This wonderful book is descriptive of a voyage of 20 000 leagues UNDER the surface of THE SEA ! No one acquainted with Verne's peculiar and dramatic style need be told that this (his greatest book) is most intensely interesting. It lays bare the mysteries of the mighty deep—its sunken wrecks ; submarine forests; the grotesque, hideous and awful creatures who dwell therein; the beautiful coral caves; its treasures of gold, silver and jewels lost in Spanish ships of olden days. Yet so quaintly, and with such an air of candor, is the story told, that you can hardly believe that you are not reading a transcript from a ship's log-book.

Tlte Song of the Redeemed. Ten thousand times ten thousand sang Loud anthems round the th.rone, When lo ! one Folitnry tongue, Began a song unknown. A song unknown to angel's ears— A song that told of banished fears— Of pardon'd sins and dried-up tears. Not one of all the hu:venly host Could these high notes attain ! But spirits from a distant coast, Soon joined him in the strain, Till he who first began the song— To sing alone, not suffered long— Was mingled with a countless throng. And still as hours ar3 fleeting by, The angels ever bear Some newly ransomid soul on high, To join the chorus there. And so the song will louder grow— Till all redeemed by Christ below— To that fair world of rapture go. ye me, Lord, my golden harp, _ . _ And tune my broken vcice, That I may sing of troubles Exchanged fur endless joys ; The song that ne'er was heard before— A sinner reached the heavenly shore— But now shall sound for evermore.

One a:o. ie the secret of bueiaces arrange ments, aed net entirely conversant with business morality, would really feel very sorry at the failure of a banker or mer client who had long enjoyed the confidence of his fellows. In imagination we picture the man waking up some morning and finding hill:eel' . unable t) meet his engage ments, aid we fancy th..ianguieh that tears bin) almost limb from limb. Then comes the sheriff, the eviction, the givieg up of the gram) mauelon, and takiog of humble rooms, the humiliating search fa employ ment, and all that sort of. thing. That used to be the programme some years ago, hatit isn't now. Duncan, Sherman & Co. failed a few weeks azo, but there wasn't any anguish about it. They proceeded deliberately to shove out all the letters of credit they could ; they put acceptances on the market wherever is was possible; they gathered in all the deposits they could; they turnel over all their real estate to their fathers and wives, and then in the coolest and most dignified manner possible they announced their "inability to meet their engagements," and each member of the firm retired to his country seat. There ire hundreds of ruined men who had their all in the hands of these sharks, but that doesn't disturb the serenity of Duncan, Sherman, er the Company. Mr. Duncan has the grandest palace on Staten Island. His magnificent mansion stands in the cen tre of forty acres; and within that man sion there is silver-plate and furniture enough to buy a county in the West. The richest conservatories, the most delightful grounds, an array of servants, horses and carriages without number, all these things Mr. Duncan has always enjoyed and al ways will. If you should suggest to him that this place ought tq a be turned over for the benefit of his creditors, Mr. Duncan would laugh in your face. That isn't the way they do it. Ile has an income, fixed and secured, enough to keep up the estab lishment in the same hospitable manner that has always distir.guished it. How did they fail 't Easy enough. Their own money safely put away, they took that of the other people who placed it in their hand and speculated with it. Their speculations resulted adversely, and they went under. And, would you believe it, there- is but one newspaper in New York that dared to characterize this thing as a villiany—only one. On the contrary, they all cxpresssympathy for the firm ! There is little temptation to an honest life when the rogue gets all the sympathy. If swindled depositors would occasionally hang a scoundrelly banker, it would have an excellent moral effect on the business. JOHN MORRISSY, The pugilist, gambler and leader of De mocracy, don't prorse to be killed as easi ly as Kelly and the other Tamuianyites would wish. The fact is, John is strong er than Tammany. lie has an immense following of the lower classes of Irish and Americans, and he can control more cau cussess than any man in the city. With this strength at his back, John objects to being counted out as a man of no account. He wants his say in matters; be wants his share of the offices; he wants his dip into the Treasury ; in short, the short-haired John wants to be a leader of Democracy. So when Tammany struck him, he struck back, and Tammany was astonished at the force of the blow. As the Democracy are very likely to be split, there is a remote possibility that the Republicans may get control of the city at the next election. I say remote, for somehow the many fac tions of the Democracy have a trick of coming together when the spoils are in dan ger. But let us hope that their ~ angry passions may be aroused sufficiently to en able the decency of the city to have a show. is still wretchedly dull, and there are no signs of its being any better in the fall.— In fact, business men have given up the idea of any decided change till next year or at least till after the present crop is harvested and marketed. By that time they believe the stocks on hand will be exhausted and that exchanges must com mence again. They are encouraged some what by the later reports from the country. Despite the terrible rains, the average pro duction will be good, and there will be a fair European demand for it. So buoyed up by hope, they are all taking in sail by 7educing their expenses and holding on till the good times, so long looked for conic to them again. Heaven send that POLITICS AND BUSINESS. they may nc,t be too long in coming, for The city takes a very lively interest in a most terrible experience the business of the Ohio election, because of the peculiar the country has gone through for three position of the parties.

True, a rise helps them but as he is a merchant and not a broker, he does not want his trade affected by causes which he neither understands or can in any way control. If the business men of New York had their way Allen would be beaten by 100,000 majority. THE HOSPITAL BARGE OF ST. JOHN'S GUILD, Mention was made last year in these let ters of the excursions for sick children, sent out by the active and wise charity of this noble - association. Thousands ofail- ing infants and their mothers twice a week went out in the bay in the steamer chart cred by the Guild, and the days spent in cool pure air, away from the fetid, stifling dens they inhabit, were the only things that stood between these little lives and death. The statements of the health officers show that the decrease in infant mortality among the poor is no imaginary result of sentimental charity. Probably twentyfive per cent of the sick children reached by this aid owe life and health to these hours of pure air. This year the Guild was able to own a barge, fitted up as a floating hospital with every conven ience for the sick, and every pleasant day it carries out a load of patients away from the heat and smells of the city int) the blessed coolne?s and brightness of the Gem). A better work, more truly becom kg the name of Chr'stian, was never done in our cities. It is much the fitshion to pity dwcllcrs in largo and crowded cities, but if interior towns would take the idea of similar sanitary measures, it would tell greatly on the epidemics which arc in creaiing weekly this fatal season. There is a bett , )r chance for the poor in New 391. k, Boston and Philadelphia today, with the close inspection of health officers arid sanitary rules, than in the undrained, untended outskirts of a manufacturing village, in shanties sandwiched between the wash of a stream, which is the common sewer of a township, and littered streets, odorous with garbage and Jamestown weed. By the way, it would have perceptible et= feet on the feycr and ague and the typhoid, that hold carnival this rainy year, if there were a general mowing of herbage, and clearing up of streets and waste places in rural towns. These things poison whole neighborhoods. NOME AGAIN The railroads are crowded with visitors to the summer resorts, driven home by the wet chilly weather. There is no fun sit ting on wet verandahs in the evening with a blanket shawl and overcoat, or shivering in vast damp drawing rooms, and dressing by fires while the rain pours against the windows. Rheumatism is too dear at $4.50 a day. The great desideratum, as the school mi ' iuns oil' duty always say, is not so mtich a co-1 place as a dry one, and a sunny one. The present is not a cheerful s , nson, looked at from any point. The cold spring kilied the cherries - and small fruits. It i 3 hot and rainy in town ; cold rid rainy in the country. The news in business circles is of such a nature a 3 to call for courage to open the evening paper, and the wildest prophet had rather bet on Tice's cold Christmas and October earth quake than venture to guess when trade will be better. WOMEN'S DRESS The difference in women's dress is a striking comment on the hardness of the times The trim figures in debage and plaid Oxford ginghams that fill the prom enade offer few of those gorgeous excep tions in lace and ruffled silk that used to make gay the pavement before the Fifth Avenue llctel afternoons. Money buys three times as much as it used to, but .where is the money ? Women look as pretty as they used to, even prettier.— The subsidence of the late extravagant styles of hair dressing and paniers reveals the fact that they were originally made with some attention to the lines of grace. But the heavy silks and overdress of lace and costly bonnets of marabout and tulle, and wonderful combinations of traiq, over skirt, and pouf that struck wonder to the heart of bystanders, are known no more, and as a result dressmakers are going out out of business by the score. TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY. Jay Gould, having gobbled the Union Pacific Road and the Pacific Mail, has swal lowed the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, and in paving the way to take in with it the Atlantic and Pacific, its only rival. The times we shall have with our dispatches, when the only wires in the country are under the control of the most. unscrupulous man in the country ! Heavens ! Low he will flay us'. Now, with the lines in active rivalry. telegraph ing is to some points not moro than l'our times what it should be, but when the op position is removed by consolidation, up go the rates to just whatever point will satisfy the cormorant. There is but one remedy for this, and that is the placing of the telegraph in the htinds of the Postal Department, just as the transmission of letters is and always has been. When Mr. Gould's plans mature, and he puts the screws on a little, possibly the people will see it, and instruct their representa tives so plainly to do it, that Gould and his ring will not be able to buy them.— There can be just as many reasons given why the Government should not carry the letter 3 as why it should not carry tele graphic dispatches.

The year 1790 was distinguished for the commencement of awe great revitab of religion in the west, which introduced the practice of holding 'eampmectings . ' in the United States. This work commenced under the united labor,' of two brothers named M'Obee, one a Presbyterian and the other a Methodist preacher—the one settled over n congregation in Sumner, and the other in Smith eanaty, West Ten- Lessee. in the year 1799 they set off on a tour together, through "thr Bo • mem" toward Ohio, and on their way stopped at a settle ment on Red river, to attend the adminis tering of the sacrament in the congrega tion of the Rev. Mr. M'Gready. a Prmby terian clergyman. The MrGhees and others preached on this occaiion, and the congregations were astonishly affected. Such was the movement an mg the people. evidently unt!er the impulses of the Divine Spirit, that though Messrs. M'Cready, 'loge and Rankin left tha henna, the 31% Ghees continued in their places. William M'Ghee soon felt such a power come over him that he, not seeming to know what he did, left, his scat and sat down on the floor, while John sat trembling under a consciousness of the power of God. In the meantime there was great solemnity and weeping all over the hon=e. Ile was expected to preach, but could not from ex. cess of emotion. The good effects resulting from this meeting. thus casually convened, induced the M'Ghces to appoint another on Muddy river. There a vast concourse of people assembled under the foliage of the trees, and continued their religious exercises day and night. This novel way of worship at tracted great attention. In the night the r elive was illuminated with lighted can dles, lamps and torches. This. together •brith the stillness':%lw night, the solemnity which rested on every countenance, the pointed and earnest manner with which the preachers ethorted the people to re peetance, prayer and faith, produced the most awful sensations in the minds of all pre:=ent, and it resulted in the conversion of not less than one hundred souls. A still greater meeting; of the same kind was held soon after on the Desha's creek, near the Cumberland river, at which many thousands attended. At these gatherings the people are described by an eye witness as falling under the power of the word, "like corn before a storm of wind," and that many, thus affects I, -arising from the dust with divine glory beaming upon their countenaues," gave utterance to (trains of ecstatic gratitude. In the meantime the numbers who attended them continually increased, drawn together by various motives—the desire of benefit, the gratification of curiosity, and some to arm themselves with arguments of resistance to their progress, but many of' those who thus "came to mock, remained to pray." - In ISOI the num!rrs who attended those which were head in Kentucky had become immense. At one held in Cabin creek, a Presbyterian minister who was present and took an active part, estimated the number at no less than 20,000. At this meeting the Methodists and Presby terians united their efforts. seeming to bear down all opposition. The scene is de scribed as having been indescribably awful. Few, if any, escaped without being af fected. Such as tried to run from it Were frequently struck on the way, or impelled by some alarming signal to return. No cir cumstance at this meeting appeared more striking than the great numbers that fell on the third night and remained uncon— scious of external objects for hours togeth or. To prevent their being trodden un derfoot by the multitude they were col lected together and laid out in order on two squares of the meeting house until a considerable part of the floor was covered. where they remained in charge of their friends until they should pass through the strange phenomena of their conversion.— lint the great meeting at Cane ridge ex ceeded. The number that fell at this meeting was reckoned at about 3,000, among whom were several Presbyterian ministers who, according to their own con fession had hitherto possessed only a spec ulative knowledge of religion. There the former professor, arid the deist and the in temperate, met with one common lot, and confessed with equal candor that they were destitute of the true knowledge of God and strangers to the religion of -Jesus Christ. In emsequenee of such a vast assem blage of people it were impossible for one pers,:tn to address them ; hence they were divided into-) several groups, and addrelksed by as many different speakers, while the whole grove, at times, becsme vocal with the praise of God, and at others pierced with the cries of distressed penitents. A s before stated, the effect was peculiarly striking at night. The ranges it' tents, the fires reflecting lights through the branches of the trees. the candles and lamps illuminating the entire encampment, hundreds of immortal beings moving to and fro. sine preaching, some praying for mercy, others praising God, all presented a scene indescribably solemn and affect ing. These wectings soon spread through all the settlements in the west, and such was the eagerness of the people to attend that entire neighborhoods were forsaken and the roads literally crowded by those press ing fbrward o i their way to the groves As the Methodists and Presbyterians usu ally united in these gatherings they took the name of "general campmeetings." 411 P - Mixing with Strangers. The fact of tnixin.. , with new people. who have new ideas and new methods of thought, is very salutary. Always to see the same people, to do the sao►e thing. feel the same way, produces a stagnant coalition of th;. mind and heart that is very distressing to behold. There are thousands of individuals who might be greatli benefited by gettiTz away fron► home, only for a short time, to mix with strangers, and be touched with the mag netism of the great world as it courses ill its accustomed rounds. And there are mental and moral invalids who need the same change, to get their minds and hearts enlarged, and let in a little more of the lights of life. Outside influences are very valuable by healthful inlittences is early youth, sl that they can avoid the snares and pitfalls into which those that go blindly often tall.
