Surely to the weary toiler in the hot hives of city industry the flelds and flowers, the blue waves and the purple hills preach as eloquently of the goodness of God and the beauty of “perfect order” ag the dogmatic discourses of the preacher. Let it be confessed, too, that no other city in the world is #0 charmingly near to everything that is lovely in scenery as our own. Stray where you will, you can hardly go a ten miles’ Journey tn any direction from the City Hall clock without being amply rewarded for the expense and time Involved in the expedition. East and south there is the glorions ocean, with long stretches of white or yellow beach, dotted here and there with | summer colonies of believers in salt-water hydropathy and those who minister to their needs, To the west there are the orchards and smiling mendows of Jersey, and to the northward the Hud- son winds like a huge silver thread through leafy woodlands and pleasant felda and tall barriers of sober colored rocks. Ina couple of hours the for- tunate citizen of New’ York can delight his eyes and soothe his troubled soul with some ot the noblest and grandest examples of Nature's loving handiwork. Flowers and birds, sea and river and brook, ancient trees and the “eternal hills”—all that men in the past have everywhere found most eloquently susgranye of poetry and true wisdom—these are within the reach of the humblest occupant of a dismal room in a tenement rookery in the Five Points, it he will but make good use of the enforced leisure of the Sab- bath, A fare on a street car railroad will earry him to scenes where he might roam for years, and still find fresh themes for wonder and admiration, And while it must be admitted that the vast majority of Sabbath excursionists have but a dim conception of securing anything but a day's basking in the bright sunshine and a day’s enjoyment of the sweet, fragrant country air, yet still they cannot fall to unconsciously grow healthier, In mind as well as in body, for these careless wander- ings through the temple of Nature, Descending to particulars, it may be said that peaterday was the first great day of the season, Every line of travel was at last fairly reopened, and car and steamboat carried full freights, The wea- ther could scurcely have been lovelier, though until nine o'clock the sky was clouded over, and theve seemed no faint probability of the speedy advent of another sto:m such as those which within the past week have twoor three times paid us a visit, About the time that the church bells began to ring, however, the sun broke out froin his veil of sullen gleom, and the clouds soon rolled slowly away to the eastward. For the rest of the day every one felt that there was, if anything, a little too much sunshine, and as he panted up a hill, or gusped for breath in a crowded Third drew the largest share of visitors. It is cheaper to go to Westchester, or Hoboken, or Staten Island than to steam all the way to Newburg, or to rattle up to Lake Mahopac, and the scenery, if a little less striking, is at any tate beautiful enough to enable a Dwmnan belng of healthy tastes, assisted by an occa- sional draught of lager, or something stronger, and abondant cigars, to idié away the hours in Nacid content, The Harlem steamers and he North River and Staten Island ferry- boats, therefore, were crammed to overflow- | ing, ‘aud, welghted deep down in the water with their animate freights, steamed gal- lantly througn the water at intervals a little less prolonged than were promised by the advertise- ments. Fort Lee and Weehawken also were well atronized, aud hetter order is reported to have been ob. ad than has lately characterized the trips of the boats that ply to thoses places. Cone: Island was, of course, flooded with Sabbath tmmi- grants, but they all found room enough and to of this race, as taken is aa un ) by Benson's chronogiaph, bes; durat Shs.

The match is at 100 birds each ; the Rhode IslandClub rules to prevail, Bogardus is the favorite at the pool sales, as he has won 8!x matches out of seven against Paine, but the latter thinks now that he can shoot better than ever before, and hence his anxiety for the present match, Palne wagers $1,250 against $1,000 that he wili win, ‘The match will be well worth witness ing. [from The Fietd, June 1.) HURLINGHAM CLUB, The fact of the Coaching Club having its first meet of the season between jive and six o’ciock on Satur- day prevented many shooters from attending at Hurlingham; but for all this there was a numerous secured forty entries, The siooting, which took place under the walnut tree, was not particularly good, although several of the competitors made sone rbot ret f fine shots with thelr second barrels, During the greater part of the afternoon the light was bad, and Hammond's birds, being fast and strong, required a deal of killing. Including the tie birds 1vé were trapped, and of these 120 were killed and seventy-six missed, Mr. Loriliard and several American ladies and gentlemen were pre- sent, The former, who fas lately been elected a member of the club, shot for the first time at Mur- lingham, Tun Dsrsy HANDICAP, of 6 sovs. each; 8 birds each; usual conditions; the winner, £120 and a eentral-fire breech-loader by Stephen Grant, presented by the club; second, £56; Untrd, £26; 40 suba, {The asterisk (*) preceding a shooter's name in- dicates it is an assumed name; P.

But it is only of a Sunday night that the Central Park appears in all its glory and splen- dof, when the light of the cool stars falls on the Rambte, full of jovers and affectionate girls, who seek these dark recesses to listen to vows that are renewed and plighted by the light of the moon and in the shades of the shrubbery. Then the Park seems to put on another look, and its avenues are uarded by the twin sisters Secrecy and Love. Sun- jay night, by allmeans, theretore, is the time to visit the Central Park, when the poetical influences are abroad, and when the happy population of Gotham are abroad, taking the fresh air and ful- filling the inexorable decrees of Mother Nature, Over one hundred thousand people visited the Park yesterday and evening it is calculated. A move- Ment is on foot to have a Sunday afternoon con- cert given here, as in European cities, VISITORS TO PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN, The delightful weather of yesterday afternoon had the effect of attracting thousands of people to Prospect Park, Brooklyn, where the beauties of tho scenery, the luxury of repose in shady nooks, on rustic seats, the exercise of @ row on the silvery waters of the lake, ora drive in some description of wheeled vehicle, or mounted on a livery stable steed, all went to make up the great variety of en- Jjoyment experienced by the ‘‘toilers of the week? at this charming popular resort, There were to be met the eight-hour strikers of every branch of in- dustry, together with their families, discussing the rospects of the issue of their strikes during the Incoming week, and bate their wives and children the frequent pleasure of a trip to the Park during week evenings, “when the day’s work is done,” at five o’clock. The merchant, too, saun- tered out to the Park and while he drank of the rich, life-invigorating breezes wafted over the waters of the bay he felt himself rejuvenated in mind and body and ready for greater enterprises on the morrow. The weary working women, sewing girls and others whose duties are of a sedentary or confining nature strolled quietly along the velvety verdure clad lawn, or beneath the shade of the woods which dot the Park at short intervals, and as the flush of warm life blood came back to the hitherto blanched face of the weaker sex, thus coyly courted by the rosy June wind, no thought of pilot anata on the ee of the designers of this costly place for popular bd lone aud recupera- tion entered the mind of the poor being who derived its benefit, ‘The noble work is an evidence of genuine desire on tho part of the city to con- tribute from the means which nature, position and wealth have placed at its command tothe health and well being ot the great musses of the popu- lation who are debarred, through lack of means, from such enjoyments and recreation, The =; eral verdict of those who a clate this fact is that Brooklyn's eight-miliion-dollar park is a grand con- ee and & success. ad sa Cg? of ae ark yeater peared e walk acrons the wn to the Zoste thenee down the stairway and over tho bridge crossing the cascade, Lage bond olen. to Nethermead nedea! concourae, Near | bestow: setting sun, and | ment. this point ia the “shelter Cottage,” & baliding of very picturesque design, fitted in the most perfect, manner for the refresiiment and entertainment of ins to that quarter.

Although the art season has been unusually bril- liant in the number and character of Paintings ac- quired by the public, times in the studios have been dull. The picture buying rage early took a foreign direction, and preserved it with but slight interruption to the last. It was certainly unfor- tunate for the native artists, whose losses must have been quite considerable, although there ts reason to hope that the ultimate result will be beneficial to the interest of art in this country, There was exhibited a strong disposition to recognize merit and much sound judgment in the choice of works, Of course there was also & good deal of questionable patron- age indulged in by people with more money than taste, but this will cure itself in time, and It fe better that people should buy with poor judgment than not buy atal), The influx of foreign pictures has not been without a very marked influence on our native school. A spirit of rivalry was awakened which gave us quite a num- ber of paintings of a high order. For the most part these works were not scen by tho public, having been carried off to private galleries, The picture historian of our art progress will not, how- ever, fail to mark the number of strong and orig- inal works which this year has bronght forth. Most of them have already been noticed at con- siderable length in these columns, Under the clreumstances to which we have alluded the artists as a body are looking anxtously to quit ting their studios for their summer rambles in quest of subjects and patrons, Several ambitious pictures are receiving the last touches, Among these a delightful view of the harbor of Brindis!, by 8. R. Gifford, The view is looking out to sea, with the old medimval fortress looming up on the left. A fieet of fishing boats with their triangular sails set are coming into port. The scene conveys a sense of indolent peace, which is only broken by the distant breakwaters in course of construction, These are the only evidences of activity and pro- gress. The blue waters spread out like a placid lake and tiie sense of snitry atmosphere has been admirably conveyed. This picture is certain to ac- quire new interest with time, asa few years will completely revolutionize the aspect of the harbor which is destined to become the great emporium of the Eastern trade. Mr. Gifford has treated the pleware in his most effective manner, and manages 0 Suggest both the present repose and the future activity of the place. “A day on the Nile” is a simple and effective composition, which aims at giving us an {dea of the oe Deaton of an Egyptian aylight rather than any striking landscape effects, Yet the character of the locality has been seized with admirable force, and correctly expressed. avenue car, fairly groaned at tie heat.

There is something in the picture which tells us at once that it is a faithful transcript of a scene witnessed by the artist, but passed through the process of ideal- ization which is the unseen power that compels us to admire the commonest transcripts of nature when once they have been touched by the hand of genius, The muddy waters flow by unbroken by a ripple, and a number of camels are coming down through the strand, These scant materials have been used with grave gucanent, and, without any straining after effect, have been wrought into an excellent picture of one phase of Egyptian river life. But it is in the happy way in which the atmos- pheric effects have been rendered that the greatest success has been achieved, - M. I’. H.

The lord has been wounded, and is standing in the foreground with his wife and coniessor, He is in the act of drawing his sword to enga again in the combat, and the artist, with considerable success, has striven to express resolution tinged by the Knowledge of an almost inevitable doom. This is made the chief pene of the composition, to which everything else is but accessory. The costume is carefully studied and well painted. The picture has been pur- chased, we believe, by W. IL. Vanderbilt. J. G. Brown has Just finished a delightful picture, which he calls “The Story of Rip Van Winkle.’ Two little children are listening with all the ingen- uonsness of childhood to the sad tale which their mother is relating to them before Rogers’ statuette group. The composition of the picture and the ex- pressions of the children are simply admirable, es- pecially the inquiring and half-tearful look of the ittle girl Mr, Brown has thrown all his powers of characterization into this picture, which i also re- markable for close and careful technical handling and brilliancy of color, Mr. Henry is working on a charming little pic- ture, which he calls “Courtship in the Last Cen- tury.” It is well drawn and strong in color, and conveys its story with directness. OPENING OF THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. A large party of gentlemen left the depot of the Pennaylvania Central Railroad, in Jersey City, on Saturday morning, at nine o'clock, in a specia, train, to witness the inauguration of the Midland Railway. The train stopped at every Important sta- tion, and reached Ellenville, in Ulster county, N. Y., at three o'clock. Here the party dined, and after- wards remained till five o'clock, when they set out forhome, This road passes through a beautifal sec- tion of country, taking in Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Sussex counties, in New Jersey, and Orange and Ulster counties, in New York, as far as Ellenville. Here occurs a break of seventy miles, at the end of which the road fs continued to Oswego. The missing link will be supplicd by next October. It is claimed that this route is shorter by seventy miles to Butalo than any other, Among the points of tn- terest along the line those which attracted particu- lar attention were Wyckol’, Wortendyke, Oakland, Franklin Furnace, the Wallkill Valley, the Shawan- gunk tunnel and the exquisitely beautiful cataract on the crest of the mountain at Ellenville, Frank- lin is seen eR tire, in the centre of a valley through which a small river takes its age acti course. Asthe road nears the New York State line a fine rolling country becomes tho great feature. The good, quict folks of Ellenville, whose sober wishes near learned to stray in the dlrection of our great metropolis, gathered around the visitors and viewed the locomotive with much curiosity, though not with the same jealousy as the Cheyennes did the progress of the Union Pacific Railroad. THE SMALLPOX IN JERSEY CITY, There is no abatemont of the smallpox contagion in Jersey City. The disease is pushing its way into Wayne street, where two severe cases wero re- ported yesterday. In relation to the statement published about Clark place, Mr, Hosea PF. Clark stated to a HERALD reporter yesterday that cvery vestige of the malady has disappeared from that neighborhood, He states that the cases which were ee in that locatity a few weeks ago were very gl ht ones, and that one case in the western part of the locality, about which much noise was made, was that of @ woinan who was tonoculated with the smalipox virus. Mr, Clark takes the precau- tion to visit all the houses of which he is the iand- lord twice a week, in company with his agent, and disinfecta them thoroughly, .If other landlords would {mitate this example, or if the health au- thovities would do likewise wherever the «iseaso breaks out, there would be little apprehension of the spread of the A8e.

The Political Situation in the Hoosier State. DAN VOCRHEE®’ APOLOGY The Great Democratic Sorehead’s Prospects as Seen Through a Glass Darkly. THE REVERSE OF THE PICTURE. What is Said of George W. Julian and the Liberals in “the Burned District.” The Magic Influence of the Old White Hat. CENTREVILLE, Ind., June 13, 1872, % this campaign for the possession of the White House the watchwords of the regular or adminis- tration republicans are not of the same potency and force as those that roused the country fo) Grant in 1868, and the epithets hurled at the oppo- sition are milder and much less insulting, It is felt on all sides that the present contest is more of a personal than a political feud, Whether Grant, who was elected for one term, shall enjoy two terms of the Presidency, or as many as he may desire, or whether Horace Greeley, who never took tea at the White House, shall rule the nation for four years ag a President independent of cliques and parties, is the question that disturbs the Western mind, Ap- peals to loyalty and references to our glorious bat. tle-flelds fall flat, stale and unprofitable im this cam- paign. The politician who, favoring Grant, meets the argumentg of his opponent with the declaration that “only loyal men can save the nation” gets laughed at for his zeal in the cause of the adminig- tration; while, on the other hand, the hot-headed Bourbon, bewildered by the quickly-shifting scenes on the political stage, and who frantically demands a proper recognition of “the time-honored principles of the democracy,” is regarded more in sor- row than in anger. ‘The worst that the administration men in this State say of their per- sistent and enthusiastic opponents is that they aro “soreheads.” This is a much milder and less in- sulting epithet than copperhead. The most that the enemies of General Grant venture to say is that “Grantism” is a blot on the nation and ought to be wiped out. And this, too, isquite an improvement; for when republicans worked for U. 8. Grant in the Jast campaign such terms as “nigger embracing, abolition radical,” &c., &c., were freely used by the Hoosier unterrified. The fact is THAT MATTERS POLITICAL in this State are go badly mixed at the present ma- ment that no man rightly knows where his neighbor stands, and the strong language we are accustomed to hear in @ Presidential contest Is nowhere heard. People who feel the ground moving beneath them will not stand up and jaw concerning the reason therefor; rather will they seek a footing on firmer ground, ‘ But of the inevitable exceptions to this rule the case of Daniel W. Voorhees claims particular no- tice. He,stands in a position from whence retreat is impossible, and to advance is certain poll- tical death. He is compelled to stand his ground as best he may, and if his friends wiil let him we may expect to hear his last dying speech and confession. Prominently in view of anxious republicans and expectant democrats of the Bourbon stripe, he forms a fine picture of the de- mocracy of the past. Ajax defying the lightning was, in the opinion of Mr. Voorhees’ admirers of the Sixth district, “not a clrcumstance” to him. But, notwithstanding his apparent courage, noman regrets the course he has recently taken more than, he does himself, A sorehead of soreheads, he is repudiated by recognized sorcheads of the repub- licans opposed to Grant, and ignored by democrats, who, quicker than he to hear the first rumblings of the political carthquake, ran to Mighee and gafer ground. If any doubts remained on his mind as to the feeling of the democracy of Indiana, yesterday’s proccedings must have completely removed them. ‘The action of that astute and clever politician, ex- United States Senator Thomas A. Hendricks, placea him on the outer shelf of the yawning gulf, He is NO LONGER A LEADER TN ISRAEL, and the knowledge of that fact troubles him not @ little, As 1 informed you f telegraphic despatch, he was not af the Convention that met and ad- journed yesterday, He kept his room in the Bates House, and received, as best he could, the condolence of a number of fine oid Bourbon farmers from the Wabash, who called upon him, After the adjournment of the Conven- tion I saw him in his room, and there, in the pres- ence of his butternut supporters and semi-confed- erate acquaintances, we had a curious and inter- esting conversation. Mr, Voorhees ‘labored under the dimenity of having to speak a piece for the Sixth Cengressional district, and defend himself ainst the charges of his opponents through the Herawp. In other words, he had to mind his p's and q’s before the representatives of his district, and ie the same time justify himself before the world, Surrounded on all siaes by his friends, Mr. Voorhees backed against the door of his bedroom, from which he had just Oe the and in reply to a leading question put by the HERALD representa- tive, said that he stood now where he always stood; if he was wrong now he was wrong all his life, CORRFSPONDENT—Are you satisfied, Mr. Voorhees, with the action of the Convention to-day? Mr. Voorhees looked at his friends, : DAN VOORHEES IN A CORNER, ; and then at the correspondent, smiled and pre. pared himself for a speech. Your correspondent did not want a speech, “The State nominations are very good,” he said “they could not be better, and I will give the ticke my hearty support and—— CORRESFONDENT—Of course, Mr. Voorhees, you will support your party, even if Greeley is endorsed by it at Baltimore? Mr. VoorHEES—I decline to say at present what I shall doit Horace Greeley is accepted at Baltimore. Itake back nothing, sir; I don't want to recall @ single sentence of any of my late speeches in refer- ence to the Cincinnati nominatious—not one word, ia was said more to the delegation from tha ixth than to the HERALD correspondent.) Horacad Greeley has been the lifelong toe of the democratio party; he has vilified and abused us time out of mind, And see his brutat conduct toward Prest- dent Johnson— CORRESPONDENT—Johnson didn’t like the dem- ocrats himself at one time, if Lremembor rightly? Mr. VoorarEs—Johnson was doing his best ta restore harmony and peace in the nation, and Gree- ley hounded on his persecutors, How can we democrats accept him as THE HEAD OF THR NATIONAL TICKET? . He now pretends to be in accord with democrats and to embraco their principies. Can we trusta lifelong enemy to lead our hosts to victory? (Here the assembled Hoosiers manifested belligerent un- easiness.) What do you say to that? CorREsPONDENT—I don't know what I might say ifl were not sent here to clicit and report opinion, and not to bother the public with my own. Corre- spondents of the Henan have no political opinions, Mr, VoornEks—Of course; excuse me; I under. stand, and I respect the power of the press, But, for the purpose of argument, w do you say, Mr. —, can We consistently take Greeley; now, come? CORRESPONDENT—For the purpose of a free ex- pression of opinion on your part, let us turn your juestion upside down. The democracy looked wist- fatty at Grant as their standard bearer in 186%, he being a lifelong democrat aud the most prominent, man in the party. Had he been nominated then would you have supported him? SOMETHING LIKE A HORSRLAUGH was heard from the outskirts of the crowd, and there was & pause, while Mr, Voorhees replied, without, however, giving a direct answer to the counter question, Mr. Voornzes—I see the drift of your question, and will answer it. Grant never could, and never can be, the candidate of the democracy of this coua- try for the Presidency, or any other office, And, sit, any man who says that I oppose Greeloy’s candidature in the interest of U. 8. Grant is @ calumniator and a liar! (Yells from the Hoosiers.)! I want a straight-out democratle nomination-— democrats for the democracy, now and all the time, I have been consistent all my life, and I don't mean to stultify myself now. CoRRESPONDENT—Yon Must confess though, Mr. Voorhees, that at certain stages of political life tha highest consistency is Bebe tebe The axiony is supported by pretty good authority, ue YOORRES know thit; and, indeed, Bucki says something to the same effect. But, withow denying or rming ite truth, let me say that wi Nave not arrived at any such stage yet, and I don think we ever shall, I have lived ‘and will die t the democratic faith.
