certain amount of recreation is all night Tor
the militiamen at Peeksklll; but their nrs'
business there is to learn to be better soldiers
and for that reason some limit must be put 10
finn The officers of the 7th have done well
in nrohihiting mock drills and other ridiculous
performances of that kind. 1t will never DO 10

PHILADELPHIA is having an experience with
cable street railway, and that experience al
present is said to be pleasant. Ii 1t were sum
mer AWAY, the cable system might work well
in the Quaker City-if indeed the CT bles did moi
melt with the heat; but its success in winter in
this climate is still predetermined, Judging by

A noteworthy addition to literature pertain
ing to the Rebellion will bemade this fall III the
shane of a large volume from the hands OF Al
miral Porter 1t will treat OF the part playet
nv our naval forces in that great strife. Some
idea of its contents may be gathered by TIT

United States need be ashamed OF III
exploits.
From Cabell County, West Virginia, recently
there have been loud cries for help. The cru
failed last year, it was said, and consequen
famine and want were now prevailing. A relic
committee from Philadelphia has just returned
from the alleged suffering district, and report
that the inhabitants have no need OF assistance
1t is to be hoped that this thing will not be re
peated. If the charitable people OF the land ar
fooled in such a manner once or twice more
they viii not turn willing ear henceforth u
other appeals from the neighborhood OF Yves
Virginia.
The work of the Charity Organization Socl
ETY. in this city has been unique. 1t has oper
ated as q head-centre for hundreds OF othe
charitable institutions, enabling each to worl
more efficiently in its own special line OF beney
olence, without wasting its energies upon tn
undeservng or those guilty of imposture
What it has accomplished in decreasing beg
gary in New-York is alone worthy of recogni
ton. An article in another column indicate
the extent of its good deeds in various direc
tons, and its imperative need Of aid if it is t.
continue them.
The contest in the Illinois Legislature recent
over the United States Senatorship was remark
able for many things, not least among whle
was the fact that little bitterness OF feeling re
suited from it. The Democrats had the sens
to see that they were beaten fairly so far as tn
Republicans were concerned. Judge Tree, VIII
was one of the unhappy candidates, in tai
reported elsewhere has no hard words for hi
opponents. He seems to hold Death alone re
spousible for his bad luck, 'inasmuch as Tn
Democratic member whose vote was to sen
him to the Senate unfortunately died and mad
way tor Mr.. Weaver, a Republican.
