Seminiaoenoet of IGniater tfanh The Be- tun of If earn, Abbey and Haverly. COUNTRY" BOARDING AS IT IS. (Cbrrvspowdenc of he Courier-Journal. 1 If ew You, July 25. Tb recta of New York at early morning between 5 and 6 o'clock, suggest a oountry Tillage, or would do so it were not for the rumbling of the can orer the elevated road and the.

horse-can with their early birds. And yet there fa life enough left for a study, not of still Ufa, bat human nature. I waaan enforced looker on this morning, the beat of last night driving ma into the outer air. The first glim pee of humanity I obtained was that of an urchin two feet high, with newspapen under his arm and a steam-whistle attachment. I never saw so small a boy so much at noma on the great ocean of ooramereew Ha made a successful negotiation with me for the transfer of a New York Herald, and aa this waa his first worm, ha waa obliged to apply to another gentleman, a foreigner in the fruit trade, for change for a quarter.

This party, who was a surly-looking ruffian and could hare posed for a brigand of the Abnixxi with sotne slight change of raiment, accommodated the young gentleman without a murmur. Ha was leaning his peaches with a blacking brush, putting a new down on them rather superior to the original one, when ha was accosted by the small boy, but he dropped his business without a murmur to do an unremuneratire kindness, and threw in something extra in the way of an encouraging pat on the head. Now, if politeness is simply kindness, kindly expressed. Giovanni, the psactt polisher, must be con sidered a remarkably polite foreigner, Wbetner be baa outer claims De called a gentleman is a matter of doubt. I was tempted for a moment to give him an order to polish me a half a peck of peaches, but was deterred by the fact that they would have been of no earthly use except to shy at the police.

1 sit at my front door and read the Herald, that is say pieces of. it, and 1 am often interrupted by the rolling thunder and look np to mo the aerial can crammed full of stal wart men in check shirts, who all seem to be studying the signs and shop windows as absolutely new thing, something that had bunt out of the earth during the preceding night. 1 can understand why tne labor uuottioocan not be ut into mope symmetrical shape. Check shirts that live up town go down to their work, and those who lire down go up. Why don't they have a mam meeting and swap tenements.

There would be a saving of JU per brad each year, in the aggregate enough to ly on tne national del in tne course of time. The ios man pulls up at the door, and with a pair of iron sugar-tongs selects with great care a special lump of ice, which I know is mine, from the mom and dirt that clings to the top of it. 1 ask nun what he thinks would be the figure for packing the corridor full of ice duriug the Munmer, with a tunnel through the center not large enough for a woman to get through, especially one who "ileterniuiea to go on the stage Not being strong in llgurea, or becoming pos sessed with the incniUiUle behaf- that 1 am not earnest, he simply gruia, juuijie into His FKRAMBtLATINO ICKBKKS and move ou. He stops again a few doon off, and the policeman on the beat helps hiiuM'lf to a list full of ice. Which seems to tie Miiwrlluout.

considering the remarkable cool I mm of thou knaves of clubs. Curious looking people liass the door own with bulbous red noses and buttoued-up coats, which indicate a mortal feud with tiie washerwoman. They appear to have passed the night in a ot the city wilderneas with nothing but the starry counterpane above them and oh! the thirsty look of them. Newpapcr-car- ricn begin to heave in sight, loaded down, hurrying along and leaving a newspaper at every other bouse. The wan from the dairy farm establishment, where they make but termilk to order, darts into the hallway with a milk can ana a graduated vial measure in his hand.

He delivers hisgoodsat the door beside the ice. Bhop girls now suddenly ap pear so suddenly that it seems they must have come up through a vampire trap in the sidewalk, with a tu union to help swell the rank and tile in the crest pantomime of life. As a general rule thev co in twos and threes, and they are so distinct a c'ass that ben tbey return In the evening they are never confounded with that lot of poor creatures wbo walk the streets in search ot prry. All the changes in the aspects of street life seem to come in sections, or like the different acts ot a play, divided in this case by an invisible curtain. At clock THERE JlS A BCSTUt AXD STIR, which indicate a guneral awakening from rest awl a determination to go in and win in this new day bub no one ever saw before.

At 10- o'clock well-dressed, tight-breeched gentlemen pour down hixtn avenue cross over to the Elevated-road sta tion. Thev wear white tAur with curled brims, carry canes and almost invariably smoke. They come out of Murray Hill and are going down into the city to see how much they can get the better of their fellow-men in the little gaaie of trade and commerce. The names of them iwople rarely amicar in the newsuatier. Their are tha ob scurely wealthy ana fortunate ones cf the earth.

They think, however, that the eyes of the world are upon them, and that the aforesaid eres could nut be butter emnlnvawi As they are known and well esteemed in their own little coterie of friends and acquaintances, that is all they desire in the way" of fame. They think themselves great, which la perbaps better tnan being so. unce they obtain tha notoriety which the newsDaoen furnish in the obituary column where aome one of them is noted as pawing away and leaving ten or fifteen millions, a fact which always awakens a feeling of indignant surprise in the others. When these good people appear plug-batted on the street the morning may be said to have gone and the oar begun. On the whole I am inclined to think that Sew York is not a good place in the sum mer unless one barters a boat and keep it perpetually running nigbt and day.

This present season bu been especially uncoin fortable owing to a certain inuggiues and closeness in the atmotpbera. We no longer have the breezes that formerly did such yeoman service. The nights are taking upon themselves me rasntou of the southwest in growing hotter than hen the sun doing his best. Yesterday i took a run down the bay to the but end of Coney Island where fun begins and fasJa ion keeps away. It is a place for gunda-v school people to disport on tho sands and have a general breaking up of lunch baskets.

The Sunday -school child is always rewarded for her virtues by being furnished with a bathing dress at half price. Even tne Cadmus of the flock wbo has led them forth, the good Deacon, can gambol among the elements in righteous breeches and jacket for the low price of twelve cents. I encountered ooe of these parties on my arrival at the island, and waa somewhat surprised to find that the Sunday-school scholar possesses a tenacity ot Ufa beyond that of any other child, borne of the lot ranged from twenty-five to fifty yean of aga. To my intense astonishment I discovered among tha multitude i TWO ACTRESSES well-known in the West disporting In tha breakers, quite mixed up with the saintly i people and evidently on excellent terms with the family of Watte' divine hymns. A stoat woman of muscle attracted very general attention by catching at her weaker sisters and throwing them about in tha waves, aa if she had determined to offer np a pleasing sacrifice to Neptune.

Getting somewhat out of breath, she sat down on the sand, when aa guest in we shape ex a strove breaker sat down in bar threw her about hi attitudes more than graceful, some of them full of startling aniptisea. The ocean has no decency. One can rough it at Mike Norton's very eomfortaoty for a short tame, and be introduced to the clam when that boneless wretch is as hie People who have a strong oens towards revealed religion haunt tha place. Jim Collier and Sheridan Shook have revivals there, and sing psalms to the taeomtag tide. On tha whole, it is a sort of Noah's dove's rest to stop over one boas.

Tha east end of the island is satisfactory, and even it should become wearisome, then is no necessity to remain longer than the boat doss. Stick to tha boat and the breeaa that aha makes. The cable bring the news of tha deata of GEORGE F. 11MH, United States Minister to Italy. Ha waa eighty -one yean of age one of the few who top over the three arore-ana-ien.

asumsuow United tstates began in iww, it may wswi oi Mr. Marsh that he belonged tothe past and waa an intruder on the present. He was a scholar in the largest acceptation of the term, a linguist, aa essayist, and a lecturer. He was not born to the graces and deoeptiona of diplomacy, and I have always thought him up Laced in that career. 1 heard him lecture once, many yean ago, and recall him as he then appeared a tall, slender man, marveiousiy m-iavoreci ana hcwuuhit awkward, with something of the ungainly manner which Scott has given to Dominie Sampson.

1 remember nothing of what be said. Another man of his time waa Alexander Everett, a man of great culture. In personal appearance ne aaw was not captivating; dark-skinned ana with straight black hair. His voice waa harder than iron it in unite of this he ws absolutely larred-but almost fascinating. At the close of one of bis lectures on the rencn rtevoniuon ne delivered "11 Cinuue Maggio." of Manzoni, on the death of Napoleon, so forcibly and with such pathos that 1 recall nothing at this present moment comparable to it.

He lived among the giants. To be known at all then was to be famous in tne days wnen so many strung men wen lost in tha shadows of Web ster and Clay. MR. ABBEY AKD KB. JACK HAVERLY having returned from have been pounced upon by the reportere.

whose modest and diflideut style contrasts strongly with the bold confidence displayed by the victims. all of which is to be seen in three columns of the Herald. The language of Messrs. Abbey and Haverly, as reported, is so much like that adopted by thee celebrated conversa tionalist oh. so much, it is a matter of immense importance to the ublic at large to know for that Jack the prudent has not lost any money, and is in anything but embarrassed circumstances.

His views on English dramatic art are not only valuable iu themselves, but are specially welcome to the thirsty American soul from their orii nalitv. Mr. Abbey modestly ascribes bis success in management to the blind goddi Fortune, wbo bus now cut hun another win ning card in the shape of the beautiful Laugtry, who. if she was as ugly as siu. would, under the circumstances, prove a winning card To tha man who reads nothing but news- papers it must be like swallow uig a pill when lie finds hiuiself reading a theatrical adver tisement.

They announce "tba Hon ton Miniature Ideal Ouera 10O srstheticailv cultuied youuj; maidens- iuiu youths. la tieuce is described as "brilliant as a sunset sky- a poem touched with life under the hi mil of music." This description must have Iweu engendered oa twUHi tommin in a lit of dreaming melancholy by the youth who does tha dramatic criticisms for the whole Boston press, in breezy contrast to this rubbish is the vigorous style of the Aihambra Theater, "nrty special artists, boxing and wreutung by ali the chanipiona. it is to tie presumed that any man, or woman possi bly, auioug the audience can take part in the games, be wrestled or boxed, or take an unexpected reserved seat on the stage as a re- suit of the struggle. JUL.

Ot WILLIAMS still proclaims himself as "one of the finest" at llaverlv's. It is a melancholy theme for a jest is the humor of the policeman. On Saturday night Mr. aoruruas takes his ''Merry War'' from, the Oeruuuiia to the Metropolitan A sea tar. His chief attraction is Mr.

Carleton. wbo is almost magnetic as that scapegrace Joe Emiuett. Next to him comes Dora Wiley, wbo has mora art than voice, but wbo sings well enougn lor the last and with all the feeling that can be asked for. The toy -shop, i. Madison Square, still calls for visitors, aud the man ager announces it as "the handsomest thea ter in tne world.

vtnaz is me witnout modesty I Where the audiences came from during these "blasts" from what's-its-name it is impossible to ggure. HXPORTs ntOH OUT OF TOWX, when people go to be happy and at rest, are rather conmcung. rrom Ireuton rails a friend writes: "I am obliged to sleep under blankets every nignt." laoo see why it should not be optional instead or obligatory. rrom Uberon anotner party writes: "riot blazes." This comparison is not clear, However, he says nothing about blanket. Board in the country is very cheap, in an swer to a letter of inquiry sent up the Hud- i by a friend there came this: "nultaJ la yourself, wile and servant for (so a week." There was no disoosition shown bv the seeker for happiness to be taken in in that way.

The farce of knocking a pugilist out of time in four rounds is to oe repeated at the Madison Square Garden. This is one of those prise speculations, that Mr. Abbey and air. iiaveriy nave most unaccountably mimed. The house will probably be 10,000 or iss.iasj.

Notwithstanding the delightfully cool, breezy summer days and the nights that woo refreshing sleep here in our city homes, still "A spirit of expulsion i rum thW Paradise below Is upon us, and we go." The wealthy and the fashionable go; and many who are neither and who care nothing for the dictates of la mode, long to flee away from the steady press and drain of daily toil, and seeking reaction for mind and body un consciously obey fashion command and go, This, the most fashionable fashion in all the summer catalogue, is the redeeming phase of our too rapid way of living the balm for our fevered business world, as well as fresh fields and pasturea new for society belies and beaus. This, then, is tha latest fashion and the most popular one of all; but when so many of our population are either just re turning, just on the eve of depart ure, or already away, flitting from place to place, they must have the wherewithal to present a pleasing appear aiice.

Thus it is that fashion is compelled to suggest a few changes to meet the demand of her people. But she answer to the call very grudgingly, and bids them wear their old clothes and wait. Even this goddess pos sesses enough mortality to require seasons ot rest and recuperation. For midsummer dress white and black seems to be the most popular, whether worn solus or in combination. Olanco oyer assembly and you will conclude that every one who is not dressed in pure white or cream color is clad iu black.

You may per haps sea six or eight costumes of other col on in a hundred, but scarcely more. It is aa much used for street and church as for bouse wear, and beautiful alike for all. Dotted mulls and embroidered Swisses are much used, being admired for their airy softness, which is enhanced by contrast of tba embroidery on tba thin sheer fabric. Too much can not be said in favor of white; its loveliness is excelled only by Its usefulness, There is a growing tendency to the use of embroidery in every Una from tha simple edging of nndergarmenta to the elaborate trimming and even making ot entire suits. White dream ara fnqusntlT tnada flouncing.ind Tn Uses' and young ladies' aolid colored lawna and ginghams and white suits are made with yokes sleeves of white embroid ered muslin, tha kind that comes three-qoar-ters of a yard wide, solid work without a finished edge, Black dresses are made in tha style, with embroidered net or laoe yoke and sleerea.

These are shaped In Pom padour style, while the white yokes in colored dresses generally have a strap of the dress goods creasing the shoulders, giving tha suite tha appears nos of slips worn orer white bodies. This style is especially pretty for miens and children, look. ing ao pretty, simple and girlish. They are generally made with infant waist, belt and full round skirt, but an also noticed with ruffled skirt and drapery. iTetty picturesque hate that are worn with these and similar suite are very largo coarse straw fiats with very tall crowns, and very wide brims, claiming full six inches in altitude and latitude respectively.

The trimming is a soft full lining of mull or net and a cloud-like wreath of the same about the brim, through which the peak appears. Did the designer intend us to think of mountains with the white clouds wind blown about their crests? Any way, we affirm that these mountain Late an very pic turesque and eminently suitable for seaside or country. Very small ladies must remember that they will do well to forgo the pleasure of possessing one of these extinguish ers, for fear thev mlnit hum tn listen to trito qUeBtion to the bat a. to where it was betaking its owner. But we must not close without mentioning that digited hose are spoken of as already produced and highly lauded by medical journals.

It remains to be seen whether fashion will approve or whether her edict will forever banish tha thought. T11IS AND THAT. ROXC ROAMED. Roaming. Romewani he roamed.

When ax Senator Bailey, in tha convention, of July 11, erred to tha Bolton aa tha Young Democ racy, ha missed it as far as did the Prohibit- on in taking up with tha Fusssllites as temperance man, par excellence. Not that they don't sometimes go off on a lark of course not, neither aide does thatbut I mean to say that, for youth and sobriety, tha Bolters, compared man for man aa long aa they could hold out with the Regulars, will be found long distance in the rear. Tha average of the Regular Democratic Executive Commit tee's age is about thirty yean; of the Bolters', nearer forty. The Regular Chair man, Col. Vertreea, is thirty-six; Capt.

Hillsman, thirty-eigbt; J. M. Head, twenty-seven, and so on. On the other hand, Hon. E.

A. James, Bolter Chairman, etc, ia climbing up toward fifty. And his compatriots are not far behind him creeping steadily along with that excessive timidity which time always brings. But they are none the less respectable on this ac count, for old age, is honorable. However, when either their youth or their abstemiousness is pleadod.

they ought to be compelled to produce the afildavite. TBI rOl R-MUJC LAW, adopted as a plank by the Bolters, provides that outside any organised town or city the sale of intoxicating liquon may be prohib ited within four miles of any chartered in stitution of learning on motion of any five legal voters wbo may band together for the purpose. Under this act any A Clog I learn, may be investedtfsith the dignity of a chartered institution, and it has been done in numerous instances, until there are whole square townships in Tennessee where not even a little wine for the stomach's sake "and thine oft infirmities" ran be had for love or money. There, can always be found, l.i every community, as many as live men who have stomachs like an Arabian camel or au india-rubber valise, anxious to noes around ami make all the other receptacles of like character conform to their own tor toe same buuiou nature that established the In quisition in not dead: it only tlceps. But I merely designed to draw attention to toe tact tnat since the passage ol this law, uve or six years ago, there have been a uuuioer oi IWa orratic rotate conventions held here two in lbTy.

Some important eaturea in the State and Federal relationship are being developed in the oaaa of John Bush (colored), who waa convicted of the murder of Annie Yanmeter, by the Fayette Circuit Court, and, upon thefrfflnnaace) of the Judgment by the Court of Appeals, ordered by the Governor to be hanged est Friday, the 28th inst. A writ of error waa sued out before Associate Justice Hon.

Sam. F. Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, and the notice of its allowance served on the Sheriff of Fayette county and the Clerk ot the Court of Appeals. The latter court, however, is not ia session, and can not therefore recall its mandate of affirmance. The Sheriff being placed in the most awkward situation, requiring him to hang the prisoner day after to-morrow according to the State Court, and to not hang him according to the Unitedistatea Supreme Court, rendered it neoeabary that Executive authority should be interposed.

The Attorney General being absent from the city, the advice of Judge Win. Lindsay waa sought, and an opinion obtained from him, as follows: Hos. P. Blacks trait, Qovcaxoa or tbs or aajctvcsv bear Sir: In accordance with your requeet, I have examined the Ktate aad federal, bearing upoo the writ of error from the Court of Appeals of this State the supreme Court of the Lnited 8tatea, aud out, by Joan Bush oa the lilet day of July. ltutZ, aad 1 submit the following as toe result ot my investigations: John huso, a negro, was regularly Indicted for the crime uf murder in the Fayette Circuit Court.

Hi trial resulted ia a Judgment of conviction, and he was sentenced to suffer the death penally. He appealed from Uus judgment to the Court of Appeal of Kentucky. That tribunal antnued the juugiueot of the Circuit Court. Purauaat to ane-tiou Md, of the Criminal Code ot Pjractice, the Clerk ot the Court of Appeals transniitted to you a certinuate of the affirmance of the judgment ot the Circuit Court, and in obedience to the provisions jut said section you issued your warrant of executiuo, in which you named i riday, the day ot this month, as the day for the execution, and caused the aaine to be delivered to the bberilt of FaydUe county. With this act your official duty, aa far aa the judgment in uuestion is concerned, terminated, unless the exercise of the power rested in the chief executive officer of the Co ininon weal th by the constitution you aee proper to pardon the convicted teion, or to commute or auapand the execulJun thereof.

By section 7 0b ot the Revised Statutes ot the United Mates, it is provided that a writ of error sued out from the Una! judgment of the highest court of a State "shall have the same effect aa if the juogmeal or decree complained of had been rendered or paaoad ia a court of the United tales." Section 1.040 Revised Statutes nrovidea that "whenever a judtrmenl of death is rendered in any court of the United Btates, and the case is carried- to the Supreme Court ia pur- of law, the court rendering such judguuml' shall by its order postpone the execution thereof from term to term until the mandate of the Supreme Court in the case is received and entered upon the records of such lower court." If it. be conceded that the Conereas of the TJnited Statea haa the power through statutory enact nanus thus to control the action of the highest court ot a State, still in this case these dilhcidue are nresented: The Court of Anneals is not ia session, and will sot convene till tha first Monday in beplriuber next, it can not therefore make an order recalling either its mandate or the cenilkvte of affirmance transmitted to you by the Chirk. Consequently there is no judicial tribunal in session, or which can lawfully be re quired- to convene, possessing the power to postpone tne execution oc ue luac- ment stcainst Bush until the mandsie of the Suamue Court of the I'nited Btates shall be received and entered, The result of all this ia Uialihe sheriff of Fayette county ia oa the one baad ordered and directed by the proper judicial aud executive authorities ot the etata judgment of the Fayette Circuit Court, and on the other is notified through the citation regularly served upon him that the execution of said iirknnent has been suspended by the writ of in rmm Inui execution on noav next error regnlarly granted by one of the Justices of ue supreme Loun ot roe uniteo. etaies. I'd rtsieve that officer from the necessity of de ckling As to hla duty in a matter ao grave this, and to prevent a possible conflict between the State and Federal authorities, aa to the custody of the condemned prisoner pending the proceedings hi the Supreme Court.

I respectfully' suggest that when you are under no legal oougauona 10 uncnws, uua aeema to oe a proper caae to exercise your constitutioaal power to respite or postpone the execution of the judgment against Bush for such time aa will af- iora ID supreme iwn a reaaouaow opportunity to dispose of the writ of error tn question. Very respectfully. Wa. LutnoAT. BAJOWOBT, A.T., JUIJ SO, 1BS3.

iPkOadeJpkia Telegraph Madrid Letter. Since my arrival here I have been industriously looking out for tha beauty for which the Spanish women are popularly supposed! to be famous. I think the character ot beauty with which the Spanish women are generally credited must originally have em-nated from a French source. doubt but that the Spanish fair sex exceeds tha French in good looks, but then French women are notoriously homely, speaking generally, lam told that the beat-look ing women of Spain are to be found in Seville and Cadis, with wich two towns I am at present nnacqaainlad, but I must say that the fair Madrilinos far exceed their Parisian in good looks. lean not say that the average ot female beauty, in Madrid at any rate, la any higher, or indeed so high, as that to be found tn America and England.

There are few very homely women in Madrid, and the old English expression "comely" would describe as accurately aa possible the average of feminine beauty la this city, which 1 take to be fairly representative of the whole of Spain. Ia vivacity tbey exceed their English sisters, though they probably tall short somewhat of the French ideal. Ia point of gracefulness they are incomparably superior to any women I ever met. i speak, perhaps, rather confidently oa this point for one who has been for ao short a time on the Iberian Fen Insula, but I happe to have had one or two good totroductiooato native residents of this city and have had tha opportunity, which few transient visitors to the capital hare, of seeing aomething ot the home life of the Spanish upper circles. There is no one wbo will not concede to the Span- ith woman unparalleled gracefnTnwsa.
