NEW YORK, Sept. /. 1879.
A week ago the streets of New York
wore the weary. hot look OF summer. but

Ing, and fashionable women, milliners
and shop keepers begin to look lively.
The first autumn leaf that falls is the sig
nal for this renewal of life. There have
been more people travelling this summer
than during any season since '73, and the
hotel keepers and theatre managers,
whose opinions are the barrometers of
prosperity, all agree that IL good time is
coming There will be more marrying
this fall than there has been since '69
and the thousands of newly-made mott
ers-in-law will congratulate themselves
that they are riding up on the food of
the fast-making tide Of prosperity. This
is phenomenal, for the average bache-
lor of Gotham is becoming every year less
and less marrying man. He can live

people would call them, that initiate
against the old-time spirit OF domestic
happiness. OF all the influences that
control society In this line. the most po-
tent is the idea that it obtains among the
free-thinking portions of city commune
ties. that quasi-honorable connections
may take the place OF orthodox marrying.
Those marriages In the thirteenth ar
rondissement as the French grisettes
call them, have all the advantages of the
institution. and none of the bother. The
knot is, as it were, tied in a silken thread,
and can be so easily cut or united that
the parties cling to each other just be-
cause 1t is so easy to get loose. There Is

monster may be held over fellow in
such a delicate and cunning way that

nance. While all other business has
been at standstill, the hotels have been
thriving briskly, particularly the down.

p1n Nafatch's peaks of snow,
Night holds ill nitabIe sway.
Where. but single hour ago
The crags and chaSms. high and low.
Resplcnd,n ut shonc with day.
From out the sky no star LAY shines
Upon the awful solitude:
While moaning through the tossing pines.
Like some unquict spirits brood.
The winds swept to and fro.
Aud seem in sudd-ncd mood
To breathe u wall of woe.
At first they only sighed,
But now they moan and sob;
And since the eyentIde
Their maddoned pulses throb
In quicker. faster tiow ...-.t
As their foeting footsteps glide
Ger the cold eNp"nse of snow.
And all the upper air
l. filed with drifting c,ouds
while fends that rcvel there
Are weaving shifting shrouds;
Tossing i'll endless whirl
They reel in goblin mrth
Aud then the shrouds they hurl
On t,mpest's wings to ear:h.
Twas 1cvcn oclyck near Bridger's G-p.
In station that swayed in the tempest's sweep,
Where lightning jerker enjoyed his nap,
When call from the Canon broke his sleep.
And he caught the words from the subtle clicks.
Send Binley down here with 46.'
Soon Binley had noun ted his iron steed
And the fires of the furnace glowed again.
As the ponderous monster devoured its feed,
And rolled from the side track on TO the main.
Out on the night where the snowhakes fell.
Out where the blasts of the tempests roar.
Binley shouted his friend farewell,
As he op, ned the thrcttle-vaive one notch more.
Then over the winding track he sped.
Where the pathway with chasms and crags was
lined;
The glare Of his great light cleaned ahead.
And the snow like brides veil streamed behind
And soon the sound of the clanking steel
Was drowned in the echoes from hill to hill;
He felt the engine sway and reel.
But the throttle went one notch further still.
And down the grade like courser fleet,
Plunging through mountains of drifted snow.
The engine plows through crusts of sleet.
And hurls a thousand feet below
The ponderous masses that block its way;
Throws them far to the left and right,
Into the black oblivious night,
To reach the Canon by break OF day.
And now old Binley feels the thrill
That the solder feels when he meets the foe;
He opens the throttle-valve wider still.
And his furnace burns with iercer glow.
| As the piston flashes in faster stroke;
| But firm IS a rock stands the engineer.
And in his honest old heart of oak
| There beats not the slightest pulse OF fear.
But soon the engine is running slower,
Though it's pathway lies on level grade
Aud then a tremor comes stealing DER
Binley's hand on the throttle laid.
There's a stacking up of the driving wheel.
While the engine struggles with human will;
Then slowly ceases the clank Of Steel
And the painting monster is standing still.
Thicker and faster the drifting snow
| Throws round its victim its winding sheet.
And qusnches the glare of the headlights glow.
As B!nlsy mutters. 81 give up, beat
Next morning, . snow-plow forced its way
To the spot where the buried engine lay;
They hewed path tn rough the frozencrust.
And then was the CHASTITY story told

The steamer DlnJee, which has several hun
dred more colored immigrants on board des-
tined for wyandotte, touched yesterday.
Train men on the Missouri Pacific railway
said that the Drought Rifles were pat-oli-
ing the shore, bound to keep them away
when they arrived All day Sunday the
streets of this city were filled with rumors
that the DuTfee had been at Wyandotte, but
had not been allowed to land there, and that
she was coming up the river to this place.
About five O'Clock, the levee here was
thronged with colOred people, looking con-
fidently down stream for the appearance OF
the boat they imagined was coming. Some
wags had strengthened the rumor by affirm
ing IL In all seriousness. II is
not likely that she will come up here at
all, even if not permitted to land her human
freight at the destined point.
The steamer Joe kinney, according to the
Globe Democrat, was taking on two hundred
and fifty immigrants on board Sunday morn.
ing, which representatives, of the Immigra-
ton Relief Committee of ST. Louis said
would be sent away and
LANDED AT SOME PLACE ABOVE wYANDoITE.
This may mean Leavenworth and it may
mean Atchison. The officers at the Fort say
that they will not be permitted to go upon
the Government Reservation here, as they
have not the right 20 permit them so to do.
THE RELIEF COMMITTEE
which was organized among the colored peo-
pie here, intend to canvass the city for sup
plies which will be stored in some building
here, to be distributed in case the Immigrants
come to Leavenworth-otherwi the sup
plies will be distributed among the immi-
grants at other places.
About two hundred of these immigrants
who have been at Wyandotte were sent TO
Lawrence Sunday, and twenty-eight came TO
Tonganoxie, in this county. The citizens OF
Wyandotte say that they will pay the differ
ence in the fare between that place aud st.
Louis and st. Louis and Atchison or this
p ace, evidently not desiring to keep them
away from there.
THE FOLLOWING LETTER
Is from a colored man who formerly lived
here, and is addressed to a firm in this city,
which speaks for Itself that there is some
cause for the exodus. The letter is:
LEoLA LANDING. NIss.,l
April IA, 1879.
Dear Sir Il write you this letter, the first
one in 80 long a time that / expect you
have forgotten me write for information
for my people, as many of them are
leaving the, South for the West, to better
their conditions. Many stories have been
told them. They are told that they can get
land with house Quilt upon It, and that
they have to pay nothing for It. know
that they can homestead Government land,
If they can find it.
So now, you can please write me all about
the whole matter, for l would be glad to
