8 THE DAILY EV ENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 18G9. city nn: i, l.iu is kce. CAIITE. tnfc, Fh, nnd Fwl The 1lrt of the Vrseta rlnn The Teothrame Dlnhra which Omen ear Tnhlr. Pprlng time In declining to It close. May tho Mwcry month has already given to the grateful air lore than half her fragrance. That's a pretty way f regarding the season; but there's another way wire sensible, at any rate more stomachic, anrtby their stomach, men are rtle.l. r 'or a rjMcm. nwnd half an hour to-morrow In any of onr markets, and we warrant that you will experience that parttj Dieasurable, partly tantalizing sensation which wo Seslenate by the expression "my mouth waters." EvervbortV knows what that means-everybody will appreciate tt-for everybody has felt u The liey-dar of the epicure has commenced. nT canned fruits and compressed vegetables of -VnJrhavc Yielded place to the fresh, Juicy, and Smntlnc products of the river and the Held. A sight 15 the escnient delicacies spread In such profusion n the stalls of all our markets is enough to mako X man rub his hands In satisfaction. We pity the 2vS "nti chap who wouldn't make such a gesture. WhT what poor man, though he knows his purse too cAnt to purchase, but feels the better for even a wiaiire at the appetizing array, or a whlir of its ravishing scent? And then the way the tanners have f displaying their greens Is aggravating in the ex treme Hee how nicely, artistically, and adroitly H.CT arrange their peas, strawberries, and watcr Jesscs upon the st alls. Those fellows have nothing to learn in their business. The strings of what purse but open involuntarily at the mute suggestion of the imnirs they expose? We don't know what kind of a market old Kptcums attended, but we do know that knd he lived in the present age, and In the city of Philadelphia, and had the opportunity of visiting our markets; he would have clasped his hands on his Stomach, and, inspired by '.he spectacle, given .'. raniifu to the world an immortal song, lie would have sung the praises of the American cabbage, the American shad, Biid the American clilckeu, tmd wanted no better theme, lint I.plcurus is gone. Who can point us to his like? mr stalls must go tin sumr but then thev will not go unsought. What sholT we sav of that sublime dish, lamb and mint sauce with its delicious accompaniment or peas? And then the asparagus. It would be difficult to say whether it ought to rank with the peas; but one could 8'ly "Decide, without gront wrnnf to either. It is much better to have both than neither." Unmmer cabbages, Bermuda potatoes, Bermuda nlons, spinach, lettuce, Boston cucumbers (toma toes are rather scarce as yet), parsley, leeks, shallots, Mring beans, water-cresses, radishes, all these are In easen. and all have a delightful air of couniry fresh ness anil a pleasant odor of mother earth that Is quite refreshing. Besides, too, whit hungry thoughts a knowledge of their excellent qualities suggests to one whose plethoric purse ail'ords him the comfort able assurance that he may reduce these agreeable visions to actual experience. But what would be these vegetable luxuries without their appropriate accompaniments fish, flesh, and fowl ? Vegetables are undoubtedly necessary elements of good living, bnt after all they are only secondary, Wiur vege tarian philosopher a man generally with a sour tooth mav vaunt himself as long as he chooses noon the excellence of bran ami greens; but who is there able to extract "blood from a turnip ?" Yob. might as well attempt to reduce a cobble-stone to the consistence of an apple-dumpling, or delude Tourself with the notion that a boot-top could be fried as tender as a sirloin steak. Old BenFranklin andhc is good authority, too tried vegetarianism for awhile but soou returned to his mutton with a ven geance for he became so ravenous by abstinence hat'he'ate a whole leg of it at one sitting. The fol lowing stanzas of some carnivorous humorist seem t, ft upon "There was Ornhnm, a patron of aqnaahM and bran He whom Chrmtiun name wan Sylvester; He was pale, eliitht, and dry -quite a (travyless mun Was thin fanatic roast beef detester. 'Ho delighted in biscuit, ne aonum on rice. And all meat did forever aside throw ; And averred that carnivorous Hut worn a vice la the midst of hie triumphs died though." A word now about fish. That, you know, liead3 the trio of fish, flesh, ami fowl. Salmon can be Intel now in the Farmers' Market for about forty cents per pound of a flavor, too, to make your hair curl. Brook trout is somewhere near the same price, and everybody votes trout splendid eating, though there lie many, of whom we are one, that think it better fun to get them under one's waistband than to get under the water after them in some hole or the rreck Salmon, trout, and shad ves, we must not forget shad, one or the best llsh In the market their condition is A No. 1. Some people imagine shad the tihief, and perhaps they are not far wrong. So far as our Jjelaware shad are concerned, where caa they tie caught better? The flesh of them is so appetizing that you forget to swear at the little bones. That's Baying a good deal in their praise. We saw some on a stall in the market that would make a ban vi vant'H eves dance. Beauties they were, fresh taken from the water, and their sheeny sides glittered like Hilver. What language Is adequate to describe the surpassing flavor of this noble lish ? People who form their ideas of the flavor of this fish from the specimens caught in the Connecticut and North rivers, have no conception of what shad is. The tinny monarch of thel)elavaro as much surpasses his 'brother of the North or Connecticut rivers in flavor as he does in size and beauty. To compare the two is to liken Hyperion to a Satyr. From 40 to CO cents apiece is about the average for this Kind of f kd. Pen-bass are just begiuuiug to come into market. They are worth an average or 15 cents a pound. There are some line large blackHsh in mar ket just now, worth from 12 to 15 cents a pound. Jreen turtle is selling at from 15 to 25 cents a pound. The fresh mackerel are in splendid condition now, and look tempting enough with their livid black etripes on a white silver gronnd. Flesh comes next. The most succulent and julcv in the market just now is spring lamb. You can buy quarter of one so tender that it will melt in your mouth for $2 or 12-50. The prices of veal vary very much ranging from 20 to 80 cents a pound. Beer and mutton not being delicacies of any particular season, it is unnecessary to speak of them. Game is quite plenty. English snipe, from New Jersey, In diana, and Illinois, are worth 14-60 per do.en ; plover name price; yellow-legged snipe, from New Jersey, name price; squabs, 0 per dozen ; Teal duck, 75 cents a pair; Mallard duck, tl-ftOapalr. Fowls are also very plenty. Spring chickens are worth from ti-.v) to S3 a pair, and Bucks county and Long island XowIb 25 and 80 cents a pound. The following is a fair outline of prioes for the deli cacies named In the Farmers' Market: Asparagus, 25 cents a bunch ; strawberries, from 45 to or. cents a box; peas, 25 cents a half peck; shad, from 25 cents upwards to 80 cents apiece; spring chickens, from 11-60 to t'2-15 per pair; quarter of spring lamb, S2 to $2-50; new potatoes (Bermuda), 75 cents to fl per half peck ; tomatoeB, 60 to 80 cents a quart ; npinach, 20 to 25 cents a half peck; water-cresses, 3 to 6 cents a nuncn; caunnower, irom 50 to 75 ents a head; lettuce, irom o io in cents a head -Mullshes, from 6 to 10 cents a hunrh; salmon, 40 cents a pound ; veal, 26 to 30 cents a pound And the.volce of the strawberry woman Is heard on the streets. We well-nigh forgot that, she shrieked in our ear the other morning with a tone as sweet and lively as a locomotive whistle, but the words she utlereu, pirawoerries on i ou : on- were so sugges tive that we forgave her. The fruit, however, is not yet very plenty in the markets, neither are the ven dors of Hon the street. Persons of moderate in comes mnst be content to wait a liuui longer, till the Amazonian army of shrill-voiced Teutons and fJcltfl proclaim their full advent lu the street h,i. the familiar cry, and bring the plump and luscious fruit to our doors. Who can tell all the edible virtues vi straw berries 7 'rneyweu deserve iue rapturous encomiums that have been bestowed upon them bv the pot ts of all nations where the fruit is grown ami a "iimii in ripe Biiitwiierrien suiouiered wld raine" is indubitably one of the most deHei, Urniuu bouclifi that ever tickled the palate of a vo luptuary. Alas! that the strawberry should be such uitUHtvuv viewing, uui "All that's bright must fads, The briKUtestbtill the fleetest; All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest."

He said that there was not a college In the I'nlted States that had the opportunity that Union College has of com mencing the system in vogue In German nnlversl tles. Instead of "Union" having 150,000 volumes in the library, It ought to have a million. Ills address was full of point, and had great weight with the meeting. lie was followed by the Rev. Robert C. Mnflnck, In tho same strain. Pr. M attack said that Union College had given morn practical men to the coun try than all the rest of the colleges together, and followed up the assertion by proof. Instancing a long line of Secretaries of the United States, Cabinet otlleers, Governors of States, eminent Generals, anil one half the BlPhops now In tho Kplscopal Church, to say nothing of Judges and lawyers. Hev. Dr. Warrlner then spoke of the old remi niscences and remembrances of "Old Union ;" of the garden of "Captain Jack,"' of the woods, and the vales of the Mohawk, and the t'nlr daughters of "Dorp," many of whom were now happy wives and mothers, because "Old Union" hud been set down In their midst.

Recovery op Stolen Pkotkkty in New Your. The show window of the Jewelry store of Charles Mggins, at No. 104 North Second street, lu this city, was smashed on the loth of March last, by some daring thieves, and Mono worth of jewelrv of various kinds stolen. A few davs ago, Captain Jourdan, of the Sixth precinct police or Nework eity, learned that nearly f 1200 worth or rings, a portion of the pro perty stolen from the Philadelphia store, had been purchased by Judah Boas, keeping an establishment at No. 801 Bowery, in New York. Mr. Ligglns was Informed of this fact bv Captain Jourdan, and on Mfiiiiinv lust, nroreeded to the latter citv. and made n itnitiavit before justice nogan, reciiiug me uu i. ui the robbery, also the information received from iiptain Jourdan. A search warrant was granted oy the magistrate, and yesterday Detective Y ooldrldge searched the store of Boas, and found there ?ln) worth of the stolen rings. These were seized, una Boas taken into custody. When taken before the magistrate, counsel for the prisoner said that he oulit prove that tne rings were pnrciiaseu ny noas on a dav prior to the robbery. Mr. Ligglns pointed out on ilie rings his private trade nvirk. Boas wa men committed to awn it an examination. Tni? mretino held at the West Arch Street Presby terian Church last evening was entirely harmonious, and promises to result in the entire payment of the debt. A committee was appointed to confer with the Rev. Dr. Willlts, tne pastor, -anti endeavor, mrougn divine aid, to Induce him to withdraw his resigna tion and devise means, through the help of the Holy Spirit, whereby the debt of the church may be liqui dated during the next vear or two, the spiritual con dition of the church improved, and its Christian In fluence, missionary labors, chanty and benevolence greatly enlarged and extended." Subscriptions were made conditioned upon the payment or the whole debt, amounting to $11,110. The meeting adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening next, to hear the report of the committee. We rejoice at this result. The ntire proceedings were characterized by harmony and gootl feeling, and we predict that West Arch will soon be relieved of all her linancial embarrassments, and be productive of great good to the community.

Relative to the loss of this vessel on the La Plata river, South America, on the 13th of March, the Bos ton Traveller says: We are pained to announce that the news is fnllv confirmed in all its tlctulls. This fine steamer, which was built In East Jloston by Messrs. McKay AMus at an expense of f2oo,ooo, was burned to the water's etlpe on the nltrht of March lit, and four men of her crew pensneti in her. Among them was Mr. Everett l oiun, or .Nantucket, a youiijr man or about twenty five years of ajre. Ho served his time as a niachinl'st with Messrs. McKay Aldus, and went In the Yl as an oiler. We knew him, and can say that he was a youtiK man of much promise, upright In all his deal liifrs, well educated, strictly moral, and with ambi tion enonjrn to work nis way upward in the world. urn parents reside in Nantucket, but ne has two brothers and several other friends who now reside In Kast Boston. Those who worked with him speak of htm with feellnyrs of deep sympathy, for he was a Kreat favorite with his fellow-workmen. We have not yet heard the names of those who perished with him, and do not even know whether thev were Americans; but this we may safely say that they have left behind some one who loved them, and who are, therefore, entitled to our sympathy.

Until last night tho adjoining city of .TefTerson, though Included ia the Metropolitan Police district, lias refused t accept the Metropolitan force, offering armed resistance to every attempt on tho part of tho Metropolitans to exercise their functions. In the mcantimo litigation commenced in the courts. Last night tho Metropolitans of this city, mustering 300, under a captain were detailed to take charge of the JelTerson precinct. They made a movement about 10 o'clock on tho municipal buildings In JelTerson, which wcro filled w ith armed citizens, nnd a small battle ensued, In which 12 or 14 of the Metropolitans Vcro wounded, some it is thought dangerously, and the police retired. Governor Wanuouth called upon Generti Mower for troops, and one company was fur nished. This morning they marched quietly to the municipal buildings, and. meeting no oppo sition, installed the Metropolitans in possession. The citizens of JelTerson arc much excited, and the soldiers arc still on the ground.

At a special meeting of tho Board of Overseers of Harvard University to day, the nomination of Charles O. Eliot for tho Presidency was confirmed by a vote of 16 to 8. NO "(JO ! " How rnfort nniite tltnt I wn Horn a Man." Hobert 15. Hoosevelt, editor and proprietor of tho New York Citizen, has petitioned tho "Honorable I'resltlentess and members of the New York Sorosls" for admission Into that association of tho strong minded. Here is one of his pleas: 1 have some claim to your consideration. Through, all the years that I have been editor of tho Citizen the contributions of ladles were placed on the same basis us those of Kcntlemen. When wo had to pay for them we paid at the same rate for each. When woman did the same work as man, Bhe received from that just journal the same remuneration. In that olllce the ladles were not only treated as equals, but very often as superiors, straru?e as that mar appear to you. Tho result you may have observed In tho largo number of songs, stories, and communications writ ten by members of your sex In the Citizen. I have Invariably urged upon the Press Club that the exclu sion of women should be repealed. It is true that ou the occasion of certain public dinners I have taken the contrary view, but that originated from another absurd prejudice. It was Bald that if ladies were admitted smoking must be prohibited, and, ot course, when it came to a rivalry between a cigar and a woman there could bo but ono answer. 1 do not meau this exactly, but that it seemed to me that the fault lay with your sex; for I was perfectly will ing to let yoa come if you would only tako kindly to the cigar. All this was iu vain, for he soou received this answer: Mr. K. B. Hoosevelt Dear Sir: Your proposition te become a member of Sorosls was laid before the Executive Committee, and subsequently before the club. I regret to say the decision was not in yonr favor. The reasons," it is only fair to state, were not those of character, position, or personal merit, bat consisted solely of society restrictions as to sex. Per sonally you have been found very agreeable by members of Sorosls. Reputation and position am alike unexceptionable; but the unfortunate fact of your being a man outweighs these aud all other claims to membership. We willingly admit, of course, that the accident of your sex Is on your part a misfortune, and not a fault. Nor do wo wish to arrogate anything to our selves because we had tho good fortune to be born women. We sympathize most truly and heartily with you and the entire male creation In their present and prospective desolation and nnhapplness; hut this Is all we can do. Sorosls is too young for the society of gentlemen, and must be allowed time to grow. Hy-and-bv, when it has reached a proper age say twenty-onb it may ally itself with tho Press Club or some other male organization of good char acter and standing; but for years to come its reply to all male suitors must be, "Principles, not men."
