The Vacation Season.

The musicians will live on the
Sound, and the ping pong players will
go to Table Bay. The summer girls
will naturally go to the Isle of Man,
and those too old to be loved will nat
urally seek the Isle of Pines. DipSo-
maniacs will go to Bar Harbor, brew
ers to Behring Straits, while all re-
formed drunkards will go to Haddam.
The coal men will flock to Ashevile,
poets will go to Attica, geometricians
to Cuba, tramps to Bath, horseback
riders to Canterbury, funny men to
Chestnut Ridge, golf players to Bunker
Hill philanthropsts to the Bounty
| Islands. Boston girls to Chilli, and
| chiropodists to Cornwall.
Printers will go to Ems, aurists to
Erie pawnbrokers to Hooking Valley,
spirituaiists to Knoxville, burglars to
Lock Haven, Pullman car pOrters 10
Palm Beach, but there is some doubt
about the Filipinos going to Liberty.
Those who linger too long will go 20
Tarrytown.
All the stuffs will go to Turkey, Pro-
hibtionsts will go to the Water Gap,
and all practical jOkerS to Cape Col.
Some Wall Street men will go to Great
Bear Lake and others to Bull Run.
Folks troubled with insomnia viii go
| to Sleepy Hollow. Roulette players
will go to Wheeling, and poker players
| to Council Bluff. Fat men will go to
Great Neck, thin men to Littleton, and
melancholy men to Sulphur Springs.
The cooks will go to Pottstown, the
anarchists to Bombay, cabmen to
Hoboken, vivisectionists to the Cat
| skills, and all the shoppers to Paw
| Paw.
Pool players Will go to the Pyra-
mids, leather men to Morocco, mag
mates to the Rockies while those
whose fortunes are falling will so to
| Sag Harbor.
All peach growers will go to Pitts
burg, and the lace makers to Old Point.
| The confectioners will flock to Mt.
Desert, and the gossips to Peking.
AND FINALLY.
| Those whose thoughts are fixed on
| Heaven will go to St. Petersburg.
And those whose thoughts are in

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in ali
tho Leading Stocks.

New York, July 15.-Prices Of stocks
started upward with a rush, this morn
lrS, apparently as an extension ana q
broadening of the buying movement
which became conspicuous, yesterday, in
the Changers and PacificS. There was
chance of confident demand from new
sources and the opening selling of the
brokers which have been employed by the
Western contingent during the recent rise
did not affect the strength of the marke t.
This gave rise to the conviction that largz
capitalists who have hitherto held aloof
from the market We're coming in prepare
to continue the upward movement OF
stocks. There was active realizing in M.
O. p. and il few stocks under cove"
of this strength and the whole market ul-
timately gave way. There was a momen-
tary check TO the downward movement
effected by y rally in NJ. o. z. to a point
over last night, but the market gave way
again and remained generally below last
nights points with only few stocks re-
sisting the downward tendency. The mar
ket closed heavy and not far from the
lowest. The advance in Amalgamated
Copper was in expectation of action on
the dividend, tomorrow. The violent
slump in the corn market at Chicago and
the belief that the integrity of the corn
corner was threa ue:ed had much to do
with the break in tae market, as it was
feared that liquidation would be forced

Minister GriScom. who represents
Uncle sam ut the court of Persia,
seems 10 be 4 typical American hustler
upon whom oriental luxury has no ef-
feet. We have but little diplomatic
business with Persia ana he could take
life very easily if he 50 preferred. but
he has just returned from a horseback
ride of 1000 miles through the heart
of the Persian empire for the purpose
of stimulating American trade with
that country. No country in the world
needs a waking up any more than old
Persia and an American trade inVa-
sion will be just the thing for it. Min
lister Griscom was accompanied. by the
way. on his long. hard journey by Mrs.
Griscom. and the two must have given
Persia an idea of what American en-
terprse is like.

Brief DISPATCHES.

When n big man vindicates his

Reflections of a Bachelor.

With women making love is an art;
with men a trade.
Money is the root but lack of it is the
seed of all evil.
Getting experience is the most costly
form of dissipation.
There is no human creature who has
so vast knowledge how to pretend
to have no knowledge as a widow.
A woman seems to have an idea
that she might be thought needless
or negligent wife when she wakes VI
her husband in the night to ask him il

In summer, when the days are long,

AS meath the trees young lovers walk.
They wonder what the words may be
That make the girls cheeks like a rose;
And what he says-that gallant he

All, roses, you have rot the spell;
And lilies white, YOU must forego
The language in which lovers tell
The secrets only lovers know.
To be flower We're JOY enough,
If summer lasted all the year;
But autumn comes. and winds are rough
Roses and lilies disappear.

And triumph over winters snow;

Though mocking s. asons come and go.
