Alter standing lt valiantly In the city for sev? eral .weeks, a party of New Yorkers left town and went to Long. Branch, there to lave tb?l? forms m the. fresh brine and to enjoy the cool hree^fromthe-sea.-, They took the boat the foot bf Murray street, and, to get seats, wt nt aboard aa liour beforethe time of starting. -In so doing they went to the hottest spot tafe side Qf thetorrtd J zone. J The sun beat down on the thin hoard ceiling ' . and warped the paint and made them cross. The reflection of the sun's light beat up irom 1 Nf&wMn ?nd gave them a headache. "Will* w ibpsttgever start ?" they, almost screamed in anguish. It may be remarked here that the weather;: waar excruciatingly hot. -OtlWr wretched beings came to the boat They- came burdened "with carpet-bags and wives and-wives' sisters, and bundles oTnews papera' and babies; and each wretch looked hotter, than the preceding wretch. But they .^a? deluded themselves by murmuring, "Wait tul ttteoo.it starts: walt till the boat starts." They ; wak'd. A dirty cloud of dust came tip1 from West street, and a disagreeable odor floated up from the vicinity of Washington Market rThe butchers in that peaceful resort said, 1 "Ita Infamously hot," and the butter dealers gnast ed their teeth with rage. Jn the. meiintlme the. people on the Long Branchf?oa!r simmered' and stewed. Their numbers werev. constantly increased by fresh arrivals. By and by a fie udish expression of. . 0VC1.-8Pread their faces. The seats were get? ting scarce. Each, man clutched his seat as it he could part with it only with bis life.

Then began a hot'?aoeJfor the cars.'' ' Tba shady firle was rapidly filled and the sun revelled in dazzling radiancy on the 3 j and hy the train arrived at Long Branch, where a number ot hot, open carriages were in walting.

MONARCHS OF TH LAND. These mighty potentates were not the own? ers-of tb? soil, bot those dread beings known as hotel clerks. It was. almost pitiful to be? hold the abject humility bf the heated, wearied travellers as they bent low in spirit before the** arbiters br their destiny. ' Some feebly tapped tue counter to arrest their attention; bolder ones'reached out umbrella' handles, essaying to took them by the arm; others ioqked pleadingly In their laces, as a whipped dog might; ona all this time OOO Of the impas? sive; clerks, scanned the fresh names o? the hotel- Agister, while the others glared In a - Cai**; stern manner from over their ramparts at tba besieging and beseeching crowd. i>Ter.and anon, but only at long intervals iniarmtitem longum. as the classic writer beau? tifully hath it--would the clerkly arbiter utter a lound.

Thus one by one would the .rj?a?u_r? seekers be banished to unknown dis _? course of an hour or two there would Iso heard, murmurs from these far-off spheres. One or two men escaping from their Afrites would force their devious way down again, and prostrating themselves before the clerkly arbiters,: would humbly ask for another apart? ment.' "I cant sleep In a room as big as a collin. Just under the roof, and with a window that won't be opened," said one poor pleader Bot he was told that it waa .the best he could have, and so he went back In disgrace. - The fact is that the hotel clerks like to fill up their houses f em the top downwards. Ills with' them a matter of pride to fill the hottest and highest rooms before they do any of the others. They always, however, have good rooms on the lower floors for any one thev chance to know, or for any one who happens to have any celebrity as a politician; but to mankind in general-especially mankind who cornea to the hotel without a wife-they are deadly and Implacable foes. They love to put the timid bachelor In hot little rooms on the top floor, where he suffers all the tortures that 8llvlo Pellico did 50fto t piombi. Stony-eyed, heartless and unrelenting. Insolent, arrogant and untruthful, the hotel clerk of the period ls one ot the most baleful products of- the worst phases ol modern civilization. a HOT HIGHT. The poor wrelohea to whom I alluded earli? er in tbts letter as'getting on the Long Branch boat in nodue baste, found the culmination of their suffering* at the leading bael at Long Branch. For five dollars a day they occupied a miserable 1 ttlo room with beds like those iu a hospital ward, stud a great searoitv of water to wash tn. The7 bad Plenty of towels and an overpowering, display of gaslicht. At the tibio, after long" waiting ihey. obtained good food, trat onry through'a Btrategem un worth v of np^ -sight men; foi they beforehaud foucd'out the name of the walter and accosted him familiar? ly, asking him if he did not rememhert hem at Saratoga; whereat lie grinned, and with Toed hope of fee? ministered onto them. Bot the night! Hit-had been allowable to sleep on the" sea sands slumber might have visited their eyelids; but being miserable con? ventional creatures, they thought they must needs sleep in a bed. The room had been thoroughly boated during Ihe-recent hot days, and with its tiny little peep-hole of a window could not get cool. They tossed miserably about, and as they were thrust two and three m a room they held- hot converse. I think I have already remarked that it had been a hot day. "I," said one, "live in New York. Alas Would I were now in mynative entiers." "1," murmured another, wiping his oro ff with his pillow case, "I have at home a big spacious room, with three great windows and a door opening on a cool entry. Wby am I not there now?" "I," feebly gasped a third, "L too, in the city nave a treasure in a corner noose over looking a park. I have ice water to drink. J have ice cream before goiug to bed. I do not sleep next to the root at home." Iben he fell back fainting. "Hark !" ejaculated another. who waa evi dently delirious; "methinks I heard 'the cool Croton dashing into my bath tub. And ab ! how refreshing the patter of the shower bath !" So they each babbled of home; and after many turnings they arose at daylight fluffy and hot, and took the first train for the first New York boat. Then they vowed tbat bot as New York waa in its hottest days, it waa ooo] and luxurious com pared "to a night at Long Branch; and I doubt, much whether these worthy burghers will' ever again go to the Branch, or anywhere else, when the weather ia aa warm aa it ia now, and when they have com? fortable homes in New York City to sUy in. A STRIKING WORK OF AMT. Valentine's Bast of Lee. The Bichmond Dispatch prints the following careful criticism of the bust of General R. ?, Lee, the work of Mr. Edward Valentine, a young and promising Virginia sculptor, whose I studio- in Bichmond, Va., is well worth visit? ing: Amid the clash of contested elections, rail? road consolidations, ?c., &c, with which our minds have of late been so constantly Ulled, we have scarcely had either the leisure or the space in our columns to turn our thoughts from the severe materiality of positivism to the more tranquil and perhaps none the less enduring studies of art and literature. IQ the studio of Edward Valentine, however, we nave, recently seen the image of one on OD whom fortune has not of late smiled, but who amtd the general wreck around him, has stood as erectas ever, and borne the same serene, god-like aspect, whether crowned with success or overshadowed by defeat. The life and character of Robert E.: Lee need no comment at our hands. They are - written in golden letters, not of this earth. We would simply call the attention of our readers to the bust of him. In plaster, recently executed by: Valentine InLexlngton^aad brought thence to ; this city. Without hesitation wo pronounce it to be one ot the noblest busts of modern sculp? ture, worthy of the highest niche -in our na? tional temple-our Pantheon-hereafter to be built-and to hold an equal place with Hou don's Washington or Gait's Jefferson-. The keen, penetrating eye, quick to com? mand, and yet ever ready to sympathize; the eagle beak; the full and yet finely cut nostril; the firm, determined mouth; the noblv-poisod I head; the strong, manly neck and "massive shoulders-such as even the son ol Telam?n 1 might nave-envied; the well developed fore? head-strong In the bold outlines of deep thought, and not enervated by too heightened an imagination; mark -well and most truthful Iv the man whose whole life has been a sub? lime sacrifice to principle-who has ever been the same, whether at the head of his victori? ous legions, or among the mountains of his native State teaching the children of his be loved South "Because right ls right, to follow right Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence. j In this qust of Lee, Valentine bas, we think excelled anycf his former works, and shows himself a higher and more correct master ol his art than in any of his other busts, if we ex? cept Mosby and one or two others in his studio. He has not here dwarfed his subject by :oo much minuteness. The bust of Lee, like those by All the great masters ot old, stands out in all its mighty and godlike proportions. Greek and Roman statuary was like thc Greek drama The prods were eye-witnesses ol' both. Th Greek theatres were expressly left uucovered that the gods might be spectators of the scene; Tor a great man struggling with adversity was considered a sight worthy of the irods. Cn their temples and their theatres alike stood their sublime statuary. Hence in their tragedy are protrayed bold, prominent, superhuman, and overpowering passions ; ?ind in their statuary strong and commanding features that overawe all inferiors. In trage Jy they never attempted to delineate the ?ne, delicate, ephemeral fancies of every-day life; nor In their statuary did they ever attempt that particular study of detail which may be jammed with a microscope in .painting rh ese two kindred arts scarcely belong to the same province.- The all-embracing field of the one, and the sublime solitude of the other, cao rarely, if ever, meet, IQ painting within a narrow* canvas we can at the same time look at the sublime and the beautiful. By its unlimited lights and shadows we can see Ina small compass that "dread and silent mount,'* rising forth from its silent sea of pines, within sight-. o? the Swiss chalet, covered with eglantine and the. wild clematis. Not so In sculpture. But one thought, at one time, can occupy ita mind, whether it be the Lao? coon, the Niobe, the Faun of the capitol, or Gait's'Bacchante. I: can never unite the dif? ferent conceptions in one. Among the Greeks the first two wero considered the more pecu liar province of statuary. It is rare that we see in the Ufhzzl,the Vatican, or the Louvre examples of the two last. With the Greek and earlier Romans, statuary always partook of deity. That fixed, never-changing aspect, forever sealed in stone, must be above this sublunary, changeful world. It must be one ffrand, sublime thought, not divided or lost n minutiae. Even the young Augustus, at the age of twelve years, has upon his brow the stamp of deity. The twelve Csesars, with all their- crimes, etti! command in their pres? ence an awful silence, and the spectator recog? nizes In them the majesty of Imperial Rome. This oneness in statuary must always be re? cognized and pursued if the artist ever hopes for success. If his concept is noole, grand, and mighty, he must not divide up Into a thousand minutia to attain what the vulgar would call accuracy. Modern sculptors too often sacrifice their first great ideal to thlB common taste. How often have we seen a noble bust rendered almost contemptible by the Parisian care with which the hair and the beard are combed out ? We are glad Mr. Val? entine has avoided thia error in his bust ol Lee, and we trust that if he ever idealizes lt be will never take aught from lt present maj istj. Sculpture cannot, like painting, repre? sent the hair in its light, waving, fleecy strands; it can only represent it in masses; ind if it attempts to give it only its natural thickness Jt will appear to He c?es?; j pressed to the head instead of being raised, and will proportionately shorten tho length or the head. The old sculptors knew well this error, and avoided it. We repeat we are glad Mr. Valen? tine has done the same. We have been thus lengthy ia our remarks on this bust of Lee as we regard lt as a noble work that belongs to the nation. We under? stand it has given universal satisfaction in Lexington, and that General Lee himself spared no time or trouble to render the artist's work successful. He knew that posterity would ask for an accurate and truthful repre? sentation ol' himself, and, like Cromwell, he wished to be known as ho really was. It was but just to his country that Lee should leave to them as accurate a representation of him? self as possible. This bust ls still in plaster, but we trust it will soon be in marble. We would ask of Mr. Valentine as a particular favor that he would illow his cast just as it ls, in all Its primary roughness, to be exhibited in some store or room more accessible to the public than his present studio, as it is a work with which the public should become well acquainted; and we eel assured it will meet with thc admiration jf all. Such a bust of such a man is a nation's irard, and should be a nation's monument. ANECDOTES OF DICKENS. (Ir. Fielcls's Atlantic Article-Thc Wit, Humor anil P a t n o s of thc Great Author-His Enthusiasms for Fechter -Two Fresh American Notes. The following anecdotes about the late Mr. )ickens are taken from tue At lau tic for Lugosi: . ?j HE CH AIE Ot WHICH WASHINGTON FAILED. TO n' SIX.

Dickens wrote: "There is a chair (without a bottom) sit a shop near the office, which I think would snit you. It cannot stand or itself; bnt wdl almost seat somebody, if you put it ia I corner, and prop one leg np with two wedges, and cut another leg off. The proprietor asks ?20, bnt says he admires literature, and would take .?18. He is of republican principles, and I think would take ?1719s. G J. from a cousin; shall I secure this prize ? It is very ugly and wormy, and it ia related, but without, oreo! that on one occasion Washington declined to sit down in rt." "~ " A CAN INX LXPaBlENCBAT WASHINGTON. Ur. Dickens always -had much to say of ani? mals aa of men, and there were certain dogs and horses he had met. and known intimately which it was specially interesting to him to remember and* picture. There was a peculiar doc in Washington which he never tired of delineating. The first night Dickens read io the capital thia deg attracted hie attention. "He came into the ball by himself," said he, "got a good place before the reading be?an, and .paid strict attention throughout. He. cune the second night, and was ignominiously ebpwn out by one of the check-takers. Un the third night he appeared again with another dog, which he had evidently promised to pass inxree;bnt ycmeee,"contraued Dickens, "upon the. .imposition bem&.unmasked the other dog apologized by a boni and withdrew. His in? tentions, no doubt, were of the beat, but be afterward rose to explain outside, with such inconvenient eloquence to the reader and his audience i that they were obliged to put him dowo s taire." . WEATHER QUOTATIONS WITH THE CONDEMNED On one occasion, during a walk, .Mr. Dickens chose to run into the wildest of vacar?es about conversation. The ludicrous vein be indulged in during that two honre' Btreten can never be forgotten. Amone other things, be said he had often tbongbt h--w restncte/1 one's conver? sation most beoome wheo one was visiting a man who waa to be hanged in half an hour. He went on in s most surprising manner to imag? ine all sorts of difficulties in the way of becom? ing interesting to the poor fellow. "Suppose, said he, "it should ba a raiay morning while you ar a making the caji, yon could not possibly indulge in the remark, 'We shall have fine weather to-morrow, sir,' for what would that be to him? For my part, I think," he said, "1 should, confine my observations to the days of Tahua Casar or King Alfred" DICKENS AND A PARISIAN AUDIENCE. . Ur. Dickons liked to talk about tb? audiences Lhat oame to bear him read, am he give the nairn to bis Parisian one, saying it was the inickest to catch nia meaning. Although ne ?id there were many always present, in his room in Paris Ttho did not fully understand hlugliah. yet the French eye ia so qnick to de? lect expression that it never tailed instantly to indera tan d what be meaut by a look or an act. Thoa, for instance," he said "wheo I was mpersonating Steerfortb in 'David Copperfield' ?nd gave that peculiar grip of the Hand to Emi v'u lover, the-French audience burst into beere ard rounds ot applause." He said'with reference to the preparation of hie readings, bat it waa three months' bard labor to get up me of bis own stories for public recitation, md he thought he had greatly improved bis veeentation or the "Christmas Carol" wt ile n this country. He considered the storm scene in ' David Copperfield" one of the moat ?fi', ct: ve of bis readings. The character Ol Jack Jopkins in "Bob Sawyer's Party" he took ;r.-at delight in representing. )ICXENS'B FZUST ACQUAINTANCE WITH FECHTER.

He loved to lescnbe eeeiag bim first, quite by accident, in ?ari8, having strolled iuto a littlo theatre there ;nc night. "He waa making love to a woman,-' Dickens said, "aud he BO elevated h ?r as weh M himself by tho -en timen t in which bo enve' iped her, mat they trod in apirerether,and ii another aphere. quite lilted out of the pres ut.

" THE PARAGRAPH DISEASE.
