ttba SPOUTS AND PASTIMEa. WAHXMjmbjp rEWJaXBlff A bobwg SOUTHAMPTON. "RICHELIEU." OUR CHINAMEN. boon subjected to daring their season at Wallook's, the Couqueat troupe are holding on bravely, arid they continue to give thoir marvelous performonce nightly, Including many of the most dangerouB feats. Mr.

George Conquest, has taken hie father's place In the coat, but ho has cut out tho flying aot, finding It Impossible The Political Views of Brooklyn Mongolians. The Difficulty Experienced In jlsrcriainloar Them 3ir. Whig Wing Docs not Want tr Wash the "Bloody Shirtec," and Hr Hi Clil Thinks Hancock Will be too High Toned Notloe the Common People Mr. Johzr Opinion Politics in tho Laundry. The Chinese vote of Brooklyn is very fight It always will be.

As a rule the Mongolians mind their own business, and have no conception of events trans plring in places other than their laundries. But whom a question of moment arises thoy doubtless give it tha consideration it deserves. It la generally conceded that tbe political problem, as it now stands, deserving of consideration, and although tbe news that ten or twenty Chinamen will vote one way or the ear talnly will not electrify the community, the reasons 16 fluencing their votes will probably be of interest. Of the twelve almond eyed Individuals wilh whom tho1. reporter conversed two were voters, and eight, although' cot having tbe right of citizenship, showed that tbsjr had a pretty fair idea of the political issues before th" country; that I hey knew who Hancook was and who, Garfield was.

and were not unfamiliar with the MinM of both candidates. That the Chinese population of the oity is increasing is cot disputed, especially by those who are undergoing the severe ordeal of their business competition. Thero is no reason why tt shoofd not increase. The Mongolians have tho reputation of be iug quiet and peaceful, and if so, the City of Cburohosvv must be admirably adapted to their tastes. And who run laundries need not here remain idle Of lato tho Brooklyn Chinese have Iconcelved a foBoVi ness for visiting the rooms of the Young Men's ChrltV tian Association, and, although political dlsonssion IslV hardly there in order, tbe regulations governing thai vis matter Are not so strict as those recently promulgated by the Foliee Board.

The members of the oopper eol ored race who compose the Bible class come from all sections of the city, and all, with three exceptions, r' laundrymon. It was In the hallway of tha M. 'A. that the roportor approached a countryman of the great Confucius with the view of obtaining from him political expressions of opinion, and it was with no little rsluo. tance that ho took the first steps toward changing" John's pious Una of thought to the more eoirimon siut worldly sphoro of politics.

It is quito probable that John was imbued with the surroundings, for he arnlleol sickly when asked, In a decldodly offhand manner, for whom be Intended to vote. Now John was an intelligent Chinaman, anil he understood the qaestloa ad dressod just as well as he understands what his labor' is worth in the market, but, after smiling, hla only reply waa a shake of tho head and a muttering of words) known only to himself. The brass buttons on his blua blouse glistened in the sunlight, and his pigtail was arranged with the care and skill attending tha performance of a professional barber. An awk ward pause followed the inquiry, and consequently, realizing that John's mind could not be appealed to, 11 was deoidod to appeal to his tasto. A cigar waa Offered and declined, not, however, betori Jobs had peep! up tho stairs and noticed that a gentleman, with'CV urn stick in his hand and a book under his arm, had HIS EYE UPON HEW.

A Then he moved away and, crossing Fulton strctt, waft. soou lost to view. Before proceeding on his travels, and being in thai vicinity of the Court House, the reporter passed a few moments in the Kings County Naturalization Offle, and thore saw Mr. Thomas York, the obliging clerk. "I will naturalize any Chinaman who comes bare, and pay the fees, too," said Mr.

York, In opening the con versation. "Aren't you afraid that your purse would be drained by tho lime you finished tbe task 7" "No although I don't mean to intimate that It wonia not take much to do it. But if Chinamen ate as shy of a naturalization office in the future as they have been in the past, it will be a long time before would bft compelled to withdraw my offer. "How many almond oyou individuals have been nat uralizod lately." "It'B not necessary to i of er to the books. There haa been one in two years, and when bo was mads a citizen, of this great and glorious land of the free, there was rare rejoicing among bis countrymon.

Probably they wero glad to get rid of him. He was accompanied here by eight of his friends, who were all anxious to) testify to his good character, and when ho left, wltta the paper in his possession, the Union never boasted aj prouder or more consequential citizen." "How many Chinese voters are there In Brooklyn t' "Give it up. I don't believe there ore more than flt, and probably that figure is too high. But it is certain that tho Chinese population la lnoreasing, and consequently we may expect more voters. Many people rjfl' lleve that the Chinese are not allowed to vote, and that tho law which applies in California holds good hor also.

Nothing of the kind. Bring all the Mongolians) here that you can, and it won't take long to make them citizens." Among the laundrieB in the Seventh Ward, neat whore the members of the Thomas Jefferson Club make patriotic and soul stirring speeches, Is one kept bj Wing Wing, who baa the lion's share of the patronage in the vidnlty, and who is reputed to hare some iDfla enoo among his countrymen. His laundry is in a bass. ment, to which the attention of the publlo hi attraoter by a large sign, on which is th figure of a Mongolian)' vigorously working at the washtub. Wing Wing em ploys two assistants, one of whom was arguing with customer when tho reporter entered.

Tho wanted aome collars washed and ironed by tha next morning, and John evidently did not see the) force of ha ring to work extra long without' extra' pay, for he said "QUTKBBl WOBKSE, MOBEZ HONES; mo no workee for poo (poor) monee," and he there pointed disdainfully at a battered quarter that the oat tomer had placed on the desk. Finally the transaction waB completed to the satisfaction of both parties, and the Chinaman resumed his work. Introducing himself. as a prospective customer, the reporter asked how business was There was no reply. John evidently thought tbat he was being hailed to ft pillar of derision, but when ha was convinced that such was not the case he became more communicative.

How are you, John 7" Bcggco pordeo, me no John. Me Wing Aro you kept busy 7" Too muchao lent (rent). Not muchee plgoones (bueiucss)." And then he seized a bowl of clean water, with whioh be filled his mouth and then forced it out on the linen in tbe form of a spray. When bo bad satisfied irirwif that the operation was satisfactory he turned around and said Me tiuk woll of Melicau flen." This was cheering intelligence, and seeing that the probability of "a grand bounce" was gradually vanishing, the reporter ventured to ask How about your polititics, John Are you a Gar field man Me, l'omaee, no.

Att'aitlng the "Call" of tho Managers on the Actors' Rl to Gossip About tho Coming Season Dalvs New Play A ltun of Spectacular Drama Promised at tfiblo's Musical Matters. The Dramatic Events Foreshadowed for Next Winter. New YpnK, August 14.

By next Wednesday the majority of tho New York theatres will have commoucod thoir season of 1380 81. Tho theatres now open are doing an ox cellont business, and managora' faces look very bright at the proBpeot of an unusually year for amusements. Thero are so many aKrauuouo prom ised that it ia quite bewildering to keop pace with tho announcements. Opera, coinody, burlesque and many new forma of entertainment are growing Into ehapo nhout Union Smiare, that Rroat actors, exchange. Al though a printed card on one of tha doors of tho Union Squaro Theatre announces that "gontlemen are requosted not to loungo about tho theatre entrance," tho sidewalk in front of that houso ana mo union Place Hotel is crowdod all day long with "professionals'' of all grades and conditions.

Many are waiting for thoir managors to Issuo his "call," but more aro in search of engagements yet to como. New York appears to be the recognized homo of the entire dramatto profession of America, and to Now York, from all parts of the country, (look tho managers and agonts in Bcarch of Jumping from hla train the manager takea hla way, as a matter of coursa.to Union Square whoro he will bo sure to find what ho wants. A well known aotor somewhat given to joklug remarked that octora in Now York should have little cause for complaint as most of their engagements aro "mado on tho equaro." Ha still lives. Tho Uoion Square brigade pre sents manv odd nhases. That tall gentleman weighlnR aome two hundred pounds, and swinging a whiBp of a cauo, docs heavy tragedy in tho provinces.

He nover engage3 at the Metropolitan theatres, although a Now York appearance has been his pot scheme for some twentv vears. In his own estimation ha is far mora talented than either MoCullough, Booth or Barrett, but he is still looking for a manager with a like regard for his abilities. He is talking with a very thin little man who could easily be uristaken for a Tanner follower. The little man is really very groat in his profession, and his metropolitan debut waB mado years ago, for he is one of the best light comedians on the stage. Noar them aro clowns, walking gontlomou, variety actors, end men, circus riders, man flahos, cannon ball toseora, all talking together and looking vory liko ordinary mortals.

Everything ia "shop" in this congregation of theatrical people. Engagomonts, new plays, datos, routea, recent successes, new peoplo and matters in general connected with the stage form the eola topic of conversation. Polltios, and interests of all kinds not directly or indirectly connectod with the stage, are mentioned but seldom among actors. Everything with them is of tha stage, stagey, and unloas you aro "in the swim," you soon find yourself vory much ont of place In their aociety. On the other hand this ia the reason why acton mingle so little with the non professional peoplo.

They havo nothing lu common with tho outaldo world. Thoy are In fact a little world apart from tho maBsos, and noceSBarily must always remain bo. It Is woll that it Is so. When vou se Romoo drinking his beer, and eating a Welsh rarebit, It rather knocks tho romance out of all hla future impersonations. Tho boor will not down, but intrudes itself botwoon you and his most beautiful lines, and when Romeo says he has been feasting with his enemies, we think of the rarebit and tho modest meal before the play.

The illusion is in fact knocked lu the head, and Romeo is quite on ordinary mortal, with a good appetite and a fondness for Geiman wine. In short, If you wish to enjoy the play, do not cultivate the acquaintance of tho players. The square brigade is growing less every day, and the calls will soon leave but a few actora for the curi ous lay people to stare at. A call has gone forth from DALY'S THEATEE, and his now play, with tho mysterioua titlo of ia now in rehearsal. It will bo brought out next Tues day evening, with entirely new scenery and the full strength of the Daly company.

Many changes have taken place in this company during the Summer, aud it promises to be one of the Btrongoat theatrical organizations In tho couutry. Sonio of Daly's original Fifth avenue thoatre troupe have roturned to him, including Miss Emily Rig), who has givon up the Idea of starring for the surer paths of tho regular stock company. It waB at one time roportod that Miss Rigl would star with Miss Granger In Two Nights in Home," but It now turns out that she signed an engagement with Daly several weeks ago. She has been given oue of the best roles in the new play, and she is, perhaps, better off than she would be aa a star, for the theatrical hoaveus will be fairly overcrownod with stars thia coming eeason. Miss Rlgl never appeared to better advantage than she did in Daly's plays at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, and it will be pleasant to bos bor baok again with her old manager.

Among other ladies in the reorganized Daly troupe are Miss Ada Rehan and Fanny Morant. The company also includes Mr. John Drew, the young actor who made such a pronounced success last season in An Arabian Night" and The Way We Live." Mr. Drew was also one of the original Fifth Avenue Company. Hs played in "Pique" for an almost endless number of nights, but slnco that time he has Improved very ranch, aud he ia now an excellent leadlnt; man.

Harry Lacy, Henry Crisp and Charles LeClercq are also members of the Daly company this year. Daly has brought his long experience into play in re establishing himself in his old position, and he opens the present season with the privilege of agala taking tho titlo of "a leading manager of the country." He has not been caught by the speculating fever, and holding to his old lino of management he la sailing along close hauled, aud woll up to the wind, where ha la likely to some ont of the race at the end of the season among the successful ones. Although Haverly'a Fourteenth atreet Theatre haa been open three weeks, what the management were pleased to style the opening of the aeaaon took place at that houee last Monday evening, the attraction of the occasion being the company known as THE NEW DEPARTURE COMBINATION, in an alleged play, entitled "Fun on the Bristol." The authorship of the piece is kept a secret, and so it must be put down among the No Name series of plays that have invaded our Btago in such great numbers of late. The title of the play explains about everything. The stage is Bet with what is supposed to bo the saloon of a Sound steamor, and the caete, during their trip up the Sound, indulge in songs, jdancos aud a quantity of business of the variety and music hall order, that is supposed to make up the "Fun," Until late yoars most of the action and business to be found In plays of the "Fun on tha Bristol order wan kept upon the boards of the varie ty stage, whero it served to amuse the bootblacks and "great unwashed of the lower wards, but, if tho taste of the better class of theatre goers baa reached a depression where it is possible for them to enjoy the variety and music hall class of eutertainmont, of course it Is but natural that managere should con tlnuo to present variety at; our first class theatros.

Managers are in tho theatrical business to make money. The misguided and innocent creature who hints at their entertainments not being exaetly high art ia laughed at for hla pains, and then the practical manager takes the innocent into the box office, whore ho is expocted to be convtneed of the artistic oxcellency of the entertainment by a glance at tho "big money" in tho drawer. The manager being In the business to mako mono, the dollar laden drawer is a convincing sign that he is succeeding in his purpono, and, kooplng thia purpose in rlow, ho would be a fool to withdraw his play but the innocont Is not convinced. An exceedingly representative audience gathered at the opening of Haverly'a Theatre. It was A PBOFESSIONAX, MIGHT to all intents and purposes.

Hundreds of actora and actresses were present, bosldo a number of managora. Kate Claxton, Maud Granger, Mlnnio Palmer, and many other well known stars, were there in the latest thing in Summer toilets, and the audience fairly sparkled with stage celebrltlos. Tho town bolng full of actors and aotresies. they appeared to all take this occasion to enjoy the treat of being before the footlights. It ia a noticeable fact, that a professional audlonco Is always a ktndone, and the Fun on tho Bristol" party received a decided ovation from thalr brothm and slaters of the stage.

The theatre was packed to the doors, and for a Summer nightaudlence it was truly remarkable. Tha Stewart family have decided to remaia in America for some months, owing to a number of offers made them by managers during their season at Haverly'a Fourteenth street Theatre. Their play of Rainbow Revels," was voted vory old fashioned, both in words and muni' but the Stewarts themselves showed that with a good play thoy might prove one of the hits of the season. A new play is now being written for them, and they are likely to appear again in New York later In the season. Miss Nollle Stewart, tho bright particular star of tho troupe, has rocelved a number of offers from both New York and out of town managers, but she refuses to leavo the balance of tho troupe.

It lsjreportod that Jarrett Ittco have made Miss Nollle Stewart a handsome offer, but as they do not care to engage tha rest of the family the offer is off. Messrs, Jarrett Rice, who will have several companies on the road, inoludlng the Fun on the Bristol party, have made arrangements for tho production of Rossini's grand opera of "Cinderella," a work that ban not beon produced In America in many yeara. Ic is to bo brought out at one of our leading theatres, with thoroughly first class singers tn the leading rotcx, a large chorus and a full orchestra. The work is to be placed on the stago In a spectacular form, and it promises to be one of the musical sensations of the season. The genuine Colored MlnBtrels still hold the stage at Nlblo's, where they are doing a large business that has not abated during even the warmest weeks of the Bummer.

Things are taking on a spectacular aspect on the Nlblo Btage, and during the day preparations go forward very rapidly for the production of the new version, or rather the original version, of "Around tho World In Eighty Days." This ploy was produced at Nlblo'i a few seasons ago, but not ia tho style it deserved, and Haverly'a revival of the play will be much finer than any yet presented in America. The play was first brought out in ParlB, during the popularity ol Jules Verno's little book, of which it is a dramatization, and In reviving the piece at Niblo'athe Kiralfys, backed by Haverly'a money, will keep as close as possible to the original French version, both in action and scenery. Many of the costumes will bo imported, and a few seta of scenery, although Mr. Voghlln, the soeuic artist of the theatre, la commissioned to paint most of the scenery, it may be truthfully said that bis work fully holds Its own by the side of that of foreign artlets. He painted most of the scenery of "Enchantment," and all of 'the scenery in the spectacle of "Tho Whito Fawn" was, believe, from his brush.

The leading people In "Around the World" will be Misa Helen Traoy, Alice Sherwood, Carlotta Evelyn, Miss Dempsy, E. A. Locke, E. J. Buckley, E.

S. Tarr and Mr. Meridan. This spectacle will only be the first or a series, and beside the "Blaok Venus," the management will bring out a Russian apectaclo, entitled MICHAEL 8TIUCOFF, also dramatized from one of Verne's realistic atorles.

Whatever doubts we may have entertained respecting the importance of Southampton as a fashionable resort were at once dispelled by witnessing tha gay crowd assembled at the depot on the arrival of the train.

Here was seen a long lino of vohlclos of almost every description, including carriages, dog carts and other pretentious equipages, with coachmen iu livory and footmen in high top boots. Here was also seen an Innovation In the costumes of the beaux, who affect the polo cap, black silk coat, cut short, and knee broodies, wnich often display most borrid looking legs. I shades of Franklin and Jefferson, where is the simplicity of our forefathers gono 7 Rjforo going far we feel transported to some foreign country, instead of being in the quaint, old, simple place that wo were used to In bygone days. The rush hero this season has axed the accommodations of tha boarding houses to their utmost capacity, while building operations are still active, and seem to bo confined to the desirable locality of the Pond, whero Mrs. Steers, among the number, is orectlng a fine cottage.

Tho prico of lots has reached marvellously high figures, the present management of tho Long Island Bailroad Company contributing largely to these results by affording In creased accommodations. New resorts havo sprung rip in the vicinity, one worthy of mention being that of David Harold Rose, situated In lovely grove on Feconlo Bay, where can be found still bathing, boating and fishing. A dancing pavilion Is bere, and meals aro lurnisnea at reasonable prices. Tho Cower bods were tastefully laid out by a lady familiarly known as "Aunt Emma." The grove 1 reached by a drive of few miles through tho pine woods. The bathing hour is tho Blgnal for merry making at the beach, for here every one resorts.

The bathing oostumos worn by the ladles are oxtremoly tasteful and In the newest style of auch outfits. Thoir graceful and venturesomo swimming Is eomothing to nil tho bo holder with wonder. In this respect Miaa Erwin, of Rye, New York, is considered to be the best expert swimmer seen here for many years. The launching of the canoes is a pretty sight and attended with no little excitement. On our return from the beach an incident occurred which shows that tho natives havo not altojothor lost their rural simplicity.

Mies wont into a store and asked for a pound of candy, pointing to tho kind sho dedrod. A purchase of this magnitude was something Ilia proprietor of tho place waa not used to. Standing aghast ho roplied Madam, them's expensive." Tuero was nothing in tho lady'B appearance to indicato penuriousness, and with a firm lip she Inquired the price: "Why," he answered, "them ere will cost yer 32 cents," and as ho weighed out the candles there stole across his face an expreBBlon of doubt mingled with joy. No doubt wondering what things were coming to. It was my privilege to be Introduced to the historian of tbe town, Mr.

William 8. Pelletreau. Ho is a thick Bet man, medium in holgbt, with whiskers and dreamy oyes. As be stood in his plain suit of clothes and showing a gray shirt minus collar, be seemed unconscious of the praise that was being motod to him by tho country folk inr and near. We have gleaned from his interesting history that tho town was settled in 1639 by emigrants from Lyon, Conflcieaca Point, on North Soa, having beon their landing placo.

The deed executed with the Indians is dated December 13, 1C10. Thero were nineteen freemen, Tbe lawa they instituted for tho government of tho colony were strict and for their infraction the penalties were sevore. Drunkenness was heavily punished. Offenders suf fered oapital punishment for blasphemy, idolatry, witchcraft, consulting with witches, heresy, perjury, londlng guns to Indians and other offenses. Zt has boon remarked that no Quakers over suffered deatb here, bocauso none ever canio.

Wall Stuket, Saturday Evening, August H. Tho stock market has been activo during the week. Tho bears mado a sharp demonstration early in tho week, acconiiinuied by rumors that money would be active and that tUo lenders had uuloadod their stocks, There is little doubt of the truth of tho latter state ment, but the bulls, in Becking a market for their load, found that the outsiders generally had forestalled them and, tborefcro, that thore were few llIanib3 to sacri fico. Tho bulls then determined to make as large a short interest as possible, and succccdod in doing so. uPara, couipeueu.

somo 'f the smaller besrs to cover, and, aided by reports of largo importations of gold from Europo, they kept the market moderately strong at the advance. Tho bulls now look for a further riBe in the market, based unon uiporU of Bpecie. and it is probable that those who now buy will besuppliod with stocks from the tin boxes of tho bulls. Last year tho importation of speclo from Europe started in August the boom" iu stocks that carried prices upward during that month and the ensuing two mouths. Then prices were low, compared with what thoy aro now, and there was a great deal of room for Improvement.

At present leadiDg Btocks are very high, and some of thorn are doubtless selling for all they are worth. Any event which would arrest specie imports would be takou advantage of by the bears to depress prices, and there might be a rapid tumble in them. It was roportod this afternoon that $1,000,000 gold hai been ordered from Europo for next week; tbat the East bound pool percentages have been arranged in a manner satisfactory to tha Graud Trunk, and that next weok the bulls will take bold of the market and give stocks a sharp upward turn.

Is it not strange that the West End, and the best ond or this flourishing and crowdod Island, should bo a desert? The roal Coney Island, which all lay westward ot Ounther'e depot, is as silent and tamo as of yore, while lte younger slBtors of Pine and Quysbort islands aro la the full fruition of suporaboundlng prosperity. We hare sea Hons and all kinds of terranean and aquarian animals and numerous railroads hero, but we muBt import some camels, as they are the appropriate animals for extensive deserts.

cannot help thinking what fortune tho Bockaway Company would have seonred bad they built their vast hotel on Norton's Point, with an iron pier equal or superior to those of West Brighton and Long Branch. There Is high land here, with some growth of trees and shrubbery and some attempt at bills and miniature mountains. There aro broad sheets of water on both sides, and yet the lower portions of the Island, backed by quagmire and ercek, taKe the lead, and all west of dunther'e Is forsaken. Groat crowds go down upon tho Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Ballroad, which retains its popularity under the onergotic management of George A. Gunther, but thoy wander eastward and crowd tho carriages of the ConoourBe, Becking recreation at the Brighton and Manhattan.

It seems to mo that tho great fortune of Conoy Island Hotoldom Ilea from Guutnor'a, depot west, and that It will soon be deroloped by sonic enterprising company. Thore ie room for improvement in tho Coney Island pulpit and stage. Hotel piazzas and niUBic stands aro not the places for proaohing. Thore must be churches, and though there Is little hope of founding any church bere upon a rock, very good ones may be erected on splice. Wo have numerous placeB of amuBemont.

Fat women aud fat moo, much fatter aud larger on tho pictures without, than in tho reality within albinos, boarded woinon, puppet shows, carrousels, morry go rounds, fortune tellers, health lifts, aquaria, contribute to the genoral amusement, but wo have no proper theatrical amusements. Tom Thumb aud his quiet little wife are daily to bo seen, but he Is grown stout, and age lu tolling on them both. I knew Tom forty yoars ago in New Haven, and wrote the first notice of him that evor appeared in print. This ago is producing better dwarfs with whom Tom might travel as a giant. The Midgets at the Brighton Bathing Pavilion are doing the beat business and giving the best eutertainmont here.

FROM THE OBSERVATORY, Let us ascend tho observatory and gaze down upon tho pigmy people below us. How small Tom Thumb appears from this olevatipn. He looks much more around than up and down.

Arbuckie'e cornet is liko a small meershaum pipe. Tho hotels all look squat, and the railroads have a subsurfeco appearance. Bauer's and Cable'B and I'eltnian's seem mink in the ground. But let us look at things at a distance. They appear more natural and quito near when soon through the telescope of Mr.

Sweat. Looking directly south, Long Branoh is seen twenty flvo miles away. The Highlands of Novorslnk, a few points west of that, are thirteen miles distant, and In tho same line, Sandy Hook, flvo miles nearer. Sweeping westward over Conover'e and Stone beacons the former thirteen and tho latter ou Romor Shoal; five miles away, and paBt Point Comfort, thirteen miles, we see Keeport, seventeen miles die I i.t a. Ami, i 1 tant.

Next, South Amboy comes in sight, nineteen miles off, with Portli Amboy a mile nearer, and Prince's Bay four miles nearor still. Soqulno's Point, the scene of tho quarantine riot, fourteen miles distant, and Ward's Point, eighteen miles, comes in the same line with the Amboye. Seven niiles away is Elm Tree Light, Quarantine flvo miles, and directly west, two miles is Norton's Point, on this Island, lone and deserted looking, as if the yellow fever station and the bulk of the Illinois had floated ashore here. We have now scanned a quarter of tbe circuit, and are looking over Norton due west. Moving northward comes Tort Wads wortb, five miles dlBtant, Gravesend Bay one mile, then Fort Lafayette four, and the Narrows Ave miles away.

Newark next and Orange, both in Now Jersey, and eaBt sixteen mileB as the crow, or any other sensiblo bird, flies. Bay Bridge comes next in view, five miles, and in the same line Bergen Will thirteen miles; next Jersey City and Hoboien, In line, twelve miles away Gross wood Cemetery comes next, six miles and over it is seen the tower of Brooklyn Bridge, eleven miles. Onlvor's Depot next appears, six then the Palisades of tho Hudson, eighteen miles, and just over them, but very far away, 1b tbe North Star, which wo could see if we had less light, and this indicates that we hava swung half way round tho olrele, and are gazing at tbe North Pole. Turning still to tbe right, High Bridge tower Is twenty miles, and a little further east Kings County Penitentiary eight mileB away. It Is always best to have this object in the distance.

Next, New Lots eight miles, East New York nine, Evergreens Cemetery the same, and CyproBS Hills over ten. Next oome as wo turn eastward, in suocesslon, Wood Haven eleven, Ja maloa fourteen, Canareie seven, Sheepsbead Bay two, Hempstead Plains and Garden City twenty, Bockville Centre eighteen, Far Rockaway fourteen, Rockaway Beach eight, and Barren Island four all too near and we are now looking due EaBt And now from the point of due East to the South wo havo a waste of waters over whioh, as our vision falls, we see the European steam ers, if any are lu sight, at different distances. Tho Sandy Hook Lightship twelve aud the Scotland Lightship seven miles away. All this time, while your eyes are feasting on these more or loss distant objocts, your ears are regaled with the quaint romarka of who turns for you tbe telesoopo. To moro intimate frionda ho is known as J.

P. Sweet. He has published, in hlstorio verse, a little volume with the title of "A Day on Coney Island," in which be trios to give its geological formation (Band), its social history (olaniB), and its magnificent surioundings (mud and water). He also glveB poetical description of A. T.

Stowart'B dream, wbtle your oye and telescope are ou Garden City, aud eonoludee with a description of tbe Coney Island Hotels, and aa a grand Inale repeats Richelieu'B prediction that the whole darned thing will some day go under the feet of Neptune. In tracing the geological history of Coney Island be begins twelve thousand years ago, when tbe ocean waves rolled near the southern lines of Greenwood's graves. The land kept encroaching on the sea tiiT Park ville came to the surfaoe, about the time the Pyramids In Egypt were built. BOMB THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATEB "Sim" Hoagland's hostelry emerged. According to hia reokonlng, Coney Island first began to appear at the Oceanle Hotel about the date of tho Siege of Troy.

Norton's Point got the salt water out of its mouth about the time that Socrates swallowed his decoction. Brighton Beaoh sprang up on tbe day that Ctusar entered Romo, and Manhattan Beach and Venice got away from Neptune's embrace together. When Columbus discovered America, if he had looked sharp, he might have seen three little sand hills one at Wyokoff's, one at Norton's and the third "Siim Manhattan." The elnu ous river which flows on tho Island'B northern Bide, from Gravesond Harbor to the SheepBbead Bay, it is said, was sixty rods in span a hundred years ago. This blstorio poet says tbat Coney Island is named after a family named Coyne other authorities say Cooney iLnon mihi componere lites." Tune Bergen might give harmony to the subject. In his dream of A.

T. Stewart he takes a dash at Samuel J. Tildon, whom he irreverently calls "a high toned shyBter "Satan turned moralist, escapes the storm And skulks behind the banner of reform Aud while for Washington he trims bis sail, Leaves generous Tweed to die lu Ludlow Jail. The Presidential stool ho seems to sigh for. Receives dispatches hardly worth a cipher, And fails to furnish some important facts Directly bearing on his income tax." I rather tbink "Jack" expoctod that Tildon would be the Cincinnati nominee, but Hancock's nomination leaves this part of the poem pointless.

Ha takes a poetical turn at Vanderbilt, Astor, Delancey Kane, Henry Ward Boecher, Captain Williams, Dr. Talmage, James Gordon Bennett, Jay Gould and Jim Fiske. Tor some timo past the friends of JOHN MO NAMEE have been alarmed abont bis hoalth. His friends and those of bis wife bad not heard from him for a long time, and the latest news was that be was down with the dangerous typhoid of that country. Yesterday, how ever, a noto from Mrs.

MoNamee to hor sister, Mrs. Dr. O'Gorman, was reeeivod. Tbe letter 1b dated July 20, and explains the cause of hor not writing by the fact tbat, by advice of tbe dootor, they bad goue to Venice, where, by rest from his studio and by change of air, he had considerably recovered.

Many of the readers of tho Eaole, not only of tbose who knew him here, but of tuosa who were Aeir guests in Florenoe, wlU feel glad to know that he is restored to health. Mrs. Gayler, wife of tho dramatio writer, 'a resident of Brooklyn, met with a serious accident on Sunday hut at Bath. She was going out witu some company in a small boat, and In descending tbe steps at the bulk head of Mrs.

The Conquests aro playing under a contract with Mr, Moss, ho giving them a certain amount wcokly no matter how the recolpta run, so that of course tbey ore willing to run tho performance aa long as Moss can stand it.

Etherie, la, we understand, hla daughter, and It la also stated that thia la her first attempt at tha bird liko business she is now engaged in. The original flying fairy aot ormod a part of a beautiful and very unique ballot brought out In London few aeasona baok. The scone of tho ballet represented a oeauuiui valley with a bridge brought Into the background some twenty feet from tho Btago. Tho flying fairy appeared upon this bridge, and duriug tho progrosaof the ballot eke stepped into the air and floatod almoat to the footlights wbore she mingled In the ballot soon to become the central figure In the dance. The original Etherie made a groat reputation in Loudon, and of course she became a vory expensive article, which may aocount for Mr, Conquest's imagining his daughter could do the act well enough to pass muster aa an ar tlst, and tho young lady has certainly oarrled out her portion of tho performance in a manner to satisfy Doth her father and her audiencoo.

This flying bnslness is not exaotly new to New York as many would wiah ua to bollove. Some eight or nine yoars ago a Mllo. Lulu (who was a youth, and not maidou, by tho way,) ac complished tha (lying act at Nlblo's. standing upon a platform attached to a spring, on tho principle of a Jaok in a box, ho or she was shot up somo fifteen or twenty foot, making a landing on a aocond platform Buapendod above tho heads of tha audlonoe by vmos After his Niblo engagement Lulu started for Europe, aud tho flying business has not been attemptod from that time until tho arrival of tho Conquests, unleBa the spring cannon aot can coiqo undor that head. As tho opening of tha season draws near the COMING MUSICAL ATTRACTIONS incrcaso in number and importance.

Theodoro Thomas, who has just returned to Now York, is very busy or ganizing i new orchestra. What will ha do with It 7 la the question now asked in mnalcal circloB. Will ho remain with his orchestra in Now York or take it about tho country Thore Is a report that the backera of Aronson aro In a little trouble aa to tha rent of tho Metropolitan Hall. Of courso, no ono would wish to aoe Aronaon ousted after hla hard work of tho past four months, but if he ia obliged to vacate, It would be a pity to hare suoh a beautiful hall stand empty, and what a perfeot musical resort it would bo with Ihomaa on tho leador's stand. Among the concert companies that will take tho road thiB season is tho Arbuckio troupe.

Mr. Arbuckle and his daughter will be tho leading attractions of tho company, and Goorgo Colby will aot as director and accompanist. Wilhelmj, it la reported, will give a four wooko' season of concerts iu New York before tho soason ia very old, and a now violinist, fresh from Gormany, will appear at Steinway Hall early In November. All those attractions, together with tho numerous opera companies that will pour in upon ua bef oro tho soason is out of long clothes, prom ises a golden Winter for tha lovers of the divine art. To night Mr.

Hie season lasts two weoke, aud it will be followed with "The Golden Game" Company, under tho management of Colonel Sinn, which also plays a aeaaon of two weeks. Later In the soason, Grau's Opera Bouffe Troupe will put in a soason of six weeks at this house. Who Grau haa secured as his leading slngor ia not yet known. Altogether from to night out the critics will be themselves again.

Will Honeycomb. THE SALVATION ARMY. Ktills'iOH and Praying' on Bridge Street to Clio Delia lit of a Crowd of Small Hoy. Officer Burns, of Justice Walsh's Court, stood in front of the littlo church on Bridgo street, near Tillary, on Friday night. He had a cane iu his hand and when the crowd in front of the door became too largo ho gracefully twirled it aud ordered the gathering cither to outer tho odlflco or disperse.

The Salvation Army was holding forth iuside tho churoh. The neighborhood was selected bocauee it was thought that the inhabitants thereof were particularly iu nood of bolng takon caro of from a religious stand point. But the efforts of tho army were not appreciated. Occasionally thoy would go to the door of the church and sing, and pray aud Invoke blessings. Thon thoy would suddenly return to tho platform they had left, expecting that the crowds about the entrance would follow after them.

But the inducement was not strong enough. The army thought that tho policeman was to blame, and, consequently, the leader gave him a quiet wink and asked him to bo kind enough not to mako himself so conspicuous." "Can't holp my conspicuity," said Bnrns, "am de tailed here, and thia is just the point where my presence is most needful. But the presence of the policeman did not quell a spirit of mischief among some of those at the door. Thoy were MOSTLY DOYS AND GIRLS. 'ihree young misses walked down Bridge street arm In arm, took a peep in at the church and, with cries of Oh, my," skipped past the polioemanat adoubloqnick rate.

Inside the church things were somewhat differ ent, but not altogether so. The Army waB composed of two men and two women. They kuolt before a railing. prayed and sang. The word "oh" occurred fre quently la both prayers and songs, and It seemed to bare a peculiar fascination for the Army.

Thoy dwelt upon it, Thoy brought, It out with much emphasis. Thoy uttered it in a tone of appeal and In a tono of threat. But tho congregation was not mindful. In a back seat near tho door were a girl and a young man. Tho young man was tho dull eat listener that over entered a church, for he was entirely absorbed in his lady frlond.

Altogether, thero woro about seventeen persons in tho church, mostly boys and girls. Ono of the girls was very small, in fact, a more baby. She bad strayed away from her home, and dropped into the edifice to hear the singing. But she didn't bear it long. Her mother found out where Bhe was and took her home.

At no time waa tha church half filled. It was cloaod between eight aud nino o'clock, the efforts of the Army having proved for that night, at least, a doad failure. LITERARY NOTES.

What do you know about the bloody shirt?" Hi Chi takee bloody shirt.

Hi Chi teliee me." A pile of snowy linen was now put in place, and John clutched a hoary sad iron, and commenced to polish) tho bosom of a shirt front. Before leaving, the repor ter succeeded in finding out where Hi Chi was to ba found on Fulton Btreet, opposite Duffield. Mr. Chi was also a laundryman, and like most of his country men who clean llnon in this city, comes from the province of Canton. Hi Chi is not his right name, but the name of his predecessor, who, when he sold the bust cess, sold also the right of using his name.

This erh. torn is a curious one, but it generally prevails among the Chinese, who think that the public are vastly In tereated iu thoir names, and wbo do not take into ooa. sideration the fact that one is bardlyTecognizable front anotbor.

What do you think of Garfield 7" The question seemed, at first, to have A VERY DSPBES3INO EFFE0T fi upon the Mangollan, but tt was diffloult to ascertain whether this was caused by the more mention ot th Ohio statesman, or by the Inquiry being too personal.

Chi soon recovered his equilibrium and said "Garfield goodoe manee. Me likes him. He big sojoi (soldier). Yes, he's a soldier, but Hancock is a soldier, too. What do you think of Hancook He bo no flen of poo' (poor) Mellcan man.
