[Special Correspondence of The Star} Saratogs Laks, August 13th, 1874. Editor Star:—Yesterday I had the pleasnra of meeting the members of your Potomac Boat club, of Georgetown, D. C., and thinking that a few boating notes might be of interest, dl you this. At present there are but three crews hero, viz: Grammercy,of New Yerk; Sobley crew, annah. and Potomac, of Georgetown, D. bey ail, weather permitting, row twice a day—about m. and trom4to5 p.m. The Grammercy row bow locked, blue turbans and bine knee breeches. The Schley crew, bow and stroke, white shirt; waist men, blu? shirt, blae knee breeches, no head covering. The Potomac row in white shirts, red trimming; (they will row in red shirts the day of the race;) blua knee breeches, without head covering. ‘The Grammercy row with hands close to- gether, the others with hands spread about eight inches. The “Potomacs” row rather a slower stroke than the others, but their boet appears to move well. The «‘Schley” crew ap- pear very confident of winning, but they say their chief business here is to settle acores with Palmetto Club of Charleston, The Gram m crew are non-commit:a!, but evidently determined to make the race & hard one, if y themscives do not win. If we may beli “No 3,” of the Potomac crew, their time ai ready made, and to be made, will be unap- Pioachable. The story telegraphed the other Gay about the “Schley” crew beating the ti of Cotambia college ts simply bosh.

The ‘“Atianta,” of Nyack; “Argonaut,” of Bergen Point, » ersev; “ Paime’ Club.” of Charleston, S. C5 “Wah-wah-eum Club.” of Detroit, Mich., are expected bere this week. It is expected that there will be thirteen entries of four-oared crews. When al! arrive the lake will present a very lively ap- pearance during practice hours.

ARREST Or A Dian Swinprer.—A dis- atch from New York announces the arrest of Philp Arnold on a requisition from the gover- nor of California. Arnold was connected with the famous diamond swindle of 1572, by which a company of rogues, who “salted” an Arizona mine with diamonds and made extensive sales of stock on the strength of the rich deposits of the precious stone: THE Famous Cheney-Whitehouse case was cided in Chicago in favor of Mr. Cheney last a‘urday.

[Editorial Correspondence of The Star } GREENVAL® PLANTATION, FRANKLIN County, Mg., August 6, 1574. Arather discursive and hurried recreative trip has taken me over the route indicated in the heading of this letter to the point named in the date, at the head of Rangeley Lake, or the series of lakes going by that title. Life at Saratoga. Saratoga I fouad to be full of visitors, though so many of the watering places are complain- ing of dullness. This does not indicate so mach the superiority of the waters as the superiority of the management. The other summer r kecn and wide-awake business men, who, while looking out for Number 1, co-operate in a large, general way to make the place attractive for visitors. Of course there is more or less real estate speculation, &c., underneath, but the general result is for the advantage of Saratoga and its guests. The One Cheerful 8 pot in America, ‘The first thing that strikes the visitor at Sar- atoga is the buoyant cheerfulness of the place. In this way it remindsone of Paris and one or two other European health or pleasure resorts. There is certainly no other place in America where so animated a spectacle of elastic gayety is presented, or where people seem to be 80 really enjoying themselves as here. For one thing, the brightness and vivacity of Saratoga life is not wasted, or lost to view, by being scat- tered over too much ground, as at the leading seashore resorte, where the great hotels are sep- arated by wide intervals of barren sand or other dreary wastes, and the inmates of the diffsrent carayanseras are almost as much i<olated as if they were passengers on as many different Ocean steamers. At Saratoga the leading hotels are linked cosily together on “Broadway” in a manner to bring the guests of allin compan- ionable aesociation, and the life and gayety of all the bouses {s grouped in one bright and ef- fective pictare. At Night, when these immense many-storied structures are brilliantly lit up from the billiard basement to the crowning mansard, and the strains of music float out from ball-room, piazza and elm- shaded court, while the sprcious halls, parlors, porches, and side-walks are occupied by the gay concourse of twelve thousand visitors who sam- mer at Saratoga, the looker-on is brought to the conclusion that there is one cheerfal spot in America where the male element, particularly, is not asolemn mass-meeting of men iu biack broadcloth playing at relaxation. What the Hotels of Saratoga Have Done for the Piace, The mineral waters of Saratoga of course first directed attention to the place, but its at- tractive hotels have had more to do in the way of keeping it at the head of American pleasure resorts than aught else; and this brings m3 to the peint of deducting a lesson for the ben-fit of Washington. Any one who sees what these superb hotels have done for Saratoga can Sgare out for Limself the advantage that Washington would derive from a hotel system of the same style, such as would make our city a sort of winter Saratog ittracting health and plea- sure-seekers alike during the wiater months. ur much-abused Board of Public Works have made the city an attractive, healthfal, and de- sirable winter resort. Now we need to comple- ment this by two or three Saratoga-style hotels, and I am confident that the capitalists who flad it worth their while to put their money in hotel property at Saratoga, where there is a short season of three months only, would get better returns by building hotels at Washington that would do @ rushing business for a season of from six to business ning months, and a payiag through the summer months. ir. A.T. Stewart? Cannot yon put some of your surplus in into a Waching- ton “ Grand Union Hotel,” and help to make our city the great winter resort of the country? Or Mr. Corcoran, much as he has done for Washington in works of tasts and philantaropy, I doubt if he could accomplish more for the permanent prosperity of the city he loves so weil, in any other way than by the erection of a first-class hotel building. Let him erect such a building and place it in the charge of men who ‘know how to keep a hotel,” men like Messra. Eresiin, Purcell & Co., who ran the Saratoga “Grand Union,” or the Messrs. Roesselle, who have so successfully managed Mr. Corcoran’s “Arlington” with ita limited accommodations, and their own fine hotel at Lake George. I name Mesers. Breslin & Purcell partly becanse of their admirable managemont of the ** Grand Union,” but largely because they have shown a shrewd appreciation of the fact that it is time for botel-keepers to come down from war prices. ‘The American public docs not teei £0 flash as tep years ago, and are looking for just such hotel men. This is particularly tke case where men take their families to places of summer resort. A very small number have incomes to justify stopping for any length of time at one of the big hotels. The result is that they resort to boarding-houses or minor hotels, and the large hotels must depend for support upon the birds of passage who come and go day by day. Messrs. Greslin & Purcell (and not Mr. A. T. ‘Stewart, who is the owner of the building onty,) have undertaken this year te make it worth te while of families to settle at the ‘Grand Union” for the season by putting board at a moderate Sgure. Thus they reduced the heretofore price {$35 per week, to €21 for June and September, and $25 for July and August. The result bas proved the sagacity of the step, and at the close of the present season the immense building is to be nearly doubled in size and extended over @ very large square of ground, making it by far the largest hotel structure in the world. Its added frontage will be some four hundreed feet; its height five stories with mansard roof, and its number of rooms increased from 1,050 to 1,300, with hot and cold water throughout. A Wholesome Competition. It is not probable that the other hotel-owners, who are men of means and enlarged ideas, will remain far in the back-ground, and the result will be such competition and emulation in the way of improvements, enlargements, and bids for patronage in the shape of moderate prices ‘8s will advance Saratoga still further as a pop- ular recort. The Man Who Can Keep a Hotel is the man for the people in this Congressional District. Marvin, of the United States, was sent to Congress with great acclamation until Hatborn (the present member) beat him by building a finer hotel; and now, when Breslin opens his enlarged and greatly grander “Grand Union,” be will be naturally the coming man for the suffrages of the Saratogs District. Incidental. DO THEY SALT THE SPRINGS AT SARATOGA? Some say they do. The rosy and rotund Mr. Jobuson, who superintends the great bottling establishment of Congress Spring, and whose drinks it,) seems inclined to believe that such a thing Aas happened at Saratoga as the salting of a weak spring; though of course Ais robust and never-failing spring is not liable to the im- look as if they were putting the water where it would do the most good when they drink it, but I noticed ruddy Senator Anthony and our own ex-Mayor Berret, the handsomest man at Sara- toga—or anywhere else—drinking their three matufinal tumblers asif they needed it. I don’t suppose that either of them ever had occasion to know of the existence of a liver in their in- ternal combinations. Other Washington faces Isee bere, as Mr. William Stickney, Mrs. Snead of the Louisville Courier-Journal; Miss Austine Snead, of The Capital and New York World, and Mr. George Alfred Townsend, who 1s supplying the picturesque and graphic side of the boating, racing and other ‘‘ events” at Saratoga for the New York Herald, and finds time to interview Tilton, Moulton and the rest exhaustively for the Chicago Triune, to the disgust of the be hind-hand reporters of “ the great metropol- itan journals,” WHAT 18 IMPRUDENT FOR A YOUNG LADY AT SARATOGA. Scene, Hathorn spring, (cathartic.) Time, 6 p. m.—Mater Familias, (tonching the shoulder of her eldest.)—‘‘Surely, Emma, you are not 80 imprudent as to take another glass.

On Sunday the people of the country abont Saratoga come to the village to sce the sights and fortify their livers to stand another week of fat pork and hot biscuit. Sunday afternoon I walked down to what is called High Rock Spring; and, guide book im hand, was admiring the genius of the artist who could, from this 20- inch wart of stone, with its thin stream of water oozing over the rim, evolve the pictare of a colossal mountain of rock, with @ Niagarian flood spouting from its crater, when a com- fortable-looking young granger coupie came up and began to guip away at the brimming tum- blers jerked ont, three at a dip, by the smart, Jockey-capped boy inside the rail. Then the young woman took a seat on the circular bench skirting the pavilion, with some emotion of face disap probatory of the taste of the water, while he advanced and said: ‘Mister, can ycou tellus haow many more springs there are daown this vally? We've drunk tew glasses apiece at eleven springs and are abéout full up.” On reference to the guide-book with its re- markable green-tinted ‘(Map of the Vilinge of Saratoga Springs,” I was able to give the in- formation that they had probably sampled the Geyser Spring, Washington Spring, Crysta! Sprivg, Columbian Spring, Congress Spring, Hamilton Spring, Hathorn Spring, Putnam Spring, Pavilion Spring, Seltzer Spring, and High Kock Spring, and had before them the Empire Spring, Star Spring, Rod Spring, Sara. toga “A” Spring, Union Spring, Brook Spring, Minnehaba Spring, White Sulphur Spring, Ex- celsior Spring, the Ten Springs— “Hold ot said the young man at this point— “that'll dew. Et we kin git aout of Saratogy with sour present forty-four glasses it'll be a genteel sufficiency.” “Joshua!” sald the young woman reproach- fully from ber seat on the bench, “Yéoutoid me there were but four springs in all!” “Wal, yes, Jane, so I did,” admitted Joshua,” but who'd'er thought there wus thirty or forty of the darned things.” “Come, le’s go,” said Jane, getting up from the benc d they started off at aright angle from Spring Valley, up the hill leading to Sar- atoga’s “roadway.” 4 BoY WITH NINE HUNDRED HATS ON HIS MIND. They have @ phenomenal boy to mind ti “Grand Union” dining-roam bat-rack, to that po mistakes occur. In powers of memory and locality he beats * Blind Tom” or “the Lightning Calculator.” In the height of the Saratoga season, with from nine hundred to two thousand hats on his mind, be has never been known to make a mistake. White hats, brown hats, black bate, slouch hats, stove-pipe hats, straw hats, No. 5's, No. 5's, No. 10's; hats with black bands, magenta bands, blue bands, or green bands, it is allthe same; he has never failed to have in his hand the right hat for the right individual at the exact moment of emer- gence from the dining-room. He is not super- cilious or proud about his gift. When compli- mented cpon his powers of memory he does not answer in words, but smiles a melancholy smile, as if the sword were too sharp for the scabbard. Lake George. Saratoga is situated upon too flat a country to haye much of the grand or picturesque element. it bas a lake, but that with its low shores is pleasing but not striking. It has nothing sub- Ime about it but the fried potatoes at Moon’s or the stewed potatoes at Myer But Lake George, with its bold, mountainous shores and picturesque islands and narrows, is near enough to supplement Saratoga’s wants in this respect. The pleasantest route, and the one I took, is by rail to Whitehall, Lake Champlain steamer to Ticonderoga, stage five miles across to the foot of Lake George, and steamer to the head of that lake. By this route one can leave Saratoga at 9a. m., enjoy the best pointe of view of the most picturesque portion of Ohamplain—the moan- tain-margined narrows from Whitehall to T\- conderoga, and also see Lake George at its best, paseing up the length of the lake by daylight and reaching Caldwell), and good quarters at the ‘Fort William Henry Hotel” in season for tea. This trip, full of keen enjoyment, has been very much described by tourists. and I hasten on. THE FADING STAGE DRIVER. One thing we missed; the usual pause at Fort ‘Ticonderoga and maguiloquent descriptive ad- dress by Captain Barker, owner of the stage line, of the capture of that fort by Ethan Allen, “in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress.” The stage owner is not eloquent any more. He sees his occupation gone. The Delaware and Hudson canal com- pany are building a railroad, connecting Lake Champlain with Lake George, and which will supervede this five miles of picturesque staging aswell as the charming steamboat trip from Whiteball to Ticondero; This railroad be- 250 above Champlain. A ruck of travel will be thrown bn a Lake George when this ratl- road is comp! ; and the trout in that consid- erably shed water wil have a yet harder time WHAT A GOOD HOTEL DOES FOR LAKE GRORGB. 4s usual the Fort William Henry Hotel, owned and conducted by the Messrs. Roesselie, of our Arlington, is doing a fine business, and spacious as it is, is to be enlarged to meet grow- ing needs. The guests are largely families. who make it their home for the season. The botel has a name throughout the country, and its reputation bas done much to attract visitors te this lake, which is not so much southern Cham; I note here another ‘As possible in order to drive people into paying for seata in the parlor cars.

The first symptom of the disease appeared four days ago in a numbnes: of the arm, the hand of which had received the bite, followed by acute melancholy, timidity, and soon after by the spasms of x end ineperatory muscl les attendant on an atiemp’ to swallow, the characteristic symptom of rabies, the first epasm occurring Tuesday noon.

From this time until be died he was unable to swallow either food or drink, though hunger and thirst were excessive. ‘The approach of either eolid or fiuid to his mouth produced paroxyems of such violence that the attendants were unable to contro! him, an? he Was rolled in a eheet to keep him on the bed. The patient was at once placed under the inilu- ence of morphine by subcataneous application, which only partially soothed him. Drs. Sull- man and Burlingame were called in counsel, and chloroform was adi red continuously for three hours, with only slight alleviation of the paroxysms although complete anesthesia was Induced. Inthisstateof total unconscious ness the attempt to administer flaids was fol- lowed by the return of the spasms as promptly 88 before administration of chloroform. By no effort could even a single drop be introduced into the stomach. A tenacious macus forming in his throat almost arrested the respiration and was ejected with violence at intervals, prodac- ing the viclent cough which has been desoribed as resembling the bark of a dog. The first spasm occurred Tuesday afternoon, and at- tempts to administer chloroform were unsac- cessful from the violence of the spasms induced by it, until the council of physicians decidsd on using force in its application, and this sac- ceeded. After three hours’ inhaling of the an- wsthetic, half an hour’s interval was given, curing which the yells and shrieks of the pa- tient made the sick room too horrible for endur- axce, and it was decided to keep the boy under the anesthetic until death, which oo- curred 36 hours after the first spasm.

On Sunday, June 28, two young men, Nathan Wright, white, aged 20, and Charles Harria (alias Seymour.) colored, aged 15, went swimming in Sheppard's mill pond, pear own. Wright was drowned, accidentally as it was at first sap- posed, but it has now been discovered that the outh was first tortured, and then, atter he ad me exhausted, was taken beyond bis depth in the fond and lett to drown by the coloret brute Harris. Upon the complaint of Alersn- der Manluff, of Greenwich township, the former employer of the victim, Harris has been arrest ed. Upon bis hearing before Alderman B. F Swing, at Koadstown, sufficient evidence was sdduced from numerous witnesses to prove be- yond a doubt that Wright came to his death from torture and drowning xt the hands of Har- ris. The murderer was refused bail, and sent to the Cumberland county jail to await the sit- ting of court. ——_——_____ Tee Lars Inpian Carer Cocursr, the Apache chief, who recently died and had his virtues and exploits portrayed at length in the newspapers, it seems bas not gone to the happy hunting grounds to be allowed to rest in quiet.

Henry Ward Beecher left New York tor Peekskill Saturday. His wife said he would not probably return before October. A great crowd of Beecher's congregation cailed on him at his house Friday evening, at the close of the ser- vices in the lecture-room of Piymouth charch. Beecher, with his countenance lighted with joy, but with his eyos filled with tears, stood with his wife avd received the guests. He took as many of their hands as he convenientiy could hold, right and left. ies went to Mra, Beecher and kissed her. She was powerfally afiected, — could scarcely return their kind attentions.

Frank Moulton has gone to Portland, Main TILTON DENIZS THE CHARGES OF BLACK MAIL ‘The New York Worldof Saturday reports an interview with Tilton, and says: In regard to the charges of blackmatl made by Mr. Beecher, who instanced sums of money paid to Moulton, as was supposed tor the benefit of Mr. Tilton, the latter said that he has never received a dollar from Mr. Beecher, either directly or indirectly. Nor was he aware that any sums of money were being paid to Moulton. If Mr. Beecher psid any money to support the Golden Age he did pot know it. Bat Mr Beecher might have done so in conjanction with other subscribers who were anxtous to eee the paper proeperons. But he denied that any such moneys were paid,to his knowledge, for Any purpose supposed to be in his interest. F. Moulton’s integrity and honor had been q tioned, and now that Mr. Beecher hal placed’ in euch a position that bis contidentiat friendship as mediator bad been destroved, M Moulton should therefore consider it h's duty to tell all. Tbe public at least was entitled to sone explanation of the blackinall story. TILTON’S VERSION OF THE SERVANT story. Mr. Tilton added that he himself remembered instances in which Mr. Beecher had paid out money. Shortly after Mr. f lton’s retarn from the west in December, 1-70, the Tiltons took into their house a young girl who figures prom- inently in Mr. Beecher’s statement. Tais girl, he said, was employed as servant in the family, and overheard, be supposed, conversations held between himself and Mre. Tilton at various times on the confession that had been made to him by Mrs. Tilton. This girl, it seemed, bed spoken to a number of persons outside about it, and showed great aptitude in spreading the story, not liciousiy or wilfully perhaps, bat thoughtlesely, ana becaase of an utter inability to maintain lence on the matter. The story then began to gain currency in Brooklyn, and it was determined to send the girl to school out west, which was done, Mr. Beecher paying her bills through Mr. Moulton. This was done tv order to prevent her from talking further about the matter in Brooklyn. Mr. Tilton, however, did not think that Mr. Beecher paid in all on account of the girl more than $1,000, perhaps noteo much. Infact, he couldn't say how mach. This was the only instance in which he kn he said, of Mr. Beecher's paying away money in connection with the eubjcctematter of the scandal. A BEECHER VERSION OF THE SAME. It is stated in the Brooklyn Eagle that this servant girl business will wear another com- plexion when the of the story te sy iblic.
