AGAIN the fervid heat is upon us, and with an intensity rivaling the fiercely hot daya of the past June and July. Our trials, then, under the burning rays of the sun may render ns less vulnerable to their ill effects now. But it is nonetheless unpleasant to contemplate an August very warm aa were the two preceding months. Now as then, we would say to the readers of The Mail take the matter philosophically While it is a physical impossibility to keep cool with the thermometer among the nineties it is quite easy to refrain from worrying about the weather, and an equable temper goes very far in smoothing down the inconveniences which beset us all, more or less, in our paths through life. The rules of health to be observed in extreme hot weather are few and simple—a light diet, as little ice water as possible, of the beverages which inebriate none at all, and regular hours. All this, of course, applies to those in the enjoyment of ro bust health the very young, the weak and the ailing need more tender care, more considerate treatment in t^ese hot days and sultry nights, and may they have willing hands to.minister to them. jfi

AMONG the uses of timber in this country, which causes great waste, is its employment as railroad sleepers and ties, the number of which is immense, the annual expenditure very great, and the necessity of renewal frequent. The waste upon forests by this single necessity is very great, and unless some other means of supplying those articles are soon discovered there will cease to be the means of furnishing what is needed, simply by reason of the destruction of the material. The replacement of wooden sleepers with iron or

some

other material seems

to be a necessity. The Philadelphia Enquirer states that in Enrope, where timber is not as plenty as it has been in this country, and where economy in all things Is necessary to be studied,the use of wrought iron for such purposes has been recommended and partially adopted. In Belgium this method of meeting the difficulty has bten much approved, and engineers believe that they have discovered the much needed method of meeting the difficulty. To sueh a conclusion we will be compelled to come to in this country sooner or later.

A POLITICAL campaign, says Table Talk of the Louisville Commercial, always brings to the surface some of the natural convictions of men. One ol these convictions, always brought out in the most prominent manner, is that of the evil of drinking. Men do a great many things which they know to be radically wrong, and whisky-drink-ing is one of them. Political speakers invariably charge the candidates of the opposite party with drunkenness as one of the greatest objections to their election, which simply shows their conviction that it is wrong and that evils will result from it, if the candidate is elected, and yet, strange to say, these very men bathe their brains in whisky, and many of them speak under its guidance. Through it all', however, they have sense enough to know that they are wronging themselves, which only aggravates their own sin. A political campaign is a huge temperance lecture of itaelf. ,, jjF

THK Uumber of women employed as teachers in the public schools of the United States is moro than double the number of male teachers. The report of the Commissioners of Education for 1870 reveals this fact. Taking different States, the proportion is still larger. In Maasachuseetta, for instance, the women are to the men as seven to one in New Hampshire as five to one in Maine as four to one in Connecticut as five to one in New York and Michigan as three to one. We regard this aa conclusive proof that the efficiency and bealthftil influence of women as instructors and guides for the young is beooming more deeply appreciable.

THKRB is a strong Indication now that strikes will not occur in this country so frequently. The workmen who have allowed themselves to be detained from their work at a word from the manager* of the Unions to which they belong, are beginning to discover that each a course doea not improve their condition. One of lb* moat favorable signs that these workmen will hereafter be governed by common sense, is the formation in many cities of co-op-erative societies. One of these organisations, known as Jthe "Co-operative Workingmen's Society,"has been formed at Bloemington, Illinois, with a eap•Mtl of 98,000.

These, to whom we allude, would not for the world knowingly inflict pain upon a child, and yet they ignorantly make it suffer agony. They are careful of the delicate little body, nursing and nurturing it with the utmoat tenderness, covering it with the warmest and softest clothing, pampering it with sweets and shielding it from every rude touch. No labor, time or expense is spared in rearing the corporeal frame and guarding it from the least hurt or injury.

With all this diligenceof attention and unequivocal proof of tenderneaa, there is often a total disregard of the child's feelings. The little charge is not to be considered exclusively as a vegetative being—merely a delicate plant to be grown. Provided it be kept well watered with mother's milk, or enriched with pap, neatly trimmed, warmed with the sunshine of maternal affection, and secure from all rudeness of a material kind, it is expected to mature to full bloom of flower or freshness of fruit.

The child, however, is not merely a vegetative being, but the most sensitive little animal possible, and if its true nature in this respect be disregarded much misery must ensue. The youngest infant is endowed with an exceedingly acute sensibility to mental impressions. Who has not seen a jealous baby that could not pronounce a single word, and yet it showed unmistakably, by its pale face and fiery little eyes, that it was jealous of another little nurseling fed at the same bj-east. The wasting away, frequently among children, is supposed by good medical authorities not seldom to be owing to the effect of a jealousy awakened by the ill-concealed partiality of parents.

The sense of ridicule is excessively acute with children, who can generally better bear to be whipped than laughed at. It is astonishing how ruthlessly parents and teachers will provoke this sensibility and thus torture childhood and youth. A slight natural defect, perhaps no more serious than some irregularity of the shape, of the nose or color of the hair, is caught at and thrust into the child's daily consciousness by his thoughtless but cruel persecutors. His life is thus often rendered miserable, and darkened with a gloom of which the shadow will extend to the end of his days. Nicknames fastened upon a youth, or some objectionable peculiarity of dress noticed and ridiculed, will often be sufficient to embitter his whole existence.

Parents, teachers and others, who have control of the young, have the notion that this over acute sensibility is to be laughed away. They accordingly take every occasion to provojte and jeet at it. This is as absurd \as it is cruel. Do they suppose that by exercise they can weaken or eradicate a perverted instinct Are they to get rid of it by fixing it into a habit The natural sensibility of youth should not be irritated to a vice but strengthened to a virtue, of which it is the germ that under proper cultivation, will develop into delicacy of sentiment.

AN exchange has been examining the names of the Presidents of the United States and those of some of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates, and finds some curious alphabetical coincidences. For instance, of the eighteen Presidents th« names of nine of them end with the letter N, viz: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Buchanan, Lincoln and Johnson. A atill more striking fact is that the name of every President who has ever been reelected except Monroe, ended in "on," via: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and Lincoln. The "on" occurs in Monroe's name, although not the terminal. The namea of three of the candidates for President and Vice President in 1860 end with N. They are Lincoln, Hamlin and Johnson—the latter of which ran lor Vice President on the ticket with Douglas. The names of the four candidates for President and Vice President in 1864 end with the letter N. They are Lincoln and Johnson, McClellan and Pendleton. In the present contest the names of both the candidates for Vice PresidentBrown and Wilson—end with the letter N while the names of the candidates for President—Greeley and Grant— both begin with Gr—as does also the middle name of the Liberal .Republican candidate for Vioe President.

UICBOLTKD bread and water is not an attractive diet for the majority of the human race. Americana and Englishmen, at least, are not addicted to it but here comes Dr. Bourne, who walked reoently from Portland, Oregon, to San Francisco, a distance of 800 milea in 302 hours of actual walking, and consumed but 40 pound* of unbolted bread and crackers, with a sprinkling of fruit and cold water, daring the entere trip, losing but five pounds of flesh. This is undoubtedly a good argument in flavor of the unbolted article, but we would not like, to undertake the trip ourselves without a basis of beehteak.

CHILDREN'S FEELINGS. To be deliberately cruel to children is to be the most monstrous of all human monaters. It is creditable to our race that men and women so inclined are rare, and when they show themselves are overwhelmed with public indignation. Though the couscious torturers of childhood are few, the unconscious cnes are by no means scarce.

AMERICAN green corn is sent during the season in quantities to Liverpool by Atlantic steamers.

IT strikes us that there is an unusually large number of aeddenta occuring to railroad circuses and ahowa this summer. Is all this done for advertising effect.

TEXAS is a happy State. She is in ignorance of the precise amount her debt. The Comptroller of the State says it cannot even be estimated with any degree of accuracy.

CHICAGO had a "Black Friday" on Tuesday last, when the moet powerful speculative combination ever organised in the grain marketa of thia country, dropped to pieces like a rope of sand, and the price of wheat tumbled from $1,61 to $1.11 per bushel. ^I—i

THE New York Post prophesies that the fall trade will be very late. The indications here do not point that way. The crops are very abundant, money is beooming plentier, and the prospects are better for a heavy fell trade than they have been for two years,

SINCE the early daya of California, when the restless miner forsook paying claims to go ofl in search of better diggings, there has never been larger gold returns, made from supposed •'worked out" localities, in, the.State 'f than at the present time.

THE Gieenville, Tennessee, scandal, which unpleasantly connected the names of Andrew Johnson and Mrs. Harold, causing the suicide of the latter, has gone into the courts on a suit for libel, in which $10,000 damages are claimed.

THK whereabouts of the famous Siammese twins, Chang and Eng, may be interesting, particularly aa they have been reported dead, dissevered, and almost everything else possible, within the past year. They are living in the western part of North Carolina, and one is dangerously ill.

KATE FIELD says human nature is excessively frail, particularly when it goes to Paris. There all its weakness breaks out, and, like the measlee, comes to the surface. She thinks that many saints would be full-grown sinners if they only h&d the opportunity that Paris affords for developing thei4 latent capacities.

IT appears that those big trees at Mariposa and Calaveras are not the best that California can produce'. They have found one at Visalia forty feet in diameter with the bark off, and the bark had six feet of thickness. It is strange that these tender saplings have been overlooked so long. We presume the town of Visalia consists of a narrow belt of land around the tree.

M. THIERS has made a mot. Speak of the'dangers which threaten France, he has said: "There are thiee dan"gers, and three only— radicalism

Bonapartism, and my death. The first I do not think very menacing "the second requires to be watched over carefully and as for the third, there, is no question of it." In the President's opinion, therefore, Bonapartism may again be in the ascendant.

HEREAFTER, instead of using the Upas Tree as a simile, public speakers and writers should use the name Hippomane Manzanhill, that being the latest discovery in the way of poison trees. It grows in tropical America, and if a v*?ed traveler stops to rest a moment under its inviting shade he drops down dead. This is better that the old Upas aa a figure. How original and fresh it will be to say: "Intemperance, that Hippomane ManKanhill, which distills its poison through the land."

Ex-PRESIDENT MIBAMON of Mexico was shot by order of President Jaurlfc, and now the latter lies in the cemetery where the body oi the former rests. It is worth noticing, says the New York Times, "that Jaures, who had doomed. so many men to sudden death, died at last almost as suddenas though he had been shot by a vindictive bullet. Maximilian, the brilliant, reckless Miramon Vidawon, the ablest Mexican General of the present generation, and Mejia, the grim Indian, who remained faithful to the Emperor when men of better reputation betrayed him, were only a few of the victims whose death warrants Janrez signed. Whatever may be said in favor of Jaurez, however much bis energy, patriotism, and indomitable courage pill be praised, be waa certainly as merciless aa the most vindictive ^Indian of the plains. His successor is evidently a very different sort of man, for his first act haa been to grant an amnesty to all bnt two of the adherenta of the fallen Empire.

AN exchange says: "Some of our farmers have painted their names upon boards in front of their residences." The idea is good. In larger towns nesrly every householder haa hia name upon the door. Why ahouldnot the system extend to the country."

Few people know, snd thousands do not know, that by aitting a glass fruit jar on a folded towel, thoroughly soaked in cold water, the fruit can be poured in boiling hot, with no more danger of breaking than with a tin can. Cut Una out and paate In your cupboau^.

FROM A SUMMER TOURIST.

N NTCCKET, August 16,18T2.

Editor of The Saturday Evening Mail Several weeks have passed since my last letter to The Mail, devote! principally to finishing up the Jubilee. After that, we turned our attention to some of the places of Interest in the vicinity of Boston. We visited Salem, famous for witchcraft and witches. It ia a neat and tastefied city, of about twenty-two thousand inhabitants streets broad and handsomely shaded, haa the appearance of great antiquity like some old EngUah town, built in old antique style many of the hoasea two hundred yeara old or more, with Occasionally some splendid modern mansions. The population is kept up more by capitalists and retired business men settling there, than by any buainess advantages. It baa a large muaeum of oceanic curiosities and wonders: and one of the largest and most beautiful collection of butterflies, birds and insects, to be found any where placed there by Agassis. We saw the rocky ledge where the witches were cast down, and other places of auperatitlous cruelty. How atangely the imagination is quickened in the presence of such localities. One can almost fancy that the scenes he is contemplating are being then and there enacted. We next visited the Peabody Institute, in the town of Peabody. It is a fine, imposing structure, with a large library, and a capacious hall for literary, scientific and popular lectures. The library contains the splendid likeness of Queen Victoria, set in A frame o^solid gold worth fifty thousand dollars presented by her to Mr. Peabody, for his liberal charities to the the poor of London and in the halthangs a full life-Bize portrait of Mr. Peabody.

Having done up Swampscott, Nahant, Marblehead, fcc., all plaoes of singular grandeur and beauty, and enjoyed the sublimity, and invigorating breezes of old Ocean for six weeks, we went to Boston and put in two weeks of earnest enjoyment there. Aftdr Mifos Kellogg bad finished up her musio term, by request she met a circle of professional musicians amateurs and critics, and sang a few choioe selections a notice of which you will find in the Boston Journal, which I send you with this. She haa certainly improved greatly under the inatruction she has received.

The Boston common is a splendid promenade visited by thousands every day,and enlivened two eveningaa week with fine concerts by Gilmore's Band attended by immense crowds. The great object of interest on the common istheoldelm tree, which was venerble with age in 1630, and is now going to decay. Ita trunk is girded with iron banda, and covered with canvass its branches broken and gone. Majestic old tree who shall write its history? The publtc flower garden is a gem, beautifully laid out, adorned with statuary and the flowers exquiaite. Mount Auburn and Forest Hill cemeteries are magnifloient almost inviting. As you go through the wslks and .among the flowers, read the incriptions and see the beautiful adornments about the monuments and tombs death and the grave seem divested of all terror and gloom. Now we ascend the Bunker Hill Monument, by a flight of 296 steps to the height of 221 feet. It is a laborous effort, but the view well repays us. Then through the Navy Yard a large enclosure of about sixty acres, containing large ship houses, timber sbeds, foundries, machine shops, and the largest and most perfect rope walk in the world, 1350 feet long, where is manufactured all the cordage used in the United States Navy then to the old Fanuel Hall to see the great painting of Webater, full size and life-like with one hundred and ten likenesses of other great men grouped around him. How thrilling the emotions, inspired by the place and aurroundings. One can fancy the spirits of the revolutionary worthies hovering around, and almost hear the matchless eloquence.of the nation's great orators,-that has resounded here in thunder tones, in behalf of freedom and christian philanthropy.

The old Copps Hill burying ground is a place of peculiar interest. It takes yon back to the days of the pilgrims and colonial times for most of all who He there, lived and died before the revolution. It has been abandoned as a place of burial for nearly a century. The grave-stones were imported from England, and embelished with curiouB devices. Many of them have nearly crumbled dust. They contain some qusint incriptions, fewof which can be read: "C«pt. Thomas Lake was killed by the Indians," 1676. "Deaoon Drown built the Grasshopper (vane) on Fanuel Hall, died in 1720, age 90." Daniel Malcom died in 1769. This head-stone was used by the British ss a target, and shows several indentationa made by their bullets. Here is alao the tomb of the renowned Increase snd Cotton Mather, one died in 1723, aged 84, the other In 1727, aged 65 near the tomb atands a large willow tree, brought from the prave of Napoleon, at St. Helena, by a sea Captain, and planted here.

We are now at Nantucket, one hundred and ten miles from Boston. It Is on the Island of Nantucket, aboat forty miles fro as tho main land, and la without doubt, one of the most healthy places on the Atlantic ooaat. Although the weather is said to be very hot at other places, the sea air makes it delightfully cool and bracing here. It is a place of great resort this summer, averaging from two to three thousand visitors so far. Fifteen or twenty years

ago it waa a place of largef and properous business derived entirely from the whale trade with a population of over ten thousand but aince that buainess has failed, the population has dwindled down to about four thousand. Having communication with the outside world only once a day, and but one mail a day, it makes one feel strangley isolated. There is one small weekly paper, no daily or semi-weekly. The old-time town crier takea the place of the daily in giving all kinds of daily notices. You will hear him at all hours of the day, and often in the night, going through the atreeta ringing his bell and crying '*fiah on the wharf." "A lot of corned beet," "Butter and green apples," Aa, *'will be sold at, auction at 9 o'clock." Everything is sold at auction. Real estate is almost without value. Good substantial dweltinga that would coat eight or ten thousand dollars to build, can be bought for eight or ten hundred and poorer ones at the same rate. About ten per cent, of the cost is the rate several have been bought for summer residences at $200 to $400 and $1000 by visitors since I have been here.

Catching sharks is one of the pastimes here. They are abundant in these waters. I have seen over two hundred lying on the beach that would weigh from fifty to three or four hundred pounds.

The people seem to be very cordial, intelligent and refined, and witbal, very quiet and orderly. I have witnessed no rowdyism or drunkenness. Miss Kellogg sang in the leading church last Sunday. They would get up a concert for her it we could stay but we must leave in a day or two for Hartford and New York. I see yon are having lively times in politics, and I begin to feel anxious to get back and help swell the tide for Grant and Wilson. I notice some "lofty tumbling" among my old political associates am sorry to see such "falling from grace," but it rejoices me to know that my good friend Col. Thompson is on "the warpath," fresh, vigorous and earnest as ever, doing valiant service for his country. Fight on, brave champion, and win and after this toil, will come a rest of peace, safety, honor, glory, and renown for us and our country, that will last to the end of our days. I it R.

SUMMER RESORT QOSSir.

The season thus far at Cape May has been a very brilliant one. You can buy ten oent's worth of ice cream at Niagara now for $1.

Lake Superior Is fast taking rank as a superior watering place. The 25th of August is generally regarded as the "height of the season."

Cape May, socially, is considered the most dangerous of Summer resorts., Open-air conoerta make the twilightis ofPut-in-Bay "delicously dreamful."

West Point, from what we can hear, Is not doing as well this year as usual. White Mountain tourists complain that the prioes are higher than the mountains.

I v3

It costs New York snobs five dollars a week ^to board their black and tan dogs at the Saratoga hotels—second table at that.

Moonlight croquet parties are all the rage at Eminence, Ky., and some fearfolly long games are played, while the balls have a decided tendency to roll off into the shadiest places.

They don't seem to be having a very good time at Newport. Difficulty—too much fog. It straightens your crimps takes the curl out of your feathers, and the starch out your muslin. ,y

Correspondents from watering places have written ad nauseam about the surf. We have dazzling surf, flashing surf, creamy surf and curling surf in endless profusion. In fact^ we have had a surfeit ofit. 1

Camping out is now at its height on the coast from York to Hampton. Islands and beaches are dotted with tho tents of families who spend a season at the seaaide In this primitive manner. ^. Their enjoyment is in-tents.

The waiters who carry lunches to the rooms at Congress Hall, say it would worry a hired man to stow away the corned beef and pork and beans that the young ladies call for between their regular meals of water, ices and spongp cdke.!

A little island in tho middle of Lake Mahopac is the. favorite pic-nicing ground for fashionable people, and the ground is covered in some places an inch deep with boiled egg-shells, champagne corks, sardine*boxes, and other debris ol civilization.

The man who does not sport a swal-low-tailod coat in a watering-place ball room stands a poor chance of dancing 1 with the elite, while a drummer on a salary of ton dollars a week, if his coat tailf are bifurcated, and be can waltz, minglea with the good and beautiful as be chooses.

Niagara Falls has ruined its once great popularity by extortionate charges and this Summer vainly tries to induce ita old visitors back by lower ratea. The lesson is suggestive to every section growing into popularity as a Summer resort. Don't "kill the goose that lays the golden egg." On this subject the Brooklyn Eagle says:

Speaking of charges there is a universal outcry against them this Summer aa being a little higher than ever bofore. Board and room at a nominal price of $5 a day is one thing, out getting anything to eat and a provision of reasonable comforts in your room uwsns freaa ene to three dollar* a day extra.
