Hvreetly Nmlll.g Landladies.
I try not to obtrado my own experiences cro
tistlcally upon the renders of Tng ErRMNO
Teleorai-ii, but occasionally something hap
pens to mo that forcibly reminds me that I am
livinjr. in New York, In tho very centre ol a re
fined heathendom. Something happened In this
way the other day, bolnff nothing less than my
experience In search of rooms. I am not
ashamed to say that I consulted a morning
newepapor, which, like any other newspaper
In New York, has a "lur.-er circulation than
11 tho other dailies combined" and I am
not ashamed to avovr that, having consulted
it, I clioso a locality designated in
the advertisements as not a hundred
miles from tho Academy ot Music and Irving
IT all. The situation was eminently respectable.
Tho street was quid, tho overhanging shadows
of tho mirrounding brownstoues were solemn
and decorous, the name tounded slightly im
posing. Backed with these Impressions I rang
the bell ot a sparkllngly white door, and was
shown by a colored servant Into a small but
prettily furnished parlor, where I was presently
waited upon by the lady of the house, a
goahcnditlvc-looklng woman of about thlrty
thrco, with a blue merino dress, green eyes,
which might have been merino, loo, from any
expression they had, and n quantity of lace
trilling about the neck. She talked glibly, and
just a little too glowingly, of her own table, and
the furniture and oppolntmcnts of her
establishment. She said that you couldn't
"mis" people at a place where the
comforts of a home wero desired,
and I agreed with her that yon couldn't "mix"
them any more than you can mix drinks with
impunity. Thon she showed me the rooms,
chattering all the time about tho ladles and gen
tlemen who at present composed her family, and
to whom I had no manner of objection, except
that thoy all appeared to have titles. Vander
bilt, Jerome, Stuyvesant, and Roosovolt, "and
elch" tell honlly from her lips, and I was
assured that she had taken the creme de la ere me
of society and quintcssenced it into a kind of
condensed mucilage, with which, figuratively,
She spread her dully bread. Then tho rooms
were shown bright, cosy, cheerful, and mode
rate in terms. Thore was no denying that. I
allowed those advantages to preponderate, and
Against my better judgment, gave her reason to
believe that my final answer, to be given her on
the morrow, would be favorable.
The morrow came.
Now it is not once in six months that I pick
pu a newspaper deoling largely or wholly in
criminal news. Providentially I did so that
morning, and the first paragraph that struck my
eye was a rehash of a recent police court scene,
in which the words "fashionable boarding
Louse" figured. A glance was sufficient. The
street, and "Place," and number were the same
as those of the house I had been so compla
cently contemplating. The counts, colonels,
and generals with whom I had been destined to
sit tete-a-tete or vis-a-vis melted into the thin
nest of all air that in which individuals who
ar ' 'sold" breathe and since then 1 have exer
cised the warlobt wisdom in my selection of
boarding-houses, and have not even trusted to
It thon. Tho syren that had gulled me was a
first-class fraud, nud t! o history of her boarders
was a history of assaults, batteries, and imposi
tions, whose sequel was the Tombs, or Jefferson
Market Police Court.
Artistic Amusements.
Mr. Baruum was the great pioneer of artistic
advertisements, and set an example in that re
spect which has been extensively followed not
only in this city but all over Ihe Union. Tho
system has iuvaded all professions, but mostly
that branch of the medical which cannot be said
to belong to vile quackery on tho one hand or to
publications by members of the regular faculty
on the other. The readers of New York papers
in city and countty have their attention often
attracted not merely by the local and foreign
news, the editorials, tho literary reviews, the
theatrical criticisms of the journals in question,
but often by the singularly able manner in which
these medical advertisements of the bettor sort
re written. And so they ought to be, for they
are, fir the most part, written by men who have
spent most of their lives at that sort of thing,
and know how to express the ideas of their prin
cipalsmen who, generally, could not write six
consecutive sentences grammatically to a hair.
This branch of literature, low as it is, is ex
tremely well paid for, much better than those
branches In which genius or talent is required,
and is monopolized, as I before hinted, by one
or two men. If yon send a short poem to a
magazine you will not, as a rule, get more
than ten dollars for it, unless your name is suffi
ciently well known in Itself to render the poem
attractive. Yet these advertisement-writers will
not set pen to paper unless they get at least half
that amount per foolscap page, and there is at
least one man in this city who makes thousands
of dollars a year in this branch of literature
alone.
Fugitive Authors.
Poems are sometimes spoken of as fugitive;
why should not authors be spoken of so, too,
especially those poor plaintive creatures who,
having gained a provincial suspicion of fame
somewhere West or South, come to New York,
Imagining that Carlcton or some other spicy
publisher will snap them up, or that the New
York Sunday Mercury will pay them several
thousand dollars per novellctte lu the same way
as it used to pay the author of the "Pillar of
Fire," when he wrote for its pages? The author
of ihe "Pillar of Fire," by-tho-by (his name has
slipped my memory for the moment), was what
Is called "a rusher." When he was engaged on
a new novelette and he deserves to be called a
New York lam of the utmost originality he used
to shut himself up in a seclusion similar to that
of Balzac, and never leave his apartmont until
the work was completed. As George Francis
Train or Mrs. Partington would say, he had "all
the sensuality knocked out" of him, and lived
on the intellectual plane by means of the short
diet on which he put himself. The fugitive au
thors of New York, however, to whom I now
alludo, are the sudden outcrop of intensely re
spectable literary loafers, who came no one
knows whence, who hang around all weekly
publications, soliciting work or the acceptance
of their stories, and who all lay claim to having
olid reputations and being classed among the
"authors of America." With the exception of
the stage, is there any profession in which there
Is so much self-deception and Intense bitterness
f spirit as in that of the pseudo-literary?
Ali Baba.
Virginia papers report that within less than
eighteen months there have been seven deaths
U one family in that State. Manchester, where
titer resided, is healthy, and all the members of
tiie family died from differont causes. There
are now but two left, and both are sick.
