THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1869, 8 XfEW YORKISMS. Tbe frl'nda of that well-rounded character, Htnrt Ward Bcecher, have lately been alarmed fct the report tb at his brain had suffered, and fllreoiept from pastcral duties was lanmlnent. fruch is not the cac. Mr. Bcecher was ncTfr karder.headed Vn his life. He has not only fc.ncht blfl two boys velocipedes, but he prac llaea b one himself. It Is one of the "rational muecroc nts" be countenances. During one ot " practising hours be overheated himself, and toreot to cool off quietly. He canght cold, Ufluenia et In, and among hi. revlters the wish lL..ortofStep.fatber to the thought that Xnlrgof the brain had Bet In. This is an S c o with which Mr. Beceher has been ttreatencd for the last twenty years a iko by Sfl fricsanl bl enemies, lie makes his one trim o the work of eo mmy, that the on SoJers four the machinery will played oat sot'1"" , rpurr. and before its time. u temperament which corresponds to It, are !, ''stringy" i resilient. They rebjund trom pressures that would conn other intellects!, jle docs more work ai an invalid thau most mon o in exhilarating health. Apropos of the softcnins-of-the brain story, r Bcecher has made partial use of the leisure afforded him by bis convalescence to deny ouce ttc he tnuh of the celebrated "d-d ho," Mecdote. It is either true or unlruo that ho .nco commenced a sermon with the remark, "It Is d-d hot," the lour wolds being spoken in potation marks, and used as a test. On the imc bnnd we have Air. Boecher's denial; on the ether hand we have the concurrent testimony of several (I am putting the lowest estimate upon Wie number,) of Mr. Bcechcr's friends, acquaint ances and relatives, one or two of whom are commuiKcanU at riymouth Church. "Verily Ihou artiu a ttou state, Shepherd." Most bkily he did say to, for it happeced, if at nil, Siny years ago, when his impulses were les checked than they now are. Nor do 1 know Ihat there is reason to be ashamed of, or to wish to recall the flotation. It arose out of the antitheses cf bis nature, and Mr. Beecbcr's antitheses are infinitely better than the truisms aid platitudes of commonplace people. The Cuban ladies of this city have patriots rally net themselves 10 wont. iuujt nave Lent into a time of lint. th stores of btUHlugee, niecliciiie, and .i .i ..in 4lm urn nrpTVi r i n ir tn Rhl rt U1K,ICI lUbiruim-l'ta iuij "v r-l r for the revolution of Cuba are the represen tatives of much pative heroism, tiigiiora Emilia de Vil'.averdo is the eecre'.ary of the jmsociation, and the S?t. Juhcn Hotel Is where the meetings are held. They are gettino; up a grand concert for March '., atfeteiuway Hall. Charity is never so charitable ns when she 's amused. Ehe requires a good deal of music to take the chill off, and w hen he is quite freez tac she is always brought into Steinway Hall. On the assumption that faith, hope, and love are all humbugs, charity may justly be pronounced ihe createst of all. If there were a couteat for stinginess, I think I should throw the golden apple to charity, and the occasion should be a concert for benevolent purposes at Steinway Hall. Assessor Webster has pnt in an nppcaranco, and announced himseli ready to continue his fiffhtwith the bankers and brokers. Ue had seen very ill for the past fortnight with pneu ttonla, and various firms on Wall street, upon 'whom notices had been served to appear before him, daily consulted the obituary column of the morning papers. But Webster is not dead or even abridged.' At 10 o'clock yesterday vorning h set to work with no outward token I that chastened spirit which affliction, in the Jorm of disease, is popularly believed to develop In other words, his recent attack of pneumonia appears to have in nowise modified his inter pretatton of the Internal ltcvenue law. He regards all the world as a money-market, and all the men aud women merely bulls and bears who watch the rite and fall of stocks. One or tw of the firms upon whom notices were served aave declined to make returns. They prefer bringing matters to an issue at once, and havo given as blank a refusal as though the notices had been left blank, too. There Is every indication that the so called Sogers mystery will be permitted to remain no. Bo far as the public is concerned, it is a veritable mystery; bat there is more than a suspicion that among the Judges, the Mayor, ndtbt detectives, more is known than they choose to tell. At least two men are in custody against whom there appears to be an equal AKiount of evidence, and yet no motion is ma lc towards a trial. These two men are Maher (spotted out by ex Detective DelaNjye and Sergeant Lowry), and the man who has come to be known as Logan No. 2. Some weeks ago Judge Barnard said he knew who tho murderer was, and that he was determined to bring him o a speedy trial, but he hug made no further mceol his knowledge or intention. Meanwhle, two suspected and several innocent men remain lacked up in the House of Detention, as a sop U take off the edge of the public appetite for lattice. In all probability neither of ihe sus pected parties will ever be brought totrla' Jtetrtbuuon wm ne swomered, Nemesis will gftgged Beporters will ba propitiated, newspapers will growsllent. Justice will mind br Jaw, and equity will be dispensed wi'h. Instead of dispensed. A few days more nni the Rogers murder will be classed with other forgotten mysteries. It has been almost a jeartinoe we determinsd tpon having another post-office. We calculated how much it would cost; we laid out our plans; ire understood who was to be the architect, asd with whom contracts were to be made. After having completed these comfoi table arrangements, the thing fell through. Nothing bas ben done. Judge us from the surface especially the surface of mud which Nassau ' street eoats us with this weather-and you would think wo were well couteutod with the asty little Dutch church which is made to do nty as a post-office. It is dark; it is dirty; it ka ill-looking; it is ill-smelling. None of the clerks In any of the departments have enough room. The Postmaster is almost elbowed by bis subordinates, and the clerks are lmpuJent from the nervous irritation produced by their banpered quarters. Tbe work of the entire department Is daily protracted hours beyond tke time which would be required under better lrcumBtances. Letters that ought to be dell wed at 8 o'clock in the morn'.ng, for instance, r aot delivered before noon. The fast men of otbsm cry aloud for relief from this mon- trus delay. Perhaps the new market nouses nd tL new po lBoe will go op together. Jp so. A preat deal of leslncrtty has ben spoken about the munificence with which Much Ado About N othing has been produced at Wallack's. It Is, Indeed, fsoellently produced, bus onlf two scenes extenuate the superfluous praise which has been bestowed on them. These are the palare parden and the interior of the church, Tbo eeuse of distance In the one and of height in the other is beautifully delusive' Tho auxiliaries of each are In perfect lecp'.ng. In the first, tbe pattering of the fountain and the notes of the madrigal," Ladle, e'gh no more," miiiRlo falrily and romantically with the misty depth of interwoven leaves; and iu the Inst, the organ-anthem and tbe Incense from swung censers blend aud tbe naturally together through the space enclos' a by the stained glass, the grained arches uud lb.3 glittering Licuuose celling. Historical parties h:ive been much affected this winter by that portlou of the literary world which have enough of fashion mixed up with it to deserve to rank only as the dilettanti. At these parties every one of the guests Is expected to appear in tbe costume of the country from which the entertainment of the evening derives its name. Thns, if the party be Grecian and n ancient, all but extinct nation is the one generally symbolized nil the cuels are ex pected to be habited accordingly. The Greeks he b'omnns, the Egyptians, the Assyrians, th( Persians liave already been represented, and an effort is on foot to get up an antique sympouiuru of a cosmopolitan nature. At some of these merrymakings the guests have brought Pngan morals as well as Pm-nii costume; but the en crtainnionts at which the literary tone w.w maintained weie unexceptionable. Knturdity night is known as the Kdwin Adams Night at 'Booth's theutre. It is at preseutde voted to Aamssp. with Mr. Adams as the vatratit and tiresome hero. An Baba OITY INTELLIGENCE.
