It was awful; In general affect It was equal to the April blizzard. It Is tme coal did not go up, nor havo provisions grown scarce; but It was that kind of weather that made one feel as If he would not care a pinch of snuff If all the provisions in the world were destroyed) and a Mlnncsotta blizzard In December was his highest Idea of Paradise. In a single ward In New York seventy thousand people aro hlyca. The burning misery of this seething district has never been fully told.

On these hot nights they are them to Mrs. Stewart, with seven per cent. Interest on tlio money. Could anything be moie delightful or thrifty? Thrco millions Is rather a large sum for a single Woman to spend In thrco or four years, -and soveral millions of her own money besides. But there Is tho account, Bnd "What are you going to do about It?" Some of tho old ledgers aro destroyed, and dead men tell no tales. I supposse It is tho samo of dead women.

Every annual Conference In which these deacon esses are established will havn a Board of nine members W control this kind of work.

Then there is the Lady Snake-charmer, and the calf with two heads, and the Fat Woman, the White Elephant, and the Tall Tower, and other delights too numerous to mention. But with thes alluring attractions comes the festive ptck-pocket and his nameless friend, who do not by any means add to tho attractiveness of this otherwise lovely spot.

Special to tho Carbon Advocate. OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER Philadelphia Pa., June 20. '88 Handsome and good-looking George W. Esscr, of Mauch Chunk, was seen prome nading Chestnut street during the week. Nono of tho many pedestrians upon this famed street surpassed, in appearance, Carbon's genteel Prothonotary. By the way, Is Georgo going to .have auother term? Ho looks eyery luch as though he were capable to pet In another three years of court duty. And reasoning at this distance It seems that it would be the wisest and best thing the Democracy of his bailiwick could do for the people. A good, efficient official Is something the public admires. The "Permanency of Democracy" Is a pleasing theme. It contains and possesses hallowed recollection; the principles and virtues underlying It relates to the national liberty and lndependcnce,not In a prcyertcd but In a broad pacific spirit, of tho people. Because this has been so logically demonstrated' and made so plain by ye edi tor of tho Advocate In a recent Issue of the Hazleton I'latn Speaker, we extend adequate compliments. ulve us some more, George. There Is Joy In the camp of the base-ball cranks. The' Association and Lcaguu at the commencement of tho season had put the tariff on rather high charging fifty cents for the privilege of seeing a perforin ance.

TO THE KniTHR OP THE Advocate: -Now that both ot thegrcnt "National Conventions have completed their labors and the ineinberr ot Con gress have returned to Washington and resumed their ofllclal duties, a vast amount ot work Is be ing accomplished In ttie way of legislation. Of course tho tariff bill Is considered of para mount Importance and is receiving most ot the attention In tho House, of llepresentnt Ives, and Its discussion has been exceedingly Interesting during the past week. The several Presidential aspirants In the Sen ate have returned to their work and there Is nothing In the appearance ot any ot them to In dldate the keen disappointment which thoy doubtless feel over their defeat In the conven tion, excepting perhaps a look ot quiet sadness which displays Itself upon the countenance ot Senator Sherman, despite his efforts to appear unconcerned. Mr. Sherman had fully expected to recclVe tho nomination at Chicago, and pro bably none ot the disappointed candidates feels nls defeat more keenly than be. Gen. bherldan continues to Improve, though the exceedingly warm weather that has prevail ed of lato has been prevcntlnglilm from gaining strength rapidly, and It has been decided to re move tho Invalid to Nonqultt, Mass., where It Is hoped that he will be benefited by tho fresh sea breezes, and quiet of the sea-shore.

The torrid heat of the pabt week has sent people flying out of town by thousands, and the poor wretches, like editors, re porters and such folks, wish that, when 'they were selecting their respctlye lots in life, Instead of rushing Into a newspaper office they had studied for the ministry; then, In place of being sent off in July or August to report a prize fight, or describe a steamboat or railroad disaster, or a base. ball match, a grateful congregation would have mada him up a nice little putse of a couple ot thousand dollars, and baye sent him off to Palestine for his health, taking In London and Paris by the way.

At last justice over took her, and with States' Prison staring her In the face, while out on ball she fled to Canada; and the fun of It was that her ball was straw, and when her bonds were declared forfeited the Sheriff's return was "Nou cumatibus In swampo."
