It is propec to add that Kobert Weyh, Mr. Gore's clerk, has been more than two years In a drug store. Ho does not come within tbo disqualifying clauses of Ibis act. The mistake he made was not attributable to inexperience. He himself says he knew what he was about and what he was to get.

Probably having been moro thaD eighteen honrs on his feet had something to do with it. The quotation from tbe law is useful for the information of the whole community, however.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Last night the residents of Flatbush in the vicinity of the Park were kept awake by tho noise occasioned by the iucessant working of a steam engine. Surely alter a day of such intolerable heat as was yes tirday we might at least be allowed to have the needed rest at niebt. I hope tbat the Park Commistioners will cause the abatement of this nuisance. A Suffibeb. Butler's Opinion of Grant.

Bbookltn, July 25, 18T0. When Bochefort started his latest no wspapor he relied, largely for Buccess on its name the Marseillaise. After a suppression for several months for political reasons it reappeared yesterday, but docs not Boom to have made much of a seneation. Tho Frenchmen's "Marseillaise" is now tolerated everywhere, and Rochefort's falls into insignificance. In the face of the real work to which France now addresses herself scurrilous blatherskite beoomes of the slightest possible importance That it is vory hot in the city i8 a fact sufflciont ly apparent to tho senses of citizens.

That it is also very hot in tho country telegraphic records of the thermometer and lottors of newspaper correspondents fully prove. That there are comparatively comfortable places out of town may be true enough, but they are not the places where fashionable pleasure seekers most do congregate. The complainta which come from city Btreeta are not louder than the cries of distress which arise from crowded watering places. From this reflootion in town people may gather something of strength for the endurance of the torrid temper of the time. The art of interviewing develops slowly in Eu rope.

If the situation were transferred to this country, everybody who had any views," from Napoleon and Bismarck down to a Prussian or French corporal, would have been conversationally in print long ago. But thus far only the Emperor has been interviewed by a reporter of the London Telegraph and in a very unsatisfactory way. When ho represents Napoleon as making the very extraordinary statement that France was slipping from his hands, and in order to rule ho must lead France to war," ho shows just what tho interview is worth. of destruction has expended Its vlolonce, those who survive can repair the damage, and a new generation will soon have forgotten it. Not so with those who threaten tho life of the German nation.

The murderer of tho French Republic the man who swore to sup port the Republic of France. The man who has made a complete flaeco, tho man who has sent into exile the best French patriots, the man who is not capable of feeding 100,000 starving Frenchmen 'has concluded to wash out all his failures in the blood of our countrymon. Ho intends to send his starving subjects into tho verdant fields Of Germany, either to be fed at the expense of the industry of the German laborer, or by the valor of our countrymen, to be made to find a grave in the land tbey Bought to despoil. Hnntod by tbe victims of his despotism, Napoleon to day bas thrown off tbe mask he wore bo long, and shows to tho world his true face, and tbat his motto "Tbe Empire is Peace" was nothing but a wholesale deception. (Cheers.) Therefore the threat of war on the Rhine, and bo and his deluded followers cry "On to tbe Bbine." Tho German people never will permit this Corsican usurper to touch one of the beautiful provinces on tbe Rhine.

ThoBhoroof the Bbine, where Mentz stands, is ssored to every German, as the place where his forefathers conferred such a blessing to humanity and civilization, as the Invention of printing. It bas on its shores the beautiful Cologne, with its magnificent dome for all time to come a masterpiece of German Art, the place where our gloriooB Beethoven first saw the light of dav, and where our greatest historian Shall all this be surrendered to tbe greedy Frenchman? (Cries ot "Noin, nein," kc.) We are good citizens ef this country, but this shall not prevent us from extending oar Bmpalhy to our brethren who are fighting the battles of ci ilizotlon. The speaker concluded by reciting "The German Fatherland," as published in the Eagle a fow days since, and on taking his seat was loudly applauded. Dr. H.

Von Hoist followed with an eloquent and powerful speech, which raised the enthusiasm, if not before, to lever heat. Aiter tbe last speaker, Mr. S. 8tern, had closed, a collection was taken up, to which all bborally contributed. TRIBUTE TO LOUIS GRAUTEGEIN.

At ibe conclusion of tbe meeting a number of the officers met together and passed resolutions thanking Louis Grautoeein for the liberal manner in which be had decorated the Hall, and also "Chris." and his other assistants, for their efforts to insure the comfort of all present. Lou in made a reply in German, the concluding portion of which, from a simultaneous movement of all prtseutto tbe bar, was an invitation to drink, aid success to "Fatherland" waa given in many foaming glasses of Louis' best lager. greater, and ia apt to jbe somewhat less, than the ordinary expenses of city living. Board is not higher, as a rule, and the fere and aooom modationB, at least this year, do not justify the comical descriptions thereof, attributed to former experiences. Things are enjoyed that cannot be had for love or money in Brooklyn.

Among these are pure air, constant breezes, genuine milk, fresh and varied vegetables, and, above all, the felicity of bathing moihing and and as Often between times as one wants. Families that can avail themselves of these benefits of these luxuries which are also necessaries to health are indulging in very questionable practices if they do not at least give unto their wives and children the advantages of them. Of course, it is every man's own business whether he stays in town, or goes out of town, but there is no doubt whioh is the better to do, at least during this unprecedented Summer. If the "head of the house" can get away daily, so much the better. The places whereto it is best to go, are quite contiguous to New York and Brooklyn, and while business cannot perhaps be neglected, it is real economy of life, which is better than lucre, to knook an hour off each end of the day and thereby to come to and to return from work with, leaving and seeking the purer air and larger room of the sea side, respectively.

We are not sure that it is, on the whole, not better for a man in full health and activity punctually eaoh day to do his share of the world's work, rather than to vegetate for weeks continually, even if he can afford to do so. So much of and to those who are in the country. We are aware, however, that there are multitudes of all classes whom poverty, sickness, occupation and other causes keep per force in town. To them, other than sympathy, we can have very little to advanoe. There are some plain rules, nevertheless, whioh, if observed, will make us better able to endure this season of the torrid zone in our Northern midst.

A great deal of eating and drinking at thii juncture, like a little learning at all times, is a dangerous thing. Nature, which discharges more sensitively and rapidly now than ordinarily, will not be overloaded with impunity in these days. Of what is eaten, the character should be light and cooling, and the occasions regular. Vegetables are now at height. They are nature's contribution, and man's proper food, at present.

Tho only precautions necessary in their use is to see that tbey are fresh, or ripe as the case may be, and well cooked. Meats cannot, of course, be dispensed with, but fresh fish, and light broils or fries, will be found best to answer the vital needs of the body. Heavy roasts, almost solidified soups, corned beef, boiled pork and other imponderable food can be temporarily adjourned with good judgment. The heartiest meal of these days ought to be the breakfast. It is needed to make the strength for the heat and burden of the day.

Dinner and supper ought to be sparingly partaken of. "Early to bed and early, to rise," comes in most appropriately. One hour's sleep before midnight is worth two hour's sleep after midnight, especially during this weather. Besides, sleep will work off more exhaustion and put on more strength than any other remedial agent. No person need be particularly afraid of draughts at this time.

Doors and windows had best be all wide open in sleeping apartments. Those things of suffocation called window screens only keep good air out of, and bad air in, a room. If the flies must be fought, get behind mosquito netting. It is thinner and more ratified, but do without both if you can, and if the flies wake yon up in the morning, take the hint and you will be the better for it. All diarrhceal complaints should now receive immediate attention.

They may mean more than they seem. Amateur treatment of them, well enough at other times, should now yield to professional treatment. With such elementary care as is never prescribed under a judicious degree of occupation, and fortified by a cheerful temper, our can't get away clnb need not apprehend any more danger now than in mid winter. We all have the gratification, too, of knowing that every hot day is one hot day the less. A NEW TBIUMPH OF PEACTICAL SCIENCE, ALIMENT FROM THE BOOKS.

All the objections to the universal use i of the alimentary let. mosses as a portion of the dietary of the civilized world have, it seems, boon happily removed by the diaooverj of a new prooeM of tbem for furpoj There never was a time when the food question wai a mora vital question with tbe masses than it is now, and we therefore regard its dUcovery as particularly opportune, not to MTbPoriBb Mosi, or Carrageen, and the Iceland and Nor Wegian Mosses, have long been known.to contain larger aropuntof nutritive gelatine, in proportion to tBerjbuilc and weight, than any other vegetable produot of the ma or or land but tho seeming impownbiUty of entirely purtfyine them from all oxtraoeooa matter, and rendering um agreeable a an element of food, has hitherto excluded them, in a great measure, from our bill of fare.

Tbis can be effected with absolute certainty by a short ooursa of STAFFORD'S IRON AND SULPHUR POWDERS. Whether the irritating principle in the circulation be that wbicb einscs scrofula, salt rheum, scald bead, white swelling, or any ordinary cutaneous eruptions, tbe beneficial effect will be the same. Tbe sulphur converts the pungout and unhealthy eeoretions of the body into a gaseous form, and they are thrown off from tbe surface by the increased vigor imparted to tbe circulation by tho tonic action of tbe iron. Tbe morbid matter, which causes exterior inflammation is discharged through the skin and the cuticle regains its natural color and smoothness. Sold by druggists.

CONntAOTOES 8U8PIOIOU8LX 8AOBIFICING THEMSELVES ALL FOB THE PUBLIC GOOD.

"Publicola" calls attention to the curious oharaoter of Borne of tbe bids for Penitentiary supplies. He aaya In the bids for provisions for the Penitentiary, class No. 1, 45,000 pounds fresh beef, eight cents. Now the cattle to make this cost fourteen to sixteen cents. Now what kind must tbis be, iB it fit to be eatou? CIubs No.

3, 7000 poundB salt beef, best mess, three and a half cents per pound now thiB kind is quoted to dy at 19 porbbl.or nine and ahalf pounds salt porn, best mesB, at eleven cents; now this is worth tbirty one dollars per. or fifteen cents per pound to day. ClaBS No. 4, Cuba molasBes at twenty seven oents per. gallon, 1 know of none at tbis price to be had Qc for man to use.

Class No. 5, 15,0.00 pounds codfish, at three cents per. pound. Now a good article cannot ba naa unaer seven cents, Dy tne cargo. Every good citizen wishes tbe city to buy as low ub possible, but you may be sure that in these contracts, there is the largest kind of contraband.inthe fence, and I hope the iospector may look to weight and quality ot the articles.

The city, of course, takes bonds to double the amount of these contracts, and if its officers are bone3t it will meet with no lose. But it frequently happenBtbat honeat men iu their bids are interfered with by those who under bid and do not intend to fulfil. The hints and advice of this timely and commendi bly biief letter aro apposite. If we conclude that these contracts are not comical, then they must be tragic cllber to those who are to oat the supplies or to the pockets of the bidders to furnish them always provided there is not a cat under the meal. The Emjle's constant analysis of contracts and contractors has taken good root when it springs up in such letters as thoabovo.

If tbe market prices axe as much greater than the contract price, cs our correspondent states, the authorities would have been clearly justined in discarding thoso bids on tbe ground that the public government bankrupts no man who offers to serve it. It is probiblo, however, and we regret to say that if any party loses money on a contract it is not the contractor. This matter will be worth watching. THIS 18 VEBY GOOD. "Corporal T.

Kettle" wants to know why in these times ot general effort to keep cool and clean Why should peoplo bs oompellod to carry filth and disease about with them in the shape of a Union ferry ticket. TbeBe tickets arc never renewod as long as they will hold together. They are possessed by all classes, carried into all kinds of places, aud aro actually clammy with tbe filth of ageB that bas accumulated on their surfaces. They are taken from the lerry master iih a feliug of disgust and placed in tho pocket with fear and trembling. One package of tho above tickets is a sufficient guarantee to the possessor lor sixteen trips over the river, tho seven years itch and seven kiuds of lice.

So it has been and I suppose so it will be. One reason may be because corporations have no souls. Another reason may be becauso.the Uniou Ferry Company have uoproilts out qf which to afford olean and new tickctB. (This is Another reason may be because their economy is wholly for their own good, and does not include an economy of which tho aim is to commend themselves to the public and to lessen the public's inconveniences. The most likely reason is that Ferry Companies, and also banks, persistently issue and re issue their "notes" (which in ferry caBCB are tickets), till Ihey are unrecognizable aud pestilence breeding, and filthy in the extreme The reason is that they hope to save as much mouey as the loss or mutilation of tbeir issues will bring in tbe cases of peoplo who, alter buying them, will be too clean and refined to use them.

For instance, if a person buys a packago of tickets going across, and finds them to be a package of condensed small pox, he throws them into the river, wbereby the Company gains the whole price of his 10 remaining fares. Skinning a flea for his hide and tallow ia not more ingenious aud exquisite. This, too, by a Company that will have to pay no more rent for all its fianchises during the ensuing ten years. It is high time clean and new tickets were put in circulation. A PLEA FOB SHADE TBEES.

Eev. J. WlUetts is not to be allowed to write without exciting replies. His recent letters on ventilation in tho Eagle have bad ono merit at leost. Thoy have been on a subject which appeals to tho comfort and the longings of us all.

A gentleman takes up the reference made by the reverend writer to shade trees, and replies tbt reto as follows Do not trees principally absorb gases injurious to man, and reject those beneficial to man Take away the trees, and where would we find the "living waters" for whioh "we eompaBB hill and valley" for our use? Take away tbe tiees, and the country would more and more assimilate to an African desert. The pleasant and beneficial medium of just euough shade, and not too much, is difficult to maintain. Avoid extremes; but in avoiding the one do not tall into the opposite extreme, ptrhapsmore injurious. Tbat equilibrium which keep mighty orbs iu their paths, and tbe slightest departure liom which would turn into chaos tbis now beautl'ul Byslem of worlds, may well be loosed upon as an ever piesent monitor, reminding us of the dangers of extremes in all things, and to preserve our equilibrium by abBtarr.ing ironi extremes in small things aua great. If you doubt the meaning of Bev.

Mr. Willeits, Wdtah his course ou a hot Summer day. Will ho take tue sunjy side of tbe street, iaiiug with ecorchiug heat, or walk coujlortably under tue beautiful shade trees, which are surely not the least of tho beneficent gifts to man 7 By all means plant and preserve tbe tree, however inuch you may thiu out tbeir branches. Our impression is that tbe shade trees will be likely to remain. As things both of beauty and benefit, they confer more pleasure and profit than they dj damage.

Business exigencies have abolished them in many parts ol New York. We hope as much of Brooklyn as has them will hold to them, and as much of Brooklyn as has them not, will do well to get them. beegh's ADDBESS.

W. wishes to prefer could just as well bo brought in any Justice's Court in Brooklyn by herself, and ebe can Btop the cruelties to horses wnich she seoi, by bringing any policeman's attention to the matter. DID THE WHALE SWALLOW JONAH, OB VICE VEBSA The letter of a European correspondent of the Eaole the other day has offended a reader who, in writing, signs himself a "Parent." The allusion passingly made to the whale and to the whale's swallowing of Jonah, evidently sticks in the throat of the "Parent" aforesaid.

He says Very rarely havo we seonin print even in the secular press a paragraph so rtpiitsive to the sensibilities ot tho Christian purent as that which we subjoin, culled fioni theletier of "D.B.," which appealed iu yesterduy's ussue ot your journal, as follows: The second, third, fourth aud fifth days out several ecbco'B of wnales were seen, a sight which America takes iu with great enthusiasm, and tbe remembrance of which will be fresh throughout their lives.

Tbe first thing to be said on the above lettor Is that the "Parent" is not a "wo," and should not so wrilo himself down. A correspondent with a "we" is iu an awkward caBe. In the next place, what thinks of the whole Btory, aud what a "Parent" thiuits of the whole story, iB entirely tbo persoual business of each.

The Eagle speaks for iiself, and can be lolied upon ob perfectly orthodox. It is in order for to stale his whalo theory. It is in ordor for a "Parent" to stale his wtalo theory, It is not in order for either of them to assail the other on his separate whale theory. A "Parent's" plea is injured to tho exact exltnt to which be abandons his defense of the whalo story as told in the Bible, for tbe purpose of assailing The latter has as much right lo builevo iu scieLce as a "Parent" has to believe in miracles.

His belief oau bo arraigned, however, with propriety. Old Deacon SampBon, of Broi kljn, and of Dr. Van Dyke's Cuurob, Baid that he would believo tuat a herring swallowed Jonah If tbo Lord told him so. On the contrary, a negro M. E.

preacher of Washington was remouBtratod with ior preaching that Jonah Bwallowed the whih', instead of tho whale awallowing Jouah. He defended himself by easing: "De lust would be a merlcal, delist would be no niorical at all. My peoplo insists on de niciicals; when I can't get 'em, I mus' make 'em." Thus lolks will differ to the end of lime, Just as a "i'arejt" differs Irom That is no reason why either Bhould tako tbe other to task for eaying what he believes.

THE BROOKLYN GARDEN ENTHUSIASTIC FOR PRUSSIA, Speeches, by Gen.

Steel, Br. E. Barthel mess, Samuel Stern, and others. The Brooklyn Garden was tbe scene last evening of a ronsiDg demonstration of onr fellow citizens of German bittb, In favor of Prussia in tbo im pondiug war between that country and Franco. The meeting was projected only about a week since, and notwithstanding the shortness of the notice there was quite a largo crowd present, most of them prominent men bers of our, German society.

LouIb Grautegein, the owner of tbo Garden, with his usual extravagant liberality, had spread himself immensely in the decoration of the Garden for tho event, and it presented last evening a most magnificent appearance. From aide to side the ceiling was covered with the Prussian and German colors, intertwined in graceful festoons, wbile along tho wall were ranged military pictures of Prussian soldiers In every description of Prussian military costume, going tnrough the various drill exercises. At one end of the Garden a neat stage was erected and the front covered with tho German colors. At tbe rear two neat American flags depended, and on oither side, in large letters, tbe words "Waterloo," "Leipsic," and at the rear of this was a neatly curtained alcove, where refreshments on a liberal scale were provided for the speakers and gueBts. The most noticeable feature of the meeting, before tbe commencement of the proceedings, was the earnest calmness wnlch seemed, jo pervade all present, and tbo discussions were carried on generally with a noticeable absence of the gesticulations whioh usually mark the disputes of the sons of Fatherland.

Of course the English speaking visitor could not tell much of the nature of these conversations, but the words "Napoleon," "American," "LeipBio," be, easily conveyed an idea of its subject. A good brass band was in attendance and discoursed German National airs before the commence ment of the proceedings. Beside tbe Germans, there were quite a number of people of other nationalities present, who watohed with' considerable interest tho manifestations of applause made by the Germans as any of (he speakers said something more than usually trenchant, or severe on France. Onco about ibe midole, and also at tbe close of tho proceedings, the Garden was brilliantly illuminated with Bengal liu.bis. Captain Smith, of the First Precinct, was on band with a squad of officers, bat there was no need for their services as everything passed off in the.

most quiet and orderly manuor. Besido the prominent Geimans mentioned below, as comprising the officers of tbe meeting, the following were present Isa dor Nordi Daniel Bteckert, J. B. Sheiitield, Dr. Ponce VY.

Barthelmess, on taking the chair, thanked tbo meeting tor tbe honor they conferred on him. It would not bo nictssary for him to enter into a long speech, and occupy tbo lime of tbo meeting. Thoy all knew what bad called them together. They were about to be address! by uentlemeh and aulditrs whoso voices wero more eloquent and powerful than his, and he would therctore call for the resolutions. THE RESOLUTIONS.

Mr. 8. Schimmel then read the following resolutions: Whereas, Tbcimpendiug French German war hasbeen forced upon Germany by Napoleon in order to promote his personal interests, to prevent tho union of the German States and to conquer German territory; Whereas, By such an arrogance tbe most sacred feelings and dearest interests of the German nation are must offensively hurt Whereas, A lasting peace cannot be procured to Europe but by ovcrthrowina tbo Napoleonic dynasty: Wheieas, In tbe impending war the righteous cause Geimans on the whole globe, and calls forth tho warin ett sjirpatbics ior the old fatherland. Therefore, be it Resoh ctf, that First The GcrmanB of Brooklyn constitute a "Ger mau Patriotic Society" for supporting both tho wounded soldiers and the widows and orphans of killed soldiers. Second The President, Vice Presidents and Secretaries ol this mass meeting constitute the Executive Committee of said Society, and are empowered to tako such measures as are neceseary lor securitg the object mentioned above.

Third Said Execulive Committeo is directed to cause for such purpose collections of money to be made, the result whereof to be published. Fourth These resolutions shall bo telegraphed to King William "Tue Protector of Germany." '1 be resolutions were adopted amid loud applause, when Dr. Barthelmess attain arose and addressed the meeting. He said he desired to call the attention of bis beurers to the war of independence fought by this country. It was this country that first taught the world that true freedom freedom of speech and thought could exist among forty millions of people.

From America the German, particularly, would learn that even so the old Fatherland, so long divided, could unite nud hurl back to i is own country even to his own capital this upstart Napoleon. They would ni even rebt there, but would send this mau who was like bis uncle Napoleon just a3 ambitious, and just as careless about the lives of millions, to au island the same as St, Helena, where he might die with the knowledge that none mourned lor bim, but that the lives of nations cursed him for his acts. In 1818 wo wtie first taught the idea of a united Germany, and now again when this beloved land is about to boiuvadi ct by a foreign foe, it stands in solid lront ready, All party feeling has been thrown aside, not. alonu there, but hcie. No n.atler from what part of tho old country wo came, we aro ready to unite in oue immense brotherhood and destroy this man who not aioue seeks to trample Germany under foot, but all Europe.

Remember then that a new time for Germany has come, ic shall be as it ought to bo, tbo most powerful nation in Europo. Be ready then. Do not remain behind, but euppoit the cause. (Cheers.) Show by deeds that though your booy is boi your heart has not forgotten the Jauo oi jour birtu. (Cheers.) The gentleman retired amid immense applause.

SPEECH OF ME. KLAMROTH. Sir. A. Klamroth was the next speaker, and on coming forward was greeted with loud and long continued applause.

He spoke in substance as follows: Brethren of all Germany Never has so great an occasion called us together. The telegram has informed us that Germany is in danger, yea, I may say in danger being destroyed; and why and by whom Not by France, but by Napoleon 1 es, my friends, aad why does he desire war Bacause he fears Prussia, and because he fears for himself, his throne, and hia p'li. (Cheers.) This man must seek amusement for his people. We all know how he tried it once in Mexico, and how but one word of this powerful nation drove him from that country, in which he abandoned and deserted poor Maximilian, home to his lair. (Cheers.) Look back to Uermany in ISfili.

It was at that time a harmless enough country, but all at once Bifmnrek, that wonderful man, aroBC. Napoleon smiled when he saw bim arise in his might and power; he tmiled. for he thought he Bhould and would be destroyed, and heboid the disappointment of Napoleon when he finde that a maetor spirit has appeared. He smiled again, but Bismarck made him, that time. (Cheers and laughter.) Already ipo leon would like to havo taken a hand In tbe fipht, but Prussia was too quick for Mm.

She destroyed his calculations. He has ever since rested uneasy, and not alone he, but tbe entire French nation. It was growing restlesB and discontented. He saw the danger at home; an excuse had to be found a hungry country is bad at all times, particularly in France, Did be find a excuse You will answer, no; but he made it, and tn tbiB farce he is ruBbing to war. On this excuse ho is playing not alone bis cards, but also those of hiB son.

Napoleon IV. that is to be, but never will be. (Cheers.) And now about old King William, ho was at one time not a very great favorite of mine, but let us forget that, and remember that be is tbe first who has dared stand againBt Napoleon and Boon will this French upstart find Germany uniied ub one man. Tbe college, the worushop, tho jicb, tbe poor, ail rush forward; all are ready and anxious lor tbe light. Truly tbe proverb, "Wbom the gods would destroy, tbey first make mad," is but too true in bis case.

(Chetrs.) He will And that Germany to day is a very different country from what it ever has been. At Ibis hour, perhaps these two powerful nations aro engaged ij deadly war. Blood may already havo flown, and Germany to day is fighting not alone tor Germany, but ior all Europe. Then, my friends, arise. Vou also bt re in beautiful Amenca, the home oi your cholc, ami assist nub all your power tbe cood country over tho era.

You are not able to givo your blood, that belongs here; but with your prayerB, your encouragement, and your money, contribute so that the loved ones on the other eide S' al bo proud ot Brooklyn. Heaven will assist us, for our cause is just. (Applause.) SPEECH OP GEN. SIOEL. At (bis point loud calls were made from all parts of the garden for Gen.

Sigel, who was seated at the rear ol tbe Btaue. He then came forwaid and was received with loud applause which lasted for some minutes. When tbe applause bad subsided the General said, in substance Fellow Germans: To day a million of onr countrymen stand under arms to wago a war such as the wt rid never saw belore. The question then arises, "Can we assist them?" Not with our persous, tor indeed that belongs, not to Germany, but to this country; but we can bo of service in many othor ways, with money, with encouragement, with hope, and last, but not leot t. with praser.

Ineed not repeat to yuu what you know and have. been told here to nigbt, that Get many is in danger in danger by a man who honors nothing but his ambitious sell who swears by lhe Constitution, but to break it. This man desires to di strov, not alone Gcimany, but to conquer all Enr pe. 1Mb tor Ibis rdason we desire particularly tbe ejn patby of America. We have some right to ask it, for trom almoi the day it bcoameaccuntrytho German all tbe desire and pow er of his mind, aB well as his body, bas assisted In building np this magnificent Temple of Freedom.

(Cheets). Two hundred thousand of them were in our last war, and at all times did their duty to their new land. (Cheers). This fight In Eurrpe thall decide If Germany Bball be again divided, or if it shall stand a power in tbo land; and while Germany is fit 'h'ing for Germany, France is fighting for Napoteun. If France is deteatod, Nupnleon is destroj cd.

here could no worse crime bo imaginod than that of man who, having been elected by a free people to adminihter their public affairs ub Chief Magistrate, underlet to overthrow the Constitution of the country he hod worn to maintain. That crime hasbeen committed by Louis Nxpoleon, who, as a perjurer, had be como Emperor of France, by murderously, Iu the nijiht tinie, attacking the Legislature of Franco and dissolving it. For such a political and moral crime, there was no excuse. But that such ft inun could rule over France and. give laws to her, was partly tho fault of the French themselves.

Tbe Geimans possessed a different' charaoter. Hern tbo speaker gave some account ot tbe deeds and achievements of the Germans in ancient and modern titnes. He then continued by Baying that Germans would be met everywhere on the ol where olvilizor lion was found. The Germans were an educated and lieedcm lovltig people. The preBtnt war was an entirely frivolous one on the part ol it was necessity that Germany me nut ol it bb a great and free countt v.

Onlv if this wtre the case would the Germans iu this country bereBpected aBthey doeived to be, and no until then. The news telegraphed by tbe cable, tbat Napoleon intended to proclaim the republic la Europe, was nothing but a canard. A man who by perjury nad deBtroved a ripublic, would not be joined bymonlike Viotor Hugo, Garibaldi and Mazzlnl for the introduction ol a republican form of government. Napoleon was fipbting only ior tbe maintenance of his own power, and tor si curing tbe throne to bis son, not for the interest of the French people. The Germans, by acting unitedly, would become ireo.

TUis Paper baa tbe Largest Circula. tlon of Buy Evening: Paper published in the United States. Its value as an Advertising Blcdiuin is therefore ap parent. Prussia's Atflrmation of the Doctrine of Perpetual Allegiance.

Intelligence is published this morning which may have the effect of cooling considerably the ardor of onr German fellow citizens who are in favor of Prcsste in this war, because Prussia has executed, to a great extent albeit in a questionable shape the first desire of the German heart the unity of the Fatherland. Meetings of German born citizens are held in various parts of the country, to express sympathy with Prussia, to tell us what the Germans think of Napoleon personally, and to form societies for supporting wounded soldiers, and to aid the widows and orphans of those who fall in defence of Germany in the struggle. It must be his own fault if the King of Prussia is not well informed of these meetings and their results, for a score or more Germans have made known their existence to the King by telegraphing aoross the ocean the patriotic tenor of the resolutions adopted. It has not been contemplated anywhere, so far as we have seen, to send to Germany material aid in the shape in which it would undoubtedly be most acceptable in men. It is, perhaps, a sufficient explanation of this fact to say that it would be contrary to law to send soldiers to Prussia from here.

Besides our German fellow citizens the main enjoy life highly in America, and having cast their lot here, they are very properly in no haste to abandon (heir new and happy homes even to fight for Prussia. The Prussian government can have sympathy in abundance, and a trifle towards mitigating tho horrors of war to those who take no part in it, but beyond this the Germans are in no hurry to go, at present. German patriotism in America and especially in Summer takes the pleasantest shape. In a cool gulden, entrenched behind mugs of foaming lager, and inspired by the the music of "Was ist das Dutchen Faderland," the patriotism of the German is so seductive, that it is difficult for even those who fail to take any interest in a selfish war between one arbitrary ruler and another, to prevent themselves from being carried away by th? prevailing Germin enthusiasm. If King William was contont with the aid he is receiving from the Germans here, we would all be.

But the hard headed old King is not. Yesterday it was announced from Berlin, for instance, that the North German government had notified all Consuls of North Germany in foreign states, "to forward at once all Germans liable to military duty," paying their passage and furnishing them with such articles as may be necessary. The North German Consul General at New York, it is true, to day corrects this statement, but his correction only makes the matter worse. He declares that "all those who are under obligation to report for military duty, have to do so by their own means when public notice has been given of the mobilization of the that is, the Prussian army. "Those," he says, "who have come here under a misapprehension, and are "without means, maybe supported by this "consulate." This means, if it means anything, that the Germans who have come here, and have not served out the term of service in tho army due from every Prussian under Prussian laws, is expected to report himself for service in Berlin forthwith.

In other words, the German who labored under the "misapprehension" that he was free to go wherever honest labor was best rewarded, is notified to correct bis mistake at once by reporting himself for a term of service in the Prussian army. But suppose the Germans who are here do not desire to correct their mistake, what is the old King going to do about it The Germans who have left no property behind them are safe enough. But the affirmation of the odious dostrine of perpetual allegiance may give infinite trouble to a small class who have property in Gonnany, and to a large oIhts in Germany who have the use of property, which came into their possession with the cheerful assent of adventurous relatives who gladly abandoned their share of their patrimony, for the chances of making a better living in the Western World. This property will, it is asserted, be confiscated, if those in whom its title is, fail to render military service to the government. It was assumed that Prussia had relinquished the doctrine of perpetual allegience, and yielded to her subjects the poor privilege of transferring their persons elsewhere, but it seems that the treaty made with our Minister, Mr.

Bancroft, never quite clear, is now understood by Prussia to mean nothing. The affirmation of the odious doctrine of perpetual allegience at this time by Prussia will sensibly cool the ardor of the Germans here, but wo have no doubt the Radical place hunters who have been so intensely affectionate towards Prussia of late, will now come up to the Prussian measure of what she expacts from her friends, and will notify King William that they are ready to enter the Prussian army in a body. For Brooklj Hiies in and Out of Town. It is all well enough for those of us who are condemning in prohibited terms hotter than tho weather itself, thi3 horrible period of dire tropical days. Great is the suffering, greater is the inconvenience, greatest is the apprehension of both.

The temperaturo is democratic for once. Clinton and Fifth avenues are as desperately stricken with the visitation'' as are Furman street and Five Points. The rich and the poor meet together, and the sun is the torment of them all. There are compensations. It is happiness to know that Alaine is more melted than Brooklyn is baked.

At Lew istown, yesterday, five hundred miles or not much loss, nearer the North Pole than we are, a truly reliable thermometer registered one hundred degrees in the shade. The highest umbrageous unction which the mercury put on yesterday in this vicinity was but ninety seven degrees. Let us bo thankful for our three degrees less. We are entitled to all the comfort wo can get out of the fact. Wo earnestly hope that the reflection will carry as much comparative relief as possible.

But there are other compensations. In and around Brooklyn and New York, Providence has smiled on the lethargy of man, in locating sundry small towns, just big enough to bo visible to the naked eye, and destined never to become too large to bo other than rural, or to be marred by manufactures or vitiated by improvements. The lethargy of man aforesaid has kept up the country characteristics of these places remark ably. The bounty of nature has provided them with fresh air, diverting scenery, and generally washes the foot of them in the broad Atlantic, or in the equally saline waters of tho Sound, so called because no sound breaks the stillness of the inner sea. These villages of Winter monotony have become scenes of Summer excitement.

Tnither ward many hundreds of Brooklynites and New Yorkers have carried their better halvos. They, of course, necessitate tho presence of all tho children, and the children necessitate in very vivid senBea the care and presence of nurses. Probably fifteen thousand Brooklynites are now on tho North and South side of the Island. They carry Brooklyn "viaws" and Brooklyn habits with them. On any of the incoming boats or trains, an observer can note scores of Brooklyn beauties come over for the day "to shop," and hundreds of Brooklyn men with that staid, (sensible, considerate countenance which belongs to a denizen of this favored town.

These persons are sure to bear with them the influence of this locality. Into the slow life of the Island they are the fast fusing the activity and enterprise belonging to an urban education. By. their constitutional energy, they find more beauty, romance and grandeur crowning the hilla and wreathing the valleys, than many of the minds can perceive whose eyes have lined onfc the furrows of their farms for thirty yeara, Truly, "the hand of little employment hath tho daintier sense." The country has become "cityfied," thanks to the campaign of heat, in a marvellously short time and to a singular degree. We do a publio favor in stating that it is within the resources of any persons of ordinary cirenmstances, to avail themselves of these advantages ot health ana temper involved in a change of scene.

The persons who think that they cannot afford these trips, will do well to bear in mind that their round cost is not Ib the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The imbecile acte of President Grant, which have continued to follow in rapid sequence thus far during administration, have brought to remom branee the bold opinion of bim, given in a letter, three years ago, by General Butler, pending the nomination of a Republican candidate for tbe Presidency.

W. Neonah, Wis. Tire Canarsie lBla.ilroaa' Terminas at East New York. To the Editor of th Brooklyn Eaqte: 'lhe recent change of the East New York tern inns of the Kockaway Beach Railroad irom tho Metropolitan Hotel to tbejunoliou of A'laulic aud Alabama uveuues tScward House), has given rise to muA misieprt sentaiitm. The factB are briefly these: It has lor years been the policy of tbe different railroads in number terminating at EaBt New York, toget together aud lorin acemral rallioad depot, where passeugers and freight could be received aud delivered Irom ouo railroad to another with the utmjBt expedition, and with mt expense or delay This desirable arrangement has finally been consummated, one railtoad after another moving up to tho junction, 'lhe Canarsie road which receives must of ils passengers irom tho Broadway, Atlantic aveuue and Fulti aveuue railroads, would have extended its track lust year, but the difficulty oi securing the right of way pteveuted the Canaisie Compauy from realizing the btneiitB which wero eujoed by all the other roads ol tLe Certral Depot.

ThiB Spring Mr. P. H. Held, himself the laitttst lot owner, procured the assent of all the othtr lot owners, to lay a traok through Atlantic avenue to the Central Depot. Mr.

Keid proceeded, iu every respect, iu an open, legal and perlictly fair manner, obtaining net only tho assent of the lot owners but oi the town authorities. Against an improvement so greatly promotive of the convenience of Ibe traveling public, having the hearty and unanimous support of every one ot the Bix different railroads here, it would be difficult to suppose that any opposition could be raised. But a treat clatuur and opposition has been raised by Mr. of tbe Metropolitan Hotel and a few others interested in the old terminus. They say that Bcid has "ruined" Atlantic avenue by laying a track for the CanarBio road (alongside ot tho BrouKljh, Central aud Juuiaica railroad.

Nuw tucte is not one word oi truth in this statemeut. But why should tbo Van Sinderen Avenue Hotel keepers and lot owners be so anxious about tho ruin ot Atlantic avenue. Tbe Atlantic avenue owners have givtn permission and invited the Cau arsie Company to lay the track in front of tbeir lots. Why should Mr. Robert Smith and his party go intj such apassion to prevent tbe Atlantic aveuue oeoplo from being ruined? Among tho property owners who have given their assent to the Cauarsie railroad traclr, are Chas.

S. Brown, William L. Eichaidsjn, tne Wdluui L. Conant Estate and Mr. Charles B.

Miller. Now thf se poor deluded people have ruined Atlantic avenue and dou't even "see it" atter Bob. Smith has told them of it. Bnt suppose we take the Metropolian Hotel partial their word, and admit that Brown, Keid, Uicharti Ciunirsee liailrond ''have ruined At antic then, by every consideration for these grumblers, the Cituureie Kuilroad should not be permitted to go to its old terminus at the Metropolitan Hotel, as in that event Van Sindern uvenue would be orBO "ruined'' than Atlantic aveuue has been, the foimer being only half the width of the hitler. Atlautic avenue is in a bad condition through East New York, no grade having er been established.

It is now in the hands of Comiuissiouers wu will establish a grade and open out and gutter it, aud gravel the. roar bed. Tbe rights of the railroad companies aud the traveling public do not eouiliot, aud will all bu harmonized by the action ol the Commissioners The Cummissioueia uacu't pover to pave Atlautic avenue, but Mr. Beid, Mr. Miller and other property owner's between Von Sinderu and Alabama aveuued are read to put down the Nicolaou pavemeut, as B'mu as the Comu isBioners have done the, grading.

LOCAL PATENTS. During the week ending Jiily 19, very much fewer than usual of patents were issued. Either tho in ventotial mind was made Bluggish by tho hit weather, or the official personages of the Patent Office would uot hurry themselves iu such a tomporature or both.

As might be expected, he makes out a good oase for himself, and a correspondingly bad one for Sme dick. He says the police officer had persistently persecuted and frequently and cruelly beaten him, and that the lulling was done in self defense against a threatened attack. As Smedick is not now hero to tell his side of the story, Real's statement must bo regarded with a large measure of doubt. A sensational Cable correspondent says that Mr.

Gladstone, in tho House of Commons last night, referred to the alleged secret treaty "with pale face and hesitating lips." The British Premior iias been charged with quickness of temper and irritability of tone, but it is extremely improbable that ho would bo frightened from his ministerial propriety by a document tho authenticity of which was by no means assured. When wo roid further of the "grave urgency" of Disraoli and tho "unwonted thrill of sympathy of tho Housa, we aro persuaded that tho correspondent is softly gushing in a characteristic way, rather than that England is intensely alarmed. Burt is heard from. Temporarily repulsed, ho is not finally defeated. A card from' the English Erie Shareholders' Protection Committee hints at his probable return to thiB country, and suggests that ho went home only for reinforcements.

It is further said that "thoroughly competent pirtios'! are looking after British interests in Erio during Burt's absence, now competent the parlies aro appears in the fact that the Bixty thousand shares in dispute are in tho hands of a receiver wlvhliis equivalent to being in tho hands of Fisk. There they are likely to remain. If Burt or his representatives ever touch tho stock it will be whon the admirablo and ingenious process of injunction has lost its efficiency. Just now, when horses are falling sunstruck by hundreds, and when dumb beasts suffer as much as men from the extreme heat, tho ordor of Superintendent Jourdan, instructing tho policemen to aid in the enforcement of the law concerning cruelty to Bnrmals, is timely. Such an order is proof of the growth of a wholesomo sentiment of humanity or rather of the organization of that sentiment.

Cruelty has always been shocking to persons of real refinement and right feeling, but it is only "within a few years that opinion baB taken shape in efficient measures to prevent cruelty. For this Mr. Borgh deserves unqualified credit, and his services herein amply condone any mistakes ho may have made in indiscreet or over zealous action. In the prosecution of his assumed mission against polygamy, begun in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Methodist Church at Washington, and continued in the columns of that notably religious journal, the Now York Herald, Rev. Chaplain Newman ia about going to Utah to discuss tho distinguishing feature of Mormonism with Elder Piatt.

It was first announced that Young himBelf would tako part in tho debato, but ho subsequently transferred tho business to his subordinate. It woull bo difficult to conceive of anything more ridiculous than this proceeding of Newman's. Whom does be copict to comince by "the power of eloquence and the irresistible force of arguments and facts" with which he is creditod by his organ The Gentiles including for Una purpose all good citizens and socially respectable people of tho United States do not need to bo converted. As to the Mormons themselves, thoy aro so well grounded in tho polygamic faith that the chief sufferers by it, tho women of Salt Lake, support it in public speech, and when they avail themselves of tho recently granted suffrage vote in favor of it. Newman's interest in tho goneral and porpet ual crusade against unrighteousness must bo greatly impaired when he goes on an absurd raid againBt polygamy in Utah.

It is said that tho great AnglophobiBt, Senator Chandler of Michigan, was active in procuring the recall of Minister Motley, on the ground that tho latter was an "English snob" that he was on too familiar terms with tho British nobility, who are tho objects of Chandler's profoundest scorn, and do not take the trouble to reciprocate the sentiment. An English snob is bad enough, but an American snob iB worse. It was Chandler who visited Europe with a retinue of liveried African servants, feebly imitating tho manners and customs he is at much pains to publicly despise. No doubt Chandler expected to deeply impress tho Old World generally and Great Britain especially with a notion of the dignity and grandeur of tho American people. It is needless to say that ho wholly failed, and if his eccentric proceedings did not provoke expressions of contempt for the Republic it was because Americans abroad do not often behave in his ridiculous fashion.

Finding his proper level of pretentious nothingness in Europe, Chandler came home with a heart fuller than over of hotter indignation against all tyrants, and with intensified anxiety to cruBh the despotism of England. Whether or not Motley was a fit representative of the United States, Chandler's objections to him are tho least of reasons for his removal. Among the frequent types of tho groat unfinished is St. Paul's Cathedral. Not long ago an English mechanical journal called attention to tho fact that the underground railroads burrowing the city threatened the security of the building, which might bo finished, at once and forever, iu a sudden and unsatisfactory way.

Considerable alarm was created in London, and nearor home tho alleged danger was improved as a warning against such schemes as the Broadway Arcade Railroad. Tho peril seems to have pasBed, or to have boon forgotten, and now measures are taking for completing tho Cathedral according to the plans of Sir Christopher Wren. Mr. Gladstone has addressed a meeting in a speech in which he said that St. Paul's was surpassed, if at all, only by St.

Potor'B, and that if its design were fully carried out it would compare favorably with tho fam oub Roman pile, and bo indeed "tho noblestchurch of modern times." ThiB and other eloquent talk was substantially backed by the meeting in a subscription of about 150,000. The habit of leaving a work unfinished is a singular incident of ecclesiastical architecture. Some of the most splendid cathedrals of Europe are Btill incomplete. Others were completed only after the lapso of centuries. To liken small things to great, in this young country wo have yet to loarn the meaning of the term antiquity; but, relatively spoaking, our Holy Trinity was rapidly attaining a quito vonor ablo age in a spireless condition, bof ore cortain spirited citizens resolved to givo Brooklyn a loftier steoplo than it had over looked up to.

Completing St. rani's ib a job of far greater maguitude than completing Holy Trinity, and the English Cathedral will probably remain for some timo a type of the great unfinished. PERSONAL. Messrs. Bogart and Culyer, of the Prospect Park stuff, liavo been appointed tbo arcbltecta and consulting engineers of tho new Albany Park.

The Albany Argus says that "the ladies at Long Branch refuse to dance on (ho floor Willi the ladles of James Fisk, Jr. some of them have refused to dine at the same hotel, nud havo left tbe Continental. He proposes to set out an injunction," and, wo may add, nobody doubts that he can get one if he wauls It. AMUSEMENTS. Hoolbi's Opera House.

A Sensible Ietter Telling: What Kansas Offers and Does Not Offer to Skilled and manual Labor.

Correspondence of the Eagle. Leave nwobth, Kansas, July 20, 1870. Perhaps a few words from this flourishing Slate may not be uninteresting to your readers. At a lime of commercial depression like tbe present when every large city bas its thousands of unemployed workpeople, and other thousands of the trading class hardly making a living, tho only escape for these people from inevitable poverty is to seek Borne place where there is A WIDEB FIELD FOB THEIB LAnOB, and where competition is not present to crush tbcm hopelessly to the eaith. But it is well, wheuinsuoha position, to bear in mind tho old proverb, "out of tbe frying pan into the fire;" for when a man bas spent his little means in removing bis family to a distant region, in the hope of bettering his condition, and then finds dial his industry Is not adapted to the locality he bos selected, that man's mistake is indeed a serious oue.

I have long thought that Horace Greeley's indiscriminate advice to all bis unprosperous readers, to go West and escape the tyranny of landlord and employe is apt, if followed to any great extent, to indict as serious evils upon many individuals as those which he designs them to escape. Such a resort may certainly tend to relieve tbe dense pressure of crowded cities, but I submit whether this end might not be obtained in some easier way than the possible saorifico of the health, comfort and usefulness of those who are led blindly to follow such advioe. I live in Kansas, and therefore can speak of th ADVANTAGES OFFERED BT THIS STATE to the Eastern emigrant. Since the completion of the Pacific Railroad, and the opening of the Kansas Pacific branch through to Sheridan, an immense influx of settlers has been pouring into the West; and as KanBaB offers the advantages of cheap lands, fertile soil, and favorable seasons, this State seems to be attracting the largest share of settlement. Any person traveling westward over any of the trunk lines connecting with the East, cannot but be struck with the constant tide of population, composed of all nationalities, which is flowing in this direction.

And as but few of these persons return, His fair to presume that the large majority become absorbed in some industry, and either for better or for worse, make this region their permanent home. It should bo borne in mind by all who propose moving West, that HTEED LABOE D3 NOT TN DEMAND here. Wo have no concentration of capital our principal industries ore agriculture and commerce; we have no large workshops to absorb those who look solely to capital to engage them. There is Borne mechanical work pursued. The thousands who come here every Beason require houses to live in, clothing to cover them, and articles for domestic use.

To supply these wants affords employment for mechanics beyond doubt. But the work is all done in a primitive way. We have no heavy contractors who keep a force of hundreds of men at work during the building season. If a settler buys a piece of laud, his first object is to put a house upon it. But this is only a slight structure.

He comes with limited meanB, and haB forty ways for every dollar he possesses. Pioneer seltiers caunot study comfort or elegance; they have to be content tho first few years with tbe gratification of their most primitive wants. In building a bouBO there, he procures material from Chicago (for pine lumber docs not grow iu this State), through tbo factorship of somo local dealer; then procuring tbe assistance of some rough farmer, wko can cut a mortise and tenon, he, with some neighboring settler, knocks a habitation together, that will withstand tbe prairie winds, and keep. out tho fervors of the sun. Now a CITY MECHANIC, no matter what his occupation, if he is only haudy tn the use of tools, can come to this or any other Western State with perfect safety, if he has a few hundred dollars to make provision for his family bofore ho seeks to follow bis business.

He can get a piece of land, forty or eighty acres, at a price ranging from five to ten dollars per acre, payable in five years, and put up a choap houEO upon it. He can then break a fow acres of prairie and plant it with sod oorn, reserving a patch for a vegetable garden. Then with a cow and a lew bens, he is relieved from the dire necessity af waiting on Saturday night for his week's wages, and has also achieved his deliverance from lhe exactions of the landlord. In all communities we find that the earliest settlers aro those who have grown wealthy by tho enhancement of property, and in a State like Kansas, where the popnlation is pouring in Bo rapidly, values increaso in such a ratio that a homestead upon which little else than a fen years' industry havo been expended, becomes eventually a handsome property to shield a man in his declining yearo. But it is an error in political economy to take a man from a business whero his industry is useful to the community, and put bim to FABIUNG, IN WHICH HE IS UNSKILLED, and for which he may never acquire a taste.

Nor i3 such an enforced change of occupation necessary here. Communities are springing up almost daily. We have many villages now numbering several hundred inhabitants, where a year ago there was unbroken prairie. Surrounded with audi development, no man need be idle; he can surely adapt his mechanical skill to some pursuit that will be in de maud hy his neighbors. It would, perhaps, be hard to distinctly state how one half of our village popnlation live that is, what particular pursuits they follow.

But all appear to live in abundance and ease. The pressure of a dense city population does not weigh upon them, and such onerous conditions are not imposed upon the Western citizen, as are infiic ed upon those who struggle to support their families in the crowded East. When a man is saved from the payment of rent, and does not have to divo in his pocket for every trifling articlo that appears upon his table, ten hours' labor a day la not the necessity of his life, and the curse imposed upon onr first parents seems relieved of the worst of its severity. These general (statements will seem, to show your readers of the less affluent class that although Kansas cannot offer them the inducement of high wages and certain employment, still an assured means of living is in Btorc for them, if they can only bring means to make a start, and will not bo In too great haste to get rich. THE McNEEIY FAMILY.

Sudden fleath of tbe Keeper's Brother Singular Fatality. Mr. Bichard McNeely, brother of Francis MeNeely, Keeper of the Penitentiary, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon. He. was a resident of Providence, K.

whero he was engaged in the dry goods trade. He came to this city last week, to bid his brother farewell revious to his departure for Ireland, whither the latter was going ior the benefit of his health, having suffered lately from a serious attack of heart disease. Mr. Blohard McNeely accompanied his brother to the steamer, where he bade him good by. They embraced each other tenderly, and as their lips met in a fond brotherly kies, they both evidently felt that It might he tho lost but neither probably thought that the one least expecting death would meet it first.

On tbe contrary, Fronclj knew that ho was already struggling with a disease whioh might at any timo end his life, while bis brother feared that ho might nevor return. Already one of (heir brothers had died of the same complaint, aud there were unmistakable signs that it wite hereditary. They parted, FranclB sailing for bis native land, and Richard returning with bis brother's wife and family, excepting the son who accompanied his father on the vyage, to tboir home at the Penitentiary. Mr. Bichard McKctly remained there until four o'clock yesterday afternoon, when, as ho was about tokiug bis leave to return to Providence, he suddenly fell down and dii in a bhort time.

Ho was a man of stout build, very much like his brother, but not so tall, and it is probable that death resulted from the same disease with which Francis MoNeely is now suffering. It is feared tbat the newB o( bla brothei'a deitb, win have a serious on Mr. MoNeely, who is naturally a very affectionate, tender hearted man. Picnic of the House of the Goon Shep heud. Tbe third annual plcnio of the House of the Good Shepherd will be held at Pope's Park, on Thursday next.

Thete Is no worthier charitable institution in Brooklyn than this, and this picnio affords the pnblio a chance to lend it a helping hand. Good muaio is provided, and everything will be done to make tbe affair pleaeant. The object of this Institution, in charge of tbe Sisters of the Good Shepherd, 1b to offer an asylum for the protection and reclaiming of thoBe women and girls who, after having been allured irom the way of virtue, are desirous of reforming their lives. They ate submitted to a courso of mild and gentlo training, in which tbe; are formed to habits of industry, aud the principles of morality are instilled, as a safeguard against tbeir relapse after leaving tbe Institution. AU are received without distinct! as to religion, and none are detained against their will.

The InBlUutiou is supported by tbo united labors of the Sisters and Penitents, and by donations from tbe benevolent. An appeal is made to Ibe charity of those kindly disposed to aid in this great woik. for assistance in defraying the debts incurred in the flrBt establishment of this Institution, and also to enable tbe SlBters to increase their, present vtry liruitexlmcttnaoiaceomrgiQdaiiQn, Akcrman's Beginning. The new Attorney General is earninghis amnesty. Evidently, ho will fulfil the rule of all apostates.

Having lapsed into loyalty, ho intends to prove his faith by his works. It was known before Mr. entered the Cabinet that he uphold the Bullock faction in Georgia. That made him an intolerant man as thoroughly as any evidence could. He confirms that impression to day.

In a circularlet ter to United States Marshals, Commissioners and District Attorneys, he calls their attention to the "Act for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments," orders them to make note of its tenor, and adds, whenever yon receive from any source creditable information that the law has been violated, take prompt measures for the arrest and prosecution of the guilty party." This is a very good beginning for the Attorney General. He is swift to advertise his subordinates of the only law passed by Congress for the wholesale nrsurpation of the conduct of elections in the several States. To be onre, they knew all about it beforehand; but Mr. Akerman is under a cloud of condensed confederatism only lately lifted He, therefore, adds his own voice to the chorus of the loyal. He is not to be misunderstood.

If he keeps on in this way he will wish to be misunderstood before long, confounding "information" with evidence, and accused persons with "guilty parties." The whole law, however, is abortive. As we explained before, it only was put forth as a Radical bid for Democratic money to make Conservatives compound ficticious felonies. They will not. The law won't be worth one cent to those who take stock in it. and Mr.

Akerman's subordinates will have sold themselves at the exact valuation other people put on them. Water Commissioner Fowler did a timely thing to day in giving directions that chloride of lime be sprinkled in the gutters of streets in the densely populated portions of tho city, and in districts in which sewers are not yet introduced. Brooklyn is the best sewered city in the Union. Its streets are so clean that the Eagle is not innndated with complaints, as it has been in the past, at this season of the year. Tho absence of any disease in an epidemic form during a Summer so severe as this has been, is due, under Providence, largely to the excellent sanitary condition of our streets.

The Eagle is chary in its praise of local officials. Wo expect its kindly words to secure increased yigi lance on the part of those responsible for the condition of our streets and sewers. The Life Insurance Companies are said to be deliberating whether or not they will insure negroes. This seem3 to be a strange hesitation. A colored man may insure his house, his furniture, his horse or any other property he have, why not his life? As a race the American citizon3 of African descent are robust and long lived, and as safe to insure as white folks.

Companies that hesitate are neglecting their business interests; if they do not insure colored people there will soon bo an African Life Insurance Company started for their especial benefit. One effect of tho hot weather will bo to ripen the fruit crops very rapidly and bring them early to market. This will save on the fruit as giving the worm less time for its depredations. It will make fruit cheap, particularly peaches, which will come into market with a nisb. and if the hot weather continues will not keep long.

The fruit will have to be soli off rapidly and low prices will prevail, so that fruit raisers may be somewhat disappointed in their anticipations of profit. It is reported that the Prussian army is to be re inforced by a Mexican General named Martinez, who has received a commission in the Prussian service. If Martinez is no more successful in fighting the French in Germany than he was Mexico, he will not prove much of an acquisition. The intense and protracted heat is attributed to the spots on the sun. Like Lady Macbeth, we wish those darned spots would out" before wo are all melted or done to a orisp.

The Saleswoman's Early Closing Association brings to notice either a shameless sham or a case of noteworthy modesty. Miss "Netta" is tho Vicc Prceident of the society and busies herself in itB behalf. Why does she omit to announce her name? If from motives of blushing and sb) inking res orve they are inconsistent, became she delivers speeches, and in other wayB makes hereelf more prominent than other women who do not hesitate to nominally avow themselves.
