Summer Hotels are frequently designated by
NE Government as regular Post Offices. Before
forwarding their orders for The TRIBUNE
readers at summer resorts wiU do reN to aScer-
tain the exact official title of the Post Office at
4chjch then expect to receiUe their mail Delay
and correspondence sciH be aroided by so doing
Baccalaureate sermons were the order of the
day yesterday in many of the colleges through
but the land. Some idea of what the good
tnen In the pulpits had to say at Princeton,
Cornell, Brown, Rutgers and Harvard will be
found in THE TRIBUNE's dispatches. All the
advice that was gwen was good, and most of
It was of the orthodox most orthodox.
Sorrowful comment will be made on the sad
coincidence In the deaths of Mr.. James H.
Rutter and his wife. Mr.. Rutter died on
Friday and Mrs. Rutter yesterday. Her health
had been seriously impaired for a long time,
but the knowledge of her husbands death,
which 1T was deemed wise to impart to her,
fastened her own.
b A posse of policemen would be in the RICH
place along the banks Of the Harlem on Sunday,
and they would only be doing their duty toward
God and man if they put stop to the betting
bn Gput up" boat-races which are rOwed in
that pleasant neighborhood on the first day of
xhe week. If the laws against gambling are to
be enforced any where there is not better place
In the city to begin in than just below High
Bridge.
Several New-York and Brooklyn clergymen
took ND the cause of practical Christianity
yesterday, and properly and appositely argued
IN favor of the half-holiday movement. They
pointed out emphatica1ly that all work and
no play not only makes dull men and women,
but often bad men and women; and they
urged upon overs anxious employers meditation
upon the text about laying up treasure in
Heaven, the point of which 20 revision OF the
Scriptures thus far has blunted.
The coming of a neat phrase has often made
che political fortune Of q Frenchman; but as
this country is not France, and as General
Bragg is not Frenchman, he does not seem
to have profted much from his famous utter
Apce In regard to Mr.. Cleveland" They love
him most for the enemies he has made" Per-
haps the reason General Bragg has obtained no
feward for his telling sentence is that it is not
true; perhaps also 1t is because both he and the
Postmaster General want to succeed Mr. Saw
Yer in the United States Senate some day, and
General Villas does not mean that his rival
ihall have the Administration and the office
holders of Wisconsin at his back when the time
Tor the fight arrives.
Ex-Governor Cornell comes to the rescue OF
the victims Of insomnia, and argues in
letter to The TRIBUNE that the frequent blow
he Of steam whistles on railroads probably In
6eases the number of sufferers from this exas-
8erating malady. There can be no question
hat locomotive engines shrek oftener and
moro shriliy in approaching towns and road
crossings than there Is any need Of. The habit
Has long been nuisance, and in some States it
u tho subject OF legislation. Whether it actual
y produces chronic insomnia may be open to
discussion but Governor Cornells theory is
1iksly enough, and II In the opinion Of physi-
