NEW* OF THE WEEK"

A Irt involving * Iom of over $300,000 teeurrad on Monday uight in Nsyr York. w ^ Fully 5000 people witnessed tho dress p»r«d» of tho Muryl&ud 5th, on Cougress Hall lawn, July the 18th. Una. A. C. Arthur has written n letter q t acceptance. It ill etruug eiprmion of public opinion upon reform in the strvio*. A horrible accident occur ed on Wednesday *1 the Jersey end of tho Hudson River tunnel, by which 14 tneu were crushet^to death. A new reeort hee been started on the Delaware shore a* the point to well kuown se Bombay Hook. It is now eel led Woodland Beach. The Australian steam or, Hydaspee was run into and sunk in the Euglish Channel, on Saturday last The passengers, crew, and cargo were all lost. The shipments of grain from Philadelphia during the present week reached bid, 680 bushels, making a total since January 1st of 13,003,446 bushels corn and 4,342,040 bushels whsat, against 10,870,407 bushels wheat at the same time last year. At Manhatten Pavillion on Sunday 0,600 persons hired bathing robes, the largest number since the 6th of JulyIn the evening it was estimated that the Manhatten Hotel had between 20,000 and 30,000 visitors, the largest crowd of the season. During the reception to the Cornell Crew at Ithaca, N. Y., a sky-rocket miscarried and was discharged into a stage containing the committee and a quantity of fireworks. A terrible explosion followed. Two men, leaping from the burning vehicle, were eeriously injured. The money market continues in a ' very easy and satisfactory condition — that is, satisfactory to the borrowers, who are enabled with the right sort of ©ollatteral to secure loans at very low rates, but capitalists and the bgnks complain of a want of safe and profitable security for the investment of their surplus means. » William F. Darrah, one of the Annapolis Naval engineers visiting Harrisburg, while in a fit of somnambulism on Saturday night, stepped from a fourthstory window of Bolton's Hotel. lie fell a distance of 35 feet into an open cellerwav, smashing the steps and breaking three of the iron stanchions supporting them. The only injury received Was a fracture of the left wrist.' Mrs. Elisabeth Winters celebrated her centennial birthday at Newark, on Friday, Tha venerahlo lady had nine children, six of whom ore living, the oldeet being eighty- two. A number of bar grand-children, great grand children and great-gruat -grand -children also visited her, and garo her valuable presents. Bhe has forty grand children, 1 04 great grand-children, and nineteen great-great-grand children. One of the most delicate instruments known to science it Edison's tasimeter, or heat-measure. The rapid passago of the liand before it at a distance of thir-ty-four foct ca u«es a deflection of the needle of two hundred degrees. In our opinion there is no better daily pspor published in the city of Pliila- ^ delphia than the "Press," It has just come out in a handsome new dress, and under its present- management stands among the boat Journals of the country. We congratulate the trustees of .School District No, 17 upon their good fortunate in securing the services of Miss Mary Wallace as teacher at Swain's Button. Miss Wallace is a young ladvof fine talents and good principles, and if me pupils do not improve under her charge it will be their own fault. We hope the parents and pupils will give her a hearty welcome when she enters upon her duties. The recent accidents to passenger steamer* is awakening the people to an inquiry into the inspectors' certificate granted to the passenger boats. In New York city it has been found that many of the l»oats do not carry one-half the life saving apparatus which is required by the inspection laws, Xhe indictment and conviction of a few of She managers would have a salutary effect upon the balance of them. What a terrible fellow Gen. Garfield turns out to be, now that the republieans have placed him in nomination SL

Isn't it cu rious what unmitigated scamps a simple ivcmvnarii"! for ofltau will turn men into t The new advertisement of the Cumberland Mutual Insurance Company will be foui^l in another column. This well known company bas never beoo compelled to make an assessment upon the premium notes, and already has a large iiue of business in Cape May county. The agents who represent the compauy in this neighborhood are all good reliable men, and our cituums should apply to thein for rates when contemplating taking out policies of insurance. Reuben Townsend Esq., attends to the business in this neighborhood ; Dr. Beesley to tbat of Dennisville and vicinity ; and Wm. K. VanGilder at Petersburg, Upper Township. «w s The better class of people are getting thoroughly disgusted with Atlantic City as a summer resort, and we believe that in a few years there will be but very few permanent guests at that place. The high order of society which this year is visiting Cape May is noticed by all who go there. Another point in which Cape May has a favorable showing when compared with Atlantic City is tho superior bathing grounds at the Cape. No less than five persons have been drowned at the former place in the last ten days, and all owing to the uneven state of the beach. It is not the excursionett who supports a hotel, but the class of people who go to the shore for a week or month ; and this is the class who are now registered at Cape May. As the grandchildren and nephews and nieces of her Majesty, the Queen of England, increase, so iucrease the requirements of mourning in tho reigning family. Already allied by marriage to several royal houses, the death even of an infant relation plunges kingdoms into polite grief, and supplants the symbolic gold and purple of sovereignty with the sombre trappings of a woo that is necessarily only superficial. The recent death of the Empress of Russia was one of those events which are in conflct with tho pleasures of royalty, nipping in the bud the expectation of the Prince of Wales to bo present at the .Paris races for the Grand Prix. And so it will go from year to year, until the havoc of death will mako the Court of England one constantly decorated with crape, so numerous are its matrimonial complications with the Courts of othor kingdoms. — ♦ ♦ ♦ One of the saddest and most affecting cases of suicide that has happened in a long time was that of James Short, at the Falls of Niagara, on Monday of this week. He was a young man of twentythree years, of excellent family, intelligent, sober, honest, and beloved by all who cam© in contact with him, he had the brightest prospects for a long and happy life. Ho became enamored by a pretty young lady in the town where he lived, in Vermont, and she encouraging his attentions until he requested an immediate marriage, when she cooly informed him that she was "only testing his mettle, and guessed they had better be strangers hereafter," He at once went to tho Falls with the intention of committing suicide, but once there he could not muster courage to make the leap, and instead took a revolver and sent a hall directly through his brain. These suicide! are becoming ©very-day occurrences, and it is a question whether many of the victims arc not so doranged at the time of committing the deed that they are irresponsible. Witnesses in court appear to be regarded by a certain grade of lawyers as a kind of criminals who ought to he made as uncomfortable as possible. Since they cannot very well be hanged outright the idea of the average shyster who happens to get one of these perverse people under his thumb is to browbeat, bully and insult him to the extreme outer verge of his capacity in that line. This is particularly true of criminal Courts, though it is had enough in the oiTil Courts. Judge Briggs is to he commended for the prompt protection he accorded the other day to a witness who was being maltreated In this way and who protested against the outrage. The rebuke administered to the attorney was a sharp one, and the legal person will doubtless remember it for sonic timo to come. The practice of insulting witnesses while giving their testimony is most reprehensible. It is utterly unchivalrous, and no gentleman is ever guilty of it. The tendency of this sort of bulldozing is to defeat the ends of justice by Investing the witness stand with sush ignominy that decent people will resort to almost any means to avoid being subjected to it.— Ex. That queer specimen of humanity known as John Huskin is now engaged in the "weeding" prooess among his books, and as one of his eccentricities he writes his autograph in each book and givaa his raaaons for parting with

% f . r tke volume. One of these > oaten* is, "because iU owner has never feed it," If all the people who onn libraries were to follow Mr. KuskJo'a txample in the ante IneUuocd we fear Ik* boofcgneHoD eere would not get a rest duf 1«g the next decade. Kuikin was born at Oxford 1n 181V, educated at the University, and ia now Professor of Art there. Ho ia the greatest art-critic of his time. To show what poetry and sublimity ho oan throw into a single sentenoe we give the fal lowing short extract from his "Sunrise in the Alps <" "Wait yet for one hour, until the egst again becomes purple, and the heaving mountains, rolling against it in dark ness, like wgves of a wild toe, are drowned one by one in the glory of its burning ; watch the white glaciers blase in their winding petit about the mountains, like mighty serpents with scales of fire ; watch lite the columnar peaks of solitary snow, kindling downward oluuun by ohasm, each in itself a new morning — their long avalanches cast down in keen streams brighter than the lightning, sending each his tribute of driven saoir, like altar-smoke, up to heaven ; the not* light of their silent domes flushing that heuven about them, piercing with purer light through its purple lines of lifted cloud, easting a new glory on over y wreath, as it passes by, until the whole heaven, one scarlet canopy, ia interwoven with a roof of waving flame and tossing vault beyond vault, as with the drifted wings of many companies of angels: and then, when you can look no mors for gladness, and when you are bowed down with love and fear of the Muker and Doer of this, tell me, who has best delivered this liis message unto men 1" ins Not unfrequently the question arises : Why is it that the study of astronomy U so fascinating, while the kindred sciences are even repulsive to the beginner? The answer we believe to be this : that no branch of science exhibits phenomena which, while they tax the keenest powers of scientific research, at the same time awaken the slumbering sensibilities of those barely tinctured with scientific culture and turn the attention toward subjects which, in some degree, may be understood even by the uninformed in the science. The wondrous beauty of the rising or setting of the sun, as viewed from a lofty eminence ; the xiugcstic grandeur of the moon, moving full-orbed through limit, less space ; the pictured heavens, with their inimitable designs — all these are for the ei\joyment of the untutored observer as well as for the astronomer. This it is that makes the study of tho Mars so fascinating and enjoyable. Immensity always inspires awe and wonder, and this is especially true of tho immensity of space — that undcfinublc, unlimited something in which all things exist. Cast your eye heavenward any clear night and behold tho canopy of blue, pierced, so it seems, here and there and everywhere by bright points of light, but step now into tho observatory, and aided by the telescope, these bright, .shining dots, which a moment before , seemed but minute apertures emiting hidden light, now become, to tho view, luminous orbs suspended in boundless space. Then it is that the iraagmatiop find* scope for action, and we wonder if living beings, to us unknown, inhabit those distant worlds ; the mind relaxes its bold on things terrestrial, and our thoughts, swift-winged, soar away toward the One who rules and governs all. If it be tho ultimate object of all true knowledge to enlarge and purify tho soul, to fill the mind with noble aspirations and to lead our feeble reason from creature to Creator, then tho study of astronomy, fulfilling tbeso various ends, claims a most prominent place. How grand the conception of magnitude compared with which our globe is a football ! How sublime the thought that all "the starry hosts" are martialed in their proper lines like well trained men, and notwithstanding the complexity of movement, each observes its appropriate course and there is naught but harmony of action 1 Although our much exalted world is insignificant in sise when compared with surrounding worlds, and man, its inhabitant, sln^s into utter nothingness when creature is contrasted with Creator, yet those thoughts tend rather to alleviate than to depress, for we are led to acknowledge allegiance to a supreme And regal power; Tho study of the sciences in general Is being made each year more att motive to the minds of the young, and is not confined exclusively to thoee"skillodin the work." Our numerous magazines, periodical and scientific books are presenting the facts of sciejnce so clearly and forcibly to the common mind that all who • will may have some knowledge of the essentials of the diflbrHit branches of science, ano thus many may be induced to enter upon larger fields of investiga tion. To such, astronomy offers the most satisfactory rewards.

ONIONS AS FOOD.

The healthftllneea of onions taken as food hsa been genera lly admitted, but

from Uii Upis of oeneho P siiaap wh-o ol |^-i ^ jL L ^ f "tfftfl weeekea/' until this day, the vug)! <>f most firary on*. The 8cit*vmt AV»*icas says : "Lung and Rver oomplxjnu I „e eruiuj, UuefllUd. ofttoi by | a free consumption of onions ; either cooked or raw. Colds yield to them like magic- Don't be afraid of them. Taken at night all offense will be wanting by morning, and the good effeeU will compensate for the trifling annoyance. Taken regularly they greatly promote the health of the lung* and the digestive organs. An extract made by boiling down the juice of onions to a syrup, and taken as a medicine, auswers the purpose very well, but fried, roasted, or boiled, onions are better. Onions are a very cheap medicine, within everybody's reach, and they are not by any meant ** "bad to take" as the costly nostrums a neglect of their use may necessitate.

- A MODEL SEA8IDE HOTEL.

The .Gobblecasli Seaside House is now open for the season. Contains over 700 rooms, with every possible discomfort for your money. Chamber square, having one window, and little inducements for heated air to get out when once it gets in. Water all in pitchers ; no basins or faucets. Furniture of the light summer patterns. Fierce contest necessary to open the bureau drawers, and a similar one necessary to coax them back again. Not less than four changes of dress tolerated for ladies. Washing, twenty-cents the square inch, hotel laundry measurement. Guests having valuables are requested to deposit them with the landlord, as he wants them. Chef do cuisine same as last season, and will serve up the same chickens. Guests who do not properly fee the waiters are expected to satisfy their hunger elsewhere. The clerk is an American gentleman of noble European lineage, and distinguished for his hauteur, dignity and high old breeding to parties bringing only hand baggage. The bathing suits furnished, having properly rotted during the winter, are warranted to add to the excitement of the rolling breakers, and furnish much entertainment to spectators on the beach. A distinguished swimmer bos been employed by the Gobblecosh Seaside House, who will allow none but objectionable and unfashionable parties to • drown on venturing beyond a safe distance in the breakers. The table will be supplied with pure country milk and eggs, from New York City. — New Yovk Graphic.

WASTE OF SUGAR IN COOKING.

At a sanitary convention in Michigan recently, the President of the State Board of Health called attention to a bad practice among cooks, by which cane sugar is converted into grape sugar in cooking, thereby losing more than half of its sweetening power. Some women, he said will put the sugar in with a mass of acid fruit to be cooked, and keep cooking and keep adding sugar, while it kee{»s on growing sourer, until at lost they will use two and a half times as much sugar as they ought, to secure tl»e desired result. The cane sugar has been changed to grape sugar. Now, if the sugar had been added after the fruit was cooked, much less would have been required, and tho result would have been far more satisfactory. In nine cases out of ton infants suffering from summer complaints if carried away from where taken sick to a more healthy locality; begin at once to recover.

Current Notes .

"The devil's bombshell" is the name of a new device for making the glorious Fourth hideous. Postmaster General Key says that there are now 43,000 post offices in active operation in this country. A sea captain in Portland, Me., now over 50 years of age, has never had an opportunity to vote for Prosident, as he has always been at sea or in some foreign country at tho time of elootion. One of the managers of a hospital asked an Irish nurse which he considered the most dangerous of the many oases then in the hospital ? "That, sur," said Patrick, as he pointed to a ease of surgical instruments on the table. It is said that a minister fn a country kirk In Scotland stopped In the course of his sermon to ask a member who was deaf t "Are you hearing, John ?" "O, aye," was the response. "1 am hearing, but to wit* little purpose." A lawyer once rushed up to Jerrold in the street and said, with a flushed face j "Mr. Jerrold, I've just met a scoundrelly barrister," Jerrold looked at him with a bland smile and simply answered » "What a coincidence I"
