We gpeak literally, for it is a h ' city, aod not a village or town more- n J ly, at which tb# traveler will land a ' when be debarks at Capa May. Wo tl ' mention tbe fact for fear that it may . not In all case" suggest itself. In b (-area, to be "ore, the municipality io n i ample enough, embracing the whole n { point of tbe peninsula, several miles | v | in length ; bnt not mucb can bo said h of the population, wbicb, all told, , tl certaioly cannot exceed five hundred ii j tool". In this cenaus we apeak, of i Ii I course, of the permanent residents b only, and not of tbe sommcrvisitants. ' »' may, ie Ibelr Bea«t>5, t>e cunnt- ' d : ed not by bondrcds but by thou- , e I "and" ; and with their beJp and that of the doxen • or twenty impo«iug | d I hotel edlficea, and tbe infinite tail of i h restaurant", barber-shops, ice-cream j y ealoona, bowling-alleys, billiard-ball" i tl pistol-galleries, batbiug-houBc", and | r temporary bousei of alhaames — the j tl little city really growa mctropoliUn | b aipcct ; and the "gas-works" aod , fi tbe "mayor'* ofBco," wbicb at other u times seem to have been sent there I p merely on »lorage, now appear quite 1 1> in place. Tbe numrroaa churches, ! tl also, are explained by the arrival of j u tba gpeeial autnmer population, h Without it, the stranger uiigbt be | h to an over-estimate of the godli- ; b of the Cape, or to an injnrious ip oplolon of tbe brotherly foaling of | a tbo people. So many chorcbes, be 1 1 would wonder, for no small a commu- : n nity I and of soch varying faiths, j e loo 1 from the croM-crowncd Calbo- j ii lie, to Episcopal, Presbyterian, Rap- , s list, and Metbodist, and we forget . u bow mflUy others. The city Is sctfo \ i in very Impressive guise as approach- j i ed on the Allantic "ide. Tbo great j o hotels — and indeed tbe whole town, . f cburcbe* and all— standing close upon | u or not far removed from tbe shore, 1 v present a bold front, and greatly I o surprise the unexpected voyager as j g be sails. Near as wc stem to be to ; u our destination wben thus gazing | i, the shore, wo find that we have t yet to travel far on, beyond the city | i under oar nose, even to tbo opposite ; I side of the Cape, before wo can land, , r and then ride two or three tniies oa r terra Erma to our hotel. This, bow- ; ii ever, is easily dene by the help of!s tba liberal provision of Jereey wagons ] 1 which await our use as w» gain the.j i shore end of the loog wooden pier. , c la oae of our pictures tbe traveler * will see how and where be is to lead ; a at the Capty come be whence he | may — from tire sea or down the bay. Of course tbe landing, remote as it r is from tbe town, is a busy aud gay- I plaoc a; tbe hours of tbe ar- t rival and departure of the iteamers — 1 j morning and cveniog. j i .It may be well to advise tbo *isi- t tor, before wo forget it, that the i post-office designation or our water- t l&g-placo is "Cap* Island"— and not i Cape May. The latter title belongs I to the eonnty capital. Letters to journey direct shonld be addressed, ' accord inly , to "Cape I eland not ! forgetting tbe conclediag "N. J." , Having now landed our traveler | safely at the Cape, and put him into , tbe ablqnitons Jersey wagon (at a , cost to him of twenty -fir* cents), i and even hint fairly tn route over tbo j remaining two miles aad a half of' ; easy land -paw age, we will let him ; down eomiortably at hit hotel, and ' tbeu help aa we may be able to tbe agreeable outlay of bis time— and i money, of coarse. ' U« will have ao difficulty in find ing excellent accommodation of bed ; and board, 'aalets be come, per- , chance, in tbe height of a very . crowded season; ia which ease bu will, like all reasonable men onder ' sock circumstances, spread himself ' with happy heroism upon the floor of tb* piaxxs, or in the hospitable shelter of a bathing box. It woold be i useless to oadertak* a catalogue raii stMuee* of tbe Cap* hotels aod boardI ing-bouses. Their name It Legion. > Suffice It to ladfeata a few of the - leading aatabliibmenu, as, for example, Congress Hall , Colombia I Howe, United States, Atlantic, : Centre, Delaware, Sea Breeze, v WasblBgtoa, National, Bhiledaipbia, j Tremont, Barf. These are all largo - streetures, eonvenlently appointed 0 io the matter of rooms, and provided B in tb* way of tables, servants, cel- ' lara, aad all at eotaras, in a style . fully equal to that of tbe but fir*t,t close boas**, either of cuootry yr il city, any where ia the land Moat • of them ar* large OBoogb to previdc II comfortably for foar or Ire handred ^ gaests ouch.

wc hove tneatfoacd, there ere nn- t mcrouB others, into whieb the visitor I ' will be conteut, and wbicb, indued, I . may evea seleot from the entire i ( list. •• • - - jj Congress Hail stands io imposing , proportions near tbe edge of tbo .no- j ; beach, or separated therefrom , t only by tbe , pleasant lawn, ow I ' wbicb the gacsl steps fooa the inter- f minsble piazza to his botfiing-bouse U and the rolling snrl Nothtag^of t)rf| f kind coold be more sgrefiobli Mr- ! ranged. Tn tbe more recently oailt ■ i part of the house there is a beautiful I . parlor, of clegntit architectural adorn- ! f nicul, aud a grand arched dining- I ' furiy-Gve feet ia width and two j 0 fact loug. This superb . , apatlmcnl would be an object of sdmiriug remark in mucfa larger cities , that of Cape Island. For Such "entertainment" ns we 0 hero gnarantced, ' the- guest ' < must expect the customary "little i * account" to be presented- as a sou- ' ' ' venir of adien. We ore sorry Io j 6 ' to mention such matters, but I I they have tbeir importance — ainoant- I v i ing to no leis than iwenty-Gve dol- i i per week. If this figure is uot ; enough, oxtoud it at your pica- , * | sure by Ibr abundant means always v ' duly mode and provided for such « ' emergencies. ; ! For pastime by day, you amy , (drive for tn ties at n etrctcli apon the i beautiful brucb, or you may* turn I horses' heads inlifod, and seek t I groves of Cold Spring, a favorite ' t 'resort of the Cape May people and", ! their guests ; or you may go a-crnb- i ! biag in the noigbboritig inlets, or a- i I on the opuo sea ; or yoa may r make up your yachting parly, and 1 pufch up the bay, cr avrr lo the oppo- , ' I site shore of Cape Htulopen. If i 1 | programme should prove lo bo 1 loo stirring, tbeu there remains, at ' 'home, the ' bllUard-rootn ond tbo bowling-alley. Wc must not over- ' ' (look, here, the always pleasurable 1 ' periodical excitement of the arrival'1 and departure of guests and mails. ' j theso oveots transpire every i 1 morning and evening, yet are tbry ' ever fresh nod new to *11. For even- < ; pleasure, there ia tbe moonlight , ' I Stroll by the side of the suleuiu tea , 1 1 i or thu gay whirl of the merry dance . 1 { the thronged und brililans draw- • ' | lug-rooms ; aud in each situation ' | ample food for philosophic musing or | 1 sentimental confidence. Many, I | doubt, are the high inspirations I I which have been-horn of the sublimvr ' aspects of Nature here, aod many the ' ' i gentle feelings which her sweeter i ' | moods have called forth ; epic and . 1 i lyric grow nliko under the charm of; j ; the never-changing yet over-varying , | Sea.

For the Dully Ware. Mr. Euitoit ; — Tbo writer of UiIh, visitor for over forty years at Cape May, ventures to mako a suggestion i which may bo turned to profit by onlrrpriaiug resident of tho I ; aud if successful, certainly ' will contribute greatly to the enjoy - tnt'iit of the company annually ae- ' kciublrd here. Amusement, In tho way of sport, is confessedly a greet waul here, and the amusement most natural lo tho place is sua-fishiug. . want is not adequately supplied ' by iho precarious sport to be had in the sound, where one may go time und again without any remunerative 'success. Resides, it is often hot, and in the long ro# neceseery to reach (be best fishing ground, di* gqpt loo frequently supplants the expectation ol pleasure. It is well that excellent sea fishing may 1 be had on the "Banke," distant about twelve miles from the Islaud, nod a* "the sport scums to be duo to the ex- - istencu of a shoal in the midst of deep water, there i< uo rcaion why > ibe same sport may not be bad on the long bar known as "Uncle Eph," which lies parallel to the shore opposite the Island, and a mile or lets distent. In tbe Spring and Fall, fish, in large quantities, are taken in 1 seines, ia the intermediate water ; and the daily presence of porpoise*, which are obvionsly using it at a ' ground, are enough to 6*tiify 1 auy fisherman (bat good sport may ' be. had for a very small effort lo gel In seeking tbis sport by those who are not rcgnlar watermoa. an obstacle to bo overcome wonld be : the embarking and disembarking in . tho boats without Iho necessity of them through the surf. Enthusiastic sportsmen will don their clothes and go throogb the surf, but the timid and inexperienced will need the appliance of a stfe aad / wharf. Thii mny be easily supplied by the nse of a few iron , screw piles of or.e-inch rods, and strong screw pieces of the same, all fitted together wtth screwB. so that four men will erect or remove tbe structore in half a day. This coaid bo made to ran out beyond tbo i breakers, and should bo put down in the beginning of July and taken np io the btginning of September A | single board for the floor, with a hand rail, wonld be all that would , be required to make it safe ond offi1 cicnt. Tbo structure should bo suffi- : cicntiy high to be nt all times above ■ the lash of the surf, and it would be ' found that; as it would present no ' pcfnt of resistance but the thin iron roas, it wonld withstand ell tbo force 1 j of the sea within Ihe period abovcj i mentioned. The writer la net giving ' erode suggestions, but' has had such ! experience in the use of the screw . pile, as Tally warrants the assurauc* - that the t'uiug is entirely practicable, i aud may be dooo cheaply and cflif ciently. The expense of it wonld 1 be amply repaid io n single season, 9 as a qnartcr dollar a bead for those [ who would like to take -a view of the > bresk*rs from the other side of them ; - and this, added to tbe profit mado by r the sale of bait, tbe hire ef boats aud 9 1 lines and tbe necessary attendance, ' | would moke it profitable.
