FINAL DISPOSITION OF THE CASE OF MISS LEWIS— THE SUB-BOARD OF THE COLORED SCHOOLS SUS- TAINED—A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE HOLMEAD CEMETERY PROPERTY. The board of public school trustees met last evening; Mr. Lovejoy occupying the chair in the absence of the president, Mr. Matthews. A com- munieation was read from the District Commis- sioners, calling the attention of the board to the fact that the lease of the property on H street. between 3d and 4th northeast, occupied for school purposes, would expire December Ist, 1882, and stating that unless the property was needed for school purposes the Commission- ers would then abandon the lease.

He called attention to the fact, also, that there was no school fund, and he suggested that the proceeds of this | property could be used as a nucleus of a school fund.

On the 10th of the month the earth makes her annual plunge into the August meteor zone, | and countless millions of tiny meteors will ex- in the concussion against our atmosphere and fall to the earth, leaving their tracks of golden light traced in luminous vaper on the ial course. The fall of a meteor is as easily explained as any other simple phenome- non of nature. The earth plunges into a mass of meteors with a vi cel equal to her own | and increases this velocity by her attraction to 30 miles a second. The meteors enter our at- mosphere at this tremendous pace, are soon arrested by its friction and become so panied by light. | They are then visible, and, becoming vaporized, | fall through the atmosphere as shooting stars. | The August meteor zone is an immense ellipse or hook extending out beyond the orbit of Ne | tune. The meteors composing it follow in the | train, and are probably the debris of a-comet that long ago traveled in this path and is now | broken up. ‘This change occurred so many years | since that the meteors are now distributed, | though in unequal numbers, along the entire | orbit! We are, therefore, sure of a meteoric shower every year, although there is an uncer- tainty whether it will be more or less brilliant. It takes the earth some time to make her way through the meteoric mass, and meteors may be expected on the nights of the 9th, 10th and 11th. The point from which they seem to radiate is the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast not far from 9 o'clock. The full moon of the 9th will greatly interfere with the mete: oric display, but some of the brightest of the | “lery tears” will be perceptible to careful ob- servers. —_.

THE EVOLUTION OF OCEAN GROVE—ITS ATTRAC- TIONS AND PECULIARITIES—IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Special Correspondence of Tux EVENING STAR. Ocean Grove, N.J., Aug. 8, 1881. This place, which now contains a summer pop- ulation of about 20,000, was, twelve years ago, a barren sand beach. It was originally chosen for a Methodist camp ground, and the “camp meet- ing” idea isstill retained although more and more the locality has gradually assumed the aspect of apopular watering place. The grounds were laid out and divided into small lots of 30x60 feet, with the expectation that the lots would be oc- cupied by tents or small, cheap cottages, suita- ble for family use during the meetings, and per- haps for a season before and after. But it is to be feared that the growth has been away from the meetings rather thantoward them. Great crowds come here to be fanned by the cool breath of the ocean. and to feel the invigorating touch of its splendid surt. But the religions aspect of the place still gives it a peculiar character, which enters largely into its marvellous success, There is a continuous meeting for ten days in August, called a camp meeting, and at other times there are conyen- tions, anniversary seasons, and special gather- | ings of one kind or other, so that every day has | its religious or intellectual attractions, while on | Sunday the gates are closed; there is no horse or carriage to be seen on the ‘streets. No milk is sold, no newspapers: are circulated, no oar is seen on its lakes and: no bathing permitted in its waters. Hence the only resource for the Sabbath is the series of religious meetings at the camp ground. These are always of rare interest, and the congregations embrace six or eight thousand persons, . _ Yesterday Dr. Buckley, the editor of the New York Christian Adrovate, preached to such an audience as very few people have ever seen to- | gether, and held them spell-bound to the close. In the evening, when the grounds, the ocean front and the two lakes are lighted with ten | thousand lamps, the scene is more like fairy land than any thing else. On Saturday immense trainscome in from New | York and Philadelphia, and on Monday morning they ge out laden with those who must return to their business. We are also often visited by large pie-nic parties, and a pavilion has been built es- pecially for the accommodation of those who bring lunches on such oceasions. Among the recreations are surf-bathing, rowing, sailing, crabbing, yachting on the ocean, and riding to | Long Branch, Ocean Beach, and other places within easy distance. This portion of the Jersey coast hasundergone @ marvelous change in the last decade, and promises to be wholly occupied at no distant day by summer residents of the adjacent cities. Long Branch, Deal Beach, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Ocean Beach, Spring Lake, and Sea-girt are all summer towns swarming with life and aimost within speaking distance of each j other. Great hotels and beautiful cottages are the chief features of the whole coast, and there Seems to be no end to the capital and enterprise which go into these latter day Improvements. et Set What Dr. Hamilton Says. WHY IT was ARY TO MAKE ANOTHER IN- CISION, AND THE EFFECT IT WILL PROBABLY HAY The New York Sun of yesterday says:—Dr. Frank H. Hamiiton returned from Washington at 10 o'clock last night. He said, as he dropped into his easy chair and stroked the great cat which had_sprung into his lap to welcome her master: “Well, sir, T suppose you want to know the necessity of to-day’s operation? _ It was this: For two or three days we had obseryed that there was a rise of temperature in the | afternoon, ,and while we thought it was probably due to the increased heat of the weather. we didn’t feel assured that this was the fact. We had known for several days that the cavity behind the broken rib was rather increasing in size. This we ascertained by first emptying the sac of pus, then filling it with a disinfecting fluid until it overflowed, and then emptying the sac and measuring the quan- ‘ity with a graduated glass. Each day we found that the cayi would hold a little more of the fluid. We found also that when the drainage tube was in, and the fluid was conveyed through it into the track of the wound, it would not scape along the outer walls of the tube, show- £ that the tube filled the canal completely and ed somewhat as an obstruction. It wasalso noticed that a long. flexible catheter, constructed by Mr. Stollman, with a permanent curve at its lower end, which we had been abie to passdown along the back of the wound six or seven Inches, was no longeradmitted. It became ap- parent, therefore, ise of temperature | on the preceding daywwas due only to the in- creased heat of the weather, nevertheless the | time was approaching when there would be se- rious obstruction totheoutflow of the pus, unless | conclusion was that if the President was in a yorable condition the following morning an opening should be made below the twelfth rib, where it would be less likely hereafter to be- come obstructed. Finding this morning that he had _p: “da very comfortable night, and that jhe y in good condition to endure such an | operation, it was made, the President first “ What was the result?” “The operation has no doubt inflicted some | temporary -injui 4 | quite probable that | febrile movements will be a little increased.

I think it is But- | ler in his ‘Hudibras’ who says ‘Shall a man be | dissected to see what part is disaffected? Now, if any one has an idea that we can reach | that ball through the track through which it entered I can only reply that we have neyer been able to follow the whole length of the track with any instrument, however flexible. The supposed situation of the ball is fully twelve or fifteen inches from the point of entrance, and although a great many ingenious in? struments have been devised for following tracks through which balls have passed, ever experienced surgeon would know that to fol- low such a track, with irregular narrowings and widenings in its course, and successfully remove the ball in this direction, is totally impracticable. I have received half a dozen lettersfrom gentle- men in various parts of the United States sug- gesting that it be removed by suction with an air pump, ory forgetting that the track of the ball probably is much smallerthan the ball itself, and that the atmespheric pressure or supposed suction would act quite as much upon the sides of the yielding canal as upon its extremity. “In my opinion the ball is lying very quietly | in its present position, and the grave portion of | the symptoms with which we've had to deal were eae to the fects one rib.” A “* How do you ex] letermine th i- tion of the ball isi sents “In the progress of time flammation subsides, and we are generally able to detect in one way or another the exact situa- tion of bullets which have been lost.

The | LIFE AMONG THE CLOUDS. THE SEASON AT ROAN MOUNTAIX—WHAT IS TO BE SEEN -AND DONE THERE — WASHINGTON VISITORS, ETC., ETC. ‘Special Correspondence of Tur EVEXING STAR. Roan Mocntars, N.C., Aug. 5, 1881. We have found at last a place where it is never warm. The papers tell us of the thermo- meter at 102 degrees in Washington; but here we think it warm when it reaches 70 degrees, and 7% degrees is the highest that the thermo- | meter has yet marked. Roan mountain, on the western border of North Carolina, is the most northern of the high mountains for which this region is noted. Our hotel, the “Cloudland,” is about a hundred and twenty feet below the top of the mountain; we therefore live just a few feet lower than the top of Mount Washington, which is [greta looked upon as the ne plus uitra of the Appalachian system. It would hardly be proper to speak of Cloud- land asa fashionable resort; in fact, we glory here in ourindependence. The ladies wear short walking dresses of cambric, gingham or flannel, and the gentlemen luxuriate in hunting cos- tumes. The hotel, with an adjoining cottage, accommodates about forty guests. and is nearly always well filled with visitors gathered from ail parts of the country, from Louisiana to Con- necticut. The air is delightful. At this height—6,391 feet—we are above all impurities of the atmosphere. The view is con- Carolina, and the most extensive of all. Seven states are said to be within the range of the naked eye, which covers a radius of 150 miles. We can see the storms below us and around us; and the clouds are sometimes piled above, some- times drifting by our very faces, sometimes over the valleys below us. The mountain is like | smooth park; its top embraces a thousand | acres, covered partly by a rich grass, studded in the spring time by countless forget-me-nots, and partly by rhododendron and alder bushes. The former bloom in June with the greatest profu- sion, the huge bunches of deep pink flowers covering the mountain then with a wealth of color never to be forgotten. The Roan is a good center fora variety of ex- cursions to surrounding points, all of great in- terest, and all, until within a few years, almost entirely unknown to the outer’ world. The mica mines near Bakersville, the largest in the country, thirteen miles from Roan Mountain, are well worthy of visit. This valuable mineral is carried in wagons over thirty miles to the railroad foy shipment. The Black Mountains, where Mitchell, the highest point of land east of the Rockies, lifts its head to the height of 6,707 feet, are but thirty-two miles away; the Grand- father Mountain, noted as the source of rivers flowing to all four points of the compass, is dis- tant twenty-seven miles; and, grandest’ of all, the Linville Falls, Canon and Towers, all dis- pls their wonders together, twenty-five miles from the Roan. The journey from Washington to this moun- ‘tain occupies two days: the first, by rail. to | Johnson City, East Tenn., and the second by stage, thirty-two miles, to the hotel ontop. A number of Washingtonians have visited the Roan this season. Prof. John B. Hotchkiss, of Kendall Green, is spending his third summer here. Mrs. Major J. W. Powell and daughter, Mrs. Charles King and daughter, Messrs. Arthur D. Bryant (the artist), Frank M. Boteler, Perry K. Solger, G. W. Gray and Wm. B. King. all of Washington, are now here. Profs. Weatherby and Eddy, of the University of Cincinnati, with @ party of young geologists, have spent some time inexamining the geology and mineralogy of the monntain and surrounding country, and have found it of the greatest interest. Pil- grims from all sections are visiting this ‘Land of the Sky,” which, within a few years, when its glories become known, is destined to be ene of the greatest summer health resorts of the United States. PaRaTts. —————-e-—___ SUICIDE OF AN EX-SIGNAL SERVICE MAN.— Chas. C. Kitchen, the young man formerly: con- nected with the signal service at Cincinnati,who committed suicide at®Eden Park, in that city, on Sunday night, was a Philadelphian of good family. He had been on a prolonged spree ever since his dismissal from the signal service. A letter from his mother, which, though written at Cape May, was mailed in Baltimore, arrived after his suicide, and the advice it contained failed to reach him. In it she assures him of her love, and gently chides him for not letting her know his whereabouts, and says: “‘We have all failed in what we most endeavored to do. That is no reason we should not succeed in our wishes the next trial. Try again, and you will accomplish. That which you make up your mind shall be overcome. I will not write more, for fear this may fall into other hands than yours. Mr. and Mrs. Drew, as well as Aunt Kate and Mr. Hoffn send their love to you. Mr. and Mrs. Drew are at Atlantic City, Aunt Kate at Ocean Grove. Of course, we have said nothing to them about your affairs—that is, be- tween Miss M. and ourselves. She says if she can do anything for you or me we have only to let her know.” The letter is signed “Your loy- ing mother,” and is dated at the Tremont House, Cape May. Out of Door Sports.

A Baltimore Sun special says that Brooks, the secretary of the central committee, addressed a communication last night to Chairman Cochran proposing a conference to-day between the TS tween them. _ This proposition is regarded as an evidence of weakness on the part of the re- adjusters. The principal differences referred to are the a ment of the roll and the condi- tions of the admission of members and the public | to the convention hall. Coehran, it was thought last night, would not consent to the proposed conference. THE FINANCIAT. PLANK. The following is said to be the financial plank in the platform of the convention as proposed by the straight-outs: “Resolved, That we hold the preservation of the public credit of our state as the paramount duty of the authorities of the state; that we regard the fidelity with which the republican party of the nation has preserved its financial honor as being, next to its gitt of universal frec- dom, the brightest page in its history; that we | believe the country owes its present financial | and commercial prosperity in a great degree to | this wise and just policy, and so believing we | hereby pledge ourselves to the maintenance in- violate of the sacred obligations of the common- wealth to her creditors.” The readjusters will of course repudiate this plank, and the straight-outs will refuse to accept any substitute that squints at repudiation. Thus impendi ———____s@~____ An English Journal on Garfield. The Liverpool Post of the 26th ult. says: How deeply the world was moved by the attempted assassination o President Garfield is amply shown by the fact that it only needed a telegram containing the news that feverish symptoms had returned to revive all the interests which only a month ago, as it were, assembled the civilized world round the wounded man’s bedside. For the second time, the hopes of the public have been checked, and each shock has revealed the falling off of the solicitude. Happily, the sanguine anticipations of the doctors are, it is insisted, proven to be as well founded as ever, and the interruption having been safely over- come, it is expected that the further progress to recovery will be unimpeded. But whether the illustrious sufferer is spared to his family and nation—as good people all the world over hope and pray—or whether he succumbs-to the cow- ardly shot, the beneficent influence of his bearing in this hour of trial will long remain. The spectacle of his courage, cheerfulness, unaffected piety, has had a sweetening effect in many lands. Henceforth President Garfield will share with George Washington the position of being held up to the imitation of his country- men as an example of high principle in the various relations of life, and of Christian courage in the hour of danger and death. The stricken man is known to all men as nothing but such an_ experience could haye revealed him, and nobly he stands the test. It is seen as by the revealing light of the noonday sun how he rose from the humblest ition to the highest office in the land, and in all that path no dishonorable step, no discreditable surrounding, is apparent. Without affectation or show, he had lived religiously, and when death seemed near he was supported by the tranquil courage which comes from reverencing the homely virtues. Life was not less dear to him because he did not fear death. He had more to live for than most men, because he honored every law- fal human tie and affection. His sick pre- sents an example of cheerfulness, courage and mons. Tue Main Exuieition Brit phia was sold at the Philadelph y terday to C, Bullitt, attorney-at-law, for the sum of $97,000.
