Snw Yob i, Aug. 13.
Tbe lfttast excltemaot In the oitj U that
Occasioned by the arrival at Communipair of a
number of diseased cattle front Illinals. Nearly
00 head of middling aud good Illinois cattle
bad been seat thither from Homer, In the State
of that name, and upon tbe route had been
discovered to be diseased. More than a dozen
of them were thereupon pat off at tho. station
of Crestline, Obed, and before the train reached
Communlpaw only halt the number originally
started with, were living. The bntohers and
drovers meanwhile displayed a refreshing degree
of Indifference, and laughed to scorn the
doctor' Idea that the disease wai a mMlg
nant form of typhns fever. Pour of
the decoasd cattle have been placed in quaran
tine in a separate yard, In order that the symp
toms may be carefully watched, aud, should
they die, the work of direction be performed.
Although medical officers at present carefully
abstain from any public announcement of their
tIowb, such observations as havo hitherto been
made Indicate that the disease is one of the
lotensest forms of typhus fever, and not the
common murrain. Meanwhile, almost all of the
diseased cattle have been destroyed. Tbe abat
toirs jestrrday were full of the found of dcaih
blows, and the sight of reeking blood, as the
heavy-spiked axe lell upon the heads of the
dumb victims. The sanitary inspectors have
been ferreting out tbe purlieus of suspected nieU
sellers in this city, and the police are likewise
bu'y in holding in surveillance thMnewobjco
of inspection, and the heaviest penalties of tho
law are threatened against any person who sells
any jo-lion of meat found to bo di-eased.
Coal-tar has been plentifully poured upon al
ja'ds and paths over which the diseased aui'
mala havo travelled, or are expeoted to travel,
aud the floors and sides of the cattle-cars have
been profusely strewed with carbolic aciJ. By
the application of these disinfectant, united to
the prompt action In other departments of the
sanitary ollloers, It is hoped that not only the
city of New York, but the entire continent will
be spared a visitation incomparably worse thaa
that which a couple of years ago created such
oonsternatlon and loss throughout Europe.
The mention of this disease remiuds me that
the Board oi Quarantine Commissioners has
Just decided to erect a structure on Wefct Bank,
New York Harbor, as a landing and boarding
station for tbe accommodation of such persons
as have been exposed to contagious and infec
tious diseases. Proposals for building the hew
structure were received only on Tuesday at the
office of the Board, and It will probably be situate!
on a line between West Bank and Fort Wads
worth. A year ago the Commissioners thought
seriously ot erecting such a building on Barren
Island, but West Bank holding out superior
advantages, it has finally been decided to erect
one there. It will be completed during the
coming fall, and promises to be just the thing
that Is needed.
Yesterday the 22d Regiment N. O. S. N. Y.
departed lor Long Branch, where they intend
remaining for several days. Starting from tho
Fourteenth Street Armory at hail-past It this
morning, they marched down Broadway amidst
a crowd which was only less enthusiastic than
that which witnessed the marching of the 7th
Regiment on the 4th of last July. Among the
features of the Long Branch festival are the com
petition prize-firing, the presentation of prizes,
and tbe errand dance to be given at the dtetson
House. The regiment's tents are erected in a
plateau reserved for them on the eea-ehore.
Meanwhile Tiffany's windows, on Broadway, are
beset from morning till night by a curious
crowd, anxious to witness the really handsome
prizos on exhibition there. The regiment will
return next Monday.
On Tuesday afternoon Madame Tostee arrived
from Havre In the steamer Vllle do Paris. It
seems but yesterday since the newspapers wore
chronicling her departure, and bewailing the
necessity which separated tbe public even for a
brief space from the renowned representative
ot the titled heroine of GeroMein. A much
travelled gentleman, ai.d an excellent critic en
amateur, who has seen the original Schneider,
assures me that that artiste, with all her
piquant airs and graces, is not one whit better
than the dashing Lucille, who one year ago
so captivated New York. Mad'lle Tostee, by
the by. is looking well. The air of Paris, and
ber brief reunion with her Parisian rivals in tbe
coulisses, have not destroyed a vestige ot
that bloom, which, heightened at night
by a touch or two . of rouge, and a
patch- or two of court-plaster, makes her so
fresh-looking behind the footlights. The date
of her appearance has not yet been announced,
though it ia whispered that during a portlou of
the seaeou Mr. Batemau intends transporting
her to St. Louis, and plating off Mad'tle Inna
upon tbe New York public as long as possible.
Although Barbe Bleue is now in its fourth week,
the attraction has not grown less. The state
ment in one of the papers hrre that it was to be
"Withdrawn after the prevent week, was entirely
erroneous. It will be continued indefinitely,
"every evening until further notice," meaning!
In th s, at in every other case, just as long as it
continues to pay.
I believe 1 am safe in assertlug that Adah
Isaacs Menken, who died in Paris on Tuesday,
may justly be called one of the "Isms" of Ne w
York. It was here tbe made the first great
success which caused all the virtuous indigna.
tion surrounding our theatrical critics' souls to
trickle out at tbe points of their pens. It seems
a triflingly small while ago when Mr. Jameg
Nixon first introduced ber to the public here al
the Sixteenth Street Circus, before an audience,
which far exceeded In nutnbrrs and frantic en
thusiasm any which have since crowded a
similar place of entertainment. At the time of
her death she was no longer a very youug
woman, bordering as she was on forty years of
age. But she preserved her beauty, such as it
wa, to a most remariaom ui-grea.
Neither tbe wear and tear of her nro
lestlon, which, in Its peculiar line, wa no
painle.-8 or idle one, nor the sensuous carnival
life she had led for to lone a period, seemed to
have materially marred her voluptuous beauty
or her nowerful Dhvhloue. No particulars con
cerning ber death have yet reached u, and
wbHtever truth mav be la the report of her
having recently invited tbree Bobemiansof Paris
to a diinklnir bout, and leit them iu a state ot
unconsciousness under the table, while aba
dragged herself paistuliy off to bed, wnence eat
.was unajie to dress next morning to attend
rehearsal, it is probable that her sudden calling
away to tuo scenes beyond tbls lire was due to
the debauched eccentricities wh'ch In latter
ears more particularly had rendered her
oareer so unlovely and unbvautitu1. For
the rest, tho was not an ill
allocated woman, She could eveu write Da'

mourners among those whom she benefited here
In Aew York.
Mr. Edward Falcon has compiled an im
mensely sinplrJ play, brought out at Watlack's
under the auspices of little Lotta. It was ex
pected that on Monday evening a scene before,
as well as behind the looiliarhti would be
enacted, in consequence of tbe report that both
Mr. Brougham and Mr. Crabtres bad taken out
injunctions the former on tbe ground tbat Mr.
Moss, treasurer of the theatre, had violated his
contract with him. tho latter on the ground that
Lotta was yet a minor, and bad no rtcrbt to play
wiihout her father (Mr. Crabtree's) permission.
Both reports, however, proved to be Idle, and
the piece passed on" smootblv, with theexception
of such balis and hi.cbes as inevitably occur on
aflrstn'ght. It Is understood that after next
season Lester Wallack is to proceed to London,

from our own Correspondent.
Vbniob, July 23.
By this time, I presume, Philadelphia, like
London and Paris, Is out of town; gone to tho
watering-places in order, more extravagantly,
to enjoy the hot weather. This place, being
abominably hot, the living extremely dear, and
tho accommodations equal to tbe worst in
America, I was persuaded that It was the city of
which I was In search for the usual sea-side rest
and recreation. Venice, as a watering-place, is
an unequivocal success. There is nothing to
hinder a man fiom bathing on the front door
step, t fishing out of the second-story window.
These liberties must be valuable to Yenl
tians, who live almost entirely on oil
and maccaronl, which cannot bo caught
by a hook and line, and who never go in to
bathe for tear of washing off the dirt. We
arrived in tho night, bat tbp moon was not out,
nor was the grand canal "beautifully illuminated
by the lights ol the innumerable palaces." The
gondola was not a fairy boat, nor a wizard skiff.
nor anjlhing of that 6ort, bat resembled very
much a Down East punt, with a tomahawk
nailed on the end, and tbe gondoliers romanti
cally dressed in red flannel shirts, did not sing
"beautiful snatches of Italia's favorite sones,'
but swore dreadfully. Day haugs over ns like a
molten cloud, and night comes with chills and
fevers. Venice lies dead, entombed In her
churches aud her fifteen hundred palaces. Her
past is ber only glory; her history her only re
demption.
Situated in a marsh, surrounded by sea sick
ness and salt water, perfumed by the sweet scent
ol dried fish too long oead she invites tho
curious from all lands to come down to her to
assist her In paying her taxes. Tbe descendants
of Ecub noblo names as Canova and Titian
peddle shell jewelry or play the tamborlne and
fiddle on the Palazzo St. Marco. There art! a fo w
Americans here and quite a number of English,
and to day 1 had the pleasure of seeing the
smiling face of a well-known Philadelphia!! at
tbe table d'hote. As a general rule, I find the
Americans are tbe most easily pleased. They
always enjoy a good thing. They have been
known to smile with six in tbe zoom, at four
dollars a day. Such a disposition I take to be
the natural characteristic of a people whose
pride It is always to act without restraint. The
Enalnh insist on grnmbling, and they always
net what tbey want. Tbe American travels for
pleasure, and thinks he finds it; the Englishman
travels as a matter of business, and gets
all the accommodations for half price.
It is, however, tho young people who are the
most readily deluded. For them it's delightful
fun to get up at five o'clock in the morning, and
tear around to see things of which they know
nothing, through the blistering heat or doatbly
damp, until midnight. "It's so jolly." They
don't care if pa is grumpy, aud ma so fatigued.
We have a beautiful little blonde at our hotel,
who Is the daughter of a dry goods merchant In
New York. She leaned over the table to ask if
I had seen the Armenian Convent, where Lord
Byron was taught the Armenian language, and
which is about two miles oat in the Adriatic,
with no shade trees between here and there.
"You should go by all means, the sail is charm
ing, and tbey have a beautiful portrait of Lord
Byron there, aud a mummy : three thousand
years old." "Bless me, you don't say so!" "Yes,
and we had such fnn t" At the same time
tbe perspiration was , running - down the
pretty little blonde's cheek, and the skin was
coming off her pretty little blonde nose. I
took ber to be a very fair representative of what
Venice might have been in hor youth, before
republican life had been buried la Austrian
tyranny. Travellers coming to Venice must
hire a courier; there Is no evading it. It is
impossible to go anywhere or find anything
without one. 1 take It that a reasonably active
man, with the assistance of a courier, can "do'i
tbe city in two days. Tbat 1b, of course, if he bo
not an artist or an architect. One day is gene
Tally spent on the water and one on the land.
The Islands, the Grand Canal, a malorlty of the
palaces, the opera house, and about twenty
churches are done by water, or at least usually
co. The Doge's Palace, the Church of St. Marc,
the Academy of Fine Arts, the King's Palace,
tbe U'alto, the Bridge of Hiehs, and the tombs
of Titian and Canova, may be dono on land. It
possible to get along on about eight dollars
per day in gold, provided you don't give too
much to the b guars, and' the churches have
not more than tour attendants each. From
Pariw we are about forty hours, and tbe ride not
unpleasant if you enjoy tbe prospect of an
abundant burvet and an unlimited supply of
wiue. If you intend coming here come in the
tpriug. 1 he summer is dreadfully hot, and the
fall is full of mosquitoes. u. u. e.
A Refutation.
We have received the following note from
Dr. It. Shelton Mackenzie:
To th Editor of the Evening Telegraplv-
I am Informed tbat yon bave published a
paragraph, to the effect tbat I ;ook an article
from a London paper called Fun, made a lew
alteration in it, and published it, as myowo.
with my name attaobed to ir, in one of Frank
Leslie's papers. In reply, 1 declare tbat I never
wro'e even a tingle line for any of Mr. Leslie's
publications; that I never took any mau's
writing acd tried to pats it off as my own; aud
that 1 have not seen lun for several months. I
demand of you, as a inallur of simple justice,
to publish this note. I have written to Mr.
Letlie, remonstrating on the grow liberty which
one of hi underlings has taken with my name,
but have not received a reply.

Ws are glad to see this contradiction from
Dr. Mackenzie. Tbe paragraph referred to by
him has been going tbe rounds of the press, but
has never appeared in this paper, as Dr. Mac
kenzie's informant alleges. Kd. Ktb. Tel.

The London'taify Kw has the following:
"The snti-Kitualists ot St. Mary, Atherstons.
have been worsted In tbe Arches Court. Their
incumbent has obtained a judsmenttn hit favor,
and the churchwarden, their representaiive, has
to pav 100 costs. Of coarse this Judgment hi
sound and good, for it in tbat of Sir K. Philli
moret but H is unfortunate tbat in contentions
wl h the clergy in the Ecclesiastical Court,
parishioners should be to uniformly In tbe
wions. Jn this case It is not contended for a
moment tbat ths incumbent was in the right:
be had acted arbitrarily and illegally, without
being reproved bv his superiors; nevertheless,
for undoing without authority what he bad
done without authority, the churchwarden Is
saddled with the costs of a suit in the Ecclesias
tical Court.
"The Bev. Mr. Rich in ps, it appears, fixed, or
caused to bo fixed, over the communion table
ot his church an extra ledsn or belt, which, in
the dialect of hts school, is styled a super-altar.
This addition to the fit.tngs of the churoh was
made without any faculty, or even the tutor in al
content of the Ordinary having been previously
obtained. St Robert Pbiilimore, referring to
tbls tact, said It was 'to be lamented.' In
August last a vestry meotlug was held, when a
resolution was passed to the etleot that the
churchwardens should take steps lor removing
tbe super-altar. One of the churchwardens, Mr.
Cordine ley, understood this resolution to war
rant him in removing the shelf himself, and
accotdingly took with him a workman, picked
tbe lock of tbe church door, after the incum
bent had refused to give him the keys, aud
took the noxious shelf away. It is plain that iu
so acting he violated the law, and tor this the
incumbent brought him into the Arches Court;
and alter what he bad heard on Tuesday, it may
be predicted tbat he will not touch a super-altar
again.
"It will not escape the reader's notice how
dtflereut is the measure meted to a layman who
13 bis bands on church furniture to that doalt
out to the clergy. Kir K. Phillimore'4 address,
in giving judgment, had all the force and
earnestness of a pulpit discourse. To the church
warden of St. Mary Atherstone the Illegal suelf
was a piece of wood in the wrong place; but the
Judge spoke of it much as a devout Roman
Catholic might be expeoted to ipeak of a piece
of the wood of tbe true cros. The terms ia
which be referred to Its removal were such as
might properly be applied to any daring and
impious act of sacrilege. It Is plain that in this
rase tbe incumbent and the churchwarden were
both wrong together, the dtffeience being that
the clergyman was the first to move and set an
example ot disregard of law. Tbe act of tbe in
cumbent, however, is 'lamented;' that of the
churchwarden is substantially punished."
