Thenitts Article.
Rood did not write much for Punch. In a
former article we gave a list of his contrib.'s
tions. ip the "Memorials," under the year
1842, his daughter writes thus c "It was some
time early, hi this year that my father made ac
quaintaneemith the first number of Punch.
Ho walked out with me ono line Saturdayeve.
:sing till we came nearly to Walworth. It was
getting rather dusk, so that the shops were be
ginning to light up. On ono side of the street
a man was standing by a little table, with a
Chartist petition lying on it for signature, to
which he was drawing the attention of the
passers-by. He accosted my father, to his no
small amusement, hut as a rough-looking mob
Were gathering round, and it was getting late,
he would not stop. We accordingly stepped
aside into a little bookseller's shop, till the
crowd had abated, or passed on. My father
turned over the papers and periodicals lying
on the counter, and struck by the quaint little
black cuts, picked up the first number of
Punch, hereafter to be so famous. It was
then, I belbste, ill very different hands, and
my father was no little astonished to see his
own name paraded in it, in the coolest man
nor possible, without his having oven known
of the existence of such a periodical."
In the same number of Punch, (Christmas,
1848) which contained The Song of The
Shirt, was another poem by Hood which did
not attract so much attention as it deserved.
Wo copy it here :
THE PAUPER'S CHRISTBIA4 CAROL.

With a sigh or with a tent,
flood knew nothing of America er the Ame
ricans, though ho could count admirers almost
by the million among our people. He was
very anxious to read Dickens's 4 tAmerican
Notes," chiefly to review them early in the
New Monthly Magazine, which he then edited.
By the way, literary aspirants who expect to
coin fortunes out of their inkatand 'and brain,
will be shocked at learning that the annual
sum paid to Theodore Hook, for editing the
above periodical, was only $1,500 a-year, and
that Thomas Hood, in the fulness of his repu
tation and the maturity of his mind, received
no more.
Writing to Dickens about tho «American
Notes," he said; "Do you want a motto for
your book 7 Coleridge in his Pantisocracy
days, used frequently to exclaim in soliloquy,
I wish I was in A-me•ri-ca I' Perhaps you
might find something in the advertisements of
Oldridge's Balm of Columbia,' or the Umeri
can Soothing Syrup'—query, Gin twist 1"
Ho added : ti I never had but one American
friend, and lost him through a good crop of
pears. Ho paid us a visit in England, where
upon in honor of him, a pear tree, which had
never borne fruit to speak of within memory
of man, was loaded with ninety dozen brown
somethings. Our gardener said they were a
keeping sort, and would be good at Christmas;
whereupon, as our Jonathan was upon the eve
of sailing for the States, we sent him a few
dozens to dessert him on the voyage. Some
ho put at the bottom of a trunk (ho wrote to us)
to take to America; but ho could not have
been gone above a day or two, when all our
pears began to rot I His would, of course, by
sympathy, and, I presume, spoilt his linen or
clothes, for I have never beard of him since.
Perhaps he thought I had done him on pur
pose, and, for sortie, the tree (my accomplice)
never bore any more pears, good or bad, after
that supernatural crop."
To Dickens, whose truo geniality ho ap
pears to have greatly admired, Hood wrote
many letters. Here, not long before his death,
is ono containing the nucleus of a thrilling
tale of horror and mystery :
"Your Cornwall trip reminded me of a romance
of real life, which I have heard, and may afford
yon a hint.
', A certain London architect was engaged to the
daughter of a wealthy market•gardtaer, near town,
but during a journey in the West of England was
smitten by the extreme beauty of a young lady
whom he saw eta first-floor or second-floor window
in a country town. She was the daughter of a
surgeon, and was kept a prisoner almost to her
chamber by her father. The architect, thinking
her ill-used, became interested in her behalf; then
desperately in love, and, forgetting his betrothed
in London, ran away with the Welt Country girl,
'and married her. It soon appeared that she bad
not been under restraint without lesson ; she was
a very pickle ; spent everything, end run her hue•
band deeply into debt, giving bin cause, besides,
for jealousy. Her husband ivisling for children,
she at last palmed off a baby OA him, which was
sent to nurse till about a yew old, when, as
the pseudo-father was passirg or going to
the woman's house, he heard her beating and
rating the little one very hirehly. He im
mediately went in and reprluanded her; when,
in the height of her passion, di lot slip that the
brat was none of his, and enbs t confessed,
in explanation, that she had teen bribed by his
wife to tend the child, but thatj the trick had been
on
off long enough.' Othethints induced him,
OD his return home, to search ifs wife's room for
letters; instead of which, in z drawer, he dis
covered a tall suit of widow'e , weeds, (new,) and
naturally inferred that he war to be got rid of by
poison. Ile accordingly tumid off his wife, to
whom, perhaps, he made no ellowanoe of money,
or probably she became ntely abandoned, for

• Of children he was very fond. Here is a bit
of a letter, written a few months before his
death, td a little girl who had gone to spend
tho summer by the sea-side:
"I remember that, when I saw the sea, it used
sometimes to be very fussy and Ildg.etty, and did
not always e wash Reel f quite clean; but it was very
fond of fun. Have the wave, ever •run after you
yet, and turned your little two shoes into pumps,

If you want ajoke you might push Donnie_ into

family. Did You ever taste -the sea-water? ' The
Sebes are so fond of it theykeep drinking it all the
lay long. Dip yourdittle Boger In, and then auk
to see bow it tastes. A glass of, it warm, with
sugar and a grate of nutmeg, would quite astonish
peal' The water of the sea is so saline z wonder
nobody catches salt fish in it. I should think a
good way would be to go_ oat In a better-boat,
with a little melted for lance., ,Have.Yolll
bathed yet in the' sea, - mid - nate' yen afraid?
was,. the Aral time;-and the time before that' and
dear me, how I kicked and screamed, -oroit least,
tnevit to scream, but the sea , ships and all, began
to ran into my mouth, and so I shut it up. I think
I seasons being dipped In the sea; screwing your
eyes up, and putting your area, like a button, into
your month, like a builciti-hold; for fear of getting
another Swell and taste!. PO the bye, did you over
dive tour head under water with your legs up in
the mr like a look, and try whether you could cry
' Quack ?' Some animals can I would try, but
there is no sea here, and so I am forced to dip int*
books. I wish there were sub nice green hills
here u there are at Seagate. They mustbe very
Moe to roll down, espeoiatly if there are no furze
bushel to prickle one at the bottom !"
His deatitOike his life, was admirable. He
said to his children, iilt's a beautiful world,
and since I have been lying here, I have
thought of it more and more ; it is not so bad,
oven humanly speaking, as people would make
it out, I have had 'some very happy days
while I lived , in it, and I could have wished to
stay a little longer. But it is all for the best,
and we shall all meet In a better world."
From his daughter, too, comes this testi
mony, "As a little child, my fitat prayer was
learnt from my father's lips, and repeated at
his knee ; my first introduction and_
the Bible,
which he honored too much to make a task
book, was from spelling out the words of the
first chapter of the Sermon on the Mount as
it lay open on his study table ; my earliest
lessons of the love and beauty, hid in every
created thing, were from the stores of his ob
servant mind; and my deepest and holiest
teachings, too sacred for More than a mere
allusion, were given ofton in the dead of the
night, when I was sitting up, :sometimes
alone, by my father's dying,Atid. Those
are strong words; and Acts, but they
. are
called forth not". unnecessarily, by the
impression that exists, not in one instance,
but in twenty, as to my father's disbelief
and scepticism, a doubt that will now be
surely sot at rest forever by the simple and un
varnished truth of those who knew him longest
and best. True, ho warred against the pro
fessedly religious (when they assumed the mere
garb of piety, instead of charity, to cover a
multitude of sins,') because any thing false or
hypocritical jarred, like a discordant note, on
his sense of right. But his voice was always
uplifted in the cause of the poor and needy ;
and When, as we are told by words that cannot
deceive, the merciful shall inherit a blessing,'
his earthly errors and tailings shall receive that
mercy h4nover failed to show to others."

court purposes in the buildings in Independence

be postponed for a quarter of a century.
The room now occupied by the Receiver of Taxes

the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, which two courts
are held in the same building.

Morresvondenaa of The Frew]
, " PRILADELPTITA, July 30, 1880.
It seom3 a Pity that a spot so beautiful as Ores.
eon, and surrounded by such a combination of ru
ral and grandly plajuresque attractions, should,
through the want of proper management and axe
cutite control, become a point which the traveller
• and pleastire-seeker would rather avoid than seek.
The original intention of the far-seeing and philan
anOple men, W/o planned the " Allegheny Moun
tain Health Ina Huta," Wes, as the language of the
atwitter granted by the State Legislature evidently
contlibis, to establish a sanitary mountain-resort
where the invalid and toil-Worn citizen might re ;
pair to drink in from the braising air of the moun
tains new draughts of life, and to temper all with
the higher and more esthetic) gratinoatlone of books
and literary pabulum. The mantis, controlling
idea of the organization, which, under the title
nanied, has expended over one hundred thousand
dollars here, Was to Blake the Mountain an }Esau
lapian agent in renovating and strengthening the
life-forces a:banked by the endless wear and tear
of city life. Leant of all, wee It ever intended to

pose gtior oorkkeepplited of erecting wooden bar
rittikkroP Aie'sole end of gastronomic' stuffing and
drenching, and thus perpetuating the very evils
which cause people to fly from the avenues of the
city. .
But t as often happens, the wisest of directors
sometimes commit exrdrs—since, to err is human—
and, in the present oat°, the benignant plane first
conceived w by the founders of this moon fain-home
have been completely frustrated. The mistake com
mitted by the managers of the Cresson Health Insti
tute is'entirely to the credit of their better nature,
and indicates how far confidence may sometimes
go, and at the same time be egregiously deceived.
With a view to protect the interests of the lessee,
and to Incite to a worthy 00-operation in making this
point an every way desirable resort, the whole pro
party, consisting of three hotel-buildings and en
extensive livery-stable,was let to hlr.Wm. H. Camp
bell, of the Si. Lawrence Hotel, of Philadelphia,
under an arrangement by which the amount paid
for rent should be a certain percentage of the
prate.
With a liberal pulley, this plan might work well;
but in any case where the profits are made to out
weigh the thought of giving personal satisfaction
to visitors, only ill can result. The temptation of
fered under such circumstances, is to charge high
for regular board, to' add any amount of mimes.
sary extras, and generally to cater on the very
strictest economical principles. Where there is a
limited disposition to oblige, and where the chief
aim is to make the largest amount of money with
the smallest amount of expenditure, it would be
folly to look for any extraordinary amount of cour
tesy, or any overwhelming supply of the most or
dinary politeness.
By way of illustration of these general views, let
me give you some simple feats: On Friday of last
week, I visited Cresson, in company with my fa
mily, and a friend, whose soleatifie reputation and
genial urbanity aro proverbial in Europe as well as
America. On our arrival, which was at nine
o'clock in the morning, we entered our names on
the register of the Allegheny Mountain Hotel. As
we did not template staying over night, we
were eententWask for a single room for the ladies
of the party. After spending an louver more chat
ting in the hotel-parlor,_beelog - observed in the
office of the hotel a conspicuous placard, stating
the feet of a livery stable being on the premises,
and that carriages oculd be obtained at all hours,
we engaged a hack to carry us to Altoona—a dis
tance by the road, as I stated to the carriage-man
(an Irishman, rejoining in the same name as the
" Benicia Boy") of some twelve miles. The price
asked was seceded to without any demur, and, af
ter the engagement was made, our party concluded
to make a visit to DLit. M. S. Jackson, the cele
brated author of "The Mountain," who resides a
short distance from the hotel.
Before leaving tho house, I mentioned, casually
to the landlord, that we were going to sae the Doc
tor—though not a word was said of any intention
on our part to dine anywhere el.re than at the heti!:
We returned from our 'visit fast ae the bell of the'
Mountain 'louse was summoning the guests to din;
nee. On entering the dining•room I was distinotly.
3r, .- that there were.no places-
supposed that the usual entry Tit i7r7!
regiater legally entitled travellers to at least the
chance of a meal.
It was in vain to remonstrate. The only reply
from the landlord was, " You can wait an hour, till
everybody is done dinner, and we will try and do
what we can for yen. I presumed you had gone
elsewhere, and I gave directions to the steward to
provide no meals for you." This was delicate and
exquisitely generous, as any hotel-keeper " who
knows how to keep a hotel" will allow. Bat the
simple fact was still farther aggravated.
Anxious to get clear of such inhospitable pre
mises as quickly as passible, we sought the hack.
driver to carry out the engagement made in the
morning. lie refused positively to comply with
his own voluntary offer; and, as if by some sort of
tacit understanding with other parties, declared
the bargain was at an end, and that, in my stating
the distance to Altoona, I had been guilty of lytng.
Re indulged in- all the rich resources of mild lan
guage, of which hack-drivers, as a class, are pro
verbially affluent, by way of accompaniment to
hie rex:al.:titration. Re swore, point blank, that be
wouldn't budge an inch. Supposing, from the
placard in the office, that the lessee of the hotel
had some control over the carriages and drivers,
and judging rightly,that he awoke to have, I ap
pealed to, him to give us justice. The landlord, in
a torrent of words which, for elegance of startling
expletives, suited well the efforts of the hack-dri
ver, disclaimed all authority over the party In
fault; tating that, if people were foolish enough
to engage 'carriages on his premises, they must
take the consequences of their folly, and do as they
pleased about it!
In this way we were done out of both dinner and
of our earrlage. The landlord, to complete the de
nouement. of gentlemanly treatment, begged no by
all means to "go wherever we pleased to got some
thing to eat"—that " he had nothing for ne"—and
that " if wo teit disposed to complain, we might go
ahead, and orack our whips as much as we
pleased."
I write to you, Mr. Editor, to know whether
guests have no legal rights in the promisee, and
whether the regular entry of a guest's name does
not entitle him to the mai meals of the house?
It is hard to imagine that in any hetet in the coun
try, atoll of the Cresson House, the larder would
be co meanly provided that there would not be ae
commodatlons for ai.v extra. guests. And certainly
it must be a novel idea, outside of Cresson, that
travellers, on arriving at a hotel, and the only
hotel ht the place, moat leave word if they intend

Notwithstanding the nonvarival of the 'gold
public functionary" at this once-favorite Pennsyl
vania resort of his, you must not suppose that we
are without our usual quota of distinguished vi
sitors. By the way, the emcee of the President's
absence furnishes oneof the leading themes of coin•
went, the popular conclusion being that, having
had such a chilly reception last year, he was either
ashamed to make his appearance this, or else has
taken this method of showing hie disgust for every
thing that is Northern, in places as well' as men.
So far as localities are represented here now, Bal
timore is in the ascendant.
The elite of Baltimore society are here in num

in the land; instance Miss Moll., Miss M—e,
Miss S—r (a relative of Senator Sumner), Mies

intern), Miss G-11, and others. lion. Carroll
Spence, ex-minister to Constantinople, and his
lady, are also here.
Among the Pennsylvania notables sojourning with
us, are Mr. McPherson, (member of Congress from
this district;) ex-Copgressman Gilmore, with his
estimable lady; Judge Thompson, of our Supreme
Bench—son, and highly accomplished daughter;
Judge Sharewood, of the District Court; ex-Gover
nor Johnson, wife and daughters; ex-Treasurer
!dogrel!, wife and family, and others. .
Philadelphia is, of course, creditably repre

gence Mrs. Vansycle and her amiable daughters ;
Miss' V. and Mrs. Snyder ; Mr. and Mrs. Sala,

Lettei from Cape May.
(Cerreseondeneiof The Frew)
tiara linear., N. J., July 30, 1860.
The bathing season at Cape Island (morelvpular
as Cape May) may now be considered as at its
beignt For the last three weeks norms than 4,000
visitors have been here, and the tremendous rush
consequent upon the visit of the Great Eastern
baftlea anything of the kind ever known on the
Island. Congress, Hall and the Columbia House
as Is the case almost every season, are, full to over
floWing, and the bowling saloone and other depart
ments have now to be dispensed with for a time to
make room for supernumeraries. The depression
of spirits, and continual annoyances of summer re
sidence in cities, here Ind a healing balm in the
shape of sea-bathing, fishing, gunning, good
innocent games, - pleasant walks, literary and other
recreations, These may seem insignificant In
theruselies, but they make up the sum of life, and
are not to be enjoyed at every place and at every
season of the year.
Of eourse, the season varies according to the
temperature of the weather and the popularity of
the place ; and the season is not prolific to betol
proprietors but in the menthol of July and August,
when the arrivals vary but little in number. 're
wards the first of September the arrivals decrease
rapidly until about the middle of the same, whea
the season may be considered an closed. During
this period pleasure.seeking and recreation is the
order of the day, and beim and patrolling on the
eea•ebore are the of the night.
The principal hotels are Oongresi flail, (800,)
Columbia House, (500), 'United States; (400), Ocean
House, (350), Centre 'House, (350), Atlantic, Doh!,
(35t), and the National Ball, (300); the others..
accommodating from two hundred down" to fifty
visitors, are-many, besides the great names-rho
reside in cottages and p . 3 *irate families.
Among the distiagaiified visitors up to this time,
I may mane Albert Gallatin Brown, of Mississippi;
James A. Bayard, of Delaware; J. 41. Ecocide,
of Maryland; John Robbins, of Philadelphia;
Alexander Henry, Mayor of Philadelphia; Wm.
B. Mann, Esq.; Mr. Swain, of the Ledger; F. W.
Grayson, editor of the. Evening Journal ; Miguel
A. Otero, delegate from New Mexiso; Wm. P
Preston, A. B. Abell, Henry P. Brooks, of Mary
land; Cornelius Wendell and Mej. Beale, of
Washington; Henry May and Robert C. Wright,
of Baltimore, and many others.
Calming's Express and News depot is as much of
an Institution here as Congress Hall or the Colum
bia House; and if Mr. Canning is not making a
fortune, he at least deserves one. The regularity
and despstoh with which he serves the newspapers
of the day is the praise of everybody who patron
izes him. The Press hart the largest circulation
here of any paper in the country ; the moment the
papers arrive from the, landing, the rush into the
express office is iramenie, and Porney'e Press dis

DEAR COLONEL: It la some time since I have
seen any communication from this place, and as
loosl patriotism and local pride are"natural, you
will exouse me for troubling the nunierons readers
of your deservedly tasseeseftil paper with a few jot
tinge.
For the benefit of those whom it may concern to
know, I will state that Hagerstown la the seat of
justice of Washington county ; that it was named
after a family of the name of Hager ; that it is
situated in a highly fertile section of the country,
mainly limestone formation; that it lies in the midst
of the great Cumberland Valley ; that the popula
tion is about the same as that of Carlisle or Chem.
beraburg, in your State ; and that there Is a large
infusion of the German element, both in the town
and the
.surrounding country—an honest, Indus
trious, frugal, and conservative element truly.
The valley in which Hagerstown is located is
well watered by the Conecoeheague, Antietam, and
smaller stream, all dlicharging their waters into
the Potomac, which separates our Commonwealth
from the Old Dominion. The North and South.
Mountains form the boundaries between our
county and Allegheny county en the west, and
Frederick county on the east. . Thalia mountain
ranges may be traced, by an observer 'Rationed on

One eau readily imagine how thoroughly the

that I make a brief sketch of it, 'ist communleated
to me by one of the examiners. There were aloe t
fifty lads who were desirous of being examined.
Of these, the 'teachers Informed the superintend

These six were therefore presented for the compe

boy in each of those branches. The answers were
generally given promptly and satisfactorily, the
inperintendeLt propounding such as were calcu
lated to test the memory, while Mr. Sickle. intern
gated on mittens designed to aapertain the strength
of the intellect. When examined in drawing they
were required to give practical answers by exhi
bitions of their skill. Some drew houses, some
horses, some ships; one boy drew a house, 'stream

competition was finished he remarked to Mr. /Re
