THE DAILY EVENING rELEQUAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1870. w xj w.y o a g I 8MB. iera Our Otm Correspondent. Nnw York, Jan. 88, 1870. Is li l.lmh a Body 1 This la tho question which Is now aUaUnj the Coroners of this city and Brooklyn. Tho reason is as follows: a human log has boon dis covered In a Brooklyn nun barrel. The Coro ner's foes for an inquest had just been advancod, and It was therefore determined tht the Coro ner's Jury should exercise tholr sedentary pro clivities, and "sit" upon tho limb. Tho foe for suoh Inquest is fifteen dollars, and tho question which naturally presents Itaolf In, Poos a limb con stitute a body ? If so, will not infinite divisibility become tho order of the day with Brooklyn ln qucetfl? If a separate Inquest be hold upon a leg, why not upon a great too or a little finger? If the very hairs of our head are all numbered, surely it is fair to conclude that ono of our members Is just as much worth flfleon dollars to be "sat" upon a anothor. TJho Brooklyn Jury has dhow n a commendable dv. ire to sit npon any portion of a body that is big enough to aecom. mod ate them. Possibly in time tholr natural sagacity may become so refined that from tho contemplation of one wounded limb thoy can construct a consistent and plausible theory of the victim's manner of life and general career, in the same way as Trofessor Agasslz, on bolnjr presented with a single fosslllforous bono, can build therefrom the perfect auatomy of an ex tinct order of animals. In I.ove with a Timnntlo. ' Why did she love him? Curious fool, be still. Is human love the growth of human will?'' I don't know whether there was much genuine love in tho case of Marie Piers, but thore wa at lenst an industrious imitation of it. She "took" to Ilerman Albert, son of a wealthy New York broker, under the ensuing circumstances. Some months ago the young man was immured at Blackwell's Island upon a charge of Insanity, but tho confinement so well agreed with kirn that he was liberated, to the snrprlso of his fami ly and friends, and returned to his father's home In Tenth street, of this city. On the penultimate -day of last October he went out to take a walk, and, to tho dread and apprehension of tho house hold, did not return. lie had in fact been seized with Insanity, and had wandered drlftingly along until he found himself opposite what purported to be a cigar store n Canal street. Hero he was Inveigled by a showy woman, the Mario I ters in question, who is represented to havo plied him with liquor as represented on her private shelf, and loveliness as represented in hor private self. To theso dual arts his weak intellect succumbed, and ho was next taken to the residence of Rev. J. A Foersch, by whom he was married to tho woman in question. He had been married but a few days when he was found wandering about the streets, with the shreds of a happily-begun honeymoon hanging about him in tho shape of his wife's tattered petticoat. This circumstance being accepted as tho undoubted sign of a dis ordered intellect, ho was arrested for the forty seventh time, and sent to his old quarters on the Islaud. Ills "wife" meantime commenced an action against the poor young man's father for having "maliciously deprived her of tho sup port and comfort of her husband," and has fixed the damages at ten thousand dollars. Tho old gentleman, on his side, has taken steps to de clare the marriage void, on the ground of tho lmnacy of ono of tlm contracting parties and the allegod practice of fiaud on tho part of the other. ' Mr Fectater's (Second Kolr. "Upon Wednesday evening Mr. Fochtcr ap peared In the characterof "Captain Henri do l.e gardere," one which which Mr. Wheatley orlgl noil v enacted in this country. Tho ho use was not merely full, It overflowed, aud the applause was of that tumultuous nature which evinces Itself in shouts and whistles. I sat through tho performance from beginning to end, and regret fully say that the more I see of Mr. Fechter the less I see in him to exuberantly admire. If ho presented merely ordinary claims, I should have nothing deprecatory to say; but his appearance In this country was preceded by a pull of the moat enormous description, such as no other foreign artist, not even Rlstorl, ever en joyed. I hope I shall not be misunderstood when I say that Mr. Fechter is suggestive of a Bowery actor of melodrama polished up to the very highest pitch that bis range of abilities is sus ceptlble of. J. he aetlng is perfection npon a certain plane, but the plane is a low one. You may tell me that the character does not allow scope for the actor's genius; but does not genius bubble forth in spite of circumstances? You might as well try to substitute cider for cham pagne, and put lager beer into a Scotch ale bottle, and hope to escape dotectlon, as to Insist that the actor who is pre-eminent in snch parts as "Ruy Bias" and "Henri de Legardore" possesses the first order of histrionic talent. Mr. Fechter will remain only three weeks beyond the present at Nlblo'a, JTarrett & Palmer are not satisfied with him, and I believe be is not satisfied with them. On February 21 he appears in Boston. lie will not play Hamlet during his present engagement, but will probably reserve It for his last card. The New York critics are by no moans uuaulmous ' In tholr opinion, but the gonoral tendency is to pronounce him far beneath what he was "cracked up to bo." The Baby Ball. All day yesterday an interesting spectacle pro senled itself opposite the window at which I generally "take my pen In hand." That specta cle was a bull which weighed the modest amount of thirty-two hundred pounds, and was ono of four beaming strangers hailing from Dutchess county. The "Baby ' was the most minu'e oi the lour, a sort of bovine Commodore Nutt, and was hon ored by being drawn around the city In a private sled. When it reached that somewhat indefi nite space known as "opposite the park," it rested from its labors, and became the prey of the loiterers In that neighborhood. The entire four are to be slaughtered and to have their skins presented to the Central Park Commissioners. I ; . , ' . ' Ali Baba. NEW YORK'S FRENCH BALL. Hptlmsar la Bp.ngirs and Integrity la : Tlshw Terpulohore Masked and L'nnionked la aad Out or Domino. from Our Own Correspondent. Nhw Yoke, Jan. 27, 1870, In some respects the ball of the Cercle Fran cats de i'narmonle, which was given last night at the Academy of Music, deserves to be called the most successful of the season. The dresses were as rich and the guests were as numerous ai those which have glorified any of the recent assemblies, ana tne prevailing , spirit was as genial as that of the Opera Bouffe ball, without degenerating from extreme sensuousuess into downright sensuality. Borne few of the dresses were, perhaps, a trifle too deoolletlee above the 'waist as well as the neck, and the amount of leg displayed was probably a trifle in advance of what would be approved of by anybody but a missionary to whom ahorlrfaal nndltr had become a second nature. Altogether the ball may be laid to have boon a not immoral one. The spangles that were present were compara tively ppotloas. "Goodness," according to Milton, may be "awful," but Integrity Is some- tltnr s bewitching. It was last night In tights I "W bat a perfect paradise It Is I" a young girl exclaimed in my c.ir. "Yos Paradise Lost," was the reply. All I could think was that If a lot paradise looked so pleasurable It must bo worth regaining. Let me say a few words about the "Corele" itself. It Is a society composed of about one hundred members, who hare well-appointed club-rooms, and who are bound by an oath to administer to one another's pleasure by as many means as they legitimately and innocently may. Many times during the year they meet at these rooms and transact a great deal of pleasure in a short space of time. They are mostly tronlo- natured beings, in whose veins the blood is warm and rapid, aad who enjoy life nono tho less for using unusual means. Once a year they give a grand ball, and during that celebration the morals of New York grow, for the time, as tangent to those of Paris as they can become without cflloresclng into morbid exuboranee. The club had secured two now features for last night's ball. Ono of those was the bur lesque quadrille of Ko-ko-rl-ko, an extravagant Improvisation due to the brain of Brldidl, and Invented for the behoof of the Parlilan bal d'vpera. Anothor was "Los groupes carna valesquos et les fantasies Parlslennes de creso panpoplvas." Neither of theso had ever been introduced into this country before. They were . exceedingly well done by the Clodoche troupe, the idea being the representation of cocks and bens both In the crow and cackle peculiar to those "anlmlles," and in the impressive steps they are fond of leaving upon tho sands of time. A third feature of Wednesday evening's ball waft the mutual geniality with which the soxes wore one another's dresses, and converted them selves into haloed hybrldltloa in regard to whom it was difficult to say which was which. I am not the only man who confesses to having bcon completely misled by tho questionable curves of a small knee and a beautiful log. . One beaming nondescript of this kind, who ultimately con fessed to having got itself up for a "lark," at tracted my attention a littlo before midnight. Its exquisite "continuations" were so delicious in their flesh-colored coverings, that they were as absorbing as ono of Wilklo Collins' novels, and I could have watched them being continued, and turned over chapter after chapter of them (so to speak), through all eternity. The upper por tion of its person was modestly robed in pale blue silk, richly aud delicately hung with silver fringe. This fair masquer I approached. Wo danced together, we senti mentalized. Its voice was as soft as a flute's, and its accents as rapid as thoso produced by the process known as tho "triple tongue." At longth I asked it if it would give mo the pleasure of its company to supper. It assented, and we ap proached the suppor-room, its blonde curls trem bling airily at every step. At the door of the supper-room it paused, laid Us hand on my arm, and said in a clear tenor, "This Joke's gone far cnoui;!. ; Tin uota woman;" and raising its mask, it m eaicd handsome but decldodly masculine lineaments belonging to an extremely well-bred but certainly precocious adolescent. That was the last mask I attempted to attach myself to that evening. We had a drink to gether, but tho invitation to supper was not re peated. As a set-olf to this, an extremely handsome girl, dressed in the full evening costume ap proved of for gentlemen, might be seen at all hours, from 10 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock In tho morning, walking around, always alone, but always followed by a crowd of young men, who, somehow or other, novor attoinpted any extreme liberties. Tho music was remarkably goo 3. Thomas' orchestra was stationed in tho topmost gallery, and rained down musical pitchforks. You might have put an umbrella up, but your tym panum would have been wet through all the same. If anything the music was too good for the occasion, and there certainly was more than enough of it. The ball was thoroughly warmed up by midnight, and the last carriages rolled away from the Academy about 4 o'clock in the morning. . TUB REFORMED WOMEN. Wh havo no doubt that the woman's rightists have their use in the world, and although they do not make a great doal of headway in the work of converting those of the sex particularly interested, it is possible that they may succeed In illuminating society with a few valuable idoas. We never have understood, however, why the advocates of women's rights should insist upon women becoming as near like men as possible in dress and behavior. It may be moroly a pre judice, but if it Is tho prejudice runs back a good many hundreds ot years, and it is very deep down in tho foundations of human society, that the two sexes should wear distinct stylos of dross. A woman in breeches Is quite as pitiable an object as a man in petticoats, and women as well as men who are not bitten by some crazy notions of reforming society out of hand, are disgusted with tho one quite as much as with the other. If some crack-brained specimen of the male gender, who imagined that he had a mission to perform in establishing tho affairs of society on a new basis, were to got a notion into his head that the present ugly black coat, uglier pantaloons, and totally irrational and inartistic 'belteczcr" of masculine wear in the year of grace eighteen hundred and seventy, were Inap propriate and totally opposed to the spirit of en lightenment that ought to characterize this ago and country, and should conclude that a "re form costume" of petticoats was what was re quired, and he should make an exhibition of himself in the thoroughfares of a great city, the prol nihilities are that he would attract the atten tion of a curious crowd, and he might get him self uoticed in the columns of the newspapers In a stylo other than that of extreme compli ment. We are always disposed to treat the gentler sex we hope the persons to whom those re marks are particularly addressed will forglvo the epithet even when in error, with greater consideration than we would care to bestow upon a male animal of the genus homo, when he makes a fool of blmsolf In public. But when women dress themselves in male attire and promenade C'besnut street, they must expect that the curious crowd will pay them some attentions and that the newspapers will have something to say about them in the way of criticism. If such persons cannot brave criticism, they should not make exhibitions of themselves in public. On Saturday last we had occasion to comment upon the appearance of some female students from Florence, ' N. J., who visited - this city for the purposo 'of attending a clinic, and, we presume, to give the benighted women of Philadelphia an opportunity to study the advantages and beau ties of tho "reform" costume. We doubt not that those women are Inspired by the very hlgbost motives and tho purest intentions; but why, In the name of all the graces that are supposed to wait on tho feminine toilet, did they think it necessary to choose a dress that Is made up of tho ugliest features of the male attire, and that is rendered doubly hideous by those physiological pecu liarities of the female form that, however attrac tive whed set off by flowing Bkirts, are anything but fascinating when revealed by ' breeches ? Did theso women, in the seclusion of their retreat at Florence, beguile themselves into the notion tbat tho world had boguu to advanoe towards tholr position ? or that they had at least made such an impression on society that they could appear in public without at tracting remark ? We caa assure them that, whatever the bygeulc inconvonionces of the pro sent female fashions in dross may be, the sex fominine are the first to repudiate the reform coetumo of the Florence Holghts doc tresses, aud that thoy will repudiate any attempts at reform in which the chief characteristic is hldoousncss. It seems tbat our remarks on Saturday gave offense to some of the reformers, and we find in the columns of one of our contemporaries tho following communication on the subject. We can assure the writer of this dooument that we are always ready to open our columns to any pro per explanations from persons whom we may have occasion to criticize, and the advocates of the "reform" dress can have as fair a chance to present their cause to tho public In Tub Tdi.r- Gkapii as in any other paper published. There was no necessity for firing a side shot at us in this Instance through the columns ot the Prist, as tho writer iuBinuatos, and we recommend her in the future, if she has any complaint to make against us, to address her remarks diroctly to us. To prove bur sincerity in this matter we give space to the communication referred to: To the Editor of the Prw Sir I ask respaotf ally a place in your columns to explain tne oocad.m aud motives which luduoed soma twenty or the women BLudents or the iiyeglenlo Medical College to visit rnuaaeipnia last naiuraay, ana wnoso presence caused some or your city papers, especially Thb Tklkgkai'H and liuUttin, to speak or tsem In lan guage nnwon.ny or any respectable publio journal, I should address this communication to tliom instead or to you; but much experieice has taught me that editors who can tret women against whose lives, characters, and motives no word or reproach can bo truthfullv al- 1' ged, with such lndeeency of language aod vul garity of spirit, would never allow the other side t be seen by ihelr readers, for it Is only the more p ogresaive aud intelligent or tho newspaper press that can cither appiwlu.e the position or these wo men aud tho oaiihe lu which they are engaged, or tuuiutu ira any uiHpiiHuiuu u no mem justice.

The dress they wear does answer perfectly all or these purposes. It Is not yet fashionable; It may never become so. But ir these women llnd It conducive to health, comfort, and useful, why cxiinnt they be permitted to wear It lu the streets of Philadelphia in peace, as they do In many other places?

As to the "legs," concerning woicn tne uv.iif.im ana TKi.BOaA.ru are so obscenely eloquent, they are covered uy stockings, arawers, pantaloons, and in some cases, boots very much as men dress their lower extremities. Is there any immodesty or impropriety in women dressing their "legs" so as to protect them from cold and exposure t It seems to them and to me that the immodesty and Impropriety con sist in exposing them to the inclemency or the weather and to the gaze or whom it may concern.
