refuse to do it.
Where shall we find cool place against
the coming OF autumn 1t Is hard to say.
Probably the seashore offers the best
chances for getting refreshing breezes, but
even there the land winds may melt away
the resolution OF lazy lounEcrs who fret
themselves into heat for lack Of anything
else TO do. From Babylon TO MOntauk on
the south side Of Long Island and from
Glen Cove on the north side, a succession
of desirable beaches may be found. with
good fishing; and a fair supply Of snipe for
sportsmen who are willing to rise early
enough to get n pop Mt them, is always to be-
had on that sandy shore. New Jersey also
has its long line Of shore, and TO the south
warl there are shooting grounds OF unex-
ampled richness, All along the New Eng
land coast there are scores Of desirable sea-
side places, from PASSPORT, in Maine, to

TIE NEW FULTON MARKEE
A Company Formed that Promises Commo-
dIous BuiIdIng Before Winter.

After frequent and prolonged consulta-
lions among the dealers in Fulton Market. de-
cidcd action was taken at IA meeting held yes
tcrday In the hall OF the market. looking to the
demolition Of the present structure and the
erection Of n handsome and commodous build
ing in its stead. The chair was occupied by
Amos Robbins. a poultry dealer. The principal
interests in tho market wero represented by
substantial men The saloon keepers were not
allowed any voice in the deliberations. and 1t Is
intended to entirely exclude them. as well as
some other small interests not properly appcr-
tanning to market business from the new build
ing. Much discomfort exists on this account.
and trouble Is predicted.
The articles OF incorporation OF q new com
pany. to be known as the Fulton Market Assoc

Amos Robbins, John A. Cormack. II. Clark Jcr-
Wis, William Ottmnn. Eugene g.. Blackiord,
William H. Middleton. Patrick II. Fleming, Jo-
seph r. DishrOw. Charles johnson, George ii.

Of the company, is Is fixed a $4,000. divided
istence IL to be nitv years. Tho following are
the officers elected for the ensuing year Pres
ident. Amos Robbins; Vice President. John A.
cial Secretary. Eugene G.. Blackford: Corre-
spending Secretary H. Clark Jervis.
The object sof the dissertation is to erect and
maintain for market purposes on tho present
site u substantial and commodiOus building
which shall be an ornament to the city. The
trustees ure confident that they can obtain n
long lease on reasonable terms. The proposed
structure ia intended to be Of brick. with gran
tie buse, to stand six feet nbove tho present
sidewalk so us to permit OF proper sewerage
and ventilation from beneath. The building is
to be two stories IN height. In the centre a ro-
tunda, covered by an iron and glass roof. will
give light and air to the interior stands. II is
proposed to divide the second floor into Offices
dressing rooms, meeting rooms. and stands for
small dealers. The butcher stalls ind those for
provision dealers and large fish dealers will
occupy the ground floor.
The men Interested in this movement"
said cAe cf to- ciflcS'S. are Of opinion that all
preminaries can be arranged 50 that work will
be soon begun and the plAce ready for occupn-
ton before winter sets in. The cost will prob
ably exceed a quarter Of u million dollars. but n
much larger sum could readily be raised. us the
trustees. who mean business. represent mil
lions. 4 great deal has boon said uhout the
failure OF new uptown markets. but this does
not apply in our case. Fulton Market Is neccs-
sity. and the new building will be an instant
success. We shall be- able to provide tenants
with vastly improved quarters for the present
rental"

Stamford, Connecticut and at many Of
them board is obtainnblo at low prices.
As to the mountains, we have the whole
continent to choose from between the Yo-
semitic and the mountains Of New IIainp-
shire: and Of springs there is constant
succession from tho Yellowstone to tho
Togas in Maine and the White Sulphur in
Virginia. All the ills flesh is heir to can be
healed, or It Is claimed Mt least that they
can be healed, at these different waters. At
any rate the journey is worth something to
the real or imaginary invalid. But that
the mountains cannot surely be relied on as
cool places, we caution the seekers after a
low thermometer. The hilly region from
Burlington, on Lake Champlain, through
White River Junction, VT, Hanover and
Concord, n. H., to Bangor, Me, is noted as a
hot belt of country. On Sunday, when the
Thermometer ut Long Branch, for instance
was 65', II reached 1902 or whereabouts
throughout this mountainous region. But
the nights there are cool, as rule, and the
scenery is grand enough to Offset some Of
the discomforts Of the days.
1t is in New York, however, that the ma
jority OF our readers will spend the sum
mcr and it has grown to be far from an I'M
attractive place at that season OF late years,
with many opportunities at hand for days

The Dairy Products of Our State.

1t is well known that American cheese
and butter have figured for some years
among the important staples OF export
from this country. The traffic in these artl-
cles between the State Of New York alone
and the markets Of Great Britain has
reached such proportions that the question
has been raised whether we have not
touched the limits OF oyer.producton. At a
meeting Of the Dairymen's Association held
at Utica some three months ago these mat
tiers were much discussed, aud n report just
published sets forth both what we have
done and what we may yet hope to do in
this direction
The surplus OF American cheese above the
needs Of home consumption Is computed for
the past year at 100000 pounds From
New York city alone the export in the year
preceding Jan, !, 1879, was l34, 900, 900 pounds,
while the whole amount forwarded from
Canada during the same period is not gen
orally estimated above G0OOO00 So much
for the quantity of the product available for
sale in British markets by purveyurs on this
side OF the Atlantic. On the other hand, the
amount Of cheese produced in Great Britain,
according to competent authority, is about
3l2,O0O,0OO pounds, against an annual con-
sumption Of 50i 100000, 1t follows that only
l92,00O,oOO, or almost the precise volume sent
last year from New York and Canada, are
required TO meet the English demand; nor
should II be overlooked that some 5O,OOO,OO
pounds are imported into Great Britain
from Holland and other parts of continental
Europe. 1t is true, however, that q fall in

ELEvArED ROAD CONSOLIDATION
Church Members Asking that Sunday Trains
he Hun for Worshippers.

The Manhattan Railway Company will
not assume formal charge OF the management
and operation Of the two elevated railroads to-
day as had previously been announced. The
cause Of postponement is the absence OF Mr..
John Baird. the chief engineer OF the Metro
politan Company. who is to be- the manager OF
the Manhattan Company. so far rs its uechnni-
cal operation OF the roads II concerned.
Mr.. Baird's absence is owing TO the death OF
his wife and II has caused delny in pcrfectng
details necessary under the lease.
On Sunday next trains Will he run over the
Sixth avenue line. one OF the officers OF tho
Metropolitan Company said That his company
had received requests from several churches
near the line Of the road asking them to run
trains on Sunday that people might be- brought
more ensily 10 the. houses OF worship. Tho
same officer said he objected to running 'ruins
on Sunday. not on account OF any sentiment but
because he believed the men needed and ought
to have one day Of rest.
The lease and contracts between the several
companies will not be filed at present.

Grant Men Voted for Him.

Some Of the attempts made by the Re-
publicans 10 deprive the nomination OF
CHARLES FOSTER for Governor OF Ohio Of
all Significance as pertains to the Presi-
dental election are rather amusing.
FOSTER, as much as any man in the coun-
try. was identified with the Inauguration of
the HAYES policy as contradistiuguishc
with the GRANT policy. Whatever outward
semblance OF respect for Gen. GRANT may
have been maintained when HAYES came to
Washington, those in the secret know very
we'll that no love was lost on either side.
GRANT was disparaged by men like FOSTER
in terms of little reserve, and So openly as
to elicit harsh replies from his special
friends. GRANT himself felt hurt and
soured Finally, when he undertook his
foreign tour, it was only by the earnest and
artful persuasions OF EDWARDS PIERREPoNT
that the Administration was reluctantly
persuaded to give him good send or
CHARLES FOSTER, to his honor be it
spoken, has always and openly been OPP
posed to a third term.
Now, when he is nominated for Governor
OF Ohio after a protracted struggle. over
the strongest out-and-out GRANT man in the
issues-we are assured it has nothing TO do
with the Presidency Finally. we are told
it must be so, because GRANT men roied for
FOSTER.
This is precisely the feature OF the result
at which we rejoice. We care not how
many GRANT men there may be in the
country up to the point Of nominating and
clecting public officers, II only they will
then vote, as in this instance for an anti
GRANT candidate.
We have some hope that this will be the
case. There will be good deal Of clappng
OF hands. and waving OF handkerchefs and
loud hurrahing over GRANT on his return
people with swift feet and slow heads will
cross the continent to meet him-but as to
making him President again, the GRANT
men, when il comes to that may be voting
for some one Of his Republican competitors
In this respect the Ohio example is worth
| following.

On tho morning following the fire in the

WAS supposed that tho orudite porker was con-
sumed 10y the fires thereof and he was mourncd
10y the educated circle in which ne moved. II is
now announced. however. that the learned pig
is not dead that he was not even scorched; that
his mental faculties are unimpaired; that n
great depletion Of the sum total Of porcine cru
dition WAS happily averted. In proof ofthese as
'ertions hog is displayed which bears accurate
resemblance TO the cultured Toby even to pos
scssing the sapicnt look that characterized tho
profound yet modest porker Yet in the absence
Of further proofs mani persons will hesitate to
recognize in the alleged Toby the genuine Toby.
or not Toby that ia the question and It will con-
tinue 10 be until the claimant shall have ban
ished all doubts Of his identity by tents OF cere-
bration as difficult ms were those performed by
the genuine Toby. Although it is easier to be-
come educated now than it used TO be- although
education is bestowed by sham colleges on COM
mencement days. and not acquired by long and
patient study. an uneducatcd hog in the role OF
the educated one would soon be found out 1t
would be oasier for charnan TO palm himself
of as an educated professor than for cheese
factory hog to succeed in the role Of Toby. tho
learned pig. No one would hesitate to criticse
the hog; whereas the chnratan's audacity
might carry him through. But if the spurious
pig CHANGED to be shrewd enough to maintain a
profound reticenco. allowing his manager to
announce that this change was duo to the effect
on his mind Of the awful scenes witnessed by
him that night in the internal regions, perhaps
he could pnss for the learned pig till some I'M
lucky blundcr should bring suspicion on him
and lead to the exposure Of his pretences.
Many silly and ignorant persons have passed
for wise and learned men solely because they
generally kept their mouths closed except when
eating. Time will tell whether the surviving
porker is the genuine Toby. If no is. he will
continue in modest way to do what he can for
the elevation OF his race. II he is not, he will
be exposed sooner or later, will then take to
pedesrunism rs means Of paying his debts.
and will surprise himself by heapng up n for
tune in less time than was required by tho
