When it fs still water the trip is enjoyable. When the wind fans it many sensitive nerves are touched and much, sacrifice is made. Long before the town is reached it is In sight.

The wind-mill and the Jeok-out spire and the many cupoia buildings show themselves as the winding channel is fol- lowed, and at the point of the Nantucket hotel it seems as if every moment the boat must run , Upon the land, so near is it, At the wharf each beat is greeted by she petra character, « “Billy Clark,” the town crier, a relic of primi- tive days, always ready with some Ceteg chee the mainland and ail local occurrences, besides aifnouncing the opening of a box of attractive Goods at any of the merchants, WHALES AND SUMMER VISITORS.

Summer brings to .t not hundreds, but thousands of vis- itors, to enjoy the benefits of pure ocean air upon the easterninost land on our coast. And the larity of the iskand grows with each year. It is now called : WOMAN'S PARADISE, there being four hundred per cent more there than men. Can {t be paradise to those Eves without the indispensable Adams?

"Twas here under their influence that our Frederick Douglass made his first speech forty years ago, and under their patronage was given a rece} tion two weeks ago, company in which hi color was conspicuous by its absence. He de- livered a lecture on “John Brown.” ‘The Methodist chureb, with large. seat- ing capacity, was refused the committee, not on the color line, but on account of & division of profits, soit is said. Mr. Douglass stopped at the Sherburne house, made notable by being.the place in which’ the Hon. 8. @ Pomeroy’s brain hatched the great Pomeroy letter on the District Commissionership, 80 lately given to the world. Two gentlemen in- formed the proprietor that they could not be -seated at the same table with the representa- tive colored, man. ‘The proprietor asked them to settle their bills, for which act several of the Prominent sisters called to thank and con- gratulate him on his “magnanimous inde- pendence.” ‘THE PRIMITIVENESS OF SCONSET tsbroken. The ocean cilffs that have known naugbt of habitations for nearly two hundred Years but tiny fishers’ huts is now spreading out With notels and modern cottages and summer homes. Here in an antique little box, named “Bonnie Castle,” has the tamily of Mr. Wm. Ballantyne spent the last four summers. And inadear little home called “Hearts Ease’— over the door of which on an oar isa bunch of that flower painted as acoat of arms—for a number of seasons has resided Mr. J. Ormond Wilson and family.

So devoted to it is Mr. Ballantyne that far up on the cliff, looking direct across the water to the town of Orporto, Portugal, is he erecting a spacious cottage, where next sim- mer bis family may notenjoy any more com- fort than they do now, but they surely will hhave more room in which to bi and have their being. A narrow gauge railroad skirts the shore from Nantucket to Sconset. The run often miles is made in an hour. It could be made in better time but for stops, the engineer often having to go back to see if the sleepers or the track are disturbed by the passage of the train over it. y make it a point to examine the track behind the train and not in front. The oid mill built in 1635 still stands, and grinds as well today, so says the Port who owns it, as the days it was built. He knows, of course. A nickel is the “open sesame,” and one is allowed to see works within, and “the wheels go round.” About twenty-five hundred visitors this season shows the delight of the old foreigner at his bonanza. ‘He bought it tor a song some years ago, when wind mills were down and sound of the §rinding was low.” WHAT THE BICYCLIST MISSED. All these things the Capital Bicycle club have seen. They made the trip from the Bluffs, and like all distinguished Washingtonians, stopped at the Sherburne, near to which is the Wesco cottage, the elegant old summer home of our ‘esteemed citizen, Mr.H.A.Wllard,where he and his good wife so handsomely entertained them. A reception was arranged for Wednesday even- ing to the boys. The music was engaged. From every polnt of the island the loveliest girls were invited. The larder was well stocked. The lanterns adorned the grounds. The flags were Faised upon the pagoda, and everything in readiness. But lof the guests trom across the water came not. The storm had raised the Waves and not knowing of such an ovation, the arrival was postponed until the following day. So “Hamlet was played without Hamlet,” and almost broken-hearted were the boys’ when they were met at the boat next morning wit Alssttoo late. Especially when they learned that every young girl present to greet them was eligible and marriageable. Dr. W. W. Sprigg, of the Garfield hospital, Washington, being the only gentlemen present, was put up at auction and sold ata fabulous figure. How- ever, everything was Qoue for their pleasure and they left for their highland home, on Oak Biuffs, feeling grateful to their kindest of hosts and hostesses. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Hay have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Willard. Sum- mer birds now fit homeward. e+ —____ A Sketch of Hettie Green. “HER BOY SHALL BE THE RICHEST YOUNG MAN IN AMERICA,” From Washington Letter to Cleveland Leader.

Smith conducted the expe- dition up the Tennessee river to Savannah, Eastport and Pittsburg Landing, gave all thé orders and instructions up to within a few days of the battle of Shiloh, when his health, shat- tered by the merest accident, compelled hilm to relinquish the command again to Gen, Grant, who quietly resumed it where Smith had left otf—‘aceepted the situation’—made few or no changes, and fought on the ground which had been selected by Gen. Smith, the bloody battle of Shiloh, “During this flereely contested battle he dis- played the coolness, the personal courage, fore- thought and deliberation which afterwards made him famous among men; yet was he tra- dvced, slandered and wronged, not only by the press universally, but by those who were in Positions of authority over him. “You, however, who were at the battle’s front stood by him true and loyal always, and to his dying day he loved the Army of the Tennessee above all others by, Teason of their loyalty to him in these, the darkest days of his event- ful life. Nor was the end yet. After this great battle, three armies were assembled on that bloody field—Buell's, Pope’s and Grant’s— and Gen. Halleck came in person from St. Louis to command the whole with the declared purpose to assume the bold offensive. ‘The armies were reorganized. Buell’s army became the ‘center,’ Pope's the ‘ieft’ and Grant's was broken up. One under Gen. George H. Thomas, was styled the ‘right,’ whlie the other under Gen, McClernand,composed the ‘reserve,’ Gen. Grant was absolutely ieft out in the cold with a title, ‘second in command,’ unknown to American law or history. All move forth to Corinth, consuming the whole month of May, and during that month became cemented the Personal friendship between us which lasted Ul the end. “Not one word of complaint came from him; no criticisms on the acts of hls superior or gov ernment, yet the trembling eyelid, the silent tear and averted head told that his big heart was troubled, He knew that every officer and soldier that had followed him” with such noble courage and simple faith at Bel- mont, Henry, Donelson and Shiloh. felt for him, ‘respected him and understood the load of wleglect, if not of positive insult, he was carr “He know and felt thathe was in the way ot the commanding general—as if It were a dit wheel to a coach—with no real authority, no command, no positive right to order or évon advise bis’former subordinates, but Lam sure Bivouses, and that we understood aud arprock vouacs, and that we understood and appreci- ated the entire situation. - “Then occurred the most questionable‘strategy’ of the whole war, That magnificent army of near 100,000 of the best men on this continent, who could, if united, have marched to Vicks- burg, or to Mobile, was deliberately scattered. Gen.'Buell, with the army of the Cumberland, which Thomas had rejoined, was sent east wards towards Chattanooga and the others Were scattered defensively from Eastport to Memphis, Gen. Grant was sent to command the district of Memphis, and Gen. Halleck him- self, being summoned to Washington, cast about for a new commander of the Army of the Tennessee. He offered the post to a most wor thy quartermaster, who had the sense to decline, and, himself being compelled to leave, the command at the west devolved on Gen. Grant, not by selection, but by virtue of his superior commission.” THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT CAREER. “Thenceforward his career was ever onward and upward, and when, on the 4th day of July, 1863, Vicksburg surrendered to him, and the mighty Mississippi ‘went unvexed to the sea,’ the whole country arose and mized in bim the agent who was destined to guide and lead us all to final victory and triumph, ‘These circumstances were all known to you at the Hime; were little appreciated, and were in truth the first designed by Providence to test the ability, courage and endurance of him on whom ’ whole epoch in history was destined to hinge. “Others have told the whole story of the war, and still others are Fopeatin and elaborating it.

UPO™ 8? —————+o0—__ Signor Mina’s Two Wives. VERY BAD NEWS A NEW YORK LADY HAS JUST GOT FROM ITALY, ‘From the New York Sun, Aug. 30th. The death of Petro Mina on the 224 of July tn Italy has disclosed a state of affairs in his domestic relations which has made a sen- sation in Tremont. Mr. Mina was the senior member of the firm of Mina & Co., of 23. Wil- liam street, dealers in Italian goods, and was Worth about $250,000, In the summer of 1874 Mina was introduced ‘at Itner's hotel to Miss Marie Fox, a young lady who resided with her brother, James Fox, an importer of linens, who lived in Prospect avenue, Tremont, Mina ‘and Miss Fox became fast, friends at once, and on the 27th of August of the same Eh they made an agreement to get married, ‘he young lady, at the invitation of her afti- anced, aecompanted him the following Sunday to Odell’s hotel in East Chester, where he intro- duced her as his wife. From that time forward they lived together as husband and wife. Sogn afterward he purchased an elegant mansion at Prospect avenue and 175th street. The place contained more than an acre of ground, and is situated in the most aristocratic locality in Tre- mont, known as Fairmount, ‘The mansion was elaborately furnished, and there Miss Fox was installed as the bride and mistress. They lived in the most luxurious Style, having horses, car- riages, coacbmea, footmen, and a retinue of servants. Tiey commanded the respect ot everybody. About six weeks ago Mr. Mina salled for Italy, to be gone about a month, on alleged important business. While there, on the 22d of July, he died, but no information of the death reached Miss Fox until about six days ago, Then she heard of it through an em- ploye of the firm, and an answer 0 a cable- ram which she sent verified the report. Miss ‘ox then, as the widow apparent. of Mr Min: went to the store to look after her allege: husband's business, and there was met by the startling information that Mr. Mina has another, wife and several children in Italy, whom he cone to visit and with whom he died. Miss Fox, who eails herself Mrs, Mina, then consulted Lawyer ‘Wm. Marshall as to the proper course to pur- sue, and he took the case In hand yesterday by Preparing an application to the surrogate to have “Mrs. Mina appointed administratrix of the estate. Mrs. Mina,or Miss Fox, claims that she made a nuptial contract with him in good faith, and that the Italian lady must ap- Pear and prove her claim as a wile before she will surrender her alleged mghts, Yesterday Miss Fox was busily engaged breaking up housekeeping and carting her furniture down town, where it is being stored preparatory to fein. it into an elegant flat. ‘She declines to live alone in the mansion. She is a finely edu- cated Woman and very pretty, The develop- ments of the past twenty-four hours have made a decided sensation in Fairmount, jee Is the Missing Woman Dead? WHAT THE PROSECUTION MUST PROVE TO CON- VICT MITCHELL OF THE CHARLES RIVER ‘MURDER. A telegram from Boston, August 29th, says: The trial of Frank Mitchell, the allegea perpe- trator of the Charles river tragedy, will doubt- less be conducted similarly to that of Maxwell in St, Louls—that is, the prosecution will be re- quired to prove that the person believed to be murdered isflead. The police expect to have conalderable difficulty in establishing the iden- tity of the body that was found floating in the river, because there have been so many cases of mistaken identity recently where the ap- arances appeared to be quite strong that a Fary woula feel justified in'demanding strong evidence. Only afew of the witnesses saw the body, and then it was badly decomposed. A reat many persons identified it as that of Mrs, itehell from the plaster cast and the photo- raph of the body, and while there is little joubt of the identification, the sharp lawyers whom Mitchell has engaged will make the government prove it. Further evidence has been obtained which proves that the plece of carpet found wrapped about a portion of the mutilated body came from the Mitchell house. When searching the cellar the detectives pulied up all the boards and washed and dried them, with the hope of finding traces of blood. They refuse to say Whether such traces Were discovered oF not. ther evidence in possession of the police goes toshow that Mitchell quarrelled with his site just before 8 o’clock on Monday evening, July 20, and that he throttled her after a desperate resistance. The marks and bruises on the body spoken of in Medical Examiner Hurris’ report show that the woman was beatenand strangled, It is supposed that the body was concealed in the house on the day following (Tuesday), and that during that evening and night the’ cut- ting up of the body was begun and complete that at about 2 o'clock in the morning the mur derer carried the sack containing the head and trunk of the victim to the West Boston bridge and dropped the re- mains overboard not far from the draw; that he went back to the house from the bridge Just before daylight, and taking other portions ‘ofthe body in @ wheelbarrow, dumped them overboard from a wharf extending from Com- merolal street. On Wednesday night he com- pleted the disposing of the body by dropping e legs off another wharf at the north end. ‘There is agreat deal ot other eviaence which has not yet been given to the public. The police do not believe that the murder was premeditated. Their theory is that Mrs. Miteh- ell greatly provoked her husband while he was intoxicated, and that he became go exasperated. that he seized her. by the throat, and before he let go choked her to death. ‘Then he clther cut up the body himself or hired some one to do it for him, though this latter theory is hardly probable. Evidence obtained by the police may go to show it, however, ———— +e+____ ‘The New Star in Andromeda. ‘From the Boston Advertiser, Sept. 5. ‘There is one counterpart, and only one, in astronomical history to the recent phenomenon of the nebuls in Andromeda, That is the com- pact nebula or cluster of stars in the constella- tion Scorpio, which was discovered by Messier about 1760.

Lovdon Letter to the Buffalo Express. ‘There was much greater simplicity in the costumes Goodwood cup day this year than has been usual on former occasions; and, ow- ing tothe recent extreme heat,a great many Indies appeared in white muslin dresses, with white bonnets, gloves and parasols, which gave them sn almost bridal nce, There was ive dress of white lace, made with ‘and gathered at the back, into which & little pale green was happily introducea; a narrow green waistbelt and streamers at ihe sides; parasol lined with green, and a little green in the bonnet, which was without strings, and made of white lace; @ spray of white flowers and ferns was worn.at the throat, An- other quaintlooking lady wore white muslin much Iriiled aud dounced, with an old-tash: foned mantelet of pale pink surah silk, and a Waite hat lined with pink. This costume was unique, and suited the small figure of the wearer’ remarkably well. A canary-colored dress of muslin and lace was made in the house- maid style, and a small toque was worn to mateb, with veil, gloves and parasol all en-suite. There ‘were several coollooking pink and white striped muslins and several gay striped muslins Known as Christy Minstrels, and a par- ticularly handsome gray cashmere was taste- fully braided, with gold srabesques on the paneisof the skirt and on the walsteoat. The ress improvers were decidedly small, and the tendency was to wear fewer flowers and less Jewelry than last year. Bonnetsof every shape were more worn than hats, and the basket plaits were more adopted than any other style of hairdressing. Many ladies had quite aban- doned fringes in front and the hair was rolled back from the face instead. Large pulfs at the waist, With broad sashes of colored ribbon fall- ing over them, were much in vogue; also the narrow ribbon waist belts and streamers, which are a pretty fashion for young girls. But on the whole there were fewer elaborate toilets than have been seen at former Goodwoods, and simplicity in dress seemed the order of the Ought to Ke Tarred.

His delight is to enter a car, one side of which at least is well filled with ladies, He will seat himself on the opposite side of the car and commence his persecution, which fs all the more cruel because there is nothing tangible to resent, With his hands Innocentiy folded in his lap he will begin to look intently on the floor at the end of tlie seat opposite. Of course the woman in that corner, be she young or old, buxom or scrawny, bold or modest, will ai once become conscious of her feet, jot daring to look down she will feel certain there is some- thing wrong, and first one foot will twitch, shift uneasily Its position, draw back as far as the seat will let it, seek the companionship of its mate, both of them will_squirm in the vain endeavor of each to hide behind the other, and finally in agonized desperation the unhappy woman will drape her skirts in a manner Known only to the sex so that neither 10 visible.

Nellie Grant's Unhappiness. ‘Mrs Hooper's Paris Letter to the World, The American papers state, I see, that Mrs. Nellio Grant Sartoris is talking ot returning to the United States to reside. I hardly think that she has found England a pleasant dwel- ling place, Her first impressions were fornied when she visited Europe as the daughter of the President ofthe United States, and she was, in consequence, caressed and feted wherever she went, On her return as Mrs. Algernon Sartoris she found things by no means as brilliant and agreeable, She had been wild to return to don, where she had been so_superbly tained, but London to Mrs. Sartoris what it had been to Nellie Grant. In the first place her father was no lonser President of the United States and our “Wepublican Princess” as she used tobe called, was princess no lor nor was she welcomed and worshiped as suc Secondly, she had a mother-in-law—a li was bora at Kemble, a fact that implies much, Itis true that theelder Mrs, Sartoris did notsur- vive her son's marriage man rs, but atter her death her inconsolable widower retired to strict seclusion on bis country estates, taking with him his son and daughter-in-law ahd their children. Such an existeucecan hardly have been very exhilarating or enjoyable to an American girl, and especially to one whose girlhood had been passed at the White House as the leading young lady of American society. = Son = FFICIAL DRAWING LOUISIANA STATE LOTTERY, SINGLE NUMER CLASS "I."

What it is to Have Faith, From the Gentieman’s Magazine. There is the story of the French erlminal who died because he believed that he was belng bled to death, while in reality his arms were only pricked, and a sound of trickling water made to imitate the noise of the blood flowing forth, In the same way it is recorded how Mr. Loutherbourg cured large numbers of patients by attacking the imagination. Among those who had visited bim was a man who had been troubied with great pains and swellings, par- ticularly about the loins, so that he could not walk across the room. On entering, Mr. Lou- therbourg looked steadfastly at him'and said: “{ know your complaint; look at me.” They continued looking at each other some minut then Mr. Loutherbourg asked if he did not teel some warmth at his loins, whereupon the man replied that he did. “Then you will feel in a few minutes much greater warmth.” After a short pause the man said: “I feel as if a person were pouring bolling water upon me.” Still looking in his face, Mr. Loutherbourg said: “How did you come here, sir?” “In acoach.” “Thengo and discharge your coach and walk back to town.” The coach was discharged, and the patient walked to town, and nextday he walked five hours about town without fatigue. "Similarly, Sydney Smith relates how the banker-poct Rogers caught @ bad cold simply from. im- agining a window to be open, but which all the time was shut, It was at a dinner party, and the great sheet of plate glass had deceived Rogers, who was sitting in wht he thouzht, to be adangerous draught. To quote a further case: Dr. Sigmona relates how a poor woman, having applied to a physician for acure of an affection of the breast, he gave her a_prescrip- Hon, which he directed should be applied to the breast. She returned at the end of a few days to offer her grateful thanks for the cure, which he had effected; but on making inquiry as to the mode of action, hv ascertained that his patient had very carefully tied the prescription round her neck, Faith cures of this kind are of constant occurrence, and we know how many persons, when suffering from maladies connect- ed with’the brain or nervous system, have been restored to their abnormal state of health by simple faith, Thus startling effects have occa- sionally followed the swallowing of such make- belief remedies as pills composed of bread or sugar, This accounts, therefore, for the cures which were ‘wrought in days gone by, even when a . ia ‘ward one the most absurd preseriptions were often given to patients sufferiug froin nervous diseases. Prot, Ball, the well-known astronomer royal for Ireland, makes a conclse distinction be- tween shooting stars and meteorites, which are popularly regarded asthe same. In the case of the former Prof, Ball remarks one special point, namely, that certain great showers§are periodi- cal, and always come from the same parts of thé heavens—the interence from these recur- ring periods being that the orbit of the earth then cuts the orbit in which a mass of these is moving. With this fact of recurrence is erother Pile hg certain otter, periodi- and, from @ comparison of their sui epee te those of ps of colle Tenary connection between them is supposed, earth’s bese seers improbable from any of them, it much more ‘wore in former times of greater ity driven up from the earth ite agai rt the lapse of ages, in its orbit. ————— +°¢—____— A Young Woman's Queer Story.
