Evangelist cam Jones says that he has made between eight and ten thousand converts during tlio present year. This is a much better showing than Harrison's, considering that the latter has been engaged In tho work for somo twonty years. Jones avers, furth ermore, that nlnety-fivo per cent, of his converts remain true to their professions after his departure. This remarkable statement is discredited by the rival rc vivalist. From tho returns already In, it Is es timated that tho campaign in Tonquln cost the French $0(1,000,030. while tho wear and tear to tho naval forco are $0,000,000 more.

About one and a half miles west lrom the Falls, on the Canadian side, Is locat ed the town of Druininondvllle, where on July 6, 1801, between sunset and midnight was fought the famous battlo of Lundy's Lane. The old lane, which is now a well kept shady street, leads tho traveler up the summit of tho hill where was planted tho battery of the British. Ou ono side of tho street stands a high, rlokety old tower, and on the opposite) sldo tho old church, which after tlio battlo was used as a hospital. A grove of aged oaks Is still standing near tho old church, and under the shadow of tho massive boughs is seen the spot where on the day following tho battlo the bodies of three hundred and fifty American soldiers were burned, and Incredible as it may sccin the grass lias never grown upon tho spot since. Prom the old tower a beautiful view may be had of the surrounding country; and as 1 stand here overlooking a -scene of such grandeur and historic Interest, It is not ditllcnlt.for. the fancy to repro duce the bloody ilrama of that night It was not vet sunset when General Scott at tho head of the American forces marched up .from the river td -watch the movements of tho British who wero stationed at Queeustown and Burlln tou Heights, As he neared the spot lie was mddenlv confronted bv tha British under command of General lllall.

The report of his assignment tell on tno community iiko n uiuiuici clap, causing a sensation that would hardly have been felt If we had recorded the news that .lay Gould had been blown up on tho Atlanta, or Vanderbilt had perished in a railroad disaster.

Wallack's has hcen crowded for weeks. The production of "Nanon" lias exceeded that of any opera, comic or grand, over produced in New York, The first-nighters were out in full force; swallow-tails and whit chokers, decollete dresses and diamonds, Oil, myl what a sight It was! The audi ence was as much a sight ns the stage. and notwithstanding the hot weather they have crowded the house, and should not be surprised Jf the piece ran till next winter. Never was such galaxy of beauty on any stage before, 1 ho dudes that remain in town arc crazy, and 1 record It with grief the front scats aro crowded nightly with old buffers, tho tops of whoso heads aro as smooth as a skating poml. 1 suppose tliolr wives and families aro at somo watering-place, and they feci lonesome. Tlio plceo is certainly very nttiactlve. and tho music almost bewitching. The "Anna" song is heard everywhere- boys waltz to it on tho sidewalks, girls hum it on steamboats and railroad cars, old bank ofllccrs whistle it wlitlo porhij over their ledgers even ministers an deacons striko off into a doublo shuffle as they listen to Its magic strains. I havo nothing to iccord of tic churches, as most of them have clo-cil , their doors, and cobwebs have bulldcd their houses over tho keyholes and the porclie3. A revolt in the Kings County Peni tentiary caused quite a ripple In crimin al circles; but a stout rawhide adminis tered on constitutional principles re stored immediate peace, nnd I am hap py to record that order reigns In War saw. Nothing liko si cowhide for main taining order, 1 speak from experience. A schoolmaster who taught my young idea how to shoot, made such an Im pression on my mind and my jacket that I remember him with terror to this day. A little boom in stocks has varied the monotony of our early summer experi ences, I don't know tho reason of It, but the bears look mighty glum, All Wednesday New York awaited with painful anxiety the closing of ore of the grandest lives of'tho century; and when on Thursday morning the news flashed over the wires that Gen. Grant was dead, there was a burst of grief, un feigned and universal, such as I have not seen since Lincoln died. Gen, Grant is dead, "Xur steel, nor liol'on, malice doinchtlc, foifldi h'N'. . , . ., Nothing can touch him furlher." In thopresencoof'such a llfo and such a death, malice and detraction aro dumb, The American peoplo only re member tho great Captain who sudden ly appeared liko God's chosen prophet. In the darkest hour that this nation ever knew, and led her despondent and shat tered hosts to victory. Tho closing hours of that grand life, when borne down by grief and suffering such as seldom falls to tho lot of mortal man, stand almost without a parallel, Tho heroic fortitude with which tho martyr bore his grief and marched fearlessly up to the portals of tho grave, stamps him as among the noblest and the host that thU land has ever known. Tills gener ation will not look upon his like again. New York and Brooklyn are draped with emblems of sorrow for the nation's Greatest Hero. BROADBRIM, Total tVSS.U'J.SS State of I'cnntuhanla.
