THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 18G0. X2TX2W "jCOHTLiaiaS. From Our 0rn Oorrejonienu Nkw York. July IT, 18fi. The most elepmit nnd legitimate way of attondint free feed In to Invite yourself to one of tlie real estate tale that are constantly taking place In one of the suburbs. When you read that such or such n elegant villa and eligible lot of ground are to be disposed of at auction In West JRonsselaor, IUe, or noboken, or any of tho twenty other subitns that surround New York, all you need to do H to put on an extra supply of check, and go In. Scores of peo ple who haven't a penny to lay out In real estate, and who never will have, do so week after week, and there la always a liberal supply of young mother who seize the occasion to supply their babies w ith frssh air and gratis "good things." The free feeds are the great attractions of the suburban auction sales. At some they even go to the extreme of sup flying champagne nnd sherry; at most they content themselves with a wlneless sud llriuorlcss cold colla tion, consisting of sandwiches, salads, creams, and pastry, lemonade (nnd not very strong lcmenade) being the only beverage with which the guests are expected to llqnorjtip." Two suicides ycsterdiiy. Pistol and p ilson are the chosen qiiietus-iuakcrs this warm weathir. One of the suicides was a despairing woman wao "couldn't make her rent," and whone drunken husband had furtively drawn from the bank all tho money she had deposited there. Another was a despairing coach painter, who was moved to the deed by similar im pccunlositf . The frequency, of similar ants speaks very little for the progress of personal piety among the lower classes. So that the desperate creatures "shake" this life, they seem to worry themselves very little about the one to come. I suppose, long btrfure they reach the crisis, they come to the con clusion that things cannot be much worse elsewhere than they are here. They bocome pessimists long before they develop into self-destroyers, and gradu ally get worked up to the necessary point, until at length they look upon the miseries that surround them and shudder, aud look upon the poison and resolve 1 Are you aware that there ore about sixteen Imn ' dred theatrical bill boards In this city? Two firms monopolize the posting for all the places of amuse ment, each establishment paying au average or fifteen dollars per week. Pugilism by gaslight was the only remedy which two ruffians yesterday morning saw out of their difficulties. After Interchanging for some time the choicest refinements In anathemas, In Third avenue, they adjourned to a vacant lot on Fourth avenue, and there casting aside all superfluous garments, prepared to punish one another in true prize-ring style. It was about S o'clock in the inoruiug. The stars were twinkling In the sky- and some metro politan stars were twlnkllug round the corner. These latter luminaries did about half as much good as they might have done, and arrested one of the prin cipals and one of the seconds. It Is said that Carlotta Pattl is coming to this coun try In the fall. She has been wandering In Kuropo, north as far as Stockholm and south as far as Con stantinople, and now wishes to repeat, In tho United States, successes which have only been second to those of her phenomenal sister Adallna. It was this Carlotta who. when she was last in Philadelphia wr.s disgusted with the smallness and lcincss of the au dience. She vowed she would cither never go there again, or that it should not be until they had learned how to appreciate her better. Have Philadelphlans learned better, I wonder ? They are cold, very cold and even when something extraordinary comes along they are not always proportionably warmed. I have never described at any length one of the new institutions at the Central Park. This is a Moorish temple, the ground color of whoso exterior Is brown. The roof is domed, and is sprinkled with stars over a pale-blue "sky." Almost every kind of mineral drink that can be named cau here be pur chased. Yon can swallow health by the bottle and "drink the waters" without attending auy watering place. Hither throng Invalids who cannot afford the expense of journeys and hotels. Vichy, Ems, Carls bad, Kissengen, Marienbad, Congress, and every other kind of water are all to be had. The celebrated watering-places of the world have their nucleus in this handsome Moorish temple. The proprietors would not allowed to set it up without handing over a considerable sum of money to the treasurer of the park. The temple was put up at their own expense, and a portion of the profits goes into the Central Park treasury. "For that are we doctors." No less than twenty different mineral drinks flow from the congeries of fountains there. Their "alterative" properties are enough to make an Ethiopian trans mute his epidermis or the leopard lose his spots. To use an old simile, the Central Park, when this insti tution Is held In view, is like looking at health and country living through the small end of the opera glass. They look a long way off, although you see them so plainly. A romantic lncldent,whiuh Is not generally known, has occurred within the last few days In this city. The romantic-minded peripatetic along Broadway and Fifth avenue but particularly along Broadway will remember an Italian family of wandering musicians, consisting of a man, his wife, and a child. The man played the violin, the woman bran dished a tamborlne, the child sang and accom panied himself on the harp. There were some points remarkable about the child. One was the total ab sence of resemblance to his parents. They were dark and swarthy ; their features were flushed with the genuine Italian blood. lie was a blonde of the Niblo's Garden style with yellow hair and broad, light blue eyes, cheeks like tlnest satin, and lips like rosebuds transmuted Into flesh, In answer to some Pygmalion-like prayer. He was appa rently about fifteen. Ills clothes were torn, his hair was tangled, and his ensemble was tattered; but through his rags and his wretchedness there shone forth the royalty of beauty. His voice, too, was almost phenomenal. I have often seen him sur rounded by a crowd of men, women, aud chil dren, who greeted his performances with such a shout as some unapplaudcd prima donna might be glad to awaken. Not only pennies but greenbacks tell into the hat which his father carried around. Contrary to the popular delusion in regard to street singers, he was treated extremely well by his father and mother. No blows, no threats; but kisses from his mother, encouragement from his father, kind ness from both. Well, one afternoon, not very many davs ago. a wealthy but eccentric lady, whom the equel proved to have laid her plans well, beckoned to him from her carriage winnow as no was passing up Fifth avenue. At that moment he was alone. It was one of those rare thnes when, his parents hav ing gone home, he was left to wander In the streets without their protection. He Baw the lady's signal, at her solicitation he entered the carriage, with his harp, nl before he knew what was to be done with him the carriage drove off. Night came on, and his distracted parents were driven almost wild. So many strange cases of kidnapping have lately occurred within metropolitan precincts, that it is no wonder they felt alarmed. They have since been masBtired and recompensed, however, for what they were made to suffer. On getting tho boy home with her, the lady had him shown to a bath-room, and provided with every toilet requisite. After bathing and shampooing, and dress ing himself in the attire of a young gentleman, which she had provided for him, he was shown Into the lady's presence, and requested to play upon the harp anything he knew. Tho strangeness of the adven ture, the novelty of his new position, at first embar rassed him so greatly that he broke dowh in every thing he attempted. Possessing native retlnemeut, however, he succeeded in regaining his tranquillity, and when he had well-nigh exhausted his stock of melodies, hit upon a simple English air, which pro duced the strangest effect upon the lady. The blood left her cheeks as though it had been snatched away, the tears sprang to her eyes, aud wlthout'hesitatlng a moment longer she rushed to the ottoman where the young harpist was seated, ami putting her arms aroung him, pressed her.hands with an investigating motion upon his breast He moved as if suddenly alarmed, ana as tnougu to repel her, but his motion tightened her embrace and ouly hastened me discovery she was making. That Virginal expansion of bowin which her womuu's touch had defied told a too truthful tale, and re vealed that the young singer was, not a youth, but a person of her own sex. The nntlclpatlve reader will guess the rest, and I make a long story short by stating the simple fact that phc lady proved to be a mother, who, In the artless countenance of the street singer, recognized her "long-lost cheo-ylld." Tableau! Embrace, and explanations all round. The two wicked Italians are forgiven and pensioned off; Identity proved by the simple song to which the blonde beauty was sung to sleep In earlier years. The only mysterious point that remained was, why did the girl assume a boy's disguise? This point she clears lip by avowing that she could not bear the coarse looks and words which saluted her from men when Hte appeared attired in the garments of her sex. She therefore persuaded her pseudo-parents to allow her to adopt male garments, hoping thereby to elude the Insult that is born of a coarse admira tion of one's jihysfivf. The lady had much dlillculty In persuading the girl and her "parents" to sparate ; but the separation ita effected at last, and "clinched" by the real mother and her restored daughter sail ing for Europe in a recent steamer. Truth Is strangor than fiction and not nearly so prob.tblel What a rush there will tie to-morrow for tho sea sldo! How cars and sleamboats will be sardlned! What a quantity of bathers will be snatching health and strength from a few moments' plunge In the briny shallows! How gratefully that man would be ahprociated who should Invent a new, slightly stimulating, and wholly Innocuous drink 1 With what a wealth of eulogy his name would descend to posterity ! For people will drink this warm weather, and no Boston prohibitory law would prevent them. They do It In spite of the cholera that is whispered of at Coney Island, aud the yellow fever that Is breathed about In Williamsburg. Anil of the New York summer Sunday might be Bald almost the very words that Macbeth says of sleep. It Is Indeed the death of each week's life, sore lubor's bath, chief iiourishcr in life's fenst. It commences at 8 o'clock on Saturday afternoon and las's until nearly three on Monday morning. It is a Paris Sunday with the theatres nnd beer saloons closed. No doubt it is a very unholy way of spending Sunday, but it is a human nature way, and human nature, I am afraid, is much more satisfactory In this life than superhuman holiness. Our suburbs swarm of a Sabbath with the poorer classes, and tho middling classes, of course. Those who aie Just well enough off not to know what It is to lack a comfort, of course keep themselves at home In the shady Idle ness of their own houses. The great multitude per spire their way through pleasure; the elegant few evaporate in dlgnllicd resignation under their own roof-trees. Speaking of ex cursions, however, I might mention that excursions to San Francisco arc now the only ones worth talking of. Metropolitan life is so short, at the best, that as great a variety of experience a pos sible is crowded Into holidays by those who are thrifty of time. Not a week passes without New York merchants, who have never left business for a day's pleasure for twenty years, Improvising com mercial picnics whose goal Is California, and whose object Is to see all that there is to be seen In a trans continental trip over the "greatest country on tho face of the yenrth !" The goaheadativness of Gotham work as though death alone were the re tiring point and they were going to spend their greenbacks In a paper-currency heaven. Miss Western, at the Grand Opera House, is the most attractive amusement in the city. Her plays are extremely heavy, but the aidlences like them, and deal out to her the tribute of smothered sniffs. The Child Stealer has been produced at last, and Lucille Is as repulsively attractive as evor in her "creation" of "Number Three." You might imagine that, at one time, she had been matron in a reforma tory for female Inebriates, so true to nature Is her representation of the dead-drunk "Maggie" who frequents St. Giles'. There are certain points In the play where she is startllngly natural, and it Is at such points that she starts out of her litur gical monotony of delivery, aud speaks, not to the audience ( jvhlch she is in the habit of doing), but to the actor with whom she Is supposed to be con versing. Thus, in describing her conflict with an inmate of the prison who had attempted to rob hor of the golden locket containing her child's hair, Miss Western exclaims, "I beat her, and I beat her, and I beat her !" in a low, muilled, suppressed tone, yet in one which bringB before the hearer a perfect picture of the conflict In question. This and the Impersona tion of "Number Three" are the two good points la all the long five acts. All the rest of the characteri zation is so overhung with crude excrescences that one feels a compassion for the actress whom the rapid years seem to teach so little. John Allen has vanished Into the shades, but the Water street prayer meetings still continue. They have long ago been removed from Allen's old house, and though they have lost their first brilliancy and flavor, they are kept up with a quiet conscientious ness that brings forth its own fruit. , The long-anticipated rain storm set in yesterday afternoon at about half-past five. It made sad havoc along Broadway, scattering the pedes' ..ins there In the "shaking of a Iamb's tall," and making City Hall Park a slough of mud In less time almost than It takes to relate' it.
