This ia more especially the case In hogshead tobacco. Leaf tobacco is not ao bad- But the tobacco erop Is very poor all over the world.

THE 0MA2f CATHOLICS. GBOWrH OF THB CB.UBCH IX THE WEST CREATION OF A NEW ARCHBISHOPRIC. Tnm Ou Bmltimor Sun, Sept. 4. About six months ago an Episcopal council took place la Cincinnati, Ohio, composed of leading ptelatea of tho American hierarchy.

Including Arch-blabopa Bailey, Kenrick, and McCloakey, of Baltimore, St. Leuia, and ITew-Tork, respectively, at which Important buaineaa appertaining to dinroaan affair waa rtasaaoted. This council met in St. Peter's Cathedral, Plum and K'ghlh stieets, Cincinnati, under the immediate direction ef Afoat Rev. John Baptist Pureell.

XL Archbishop ef Cincinnati, fifty years aoo a prominent priest of Baltimore, but now the olaest member of tbe American episcopate. At tbis conference of prelate several matter of latercat were diacaaaea, aad aureeationa made regarding important chanres. Among matters determined npon wore, the erection of lfilwan. kse, Santa Fee and Philadelphia into arehlrpiseopsl sees, tbe division of Su Paul. and Chicago, 111., into extra bishopric at St.

Cloud, aud 1'eoria, III-, and tbenominatimof cleriy to fill these dioeesea, all aubtect to the approval of Pone Pius IX. Toe action af tho council rerarding tne matter above named waa communicated to tbe Pope by Archbishop Bay ley, but the bull announcing the Uoiy Faibere approval haa not keen received aa yet. Information haa been received trout Boms by West-era arelatea, however, to the effect tbat has been raised to merropolitan dirnity by the Pope, and Right Key. Dr. Uenni preconuMd Archbishop of alilwanke.

The additional changes, it is believed, will be acted upon ia due course of time. Fourteen years having elapsed sine tbe foundation of the arvbdiocase, tho establishment of tbe present la aemething of aa event in eccle. aiaatical circles, especially in the far West, where hertofore but two metropolitan aeea have existed. As is generally knows. 'Baltimore holds the precedence among tbe archdioceses of 3'orth America, this eee having beea elevated ia l0rt, nfteea years alter BialiopCsrroirseonxcratioB.

Thence until leid all the bUhops of the United States were snflraaana to the iBctnabent at Baltimore, being obliged to participate at the various eouncile tbat happened triennially ia the Cathedral, unless lncspacited -by illness or other weixhly impediments. Inuring 1:46 the diocese of St. governea by Kight Ber. Peter Kk-hsrd Kentlck, (a brother of the late at ch bishop) became an archbishoprie. Four rears later Xew-York, ruled by tb eminent Dr.

Hughes, was raised, to the same position, and tbe subsequent decade witnessed the alternate elevation ot Kow-Orleana, Cincinnati, San Fraa-ciaoo and Oregon, ao that seven archepiacopal aces, aad conseqaeully seven ecclesiastical provinces existed ia lwa, where bat one eould be found twenty yea- a prevtoaa. The procresa of Catholicity la the Western State, particularly during tho last ten years, la best evidenced by the rapid increase of dioeesea, some of hick now exceed the eldest dioeesea ta wealth aad extent of territory. Among the klilwauke, Chicago, aad St. Paul at aad cow spicooos. From rereat statistic it appeal a tbat the newly-erected archduteeao of hlilwsukae actually com prise mora churches, clergy, religioua insutu-tioaa aad eevfrsseraitiea as the present day than aay sea ia ta Southern or the MidUle Sutea.

Tha bum may be said of Chicago and St. Paul, both' of which now rank foremost aJBoag tba larrr aeea la tbia country. Owing ta tho rapid envelopment of these diocear tb Prelates com posing the late council recommended tneir early elevation and division, and, aa expected, a favorable response has bee ruivd ia the former iaataaoa, aad will probably Boost be received eooeorninr the reaaaiader.

CrvpBs rnTBBrRO, Tuttrsday, Sept. 3, 1874. Both partifi have pat their State tickets in tba field, and the campaign may be said to be fairly open. Thna far, however, there baa been no demonstration of any kind, and from indication the State canvass will be a rather quiet one. Timea are hard, money acaree, aad people do not feel like giving freely, aa in former years, to get up what the reporters love to call remain meeting; of the people," enthusiaetio gatherings," and outpourings of the masses." Ia Western.

Pennsylvania, ae ia tact throughout ihe Cornmra wealth, the Republican nominations for State officers have been received with approval by the people and the press. Tint candidates for Lieutenant Governor and Supreme Court Judge are known to be men of sterling worth, while the nonuneea for Auditor General and Secretary of Internal Affairs bare shown their fitness by past serricos. In Central Fenn-aylTania, Judge Olmatead ia popular with men of all shades of political opinion, and will make severe inroads on the Democratio count there. Judge Paxson will undoubtedly bring strength to the ticket in Philadelphia, where the Democratic leaders are sore over their defeat in the State Convention held in this city last week. The ticket put forth by the Democracy ia remarkable only for its lack of strength, and for the heartburnings brought about, by the thimble-rigging resorted to in ita creation.

"Buck" HcCandleaa aside, the other gentlemen nominated are scarcely known beyond their own neighborhoods. Latta was a rank copperhead during the war, and did his utmost to keep up the "tire in the rear," which was expected to secure the triumph of the Confederacy. He served several terms in the State Legislature, but made no record worth mentioning. Temple, of Greene county, is a second or third-rate lawyer, and about as fit for the office of Secretary of Internal Attaira as Blind Tom. Woodward has a very good reputation as a lawyer and jurist in Berks and the adjoining counties.

So much for the ticket. Kow for some of the disaffected Bourbon leaders. William A. Wallace, of Clearfield County, went into the convention on the 2Gth ultimo as the champion ot of Bucks County, who wanted to be named for the Supreme Court Judgeship. On the first day he routed the Clynier and Bur tale elans, and was made both temporary and permanent chairman.

But ton the 27th came his downfall. At the hour of adjournment on Wednesday evening Boss led aU competitors, and would have been nominated omthe next ballot, but his opponents combined, forced an adjournment, and sealed his fate. After a night spent in caucusing and trading off," he slate waa fixed up which went through slick Wallace, who is really' the brains of tbe party, will not be likely to take inucli pit in the caimw, but trill attend to bia duties aa President of the Texas and Pacific BUwa7 Company. James 7. liinr, of tlie Pitteborg Fomt.

was Bupposedtahavea "garetuinxw on tho Auditor GenoraLJUip, but he waa outgeneraled, and feels sorely aErieved. He ia not expected to shod many tears over the defeat of his party in November. The friends of Judge Trunkey, of Veaaogo, claim that he waa beaten out of the nomination for Supreme udge by unfair means, and will not work very hard this campaign. Taking everything into consideration it is doubtful whether the western counties outside of Westmoreland and Greene, which furnish timber for the ticket will roll up the usual Democratio vote. The rank and file ore not too well pleased with tho platform of the Democracy.

While arraigning the Republican Party for ita responsibility for nearly all the ills which hare befallen the world from the flood until the present time, they entirely overlooked two questions in which men of all parties in this great nasnufacturmg and mining section are inter-estcxl, the tariff and reciprocity. Tba Be-publhrau declaration of principles, on the contrary, is received as embodying sound utterances on all the vital issues of the day. The great majority of the Democrats in Western Pennsylvania are strong. Protectionists, aud would like to have some authoritative recognition of the In the Seventeenth District Cambria, Bedford, Blair, and Somerset neither party has yet made its nomination for Congress. Hon.

John Cessna, it is more than probable, will be the Republican candidate. In the Twenty-first District Westmoreland, Greene, and FayetteAndrew Stuart, of Fayette, a son of old "Tariff Andy," haa been put in the field by the Republicans against Gen. Foster, of Westmoreland. Stuart will run well, but the district is overwhelmingly Democratic, and he has hardly the ghost of a chance of success. In the Twenty-second District part of Allegheny County there are three men ruining Gen.

James S. Xegley, Republican, James 1L Hopkins, Democrat, and lion. Thomas Howard, Independent Republican- 'The district Is ordinarily good for a large Republican, majority, and it is thought Howard cannot draw off enough vote from Negley to secure Hopkins' election. The Twenty-third District comprises the remainder of Allegheny County. Here the Republicans have set CoL Thomas KLBayne in the field, while the Democrats hare nominated Alex.

G. Cochran, Tins is looked upon as giving up tbe fight in advance, aa Cochran is a man of no strength politically. The temperance men and a few dissatisfied Republicans have been easting about for a popular man to run aa an independent- candidate, but so far have found no one willing to cast loose from party ties on such slender promise of victory. The Twenty-fourth district ia made up of the counties of Washington, Beaver, and Lawrence, and here Hon. W.

S. Moore, Republican, will be renominated and re-elected. In the Twenty-fifth District Clarion, Armstrong, Jefferson, Indiana, and Forest Hon. Harry 'White, of Indiana County, baa been nominated by the Republicans against George A. 7enks, of Jefferson.

Tbe district is Republican by a fair majority, and White's election is pretty well assured. In the Twenty-sixth District composed of Butler, Mercer, and Crawford, Hon. John M. Thompson, of Butler, will be the Republican standard bearer. There ia no question of his election, as all the counties giro majorities on the Republican side.

In the "banner county of tbe Union," Allegheny, party lines will not be so strictly drawn as formerly in local contests especially is this so in the cities. New elements have been infused into politic. Taxes hare been largely increased the assessed valuation of property has been advanced several hundred per the temperance agitation is kept up the water bond swindle has been exposed, and nobody punished i and people ara talking about time for a change in the administration of affairs," fee. Tbe county ticket recently nominated, however is morally certain to go through victoriously. There are some signs of disaffection In the First City Legislative District, bnt this will probably be healed before tbe election day comes.

In Butler County two Republican ean-didatea are running for President Judge Ebeaexer MaJankin and. Charles UcCaadleas. T23 partisans of the fanner hue latt jgmvDan, tyttmbtx 7, 1S74 with haying secured his nomination by fraud. In Armstrong County there are two Democratio candidates for Judge, the split being based mm charges of fraud at the primary election. In Fayette county there is a rupture ia the Demo-era too ranks, which will result in the election of about half the Republican ticket.

Tbe Republican State Central Committee, jmst announced, is a strong one. Hon. Russell Errett has again been chosen chairman, and will conduct the canvass with vigor and ability, lie haa stood at the helm through several severe political voyages, and always steered the Republican ship into the harbor of victory. The rumors connecting the names of State Treasurer If ackey and Hon. Russell Errett with aspirations for the United States Senatorship, to succeed Senator Scott, originated with tha Pittsburg Evening TtlegrnpK and hava no foundation.

The Telegraph is Senator Scott's peculiar organ, he being the chief owner of the paper, and it is a little singular that it should be the only professedly Republican journal in the State which refuses to support the State ticket. MURDERS IX TEXXESSEE. TmnTT-TOfE PEKSOXS KILLED TJC THREE COUXTIX3 WITH IX FIGHT MONTHS CRUEL ASSASSINATION- OF A TOCSO GIRL TEACHER. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Nsehville under date of Aug. 31, says In no section of the civilized world, of equsl population, is murder so frequent ss in Tennessee.

It ia doubtful if Mexico itself, supposed to be the most lawless of all countries, eaa compare with Tennessee in the nixmber ef murder committed during the past eight months. Daring that period, in tho counties of Rutherford, Sumner, and Gibson, there have beea thirty-nine murders. What a record is this for eight months in three counties, the aczre-gate population of which, all combined, is leas than oneaeventh that of Hamilton County, Ohio.

Hoar's reply to ths letter recently addressed to him by several citi-sens of the Ninth Congressional District of Hassa-chnsetta To Bon. PeUr C. Saetm and Othen tl rutu ks 1 have received yonr extremely courteous Utter S3, in which, with great earnestness, you express your desire that I sbould reconaider my determuiatioa not to be a candidal for re-election. As you well know, I have for a good while desired very strongly to be permitted to withdrew from public fife and to return to the practice of my profaaaion. Tbia waa not because of any tin willingness to do my share in the service of the Keppbiic, nor from any iudidnrenoe to tbe honor of repicmmiuig tlii community to which I am so strongly attached, and in whose high character I take ao giet a pride.

Bnt the time seems ts me to be at hand wbeu further absence from my profeaaiui. aad the devotion- of my time and thoughts to other du-tiea, would ao unfit me for ita practice, that I abould not be able to return to it- And I supposed there would be no difficulty iu agreeing uoou a anccesaor. But I aee attached to yonr letter the name of nien who represent fairly, aa it seems to me, tha buaineaa interests, the moral sentiments, and the beat political opinion of tbia oonimunity. It doe not contain tbe uamea of men wbo hold or wbo wish to hold political office, and ao may be supposed to have any wish or interest other tnaa for th general welfare or who have beea engaged ia any angry controversies in th past, and, ttierefor may be supposed to have their ndement blinded. I cannot doaut that you desire nothing but tbe public good and tbe promotion of Bepublican principle.

Under tbe circumstaneee I have no right to set np my Individual judgment, still less my personal interests or wishes, against the opinion yon exnreaa that it ia better that my withdrawal from ia office of your representative ia Con ureas should be deferred. I have no right, having aouepted nominations from tbe BepabUcana of Worcester city and county, when it waa a great pleasure aa well aa a great honor to receive them, now to aay that in deciding the question whether I a hall con una ia their service 1 will consult only my own wiahee or interest without sny regaru to theiia. If, therefore, it at i all appear at Uio coming election that tho people of Uie district agree wito you in the desire tbat I aball servo them for another term, I will do so aa well aa I can.

A PSDESTSZAX WIT BOUT HOXOB. The man who proposes to walk across the continent for 4100 per month and expense ia not graciously looked upoa by the San Francisco Bulletin.

THE SLIT THE BELFRY THE TOWX ITS FUTURE. There is a south-wester blowing ont at sea, and tbe white mist, soft and mysterious, is cmnta? across from the water, ana setuing on the town, until sober old Nantucket looks as if it was neatlins in cotton.

On one of the two piers Nantucket boasts of, (yon can sea vestiges of others, sow dissolrinf away in the water,) half dozen nsbiasT-ssnacka are moored. Thee smacks will ba in port bnt for a few hours, baring run in for a harbor until tne wina n.i.t, Aavk. Tha Mmva ara lounffins on the wharf, but now a aingle cart rattle along tbe dock and discharro it load or blue-nan. me fish are dumped on the ressel's deck and paid for by the skipper at about two cents a pouno. Then the excitement is over and the slip quiets down, and peace reigns once more.

But stay, there is a sign of activity about tbat other craft, a ear old schooner of some fifty tons. I repeat, trav and old. thouzh these are rather anti thetical phrases. By her build that vessel mart have been launched fully forty years ago, out aim is aa fresh, with her snow-white hull, and streaks of yellow, red, aad green, as pain and brash can make her. A red-facea young man, one of the hands, is bringing on deck various boxes.

There never was such a close connection as exists between the skipper of that craft and the vessel The Captain's face, though he is past sixty, has the ruddy hale of health his hair and beard, closely trimmed, are snow-white, and he sports a Jaunty yellow straw hat, with a blue streamer, and haa on his clean shore clothes. He is the representative of a class fast pasidnc away, for he is the prototype ot the Yankee trading skipper, an amphibious creation, half sailor, half peddler. On the deck are boxes of Malaga raisins, to warm themselves once more in the colder Nantucket sun, for now God's glorious light is tre.tchinir out srolden beams, riddlinff and dis persing the fleecy white clouds. Alongside of the boxes of raisins are barrels of wholesome but uopoetio beans and packages of soap. That skipper brings pine-apples, too, and lemons, and shoe-blacking and tin-ware.

Some fishermen from the smacks board the trader, I join them, and we purchase Connecticut jwrros, which, as cigars, recall the odors of a burning brush heap. I am introduced first to the skipper's dog. Brave, (a representative member of the crew,) and afterward to the dog's master. Mr friend Davy, from Noank, mate of one of the smacks, has already told me about this wonderful dog. Knows just as much as any sailor, which haint nUowed, however, to be much.

Blowedif he an't steer, or at least help the old man, holding tight on to the tiller brace. What's most Christian like is that he chews fine cut. That dog knows the coast, and smells land, and makes out the lights, and whines when he sees 'em. Ask the old man about him On foggy nights they put Brave forrard, and if a craft comes nigh he raises Jessie until the Captain wakes up. He is a fishing dog, too.

The skipper don't fish as a business, but when be drifts over the shoals am't averse to catch a cod or so. Him and that dog both takes a line apiece, vnile tkl'i ita flfiTftopfld' mh Bnva ait the line in nis tooeb. mud tho minute he feels bits he aeaMnpera oroas the deck. and wakes the fish taut. Tou needn't lauh, Boss, it's so.

I ain't fooling a bit Old man told sue once he foffrot aU about tbe dog. being busy bisaelf with a big fish. Wbeu he looked around, that dog was just a bringing in, hand over band, a thirty-pound eod, making a kind of living windlass or capstan of himself, and bad got, by winding hisself on tbe line, all tangled up, but he brought tbat fish over the rail'" Now, aa I had heard all about Frank Backhand's famous fishing cat, Puddles by name, I had no reason to doubt the present facts. Billy was put through some of his nautical acquirements, such as bringing tbe end of any particular strand to the Captain, and took in quite cleverly the slack of a rope. Tbe business of trading by wesscl is done up," said to me the skipper.

I stick to it because fayther and grnfuyther did it before me. Nantucket is so is the Vineyard. Got fooled awful on a passle of hymn-books for camp-meeting thar. Books wasn't the right denomination wrong stripe. Lots of them pious people boarded us for whisky, but I'm temperance, and would rather sink the craft than sell rum.

That dog has private instructions from me to pitch overboard every bottle of spirits as comes on board, and he does it. Ef I wasn't so old Tde give the old schooner a regular overhauling and put for the west coast of this country. There might be a power of trading up in Oregon and along the timber coast. When I was a boy I went whaling thar, as my fayther and granfayther did before me." I had exhausted the wharf, and I wandered into the town. The main street opens handsomely leads one along to kind of a modest public place, and then suddenly gives out.

I have seen just such effects produced by scene painters for the stage, where, with great deal of skill, a street ia depicted which ends in some cut de toe. But Nantucket Is far removed from anything theatrical, yet is not prosaic. -The streets toddle ajong as tbey list, bisected by innumerable lanes, by-ways, and wynds. Inexperienced, when yon take one of the latter, you find that short cuts rather lengthen the distances. It strikes me that Nantucket wants much paint.

Perhaps pigments and prosperity go hand in hand. But some houses are getting furbished, and dealers in oils (not whole) and colors seem thriving. I walk through narrow streets, crowded with little houses, all neat and trim, and band-box like, somewhat enlarged oopies of ships' cabins, bnt am more struck by an occasional weathercock than by the buildings. These weathercocks represent whales. Now I know there are styles and fashions in weathercocks, and that if you want one yon can procure a book of weathercock patterns, from whence a judicious selection can be made.

The ornithological emblem (the cock) has gone out of favor, and a hippie one, ot a trotting horse now mostly replaces it. But in Nantucket a great big cetacean veers to the wind, like some agile flying fish. There are not, however, many of these queer fish soaring aloft. Critical in regard to such subjects, I cannot, after some hours ramble, find but six of them. Lake the winged horse on the column of St.

Mark, these whales seemed to point, to some distant mythological period. Many time though have these old weather whales been watched with anxious, tearful eyes, for aa they turned and twisted, mothers, wives, daughters, and sweethearts have followed out far into unknown seas sons, husbands, fathers, and lovers. If I was the Nantucket Dry-as-Dust, I would watch over these poor old whales, care and tend them, and oil the vane so that that they might move glibly, and aome day when the tearing wintry blast bad done his worst, and hurled them all battered and splintered on tbe ground. I would pick np the fragments, and put them away, under lock and key, with a kind of reverence, as mementoes of a brave old time long gone pasU As I wander along tha streets early in the morning, names familiar to me appear in door-fronts. Though I have- never been in Nantucket before, I should have been, disappointed had I not met a Coffin, a Macey, Chase, or a Starbuck.

A disposition there is on my part aa if I was an old shipmate to ring at tbe belL to walk in, and to make myself perfectly at borne. Of course, on thel parlor mantelpiece I would nave found shell aa roseate and as tender ia eolor as when they were first, east np rolling a mknffWB Indian base be years on years ago, and in the eornern of the room, there would have been tare and catties of rare eld crackled ehina, and on the centre-table I would have seen miniature pagoda, and elaborate oabiueta) of Japannan with sperm whale a teeth, with a Bjcrmaid enzravei on one aide aad tho Lord's prayer on the other. Belike tbe host sp preeiatbrg my attention would nave invited me dins with nim, and a jorum ot punch eostearf present laws and tbeir rigor.) would have been brewed in a silver bowl, which massive piece ef plate had been beaten out of the virgin ingot in Carthagena by some Spanish blacksmith a century and more ago, and the bowl would have been filled with Bqnors which bold grandfather Silas or brave Uncle Ephraun had carried round the world, until the wines wer ovor-ripuod a handred year sine. There ia a church-tower of moderate height in the town, and from it aU Naatncket ean be seen. Here ia Water a man with a jpy-gTaa keeps watch and ward for disabled vessels drifting on a lee shore.

A Ml from Lisbon intones the hour with sweet yet grave ebtmes, for Portngsi make luseioo grape and harmonious broBse. On the belfry I found tbe tutelary genius ef Nantucket. Poor, gentle, Nantneket-loving, addle-pated fellow I with what seat be pointed out to me the beauties ef hia pretty isle, tbe slumbering town below us. ana the stretch of down and dune, and the gashes in tbe sand hills aa far away as Sankaty light, all fringed by tbe breaking blue sea. Great Caesar, from bis loftiest temple, with mighty Bom mapped out beneath bim, gazing on the magnificence ef his imperial city, could not have been prouder.

Farms said he. "There they be; some ef the finest in tho country. There is a little just a little patch of sand here and there for contrast. But it's mostly rich, good soil, and makes fine cattle. Don yon seel and that's a wood, and there, over there, away beyond, are doiejs blue-fishing.

I even know the men's names. It is a fine place; good enough for me anyhow. Don't th town look grand this morning I 8ee that house there Tbey are putting down brand new flagging on the sidewalk. People say I am crasv, but I ain't. I was born and bred here, aad never want to leave it, and everybody knows me and I know everybody.

Such lots of strangers as are coming here. (Conn-dentially) Whaling is done gone but that don't make any odds now. Edgartown, and Wood's Hole, and Oak Bluff; and those loose two-penny places scattered promiscuous around, kin take to religion, atrying to make a place of themselves, but old Nantucket is just anchored solid here, and must outlive them all. Ihere ha been no less than aeven new icecream establishments started here this very Summer. What's tabernacles and praying-booths to thatt It's a real go-ahead phvee.

Nobody knows it better than I do. I am town-crier, and do the bidding at the beef "Beef auctions," I inquired, "and pray what may be a beef auction Why, the butchers couldn't have it all their own way ia Nantucket with their beef, aad we soil meat of evenings. You come on th street to-night and you will bear me. Yon can buy a pound of teak if yon want to at publio outcry.1 It was pleasant to listen to hi euthuainstie babble over the queer old town. Passing by a vender of old furniture, with brie-m-bro propensities, I spied out a squat old chair mounted on three legs.

It wa elegantly stitf and wonderfully uncomfortable. Some vandal had painted it pea-green. It was undoubtedly the work of some joiner of Hull, or Bristol, or and was ante-revolutionary. Jly knife soon scratched ott the verdant sour color, and the dark, close-grained, brave old mahogany came out. What prises must be packed away in Nantucket garrets! Strange old corner clocks, and desks, aud cabinets, and tiles, and china, and rubbish of the last century.

Nantucket has but few shops, and their display is far from being ostentatious. In the harger Massachusetts towns, where the prohibitory liquor laws exist, 1 noticed the intense longing shop-keepers had to ornament their windows with bottles. Keenly appreciative of the people's cravings, in New-Bettiord. in the dry-goods establishments, conspicuous in tho store-iron ts were bottle. These were imply recipient for bay rum and t'lorida water.

tation-ers excited the thirsty with bottle of Tbadeus David'a best copying ink. In tho restaurants those craving stimulants were satisfied with fiiuffl taUles, flead- Wcfel mt with latins When szwdiMd closely the concents. 1 tba btbelav lftl Boat Laoes Oil," me JdaJt Vinegar." Ia face, I made np my mind tbat display of eome kind of bottle waa a necessity for the human race. The bibulous. however, both in New-Bedford aud Nantueket, inform su me tbat I eoukl get anything in tbe way ot strong drinks I wanted, which led me to suppose that flagons, noggins, and even casks, kegs, and rundieta replaced, in aome hocus pooua way, cruets of oil and phiala of vinegar.

Living in Nantucket is absurdly reasonable. Houses ia good order can be rented for the Summer at fabulously low prices, and yon can buy a house, land and all for one half of what the building cost to be put up twenty years ago. As to food, beef is fiftoen cents, mutton thirteen cents and there is no better mutton than Nantucket produeea. As to nah, five cents a pound ia what blue fisn or mackerel ean bo had for in season, or what eod hah can be had for all the year round. Vegetable such as are grown on the island are cheap, and exotics eome from the main land at less pricea bv a third than we pay for them in New-York.

In tbe Fall, the grapes are abundant, for Martha's Vineyard ia not a mehning ess name. The climate from July to to OcU-bjr ia simply delkdou. If it be warm oocaiondly, midday, at night and morning the glorious-sea breeses cool the air. It ia true southerly winds sometimes bring in the fogs, but they are never of many hours' duration. Methods of locomotion are exceedingly easy.

In less than twenty hours you can get here from New-York. There are three or four hotels, plain but comfortable, and excellent board can be obtained at private fiuuiliee. 1 "here is a eonAoinmie, a fund of easy, quiet, good nature about Nantucket wnich ia most winning. If Nantucket people are peculiar they are getting accustomed to the in-uux of strangers. Wonderful old men, octogenarians, walk hale and hearty about the streets, and crack jokes which have a certain fresh-salty flavor.

It delighted me to hear, "About when I went ont humpbacking, and ended by privateering or, How when I was nrst mate in 180 I was master in '21 we struck a sperm whale tn the Sea of Okosh, and by George, Sir, (I think it was George,) we took a lump of amber-grease from out of her that went to London, and was sold for a thousand Grand old fellows are they, who love to bask in the sun, end gossip and spin wondrous yarns. Of course, tbere is a dearth of tbe younger male element. An adolescent Nantucket man tears up his anchor, and drifts off into the world. Some of tha men never eome back still many whose life cruises are over float back be wrecked, with empty hatches, and others wbo sail homeward in argosies, freighted gunnel deep with gold, make once more old Nantucket their last port and haven. It was the bark Oak which, in 186D, made the last whaling cruise out of Nantucket, When she steered boldly from Sankaty light, her keel wrote on the lapping wave finis, to the Nantucket whaling business.

Since her tune no more whaling ventures have been made, or, perhaps, ever will be made. A new light no dawned in Nantucket. We needs must not smile at it- It may be a flickering ray aa ret. but still it glimmers. The wharveta lent with oil.

where bustled throngs of sailors, and Kanakas coming from and going on a forty-four months' cruise, are now trodden bv tourists, and jaunty young men and dainty young women take their tarings on tbe slips. Genteel Nantucket may have had bitter mil to swallow, but at last she has, nolens aWeMs, guliied down her title, for now it ia almost cer tain that in time to eome she will be a famous watering-place. if I had only the material ready for my Sanscrit tragedy, i should want to go to Nantucket and elaborate ail the five act of it there, so sure would I be of beoominir fresher and ban. pier in mind, and growing younger and stronger in body.
