THE DAILY EVENING TKLKdUAPH HlILA.)KM'Hr A, MONDAY, MAY 2, 1870. 5 if n w-roanx a xvi s. rVtrm Our Oun Cbrreponamt. New York, April 30, 1870. The Gift BBtrrprlnf . There are so many swindling gift enterprise concerns In New York city, tbat It Is Impossible to walk along any thoroughfare without running across more than one would care to keep account of in his memory. Before some of them a policeman Is stationed whose duty is simplicity Itself. If he sees yon are about to enter, all he docs is to tap yon on the shoulder and tell yon yon had better not. By this means Justice is satisfied. So is the policeman. And the gift-enterprise swindlers escape. In fact, they are never brought up in court. It is one of the easiest means extant of making a living. Occasionally some gulled greenhorn, who has lost his last penny in responding to their swindling advertisements, writes to the Mayor about it, demanding that justice shall be clone him nnd means taken to get him his money back. The trouble is that the fellow is afraid to io himself justice. In one hundred cases you will not find one who has the moral courage to have his name printed in connection with the affair. Hence the gift-swindlers of this city, which is the great centre of them, are notorious all over the Union. Complaints by the score are lodged at the Mayor's office, and are never pushed. The swindlers are successful because the swindled are ashamed of publicly owning their folly. All Quint In llenwtan Htreet. The four corners formed by the Intersection of Broadway and Houston street have hitherto been the most repulsive and dangerous of any quarter of the city at all pretendiug to respecta bility. On account of a murderous fray which lately occurred in a baloon within hail of one of those corners, special policemen have been stationed there, with orders to allow no more than two people at a time to stand on each corner. Hitherto a well-dressed person was never cer tain of passing that corner in safety, particu larly if he wore diamonds or a watch. People were jostled and robbed there at raid day under the very eyes of the police; the atmo sphere around was heavy with the aroma of panel-houses; and the neighboring street was named Murderers' Block. The True Htorr fNllssen. A ridiculous putf has appeared in oue of the daily papers here with reference to Christina Nilsson, the Swedish prima donna. The ridiculousness of the story does not con sist in the announcement that she will coma to this country in the fall. That she will sail for this country early in September is pretty well determined. It is the statement about the salary that is so untrue and absurd. That statement is to the effect that she is to receive fifteen hundred dollars, in gold, each night. You may safely set down the amount she is to be paid as just one-half that sum. In New York music is more a fashion than an art, but it is not the fashion enough to warrant any manager in paving any prima donna fifteen hundred dollars in gold for each per formance. The Parka at Nlgbt. Since tho warm weather commenced all the parks of the city have been largely visited, suunlyby two classes of people working people vrno go thither to learn what fresh air smells like, and vicious people who wait and watch there for wicked purposes. The vicious people have been largely prepon derating for the last two years, and means were never taken to repress them. No decent woman or man either can Bit in one of these parks half an hoar at a time without hearing words and seeing sights whleh shock. There is a dark and oozy slime of depravity slowly feeling its way beneath the fountains and the green rustle of the trees. The police those blue and brass purifiers of the metropolis are to change all tliis, com mencing with the first warm night. Moving Dny is presumed to be par excellence on Monday, but already the streets are threaded by every de scription of vehicle which can carry furniture. The New Yorkers cling to this institution of the flre; of May.

The role of the "The Queen of Night" is seJJiom given entire on account of its vocal difficulties, nd the appearance of such a singer as Miss Patti as the mystical "Queen'' is therefore as event of remarkable interest.

The countless ways in whiah th Sea Mom Farine may be utilized in cookery, the immense number of dishes some plain and simple, others of the must delicate and delicious nature to whioh it imparts not only all that is desirable in quality, but a wonderful increase of quantity, are among its strongest rooommend atinns. 1 here is no kind of farinaceous preparations, no kind of soup or gravy in which it may not be used to ad vantage; and the blano mange, puddings, custards, creams, jellirs, gruels, etc., made from it are not only un surpassed, but, in onr opinion, uneqaalled. IoraaMa whose stomachs are so sensitive aa to reject all ordinary preparations for the sick-room, find no difficulty ia re taining and digesting the light and nourishing food of which this article forms the bssis. On the f core of economy the Hea Moss Farine is cer tainly infinitely preferahlo to any of the starches, farinas, gelatines, etc., made from the cereals or from maiie. We are assured that a package of it, costing only twenty-five cents, will produce no Wsa than sixtoen quarts of blano mange, jelly, ouutard, or Mosa Farine cream. The quan tity set-nis almost incredible, but the statement is made on good culinary authority, and our readers can easily test ita accurat-y for tbeinaelvea. Sometime a cold will not tif.ld to obdinart BEMKDD'S, because of the severe inflammation of the delicate lining of the tabes through which the air we breathe is distributed to the longs. This obstruction prodnoes pain and soreness, hoarseness, cough, difficulty of breathing, hectic fever, and a spitting of blood, matter or phlegm, finally exhausting the strength of the patient, nd developing very seiious disease. Dr. Jaynes' Sxpec torant seldom fails to remove these symptoms by relieving the lungs of all obstructing matter, and healing all sore ness. Pleurisy, Asthma, and Bronohitia are likewise cured bl this standard remedy, and the reputation it has maintained for over thirty years affords the best guaranty of its merit. Sold everywhere.

Ojttinvtd from the Soevmd JCdUion. After the recess Joel It. Krhardt, Provost If arshM during the war, tesuiied that be knew McKarlaixl; never saw Mm under the IndacnRe of liquor: the prisoner told him ono day, after the Drat snooting, that If Kir.hardson had anything more to do with his wife until she was divorced, fie was on a perilous path. tToea-exanilned He was very nervous and ex cited, bnt rational, I ttilnK. John Blrkera testified that he was employed la the Provost Marshal's office, and saw the prliouef drank. John Stont testified I knew the prinoner: he tild me that certain parties had entered wto a conspi racy against him; be named Mrs. Caibouu and Mrs. Sinclair; primmer told blm he woulit never allow Richardson to live with his wire. Next witness called was Mrs Rnn.! (Mrs. Cal houn) who testified I realde in this uity; was foinierly Mrs. calhoun ; 1 knowthe prinoner, mid Mrs. Mcrarland ; llrsi knew blm in January, ISM; met them at an evening party at the house of a friend; I saw Mrs. McFarlaud often, Mr McParland eeldom : saw her at luy o wu irooan generally, at No. T Clinton place; the Mcfarlands had several resi dences during my acqaaintauce with them; was in correspondence with Mrs. Mc Karl and white In the White Mountains; 1 preanme I wr ite those letters (produced as evidence on trial) ; 1 dl I ; I did not read them: I think this letter (one given her by Judge Davis) dated June 8, ISM, was the last I wrote her. Question. Before going to the White Mountains what had been the subject of conversation between youT Objected to by Mr. Graham. Q. Prior to her going to the White Mountains had she been in the habit of giving readings? Mr. Graham. 1 object. Jndge Davis said be wished to how that It had been a subject of converaatlon between husband and wife, Mrs. Mc Karl and giving readings. He could prove that in 1861 McFarimd and wire went to Madison, Wisconsin, and lived on the proceeds of some property he had in New York. She gave some readings for the relief of vonnded soldlors and having received some encomiums, it was decided she should take lessons from Mr. ana Mrs. Vanden notr. Mr. McFarland approved of all this, and was & resent at some of the representations given by Irs. McFarland. II proposed to show that there was no conspiracy, bat that Mrs. Calhoun acted In a spirit of kindness. Recorder i think the evidence of conspiracy Is that this lady (Mrs. Calhoun), tried to get Kra. Ho 1 arland away from her husband. Mr. Graham We have given no evidence against this witness, except what she furnished with her pen, and the question is, will it be allowed her to wipe out her pen with her tongue? If these letters do not prove that this witness induced Mrs. McFar land to go on the stage, they prove nothing. If the prisoner was made believe by tils wife that she was consulting him, and that he found afterwards that it was an the work or Mrs. (Jain oun, and that his deci sion was not what led her to go on the stage, and tbat his denial would not prevent it; McFarland did not go to the theatre after his wife, bnt Richardson did, and went in by the Mercer street door, a privilege only accorded husbands or other protectors of ladles engaged there. When Mcrariana aaa nis wire went int Amity street, tbey were a loving couple, and it was there that his wife left him. The Recorder said that the prosecution cad a right to show that there was no conspiracy in, regard to Mrs. McFarland going on the stage. Witness I attended the reading given by Mrs. McFarland in April, 1864, at Stelnway Hall, before she went to the White Mountains ; I Know that many of my friends and myself took tiokets and paid for them. Mr. Graham objected to showing that Mr. McFar land conld not support his wire, by this raeaaa. Judge Davis offered to show that MfcFarland re ceived the bulk of the proceeds of this reading. Witness Before going to the White Mountains Mrs. McFarland and I conversed in regard to her going on the stage. The first letter in which it was spoken about was on Jane 84th, KM6. r have no idea how many letters I w rota to Mrs- McFarland. Judge Davis desired witness to rend the letter. and see if she coald tell what month It was writ ten in. Witness It was written in the winter or 1866-T. Jndge Davis Read that letter, and say what that word "J. R. Y." is. Mr. Graham I object, as It is asking the witness to construe her letter, and that your Honor says she cannot do. If a person writes a letter, it is the per son who receives, and not the person who sends, or at least a third party, that should eonstrue it. The Recorder said a person who wrote a letter ought to be the best judge of what was written, and it is right to allow witness to explain what it was she wrote. Witness The word Is "yon." Mrs. McFarland eame with me to Mrs. Sinclair to gut a dress from her which the was going to lend Mrs. McFarland to appear en the stage without going to the expense of buying one. Be (McFarland) commented on the dress, and suggested some Improvements. lie said he had great confidence in her succesa. Bo himself bad trained her, and he thought mmselt the best teacher she conld have. I went to his house, No. 78 Amity street, the room Mrs. McFarlaud was in was hot and smoky; McFarland came in drunk, he spoke gruffly and rudely to me, I started to go out, but before 1 left McFarland turned on his wife and said "You must not have your friends here daring my absence."
