THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 18G9. H a ot-tto n ic i s i 3. From Our Own Orretpoiuttnt. New Youk, Sept. 21. Jamt Fink, Jr.'n, Nrr Paper. News for you. Mr. James Fink, Jr., who runs cabs, theatres, opera-houses, steamboats, 8unday schools, and railroads, Is gcttlnir out a newspa lor. llavltifc penetrated the mystorlos of every othor excitable field of action ho, burns to knovr what It Is to assume editorial responsibility. lie has walked the planks of steamers In a commo dore's outfit; ho has ogled and boon ogled from that glarinr andobtruslveboxattheOrand Opera Hou3C; he run Btock up and down like a Wall Street Jupiter manufacturing and dispensing thunderbolts; ho has provided free cabs, nud talked of providing cheap steamboats; he has quarreled with Sabbath-school teachers and stage managers; the success of his "cheek" has bceu the object of the envy and detraction of all less successful men of like propensities, and now it Is only natural that he sh6uld strive for one con quest more. That conquest is to be found only In newspaperdom. lie longs to penetrate the secret of abuse, and probably we shall have flaming editorials of invective to which those of red-hot Brick Pomcroy will bo but as frost and Ice. This is no mere canard that I am repeat ing. Whether the ' newspaper ever appear or not, it Is true that the project is now growing In the Fisklan brain. When and where it will appear, and by whom it will be edited, are questions yet to be answered. Its title even has not yet been decided . upon. The Daily Fizzle would probably do as well as any other, and indicate with sufficient accuracy the quality of its success. It is under stood, however, that a private telegraph Is to extend from the editorial-room to the private box at the opera-house usually occupied by the big man. Intelligence from all parts of the world can thus be transmitted to him any mo ment between 8 and 12 F. M., without the neces sity of his leaving the box, or scarcely turning his eyes from the stage. It would be Interesting to learn whether the new paper (which, for all I know, may bo one of several, all dally) Is to bare colored Illustrations like the Western World. This would be useful In case of rail road accidents, even if it were possible to decide where the responsibility, or rather the Eric sponslbllity, rested. Wall Street Yesterday was In a high, state of excitement. The Gold Clock, In Maiden lane, between Broadway and Nassau, was surrounded by about four hundred people, eagerly watching Its incessant variations. "What's the time of gold ?" may be said to have been the question. The hand on the face of the indicator kept jumping about every thirty seconds. All this was caused by the report that Vanderbllt had "cornered" thirty millions. Tho main features, however, con nected with the astonishing fluctuations iu gold will already have been made known to you by telegraph. English nod French Opera. The English opera troupe continues to attract excellent audiences. On Wednesday evening an amusing incident occurred while Parepa-liosa was essaying the role of "Marltana"in the opera of that name. The "Marquis do Torrenueva," it will be remembered, having occasion to refer to his difficulty In recognizing "Maritana," explains that his hesitation arose from her having "grown fio" during the interval since he last saw her. The appropriateness of the expression "grown so" to the "meaty" cantatrice (who was looking as lovely as so diminutive a creature could) was too appropriate to be lost. Tho house grinned from ear to ear I should say from pit to gallery and the reverberating smiles of the galleries were reflected upon Parcpa's own countenance. The entire auditorium laughed and (Parepa) grew fat. It was a sweet and oily interchange of geniality. May that "grown so" never be cut in subsequent representations. As to the French opera, tho first presentation on Wednesday night of La Juivc was not a suc cess. Without being a dead failure, it was a disappointment. People expected more. I understand that tho best soprano of the troupe, Mad'lle Euphemle Bleau, will make her first appearance to morrow evening in Let Mousque- taires de la Heine. Of Madame i aye r auscnctll, who has hitherto undertaken the role of "Rachel" In La Juive, the best that can be fiaid is that she is a scoond-class singer, whose voice has seen its best days. Before the con clusion of the second act it became painfully evident that it was much worn. As no puffery had preceded the arrival of the troupe, however, . the critics have been reticent, with the excep tion, perhaps, of the censor of the World, who precipitates his complaints into very artistic crystals of criticism. Yesterday morning the first rehearsal of Twelfth Night took place at Mr. Daly's theatre, the Fifth Avenue. Mrs. Scott-Siddons was the star. She arrived at this port a few days since, and will doubtless realize as much money from the American public as she did last year, when sho refused to play Miranda for Mr. Tayleure under a salary of $1000 per week, and travelling ex- penses paid for herself and suite. But if Olive Logan got as much as that (as in her new book she avers she sometimes did), I think Mrs. 8cott Biddons may be pardoned for running away with our greenbacks. The latter lady at any rate has vouth and beauty, and is not without a certain promise, however poor her present ce ftlizatlons of Shakespearian heroines may be. On the Rampage. The fair revolutionistes who contribute to Miss Anthony's paper, and constitute the pillars of the Woman's Suffrage Association, have found a new sublet to quarrel over at their last meet lng. This subject is talk Mrs.Wilbour thought that too much "talk" had been indulged in already. Sho wanted the association to do something; Mrs. Bronson (who has only lately become anything of a shining light) thinks that after all women would not be able to do much If associated with men in politics. She thinks . the men would get the upper hand and keep it, and convert the women merely into intriguing politicians. At this point Mrs. Stanton rose In well-attempered wrath this lady never lose her temper, but sometimes lets It fnr a little while, like a bird with a string attached announced her entire disagreement from her reckless sisters. Woman would purify the elections, she thought. Elizabeth Fry had T-iflA,i nrlnnns In her day, and there was no reason why tho woman of the period should not elevate politics in hers. Mrs. Trowbridge here in nnd said that she entirely agreed with Mesdaincs Bronson and Wilbour in thinking that 'eomethiug" should be done, but refrained from -.Mffliiff what tho sometmng snoum . u fact, the association was for the time on the ramnaee. The tender point was touched. It is this unknown, unattainable Something which U Se mat incubus. What sister Is It that shall Jbeet5e Ht to exclaim .'Eureka!" and convulse solution of the women's-rightsism wiiu ucr riddle of the age ? Ali Baua, PHYSICAL. AUD IR ASIATIC. Mr. Edwin float aa "Shylock." Mr. Booth's preecnt engagement promises to fie one of the most brilliant that he has ever played in this city. Tho theatre has been filled to its utmost capacity every evening with fashion able audiences, and the warmest appreciation of Mr. Booth's efforts has been shown. Last evening The Merchant of Venice was performed with Mr. Booth as "Shylock." This is ouo of the lenst satisfactory of Mr. Booth's persona tions, and yet in many respects it is one of his very best as an artlntlc study. His conception of tho part is original and picturesque, his "make-up" excellent, aud his actitig in some of the difficult scenes Is entitled to the highest commendation. Ills voice, however, militates greatly against his success, aud while the more critical admirers of the drama will always hold Mr. Booth's "Shylock" in esteem for its Intrinsic merits, it will never make the same impression on a miscellaneous audience as Ills '-Hamlet or "Iago," the last named of which is, in our opinion, his best performance. The American (Jonsekvatory op Music. On last Wednesday afternoon, before one of the largest onii most select of Philadelphia audi ences, the thirty-first matinee of tho American Conservatory of Music took place. The pro gramme for this occasion was very fine and complete. Tho overture toMo.art's "II Seraglio" was ph'tyed by the professors and pupils of the orchestral department, aud gave general satis faction. The concerto in (J minor, Op. 37, Beethoven, Jot piano, with orchestral uccom- Fanlmcnt. was executed by Professor John F. iimmclsbacb in correct and effective style. The "Traumbilder (Dream Pictures) Fantasic," by Lumbye, was performed by the members of the orchestral department with good taste, aud produced a marked enect upon tne audience. Tho first concerto, A minor, Op. 14, Goltcrman, for violoncello, with orchestral accompaniment. was played with the fine stylo and expression peculiar to Professor Hennlg. The most re markable performance of the afternoon, how ever, was the violin solo, consisting of two parts ("Variations do Bravoures," for tke O string only, by Pnganlnl, and "La Cascade," by De Kontskll. nertormed hr Professor Wenznl J. Kopta, tho brilliancy of whose execution took the audience completely by storm. The singing by both professors and" pupils was remarkable tor correctness ana elegance. The whole per formance was meritorious, and gave evidence of tho great care bestowed In the general manage ment ot tne conservatory. The City Amusements. At the Walnut Mr. Edwin Booth will have a benefit this evening, wticn he will appear as 'Uaucie Meinottc in uulwcrs drama oi The Lady of Lyons. iiie same bill win bo repeated at a matinee to morrow. At the Chesnut the drama of Tlie Marble Heart will be performed this evening. at the auch tne regular season will com mence to-morrow evening with tho performance oi auiwers comedy ot Money, un Monday Bouclcault's drama of Formosa will be pro duced. At the Eleventh Street Opera House the minstrel troupe will appear this evening in an entertaining selection of negro eccentricities, songs, comic and sentimental, and a variety of omer popular periormances. The Theatrical Guide, edited by Robert N. Renshaw, is the neatest and most attractive little sheet of its class that we nave seen. It gives the nightly programme at the Chesnut Street Thea tre and otiier places ot amusement, and is dis tributed extensively in all hotels, music stores, and railroad cars. It is handsomely printed on fine paper, and its columns furnish an agreeable variety of light, gossipy literature, suitable for reading between tho acts. It gives all the latest theatrical news, and It Is a pleasant sou venir of a performance for theatre-goers to carry home with them. CITlflTEMS.

The more prudent, aware that a violent Cough or Cold should never be trifled with, but on the contrary taken care of from its Incipiency, promptly make use of Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant, a curative which has sustained its reputation for over thirty years as a remedy always efficacious, and sure to exert a most beneficial in fluence on all the Bronchial and Pulmonary organs. Sold by all Druggists. " Clothing Exhibition. Messrs. Wanamaker A Brown held open house yesterday to the multitude, upon the opening of their fall trade. We wore about to say at their establishment, Sixth and Market streets; but that does not express the locality. Market street has a goodly share of the buildings, while on Sixth street they loom up as far back as Minor street, and in a few years will doubtless assert their prerogative over the entire square. A fine band of music, playing delightful airs, caused a sensation in the neighborhood, and when persons approached to in quire the occasion of the novelty, they were courteously and politely invited to walk through and inspect the premises. We undortook the task, but gave it op some what bewildered with the extent of the establishment and the immense amount of ready-made clothing. The counters and shelves were filled with every sort of fabrio, made in all manner of styles and trimmed accord ingly. The natty and fastidious young and the sterling mechanic, the aged and the young, could all be suited, no matter bow varied their tastes, from some one of the hoap ing counters. What puzzled us was the excessive regu larity in all of the details. Any sized coat, pants, or vest could be fixed upon at a moment's notioe, and everybody seemed to know just where each number of garment was located. In the evening, the hundreds of gas burners were lit, and a geneial illumination of the building was the result. It is true there are about 800,000 resident men, youth, and boys to be clothed, saying nothing of the thousands who come from other counties and States, and it is only by this knowledge that we cannot account for the neces sity of so much clothing. A delightful feature of the whole is to contemplate the vast number of men and women who are furnished with plenty ot work, at good wages, by Messrs. Wanamaker A Brown. Keep the Body in Good Repair. It is muoh easier to keep the lysteiu in good condition than to restore it to that condition when shattered 1 Jisease. The"House of Lifo,', like othor houses, should be promptly propped up and sus tained whenever it shows any sign of giving way. Tae first symptom of physical debility should be taken as a hint that a stimulant is required. Tho next question is, "What shall the stimulant be V ' A wholesome vegetable tonic, the stimulating properties of which are modified by the juices and extracts of anti febrile and laxative roots and herbs something which will regulate, soothe, and purify, as well as invigorate is the medicine required by the debilitated. There are many preparations which are claimed to be of this description, but Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the great vegetable preventive and restorative that has won its way to the con fidence of the pnblio and the medioal profession by a quarter of a century of unvarying success, stands pre eminent among them all. To expatiate on its popularity would be to reoeat a twice-told tale. It is only neoesiary to consult the records of the United Btatos Revenue De- Dsxtment to learn that its consumption is greater than that of any other proprietary remedy of either native or foreign origin. As a means of sustaining the health ana strengin nnaer a fiery tomperature, the BlTTEHS have a paramount claim to consideration. It has the eBectof fortuying ana Drauing the' nervous and muscular systems against the ordinary oonsequenoes of sudden and violent olianges ef tempera ture, and is therefore peculiarly useful at this season, when hot sunshine by day, and ice-cold dews by night, alternately heat and chill the blood of those who are exposed to them. Hotettr's Stomach Bitters are sold in bottles only. To avoid being deceived by counterfeit, see that the name of the article is on the label, and embossed on the glass ot the bottles, and out revenue stamp over the cork.

THE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Qf THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. INTEREST 6 TER CENT. IN GOLD. The Union Pacific Railroad has been In luocessrul operation since May 10, and It U pronounced, by the thousands who have passed over It, to be in all re spect as safe and well bulit ai any railroad In the country. By the Pullman Palace Cars the Journey Is not only made without danger, but without unusual fatigue. The fears that many have expressed in re lation to the perils of the overland trip ar removed by experience, and the lrnvel I steadily Increasing. The earnings of the road since its opening are officially stated by the Company as follows: From May 10 to May 81 .' $.Hl,4'i0d8 " June 1 to June 80 700,002-29 " July 1 to July 81 623,66!8 Notwithstanding the rule for passengers and freight have been largely reduced, the earnings fir August will be at about th j same average. They will bo published as soon a rull returns are re ceived. The earnings, ai stated above, are at an average cf about Eight Million Dollars a Year, Which will be steadily augmented by the develop ment of the Pacific Coast, by reulement along the line, and by the mtural incrc.iHo oi tramc. The First Mortgage Bo-'ds or the Company amount to 123,810,000, and the Interest liability to 1,724,9G0, gold, or about 2,334,0S0 In currency. It will be no ticed that the present earnings provide aa ample fund for the payment of tlr.a interest and leave a large surplus. We are also satisfied that, at present market rates, these bonds are a very' desirable In vestment, and that they will advance In price as soon as the facts concerning the business and condition of the Company are genera'ly understood The Land Grant Bonds To the amount of Ten Million Dollars, were Issued to obtain means to finish the road, and are secured A FIRST MORTGAGE Upon the entire Land Grant of the Company, amounting to 13,824,000 aire. Three million acres of this land la the Platte Valley, in Nebraska, are ad mitted to be equal to any Iu the West, The sales of land were opened In Omahtt July 27, and 40,000 acres were sold during a month thereUter, at an averago price of over SSW per acre While a part of the re mainder ot the land la of littlt- value for agricultural purposes, there Is another part from which a con slderable sum will bi resized. The value ot the Land Grant Is largely enhanced by the extensive coal mines, which are now being worked for the supply of the surrounltng country, as well as for the railroad, and by other valuable mineral deposits, especially of copper. THE LAND GRANT BONDS ARE RECEIVED In payment for aU the company's linds, at par, and the demand from actual Betters will give them a certain market. They run twenty years and pay seven per cent, interest in currency. Although the Company have disposed of all their bonds, yet, as they are offers i In market, we con tinue to fill orders at the current rates. We have no hesitation in recommending both the First Mortgage and the Land Grant Bonds as a very valuable and perfectly sate Investment. JOHN J.
