Van Tobk, Sept. 3.
A catalepsy office was the Idea of Edgar Allen
Toe. A Frenchman has invented a Respiratory
Advertising Apparatss for Precipitate Inhuma
lioe. (I quote from memory). But Franz
Tester, ofNewark, has beaten both Poe and th

resurrect himself, on the same terms as those of
Tuesday (namely fifty cents a bead for adults,
and no half-price for children), every afternoon
until further notice. He will immediately com
mence a star engagement in every fashionable
graveyard ta the United States. And though
be goes to the grave, we will not deplore him,
though sorrows and darkness encompass the
tomb; for in his case the sorrows are recom
pensed by an. appetizing arrangement of cold
sandwiches and champaign cider, and the dark
ncss considerably alleviated by a wooden chim
ney projecting a few feet above the level of the
grave. In brief, Mr. Franz Vester, an elderly
German gentleman, who Is soon going to play
a burying engagement in this city, executed
on Tuesday afternoon his threat of being buriel
alive. I despair of giving the reader any
definite idea of the appliances and modus ope
randi of this resurrection coffin. It is deeper
than the ordinary coffin: the upper part of the
lid works back, and reveals a receptacle f r
eatables and drinkables; and from the top of the
head part to the ground (supposing the coffin to
be buried six feet deep) extends a wooden
himney, two feet square, furnished inside with
a rope and ladder-like arrangement. People
using Mr. Tester's coffins need be under no
apprehension, therefore, If they should be burled
by mistake. If they awake at mldnighf, a touch
on the hesd-piese will 6end it flying back, and
spread before them abundance of good cheer,
like the table improvised through a trap-door in
the fairy pantomime. In the case of Inveterate
amokers,clgars and matches will be enclosed. The
next thing In order will be for the resurrectionist
to seize the rope and by its aid and that of the
ladder-like arrangement, clamber up to the
aimmlt of the wooden box, like a subterranean
cbimuey sweeper. Under this new arrange
neat corpses are requested to be buried in their
everyday clothes, with their latch keys and
soma loose change left in their pockets and
possibly as the system becomes perfected a line
of night cars will be established for the express
accommodation of the newly disentombed, la
truth, Mr. Teeter's burial was a great success
Nothing became him so much in his life as his
leaving it and coming back to it again. The
"good bye, old fellow," and "remember me to
all the folks," which were called out as the
coffin descended iuto the grave, were succeeded
by "How are you, old fellow f How did you
leave 'em all?" as Mr. Tester reappeared
through the chimney top, after the expiration
of an hour and a half. It Is to be hoped that
Mr. Tester and his safety coffin will soon appear
in Philadelphia. Manager Sinn or Manager
Fox, or Mr. Hemphill, or possibly Mrs. John
Prew might be induced to give him a short
season. I am confident that, now that "real
water" has ceased to be a novelty on the stage,
six cubic feet of "real earth" would be just the
thing. But Mr. Tester has struck a withering
blow at the writers of romance, who deal in
burying-allve sensations. With such a coffin as
this in use, "Jean Taljean" could uever have
gone through one of the most, terrible of his
experiences. Next to John Allen, Mr. Tester
promises to become the most popular man in
the States. I shouldn't wonder if both ran for
Congress some day.
The friends here ot Mr. Elliott, the. artist
-whose remains, it will be remembered, were but
a day or two since interred at Greenwood, talk
of erecting a monument there to his memory.
It is proposed to raise the means out of a puolic
exhibition of his pictures, inaugurated either
by his personal fiiends or tbe National Academy
of Design. In common with other great artists,
Mr. Elliot's popularity is not so extended as it
might be from tbe fact that some of the sweetest,
purest, and truest offsprings of his pencil have
been instantly snapped up before they could be
placed on public exhibition, and have ever
alnce remained in their jealous possessors)
cabinets. The warmth with which the monu
ment topic is at present being discussed, will
probably result in some of these holder's of his
'last efforts yielding their claim for a time, and
allowing a transient publicity to those bijoux
-which have hitherto been reserved for the
limited circles of amateurs and dilettante.
What do you think of the idea of starting a
new illustrated evening paper here T One would
think, from the number of new evening and
afternoon papers constantly projected, that all
the old ones bad been buried alive in Mr. Tes
ter's catalepsy coffin. Tbe evening newspaper
la a sort of a serpent's eye that fascluates the
editorial bird to bis destruction. Proprietors
and managing editors will not take warning by
the fate of Every Afternoon and the Evening
Gazette. And yet with the exception ot the
Po', the Adotrliser, and the Express, of
long established growth, I dou't believe that
of all the dozen evening newspapers in
this city and Brooklyn, there is one a) success
ful as Tub E yen-no Telegraph of Philadelphia.
The evening newspapers don't seem to flourish
here. Tbe penny News is the most visible in
the cars and stages, between 3 and 5 o'clock P.
H.; but tbe reason is that it teems with criminal
items "cooked with the most tantalizing aud
provocative spice. All that these dozen even
ing pipers need for their utter consternation and
demoiallzatiou is an t'luslrated evening news
paper, which shall suite tbe ffftald's capital and
oonicltntiousness with tbe pictorial pruriencies
of the Datf$ Doings and the Last Sensation.
This mention of crime reminds ma that Judge
Dowllng, of ths Tombs, Is a living refutatioa of
the popular fallacy ot ttte law's delay. The law
don't delay with him. fcH8 brought bis
Judicial alacrity, now, up to the point of dis
posing; of sixty cases of crimes and misde
meanors in aboat as many minutes, can any
Philadelphia Justice show as fair a record?
. Mr. Hermann Hendricks, who, as I remarked
cosile of days ago, was to appear on Tuesday
sight, made bis debut as the Luke A'brecht to a
crowded audience at the Stadt Theatre, To my
judgment, based upon the fragments of his
noting, which a transient visit rendered visible,
lie has more Ore And lees finish than Bogamil
Dawhon, whom all the G
f the Americans, will
remember. Perhaps' '

For the progress of John Allen's conversion,
and its contagious natnre, I refer yon to ei"
tracts from the columns of the New York Tn
bune,y which, after editorially doubting his sin
cerity, Is now locally attesting to It.
Street Commissioner McLean is being called
to account for the recklessness with which our
public money has been expended in the repair
ing ot the streets here. It appears that Mr
Brown, the contractor chosen, Is paid $125,000
for seven mouths' labor in that department,
while the aetual outlay for one third that period
only amounts to $8000. During the last seven
months of 1867, $130,009 were drawn from the
city Treasury, for the repair of streets, and no
more than $26,000 worth of repairs was actually
put upon them. To all which statements Com
missioner McLean replies that he intends trans
mitting to Common Council a full communica
tion respecting them. Ali Baba.

Young Brown was observed climbing a tree
at Fairmonut yesterday, when tne paternal
member of the family inquired his purpose.
"I'm going to rise with the lark, pa you've told
me to do it lots of times and now I'm going to
try." The young Josephus had his eye on a

up some time.
Ladles who complain most that they have
tothing to wear generally wear tbe least when
best supplied. MihS Brown had a score of new

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Id lck.
Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Bf pt. 3. Up to this morning no
compromise had been effected between 8ccre
tary McCulloch and Commissioner Rollins, and
consequently the revenue troubles remain ia
statu quo. No supervisors opiate have been ap
pointed, for the reason that the Becretary will
not appoint the persons, invariably Republi
cans, that Rollins nominates. The best of feeN
ing prevails between tbe two officials.
The Recent Election
has proved itself a (treat dampener to Demo
cratic hopes In this quarter. They have not re
coveted from their sudden fall, and concede,
by reticence if not by words, their defett In tha
coming election of Maine. There are rumors
tbat laree bets have been male that tbe result
in that State will be 30,000 majority for Grant.
Tbe Campaign in the Went.
Letters received here to-day from prominent
men in tho Northwestern States say that the
Republican canvass was never conducted more
thoroughly than now. The lists o.' appointments
embrace every city and town, and the speakers
are among the very best. The letters further
state that there is every indication of a majority
for the radical ticket this fall which will exceed
that heretolore given for any Presidential
candidate.
The Secretary of VTar
has asked the Attorney-General for an opinion
upon the legality of numerous claims from the
South, growing out of the war claims now ok
file In the Department. They amount to from
twenty to thirty millions of dollars, and the acts
of Congress on the subject are so conflicting
that the Secretary is in doubt as to the proprie
ty of paying them.
A Doubtful Report.
There is a report this afternoon that Secretary
UeCulloch has agreed to the appointment of the
Supervisors nominated by Commissioner Rol
lins, without any farther controversy. The
Commissioner, however, has do information on
the subject, and there ia a doubt as to the truth
of the rumor.
