SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Taper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS, ^.

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

OUTSIDE the political papers, which are industriously saving the country, the reading matter of the monthlies and weeklies, is skillfully adapted just now to the atmospheric influences. There is a mystery about this relationship, and still every reader's own experience assures him it is no mystery either. Summer reading must ever be amusing, trivial, gossamerish. Nobody studies now, and the reader must have something cool and breezy. Waifs of verses, idle dream stories, humorous sketches that raise no more than a languid smile, more mention of topics that in cooler times would provoke discussion, pictures, carricatures —these are the bulk and burden of the publishers work for the season, and such will be found in Tho Saturday Evening Mail.

THE New York Advocate speaks of the changes that have taken place in the camp meotings of this country Originally they were a focus of religious fire, but now assume the character of a gigantic speculation in real estate, with the accessories of the water ing places, exchanging "hops" and horse races, for preaching, boating and games of croquet.

SUFFERERS from consumption, and invalids afflicted with impoverished blood, believe themselvos greatly ben pflted by drinking the warm blood of animals immediately after slaughter. In Paris overy drop of blood is sold as soon as the animal is killed, for this purpose, and the slaughter-houses in its vicinity are daily visited by titled and wealthy invalids, who are said to be most adept blood drinkers.

ILLINOIS is not a compound of Indian and French, but a Canadian French attempt to express t^e word Illiniwek, whioh in Algonquin is a verbal form "We are men." The wek gradually cot written ois, pronounced way, or nearly so. We say Illy-nov but the French said: Illeen-way, and the Indians II-leen-week. '^_^n

JAVREZ, the Mexican Posident, died of apoplexy, on the night of the 18th Inst. Lerdo De Tejado, who succeeds him, is regarded as a sympathizer with the revolutionists, and the death of Jaurei will probably result in a general revolution in that unfortunato country.

TIIE death warrants read to culprits on the gallows in New Jersey cover cloven pages, and the performance usually takes placo in the hottest part of the day. As the sheriffs have to "spell out" all the hard words, the operation is rather tedious to the gentleman waiting to be hanged.

IT don't make much difference in New York whether you murder a man or only accidentally see it done. They pat yoa In the jug all the same. The men who saw Fisk shot are still in, but they hope to get out on baii before Stokes is hung.

THE great national camp meeting, under the auspices of the National association for the promotion of holiness, will hold their next meeting at Urbana, commencing Aug. 8, and continuing ten days.

TITK new liquor law has reduced the number of saloons in IllinoU fully onehalf.

Tni? way to keep perpetually hot is to fan furiously. Tho coolest part of the house is that part which has not been baked, under the mistaken idea that every cranny should be wide open "to let in the fresh air."—Exchange.

The abovo is sound dog-day sen'se. There are two conditions connected with hot weather, one which men ap preciate and the other of which the women understand.

Men do not, as a rule, use the fan. Now and then a man who has nothing to do buttry to keep cool, stirs the hot breeze by use of a fan, and at tho same time increases the heat of his body lour-lold by the exercise of fanning. But men do not fan themselves, because they know the effort in fanning more than counteracts all the relief gained by setting tho hot air in motion.

Men, lioweVfer do throw open doors nnd windows to lot in the hot air, while women understand that the way to keep a houso cool is to shut out the hot air by closing the windows and blinds and by closing the floors. In houses, too elegant fco permit of outside blinds, it is true the sun upon such windows makes a furnace heat inside that even close inside shutters will not remedy but where there are blinds outside to prevent the sun's raj's striking tho glass, and the win dows are kept shut, the rooms will be oool, and, being darkened, will be free from flies.

SHAD IN THE WABASH.—A few weeks since thirty thousand young Bhad were deposited in the upper waters of the Wabash. They were hatched in the Hudson river, below Albany, and were in excellent condition when dropped into the river, to go just where no one can possibly say. The deposit was made under direction of the United States Commissioned?, and is anexperment to stook the tribularies of tho Mississipl, of which the Wabas his one. Tho expense of this attempt will be defrayed by the Federal Government. If these shad follow the instinct that seems to guide them in other waters they will descend the abash to the Ohio, thence to the Mississipi, and when three years of age will ascend tho rivers to the placo where they were set at liberty, and find points where they reproduce their kind in accordance with the natural lawa that govern their species.

MUKFBT the murderer,is under sentence to be hanged in New \ork city, next Friday. This day is to be, truly, one belonging to the hangman. Bsside Murphy, three convicted murderers will be hanged in Tennesse.

TERFE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL. JDLY 27. 1872.

THE LAUGH ING MAN. There are two extreme varieties of men, those who never laugh and those who are perpetually laughing, and of the two we prefer the former. Man was not intended to be either an owl or a laughing hyena, yet there are many who carry the semblance ot one or the other all their lives. Solemn men there are,men ofgrave and sober visnge who look as if they had been born before laughing was invented, and were either incapable of getting up a laugh or scorned a weakness unknown wheu they came into the world. The keenest joke, the wittiest retort, falls with an unmeaning sound upon their ear, and they are never betrayed into a smile by objects and situations ludicrous in the extreme to other eyes. Then there is a man who is always laughing—laughs when he talks, laughs when he listens (which is not often,) laughs when he eats, when he drinks yes, and is often known to laugh in his sleep. He tires you with so much laughing, if forced to be in his company, and it is no easy task to get rid of him, when he is once fastened on. You can walk away from the man who never laughs, but the laughing man is a bore, who positively refuses to be "shook." Plead business and he laughs, a pressing engagement and he laughs again—nay, become offended, and insist on going and he will roar with merriment, as he tells a stale joke or relates some idle gossip. You can't affront him, he will only laugh at the attempt.

Your laughing man is not always a funny man, although- he thinks he is, which makes it very bad. He has not even the sense to make a good selection oi the wit he steals. He tolls stale stories, making himself the hero of them, and, although he is the only one to laugh at them, this does not disconcert him in the least. He invents now Stories that have neither pith nor point, and laughs uproariously at them. His most ordinary remarks regarding the weather or the state of his health are delivered with a grin, and we doubt whether he coald announce the death of his mother-in-law without a guffaw.

We like laughter and mirth the laughter that is born of a light heart, ready when occasion calls free,hearty, spontaneous laughter evoked, not forced, from the depths, and not frittering in perpetual play upon the surface. The mirth of childhood is most agreeable, as it is most natural, and we have rarely looked upon such sweet sunshine as we have seen light up the wrinkles of age when tho heart is merry and glad, but with this perpetual laugher, and his unending, grin we have no patience. Rather let us have for our companion the grave man, the owlish man, "tho man that never laughs."

LETTER FROM CONNECTICUT.

Yale College— Gratz Brown—Politics.

CONNECTICUT, July, 1S72.

For a'weok we have been knocking about in the land of steady habi ts. Have not seen a witch burned or Quaker hung yet. This is just my luck. These things are done here constantly, but I have always btea too early or too late to see the fun. I hay a seen lots of common people burned here, but no witches. The weather is fearfully hot. I have seen a good many hung, but no "broad brims." It is said that in New Haven some five thousand hung—on the lips of the eloquent Governor Brown of Missouri, r.

We reached New Haven on tfie Evening of Commencement day at old Yale The hundred and thirty young gentlemen, who for one brief year, had held that loftiest and most envied of all positions of earthly sublimity, Seniors at College, had. already taken the fatal plunge from their lofty heights. In their pockets were "sheep-skins" all written over with Latiu, of which m'any of them were as innocent as the sheep to whom the skia belonged, and they were not and henceforth could not be anything but "alumni." This is a position far inferior to that of "F'reahmen"—inferior to that of "Sub-Fresh men," for "Freshmen" and "Sub" may one day be "Seniors," but alumni can never attain that again.

Among theso young men, and occupying a position in the first ranks in reference to scholarship, is a TerreHauto boy. James Oakey has attained the proud preeminence of a graduate of Yale College, and during his course has sustained the highest hopes of his friends, and tho expectation of his as sociates and acquaintances at home.

Though we were too late for commencement, we were in time for the grand serenade given

B. GRATZ BROWN.

Said Brow.n graduated at Yale in the the class of 1S47, and came on to attend a regular meeting of his class, and do a few odd jobs of political work. Ho was not successful in some of these latter operations. He needed here a clear head and pure breath, but the truth is, he got intoxicated, and this, with the fumes of whisky which he breathed about him cost him some votes to my knowledge. At the Alumni dinner he attempted to make capital with Germans by criticising the course of instruction purstffed at Yale,in comparison with that pursued in some Western institutions which as he, broadly hinted, draw their inspiration from Germany President Porter took the wind out of his sails and turned the laugh upon him by saying, as he sat down, that during the twenty-five years since Brown had been at Yale, she had probably made some progress, and if the gentleman should have no other engagements next spring, they would place him on the Examining Committee,and then he would be better able to judge. The sly dig about his engagements next spring took wonderfully. The fact is, Brown made a failure of it here. He was received with tremendous enthusiasm, but that was the end of tho enthusiasm. Yale i* a bad place for an intoxicated man to make capit a 1 7

The serenade at the New Haven House was a success so far as attendance was concerned. There was a great crowd present. The speech has been in the papers.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION,

so far as I can judge, seems aboul the same as at home. I have seen no Republicans who are for Greedy. The Republicans declare that there are none. The Democrats say there are lots of them. They give the names of some, and declare that there are a great many who will secretly vote for Greeley. It certainly is not pleasant for an old-time Republican to be suspected of Liberalism here.

The great bulk of the Democratic party are for tho Baltimore nominees. I have seen little enthusiasm, but most of them say promptly that they are for Greeley. I am staying in the house of a Democratic friend, and he says they have been out in the cold so long that they are ready to accept anything. These were his words. While the party generally accepts the decision made at Baltimore, there are some who declare that they cannot and will not "eat crow." My impression is that a good many of the rank and file of tho party will not voto at all. I see no evidence that any Democrats will vote for Grant rather than Greeley. They evidently do not think there is enough difference between the evils to justify a choice. I write of the political situation as it appears to me after a week's observation. WANDERER.

LETTER FROM WISCONSIN.

The Country to the North of us.

MADISON, Wis., July 20,1872.

EDITOR SATURDAY EVENING MAIL The receipt of a copy of The Mail, tlie next best thing to a letter from home, suggested that a few notes in regard to this northern region might be acceptable to your readers. Up north I must be as I observe it is not fully dark until about 9 o'clock. Fortune placed me in this beautiful spot a week since, and alter a full survey of it from all points, I can at least say that for beauty of situation, Madison excels any place known to me. It is built as most must know, on "a narrow neck of land twixt too"—not unbounded seas, but lovely lakes, linked with other smaller two. Not only these famous lovely blue lakes in their emerald setting contribute a beaut} that few cities or villages enjoy, but there is a diversity of landscape in the site of the city and the surrounding country that would of itself constitute an uncommonly beautiful location. It is not of the grand or even the picturesque type, but rather of a subdued character, gentle and peaceful in its influence. Here from capitol square gentle slopes through shaded streets give glimpses of the blue waters of Lake Mendota on the east A desoent through a lovely dale filled with cottages and mansions all embowerod in tioes and flowers, and up on to a high ridge beyond brings one suddenly to a full view of the largest lake—Mendota—to the northwest. A diagonal street to tho west brings one at a distance of a m\le to the State University, crowning a hill that overlooks the city and lake—a regal site indeed The Capitol building, an edifice creditable to the State, stands on tho highest ground in the city, and from its dome can be had a grand view of the whole region. It is in the midst of a park of twelve acres, thickly set with trees. Its numerous shady walks afford a pleasant convenience to all crossing to the opposite side, and its shaded grass is a resort for picnickers from a distance. I have observed that our entensive court house square at home is regarded as so sacred that its gates are kept locked against all intrudors.

The Historical rooms in the Capitol are well worthy of a visit. They contain some 53.000 volumes, many portraits and busts of distinguished men, Indian relics, curiosities, flags of union ragiments, &c., in tho charge of D. S. Durrie, Esq., a courteous gentleman who has held the place for seventeen years. Seeing a bust by Vinnie Ream, I learned that this was her home before going to Washington.

Madison is a city of about, ten thousand population, and is better built in the way of business houses than its trade would seem to justify. However, its retail trade is probably good. The better class of these blocks, as well as the churches and many dwellings are built of yellow sandstone, quarried herfe, some of which is somewhat too dingy and rough but the lighter shades look well. This material together with the cream colored Milwaukee brick which are almost exclusively used, give the place an elegant appearance. The Post Office, with the United States Court rooms, built by the government at a cost ot over 9300,000 is a fine and substantial building The Park Hotel is a credit to the place. Not very extensive and with moderate architectural pretensions, it is handsomely finished within, elegantly furnished and excellently kept. If Terre-Haute had such a one, I have no doubt that its patronage would bo a larger on an average than this here at the Capital.

As to newspapers, the "Wisconsin State Journal," Republican, is the leading daily and weekly. It and the "Domocrat" are both evening papers. Neither of them publish so full dispatches as the Terre-Haute Express, nor have they the lively personals and news items of tho Major. But the Journal is a staunch Republican paper, well edited and high toned.

But there is no Saturday Evening Mail here! There are no news-boys here, and can it be a city without them? While there is so much of beauty and interest here, the loyal Terre-Hautean must observe things that are lacking. Resides news-boys they lack a grand Opera House like ours. They lack the coal that is enriching our State, and they lack the prospect of being a great manufacturing center, and of being the the recipient of vast wealth. Nevertheless, the quiet disposition could well content himself here, breathing as he would, air uncontaminated by coal dnst or malaria, drinking in beauty at every turn, dsubtleas enjoying good society and not so far off from the great world as to be deprived of a daily knowledge of its sensations.

Much more might be said, but this letter I fear is already too long. F.

TWO INTERESTING LETTERS.

Richfield Springs and Trenton Falls.

RICBTIELD SPRINGS, July 17.

FBIBND WEHTTFALL :—I partly promised you a lew words from Cooperstown, my native town. I left home quite suddenly— a week before my appointed time—being summoned by a telegram t« attend the sick bed of an elder brother. I arrived four days after his decease, and was only permitted with friends and village pastor, to unite in taking his remains from the vault and placing them in the silent grave in Lake Wood Cemetery, one of the most beautiful and romantically located of any in our land. The day was very warm, but pleasant, and the short

snwinmw

ceremony very appropriate and affecting. So has passed away a truly kind brother, who was, during all my boyhood, my cheering playfellow. At the last his mind rested on God and His Son, the Saviour of those who believe lion Him.

During the time I spent in my native village it has been warm, but qnite often has the atmosphere and temperaturo been moistened and modified by showers, accompanied by sharp lightning and thunder. All the hills and valleys are luxuriantly green, and tho crops of every kind large, beyond almost any other year. The dairies and. hay crop will be so Jlarge as to cause prices to rule low. Cooperstown has become a place of general resort during the warm months, for many Albanians, New Yorkers and residents of other cities, to enjoy there the pure and invigorating atmosphere of lake and mountain, and the healthful exercise of boat-rides, fishing and carriagerides over roads most delightful. „j.

A sad misfortune in the burning of the steamer "Natty Bumps," at the wharf a few nights ago, will lessen somowhat the means of the charming, lake excuisions this season. But there is one little steamer, capable of carrying fifty passengers, and a hundred, splendid row and sail boats loft, so there will be no abatement of lake party picnics, to the three mile and five' mile points on tho lake. I have boon favored during the last week with tho company of my good neighbors and friends Messrs.Jas. Ross and M. W.Williams, and also of Geo. H. Knowlton, •. of Albany, son in law of Jas. Ross, Esq.While there we eiyoyed somo good carriage rides, fishing excursions on tho lako, and a visit to Leather-Stocking Cave, and other places of historic interest. It was a feast of pleasure for. me to show them around and take them to the former localities of the Cooper family, to the spot where Judge, Wm. Cooper—father of James Fenui—., more—built his truly palatial mansion to the brick cottage, where now rosldo two maiden daughters and a widowed^, dahghter of J.Fennimore,the cemetery,, where friends of ths novelist havo erect-, ed a eostl yand imposing marble monumont to his memory and fame. Also-, to the spot whore General Clinton, In Revolutionary times built a dam acrosstho mouth of the Susquehanna rivor— the outlet of Lake "Glimmer Gloss," thereby raising the lake four to sixfeet, for tho purpose of floating his troops down the river to a|certain point where he could disembark and fights the British and Indians. It was a successful expedition. Yesterday morning, I, with the three before mentioned, took the littlo steamer "I3odon," and steamed pleasantly to the head ot the Lako (9 milos) and then took a coach for these now colebrated and largely visited Richfield Springs. About two thousand guests aro now here and they comprise some oi the-,, most wealthy and substantial Aimilies of our largo cities. The accommodations here in large and well ordered hotels and private boarding houses, is but little excelled at Saratoga. Tho large and beautiful "Schuyler Lako." only one mile from the hotels,!s a great, attraction, and is resorted to daily for boat rides and fishing. Omnlbussos,/ carry the guests down for ten cents. But the waters of Richfield in medicinal virtues are greatly superior to those, of Saratoga. A trial of forty years, a most rigid analysis of the water confirms the statement I have made. My friend Mr. James Ross and his son-in-law Mr. Knowlton, both sotaaewhat out' of health, will in a flew days confirm also my statement, if I may judge by their breakfast this morning, after two or threo baths and copious drinking of the water. In a few days they (Ross and Knowlton) will take cars for Albany, and Williams and myself for tho pure air of the North Woods, via Trenton Falls.

Yours,

:i!#- 1." ,( TRENTON FALLS, N. Y. July 19. I sent you a few lines from Richfield Springs, and now I have a lew*moro words to add, touching the interests of that place, and our enjoyments while there. When I say "ours," I inolude my threo friends—Ross, Wlllams and'Knowlton, mentioned in the former communication. And I want to premise a little lurther before I proceed. It is surely somewhat marvelous, and profoundly singular, that some men, and women too, of Terre-Haute will go to Martin county springs, or rush along to a Boston Whangbang "Jubilee," or to^the sea shore,enly to see a few porpoises bobbing their black heads out ot the water, when for less money they might stop off at Utlca, and in two hours roach Richfield Springs,where medicinal waters combined with pure air, hill scenery, carriage rides and boating on the healthful Schnyler Lake contribute more to the restoration to sound health, and to pure recreation, than any sea shore on the Atlantic, or artillery concert of music in Boston. Far be it from me however, to rcflcct npon tbow who, having nover travelei so far out of their way as to find that most charming and healthful of localities, aro yet ignorant of tho, ^enjoyments and benefits to be derived there. The Hotels and private accommodations are of a kind to compare equally with Saratoga. Our stay at the Central Hotel was but three dayscharges but three dollars a day. A better table, nicer rooms and beds, and other advantages of Parlor and good music is rarely found.

We left there this morn in* at 9.3a on splendid cars, and a

splendid

rail-

road, and arrivod here at 2 P. And now how shall I describe these Trenton Falls,

only

10 miles from Lti-

ca, and the great New York Central Railroad where thousands are rushing past to tho "sea" and across the greav ocean, to got a sight of objects in natira, far less sublime aud interesting to $'
