THE CHEAP TRIPPER.  ec The übiquitous cheap-tripper has invaded Saltburn' and Saltburn resp tability shudders at being forced into close contact with the vulgar multitude. It must be admitted that the ffliction was almost 0 joaConedcar and Saltgreater than a could be borne. 5,000 cheap-trippers from the bennnighthteedynrerkgisohnirse at a st et Rt were stranded up burn, and left to amuse themselves as best theyg p waterin could. These laces, utterly unprepared for such a visitation, were ransacked by the hungry . men of Consett, and in many cases ransacked in vain. Food could not be had; drink Wit, procurable; ardent spirits in empty stomachs produced their usual results, and many deplorable scenes ensued. It is greatly to be regretted that Many of the 5,000 who enjoyed themselves at that beautiful watering-place on Monday should have left behind them the proprieties and decencies of civilization, but we must emphatically condemn that exclusive spirit which would make Saltbarn, and not only Saltburn, but every other place in which nature is to be found in her loveliest guise, the preserve of the wealthy. We frankly admit that the cheap-tripper is somewhat of a nuisance, especially to those whose chief object in selecting a place in which to spend the holidays is privacy; but it is one thing to admit that his presence is far from agreeable to ourselves, and another to demand that he should be summarily suppressed. In the present year of grace it is surely too late deliberately to propose to exclude the multitude from the enjoyments of beautiful scenery and delightful sea-bathing, merely that the pleasure of the few may not in any way be impaired. Each one of the 5,000 invaders had as much right to the beauties of Saltburn as the sit or and quite possibly experienced just as muchw enjoyment as the fastidious gentlemn who 1, not regrets that the Railway Company -Av 4.. closed the entrance to the watering place ~ a' which he has taken up his abode hi gra:l2,lllg admission only on condition of the PaYritut of high fares.

The Times says that the returns of the regular forces in the United Kingdom prove beyond dispute that Mr. liarcourt is right in saying that we are now maintaining for home service a larger army than was thought sufficient in most yearlof the great wars.
