TH3 NEW CONGRESS. In tho Senate yesterday a remonstrance Ww ®* ventwa* from the New York Chamber of Commerce against tho passage of the Tariff bill, which was referred to the Finance Committee. Considerable discus- sion took placo on a motion made to receive the minority report of the Reconstruction Committee, Bubmitted some days since. The report was finally adoptod. Mr. Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, Feported back, and asked to be discharged from the fur- _ ther consideration of several petitions, among them one for the spoedy trial by court martial of Jeff Davis, and One for the expulsion of Garret Davis from the Senate. Mr. Sumner prosented a petition that Indian fire crackers and other foreign fireworks be pro- hibited, which was appropriately referred. A bill was report-d with amendments to regulate appoint- ments to and removals from office. The joint Tes intion for the settlement of the military claims againsi Nevada was adopted, fr, Wade introduced a Joint resolution guarantecing loans to the republic of ‘Movico to the amount of fifty millions, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The Army bill was called up, but on account of the excessive beat the Senate adjonmed at two o'clock. In the House Mr, Schenck made an appeal to members in regard to the various army bills pending between the two houses. He said General Grant urged the necessity of a bill being passed immediately, as there was a pressing demand for more troops than could be enlisted under the present law. The Conference Committee on the bill to further prevent smuggling madea report whch was agreed to, Tho bill to quiet land titles in California, Which Las beep before the House for a long tims, was thon takon up and passed. Consideration of the Tariff! Dil was resumed in Committee of the Whole, and con- Bi rable progress was made. The duty on tea was fixed at twelve and a half cents a pound, and on colfee at two and 4 hall cents. EVROPE.

France is uneasy. Tho recent debates in tho Logista- tivo Corps’ which aro reported by the subjects of the Press ‘warnings’ of Napoleon and the system of Military conscription by which the armies aro raised, re- flect the fact, while remarks of the opposition members Prove vory clearly that in objecting to both they know ‘that they may rely on the support of the people.

It was reported me Polioy of the late adminisira- Sion towards foreign enterprises will ‘not be changed. The country was quiet, except at Seybo, where a fevelution, headed by Guillermo, one of Baez's Svards, had broken out. It was expected that it would be cabily quelled. Commercial business was very dull, ‘were looking up. The summer rains Dealth of the city was good. bp Prevailing styles in the articles of ress trimmings, lace, sashes and scarfs, reported, and the catalane chapeau (a on tat) described. : if i ith Hi Pa additional losses, amounting in the ag- @rogate to about $100,000, are also given. Woe publish thie morning several newspaper accounts giving Anteresting particulars of the conflagration, Meetings 4n aid of the sufferers have been held in nearly all the ‘Amportant elties and villages in the country, and the ap- ‘peals to the charitable have met with prompt and mu- nificont responses, In this city, at a meoting of influen- Ual citizens héld at the Astor House yesterday after. noon, important action was taken in the mat fer, and some seven thousand dollars immedi- ‘Mely contributed, the Messrs, Stetaon offering the free ‘ase of their parlors for future meetings, besides sub- scribing tho liberal sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was also held, ‘and the sum donated was over twelve thousand dollars, At a similar meoting held last evening at the City Hall, Brooklyn, ander the presidency ot Mayor Booth, over two thonsand dollars were collected, and commitices “were appointed to take active measures for the promo- Lion of the objects of the meeting. One fatal cage of cholera was reported in this city you Yorday, and one in Brooklyn. The heat yesterday in the city was most oppressive, the thermometer in some parte of the city ranging as high as ninety-eight degrees in the shade, A ereat many Paces of aunstroke orcurred in this city, also in Brooklyn and Now Jersey. Even on the seashore at Rockaway ‘and other places the hoat was intense, Coroner Gamble held an inquest at Bellevue Hospital roatorday on the body of Miss Eleanor A. Jones, who tommitted suicide on Friday morning, in front of the fesidence of Dr, Von Frech, on Second avenue. It ap- appears from the testimony taken that the doveased and Dr. Von Frech bad lived together as husband eog wife at the honse of Maria Zeies, Jad that at tho éxpiration 9% ome Big month#a separation took place, whereupon deceased be- tame frantic aud dospondent, several times threatening jo kill Von Frech and to take her own life The Jory found that her doath was caused by suicide while labor. ing under tomporary aberration of the mind Au inquest was held yesterday afteruoon op the body of William Sanders, a jourmeyman tailor, wivieh was found floating in the East river, and adjourned to five P. M. this afternoon, in the absence of important evidence incident to the real cause of death. The evidence adduced thas far seemed to conflict with the opinion given by the med. ical men who made the post-mortem examination on the body.* Farther developments are expected ere the con- clusion of the inquest, A reward of two thousand dollars has been offered for the rearrest of Lamirande, the French embezzler. Officer Green, connected with the United States Mar- shal’s office, in whose custody the prisoner was when he effected his escape, had a hearing before Commissioner Osborn yesterday; but the case was postponed until Monday morning to allow the accused to make out his defence, . fe Application was yesterday made to Jndge Clerke, in the Supreme Court, Chambers, by the Corporation Coun- sel, for the appointment of Commissioners of Assessment and Appraisement in the proposed up-town Boulevard. The Judge took the papers and reserved his decision. A writ of habeas corpus has been served upon General Sickles by the United States District Court of Charleston, 8. C., ordering him to produce the bodies of some men who are under sentence of death for killing three sol- diors, ‘The Gonoral refused to comply with the order. Judge Bryan then ordered an attachment to issue against him for contempt of court, returnable on Tuesday. Information has been received in San Francisco by way of Acapulco that the liberals had captured the city of Santiago, and were threatening San Blas and Tepic. Advices received at San Francisco state that the French ship Rhin went ashore near Guaymas, and was believed to be a total loss, The Adjutant General of Canada reports the available force of the militia of the province to be thirty thou- sand, and recommends a further augmentation of five thousand to mest any further emergency that may arise from Fapian raids, He also complains of the inefficient equipment of the cavalry and fleld artillery. Jeff Davis was visited yestorday by George W. Brown, one of his counsel, and by Burton N. Harrison, formerly his private secretary. They spent the day with him, and returned North in the evening. All hopes of a parole or of being admitted to bail, are now given up by his coun- sel and friends, His health is said not to be as good as it was a few weeks ago, As stated yesterday in our despatches from Washing- ton, Paymaster Paulding has beon found guilty of the charges proferred against him, and sentenced to bo eashiered, to pay a fine of five thousand dollars and be imprisoned for the term of one year. Business was light yesterday, but prices, as a general thing, were well sustained, both for imported goods and domestic produce, On ’Change flour was quite active, and prime grades were firm. Wheat was dull and heavy. Corn was 1c. higher, while oats wero steady. Pork was less active and lower. Beef remained steady, Lard continued dull and heavy. Whiskey was quiet. Freights were very quiet. Groceries and cotton continued dull and nominal, The Curious Combinations and Compli- cations of the European War. General Cass, many years ago, in debating in the United States Senate the Oregon ques- tion of “Fifty-four forty or fight,” attributed the “Thirty Years War” of Germany to a reli- gious quarrel between two peasant women over a well-bucket ; and if we are not mistaken he traced, @ la Dumas, all the horrors of the first French revolution to a diamond necklace of Queen Marie Antoinette. His object was to show that great wars often spring from the most trifling disputes. The civil wars of the old Saxon Heptarchy are thus set down by Milton as being as senseless as the squabbles of 80 many flocks of rooks, Kites and crows in the air. We may add that from the time of William the conquering filibuster to the snufting out of the last Pretender of the worthless family of the Stuarts, the civil wars of England were still of she order of the Hep- tarchy. But of all the stupsd quarrels of rival States, houses, princes, or prewenders, or of all of them mixed together, the most stupid and scandalous was that Schleswig-Holste‘n quarrel, provoked by the Germans with Denma"k, and resulting in the forcible seizure of tizose Duchies by Austria and Prussia, This roB= bery, once agreed upon, was very easy and simple operation ; but when the robbers came to the disposition of the spoils they speedily betrayed the baseness of their highway coali- tion. . This little spark will some day be blown into a flame that will envelop the Continent, is a prophecy that has been attributed to Lord Pal- merston. We think it quite likely that he ut- tered it; for his long and intimate experience in the trieks and intrigues and con- flicting schemes of kings and dynasties and Church and State which make up the science of European diplomacy, enabled him to see what was coming. His very intimate and ex- cellent friend, Louis Napoleon, also saw that there was a Eurdpean imbroglio in this Schles- wig-Holstein business, and so he proceeded at once to work it up, as a keen police detective Proceeds to work up a mysterious bank rob- bery—the controlling ideas in each case being precisely the same—an prestige and ®& handsome reward. Bismarck, Prime Minis- ter of Prussia, was thus choven as the conve- nient instrament of Napoleon, and between film and King Vietor Emanuel the Emperor of ‘the French has been remarkably successful in | fomenting a Earopean war while pleading and preaching the blessings of peace. Napoleon, with Sir Lucius O’Trigger, doubt- Jess is satisfied that “it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands,” and that “It would bea pity to spoil it” It is certainly a quarrel involving many curious combinations and complications, political and ecclesiastical. For example, the favorite son of Mother Church and guardian of the Pope, sides with Protestant Prussia and with those archheretics Victor Emanuel and Garibaldi, of Italy—while Protestant England, with her favorite princess royal wedded to the crown prince of Prussia, still sympathizes with Catholic Austria, as do the most important of the little Protestant members of the German confederacy. The Oburch, therefore, Catholic and Protestant, is overshadowed in this war by questions of State, great and small. Napoleon fraternizes with Prussia because she promises to be useful to him in the enlargement of the boundaries of France, and for the same reason he is pledged to the cause of Italy, even though tho tomporalities of the Pope disappear in the conflict. England, on the other hand, though as a Protestant she may sympathize with Italy against the Pope, atill inclines to the cause of Austria with the instincts of the old Holy Alliance against imperial France. These, we say, are very curious combinations and complications ; but the game will become much more interesting as it is more fully de- veloped. As it stands, Napoleon is master of the situation ; for, England and Russia being neutrals, France is competent to settle the con- troversy against Austria in a three months’ campaign, if not in half a dozen words from Napoleon. But will Russia and England re- main neutral if France shall declare against Austria? “Thero’s the rab.” To this point the game of Napoleon has been beantifully successful, but here, just here, his trouble be- gins. England, beyond some Indications of sympathy with Austria, gives no sign of a par- tisan attitade in this conflict; but Russia, on the other hand, in the strong colamn which she ! has moved down woon the Austrian fromtier ia NEW YORK HERALD, evidently eagor for a hand in the fight. Whi side will she take? Has she forgotten Moscow or Sebastopol, or the treaty of Paris which took away from her the months of the Danube and gave them back to Turkey? We think not. In fact, if Alexander is on the side of Austria, awaiting a move from Napoleon, it becomes the policy of the latter to stick to his réle of neutrality. He ia in a situation of some danger in any event; for while the glory of France calls him to the field, the menacing attitude of Russia is not to be despised. We await, with still increasing interest, the arrival of the next expected European steamers, tim ieo—A Vigorous Cam- paign in Prospect. The correspondence from the city of Mexico and Vera Cruz which we published yesterday furnished many interesting facts in regard to the position of affairs in that country. The great anxiety of the imperialists, the renewed confidence among the liberals, and the commo- tion and great activity on both sides lead to the inference that we are on the eve of a fierce struggle and a hotly contested campaign in that country. The announcement that Napo- leon has promised the United States to with- draw the French troops from Mexico has re- yived the enthusiasm among the liberals, and there is every indication of a general uprising among the people, which threatens the expul- sion of Maximilian long before the period fixed upon for the withdrawal of the troops, The liberals, under this renewal of confidence, are securing funds, and are thus able to obtain arms and ammunition, the things which they above all others have stood in need of thus far during the struggle with imperialism. The modern and improved weapons of warfare which the agents of the liberal party have procured in the United States and sent to Mexico; the fact that cannon have been found in large numbers secreted in various localities, all prove the earnestness, the determination and the extensive prepara- tion of the liberals to eject Maximilian from the country. The strong manifestation of pub- lic sentiment in the United States has revived their courage, and they now see that there is a chance for the success of their cause, and are ready to take advantage of this opportunity. When we turn to the othor side we find that Maximilian is reduced to such financial straits that Marshal Bazaine is obliged to pay him five thousand francs per month, out of the military chest, to meet his urgent personal expenses. Desertions from the imperial army by compa- } nies and regiments are constantly being chron- icled. These facts remind both Maximilian and Marshal Bazaine that they will be obliged to make a desperate effort to prevent an ignomin- ious fiasco of this Mexican enterprise. In view of these facts and the renewed enthusiasm of the liberals, a new and vigorous campaign has been decided upon by the imperialists, in which Mershal Bazaine proposes to take the fleld in person at the head of the iroops. This is con- sidered absolntely necessary to revive the spirits of the troops and hold the army together until the time arrives for their departure. Tho fact of the matter is, they are obliged to resort to this move to cover their misfortunes and en- able the French troops to leave the country with some little éclat. Unless they can gain more decided advantages the commander of the French forces will go back to his country under acloud, and perhaps he will be forced to em- bark in advance of the time stipulated by Na- poleon. Reduced, then, to the alternative of a new campaign or an immediate flight from the evuntry, it seems that the former horn of the dilenzma has been decided upon. It is proba- ble, therefore, that a vigorous campaign will soon be inaugurated, and that a more fierce struggle will take place than any which has heretofore come@ off between the liberals and imperialists. It will be a contest on one side to save a reputation and on the other for re- publican liberty. The sudden and decided change in the morale of the liberal party, it seems to us, leaves no doubt as to the result of this campaign. The people have seen the disadvantage of the empire and have become tired of the dictation and interference by the crowned heads of Eu- rope. The result is that the factions which were for a long time keeping Mexico in hot water are now ready to drop all their personal animosities and unite, shoulder to shoulder, in the same cause. Under the first indication of the downfall of the empire the leaders of seve- ral factions set up their claim and pretensions for the control of affairs; but these differences are now being adjusted, and they will all unite in this grand campaign against imperialism. The result will be that Marshal Bazaine will find himself obliged to confine his operations solely to the defensive, and will be unable to inaugurate movements on the offensive. In fact we should not be surprised to learn that he has already become so alarmed that he con- siders it absolutely necessary to fight his way out of Mexico in order to obtain an oppor- tunity to leave at all, and that this, after all, is the secret of this new campaign. This, as « matter of course, will make the contest all the more desperate on the imperial side, while the enthusiasm which this condition of affairs will infuse into the ranks of the liberals will in- orease the vigor of the attacks from that quar- ter. If, then, Maximilian and the French com- mander wish to get out with any credit to themselves, the sooner they leave the better; for another campaign with the liberals under present circumstances cannot fail to be dis- astrous to the Imperial forces. Tewrerance Leoistation iN A Curious Puase.—The last Legislature attempted to in- augurate temperance reformation in this city. Piety men considered no act too harsh or re- strictive to be imposed upon our liquor dealers and liquor drinkers. The courts have decided that these reformers have gone beyond their limite—that they have exhausted their line. Over a million of dollars have been exacted by way of license tax from the liquor dealers and keepers of dram shops, and what is the result? We find that » most extraordinary degree of license, free of expense, is accorded to the dealers in ardent spirits throughout the city and suburbs, From ten thousand the number of dram shops will be augmented to fifteen thousand. In short, more ram will be sold now than ever before, and it is owing to the forbearance of respectable dealers that intemperance and drunkenness do not prevail to a more alarming extent than they do, We suppose there will be a second tax upon our citizens to enforce the temperance law. What will our taxpayers then do? Piety men may work for temperance réformation, but taxpay- ers have to pay the bill. Surely temperance legislation has assumed a curious obase, NS) UNDAY, JULY 8 ‘The Miscowcrument of the City-Matters Drifting Toto Inexivieable Confasion, Tho patioves with w vo citizens of New York submit to the present mismavagement ot municipal affairs is most extraordiuary, There bas been enough corruption, plundering and other species of raseality pr actis in varions departments of the city government during: the past few years to urouse 4 revolutionary ing among almost any other poople on the ta of the earth, The ghamiefu! violations of eon- tracts, by which the city bas been robbed of millions, as can be witnessed in the new Court House, Harlem bridge 224 other nefarions jobs, are notorious. Committees of investi tion have been appoinied; but they are worse than useless, for, ten chances to one, no com mittee of examination upon any charge of peculation can be raised within the purliens of the City Hall that does not contain persons who have more or less interest in the corrup- tions they are expected to expose, Most glar- ing instances of fraud are whitewashed with unblushing effrontery; so that the bare propo- sal to raise a committee to investigate a clear case of official corruption or wiliul violation of contract 1s regarded by our respectable citizens and taxpayers as but another scheme to pile on the expense of carrying on the city government. Although the Inst Legislature undertook to instiiute some reforms in the management of our municipal affairs, they are at this time in a worse muddle and & more inextricable state of confusion than ever. They are getting worse and worse every day. The Governor was au- thorized to appoint a commission to make a thorough examination into the affairs of certain city departments and report accordingly ; but he has not yet done #0, nor does there seem to be any likelihood of his doing so immediately. The Legislature first gave us a paid Fire Depart- ment, and blundered by not making the change from the popular volunteer system gradual, instead of precipitating upon us a new and un- tried plan for the extinguishment of fires. The consequence is there is a muddle in the Fire De- partment. It gave us a Board of Health, through which, no doubt, much good has been accomplished in abating nuisances and keep- ing the city clean and healthy ; yet the Board is restrained by an injunction from the courts from carrying out an important feature in sani- tary reform, that in relation to quarantine. Here isanother muddle. The Legislature gave us an Excise Board, from which great things were expected in the way of a temperance reformation. But after the Board had realized over a million of dollars from liquor dealers for licenses, the courts have declared the law unconstitutional and issued injunctions protecting dealers from the interference of the police; the Recorder and Police Justices will not hear complaints on accountof violations of the law, and the Grand Jury has been instructed not to entertain com- plaints. Here is the worst muddle of the lot, for now intemperance will thrive more luxuri- antly than ever. No liquor dealer, respectable or degraded, is now responsible fer the sale of liquors, and a reign of drunken- ness and vice is, for the present, or until the Court of Appeals decides upon the constitutionality of the act, practically inaugurated. Taking all these things to- gether, the fact is clear as the sun at noonday that our municipal government is in a most wretched, corrupt and Aangerous condilion. One department works against the other, and they ali labor for the depletion of the public treasury, and, as a necessary consequence, the augmentation of our already enormous tax bills. These evils must be corrected, or before long the burdens of our loca} government will become too intolerable to be borne, and a sweeping and radical change will be necessary. ‘This can best be done by the Legislature ap- pointing a Supreme Commission to control the affairs of the city, a Supervising Board that shall have power to supervise the Supervisors and scrutinize with a penetrating eye the cor- rupt jobs that are continually springing up in the several departments. This board should have authority to direct as well as investigate, and to punish, by summary removal -or other- wise, all officials found guilty of betraying their trusts. When this is done we may look for some honesty and practical reform in the man- agement of our municipal affairs. Trauuax Orgra mw 4 Bap Way.—From pres- ent indications there is very little chance of a season of Italian Opera in this city for a long time. There are no signs of the old Academy, which was destroyed by fire, being very speed- ily rebuilt, although we heard some promises of its immediate reconstruction. It will pro- bably take many months before it can be put into available condition. It is said that Pike, of Cincinnati Operatic fame, who lost his really fine house by fire last winter, has purchased property on Twenty-third street, and is about to bnild @ grand Opera House there; but this will take year or more to get in order, so that the probability is that we shall have to wait two seasons for Italian Opera. Meantime, how- ever, we shall have Ristori, with a good dra- matic company, at the French theatre, in Sep- tember next,and that may prove attractive enough for the fall without the Opera. The theatrical business has fallen so low of late that there is a chance of many of the houses being shut up next winter. If such should be the case, it will be the fault of the managers, and not of the public. The people are as well disposed to patronize good plays as ever; but the managers have been conducting their houses so carelessly and with such little regard to public taste in the production of respectable dramatic works, that the people have grown tired of them. As far as Italian Opera is con- cerned we must be content to wait for some time for that class of amusement. | News from the Pacific. CHINAMAN—REPORTED LOSS OF SHIP RHIN—DROVONT IN AUS- TRALIA, BTO.

A Cask vor Mr, Hevry Benon.—An incident strik- incly ivatrative of “man’s ingratitude,” or woman's, which is all the same, and deserving of some action on the part of the society of which Mr. Bergh is President, has lately transpired in the Twenty-first ward. A few days since, while some hoys were bathing in one of the docks inthe Fast river, in this vicinity, one of them exhibited some indications of drown ng, which attracted the attention of a laree Newfoundland dog, the property of Mr Kelly, jn Thirty-fourth street, that had been watching their operations, perbans speculating im regnrd to the resrit’ of the sudden appearance of a policeman.

He was suddenly, it is believed, taken with a cramp ana drowned before assistance conld be given him.

The sheds remain intact, and the boats are unharmed and are running regularly upon the route as Masteal. THEODORE THOMAS’ ORCHESTRAL GARDEN CON- CRRTS. The popniarity of these concerts is = fait accompli. They are nightly crowded with the same kind of au- diences that attended the symphony soirées and con- certs of chamber music given in the motropolis for many years past, On Friday last there were nearly two thousand people present st the beautifal Ter- race Garden on Third avenue, drawn thither by the classical programme offered by Mr. Thomas The extraordinary attractions of the symphonies and classic overtures given every Friday have induced Mr. Thomas to devote a portion of the Tuesday evening Programme to the same kind of music. ‘The waltzes, polkas, marches, galops, and mazurkas of Strauss, Gungl, Lanner, Parlow, Stasny and Muller are the principal features of the salon ploces, The sparkling French over. tures and delightful melodies of the best Italian operas are a treat in this broiling weather. The gardens are handsomely laid out, and at night present a brilliant and ‘gay appearance. THE CONCERT AT THE LION PARK YESTERDAY. The Saturday concerts at the Lion Brewery Park during this season thus far have been very successful. They are always attended by an attentive and select audience, representing the musical portion of the New York publio. ‘The Lion Park yesterday was full of visitors, notwith- standing the excessive heat. The orchestral perform. ‘ances were conducted by Mr. Bergmann, and the pro- gramme on this occasion embraced selections of the choicest compositions of Fiotow, Strauss, Ricci, Rossini, Halevy, Meverbeor and others. The prograrame also incladed a march of Mr. W. Candid a well known composer of this city, a com fon which has gained a good deal of popniarity among the musicians of this benighted town. The programme further com- prised selections from Crispino {Riceiy; the siege of Corinth (Rossini): a romance for French ‘horn and flute of Halevy, and the Belvidere galop of Mr. F. Rietzel, of this city. ‘In Part Third the following compositions were rendered with the ysual fection, The ‘Overtare and orgie from the Hugueno'y’ (Meyorbeer); the “Prockueh Polka’ (Herzog): selections from the Africaine and the “Artist's Qaadrifie’ of Strauss, The “Prockuch Polka’’ is one of the most curious pieces in the polka line, and ‘ag it was rendered in quite a perfect style it had to be encored. The composer (Herzog), formerly of Bamburg, is now residing in some part of this country, In Part Second the “Bolvidere Galop’ formed an essen. tal part of the programme, It is the work ef a com- poner of this city, and one of the most favorite compo sitions im this line, It was rendered with great per- fection. The Lion Brewery concerts are some of the most appropriate musical enterprises during this hot ‘season. The Death of Mr. James Hayward. TO THE EDITOR OF TH HERALD. New Your, July 6, 1866.

THE PARK. turday Concert—The Personnel of the Crowd—The Arsenal, Mall, Terrace, dc., dic. It is interesting to study the physiognomies of one’a fellow passengers en route for the Park on a Saturdag afternoon, in one of those miniature purgatories, a Third avenue car, The descendant of the ten tribes from Chatham street who on other days of the week peratm- bulates up and down in front of @ dubious looking establishment, and accosts each passer-by with the insinuating ‘Step in, sir; goods for less than nufim, or forfeit the monish,” sits opposite, with that peculiar expression of the nose (the most mobile feature of his face), which betokens a “shent-per-shent”’ calculation. Saturday is his holiday, and he wisely teavea the malaria of decayed clothing and Chatham street, to breathe for an hour or two the pare, fresh atmosphere of the Park. Beside him is one of theses wonderfully fast young East Siders, with his girl, whe has got away from the factory for the afternoon. There is something defiant and supernaturally knowing about the hat, fixed on one side of course, the incipient mous- tache, tortured into every possible shape, the ‘loud’ col- lar and necktie, and the profuston{of vest and dollae Jewelry on the scion of the Bowery, and about the tradt- tional hat and feather, and impossible waterfall of hia inamorata, The sausage and kiise-lined form of a huge Dutchman with a dozen of his pretzel-fed progeny om either knee, looms np at the farther end of the car, and opposite him ie outlined the heavenward-tending nose of an Emerald Islander, with little Thady and Judy beside him. The trip to fifty-ninth street teats rather severely any non-liquescent qualities @ por- son may possess, and almost cooks him to a tun. But once in the cool shade of the Park and w> forget the ordeal we passed through. The “lungs of New York,'* as the Park is appropriately called, will send frosh and new life through the burning veins and fainting svs. tem. The Park is tho Newport, the Saratoga, and the Long Branch of the m dile and working classes of Ne York, and they find more enjoyment in its cool retreats and more beauties than does Upper Tendom at those fashionable watering places. There is no fear of ennui or becoming cloved or tired with it; for each visit devel opa new attractions for the visitor. ‘The trees and flowers are now in full bloom, and the air is resonant with the melody of the feathered songsters. One can feel com- pletely in the country in different parts of the Park, and isolate himself from the ceaseless hum of the immense crowd of visitors. We stumbled across many of the dolce far nien‘e disciples in little out of the way nooks and hiding places, stretched on the grase asleep and oblivious of the blue bottle flies that indulged in an involuntary promenade concert around their ears and noses, Sometim’s half a dozen of the promenaders assemble around the open mouth of the sleeper, and after peeping down the huge cavity in wonder and awe, disappear inside on an exploring expedition, Then the aforesaid cavity becomes violently agitated, the explor- ing party is driven forth by a few spluttering coughs, and with A hgarj’elt agathema on inseg!s ip general and blue bottle flies In partledtar ths Uisturbéd Afeoper seeks some less infested spot to finish his siesta, The principal attraction on entering for the mauy George Farcells from the country is 5 THE ARSENAL, where they exchange hidoous grimaces with the baboon and monkeys, watch with interest the open expression of the all gator’s countenance, and drive pins in the side of the bear, causing that iraseible animal to rear on hie hind l-gsand enter a violent protest with his claws against such trearment. ‘The ‘dhrum-o’-daries,” as an enthusiastic Fenian called the ungamly looking speci- mene of the African desert, were looked npon with dis- trust by some of the venerable grandmothers of the chubby juveniles, who insisted on offermg them every description of dainty and confectionary. One old tad; insisted that the inoffensive camels “wern’t right and it was a temptin’ Providence to go near them.’* She further said they were the handiwork of the “ould boy,” and strengthened her argament by pointing to the cool manner inwhich they stood ninety-five degrees Fahrenheit, The Art Museum had also its crowd of spectators and connoisseurs, of decidedly rural ideas, ‘Mein Gott,”? -soliloquized a bulky Rbine- lander, staring with wonder at the colossal ficure of Patrick Henry, “Henry and Goliath must have beem bruders and schwesters.’? ‘You're ont there,’ inter- posed a patriotic Hibernian, “ he was first cousin om the mother’s side to Finn Me“onl, and there's the aag he used to ride at the Currach,” pointing to. the prepos= terousiy large horse's head in plaster on an adjoining pedestal.

THR CONCERT. At four o’ctock the Mall and Terrace were densely crowded with what might be justly termed a cosmopoli~ tan audience, waiting impatiently for the preliminary roll of the dram and wave of the conductor's batoa. ‘When the crashing chords of the opening piece, ‘ Italia,” by Jacobi, rose from the fantastic called aloud in trumpet tone for the liberation of that fair clime, the scene brought os back to the banks of the Arno and the shores of the Adriatic.
