THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1870. it n w-Y o n. g i a ivi s. s r Oron Correspondent. Nbw York. March 23, 1870. " Home, NwnI Home." ItW no use for Now Yorkers to slug about "Home, Sweet Homo," for they know nothing at all about It. They have no Idea what the phrase means. Sometimes they catch tho atne sort of dim frllmmorlnjr in regard to Its true significance that children do of the term "fairy land." Now that tho May-moving season Is Imminent, the conviction that New York Is indeed a homeless city Is one that commends itself very closely to men's business and bosoms. Notwithstanding the present price of gold tho rents of houses remain as high as ever, and there is no Immediate prospect of their coming down. It is this hugeness of rent which shuts oat a Lome-fccling from New York. Urchins who never knew what It was to have a fireside of tbeir own, but whose domestic hcarthstono was always shared by two or three other families, make snuggeries of the street-corners, and develop tho ruffian element at an extremely early period of life. This is one of the obscure reasons why New York city abounds with spots which, though under the dally and nightly surveillance of tho police, doscrve to be called dangerous. The place where Major Lcland was attacked on Saturday night, Prince street, near Mercer, is one of these localities. The four corners formed by the intersection of Broadway and Houston streets are four others. Upon these corners at any hour of the night you will find gamblers, ropcrs-In, and panel-thieves congregated. You will know tho latter by their excessively broad brimmed hats, tbolr good clothes and their bad countenances. Tho panel-houso purlieus are close by, and in within hearing of Broadway systematic panel-thieving is nightly perpetrated and never brought to light. All about this vicinity is abundantly nooked and honeycombed with the more villainous orders of crime. Amusements. Mr. Booth appeared last night aa "Sir Giles Overreach" to one of the largest houses of the season. There was not a seat downstairs or up that was not appropriated, and his entrance in the character of tho remorseless nsurer was the occasion of almost as much applause as though he were a European star making his first ap pearance. Tho comedy was beautifully played throughout, Fanny Morant enacting the part of 'Lady Allworth," and Miss De Bar that of "Margaret." This evening the Black Domino, in which years ago Madame Anna Thlilon was inimitable, will bo produced at tho Academy of Music, with Miss Hcrseo In tho principal feminine role. It is to be the feature of tho week. "Suddenly Disappeared." It is in vain to calculate how many pooplo this heading applies to in the course of the year. It is now nearly one month slnee Mr. Edward Flannery, a manufacturer of French boots and shoes upon Broadway, left his home on East Fortieth street, giving out that he was going to call upon one of his employes who had been ill. When he left home he was apparently in health and spirits. He has not been seen by his family since. The lost that has been heard of him is that at three o'clock of the afternoon of the same day he was seen on Third avenue, two houra atter in a Broadway stage. In the stage he informed a friend whom he met there that he was going to the store, and then home to dress for the 9th Regiment's battalion drill in the evening. He never went to the store, how ever; he never went home; he has not since been in any manner heard of. His health was good. Ills home relations were pleasant. He had no trouble that any one knew of weighing upon his brain. He carried but little money and no valuables about him. Ills disappearance is a ' profound mystery, and his family have been on the verge of desperation, and are only gradually acquiring that calmness which follows the entire loss of hope. Ferry-boat Reform. It is proposed to introduce a reform Into the ferry-boats which ply between this city and Brooklyn. There are two cabins, one known as the gentlemen's cabin and the other as the ladies'. Very few gentlemen, however, occupy the masculine saloon. There is entirely too much sputatory debris there. The floor is clogged with "old soldiers" and expectorated 'cuds." Consequently, gentlemen who don't smoke occupy the ladles' cabin, and early in the morning, and between five and seven in the evening, it is almost impossible for a lady to get a seat there. One of the most charming illus trations of the chivalry of the period is the equanimity with which tho men occupying ladles' seats will contemplate those ousted ladies standing. Consequently, it is proposed to throw both cabins open to ladles and gentlemen alike, and to force smokers and chewers to stand outside, where their proper place is. Tho Excise Law. i It is many a week now since the Excise law baj been treated with much respect in this city. Formerly, when a Sabbath-drinker imbibed in public, he did so in a surreptitious manner. The waiter brought him his whisky in a tea-cup, on the self-same tray apon which wore ostenta tiously borne a milk-jug and a sugar-bowl, and he was requested to drink it straight down. Xrow, the milk-jug and sugar-bowl are dispensed with, and even the tea-cup is disused. In the German restaurants of a Sunday morning lager and Rhino wine are openly dealt out, and a sneer and a shrug sufficiently answer any hint you may throw out with regard to a violated Excise law. Tho Excise law, like "hanging for murder," seems to be 'played out" In New York. Mr. Moore's Benefit. Mr. Moore, for a long time the business agent of Barney Williams, has lately been very unfor- V nate, having suffered both in health and busl mss. He will be the recipient of a benefit to morrow at Niblo's Gardon. The benefit has been got up at the instigation and through the personal labors of Mr. v, imams, whose lianas Lave been full for the past week accepting and declining the offers that have been made him from every actor of repute in the city. Barney wants to raise two thousand dollars for the un fortunate gentleman, and probably will. ftleltlittr March. March melted yesterday. She faw afar off the prodigal son, 8prlng, returning, and while be was yet afar off, ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. The air was tinctured with the '.affiant breathings of buttercups and daisies. n- Am Baba.. A Card Iroia Uueaada. General Quesada has published the following Nbw"york. March 12. Editor of the Jievolu cion Esteemed I'ellow-Cltlzen: Please to make public through your estimable paper that I will not busy myself art all with denying any thing that tho public press may say with regard to me as I need to devote all my time to the fulfilment, in as short a term as possible, of the mission with which the Republican Government of Cuba has charged me. I remain, etc. M. Quksada. MUSICAL, AH!) IHtAJvsATHJ. 'he til tv (ntmnttu. At tiie Walnut Mr. Chanfrau appoared last evening to a good audience in his famous per sonation of "Sum," In Do Wahlen's comedy of that name. As for the play itsolf, It U a thing fearfully and wondorfully made, and we have not the courage to attempt a description of It. even were tli o English language capable of inter preting Its meaning. No description is neces sary, however, as tiam has been done here so often that the majority ot our playgoers have studied it for themselves, and It is recognized at its proper value merely as a medium for the presentation of the eccentricities of "S:im." Mr. Clmnfrau's personation of this character Is not only vastly amusing, but It Is ontltled to decided praise for its artistic qualities. It Is a somowhat exaggoratod but undoubtedlv truthful represen tation of a certain class of Englishmen, and so faithfully, indeed, has Mr. Chanfrau copied his model that he is in danger at times of becoming unintelligible to those who have not been for tunate enough to come In contact with the genus "fam." Tho performance, however, is very funny, and it was heartily cujoyed last evening bv thofe In attendance. Sam will be repeated this evening. At the CnissNUT Fron-Frmt will be performed this evening. On Friday Miss Laura Keone will have a farewell benefit. The benefit of Mr. J. II. Jack is announced for Saturday. At tub Arch Lotta will appear this evonlnir in Heart's Ease. At thi Amateurs' Drawing Room tho last performance of the season will take place this evening, when tlie French Comedy Company will appear In Livre III, Vhapitre I, and tho operetta of M'Sieu Landry. An extra performance of Frou-Frou is an nounced to take place in a few days. At the Eleventh Street Opera House a variety bill of minstrelsy, including songs, dunces, and burlesques will be given this even ing. At Duprez & Benedict's Opera Housh a number of attractive novelties In the way of mirth and melody are announced for this evening. 8ionor Blitz, Jr.. will give an exhibition of limbic at the Assembly Building this evening.

COLD BONDS or TUB Central Railroad of Iowa At 95, Free from Tax. This railroad rnna 834 miles north and south through the finest and most thickly settled portion of the magnificent State of Iowa, and Is the only link wanting to connect the railway centres at St. Louis and St. Pan! by an unbroken line, 147 miles shorter than any existing route. This road offers many ad vantages. The building of tne railroad north from St. Paul to Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior, where five railroads will soon centre the construc tion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, already begun fcjd the rapid development of a new and produc tive country in Minnesota and the Northwest, must furnish a large Southern traillc As the Upper Mississippi Is frozen ovor during the winter, and Its navigation Is often uncertain during the summer, from low water, this road must have at all times a large amount of transportation, and a monopoly of the business at some seasons or the year. Its con nections with other lines Interested by mutual own ershlp or running arrangements, will give It almost the entire north and south travel between Its termi nal points and their vicinity. This road will have a great advantage over any other Western line in carrying the best quality of coal from where It Is abundant In Southern Iowa to Northern Iowa and Minnesota, where none is to be found, and In securing return freights o lumber, for which the demand is very great. Korty-Btx miles of the lino are just completed, and eighty-eight miles more are graded. An abundant supply of Iron, ties, and other materials has been contracted for. Tho Company have a largo and dally Increasing surplus of money on hand, and the stock subscriptions and the sales of the bonds, give them ample means to push the work forward, so that, with favorable weather, It Is expected that the whole line will be completed this season. SECURITY OF THE INVESTMENT. So far as we can learn, every completed railroad In the Northwest Is not only earning the Interest on Us bonds, but a dividend on its stock, and we be lieve the CENTRAL OF IOWA must occupy an equally strong financial position. The amount of Bonds to be issued Is but 110,000 per mile, or less than four millions in all, I . Of which, over One Million have al- ' ready been sold. WE BELIEVE THERE WILL BE NO MORE FA VORABLE TIME TO SELL GOVERNMENTS, AND BUY REALLY FIRST-CLASS RAILROAD SECU RITLES SUCH AS THESE THAN THE PRE SENT. Pamphlets, with map, may be obtained, and sub scriptions will be received at the COMPANY'S OFFICES, No. 82 PINE Street, New York, and by Its advertised agents. W. II. SIIATTIJCU, TREASURER. After a fall examination, we have accepted an Agency for the sale ef the above First Mortgage Bonds, and desire to recommend them to our cus tomers AS A THOROUGHLY SAFE AS WELL AS PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. We have no hesita tion In saying that In our opinion the CENTRAL RAILROAD OF IOWA wlU be one of the most lm portant and valuabi roads in the West. JAY COOKE & CO., ! No. 114 SOUTH THIRD STREET. E. W.
