five days it will

be a month since I ceased sweating and panting under the hot sun of 1 ore Haute, am), save one day spent, in Chicago, 1 have not seen a hot day during all that month. There have been warm days, but a delightfully cool breeze from the lake ha* prevented all discomfort. The nights have all been sufficiently cool for at least one blanket. A monfh like July spent in the climate of home, gives one si full appreciation, and hearty enjoyment of this absence, of dust and heal. But speaking du-t reminds me of the

SANII 1111.1.?

of Grand Haven. In my tirst letter! spoke of these hills as either fifty or a hundred feet high, 1 believe. had then onlv seen them by early morning light, as the boat passed between them in entering the harbor. 1 have since learned that they are two or three hundred feet high. These hills are huge piles of pure white sand, made, doubtless, by the combined action of wind and water. I pon most of them there are tufts of foliage, but* generally they are entirely barren. In fact it is nearly impossible for vegetation to take root upon them, for besides the lack jf fertility, a greater obstacle lies in their ince^ant change. We were upon one of them whwi there was only a moderate breeze, and yet the sharp sand, carried by the- wind, constantly stung our faces.

The hill which we visited is about three hundred feet high, and has one side which is very steep, almost perpendicular. Here is where the fun is found. Our party consisted of a half dozen ladies and gentlemen. Attacking the sandy pile in the rear, we found quite an easy, or, at least, a possible ascent. Eeaching the brow we sat down upon the clean white sand for a rest. It began to slide from under us and let us gently down. The challenge was given to slide down the hill. As the challenge came from the young ladv, more correctly, the youngest of the young ladies of the party, of course it was accepted, and sitting as we were, we began to slide gently ly down working our way with our hands. Soon a burst of laughter louder than the many proceeding and accompanying, gave warning that something new was up And horrible to tell, one of the gentlemen, not satisfied with the slow progress made, had seized a lady by the toe of her boot and was laterally dragging her down the hill as fast as his feet could carry him. The example was contagious, and soon each gentleman of the party, had the toe of a feminine boot in his hand and was rushing headlong down the sa«dy precipice. Headlong it was litterally sometime", for not unlYeqiientlv did the momentum pitch the men sprawling and half buried in the sand.

Such a rolling, and tumbling, and sprawling, and shouting and laughing, onlv a slide down the sand hill could create Once down ami the ladies were eager for a second [tip. With hard work some succeeded in walking nearly halt way up, ami then the "liding sand prevented all farther pingre s. But genius is seldom battled, and thi time she was equal to the emergency. Down went one of the company upon "all-fours," and, sticking the fingers into the sand, worked his way up. The whole parry "on all. fours" followed the illustrious example, and presented to the villagers helow a sight not less novel than graceful. A second slide, with the ne ess:u climbing and laughing was all that anv had strength to accomplish. OtCourseall this was very undignified and improper for young ladies, grave matrons, and responsible letter writer. i!i.t if one must be ever dignified and do onlv what is "proper," what is the u^e of vocations and pleasure excursionsBesides this, there is a belter excuse, and one which covers many a real fault, not to say crime. "It is the fashion" here to slide down the sand hills and to do it in as absurd a manner as the party choose-. You will readily see that with excursions like the above, and with boat rides by day-light, bv moon-light and by star-light, with fishing and bathing, with romping with the children, and with a little easy reading and a great deal of sleeping, we man a*e to get along very "pleasantly and profitably."

MOSORILOES ASH r.UCKBKRKIK?, the one is our pet, the other our joy. Some days we have picked between forty and titty quarts of blackberries, and been bitten by at least as many quarts of mosquitoes.

In size, number, and ferocity it so far exceeds anything of the kind I ever saw, that I lirmlv believe I never saw a genuine full blooded member of the family before. 1 went blackberrying the other day, and was betrayed into a tight with a horde of these singing and biting savages, which fight is worthy to stand on the pages of history

alongside the battles of the French and Prussians. I may well confess If® W I represented the French in the contest. The mosquitoes came on singing and getting in goocMute now mod then. I fought them the test I coald while picking berries^hitting a alap'hrfe and there, and giving a general brush as' I deposited a handful of berries in the bucket. After a little I dropped the berries before getting them to the bucket, in my haste to kill the enemy. The rascals stopped singing, and all hands, or bills rather, went to biting. I, in turn, stopped picking berries and gav^'lifjFWiiblfc attention to'"piicking" off"' the mosquitoes. While I slapped, them on my face they would bite my hand While clearing the hand they covered the face. Finally, like the French though I killed more of the enemy than they did of me, yet I was compelled to retreat. 1 attempted it in good order at lirst, but at last fairly ran And it is an absolute iact that when 1 reached the house my face and hands bore testimony to my bravery, in the huge blotches which covered them, while one eye was nearly closed, and one half my mouth opened with the greatest difficulty. I have often declared that I would not care if the mosquitoes would only stop singing and bite and be done with it I think this a popular falacy and never will utter it again, if they must either sing or bite, by all means let theru con fine themselves music. 1 have seen snakes and bears, on the Plain# I *aw buffaloes, wolves and all sorts of human "cut-throats," but set me to tight any one, or all of these, rather than a flock of Michigan mosquitoes.

OUR STATE CAMPAIGN.

WASHINGTON, D. "H

August 21,1870. I

MR. EDITOR:

In political circles here

the approaching contest in your State is looked forward to with great interest in view of the fact that it is well known that the leaders of the Democratic party are making desperate efforts to gain victories in all the closely contested counties and districts and cut down Republican major ities throughout the State. It is, in a word, a struggle for life by the Democrat" ic party, and the fall campaign assumes greater magnitude and importance when it is considered that it is in fact the commencement of the great national contest of1872.

The various moves being made and the combinations formed upon the political chess board by the leaders of the opposition, all look to such end, and although tactics may differ according as localities and policy may demand, yet their organization and aims are one. It is well to bear in mind the fact that modern Democracy is the same whether marshaled under the rebel flag or parading under the "stars and stripes whether found in arms upon the battle field endeavoring to write the nation's epitaph in the blood of its noble patriots, or in the legislative halls and on the stump hypocritically appealing to the sacredness of the Constitution in justification of their attempts to cripple the efforts of the loyal people for the suppression of treason and rebellion and the perpetuation and prosperity of the nation. The same whether masked as oath-bound "Knights of the Golden Circle," or lifting up hands in holy horror denouncing Union Loyal Leagues--whether welding links in the chain of human slavery, or proclaiming the cardinal principles of Democratic faith to he identical with the liberal principles pro claimed by Jefferson and embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Whether forging naturalization papers and voting dead men or denying the elective franchise to loyal students and crippled soldieis whether depleting the national treasury in their efforts to destroy the Union, and forciug upon the country an enormous debt as the price of our national preservation, or condoling with the people on the oppressiveness of taxation and holding out gilded pledges of "reform" in husbanding the public resources.

While it is patent to all that this party remains the same, animated by the same diabolical spirit, bound together by the same corrupt ties and led by the same master spirits, it is also apparent that their party tactics have undergone no change. What they have done in the past they will not scruple to do in the future hence in the approaching campaign the same corrupt practices, the same unblushing misrepresentations, the same false assurances, will characterize their efforts to secure place and power. To meet these measures, expose these false statements, and thwart these artful schemes, our Republican friends should be fully prepared. We go into the contest with the consciousness that truth is on our side. Providence has thus far smiled upon our efforts to maintain the perpetuity and prosperity of our "Great Republic'' with its free institutions, and will continue to do so, as long as we are true to ourselves and our cause. As a party, we can point to a record which today commands the admiration of the civilized world, and of which we may feel justly proud. It is for us to complete that record in the same spirit of unanimity with which it was begun. If we fail note, we shall prove ourselves unworthy of the cause which we as a party have espoused.

Then, Republicans, our duty is plain. Ignoring everything which would have a tendency to weaken our strength, and relying upon the justice of our cause, and the intelligence of the people, let us pre* pare to meet the political enemy, defeat him at every point, and proceed in the great work which, as a paitv, we are called upon to perform.

The Russian and French Generals. Baron Von Jassmund, an old and able officer of the Prussian army, now sojourr.ing in this country, on Monday evening delivered a lecture on "The European War and its Causes at Chicago.

Speaking of the French Generals, he said that Marshal Bazaine was no doubt an able soldier, and capable of commanding a large army. He was personally brave, and a consummate srategist. General Trochu was a great organizer and engineer wether he had the ability to command a large army in the field, was yet to be proven. The moat eminent of -all tbe French commanders was Marshal Canrobert. He was an enthusiast in science, a noble man, a brave soldier- a Bayard without fear or reproach. He understood the weak points of the enemy, and the strong point of his own men and position. He was stern and immovable a terror to his officers, bnt the idol of his men. He was poor and liberal, and would divide his last crost with the poor. The sbldiers adored but the Emperor feared him «,

He is doubtless a good hetel superintendent,

and who knows every hotel, and every hotel man, intimately, from Maine to California, from the St. Lawrence to the Gulf, to eiuploy the comprehensive lan

guage of our grandiloquent Fourth of July orators, was at the hotel above alluded to. The gorgeous Superintendent was behind the deSk in all his. unapproachableuess. Harry asked him for some particle of information regarding the arrival or departure of a train, it don't matter which, but received no answer, the glance of the Superintendent passing hjgh over his head, eontemplat ing the elaborately carved capital of a pillar.

The question was repeated, "nearer, clearer, deadlier than before," and yet the luxurious monarch of the grand hotel could neither see nor hear the questioner.

Drawing half a dollar from his vest pocket, and laying it downin front of the Superintendent, Harry said: "I wish you would bring my trunk down- stairs, and •do it right away." "Sir!" cried the ex-porler to Harry, (lie importer, as he colored with rage, "What do you mean by such language to me?" "Ain't you one of the porters?" asked Peeples, in feigned surprise. "You used to be, I know. Have you been promoted?"

The gorgeous captain of the clerks gave a growl, and incontinently disappeared but Peeples had had his revenge.—C'in Times.

Of the lYussi-ih commanders, all were men of three score and ten, except the Princes, but were still active in mind and body. General Moltke was a marvel of tactics, and possessed extraordinary to pographical knowledge. Without know ing the designs of the enemy, he could forestall his movements. He was a great military student, and a wonderful organizer of strategical movements. The Crown Prince had proved himself a great soldier, but war was not to his taste. He preferred a quiet life, in the pursuits of science. He had been most fortunate in his campaigns, due, no doubt, to The strict adherence to the plans and instructions of his old tutor, Baron Von Moltke. In his movements he was cautions, without being timid. His plans of battles were remarkably clear, and evinced rapid and deep study. l'i inee Frederick Charles was a military em husiast, who lov^d his soldiers as his children. He was a consummate strategist, had a clear in tellect, and was capable of grasping the situation at an instant. If he overtasked his soldiers now and then it was only in cases ot great emergenci.es. His movements were always bold and novel, and proved him a perfect genius at strategy. His soldiers adored him, and would follow him to the death.

Events have shown that Germany, not France, is the pre-eminent martial Nation of Europe. While she has not frittered away her energies in Quixotic conflicts, she has not suffered the military training of her children to be neglected. She has not sought like France, distant fields for near home and the,^^ conquest oft hese training grounds the display of her prowess butalthohugher soldiers have fought neither in Crimea, in Italy, in Algiers, nor in Mexs ico, they have found training grounds has furnished additional elements of strength in the present conflict. Besides, the old Spartan system of making every citizen a soldier has beeu rigidly mantained,' and, without imposing heavier financial Curdens than other great Powers, complete arrangements have been' perfected for placing every able-bodied man in the Nation under arms at a moment's notice.

HAS recently been said that'Victoria's retirement to Balmoral, in the midst of the excitement occasioned by the war in France, has caused a deep feeling of indignation in England, and that a Regency with the Prince of Wales at its head, lias been proposed in influential private circles. Our British cousins, after fighting for centuries to make political nonentities of their sovereigns, and to take from them every semblance of power except the right to determine what prominent partisan leader shall attempt to form a neTv Cabinet when Ministerial changes becomes necessary, find that in some contingencies a national leader whose authority commands universal respect, may still prove useful.
