A Troy, N. Y., dispatch of Aug. 18th, says: William Dunn, who escaped from Kingston in 1876, after being sentenced to three years in Sing Sing Prison for picking pockets, was captured in West Troy yesterday, where he had been iv- ing for three years an honest upright life. He recently became engaged to marry West Troy lady, and acquainted her parents with his history, but told them he was innocent of the crime for which he was sentenced. The parents objected to Dunn's attentions, and noti- fled the Kingston authorities He was arrested in barber's shop in West Troy, which he recently purchased. After his arrest Dunn made this statement: "In 1876 man was robbed in Kingston by three persons. I was arrested, and the victims hat and some money were found in my possession. was convicted, and sentenced to Sing Sing for three years. While was in the Kingston jail await ing conveyance to prison the Warden left the jail for short time in charge of another man. I immediately put on my hat and coat and walked out. The man in charge called me back, saying: Here, shut the door, I did as he requested and left.''

THE Louisville Courier-J Journal, dis cussing the improper use of money in politics, whether at the primaries or the general polls, remarks among other things: 'sMoney used at election de- bauches the voter, but it does more, it destroys the faith of the people in the verdict at the polls, and begets rest lessness which will, in time become des- perate. The manner in which hereto fore the minority, even after the most heated contests, have submitted to the will of the majority as indicated by the -baaai3ots, has been both the glory and the safety of the republic, but the time may come when this submissiveness will cease to be virtne. A purchased yer dict carries no weight with it, and cleo tions decided by money will settle noth- ing; but money in politics has another eff feet; it excludes the poor man from influ- ential positions. Speaking of members of Congress, proably having in mind the River and Harbor steal, it says: s.Di- reetly and indirectly their actions affect the value of millions of property and the price of securities of every kind. The temptation to take advantage of the knowledge which their position affords is very difficult to resist; indeed it is at times matter of much doubt to decide where lies the line which separates right and wrong, and
 .'Where self the wavering balance shakes
 It's rarely right adjusted"
 These things, it says, ''are well calcu- lated to excite uneasiness and alarm. They show how blunted the conciences of the public leaders, how they are swerved by self-interest from the straight path. It should arouse deep indigna- tion, but if indignation does not lead us to adopt certain imperative measures of reform in party, government and prac- tice, and in individual voting, it will not put stop to the pernicious practices which are 30 prevalent The remedy is Hith the people"

Hhe Nation c

Since it's consolidation with New York EVENING PosT, has increased its facili. ities in every department, enlarged its size to twenty-four pages, and added many able writers to its previous list. It is now pronounced by many of its readers to be better than ever before.
 Established in 1865, the NATION was a pioneer in this country as weekly journal of literary and political criticism of the highest order, conducted free from the controlof party or interest of any sort. Despite precarious support during the first few years, it held per sistently to its original aim until it's financial success was assured. Mean while 1t had become a recognized au- thority at home and abroad; it's editori- al management has been unchanged from the first and it's projectors intend that, with their present facilities, the NATION shall become more than ever be- fore the medium of the ablest thought of the time.

I'm funeral of Chip Smith at Anso- nia, yesterday, drew out an immense concourse of people. Smith was hung at New Haven on Friday. The process sion that accompanied the remains to the cemetery was more than half mile in length and the manifestations of honor accorded the deceased were never be- fors equalled in the village which was thsscene of Policeman Hayes's murder.
 Au the honor was shown over the dead
 Fay of the young murderer. No such Exhibition of sorrow was shown when sthe remains of the murdered policeman were taken to their last resting place.
 The funeral ceremonies of yesterday were more in the nature of honoring a hero than they were in keeping with the circumstances surrounding the young mans death. It is not often murderer who has suffered the extreme penalty of the law is made the subject of so much ceremony at his burial, and it is remark able that so many could be found to strew flowers on his grave and sorrow over his death. So much pomp and ceremony and sorrow over the young murderer's remains can only be excus- able on the ground that they were prompted by sympathy for the family who were grieving over the terrible fate of son and brother Hartford Times of Monday, Sept. 4th. -

Brighton Letter.
CONEY ISLAND. Sent. 9th.

OoNE4 ISLAND, OepC. OCn.
 EDITOR OF NEws:-My last letter left your readers in anticipation of my visit to the place at which this correspond ence is dated. A ride of three and one half hours by steamer from Bridgeport, passing New York City, David's, Hart's Blackwell and Randall's Islands; past forts Edwards and Schuyler, passing through Hellgate, brings us to Green point, distance of sixty-6v miles; and from there thence by rail over the N. z. and Manhattan Beach, narrow guage railway, passing through fine section of country adapted to the culture of various kinds of vegetable productions which always finds ready market. Passing onward, we reach our destina- tion, which is accomplished in four and one half hours-a distance in all of eighty-fve miles.
 The Manhattan Hotel is an imposing structure, six hundred and sixty feet in length, having spacious lawn fronting the sea, in which are beds of choice plants, and 8 fountain, and to the east is the bath house and vast amphiteatre containing three thousand, five hundred seats and near by pagoda East of this is the Oriental Hotel which is nearly as large as the Manhattan. From the last named IS the Marine railway, which ter inmates at Brighton. near the museum. Westward, on the shore are pavilions, and confectionery stands. Further on IS West Brighton, which is connected with Brighton by line of coaches, and the elevated railway, where trains leave every five minutes in every direction. The engines used hereto use borrow ed expression, resemble large "dry goods box on wheels with smoke stack in the centre" At this place are two long piers-one tweleve hundred, and the other thirteen hundred and sixty feet at the, further end of which is a steamboat landing. These piers are covered with roofs and afford extensive promenades, and fine view of the wa ter. This beach is perhaps more largely patronized than any other spot on the island.
 The street here as well as the walks are all concrete and are very broad and restaurants, hotels, ice cream saloons, soda fountains, photograph galleries, flying horses and all sorts of catchpenny concerns cover every available spot. The most elaborate of all the restaurants is attended exclusively by French wait. CTS and probably is unrivalled in all its appointments by anything at any sea. side resort without 8 single exception on the Atlantic coast. There are three music stands, one at each beach, where the best musical talent give concerts every afternoon, which includes Gil more's and Besmer's companies, and one day recently twenty five thousand people were estimated to have been present. There are many kinds ot amusements which draw large crowds daily, but as our sojourn here is draw. ing to close, we must bring our letter to an end. IDLEwuD.

So FAR this season the country gener- ally has been healthy There has been no great contagious or epidemic disease, like cholera or yellow fever, except. in Brownsville, Texas, and the yellow fe- yer is subsiding there. The southern cities have been quite free from this scourge. At the north we think the summer months have been healthier than usual, and the advent of the fall does not bring unusual or alarming cases of sickness. But in the changes in the atmospheric conditions from the high temperature of summer months to lower temperature of the fall and ap- preaching winter season, people should be careful of their health. Flannels are absolutely necessary for both old and young persons, to meet the sudden and great changes in the conditions of the weather and the temperature of the air. Exposure in the evening, without over- coats or wraps, is dangerous. Sitting Tn cool draughts of air brings on cold, and pneumonia, chills and fever, or some other acute disease, is liable to follow. A little care and caution will prevent much sickness and some fatal cases.
