clear-eyed men, just such fellows as rot
through the /" Valley Of Death I" at Il
Orimea, or who stormed the redonbts
Kafr-el-Dwar the other day in Egyp
they are men Of business. They can
over here to do certain thing aud the
have done it in the most business ill
manner; there was no chance about i
no luck, nothing Of that sort, it ":
good square, honest " ork, and they d,
serve all they have received. We hay
learned this much aud it is worth all
cost, and that is, when we enter int
contest with Englishmen VIC have n
time to fool away. Another thing "
lack is the concentrated national spiri
which takes pride in citizens well-dt
ing. When the British Rife Team get
back to England there is not a chimney
sweep from London Docks to Mile En-
who won't roar himself hoarse over thei
success; clubs will fete them, munici
palities will greet them-perhaps th
Lord Mayor will receive them at Guild
hall. Success means honor, and defea
if honestly,encountered, is no disgrace
"'rry again, me boy" is the Englisl
motto, and tue consequence is that mel
are encouraged to exertiuns, which with
ont snch Incentives they would eve
lack. All honor to the English Rifle
Team. The reception given them a
Manhattan Beach by the 18th Regimen,
Of Brooklyn was a splendid affair, and +;
fitting close to one Of the most exciting
and remarkable rifle matches that We
have had in this country.
The week has been devoted mostly to
politics, and the exodus of politicians
has purified the moral atmosphere fo1
the time being at least. For two OF
three days mans watch or his breast
pin would have been quite safe anywhere
in the vicinity Of the City Hall, though
would not like to insure either of them
when The needy horde gets back from,
Syracuse and Saratoga. Frank Spinola
carried his point, and the Tammany del
egat:on, five hundred strong, went off in
a blaze Of re-works-rockets, torpedoes,
flags and music, as Gen. Spinola re-
marked, "Just to let 'em know that we're
IL comin'." There is no doubt but the
people of Syracuse were aware of their
arrival, and satisfied that their exodus
from that city will call for prayer aud
in all the churches.
Summer has not left Ms altogether, al
though we are getting towards the end
Of September. During the entire sum-
mer we have scarcely experienced any
thing like the melting beat that VIC have
been subjected tu in the week which is
past-it was that dreadfnl sultry heat
which deGca all attempts to keep cool =
neither lager or ice-wate, nor milk punch,
nor any Of these temperance drinks with
which the condition of the atmosphere
8 amelioratel were Of any avail. From
Monday to Wednesday we were expect
hg every minute to be slashed into by
;he new comet, when a sharp shower on
Wednesday evening put us out Of our
misery.
The rush Of fall business is something
immense. For blocks and blocks in the
iicinity of all our large wholesale
lonses the streets are lined with pack
ny cases, though we are shipping them
way by thousands; the shipments seem
o make not the slightest impression OH
lie general result; each new day brings
orth a new lo.., and where the supply
zones from is n mystery. 1t would real
y seem as it H. b. Claf1in, Cooley, Bates
Z Coz, Jatfray and others have shipped
way goods enough to empty their stores
} dozen times, but when you go into
hem you find them stuffed full from
(oor to ceiling, and yet there are hun
lreds of men busily packing, night and
lay, but the stock does not seem to give
MT.
The little Sixth avenue Jew, Sam |
)breight, who was arrested by his family
$ Il lnnatic, and who caused the police
o much trouble, has just turned up in "a
ew character. After his discharge from
he lunatic asylum lie took board with |
is wife (who was the cause of all the |
rouble) at 4 fashionable boarding house,
nd soon ran up a bill of $55, and as Sc
urity for the payment he gave his wife's
runks. On Tuesday couple Of officers
ppeared and arrested him again as Il lu
attic, and claimed the trunks by an order
the.court. The boarding woman re-
lctantly gave them up, but soon dis
Dvered that tue officers were bogus, the
rrest fraud, and that it was ruse got
p by Mr.. -Obreight and his former bar
eepers TO get his wife's trunks ont of
le house. 1t looks now as if the late
matte might possibly find his way to
le penitentiary.
Big rise in oft; the market looming;
ther stocks on tile ragged edge and look
Ig more SO.
Yours truly, BROADBR1M.
