Down the Hudson-A Delightful Ending of Hot Day. OrJ rIJR HTrDsoN May

of Hot Day.
 ON THE HUDSON, May 25.
 It has been the hottest day of the year of 1880 to-day, for the thermometer has stood all the way from 9oo to 95 Q in the shade in Albany and Poughkeepsie, and being so early in the season it has been unusually oppres- sive. It is now nearly o'clock, and as we move down the river cool breeze is felt, made by the onward movement of our boat. We read great deal about the beauties of this most delightful of American rivers, but no one who has travelled its surface will be willing to admit that the descriptions have been better than the facts warrant. To feel in quiet, meditative mood at the close of such day as has just passed and silently sit while the pictures come and go as you pass, just at the twilight, is an enjoyment which no one can help but feel no matter whether he be ''poetic" or not
 At this instant we glide by large iron blast furnace, and the red-hot metal sparkles as the busy men catch it in their great tongs and pass 1t from one to the other through the powerful rollers that each time lessen it's diameter and increase it's length. I hear them all join in a chorus of song as they work, for they are singing as we'll as working with a will. Their rough and untrained voices echo in the mountains on the other side of the river, under the shadow of which close down to the very waters edge, are neatly painted white cottages built. I see the little children padding in the water at their very door sills, and through the open window the watchful mother at her household tasks. Just near is the father, at the close of his days work fishing with those curious nets used nowhere else, to my knowledge, except by those living here. They are made exactly square and held in position by four flexible poles from 8 center, each about six feet in length, and the bait is placed in the middle of the net, and when a fish attempts to get it the net is suddenly drawn up, forming at once bag, and the fish is caught. ~Rowboats are out by the dozen, many of them contain ing young girls and older ladies, all of whom seem to understand the handling of the oar as well as the men. How happy they all seem. hear them talk and laugh for a mile away almost as plainly if they were but 8 few rods distant As the day closes and the shadows of night gather, the objects both upon the water as we'll as on the shore lose their distinctness, and can now only be seen in outline. A train of cars goes laundering by, seeming to shake the very water under us. It passes us as easily as if we were going in the other direction, and in moment is out of sight. One by one the passengers leave the deck and slowly go to their state rooms, and as the chill of nightfal gathers, the damp in the air. felt only on the water, makes you gather your wraps more closely about you The evening has passed in the delightful enjoyment of thought, and the time has come to retire.

Is doing what he can at home. His letter in1 the New York Tribune yesterday, though brief, was very strong presentation of the objections to Grants nomination. In an in- terview with him it was remarked that if he were at Chicago he would be sure to obtain respectful hearing. In reply he said My influence would be greatest in private conver- sations with the Grant members of the con- vention." "I could demonstrate to them the peril that turks in the nomi- nation of General Grant, and point out instances in which great men have voluntarily withdrawn after it has been shown that their candidature was embarrassing to the party Twice persuaded Henry Clay to forego a nomination in which I foresaw his defeat, and twice Daniel Webster withdrew his name in compliance with my request. At length I saw his opportunity, and bade him enter the lists and win. And he would have won but for his Alabama letter.

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat, Lungs and Ner- vous System.
 For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. Bis recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, rendering treat ment so effectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. LghthiH takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office.

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. LghthilIs success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eficial that cheerfully recommend him othe confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in its worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of physi- elan so skillful as Dr. Lighthil in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

Destructive Influences.


 Doubtless countless myriads of living crea- lures come into existence, of which by far the greater part must be destroyed One aphis may be the parent of 5,9O4, 900, 900 in dividuals in five generations, and when these are swallowed up by lady-birds and other en- emies in mass, it is no minute individual va riation that can avert their fate. The un- checked produce of onepair of herrings would stock the Atlantic in a few years, until there was no room to move and when these are engulfed by shoals, as mouthful for the Baloenoptera, they can.make as little struggle for their existence as the grass can make that the OK icks up, or the vegetation of a dis trict that is devastated by locusts. It is the unwritten law of Nature that one race must die that another may live this other, in its turn, subserving the same end, and so, con- stantly until the cycle be complete. Without this law, against which there is no appeal, na- ture would be chaotic impossibility The destructive influences so predominant that the carnage is sindiscriminate and with out Strupple

 For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life misery. l would wake up at night with a sense of sui location, as though some one was stranglng me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was SC severe that was afraid to go to bed, and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago placed myself under Dr. Lighthill's care and there suit of his treatment has been truly wonder fu1. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as 8 baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like 8 new man In fact such 6 change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Lighthill to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am 64 years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of Dr. Lighthin is assured

 Hartford, Feb. Il, 1880. Dr. E. B.Lighthil:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and sense of duty to tho public take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh When placed her under your professional care she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved per- feet success In the eof my experience I have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet como under my ob- servation, and in fact is so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

The Massachusetts Commissioners of Pris- ons are calling the attention of mayors of cities and se1ectmen of towns throughout the State to the desirability of taking advantage of the statute passed by the last Legislature authorizing the appointment of probation officers on the system which has been estab- lished in Boston for year and half, and has borne such good results. The commis- sioners say that there are many persons ar- rested every year., who, if put under the care of wise and discreet officer of this kind, with the restraint which such probation would impose, would be far more likely to reform than they would be if they were al lowed to go to prison, whence they too ire quentIy fall into the permanent criminal classes. Provision is also made in this law for the release of convicts from imprison- ment before the expiration of their sentences, upon the recommendation of probation of ficers, with the consent of the courtss when they appear to have reformed. The expert. ment is well worth trying in other States.

The French Minister of Agriculture has caused placard to be posted which it would be wise for citizens of all countries to have before their eyes. It tells farmers, sportsmen, boys and others what creatures not to kill, as follows:
 Hedge Hogs-Live mostly mice, small rodents, slugs and grubs-animals hurtful to agriculture. Don't kill the hedge hog
 Toads-Farm assistant, he destroys twen- ty to thirty insects per hour. Don't kill the toad.
 Mole-Is continually destroying grubs, larva, palmer worms and insects injurious to agriculture. No trace of vegetation is ever found in it's stomach Don't kill the mole.
 Birds-Each department in France loses several millions annually through insects. Birds are the only enemies able to contend against them vigorously. They are the great agricultural assistants. Children, don't dis turb their nests.

The New York Tribune makes another careful estimate of the strength of the promi- nent candidates for the Presidency. It gives Grant 315 votes. The Grant organs, on the oth- CT hand, give him all the way from 3S7 to All, and some of them hint at even more than the latter number. There is big mistake some-

It is generally conceded that a majority of the Republican National Committee are op- posed to Grant. This being the test vote may be reached very early in the pro- ceedings. It is thought that the committee may select a chairman and instruct Senator Cameron to present his name to the eonven- tion for election, which MT. Cameron, as chairman of the committee, cannot refuse to do. If Grant man should then move to substitute some other name for that proposed by the committee, it would furnish an oppor- tunity for trial of strength between the Grant and the anti Grant men.

Six years ago became hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that it annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along. In this condition I placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Iighthill, who sue ceeded in restoring me to perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.
