Few York ba farewell to winter jesterday
yfiik a sonny hand.hake. They parted with one
aaetbr r on the beet of terms. They had reason
t be mutually pleased. Winter has been most
liberally entertained here. Ball, parlies, carni
vals, suppers, dinners, receptions, opera, d ra
sa at Ic entertainments, she has been perpetually
fl with. Ever since, In the latter part of
Bovembef, her presence waa observed In the
d'y, all the slittcrable delights ol town have
Ibeen In a state of Incessant sparkle. In return,
V Inter has been very kind. Whenever Fashion
a ventured out of doors, Winter has been
ercUulto her, and has spared h Bfty lut,e
nww ano oooneu. - . 10A hft, filaned
Ince Broad
"Sj, during the months of Decern-
January, and February, has been so con-
atantly flllod with equally well appointed
quipages and people. Consequently, when
the parting moment catne and yesterday
lrea'.bed Its IbfI sigh, neither New York nor
Winter had an thing to regret. Each had done
the best to please, and March came In llfce a
mutual frier d.
Cn Saturday evening a patriotic duel cane
tiff between a Spaniard named Graaso and a
Cuban named Ansga. The quarrel originated
In a discussion about the Cuban difficulty, and
after various corcpl'ments of an exciting na
ture, each party called the other a liar, and a
meeting was arranged in which bloody raplcr9
and branly raw, .lustead ol pistols and coffee,
-nlaved a principal part. At the hour of mel
low dmk a close carrisge in fact, two close
arrisges might be seen rattling along tho
most deserted portions of the deserted Meeker
avenue, Williamsburg. At that point is an an
cient hostelry abounding in private parlors and
good old port. To one of these private parlors did
raBO and Asaga repair; in that private parlor
did that affair of honor come off. The cam
tatants placed themselves at opposite sides of
the table, rapier In hand, and at a given signal
the work of death commenced. It was fore
stalled, however, by Asaga, the Cuban, wound
ing his antagonist la the right wrist. The
artery being cut, the seconds pronounced
Grasso's honor completely vindicated. Tbe
sight of so much arterial blood being spilt
seemed to arouse Araga to a "realizing sense1
of the situation. All was forgiven and forgot
ten. The antagonists, dropping their rapiers,
tell upon one another's s boulders la a stage
embrace, and the reader is requested to give
three rounds of applause.
The sequel to one of the most curious scenes
la its way that ever transpired in court is to
take place this morning in the Supreme Court
Chamber. The scene referred to was that re
ocntly enacted when, in order to enable the
intelligent Jury to decide on the merits of the
Griffith Gaunt Round Tablo libel, Mr. Tanden
hoff, the reader and clocutlouist, read a large
portion of the novel in court. Every oae who
has ever heard Mr. Vondenhoff will remember
that he Is a most genial and expressive reader
clear in enunciation, and par.icularly happy
alike in descriptive and conversational passages.
This bappiuess did not fall him in the reading
. t "Griffith Gaunt." Whatever pruriencies that
novel may contain, they certainly did not seem
to disgust the male prudes of the J ury-box, who
listened with pricked ears and warmed expres
sion of oountenance. Charles Keade himself
Mess his hot, impetuous nature might have felt
safe in committing himself to them. When Mr.
Vandenhoff had got about one-third through, so
afraid was the counsel for the defense that the
Impression made upon the jurymen would be
too favorable, thiit he moved for the exclusion
ol the book from being olTered in evidence,
and for judgment on the pleading, on the ground
that the plaintiff had not proved that he was
the author of the book. Tbe qubtion was argued
at some length, the jury meanwhile being dis
missed until this morning, with those sensations
uppermost that are generally supposed to be
engendered by the words "to be continued"
appended to the end of an exciting chapter of a
serial romance. I
Mr. Eorace Lingsrd, a gentleman not wholly
disconnected with tbe fortunes and fame of tbe
notorious Captain Jenks, whose theories upon
horse-diet were to decidedly vegetarian, b is
seen having a peck of trouble with a Mr. and
Mrs. Tike, who place on the term "utility busi
ness" a less liberal construction than does
Manager lingard himself. A largo bevy of
aotors and actresses wai in court, among whom
were Owen Marlowe and Mary Welle, both well
known in Philadelphia. Miss Wells and Mr.
Marlowe have, by-the-by, been rather nomadic
for the last year. Miss Wells, after the flood
gates of the While Fawn were let loose, boiie
mlanlaed for a little at tbe New York The
atre, where every actor goes who can get
nothing better to do. Finally she went
to - Wood's Museum, and has been
one of the curiosities there for the past four or
Ove months. Mr. Marlowe hid his light under
a bushel at Kiblo's, and is now trying to put it
en a candlestick at the Waverley. Mr. Marlowe,
at tbe trial in question, thought that utility
business did not require the person engaged for
such business to sing in choruses. Mary, on
the other hand, was of the opinion that it
required the individual so engaged to do any
thing and everything that might be required of
aim. And Miss Wells, in my opinion, is right.
The man engaged for utility business may be
required to take any part, from that of the
crooked backed tyrant to that of the
crowing cook. True, the characters to which
ke Is usually limited are not much given to
loquacity. All they are expected to do ou tbe
stage la to exclaim, "Hj lord, the carriage
waits," or "Upon him, soldiers I" or "Oa to the
citadel!" and other work of a brilliant and
highly-wrought nature. To do each Igno
talnious work at this is what neither Mr. nor
Mre. Ptke inclined to, particularly when they
had more offered them at the Olympic. Actors
are unlike any other classes of laborers in this
respect, that they are never wilHus to do less,
but always more, than they are engaged for.
The actor who is paid twenty-flve dollar a
yeek for playing ' 'Fr anols"1 will take twenty
dollars a week for playing tbe "Stranger." Ap
parently, these distinctions are bewildering to
Jocfe Bultb, of the Third District Civil Court,
to whom the case was submitted, for be said
that ha should have to take time to consider
the matter.
Theatrical finnday dinners are the latest
tastitatlon In the Bohemian world. One of
tacts was given yesterday evening In one of the
smaller saloons connected with Tammany.
The leg drama was largely represented. TUera
la a mmer-and I hope it Is true-that Lisa
Weber, tbe only burlesque actress worthy to dp
called so, is soon to retire from Niblo's, I hope
she will set np on her own a coo ant. "Ihose
eyes" of bers do tbe business ol all the young
blocds tn town. I have nothing to add but that
Max Strakosch Is placarding Miss Kellogg about
town, and in the newspapers, as though she
were an English blonde or a concert-saloon
novelty, instead of a prima donna in the Italian
opera. The respectful annunciations where
with he heralds her are a curiosity in the art
advertisement world. Am BaiA.

Aleneon. Ue then received an appointment
as Crown Attorney at Sartene, and subsequently
occupied other important positions at Bustla

court, Mons. Troplong wat bonored in 1831 wlb
tbe decoration of the Legion of Honor, and
was, in November, 1835, called to the position of
Counsellor of the Court of Appeals. These
rapid promotions were mainly due to the great
reputation acquired by his writings. On July
4, 1848. be was elevated to the dignity of Peer of
France. On tbe death of Baron Seguler, he

whole nation. JV". T. Tribune.

A telegram from Augusta, Me., announces

Vbe Corn Trade,
Tbe Mark Lane Hxpre of February IS says
of tbe Corn trade:
'The continued wetof the past week has served
to keep much land under wa'er, bnt where
there is some elevation and natural drainage
it is surprising to nd the ground in compara
tively good working order. Muobofthls is to
be attributed to the numerous fissures made in
the soil during the drought, and the constant
action of those subterranean workers, the
worms.and their auxiliaries. But thesuperQolal
damp aud warmth, coupled with the natural
tendency of all seeds to germinate In spring,
bave made it next to impossible to send well
conditioned samples to market. Hence heavi
ness has been tbe order of tbeoav, and with
theNoitbern ports gradually opening in En
rope, a sort of paralysis has oomeover tbe en
tire corn trade, more depressing to the values
of spring corn than wbeat, for toe reason that
It has relatively been higher; and nntll March
comes to onr help, with Its stirring breezes, we
may remain dull. All calculations bave be
come umettled, from tbe unusual weather;
but It seems that some thirty years slnoe, at
this season, tbe turnip tops bad grown
so rank that they bad to be mown. Astrono
mers tell us there is a remarkable gathering of
spots in tbe sun, and that this disturbance of
our central luminary Is always connected with
magnetic variations, and possibly with electric
action, If so, we must take our fate till nature
reverts to ber primitive simplicity, get through
tbe phenomena as well as we oan, and leave the
question, 'What will tbe end be?' till we arrive
at li. Hay was to have been very dear, but the
abundance of grass has kept down the prloe.
Potatoes were to have rotted off and not much
loss to tbe eaters, either); bJt tbe few
bad left are lost slant of In tbe fineness and
abundance of turnips and areens, and tbe bard
winter so confidently predicted has woke up
tbe files In our living rooms. But wemtyyet
sees turn as complete before the spring has
ended, and we think wheat baa by far tbe best
chance. In France wbeat bas declined Is '2-t.
per quarter, while Belgium bas slightly given
way, as well as several places in Germanv; but
at Hambro prices bave been maintained, both
of wbeat and barley. In New York breadstuff
have rat ber declined.

Several amendments reported by tbe Oo.

Mr. Morrill vt) moved to birike out the
clause, providing mat females Clerks in tne de
partments ahull receive equal pay witn the
male clerks, when they do equal work. He
said, tbe result of lbs previous increase of tue
comrecsailon bad been to greatly multiply tne
number of applicants for such places, and he
predicted that if tbe In or ease now proposed
were snsde.lt would result in tbe abandonment
of tbe employment of female clerks.
Mr. Trumbull thought li just tbat clerks of
both aexts doing equal work, should reoelve
equal pay.
Mr. Ferry took the same view.
Mr. Howe said the reason why lmale clerks
were not paid as rhuoh by the Government as
male clerks, was because, under tbe exUtlug
organisation of society, their labor does not
command any where as nigh pay as the labor of
msiecierES.
This general Inequality could not be remold
by raising tbe pa of the female clerks in, the
employ of tbe Government.
Mr. Trumbull read froru the aots regulating
the employment and pay of dorks lathe de

against femaleB, and again nrwed the Juslioo of

amendment to the Indian Appropriation bills,
and such amendments as the senate might
make to tbe appropriation bills before it. The
next business of pressing importance was the
bills on tbe Speaker's table, which had not
been considered for a long lime. There were
about one hundred and fifteen bills on the
Speaker's table. Many of tbeewere Honse
bills with Senate amendmeuts, most of them
verbal.
Mr. Bohenck said he thought It must be ob
vious to any one who considered the o mention
of the business that one whole night's session
was absolutely necessary, and be thought it
best that tbat session should be to night, when
members were yet fresh, and when there was
llkeiy to be less confusion than on tbe last
night or the session. If the House would meet
at 9 o'olook to-night and ait for two or three
hours, a good deal Of business would be des
patched in tbat time. He boned tbateeai.e-
men on tbe other side who did not feel tbe re
sponsibility which lay on members on his side
wouia noioojeci.
Mr. Wood withdrew his objection, and the
proposition wan Hgreea to.
The Speaker Informed tbe House tbat he de
sired to present to the House, at tbe hoor of
meeting to-morrow, his resignation of the otnoe
winch by its kindness beheld.
On motion of Mr. Butler (Mass ) tbe rules
were snspeudeo.
Tbe Senate amendments to the Indian Ao.
propriatlon bill were non-oonourred In, and a
committee of conference was asked.
Subsequently the Speaker appointed Messrs.
Butler (Mass.), soofleld and wlndom, such
opmmlttee of conferenee.
Mr. Orth, from the committee of eonferenoe
on tbe Consular and Dlplomailo ppropriatton
bill, made a report, made a report, which, after
a brief discussion between Messrs. Batler( Mass.)
and Scofield, the report of the coin mM tee was
agreed to.
