NEW YORK, July 27th, 1876. ‘
TIIE PNEUMATIC TUBE.

An experiment is being tried in this city,
or rather has been tried, that will work a rev-
olution in the transmission of . mail matter,
Hollow tubes have been laid-from the“ main
Office of the Western Union Telegraph Com-
pany to its branches. In these hollow .tubes
are placed leather boxes, containing messages
-—the air is exhausted, and in a second the
dISpatch is at the Other end of the route.
The Pneumatic tube is cheaper than tele-
graphing for messages of any length, and as
theexpcriment has proved to be entirely suc-
cessful, tubes are to be laid to Philadelphia
and Washington very soon. The rate will
be something more than postage, of course,
but will be nothing as compared to‘ tele-
graphing, as a four-page letter can be sent as
cheaply as tenwords. Shpposc the. invent-
ive genius of the age should apply this idea
to passenger travel! How would it seem to
be boxed up, put in a 'tube, and sent from
Chicago to New York in an hour ? It. may
come to that. ' -

EMIGRAN'I‘S rson anew sermon. _
We have emigrants from all the countries
of the world but Alabia, and now that coun-
try has contributed its quota. Nine Arab
stonecutters having heard fabulous'aCcOunts
offiwages that were being paid in- this
co ' ,made their way hither, and landed
in New York last week. The poor fellows
could not speak a word of English or any
other language that could be understood by
any one here, and only by signs didIthey
make their wants known. They were disap-
pointed to find that thousands of stonecuttcrs
were out of work, and as they had no means,
of course they found themselves in Believue
Hospital, living at the expense of the city.
They are tall, intelligent, fine-looking men,
and having been given tools, showed wonder-
fulproficiency in their art. What is to be-
come of them heaven only knows. There
isn’t work for one-half the mechanics here,
and new-comers fare badly. We couldsp'are
Arabia enough stone-cutters to build over its
entire territory. . .
run near AND HEALTH. ' .
Never in the history of the city has there
been so longa term of heat. 'For almost a
month the thermometer has kept up into; the
nineties, and for many days together going
above a hundred; right along through: the
night as well as day. The mortality
among children has, been frightful. In
the lower part of the city Where they. are
huddled together in badly-ventilated dens,
where a hundred exist in a room insufficient.
for a single family, the poor innocents have
died by the thousand. The physicians .and
charities have done, all that was possible,§but
to little purpose. The children could .not'
live in an atmosphere heated like a furnhcc,
in which air could not come; and then their
food was not such as would enable them to
withstand the debilitating efiects of the heat,
and so, despite Of doctor and nurse, the little
ones went by the thousand. In 'one'of those
human hives in the lower part of the :city,
one hundred and fifty children died during
the month. " .

 

THE ICE cussTIoN.

And while the heat is so intense, and. con.
sequently, the uses for ice multiplying, the
ice companies in the most heartless: manner,
have doubled the price. No one out of New
York can appreciate how oppressive .such a
raise is. The water runs on an average fifty
miles inpipcs, and before it reaches the con-
sumer is as warm as dish-water. In fact it is
entirely unfit for use. The ice business is3 in
the hands Of two companies,‘and being thus
placed, it is a huge monopoly. To erect ico-
houses on the Hudson, to build depots in the
city, to buy thousands of horses, and to .fit
up thousands of Wagons to deliver the ice,
requires so much capital that cOmpetition, is
impossible, and the whole city lsst tth'ezmeb
cy of the two great corporation thati are ,in
business. They fix their own prices and
terms, and the people are compelled. to sub-
mit- Consequently the thOusands'of people.

. who were using only half what they should
before the raise, will be compelled 'to do
without it altogether, and a fearful increase
of mortality may be looked for. ;

m TILTONS.

The Tiltons are still in trouble. Theodore
has taken the boy Ralph to his father’s house
in New Jersey, leaving Mrs. T. only one ,of
the children, at which the lady demure, and
will take legal steps to get pomsion. Mrs.
Tilton is in close straits Ito live. She ha,
kept boarders,‘but-failiag in that, has been
reduced to the necessity of sewing .by the

. day.. Mr. Tiltonhas’ sent her, moneylgtime
and again, but she has outbognlxérerhs‘od _to
accept assistance from him in fi-‘auy form.
Tildcn has tried to get money to her by
round-about ways, so that she should not
know that it came from him, but in every in-
stance she‘has detected his good intentions, {
and returned it.’ vIn’One instance she sent

back money that came from a particular:

friend of her mother, for fear that it came
from Theodore, and no assertions to 'the coin.
trary could make her believe, but that he sent-
it. She is a stubborn little woman and will
die before she will be under obligation to
him. The old scandal is_I_ very, likely, _tO be

To the War Veterans—A Stirring

’ The. executive committee of the Union
Soldiers and Sailors held 'a meeting in Wash-
ington on J uiy 6, and made arrangements
for the coming campaign. It was decided to
hold a mass convention in Indianapolis on the

for‘th'e canvass was decided upon, and the
following address to the men who served in
the army and navy of the Union was agreed
upon: - »
HEADQUARTEIIs UNION VETERANS NATIONa
, AL ComiITTIIE, FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, }
New YORK CITY, July '17, 1870.

To the Soldiers and sailors who sowed in.

the UnionArmy and Navy during the
-. Miser l l I - ,

Columns; The undersigned, a commit-
tee appointcd by your grand national con-
vention, held at Pittsburg,'Penn., September
17 and 18, 1.872, hereby invite you to meet
in mass convention at Indianapolis, Ind.,',
on Wednesday, the 20th day of September,
1876, at ten o’clock, a. m., to~ express your
sentiments in favor of the principles for
which you contended on flood and field, and
to endorse the standard-bearers of the party
which sustained the Union and your efforts
to preserve it while endangered by domestic
foes. . '

In the war against the rebellion you ofiered
your services and perilcd your lives to
maintain and perpetuate the Union establish-

, .ed by our fathers. Returning to your homes

after your great victory over its foes, you

resumed the peaceful pursuits of civil life,
but as good citizens of the republic ' which
your valor had preverved, you lost none of
the inspirations of national honor and patriét-
ism, and abated nothing from your purpose
to perpetuate the principles for which you
had been contending. ‘ ' .

Since the war you have met at the ballot-
box the some political organization which
used its influence against you while fighting
in the field—the party many of whose leaders
boasted in congress, even while the war‘ was
in progress, that they had “never. voted a
dollar or a man to carry on this unholy war”
-—the party which, in 1.804, in national con-
vention, adapted the resolution declaring.
your efforts in the field a failure, and de-_
manding a cessation of hostilities;

It is the old fight again ; the same party
and the same men are arrayed against you.
Upon the issue of the contest depends the
question whether history shall vindicate you-
or, your opponents—whether you or. they
were fighting on the right side. f

The democratic party are at this time,
as ever, true to their sentiments-and3 they;
have presented two candidates who had little
sympathy for you or your Cause. That party.

whom you conquered in the field, and, if
successful, it will be dominated and led: by
the same political element. Crippled Union?
soldiers will be removed from public offices,-
as‘they have been, and their places filled by
Confederates. . -

At such a time, and in such a'contest, the
Union Veterans must act together for once
more. Let us then come together at Indian-
apolis, not as partisans, but as ' patriots who
have once offered their lives a sacrifice for
their country, and who are ready to be its.
defenders in peace as they were in war.

The committee desires to organize com-
panies, regiments, brigades, divisions, and
corps of boys in Blue, with uniforms of hats,
capes and torches. Full details of the plan
of organization will be furnished (in applica-
tion to the secretary, with whom all, persons
who approve this call are invited to corres-V
pond. Fraternally yours,
