From Our Oim Correspondent.
Nkw Yohk, April 1W.
The first shower of the aeaion yesterday afternoon
made the only effectual attempt that has yet been
made to taj the dust, ami allay the pedestrians alonjj
Broadway. All the year roumi we thn pedi-strlRtiH
suffer from two evliH, viz., diiht and mil l. When we
dont have one we have the other; and, having no
street commissioner who cares a continental for
anything but filling a Binecuro with perfect rate to
Himself, no remedy Is ever applied. The evil 1st, In
deed, a trine ameliorated now that Broadway, be
tween the Battery and Grace Church, has been newly
paved, but much remains to be done, Along the
length of City Hall Park the breezes most love to
conjrrerat. They make that placo their grand ren
dezvous, and during a dusly, gusty season, like
this, a score of cap and hat may constantly be seen
capriciously perambulating over the green Inside the
park and among the hackney coacheH outside. Instead
of remauiiug in their proper places upon their
owners' heads. Add to this the temporary blindness
created by the tlnst, and It will be seen that It Is uo
eay matter to regain your ehapeau when once It is
removed. Consequently I pay yesterday afternoon's
thunder-shower was a perfect godsend In Its way.
April showed herself to ho a belter street-sprinkler
than any quantity of watering-carts, although I am
not aware that the poets have hitherto regarded her
In that light.
A day or two ago, In my veloclperegrlnatlons along
Park Row, I encountered an ex-llgnt of Forneys
I'm, who, under tho eobriqutl, of, I believe, tho
Artful Vvdim, was even almost as distinguished an
institution in ms way among l'njiaueipma newspaper
critics as Old Wick Is In his. In otner words, Cap
tain J. K. Norcross, for many years a Bohemian
luminary of the Quaker City, and whilom editor and
correspondent in the Houili, has determined to settle
in New York in quest of fame and fortune, or, ir
fame and fortune are inaccessible, of a good salary
and a fair reputation. He Is In the way of getting
them, for he can do everything on a newspaper, and
has already had several good things thrown In his
way by leading editors, besides having been snapped
np by several magazines for contriiuiimns respecting
matters at the 8011th. In fact, New York jourualism
is full of I'hJladclphians. A grist of them came on
here some years ago when Mr. Young seceded from
one of tw opapers (both daily), and the inilux. has
continued ever since. It la rarely that you will enter
the rooms of a first-class newspaper nr weekly here
without coming face to fu'-,e vvitli a riilladelplilan
employed in Home responsible positlnn.
It is said that affairs up at the Inebriate Asylum nt
Blnghaniton are being very badly managed; that
the patients, indiscriminately, are ullowed to visit the
'city unattended by any officer or keeper, and that of
those who do como here thus, the majority return
drunk. Dr. T. J, Gardiner, the lalu Keglster of the
asylum, avers that no patient has any ditllculty,
under the present regime, in obtaining any quantity
of drugs and narcotics, and that the extent to which
such liceiu-e U abused la notorious throughout the
village of Ilingbainton. The occasion of Dr. Gar
diner's addressing himself to the public is the recent
deatn at the asylum of a 11. 11. P. Seward, or Brook
lyn, who, last Thursday, took an ovordoso of opium,
but on the last occasion took that little bit too much
which has ho often proved fatal. It appears that the
debauched Jtinghiimtonlans are in tho habit of
visiting the city for the purpose of attending tho
circus, the theatre, Plymouth Church, spiritualistic
Jubilees, and other entertainments of a Christian and
recuperative nature, I hope Niblo's was not included,
for a portion of the entertainment there consists of
a drunken woman scene, nightly greeted with much
demoralised applause. These visits are used as
opportunities for "sprees and splashes." The most
saintly penitents become the most insatiable repro
bates. The converted bummer, who had become
Sedate, sedentary, and studious, forgets the existence
of Adam's ale, and instead of burning tho midnight
Oil, swallows the fusel.
- bwinburne, the champion Health Oillcer at Staten
Island, has lceu bullying the Hoard of Health, who
andertook to lecture him for allowing Infected ships
to enter the port of New York, a la James Foster,
Jr. Swiuburne Is the man whom tho Herald lately
bad a row with because he attempted to Interfere
with the Herald' special messengers detailed to
board vessels arrived in quarantine, and get news in
advance of other papers. He has an extremely sum
mary way of dealing with poor insignificant devils
who presume to ceusure his conduct. When they
make strictures upon him and his doings, how
blandly be informs them that they lie! and if they
begin to show fight, he backs himself upon hLs official
Htation, and asks them IX they will accept an amend
ment to matters now, or wait till they get it? Mein
whlle he is not so sure of his position as he thinks.
Better men than he nave tilled it before now, and
better men are ready and waiting to 1111 it again.
Bullyism, one of the grand varieties of "cheek," may
be an admirable speciiic for pushing oneself, but it
will not answer in all circumstances. Dark tales are
whispered along Staten Island of the doings of Swin
burne, whose political morals seem to be not much
better tbau the poetical ethics of his namesake across
the water.
A step-sister of Lydta Thompson's has Just appeared
at Niblo's and created a good deal of trouble among
the youthful white waistcoats that Ml the lobbies and
aisles there between 9 and it o'clock every evening.
She Is not a blonde, but she has lived among the
blondes, and has snatched something of their bright
ness. Besides, she is a graceful velociptdeatrienne,
and her slashed trunks enwreathe an enchanting pair
of perambulators. New York appears just now to be
the practising school for English actresses who have
Kaduated in Loudon. Bevy number one is at Niblo's;
vy number two at Wall's opera-house ; bevy num
ber three, In the pantomime of Mubinmn Crunor, is to
open next week at Wood's, where Miss Mariott
already is doing "Mrs. Ualler," and looking as though
she dieted on something a triile more substantial
than "a crumb or tsread moistened by the tear of
penitence." At the Tammany, three brothers named
Gregory, at the risk of their lives, are nightly draw
lug vociferous crowds. A Mademoiselle Kose
Kmith who nerforma the transept flight In the
style of Henyah, is one attraction: but tho Gregory
boys are the great ones, the principal feat of Albert,
" the youngest, being to throw a complete somersault
In the air, at a height of forty feet above the foot
lights, his leap being made from the bands of oue
brother, suspended by bis knee-Joints froin a trapeae,
s Into the hands of the other, similarly suspended. It
to almost unnecessary to say that Albert has already
" bad a "Note to the .Editor" printed in one of the big
dailies, the writing and printing or suen correspou
fipnre heinir mitte a matter of course since the sue
cess of Miss Thompson. A letter in the Herald, or
the Trmra, or the Wvrbi is an inevitable portion of
the programme on these occasions, and few indeed
are the actors who will despise an example already
so triumphantly set by Lydia i nompson, miza m-w-tou,
Mr. Brougham. M. Uabel, Master Gregory, Mr.
XlrVlrkar. ami others whose names cscaoe inc.
At his recent withdrawal from the band-box the
i atre in Twenty-fourth street, Mr. Brougham made a
felicitously obscure allusion to the cause of his retire
ment. That cause is talked about among his friends
a'nd admirers with many mysterious shakings or the
bead. Why the shakings should be mysterious I
cannot understand, but they do say that the proprie
tor of that theatre, of which Mr. Brougham was
itwntii the lessee, had an uncommonly burning de-
' uir tn nnttrttte the mvsterv of behind the scenes at
all hours ofthe day and night, but more particularly
when the yunng ladies 01 me company were aei-i-mi-kio
in hia inwn-room or at the winas. W hether Mr.
Blrgfleld will be very peremptory In his exclusion of
t iw. fiuurfimtlnir maniuulator of Krle bonds remains to
be seen; but, whether the Erie impreanariu be success
ful or not in these post-foot-light schemes, it Is certain
that Kink, as tho triumphant representativ e of money
and pluck, Is worshipped by a certain dins. People
follow that well-known velvet suit of his, and

Offenbach, and shown himself to be s particularly

among the "biillllnenos" of the Kiith avenue as
among the "bulls" of Wall street. Meimwh le it must

clothes without paying higher prices than are bImo
Intely I necessary. The scale is, you know, cheap,
cheaper, cheapest, that Is, their prices begin at what
used to be the lowest price, and go downward In
stead or upward. Wanamakrh A Brown have se
cured no "patent right" on this new scale or theirs,
for they are glad to bring down the price or clothing
everywhere, and are very willing to be imllited In
this respect, but they assure their customers that
when others reach this scale then Oak Hall will be
