Decline of Harmless Lunnties--- Danlel Pratt, the G. A. T. The Lyric Drama--Journalists as Luna- tics. From Our Own Cerrespondent, ‘Nzw Yorx, Sopt. 11, 1873, During tho past’ week, the tralus and stosm- boats have boon taxed to thoir utmost in bring- ing back the summor-spleadora from the springs, sonsido, mountalns, and every niral nook and corner in which metropolitans could hope to find coolness, change, aud shade. TIIZ BUMMERERS RETURNING IN OROWDS, It 18 ostimntod that fully 100,000 persons havo sxchanged tho country for the town within soven or cight davs, sud tho stroam ia still largoly and ntoadily flowing in. Autumn Justified tho almanno this sonson,—indeed, nn- ticipatad it by » fortnight. Cool and stormy waathor, continued day after day, will ompty a watoring-place like tho small-pox. Baratogs, Newpore, Loug Branch, and Capo May aro nearly dosorted, and most of the hotels will close eithor this or tho coming wook. Tho same note of disantisfaction arisos from all the sum- mor hostelries. Not ono of them, 8o far as can bo loarned, has made auy money, and tho great mnjority have sustained sorious loss. Tho mon- son is declared to lave been tha worat on rocord, and the out-of-town Donniface rockons up his accounta with a lugubrious visage. WATERING-PLACE LOSSES. Long Dranch has suffored loast, and Cape: Mny mext, Then come Baratoga and Nowport, which latter is diminishing evory yoar in hotel-patronage, while its villa- population is augmenting. Atlantio City, c- cording to renort, has nearly ruined ite land- Jords. The Whito Mountain inns aro far bolow thoir average roccipts, and Mount Dasort, Ry, Westerly, Watch IMiil, Narraganselt Pler, Olif- ton, Bharon, and Richfiold Springs, with Nisg- ara, Greoubrior, Whito Sulphur, and other re- ports, show o Inmen{able falling off in recoipta. T'ho watering-place hotel-koopers had oxpoected an unusuelly large patronage, and had mado the amplost proparation therefor. Consequently, their pecuniary detriment is groater than it would have beon othorwiso, and they are pos- sessod of 8o littlo hope that many of thom have oot tho cournge to contomplate anothor season. An arithmetio man, who claims to spenk by tho card, avars that #1,100,000 will not cover tho losses of the prin- cipal resorts durlng tho summor just past, At foast half-a-dozen failuros of prominent iand- lords are bruited, and sbundaut talk of com- ounding with croditors floats on Northern and outhorn breezes. DEARTI OF EOCENTRICS, The death of Beau Hickman reminds me of bow fow ecceontric and mnotorious characters BManhattan bas at present. 1 doubt if there has beou any time in twenty years when tho city bas had such a puucity of human oddvoss. We used to have on hand & ecoro of harmleass luna- tics wao furnishod roporters with paragraphs aud the publlo with entortainment, tho yoar round. ‘I'hero was Miko Walsli, the Polish Count, tho King of Hungury, the Lime-kiln Man, the Rat- Charmer, tho Congo Pirato, Stophon I¥. Brancli, Tunj.cctor Boolo, Count Johannos, the Itinerant Orator, tho Pealni-singing Tailor, and I know not how many others. Some of these avo still alivo, in and ont of nsano asylums ; but thoy Bave ceated to uttract attention, and might og weil ho aosd for oll that is known of them. T1mos huve changed. Now York has grown so Jarge and ko busy thot nothing loes than an enr-bquakoe will excito any genoral notice, Miko Walsh was wout'to draw o crowd on every cor- ner, and McDouald Olark, tho Mad Poot, usually hud & train of idlors and boys, and blocked up tho otreots when he rooited his sorio-comio verses, Now tho eccentrics of a whole gouera- tion combinoed would not make a ripple whora ono of them formorly made & billow, V7HO 18 DANIEL PRATT ? Almost the only fool honored by occasional mention is Danicl Pratt, the Great American Tyuveler, und burdly anybody knows who he is, Ho was formorly a printer, I understand, and, nover having possessed much (i'aud sente, was mudea npiversal butt of by his fellow-craftamen, uatil Lo lost tho little senno Nature bad provided bim will, Ho went to Liverpool once in s sail- ing-vostal, staid threo or four weeks in Eng- tund, roturned Lomo, nud talked sa copiously of what he had seen abroad that his brothor-com- puzitors dubbed Lim tho Groat American Trav- eler. They ran all sorts of saws on him, pub stories into his mouth of his wanderings in Asin Minor, Greonland, Australia, and Ethiopia; snd so bewildered the poor dovil that he ecame to beliove not only that he had $uld thom, but that ho Liad actually been in thase countries, Since that time, ho haf never boen moro than 300 miles from New York; nnd yot he is a positive monomaunino on the subjoct of travel, His acquuintances, awaro of this, keop ont of hia way for fosr of the fute of Narcissus. ‘They fraquontly sond hiim to cortain persvus by tollinig biim that those persous are deoply jnter- ested in foroiga lauds, and would be delighted to hear Lia account thoreof, ‘Clis is o stauding guhe among typos, and is put off upon any one Loy can think of, PRATT'S METHOD is to approach g victim with the remark; “I should like Lo toll you tho story of my travels;” aud, if the victim bo amisblo and pationt, Lo wil bo compelled to listen to ou incoherent gallimatia for fully half an hour, wiien the racountour will apply for o loan of 60 or 25 ceuts, by tho way of pareuthesis. The vietim will ubually pay that price on gondition that he shall Lear no more, and Pratt will go off in search of new beings Lo immolate on tho altar of superlative prosiness. By such contributions bo manages Lo live in o wisorable fashion, and, as he has & vigorous oconstitution, and no bad hebits 84 reepects himsolf, there is danger of his becomiug a centevarian. ‘The only ade vantagoous uso to which Pratt might bo put is in the formation of artosian wells, If ho wore placed upon thoe spot to be bored, and turnod round o cegiain pumber of times, ho would as- suredly reath the antipodes.

Sm: Will you do me the favor to insert in the columns of Tug Tmisunx tho folllowing brief reply to an articlo published in tho Ohicngo Times of Sunday lnat, headed, *Women in the Trades and Professions ?" F Tho writer of that article has cither willfally perverted, or unintentionally misstated—wo hopo the lattor—the roal truth as to what women aro notually doing id tho professions. And, ns the writor enrcastically aslks ** What has be- como of tho fow dozen girls who have been graduated from law-schools during tho past three yeara ? wo claim the privilega of affording the dosired information, and we do 8o with = groat deal of pride. g . Tho writor says, further, * Thoy are not plod- ding to prosperity la dlngy offices, lilte the boys who graduated with thom.” Pray, how doos tho writer know? He or she immedintely arrives at tho rash conclusion that, bocauso these girls do not etand out prominently bofore the ey of tho [mhlic, thoy must, nocossarily, have “dosorted o profession, and s1e now ‘‘tying gorgeons ribbons round their waiats, in protty boudoirs,” and are dreaming, not of *‘groatnoss and distinction,” but of “‘a pair of auburn whisk- era.” All of which is, of courso, lamentably shocking. > A Now, while it is an easy matter to make broad and swooping assertions, and to dismisa a sub- joct with a majostio wava of the hand, it is quite another mlufi to support tho assertions thus mado by good and sufficiont evidouce. Again, allowing, for thoe sake of argument, that girl- llwyfll‘l do presume to dream of ' auburn whisk- ers,’ and men-lawyers war eloquont over ‘igolden ourls,” are they doin, more than_the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve have hoen doing ever since the world wan, and will undoubtedly continue to do #o long 88 tha world shall oxist 7 Human nature is hu- man nature ; and that would be a vory flimsy ro- form that would eck to establish itself by ovor- turning tho laws of nature, Moreover, it is no mora gortain that fl:leyem dream of **auburn whiskers” than that young men grow senti~ mental and romantio over **golden curls,” And it is not fair that tho girls should be credited }'rmlx the sina of botb, for the admiration is mu- ual. Then, supposs they do admirs gny ribbons, snd strive to rondor themselvon as attractivo as poseible, what of it? Thoy would not be true women if they did not. It is as mnch thoir am- bition to bo truo womun as to be successful and honorable lawyers. God gave thoma love of the beantiful, and they have » porfeot, absolute, and indefopsible right to gratify it. Thoy nover had any {dea of boing ashamed of the naturo God avo them, Supposs the girls plead * guilty 0 both thoro accusations, doosit follow that they. negleot thoir business ? Not at all, Perhaps the' writor does not know that the Bupreme Court of Iilinols abaolutely prohibited women from the practice of tho law until tho Legislature ot 1872 compollod them to mako the amende honorable, And {sn't the Inquiry of the writer rather prema- ture in view of thisfact? The law of the Stato roquires a student 1o hevo studied law continu- ously for two veara before applying for admis- gion, and the law which admits females into the profession has only baen in exiatence a littlo over a year; which would seom eatisfac- torily to nccount for tho fact that but one woman has availod herself of the law thus passed, and she had pursued her studios for two yours brforg thp pasuage of wnid law, and I8 now working quietly and por- sistontly in the ** dingy oflice™ which the writor refers to.

On the 12th of this month, your corraspond- ont, with sovon others,—throe women and four men,—startod from this clty for Middle Park. Four of tho party rode ponics, and the others had transportation, with the supplios, firo-arms, and bedding, in a wagon drawn by two mules, where the ronds woresmooth and not too steep, and by foot tho remainder of the dis- tanco. Our nnticipations of enjoymont and ad- venturos woro grenily enhancod by tho pros- pect of A GRAND INDIAN mOKT. About 200 Ute Indians have a reservation wost of the mountains, in which is included part of the Park. In fact, thoy claim it all f6r & hunt- ing-ground. On thoir occasional Logging and thieving expeditions this side of tho rango, Dr. . Roid, a physician of this city, has long been ac- oustomea to doal out to thom generous dosos of ipecac, castor-oll, and othor similarly-palatable articles, for which they havo s wonderful liking. Honco ho is hold by them in great eateom and high roverence as a medicine-man. And thoy sent sord to him, about the firat of this month, that, if ho would como over to the Park, thoy ‘would recomponae him for his modical wervicos, by joining with him, and as many others as might accompany him, in s grand hunt, con~ ductod aftor the manner of their tribe. OUR DRIVER WAS AN OLD MOUNTAINEER, aman oqually skilled in handling the roin, tho rifle, or tho fishing-rod. Every specios of gama, {from & pine-squirrel to a cinnamon-bear, from a grouso to an eaglo, is wont to come down to him, sa thoe coon did to Crockett, without shooting. The moment ho drops his hook in s mountain- stream, the luctiost of trout all turn over on thoir backs, come to the surface, and allow them- solves to bo drawn nnrosiating to the banka, o has traveled over the mountains beneath the blistering rays of an August sun and throngh the blinding snow of Decomber storms. He hng slopt, with equal comfort and meourity, upon grassy mountain-slopes that had beon warmed by day by a mid-summor sun, and in a holo that had ‘boon dug fathoma doop in the snows of mid- thie mountain-sides, and every grassy plat and miniature park that adorn their slopes, canons, snd valloys, and is familiar with evor rack and boulder that go to mako up tho groat rugged ohain of tho Continont. No band of tourists can thoronghly enjoy an excursion over tho mountaing and through tho Parke unless it bo made under thoguidanco of an'old moun- taineor, It is trus—unless I am drawing a gen- eral conclusion from too limitod an experience— that, in his suporior knowledgo, the ‘‘old cam- paiguer” trents the tourists g thongh they had but fow rights that he was bound to respect, and no privilogos at all, to speak of.

Ho beatows upon novices with the rod and the un, in their inevitablo failure aud cortain ill- uck, o pitying contempt that must bs enjoyed to be apprecisted. Aud be thon intensifies their exasporation by moustrous storios of tho number of trout of enormous size ho cought, and the quantity of gama he shot, just the yoar, the month, or weok befors, in tho oxact plices that were tho sconos of thelr igno- mivious failures, And, despito the acouracy and oxtent of is professod kuowledge, no informa- tion can bo oxtracted from him, .oxcopt by a vast deal of skiliful cross-questioning, and by3he en- during of an infinite amount of snubbing.
