Silence reigaed for the space of aminute after this autburst, aod then there wasa general ac- nowledgment that the weatber had been ter- 1ific, even fu Newport, but that there were places, if one went to work rizhtly, where cool breezescould be found. Of these notably are Bateman's Point and Castle Hitl, and certain ‘bouses on the Ulifls, or certain localitics. - All the selles land, where it would be so delightful, Jzs been unendurable.

Last Saturday he, with Pierre Lorrillard and Carroll Bryce, played five games of polo with great sxill. ~ The public generally who hear ot and see Mr. Rogers AT THE POLO GROUNDS, or driving his four-in-band, or engaged in any other of the athletic amuscments of the fash- jonsble world bere, judge him as I heard him judeed the otber day ut o mild dinner-party. His name being incidentally mentioned in cou- ection with the polo gawie1n question, some one set forth on a very natural tirade againat the squandering of great means inidle pleas- ures, the typical fast wan, wmixed up with a #ood deal of philosophy und the needle’s-cye- and-thecamel Lostrition.

To this Club also belong some of the most schie arly aud literary men in the country,~Profess- ors, many o1 them, of some science. Men of this descriptien, who follow science as 2 profes- sion, are not usually rich in this world’s goods. These gentlemen are not an exception to this Tule, consegueutly Mr. Rogers is THE GOOD GENIUS OF THE CLUB. If costiv booits are nceded, or anything clse 10 further the interests of the Club, it is Mr. Fafrman Rogers who procures them.

N. P, EUROPEAN GOSSIP. ROYAL BURIAL-PLACE OF SPAIN. - ZLondon Tetegranh. It is the most solendid yet the ghastliest place of regal interment in the whole world. The Indian Emperor built in the Taj Mabal a {airy patace as a tomb for his dead bride. The Sultans ot Turkey sleepin duinty kiosques, all adoroed with artificial flowers and pendent os- trich-cegs, and their jeweled tarbouches sur- ounting the rich Persian shawls which swathe the fretted marble of their cenotaphs. In sar- cophagi embellished with curiously qaaint By- zantine maguificence, the Czars of Russis, from Peter Velke downward, are interred in the Church of the Fortress of St. Meterand St. Paul. The Rayal tomnbs in Westminster Abbey and in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, are so many vages, arand and solemy, but not uppalling, m the bistory of England. We forget death al- most amid the statuary gnd the mosaic, the bronzes and the gilding of St. Peter’s. But the Pantheon strikesa chill even to the mar- row in the bonmes. Its very sorgeousness makes {t all the znastlier. The Royal vault is placed directly under the high altar, so toat the priest who celebrates mass for the souls ot the dead may stand directly over their remains. Philip 11, the morose. bient who founded the Escurial, contemplated only a plain vault of brick-work for the recention of his owa corse and that of his father, tbe grear Emperor and King, who *“ when the lust of sway bad lost its quickening spel t crowns for rosaries uway,’ and retired to die, a discontented anchorite, at the Monastery-of Yuste. The idiotic Philip 1L, bowever, insisted on builaing a charnel-house all tinsel and variewated marble. ‘The eyrpt is reached by a staircase, the walls of which are lined with green and yellow jasoer; and the in- terior of the vault itself is overladen with florid scroll-work and tawdry angels in giit bronze. A garish chsudelier hangs from the roof, and 1n twen niches around the sides of the oc- tagon are sarcophagi of sham classic design, some empty, some icnanted by the dust of “Kings and the mothers of Kings.’ Thus continue to decay the bones of Carlos Quinto.

The Paris anglers are certainly the most per- severing of their tribe. Gentle Izaak hiwmself would scarcely have been Wwilling to sit all day ius the suu, with a prospect of hovking, by good luck, a half-dozen of the smallest fry that were ever caught with the rod.

Zondon World. A nobleman of Iugh station and eptendid op- portunities had ingugurated his mairied hife with the systematic pursuit of a round of foliies and dissipations, of which most young men hbave kuown somethine, but of which most young men also soon tire, when the first cousciousness of emancipated manhood kas passed sway. Lord Avlesford, it is true, married young. But mar- riage was not the slightest check unon his bnf'l.\- clor tastes. - He maintained his intimacy with the same sceues and the same friends. A peer cerned in such doings. It was scandalous, dis- reputable, stupid. For such a husband no wife could have cherished aflection or respect. Lord Aylesford’s eutire existence was one continued provocation of conjueal _infidelity, and, .of ‘ourse, the conjugal infidelity came at last. So the Earl returncd fromIndia, and fostituted proceedings for putting away bis wie. Having rezard to the sequel, it is diflicult to kmow whether most to condemn the baseness, or to be astounded at the shortsizhtedness, of such a step. Under any circumstances, it might have been supposed that a man in Lord Aylesford’s station would have hesitated to publish to the world his sorrow and bis shame. Even had he been the ontraged husband, he would not have taken the step that was to tear two lives tsun- der without some deliberation. But as a matter of fact Lord Aylesford must have known from the first that if there was’ ooo role which he could not legitimately, and could not hope suc- cess{ully, to adopt, it was that of the outrazed hushend. His irrezulorities and his low in- trignes were the tallk of the Jowest of the town. No doubt the position which confronted him was painful_and terrible enough. Butit was ome of thos¢ crises that test the patience and the strength of manhood. Recognizing the abso- lute hopelessness of procceding seainst his wife, Lord Aylesford should have silently sub- mitted to bis fate, and trusted to the remedial influences of time. There were other reasons which should bave determined him to abide by such a decision. He was not frnorant of the pature of ope at least of the answers with which his indictment of Lady Aylesford would be met. The history of bis escapades at the Al- hzmbra, his assiznations and suppers at Cre- worne, compromised no reputations save those of Lord Aylesford himsclf and the venal beau- ties who exist on their lack of any reputation at all. Surely Lord Aylesford was well aware that any charges which be might prefer agaiust bis wile would be at once net with an_attack, not s0 much on himself—that is 2 mutter of verv minor importance—as on a lady for whose fair fame he might stili have been expeeted not 1o De utterly indifferent. In a word, Lord Ayles- ford had sinned openly with the most uublush- ing and cynical deflance of propricty, moral or conventional. And, having done so, it scemed scarcely too much to expees thst be would re- fuse to fimplicate others in his owu disarace, Honor had gone. There still remaived the op- portunity of partially redeeming viee,—not so much by herolstm as by patient submission to the consequences of vice. It was this oppor- tunity Lord Aylesford declined. BEAR-HUNTING IN RUSSIA. The following singular means of capturiog or ekilling the bear s suid to be frequently prac- ticed by Hussian peasants who cannot casily procure firearms. As is well known, the bear has a fondness for hopey, and will track his way a zreat distance to where the wild bees bave filled some hollow tree. Their sting can- not hurt him, and they and their stores are en- tirely at his merey. 1o a forest kuown to con- tain bears, the hunters examine all the hollow trees till they discover a wild bee-hive. A branch of the tree is then chosen, Girectly above the hole; if there is uo such astout peg is driven into the trunk.

YOUNG AMERICA AT THE MABILLE. Paris Correspundence Dokon Gazeite. One of the visitors to Mabifle the other night was a dapper specimen of Youug America, who looked as though he might aspire at no distant day to be a ireshman of Harvard, He was a downy-vhecked youug man With just thie faint- est promise of @ muustache oa bis upper lip.

SMOKING DIPLOMATS. on Tunes. Neither M. Thiers nor M. Guizot ever smoked. In England the late Lord Clarendon was the first Minister who was a great habitual simoker, bat his examnple bas not been followed by Lord Beaconsfield or Mr. Gladstone. Prince Bis- marck, on the other hand, transacts most of bis official business Witn a cigar in his mouth; and iu the inemoirs of Iferr Maurice Busen, bis late secretars, may be found a characteristic anec- dote of how this Prussian statesman claimed apd_ cnforced his priviiege of smoking at the sittings of the Military Commission of the Dict at Frankfort. The story is zwven in_the Chun- celior’s weords: While Rochow repressnted Prussia at the Diet, Count Rechbers, the Presi: dent, who represenied Austria, was the ouly member who smoked ac the Board. Rochow, wha was a great smoker, often lonzed to light a cigar, but did wet dere. Wiien I arrived, howcver, L asked myselt why Prussia should not do as Austria did? o, at the first sittine, I drew out a cizar acd asked Recibere for a light, which Le gave me, stupefied st 1ay covlness. | The other delegates were not less ‘umazed, and wrote to their respective Govern- meuts for instructions; but the subject wasa serious one, requiig refivction, 5o six monLh elapsed without their obtaining an answer.

The Duke of Connaught is the third son of Queen Victoris, and was born_at Buckingham Palace on the 1st of May, 1830.

HYDE PARK. EXPENSES OF PAST YEARS. To the Eattor of The Tribune. CricAGo, July 27.—The manner in which the affairs of the Village of Hyde Park have been administered for years has been the most ex- travagant and worthless of anything in modern times, and yet whenever any citizen or taxpayer attempts to remonstrate he is wet by public insult und abuse. As for myself, I do not ar- raign the bresent Board of Trustees of Hyde Park, who have been in poweronly s few weeks, but lask them to investigate the abusesto which the taxpavers have becn subjected, and toright the wrongs committed in the past. There never Wwas a greater outrage perpetrated apon any people outside of Turkey than when the Board of Trustees ran that town iuto a debt of 3600,000 for water-works, and nothing cver cxceeded the arbitrary acts of the South Park Commissioners when theylevied $1,509,000 upon that town by way of special assessments tor park purposes. The school system at present fn yogue at that town is administered without a single check, aud there is no account- ability anywhere. There are several school districts in that town, oue or two of which are ay indebted from $40.000 to . $60.600, but what” oflicer in “Hyde Park knows any- thing abous it, or the boundaries of the districts, or the number of children of school age therein, or the amounnts of the tax-levies, or whether the school-money is safe? With the example of Waldron before us, haven't the people a right to inquire into the tax-levies and know what becomes of the money! The prop- erty of the people is being confiseated, and vet taxution goes ou. Who has any property in Hyde Park that Urings in auy iocome? I think the time has arrived when the mouney should be counted. Following is an exhibit of the cxpeuses and amounts of tax is levied by the authoritics of Hyde Park, com- menciug with 1573, The amounts expended for schuol parposes should buve made cvery child io the town a living and walking Solomon. ‘I'hose expendea for police should bave placed a liceman at every door. Those expended for uilding aud repalriug roads should have made them equal to the boulevards of Paris. AUG. 15, 1872, To AvG. 1873, Asscesment expenses - Legal expenses.......

Now to ali thesc expenses add the expeases of the Town Orgavization of Hyde Perk, and the amouunts which bave been levied upou the property in Hyde Park by the South Park Com- ‘missioners, including the $1,500,000 assessment, the $1,616,000 of the bonds of the Park Commis- sioners, the $200,000 yearly tax by the South Park Commissioners, and the $593,000 bonded indebtedness of the Villaze of Hyde Park, andthe sum of $22,000 per vear for collecting the interest on the bouded in- debtedness, and some fdea can be obtained of the enormity of the management of affairs in Hyde Park, and the destruction of property which has taken place in that tax-ridden suburb. ‘The amounts forspecial assessments, amount- ing to something near a millivn doilars, more or less, for the iast few years have not beeu in- cluded. Neither has the defalcation of Waldron, the Village Treasurer, wiich amounts to $114,000 or thercabouts. In times like these when property yields no income and business of every iind is prostrate, it wonld seem as if com- mon decency would lcad the authorities of Hyde Park to curail every expense possible, and give the taxpayers a breathing spell and an opportuuity to recaperate. ELLIOTT ANTHONY. LEVYING SCHOOL TAXES. 7o the Editor of The Tridune. BYDE PARE, July 27.—I notice a synopsis of the argument of Mr. Elliott Anthony before the County Court, in which the position is taken that the process of levying school taxes 1 the Village of Hyde Park s ilegal,—in that in some districts Boards of Directors act, while in others—for instance the First District—a Board of Education exists. An examination of the statate will show the fallacy of the position. Chapter 122, entitled +“Schools,” of the Revised Statutes of 1877, treats of the whole subject. The same law provides for both Boards of School Directors and Boards of Education. Sec. 42 (R. S. 187, p. 804) provides for the election of School Directo1s in school districts where the inhab- itants do not exceed 2,600, and Sec. 44, p. 396, provides how they shall certify the tax. Sec. 80, p. 013, provides for the election of Boards of Edflmtiun in school districts where the in- bLabitants number not. less than 2,000, and that the members of such Board “‘be elected in the manner provided by Sec. 42 of this act for the clection of School Directors™; avd that the in- corporated vitlage **shall be and remain pert of the school towbships in which they ure re- spectively situaced, aud shail be subject o the Seneral provisions of the School Jaw, except as otberwise provided by this act.” There is no power vested fn a Board of Trus- tees of e villaze organized under the General law entitled **Citles ana villages,” uuder which the Village of Hyde Park is organ- ized, either to control” and regulate the scnools or ta levy a tax for their support. The Board of Trustees of the villaze can no more regulate or control the schoof or school officers of any school district than they can regulate and control the Government of France. The Schoul lsws have given the goverument io Boards of School Directars and Boards of Edu- cation, and provided that they may both be or- ganized in the same Conaressional township where a village incorporation exists. _Sec. 42 of the School Iaws also require School Boards and Boards of Directors at eacl: annual clection o make “a detailea report of their receipts and expenditures to the voters then present, a_copy of which shall be transiitted to the Town- ship Treasurer,” etc. These Boards and their clerks are also required to report other statis- tics, which ure aiso made matters of record, to the Township Treasurer. Such a rcport was probably made and published {n each scagol Qistrict last April. ‘Tais report for District No. 1—as to which the Zimes has so much to say shoiws the entire expense of the district, exclud- ing permanent improvements, to have been, for the year, S15,840, and the uumber of pupls at- tevdiog the schools 634, The average cost per scbolur, therefore, was $29.71, fostead of $60, as the Zimes hasit. It is aiurtuer fact thut this dustrict §s entirely out of debt. There is not s singic bond out agafust it. The ruce of tasa- tion certitied for suveral years has been icss thau that of any other district. It was 71 cents on the $100 Inst year, and is less this. The amount certified the present year is 35,000 less than last. This Is partly in consequence of the Targe delinquency in payment of taxes levied in former yez! 5 The public records justify the facts and_fig- ures iven in this communication. p4 BOARD MEETING. The Villaze Trustees wmet yesterday, all pres- ent excepting Irus Coy. An ordinance was reported and engrossed al- lowing property-uwoers to lay mas-pipes on their property and oblizing the Gas Compauny to connect with the same. The Engineer reported thzt Contractor Beaty had been paid $11,469 on his Forty-first- street sewer contract, and that $2,024 was due him. J. 0. Tuily and Thomas Tuily, bis bonds- men, had offered to_complete the sewer under his contract, or to extend the sewer 500 fect for 57 per foot. The Engineer was ordered to con- Sult with Beaty and report to the Board. Mr. Wooley, for the Gas Company, offered to light, clean, and keep in repair 150" lamps _for the fiscal year by months—August, 3253; Sep- tember, $259; October, $316,—2ud lamps 'to be Jit on Chicago schedules. “The Viuaite Collector was asked to glve o bond of $25,000 and submi it to the Doard. “Trastee Potter reported a resolution requir- ing the Captain of Police to report on all cases of burglary sad all crimes committed in the village, aud to keep the same on nis books. ‘The Board then adjourned. ‘Three boys, aged 8, 9, and 11, were arrested Friday night by Sergt. Snyder for house- breaking and stealing a revolver and toy bank containing_a few doliars. One boy turned State’s evidence, and suid the others stole tne stull, but, being brought up before Justice Gan- sel, they were discharged. ————— Morn State Sovoreigoty In Soutl Carollna. WasmixGTos, July 25.—The Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. received to-nizht, has the following to say in regard to the revenue cases in South Car- olina: * We have no idea that South Carolina authorities will tamely back down from their decision in tuis case. They will take steos to test the question beforz the proper tribusal. Exactly the same question is now hefore the Supreme Court of the Urited States in the casc of the State vs. Hoskins, which was carried up onawrit of error from the Supreme Court of North Carolina. A decision of this case will de- ‘cide ull others in which the same principle is 1nvolved; but until the highest judicial tribu- nal keown to our laws decides that the State Courts have no jurisdiction over offenses of revenue officers, it 3 neither wise nor patnotic for the States to yield. They must maintain their soverelmnty aud richts as States, remem- bering that to yield in this is a fonz step toward the abandonment of the principal of local sell- goveroment.*” il AT A Gifted Expert. Washington Correspordence Troy Times. One af the most skillful experts in America isJ. F. Tandy, coin-examiner at the Treasury, towhom I am indebted for much valuable - formation.

Hoffman Declares that It Can Be Cured, and Tells Physicians How to Ad- minister the Antidote. To the Editor of Ths Tridune. CmcAGO, July 27.—Dr. D'Unger's # Warning to Physicians® in a late issuc of Tz TRIBUNE, relative to prescriblug opium and morphine, is very timely. and should be heeded by all the medical zentlemen. But what is to be done with those more than unfortunate who already are enslaved to this most pernicions babit? Are they to be permitted to remain in their terrible condition, the misery and suffering of which no words nor language can depict? To those for- tunately ignorant of this fearful thraldom let’ me guote & puassage from DeQuincey’s “ Confes- sions,” viz.: God seems to answer the prayers of every one excopt the oplutn-eater, and to hit HTis cat it ntop: ped, sad His face turned away! The life of one addicted to opinm, how utterly miserable; no nope, 1o ray of light can be admitted into his soul. Gou only kuows his troubles, the hesrt-burnings, the regrets. 1low often does he excluim: *~Oh, it mighe bave been, it might hove been,” 1s he walks the burning ‘sands of the desert ‘with no pleasant shade, 0o sheiter, no cooling water for nia parched tougue, uo rest for his weary feck, na- til the night of death comes, and then he launches outon the dark river witnouta pilot, without o star to guide him, without a hope of Heaven or a Savior's pardonin love. und then on the day of finzl nccount to hear the Judge of the Universe atter the words of condemnation, ** Depart from me all ye of unclean hands, I know ye not!” And is there no help? Well, lct us see. Physicians and medical books claim that no cure exists, and, in its abseuce, merely advise the despairing habitoe to * get along with as little as possible”! At Blughamton, where they undertzke a problematic cure of many months’ duration. they contine the patient, guard him by _trustworthy attendants,” cut off his accustomed opium or morphine at once, and. fet_nfw, whom this very halit has rendered unfit to endure the slightest pain, sufler the very pangs of Hell itselt! So severe is this mental and physical torture that the patients ar. often driven to suicide or insanity. From two to three months of above suffering lands the paticnt weak and debilitated on an addi- tional cure of several mouths more wretched- ness, and he is still to be guarded lest he places bimseli in possession of opium to alleviate his sufferines! At a late session of the ** Socicty for the Cure of Iuebrintes” at Chicago, 3 physician trom St. Louis, who advocated this ‘*‘heroic treatment’ ‘of quitting ~ all stimulants and theu *‘grin aud bear it,” admit- ted the recent death of two patients thus treat- ed. No wonder, thew, that physicians are deny- ing the existence of a cure, rather than applyine a remedy worse than the evil itself, thougir in this case so fearful. ‘The opium-eater is, then, to_be left belpless and suffering in his most agonizing condition, to waste in body 2ad miad, flually to bray for and even seek death as his ouly Redeemer! But lately several suicides of optum-caters occurred, and it i3 this sad fact that actuates me to pen these lines, so that Hope may reach tnese un- fortupates, aud brighten their lives with the Knowledge that their fetters can be broken, and they restored to themselves and society with- out undergoing the terrible ordeal ol above- ‘mentioned ** tapering-off cure.” It would carry me too far along your columns were I 1o enger tue minute detais of a cure now koowa to a number of regular paractitioners. Suflice it to state, that the modus overandiof eure s simply to alleviate the physical and psychical anguish entailed by cutting off the opinm by stimuiants aud tonics, the sheet-anchor of treatment being the bromides. The acenstomed drug is discontinu- ed, in lieu of which the patient is saved from all sufferiug by being thoroughly *bromided.” Strychnia is” an cxcelient adjunct at termina- tion of cure, as Well us phosphorus, to counter- balance nerve-tissue waste. As a matter of course, the patient must rémain during the en- tire treatment under the supervision of 8 good physician, who will modify the cure in each separate case ucording to symptoms, ete. I personally know of six cases, and haveproof of several more, perfectly cared in trom one to three weeks. One of these. a lady from Toiva, addicted to from fifty to eighty grains of wor- paine for twenty-four years, underwent treat- ment, aiterineffectuaily trying the old-fashiored and cruel *tapering-off curt” for twoand a balf years, and was entirely relicved of her babit in sixteen days. I et ner months after her deliverance and assured myself of her last- ing and perfect cure. Another, a gentleman, who bad used from five to twensy grains of mor- pbine hypodermically tor over scven years, was completely cured in” nine days. 1t must here be remarked that by cured I mean able w0 get ulong without any stimulant or narcotic,—iree frour habit os well as antidote. The treatment simply consists in substituting bromide of sodium for the opium or morphine for about a week or so, aud then bringing body and mind ‘“‘on par” by the judiclous use of stimulants aud tonmics. Any pbysician of thorourh medical and scientific attainments can suceeed in following vut these hints, and I exhort all to attempt their very best to free opium-caters from their most abject mental and physical slavery, rather than leaving them at thie merey of quacks and swindlers, who send them, for many times the orifmal price, but their accustomed poison disgwised, and keep these miscrables not only i their hupit, bus also actually add to their sufferings by increas- jug the amount originally taken! IC we physi- ciaus, as_the ones who gt them info the Dabit, refuse even the allempl at assisting them out, what wonder, then, that 5o many opium quacks prosper, and daily more misery and less hope of deliverance is given the unbappy opium-eater ! They can be cured, and that in irom one to three weeks, with but very little suffering, and with the cerlainty of @ completc success. Physicians! Think ot the opiutn-eater restored to his family and dutics, to health and man- hood, to happiness and life itself, and then con- sider yourself rewsrded a thousandfold for any and all trouble and 2nuwoyance the treatment will have_caused you; and proclaim it to all those suffering in this “Hell on earth with Demon Morphinm s jatler,” that escape i3 “possible, and czsy at that! dJ.
