Feb. 2, 187a T-"- Ynrk I'nrn. nc of the beanl'iei of riding in Now York rr In that yon are never aura of putini; a neat. Wherever you ir.o there Is a crowd, This is par ticularly true of the Third and Fourth avenue tinea. There is positively no mieh thing as got t ting a teat there unices yon got in at either ter minus. Betwe.cn tbein, you sUnd no. chance at "all; and in the cars of the Third avenue espe cially thccJsse of passengers IS worse than those which of old times in Philadelphia used to fill the Second street suites. In tlx) first place, the cushions are abominably dirty and smell like garden ful of dead meat. The passengers are mainly composed of artisans in the lower ranks of labor, siekly-looklng manufactory girls, with complexions un healthily bleached by the atmosphere of the prisons In which they have been breathing; ' saviors whose bands are caked with clay, and whose nails are lnch-dccp with extremely dirty , dirt; flshwomcn with the scales of their profes sion thick upon them, and bloated with a pisca torial flabbinese that Is fragrant but not felici tous; coal-heavers from whose matted locks a pray of coal dnst is shaken with every motion f the car. Oh, those Third avenno cars are weet enough places to ride in, even when you are Incky enough to find a scat; what must they be when, as in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, you are obliged to stand ? And wouldn't it be a healthy law that should forbid conductors taking fare from any passenger whom he was unable to furnish with a seal ? The present system is tibial torture, and how the man or woman of many corns stands It is more than I can tell. Tbe "Twelve Temptation" Bojs. A day or two ago the business agent of the Grand Opera House got out a very neat dodge In the way of advertising. Ho quietly looked around for and procured the services of sixteen pood-looking young fellows, between fifteen and twenty years of ago, and attired them sumptu ously In crimson and gold. He transmogrified them so completely that they were a pleasure to look at very different from those flaunting scalawags in long shirts and many-colored rib hons who parade Broadway with brazen turbans on their heads, announcing various. wares. They were all young; they were all good-looking, sound in mind and limb, shapely of person, and very picturesquely attired. Each carried a ban ner, and on each banner was inscribed The Twite Temptations. In this style they paraded Broadway, eight on one side and eight on the other, attracting general observation and comment. The light air of the frosty morning was a fitting medium for their tinsel and gaudy colors to gleam through, and the youngsters evidently enjoyed the fun as much as any of the observers, when suddenly they were brought to a standstill by the stentorian voice of one of the Broadway squad, who arrested them then and there and carted them off .to the Tombs. They had com mitted the crime of doing their duty, and of doing it in an exceedingly creditable manner, for it was no easy thing, in- the face of the wind that was blowing, to maintain the broad adver tising banners in an upright position. Alder man Miller, however, who happened for the moment to be supplying Judge Dowling's place, comprehending the facts at a glance, dismissed the case, and yesterday Mr. Page's sixteen Ticelve Temptation boys were triumphantly parading Gotham's principal street. '..' . . Gone Up Two HI ore at Them. Among theatres an epidemic of gone-nped-ness'secma imminent. Opera bouffo burst only the other day. Since then the Tammany has breathed its last, and Italian opera has passed away to glory. Profound mystery enshrouds every one of these deaths. Mr. Grau allowed himself to be interviewed and sought to cover his deficit by glib statements to a friendly World reporter. Max Maretzek publishes a card, say ing that the reason he brings his season to so abrupt a close is that Garlotta Patti's recent illncts prevents her keeping her engagement with. him... The Tammany is prudently silent, apd conceals its Ignominy under the blare of a complimentary benefit to its business agent, Mt. Morton. Maretzek has already bad ne or two "unpleasantnesses" (that's the euphemism) with his tenori and prime donne. After such splendid sing ing and acting as Lefranc gave us, and such sweet and graceful vocalization as that of Kel logg, it is a shame that they should be swindled ut of their stamps. I presume that Maretzek will go hack to making bricks. What's the "hods" to him? He has done opera a la mort; now let him do it a la mortar. With respect to Tammany I have only my regrets to offer that Mr. Leonard Grover, a gentleman possessed of so decided a genius for spending money, should mot be equally talented in acquiring it. When ever I used to see him he was the very ideal of a flushed man who enjoyed life. He accumulated flesh and felicity simultaneously; the assimila tive qualities of soul and body seemed to be equally proportioned. I hope he will bo suc cessful elsewhere. Why don't he take hold of the Chcsnut Street Theatre? -'.- The Fat Men have toot increased the respect in which they were held by the ball they gave on Thursday evening. It was as largely attended as the first affair was, but not by any means so re spectable. Its respectability was jeopardized y the presence of a bully named T. J. Coe, who is said to run a bar on Broadway, and to cherish a deep feeling of resentment against any one connected with the press. Ho com mitted an assault upon one journalist, and suc ceeded in throwing him downstairs. The door keeper of the ball (which was held at Irving Hall) was as bad in , his way as the barkeeper was, presenting a bloated (what in figurative language is called ''bloody") appearance, and appearing to coneldcr every averaxe sUe guest a first-class burglar, brought into being for his especial disgust. These little circumstances have. done a goo,d deal towards inducing the public to regard the Fat Men and their public receptions with profound aversion. What, quotha ! Is it that an increase of flesh it In compatible with maintaining the feelings of i gentleman ? Most I be1 less Chesterfleldiun than ny fellow-creatures because I am more chunky ? Sari ant's fat woman forbid! The Latest Bogus Bnreta. The Earon (or the Count) Von Bulow is at present in Elisabeth jull, where he . is in Im prisonment nnder various charges inconsistent with tbe character of a f-tiiUcinan. But the .aestlon which agitates his former friends is, whether after all he may not be a gennlne baron? Sis plausibility has secured him a large number of friends among the yenng of both sexes, con nected in Bsany case with wealthy and Influential ladllies, and the probability is Ut enough in terest will he felt in hlui to effac. his release. .. ' .'! (.ill -V-- 1 '- 0 A BABA.'' 1 THE CADETSnirS. II kiolre Btlrr's Hot Juke Vat ta Want i'aint. A Washington correspondent writes:- The capital w greatly agitated jnst now on the question of the sale of codetflhipn. Mem bers were never more retioent. ' It is Mmnoh M yon can do to get a civil answer from them, and any alloriion )to the subject now upper most in all roindH brings yon in such a har vest of withering looks, of scorching glanoos, that if yon. had asked the Resident of the Wafibington Temperance Society to take a social glass, the effect conld not have, been more startling. The gentlemen composing the investigating committee ara shunned by the representatives of the nation as if they carried Borne fatal contagion with them, and it's common to hear along the street, an any of them passes, such mysterious remarks as, -"There he goes." "He knows all abont it." "Catch any foxes to-day, old boy?" "Who got the last pig by the ear?" and other kindred and equally civil observations. I have just learned that llepresentatives Fin nigan and Fuddle are to be brought before the committee upon suspicion of having grati fied two aunts with the appointment of their nephews at $300 a head. I know Fuddle well, and struck him this evening in a favorable frame of mind, just after dinner. . "Fuddle, they say yon are in for it." "They say be d -d I Don't know anything about it." "Can't help that, old boy; statements have coma before the committee implicating you, and they're bound to see the matter through." "You don't soy sol" exclaimed Fuddle, slightly alarmed and disposed to be a little more communicative. "Fact saw the documents myself." Under ordinary circumstances Fuddle is a cool man. I have seen him stand np to But ler and take a hot-water shower-bath of Bnt lerian invective with no more sign of shrink ing than if he had been a rhinoceros; but I must say that upon this occasion Fuddle's legs forgot their duty, and he developed symptoms of being knock-kneed that I never before suspected. We withdrew from the gaze of passing worldlings, took something to disguise our agitation, and then Fuddle made a clean breast of it to me confidentially; and, although the committee have suspicions . that I know all abont Fuddle's case, they have not yet ventured to subpoena me. This really virtta- ous and upright member explained his case thus: "Yon see there was two on 'em wanted it. I'd knowed Sally Jones since she was a little gal. She never married, did Sally. She never had nothin' of her own to love; but when Sally's sister married and had a little boy, I took an oath I'd do for him one day or tother. I was up for Congress in Squire Bilor's district, and the Squire went for me, supposin' I'd go for Squires boy Jake for West Pint. It was sort o' this way. The Squire came to me, and says he shaking a $.ri00 greenback in his fist 'Fud,' says he, 'taters is riz, and no is Hour, And times is d d bard. There's my boy Jake, a likely lad, as 'ell make a good soger, and you're goin' to Congress, Fud, and have the 'pintin' of a feller to the Milertary Sehnle. Coal's f$!) a ton, specie payments is no nearer than never, and there's Mrs. Fuddle, as hasn't had no new dresses, and the little Fuddles, as wants schilling,' and the Squire wiped his nose with the rive hundred dollar greenback, and then licked it into an envelope, meanin the same to go to Mrs. Fuddle. The tears come to my eyes so that I couldn't see what I was a coin, but when Inn indole got to Congress, Squire Biler's boy Jake went to West Pint." DOWN SOUTH. General Forrest A Near Prencher'a Bxbortn- tlou swludllnK the Blacks Hoarding t.oin. A friend who has just returned from a few weeks' pleasure tour through Georgia, Mis sissippi, and Alabama, tells me that while at Selma he spent several hours with Forrest, of Fort Pillow notoriety. The latter declared that he was the worst maligned man living. He said some of the negroes at Fort Pillow were probably massacred, but it was not in accordance either with his order or wishes. A great many Confederates believed at that time that there ought to be some such mas sacre, in order to fire the Southern heart afresh. Such, however, were not his views. General Forrest further remarked that he was President of a railroad, and doing well. He was satisfied with the turn an airs were taking, believing that the white race would in time recover their proper relations with the blacks. While at Selma my friend attended service one Sunday morning. The preacher soundly berated some of the congregation for not having voted, or for having voted the Demo cratic ticket, at the recent Alabama election. He assured them that unless they (the blaoks) stuck close to their friends, the Kepublicans, the Democrats would get into power again and restore them all to a condition of slavery, At this a perfect howl went np from both the brethren and sisters. Further along in his discourse the preacher, in describing how sin ners would go to hell, said: "You will rush headlong down the precipice, as I Baw a driver being run away with by two mules, the other day, and they were the looking mules you ever saw!" Before the war Atlanta had but five or six thousand people. Now the population borders close on thirty thousand. The Jew element has been steadily increasing. My friend thinks many of the Jews are attracted thither by the opportunities offered for imposing npon the blocks. A few days before his ar rival there the acquaintance he visited was called upon by a negro for information. The negro could not read, and wanted him to see if a receipt bill, given him by a Jew merchant, was right. After paying it, he, the negro, thought it did not leave him as much money as he ought to have. On looking at the bill the Atlanta gentleman discovered that the Jew had added in the acoount the figures of the year, viz., 1870, which were at the head of the bill. He immediately accompanied the negro to the store, when the Jew owner expressed himself as "very sorry at making the mistake," paid back the $1870, and gave him a new bill. Both the whites and blacks, particularly the latter, are given to turning everything into gold, and hoarding it away. Consequently brokers who have located themselves at Selma, Aberdeen, Macon, Atlanta, and other points, make a good thing or supplying them aoi nnirequenuy iney cuarge me negro five, ten, and even fifteen cents more for gold than the market pnec. And then when ever the whites or blacks nave any gold to sell they will not allow ' them for it within several cents of the market value. Jr. Y. (Jvrrtsfvndtntt Clticago Journal, i i -a A contemnorarv very cutely observes: "A curious fact in connection with the criminal statistics of New York is. that men arc moBt apt in commit offenses aculnit the law between the the acres of twenty and thirty.? The reason for t is that they have sense enough to postpone such acts until they re-tcn the years of dis cretion. ,. . . . Hi . . . , . , Incllntitl. , -John Neal says that out of IVM Pases brought before the Superior Court of Maine In six terras, only 09 went to a jury. That Is, tbe pcoplo preferred tbo decision of a judge In 405 cases. ' There Is a boy in Vermont who has eleven grandparents, and lie proposes to give a party for them exclusively one of these days, although his five uncles nnd aunts, his thirty groat uncles and aunts, Ms twcnty-slx great great uncles and annts, and his forty second cousins may feel slighted. What do the Democratic papers of Oregon mean by such things? They are positively urg ing the State Convention to nominate a candi date for United 8tatcs Senator "In order to pre vent any misunderstanding or chicanery in the Legislature." Think of tho Pennsylvania Legis lature electing Cameron "to prevent chicanery," and don't do it. Somebody has revived this anecdote about John 1'hn nlx: Ho once hailed a German who was driving a baker's wagon on Montgomery street, 8an Francisco, with, "Hullo! Ml take one." "Vat you takes?" said tho Teuton, pull ing np. "A baked eagle," said Phrcnlx, point ing to "Eagle Bakery" painted on the wagon. Among tbo packages bid off at an auction sale of express packages in Hartford, last week, was a lot of love letters written by a young lady who, having married, requested her old lover to return than. The purchaser is heartlessly giving a series of evening readings from them at his boarding house. It Is said an orchltect recently began tbo erection of a church near Troy, the agreement being that he should be paid upon the comple tion of the edifice, and that tho wardens have now concluded, for some unexplained reason, not to rrcct the spire contemplated in the origi nal plan. How to get the money is now the architect's dally study. The Albany Express Is too hard upon the French Premier when it says that "Olllvler's disposition of the prefects confirms the popular Impression as to tbe shifting, vacillating, sub servient character of his Government.'' This world Is all a fleeting show, nnd accordingly "shifting" is the natural order of things. A leipslc paper recently printed this notice under tho head of Deaths: "To-day death tore away from us for the third time our only child, etc. L. A. V. and Frau," Another German pa per had this announcement: wSrU's'3J ''Lnst night at half-past three, God took to himself, (luring a visit to the grandparents, our only little (laughter Antonle ol teething, School-teacher S. and Fran." A Boston lecturer recently said that Ameri can society, looking to Judea'for its inspiration, to Paris for its fashions, to England for Its en dorsement, aud to tho unkuown futnro for Its objects, bus had a great want of substantial en joyment.
