There would appear to bo no exemption in nature from its tendency towards compensation. The delicious weather which was enjojed hero ior several weeks, while the cities and the plains were alike made desolate by the scorch ins; sun, is no longer .vouchsafed us. We still have the ocean and Us multitudinous attractions, and now and then comes a grand sea-breeze, to lift up our hearts for a moment. But for the most part the wind comes from tho inland, and any one who has ever experienced a land breeze at the Hca-sido knows lull well tho charpcter of its burden of grief. lloiquitors by the legion, quickened in vitality and overflowing with energy from their scanty Jars upon the marshes, come trooping down upon us. They are "cheerful little fellows, sing ing as they toU," and their uieluncholy song Is quits as dlstutteful as their energetic delving ftftor the hearts' blood of their helpless victims. A fit accompaniment to these pestiferous visitors is the spell of weather with which we are now afflicted. It is cold and rainy, and taken altogether, anything bat conducive to torafort and enjoyment. But, despite all these drawbacks, the people here gathered contrive to amuse themselves in a manner not entirely unsatisfactory. Hops and concerts are of nightly occurrence. On Tuesday evening a very pleasant atlair transpired In the concert hall of Congress Hall, where a concert was given by Mr. and Miss Rentz, assisted by Hark Hauler's orchestra. The attendance was quite large and the performance very credita ble, and entirely acceptable to all who were present. After the concert came a hop, which was characterized by extreme good ieeling and agreeable diversions. This evening Mr. Robert Craig, th admirable comedian of the Arch Street Theatre, is diverting another large audience at the same place with his inimitable imitations of Charles Dickens' readings, and the performances of other well-known characters. The imitations are interspersed with songs, and the good humor of the audience is a sufficient proof of the success which Mr.Craig Is achieving. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the steam yacht Tenucpsce arrived at this place, under the command of General R, C. Crawford, with Meters. Samuel O. Shouse, Thomas Powell, William II. Thomas, and Washington L. Ger nion on board as guests of the commander. The party had a right royal time on the voyage hither, despite the hindrances of wind and water, which rendered it both rough and trou blesome. The Tennessee is a diminutive affair, forty-five feet in lengta and ten feet of beam, but fitted up In admirable style, and altogether one of tho neatest crafts afloat. Ouikron. FEDESTRIANISM. Kcferring to tbricrromancr-." f "To J II?I1 pedestrians of the present day, the I u (tevacia) Mews has a word to saj about i-u humble efforts ot a newspaper carrier: Thomas Starr, a newspuper carrier, and who never had any idea that be was a great pedes trian, tfcthmkexceU either ot the above men tioned individuals in the way of true human pedestrian endurance, and long unremitting daily experiei.ee in that line. Starr com-mt-nced as carrier of the daily Territorial Jintei-prise Nov. 1, and tiimhed having sold cut his route May 1. I860; his time of steady service as currier having been two years V ' t., tl. - 'I. in. ana a nun, vi ju?v iuim. mourns. axis ronte included all of Gold canyon below Gold Hill, Spring Valley, Dayton, and a portion of Carsnn river, mating the actual distance traveled by him, including goine, returuiug, wajside deliveries and general diversities of the route to be at the least thirty-rive miles per day on the average. He left the office each morning as eoon as he could atter the paper went to press, his average time of start ing being three o'clock, winter aud summer, through deep sno. mud, fair weather and storm. Any one who bits ever wnlsed the ciffht miles from Dayton to Virginia, having to climb the height of 1800 lect in that distanc3, knows what a wearisome tramp it is, aud can realize the tak of doing the same thing over and over again daily, lor mouths and years, btarr frequently traveled half his route over a second lime the same day, carrying newly arrived Eastern papers, etc., aud numerous days thus walked eighteen hours without stop ping, except barely long enough to get some thing to eat. His general load of newspapers on starting out weighed Irom twenty-five to thirty pouuds, but ne very Irequeutly took alone aleo a lot of posters or handbill to dis tribute, besides books and other articles which he hart been requested to procare in the city for customers along the route, making his l'jud amount to hlty or sixty pouuds. Three weeks of the time lie tried it ou horseback, but it wai too much ior the auimal; tho poor horse coald not atand it any louger, so Starr had it to ro oil foot again. 3 he Enter prise being issued but fix days iu the week, he had only thoe days to carry it but that made no difference; the seventh day was his "collection day," when he went over th3 entire route, sctilmtr with his patrons lor the past week, cauvassing for new subscribers, etc. Thus he travelled his Toute of thirty-rive miles sevn days in tho week, aud tureo hun dred and sixty-five days in tho year, for two years and a half, making in all nine hundred and tweive consecutive days, without ever Iodine a da v. This makes a eratnl total of about 31,210 miles travelling, or some thou sands oi miles more than th f distance around the world.

A Propoaad Club lor Uomtalalioadoa, A meeting of la ilea and gentlemen Interested in the moveineut lately seti.n foot iu Loudou, for establishing a club for the accommodation' ot women was held iu July, ut the school of Art, Oxford slieet. Mr. Hodgson Pratt occu pie I the chair, and explained I ho objects of the ineetina, which will bo fouud described in the followiug statement. A lurge number of young womwu ure employed iu London whose pueuU live in the country, aud wh have ui relations or frh uJs to wtio.-o houvs they c;iu report on Sundays or ou tne week day eveuiugs when they are at lui-urc. For such women suitable places of le ort ior recieutiou, atudv, refresh ment, and society, secru to l uicently needed. It is thereinre thought desirnbie to set on fo t something iu the' uuHiic of club for women, where they shall b;i free from uil interference; but where, at the sarnc tune, tho uiubatretnent shad be such as to secure the mcmUcis from evil Influences. Whilo there shall bj perfect independence, oppoituuities shall be afforded for the cultivation of elevating pursuits aud refined tastes. At a club such as is proposed, refreshments of all kinds would be supplied, together with means of reat, or writing, societv, aud of access to hooks and periodicals. Bach places are especially ueedel ou Sunday, In coo aequeuce ot the custom which prevuils in mauy esubinhmeuts of requiting the young womuu to leave the house on that day, aud it was thoueht the proposed club would have tho effect of obvlatirg this very serious evil. The chairman observed thst this was not the first time that a similar scheme had been pro posed, an association having been started some time ago, nnder tho auspices ot Lord Shaftes aury, lor the formation of 'homes' la connec tion with 'the Christian and domestio improve ment of young women.' Tnat institution, how ever, was too directly and exclusively of a religious character to met the present require ment; and hence there could be no doubt that these clubs are deserving ot every encourage ment and support. Letters were read from several ladies and gentlemen cordially approving of the project, aud resolutions were passed to the folio wine effect: -'That ll is desirable that an Institution should bo established for jvornen which should provide them with the advantages generally found at working-men' clubs, such as the means of recreation, society and mental im provement; and that a provisional committee be appointed to make inquiries as to the best mode of carrying out tho project, and reporting the result to a fu ure niceiiuK of those who may be inclined to support the undertaking," LORD 'BROUGHAM. Tha Authorship of tola Autsblograptoj. The London Express says: "Soon after tho discussion commenced concerning Dr. Cauvin's claims upon the manuscript autobiography of the lute Lord Uroiiirhum, we expressed a de cided opinion that the work in question would never Bee the light in its present lorm. There were valid reasons we muted unuinst the fitiblicatiou, aud it needs no special kno edge to divine what these are. His late loulshlp was too vigorous an opponent aud hPld too strong opinions to iunke It expedient to publish his private view tipin his colleagues and contemporaries while so many are alive to be pained at his outspoken nets. A i-olicUors' dispute now going on In the 'Jimes only touches upon Dr. Cauviu's original share in preparing the autobiography fur the press. On the 18fh the advisers ot tho ltte Lord i'.rouiiham contiadicted the Times report that 'certain letters ami papers were entrusted to Dr. Cauviu by Lord Brougham, tor the purpose of writing an autobioeruphv of his lordship,' and insisted that the Doctor's duty wai one of 'airaneement' only, coupled with an express Injunction that he was to write nothing Dr. Cauvin's solicitors reply with the following ex tract from a letter written to their client in November, 18GG, by the present Lord Broughim: "Three gentlemen have read the MSS., viz: Mr. Henry Ree ve, Mr. El win (late editor of the Quarterly), and very recently Mr. John Foster. Ihey all agree lu opinion, In which I entirely concur, that the M8. will require great and very careful revision, and, abve all, arraugemeut, belore it can be sent tj the press. Mr. For-iter was here lor a week last month for the express purpose of reading the MSS.; aud, while ho per lecily agreed with me that il possible the actual publication ought to be deferred nil after Lord Brougham's death, jet he was most decidedly of opinion that it oulit to bo revised and re arranged while ho Is alive, in order taat, altera tions and corrections may be adopted by him, and that 6uch information which tho ruviser may require may be obtained from Brouuham's ownlif s. Of course you will understand that tae book will be published as Lord Broug ham's autobiography as his biography by him selffor which leason we are so desirous that any recastine or material alterations should be prepued in his lifetime and submitted t him. "The 'very carelul revision' and the 'delay in publication' both point, if our theory be correct, to the piquant character of these memoirs. Lord Brougham's well-known opinions: the fact ot his beine actively engaged in the most stirring party conflicts of the country; his relations with the reat liberal leaders; his attitude when first let loose upon the House of Peers; his fierce indignation at what he regarded the political and social iufamiei of his time would com bine to make his genuine autobiography a literary curiosity. Shall we ever see it, or will it be io pruned down and modiuod as to be genteel and colorless paraphrase of what tho real man said ?" POVERTY. Am Old 21am Robbsd of bla Fortume by nia Ctitldrea. The New Orleans Picayune, of Aue. 1, says: Those who have been around the Central Sta tion lute at niht, have doubtless observed an old man, diguitied iu appearance, and evidently simerior in snon anr.'J.'UndingS. Who for Some time past has been seeking loo'gJnea there, He nils ii Hirdiine iiismry uui uuu uu experience in lite that possesses the singularity of romauce. Belore the war tie was a punter in Texas, and possessed of immente weulth. His deposits in the Union Bank of this city at one time reached $80,000 in gold. His landed estate stietchel over leagues ot territory, and more resembled a German principality than the possession ot an Americau planter. His home stead was the seat of case aud opulence, aud a family ot children added interest to his house, anu gave an incentive u me accumulation ot wealth. On the breaking out of the war he Went to Europe; but before leaving he made his vt 111 and executed papers which placed hh pro perty in the hands of his son aud son-in-law. ibis was done that in case of his death there should be no trouble about the distribution of his estate. At the cud ot the war he came back : but his absence had given to his children a control of wraith they did not mean to surrender. They refused to recognize him, or permit him to have even a pittance with wuicti to support lite. A difficulty occurred between him-elf aud son. in which the latter was shot in the arm and dangerously wounded. So exasperated wa the outraged parent that he even expressed his regret that the life ot his offspring had not been sacrificed. He finally came to this city and in stituted legal proceedings for tho recovery of Fome property which ho has in this State. Pending the slow developments of the courts, without money and without friends, this old mau, nearly eighty years of age, is compelled to seek shelter at the police station, while a d-uig ti ter of his, residing in a princely mausion not a dozen squares away, enjoys every luxury that immense wealth and unbounded resourced can secure.
