however, find-which serves them quite right
that they have got little by their pains. The
man complained of, who did the thing because
he was told to do it and in ignorance of the
law, lies in Jail, without bondsman while the
company, which is the real culprit leaves him
there and itself suffers no damage of any sort.
Our special cable dispatches give clear and
interesting account of the deadlock as it can
now perhaps be called, upon the Land bill in
the British Parliament. This latest view of
the situation does not hold out much hope of
speedy solution of the difficulty. The Lords
to the Commons committed themselves to a
policy of obstruction in which they get no
support from public opinion. On the other
hand, the Government do not propose to
yield with the majority in the House intact
and the sentiment of the country enlisted in
their favor to an unusual degree. The dispatches
mention some curious proofs of the popular
disapprobatiOn of Lord Salsburys course not
the least of which is the fact that The london
Standard which has personal as well as polt-
zeal reasons for a friendly feeling toward the
Conservative leader. has condemned him I'M
sparngly. 1t is thought that if the Lords
should persist in their opposition, an autumn
session may be resorted to, with determine
ton to pass the bill before Christmas The
contingency has evidently been contemplated
that the Lords might refuse their consent even
then; but disputes of this kind usually end in
the surrender of the weaker party, and it is
not likely that the present instance will be an
exception to the rule.

The poor old White House is catching il in every
possible way 1t is pronounced from a sanitary point
of view" D disgrace TO the Nation what with its bad
plumbing, defective sewerage and miasmatic oca-
ton. We have not for time seen a single word
printed in favor of it, except that the President and
his family might continue to live in il safely ia Che
winter We do moi recognize the force of this sug-
geston. Nuisances are none the less dangerous be-
cause the temperature is such that they do not
offend the sense of smell-peraps they are more so
when they are not perceplible. If half which is
now said of the insalubrity of the White House be
true the Nation should ask nobody to live in it at
any salary or to run the risk of dying in IT, If the
evils complained of cannot be remedied il would be
better to destroy the building al once. If unfit to
live in, ii is unfit for anything. Perhaps however
there is exaggeration. The whole matter should be
referred rs soon possible TO a sanitary commits
sion. Let MS have a scientific opinion instead OF
mere conjecture.

for evening amusements there are two fine
concert halls, where one is sure to find respect
able company and hear good music, and some
of the theatres are open for those who care for
the drama out of season.
During the present summer we have had
only four really uncomfortable days in New
York. Few watering places can show better
record. hot night is rarely experienced here.
A sea breeze usually blows up the bay
all the evening, and, sweeping around
the city along the rivers, finds its way into
every street and avenue. No other great city
is so well situated for GOODNESS in summer.
Our streets are narrow and close together, il is
true and we lack shade, but we have tide
water on all sides of us, and day without n
refreshing breeze is rarely experienced 1t is
with good reason, therefore, that New-Yo
has become IL great summer resort No other
place affords such varied opportunities for en-
J0yment IN the warm season. Combined with
the substantial comforts and the many inter
ests OF city, the visitor has here wide
range of choice among the sights and expert
ences OF score OF attractive country and sea-
side resorts, all reached without much cxpen-
dIture OF money or time. Monotony, which
is the bane OF all regular watering places, does
not allct the visitor who comes to New York
for vacation enjoyment. His only trouble is to
