... [Special Correspondence.! LONG BRANCH, Aug. 6. —The trip by WATER from New York to Long Branch is one of 3 the pleasantest excursions about the great city. The journey occupies froin two to two and a half hours. Boats make regular trips to and from the Branch. On the steamer you will have a rare chance to study human naturb from all parts of the country. Ou tin whole tha crowd is rather more "toney" than that which jams the steamers to Coney Island. Still there is enough of "nearness to nature" in them to afford the student many a smile. 'rt I One thing that is always very funny "on such an occasion is to see all the men about one united in the laudable endeavor to inform the minds of their lady companions.

The male sex takes to instructing the female a instinctivoly as a duck takes to water or •11 I a colored person to stealing watermelons

7

If about yoii are twenty men with ladies, nineteen out of tho twenty will be instructing the women. And tho silliest tLings those men will say, and the women will look with the intenses expression of interest, and take it all in. Even though they had heard it twenty times before, and could tell it far better themselves, they wiil look the picture of attention and admiration, and a little awe will be blended that one small head could carry all that man knew. It flatters the man's vanity, confirms him in the conviction, shaken sometimes, that he knows more than a woman. Yes, my dearal If a man tells you a hcrse is a horse, look as though you never heard it bafore, and never .j would have heard ic only for him. That's v- ijiyraf to catch him. Nothing like it.

IRON PIER AT LONG BRANCH.

t~ As wo leave Now York at the Battery,* a great clock upon the new produce exchange .vi building says it is five minutes after 4. One of the masculine instructors sees the clock just passing from sight. "It's five minutes after 4," says he.

The woman had been seeing the clock all the time, and knew it as well as he. But if .. you'll believe me, the humbug looked as though the information was proioundly new if and interesting to her.

We pass on down the bay, through tha 'i Harrows, and glide past Sandy Hook out into the ocean and down tha coast, il hour passes. Villas and fishermen's got

ft tages be^in to dot the white shore line. The villas are paiuted dark red and bronza brown and dull green. More and more ,«. thickly they come, till a continuous line of them is shown, with smooth bright grass plots in front.

At length, to the southward, a long framework is seen, looking something like a ,tJ railway trestle-work, or the close scaffolding about a budding. It extends huudreds of feet out from the shore into tne water. "There!" says one of the male instructors to his wife. "That's the iron pier. That's where the steamboat lands."

Everybody knew it bafore. But this man had to tell his wife, so she would get the information from him and proper family discipline thus be maintained.

A famous place is this pier. It is built as strongly as iron and the best workmanship &, can niako it Yet once or twice the sea has *, risen so furiously that it has cracked the great supporting columns as if they had been egg shells and washed away parts of the structure. At times too this terrific, beautiful sea lashes the pier so tremendously with his whip-like breakers that it is impossible for the steamers to land.

ON THE P1KR.

All is quiet enough now, though, *this

hot August day. The steamer rounds the ,5 pier lazily and cuddles softly up to its side. s• The gangways are let down, and the throng streams up the stairway and upon tho pier.

Not all leave the toat. however. New York people often take the round trip upon the Coney Island and Lcng Branch steamers simply to get the rido upon the water. This ,, ride to Long Branch and back is a delightful water excursion lasting four to five hours. Families go sometimes and take a big lunch basket along. The saa air is infinitely reviving to pale, puny children.

Among the people on our boat were two rosy, substantial Irish women. They were mother and daughter evidently, who earned an henest living with their hands and feared no man. They were having an afternoon outing, and enjoying it. The old lady slipp jd her now shoe off, to "aise" her foot, while she sat. Thev did not leave the boat. We neared Long Branch. They drew out their wee bit lunch. They haid some ginger cookie.*, which they mads a great show of eating. N xl they poured thdr drink into a teacup, aii sipped it as daintily as aLong Branch damo takes her best breakfast chocolate.

Tea? Ob of course. At least, that is, I thought it was. But I sat to leeward of them. I have a nose, and if the innocent tea-colored liquid in that cup wasn't raw Jersey whisky, strong enough to muka a dog howl, then I never wrote a line for a new»

paper. ssfft g.cttness eff, you know. But the fun of the thing was in pouring it into the cup to make believe it was tea. That was tin Irish of it.

The building cf the pier ha3 changed the character of Long Branch. Before that it was the paradise of stiff old fellows, largely Philadelphians, who believed the Almighty made it expressly for them. It was inaccessible by steamboat. It was off tho main line of railways, and the price1 for getting to it high enough to make it out of reach of very poor people. Long Branch has been a fashionable watering place nearly or quite a centum?.at now vast »xoorwons cc^t«*imng a thousand peopno aeacoua upon cue iron pier lika a wolf $n the fold. Awnings are stretched ovw.it to keep off sun and rain Gayly paiuted benches line the sides, invit ing the common herd to rest and breathe the sea air. 'Small tables are in front, where the common herd's girl may eat lot cream and hor taau drink bis glass of beer. Jose aronad the Iron pier it is as lively as Coney bland, with much the samo sort of cheap show gayety. Ice croam booths, cigar stands, hacks, noise, flies and dust make a scene like the breaking up of a country fair. Old residents $hake their hoad and say the pier has ruined this pet ot the Branch. For my part, I'm glad of it I always rejoice when a new breathing place i& gained for the pj^pli who do the work and make tho wealth of tlx nabobs, "lbe mere such outlits there are for them away from the city the less crinu ru madness aud pestilence there will bo.

The liveliest part of the sea bathing at Long Branch is immediately around tha p'er. A steep, cruml ling bank rises above the sandy be ich. It is below this steop bank that the bathing hou3J3 are.

Long Branch is noted for. its beautiful drives. The main avenue skirts the beach lor many miles. It is as smooth as a floor. The soft red earth make? a road for horses' feet, which i* a pleasant relief alike from stony pavements and toilsome pulls through saud. It is said there are quite fifteen mile£ of beautiful driveways in and imtnediaAaly about Long Branch. The people here claim that the most beautiful horses and carriages in America are to be seen upon Ocean avenue, and perhaps thev are right. The Branch contains in summer about 15,000 inhabitants, and they represent immense wealth. Here tho Philadelphia millionaires bloom out in summer. Hare, too, ore the cottages of Geo. W. Childs, of Blanchard vice-president of tho Erie railway, of Victor Newcombe. of the late Commodore Garrison, Horace Wliite, the newspaper man, and scores of other prominent people. All bring their carriages and horses, and their families vie with one another in splendor of toilet and turn-out The drive at Long Branch, from 6 o'clock till dark, is a- beautiful sight. However old-fashioned ani republican a citizen's own notions are, his fainilv generally manage to bring him up to the times. There was ond such citizen, whose name you would know if I mentioned it He had persistently frowned on liveried coachmen all his life. No man ic his hire should wear buttons and kneebreeches. So he said. But he has a family of bright and handsome sons and daughters. The eldest heir of his father's distinguished name slipped a pair of gorgeous silver chains upon the horses for tile drive. From that wi only a step to livery, breeches, buttons and all. The coachman, a good-looking fellow, was proud as a peacook of his new rig. It was all done on the quie^ so as to spring it upon the papa unbeknownst Next day his beautiful and interesting family brought him out to the front door to take the usual drive, and behold, there it all wasl Should he act the ugly papa, and order the things taken off? He did the wise thing, being thus circumvented he pretended not to see it. He said never a word, but, went with them like any meek and weli-bahaveJ papa. Maybe he didn't sea itl

GRANT'S COTTAGE

The West End, so-called, is the fashionable part of tho Branch. That is the part farthest removed from the iron pier. As you are well toward the western confine of the town you will see out close to the top of the hnnir a roomy, plain-looking brown cottage. At this time it is heavily draped in black, A close clump of young evergreens, pines and firs is on each of the entering driveways. One of them hides the stables from view. The roomy brown wooden house is the cottage that belonged to Gen. Grant Here he lived, and passed some happy as well as some very wretched days. It was in going from this cottage to New York that be was shaken up in a railway accident, and never recovered entirely from the injury. The cottage is rented to a stranger now, who has thus draped it in honor of the lamented dead. Nearly all Long Branch is in mourning.

Planting tho evergreens to screen the •tabling and domestic sight from view was the goneral's own idea, and it is considered vrv good tast£,. Long Branch lives in the

puoiio eye. Tnererore, an offensive objects must be kept from sight This is done most skillfully in cast) of the horse accommodations. I shall never cease to admire the Long Branch stables. They are finished off plainly but handsomely in a stylo to match the house and painted to correspond. One of them might easily be taken for a dwelling house. They are kept at neat as cab be. Bu^ there must necessarily be various old traps about a stable that to say the least are not aesthetic. These are tumbled together upon the uninviting side of the structure. Then a screen of green or brown lattice work is built to thut off the view, and vines are planted over it. Growing over several of these stable lattice works thu) I saw thickly clustering vines of the old-fash-ioned, sweet-scented honeysuckle, making the wholo air fragrant with its wax-like blossoms. :S* V'''.vj

One of tfid inost famovis tesortSf* in Long Branch is the Pennsylvania Club house, so called. Hero tho heaviest gambling is done, tho most openly of any place in America. I suppose it is called the Pennsylvania club house because of its Quakerlike associations. Hundreds of thousands are gambled away here every season. Famous men of wealth have broken themselves up here. One of them some time since Was a oclitician of note in his state, a brainy, nop* ular man He was a dashing, good-looking fellow, who visited Long Branch and held his head high with the best. But he caught the gambling fever, and his handsome prop* erty vanished away like a smoke wreath. He is a financial wreck now. Business embarrassments broke him up it was said. But it was this Pennsylvania club house that broke him.

One man has made his fortune off it, and that is the man who keep? it He came to Lang Branch some few years ago with an old rack-a-bones of a horse and a wagon to match. He began betting on everybody and everything he could lay eyes on. I dare not aay how many hundred thousands he is worth now. His wife is devout Oatholia, and supports a little church of her faith fn the oil part of the town. This ablo financier won $60,000 betting on the election of Cleveland. With the money he erected two cottages that area feature of Long Branch. The children's toy playhouse, one of them, cost as much money as the whole mansion in which many a worthy family live.

FRANCKLYLF COTTAGK.

Qfuilbe (o tha west of the town is' an aesthetic group of red and brown houses. All the Long Branch hou o3 are built of wood. This group is a pretty and tastoful feature of the landscape. One, you notice, is larger than the rest Here are cool hall*, staiued glass windows, and all manner of quaiut and pretty corners. The group of houses is Elberon, which you have read about so much. In plain language, it is an addition to the town built by Mr. L. Brown. Hence its name. Tho larger building, in the centor, is the hotel. Tho cottage* grouped all about are let to families that take their meals in the hotel. A good number of tho Long Branch .cottages are built without kitchens. They, in fact, belong lo a hoteL But instead of having one building tho lodging place of a vast caravansery of every nation aud kindrel and tongue, its apartments are separated into cottages, with a central eating place. This is a popular plan at Long Branch. In ono of the Elberon houses, the Francklyn cottage, President Garfield ended his suffering life. Yon see a reproduction of it in the illustration. It stauJs immediat ly upon the bluff, above the sea. The washing of the surf was probably the last sound that penetrated the ear of the dying president

John Hooy's now cottages are built on tha samo system as the Elberon, hotel and outlying houses. They are called "cottages," but must have cost anywhere from $50,000 to $75,000. They are gorgeously finished in soma kiad of a crazy, fashionable architectural style, and furnished in away that Solomou in all his glory could not have vied with The lower porches are enclosed in glass, so that the house's occupdnts may take a sun b»th in winter. These sumptuous Wooden castles rent for 8,0J0 apiece for the season. That is near the top notch for a Long Branch woodeu castle.

H0KY 8 PARK.

Mr. John Hooy's park and grounds are the admiration of visitors to Long Branch. There are immense green-houses and flower b^ds. At ona end of the grounds is a great grovo of codar trees, several acres, Voder them is a carpet of green grass.

The "Vfest MO nocsi 13 too iurges* uue nt the Branch. It holds 11,000 people altogether, outlying cottages and alL It happened to be the night of the famous annual ball that I arrived. This is a complimentary ball giVen every season by the proprietors of the West End to the ladies of the house. The large skating rink was decorated with flags and flowers, and lighted by electricity. The ball was a brilliant affair. The ladies largely wore beautiful white toilets.

The New York Sun says: The specialty in this year's daytime dress at Long Branch is tedness. Garments of scarlet are so common that the village trustees ought to, if they haven't, take special precautions against the loosing of bulls in the streets. There is no other bright color in vogue. White costumes aro plenty, black stockings are the invariable rule, and neutral hues are general, but all the glare in costuming is rod. Black face is worn very thinly over arms and bosoms, and bareness of either is rare therefore, for once scragginess i» just about as good, as plumpness, while a smooth, white skin is practically no more valuable than powdered sallowness, so softening is the screen of lace. The leading dresser, as for the past four years, is the oft-mentioned Mrs. Moses Fraley, of St. Louis but it is in the quantity quite as much as the quality of her wardrobe that she distances all competitors. Miss Van Tassel, a Brooklyn belle, is a notable competitor, and her coatume3 are both rich and becoming. She is very vivacious. Yesterday she was seen kissing her horse's nose as the favored beast stood in front of the hotel waiting to draw her away in a phaeton.

The dress parade bezins every morning and lasts until midnight It was observed that, in the parlor of a certain hotel, a fulllength mirror did not rest flat against the wall, but was set out about an inch at one side. Bits of wood behind that edge proved that the position of the glass was intentional. ''That was dono in order to get more wear out of tne carpet," wad i&a exp/anation. ''Nineteen women in twenty cannot resist the temptation of getting a full-sixe reflection of themselves and that is especially true in a summer hotel, where the guests' rooms are not furnished with large mirrors. As they walk through this parlor they are pretty sure to so arrange their route as to face their shadows in the glass at least" apart of the way. That practice is enough in one season to wear a path in the carpet So, at the beginning of each »ummervwe shift the mirror slightly, and by that device lay out a new pathway across the carpet, 'fthich thereby can be mode to last years longer."

The place is very full this year. One thing notable is the great number of Jewish faces, They are everywhere in the place. Their long purses rent the handsomest cottages aud pay for the most expensive rooms at tht hotels. It is said the Jews are taking Long Branch, body and bones.

THE CAPITOL AT ALBANY.

Not again in a century, likely, will this grand building of th9 capitol of the empire state be visited by so many thousands as on the present occasion. Many of Albany's residents came up the State street hill to-day for the first time since the new capitol was opened to the public. And such a throng! The question was asked constantly, "Where are the people coming from

The great majority wore their black Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. In many eases it cculd be seen it was their winter ones, which increased their discomfort The police and military regulations to preserve order were hardly adequate to meet the great crowds, yet they kept the crowded, surging mass from trampling on one another. ...*•«

THE FUNERAL CAR# 1

The funeral car which carried the remains to the capitol was fully as imposing as the catafalque. On the black platform was a dais covered with flags, on which the casket rested. Falling down the sides from the platform to within two or three inches of the ground was heavy material, plaited, over which extended part way full festoons of black cloth. The uprights supported a dome of pyramidal form, surmounted by a ball. Across the eaves were a series of festoons, with tassels in between. The uprights were drap6d with flags caught up gracefully about a third of the distance above the platform. The driver sat on the front of the

but the six black horses were

by hand reins. Gen. Joseph B. Carr, as deputy marshal, commanded the military, and they made an imposing spectacle such as will not be soon forgotten in this city.

PEACE AT LAST.

No more touehing incident occurred at the cottagb since his death than that of last Thursday, when Mrs. Grant found sufficient strength to visit her husband's body for tho first time. It was a supremo moment. Here, she who had accompanied and. bore with him the anxieties and trials of a busy public life, through its successes, and saddening reverses, must have realized that his wish had at last been gratified in its fullest sense: "Let us have peace."

u-

How great the hardships were in the early struggles of the family are partly known,' but it developed in Mrs. Grant a strong will and a strong constitution that remained with her in good stead while her womanly instinct piloted the family through many a dark passage, but the will ha? at last succumbed to the terrible strain, And .it was only by an almost superhuman effort that she was enabled to bring herself to spend a few moments alone with the body which fiad brought her so much honor as well as so much solicitude during life. The guard of honor retired from the room, while Mrs. Grant, bending over the casket, looked tenderly at the features of tho deceased, then broke down oompletejy. After about ten minutes sne appeared ax tne uoor of the parlor evidently much affected, then returned to her room where she remained until evening, when she again visited tha parlor in company with Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. Fred Grant.

About 3 o'clock that some afternoon an opportunity wa^givsn the poopie of tne mountain to see the remains of Gen. Grant, and then it was realised what an increase in the population had taien place in the last few weeks. The regular habitues of this spot a year ago this time could have filed through the parlor in five minutes, but on this occasion it took nearly three hours and there were then some disappointed ones.

The night before the coffin* lid wais hermetically sealed, Col. Grant placed on his father's finger a ring which bad bean found in the general's pocketbook after his death. It had bean given him years ago by his

Her letter contained the brief, line: "Farewell, till we moat in a bett3r world."
