The Seabright Epidemic-HIr. Andrews
 Has Relapse.

LONG BRANCH, Aug. 17.-H. w. Andrews, the brother-in law of Cyrus W. Field, jr., who is lying i'll with typhoid fever at the Hotel Bellevue near Seabright, had change for the worse to day, and Mir. Field and his physicians Drs. Field Jane, Way and Myre, announce his chances of death and recovery equal The severe storm of yesterday and the sultry, damp atmosphere of to-day has unfavorably affected both MT. Andrews and Mrs Levy, but the latter has improved so much that the physicians do not fear any alarming lapse. The three servants are rap idly recovering. Judge Sickles' son is more comfortable to day and his physician thinks he will probably recover. In the vicinity of Parkertown, where much of the mud dredged from the Shrewsbury river has been dumped, many of the native residents are afflicted with malaria of as erious type. The High land hills, which have never been disturbed since formed by the hand of nature, are be- ing cut into avenues for the Highland Camp Meeting association and Judge Hiltons park, and it is contended by the river improvement engineers that much of the nal ,ria among the permanent residents is caused by the overturning of this new ground and not by the filling of the marshes with the mud gath cred by the government dredges.

 LONG BRANCH, Aug. 17.-William Kent, as- sistant appraiser in the New York custom house in the silk department, made a state msnt this morning before the tariff commis- sion, giving the results of his experience in the importation and taxation of silk and silk-mixed goods. His general idea was the abolition of the distinction between certain classes of silk and silk mixed goods He said that the duties on silk goods ranged from 40 to POO per cent. The duties, he thought, should be simplifed. He also expressed the opinion that the duties on silk goods might country were on firm foundation and had become very wealthy.

 WASHINGTON, Aug, 17.-A young tinsmith, named James Gift, shot and killed his wife this morning about 1O:45 o'clock in the Wolfe street tunnel of the Midland railroad in Alexandria, infiicting wounds of which she died. Gift married some time ago Miss Mollie McKenny, daughter of Captain Nc Kenny, Potomac waterman. He had been quite jealous of his wife, handsome and had been often interrupted. Their house is on Wilkes street near the Midland tunnel, and this morning he invited his wife to take trip to Washington and as a short cut to the ferryboat he proposed to walk through the tunnel. In the tunnel, which extends on Wolfe street from Fairfax to Lee streets, he drew a revolver and shot her three times in her head in her arm and across the right ear.

The Two villages.
fFrom Letter in Cincinnati Commercial.]

Very many years ago-it was before
the war-I was in company with Pey-
ton s. Symmes and VIM, w Fosdit K,
both now deceased, In Hume's "Musty
Ale" saloon. on Main street, between
Third and Fourth. Cincinnati. It was
q quiet and gentlemanly resort. much
frequented on account of the excellence
uf the peculiar beverage from, which it
derived Its name. On this particular
occasion Mr.. Symmes recited from
memory with much effect, for the delec-
tation OF Fosdick and myself, some very
beautiful verses, I have never been
able to repeat them. remember that
they affected poor Fosdick- to tears,
and made touching and. as have In
timated, lasting impression upon my
less susceptible temperament. asked
for a copy of the verses which Mr.
Symmes promised me. but from some
unexplained reason never obtained
them. have often sought for them
and inquired after their authorship but
uDsuccessfully. Ifhave twice advertised
for them, once in the Commercial and
once in New York paper, without any
response. A day or two ago, to my graf
flied surprise, met with them in the
Yeonadn. of this city, They were sent,
that paper explained IN brief editorial,
by lady of Chattanooga, and taken
from an old scrap book. As the copy
indicates its original appearance in the
Yeondn, am led to believe that Frank
fort and its cemetery furnished the
theme The latter is = "'viiIsge on the

TIE TOUCH OF sArUBs.

Two armies covered hill and plain,
Where Rappahannock's waters
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
OfBattle's recent slaughters. -t
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In meads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun ofelements
Slept in Its hid embrasure.
The breeze SO softly blew, 1t made
No forest leaf TO quiver,
And the smoke of the random cannonade
Rolled slowly from the river.
And now where circling hills looked down,
With canon grimly planted,
Ger listless camp and silent town.
The golden sunset slanted.
When on the fervid air there came
A strain. now rich. now tender.
The music seemed itself aflame
With days departing splendor.
Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with flute and horn.
And lively clash of cymbal. r,
Down focked the soldiers to the bank,
TIL margined by its pebbles;
One wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,"
And one was gray with "Rebels."
Then all was still-and then the band,
With movements light and tricksy,
M de stream and forest hill and strand,
Reverberate with "Dixie."
The conscious stream, with FURNISHED glow,
Went proudly DER its pebbles
But th -illed throughout its deepest aow,
With yelling of the Rebels"
Again pause-and then again
The trumpet pealed sonorous
And Yankee Doodle was the strain,
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shore forward flew
To kiss the shining pebbles;
Loud shrieked the crowding boys in blue.
Defiance to the "Rebels."
And yet once more the bugle sang
Above the stormy riots;
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned a holy quiet.
The sad. lone stream, its noisele ess tread
Spread DER the glistening pebbles;
As silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the "Rebels."

That plaintive notes appealing;
So deeply "Home, Sweet Home'' had stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.
Or blue or gray, the soldier sees
As by q wand Of fairy,
The cottage meath the live-oak trees,
The cottage by the prairie.
Or cold or warm his native skies,
Bend their beauty o'er him,
Sending the tear. mist in his eyes
The dear ones stand before him.
AS fades the iris after rain
In April's fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain,
And daylight died together.
But memory walked by music's art,
Expressed in simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the "Rebel's' slumbers.
And fair the form of Music shines
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still mid wars embattled lines
Gave this one touch of nature.
