NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Earl
of Dunraven, with several others
of the English nobility, arrived
yesterday. He goes hence to look
after his property in Colorado. He
is accom- panied by the Earl of Cal
edon and Lord Rodney, both of the
First Life Guards, for a hunting ex-
petition. Being asked by World
reporter ifany English farmers had
emigrated to Colorado, he replied
mo" He thought it was not par
ticularly adapted to farming. He
thought that the emigration OF
English farmers to America was
not likely to increase, for the
causes now impeling them were

CLIMATES COMPARED.

Our ups and downs OF temperature, with
deep SHOWS and shifting heats, make ex-
ercise and activity at certain seasons
burden and peril fer all except the
strongest, while in England all the year
is open to outside amusements and toll.
The English summer is almost always
com mfortable-sometime very cool; all
the yeal overcoats are in demands, ard in
the evenings fires are desired, as at our
summer resorts by the sea and in the
mountains. During the summer of 1868
The thermometer in England ranged be-
tween eighty two and eighty-eight de-
grees, and at one time rose to ninety two
degrees, and all complained Of the exces
sive heat. In the winter ice is not abur d.
ant; snow falls on " 10 the depth Of two
or three inches, and remains on the
ground for but few days; skating and
coasting and sleighing are almost for
bidden joys. Through the entire year, in
midwinter even, the meadows are fresh
and green, and there is not a month when
the public park cease to be visited. In
the coldest season a temperature Of zero,
or even ten degrees above is unknown; at
( Greenwich the average of the thermome-
ter during the month Of January for half
century vas thirty-seven degrees, a
temperature that wi not only allow but
invite various and active outdoor Tecrea-
tions. The English winter, indeed, is not
unlike our March shorn Of its bitterness
and on It's good behavior.
We Americans, on the contrary, for a
part Of the year are prisoners to our cii-
mate; in the summer not daring to walk
aboard, for fear of sunstroke; in nidwin-
ter bemmed in by biting cold and i'm
passibe drifts Of snow; at no season
able to predict or calculate the tempera-
ture for day, or even half on hour, in
advance. The sudden leaps ofthe Amer
can climate from distressing heat TO Sc
we're cold or the reverse, are quite un
familiar to England, where spring slowly
unfolds into summer, and summerin turn
descends into a moderate winter.
The element Of dryness fthe air, pc
culiar TO our climate as distinguished from
that Of Europe, both in Great Britain and
on the Continent, Is Of the highest SC len
ti6c and practical interest. The evidences
Of this dry state Of our atmosphere are
numerous and striking; clothes on the
line can be taken in more quickly than
in Europe; there is less Of mould in il
braries, in closets, and on furniture; the
specimens Of the naturalist keep much
longer without injury; wood work Of
houses and picture frames crack more
speedily; the hair and beard are dryer
and sitter, have less oil and moisture,
than in Europe, and pomades are in
greater demand .-AUantic Moathiy.

sTAGE-sTRUCK FEMALES.

"There are but two ways to cure a
stage.struek young woman of her folly"
said veteran manager to the writer one
day in the last week.
We were standing within the entrance
to the theatre, looking out upon Broad
way. In his hand this manager held a
delicately perfumed note from young
lady. asking for an opportunity to debut
as Vtrgnia.
"Wen, those two ways-what are
they?"
love. Either calamity will settle the
business. Why, l once had a yodng lady
who was all ready to make her debut as
Parthe1ia in 'Irgomar' Her dresses
were all made; she had been coached,
and rehearsed, and billed, and pufied in
the papers. But fortunately, she never
appeared. Two days before the night
upon which she was to make a fool Of
lherself, she suddenly disappeared. Sho
ran away head over heels in love-with
the son OF well-known stock broker.
YoE see this note? Well, this is from
the daughter Of man whose name is as
familiar to the public as mine. She has
the fever-has it bad poor girl !"
"Will she debut?"
"Yes, if she pays for it, and to do that
W i'll take a large slice out of her allow

nowadays for young woman to put in q
permanent investment, which, when it is
too late, no one more bitterly regrets than
the victim of this strange monomania.
Out Of sixty three de5uts which l have
had under my management, covering n
period Of twenty years, only two resulted
in an addition to the professional ranks"
'And these two?"
"Well. one Of them is, after five years
work and study, playing utility parts in
a Western theatre, at a sa!ary of ten or
fifteen dollars week. Her debut cost
her s.. coo. The other is now in the bal
lot at the present time at Niblo's and is
the sole support of the mother whose
money was spent IN the vain efforts to
give this daughter leading position up
on the stage. The remainder of the
sixty-three heaven only knows where
they are. They were al failures"
The experience Of this manager is, it
may be readily supposed, merely repo-
ttion OF the experience OF all the rest.
Our greatest actresses began at the foot
of the ladder, and have slowly and labor,
iously worked their way up. For these
there was no debut in Juliet" 'Evadne'

NEAR Anaheim is located the $50

6pirtualists. They eat no meat Of any
kind, no eggs, milk, butter, bread, in
fact, nothing but fruits and vegetables,
and then only such as can be eaten un-
cooked. They believe that nature fu--
nishes everything necessary for man's
subsistence. Nothing passes their lips
except that which grows from the ground
and it must be eaten just as it grows.
They bold that 1t is as sinful to diet on
dried or preserved fruits as it would be
TO lunch on roast beef, plum pudding,
and ;imberger cheese. They run to the
very extreme OF vegitariansm. There is
no separate property, everything being
held IN common. Neither does the So-
ciety desire to accumulate wealth; nature
furnishes them with food, and they have
little need of money. 1t is needless to
cay that they hold the marriage ceremony

AMATEUR HEATHEN.

The small boy who has been well and
piously brought up hates the heather,
though policy compels him to conceal his
feelings. He enyies the heather small
boy, and at the same time looks upon him
as a selfish and remorseless absorber OF
Christian pennies. This is natural and
inevitable. The small boy is told that
his heather contemporary goes constantly
barefooted, wears very little clothing, Is
never washed, never goes to school, and
is never taught anything that is good and
useful. Moreover, the heather small boy
lives in country where tigers and other
delightful wild beasts abound, and where
the exciting spectacle of widow burn
ing to death in company with her hus-
bands copse-an attraction which nc
circus in this country has had the enter
prise to offer, Is frequently exhibited free
Of course, the small boy of Christian
lands envies the blessed lot of his heather
brother, and would give worlds had he
too been born a heather. Now, wher
this envious small boy is compelled II
give so per cent. of his pennies to the
heather. he feels that it is both unreas-
enable and unjust and his anger burns
against the heather small boy who, al
though rolling in every kind OF heather
luxury, meanly absorbs the scant wealth
of small boys who have had the mistOr-
tune to be born in Christian countries
He cannot avoid noticing that the grown
up folks who think that he should give
one-half of his pennies to the heather
do not divide their own property in tha
way, and he never drops copper in th'
collectors box without feeling that ne l.
the victim of moral blackmailing.

snake. about five feet long, resembling a
water moccasin, with the exception OF
having two legs about three inches long
within six inches of the tail. The feet
resembled those of a squirrel. 1t would
either crawl or rear upon Its legs and
Jump along. 1t would show fight. In
stead of coiling up and striking like
snakes generally do, it would stand upon
its feet, balance itself by its tail and
Jump at its enemy. The legs were COW
