THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MAY- 17, 1870. 5 XT 3D W-TORRI S 3MZ S. Prom Our Own Oorretponamt. Nbw York, Mar 17, 1870. The "SpiMtna" af Com ml Park. Go to Central Park of a Sunday Bight If yon wish to fee happy lore In low j life. When you lose sight ot the hundred lights of the Garden Concert, you might easily imagine yourself fifty miles away from everywhere, rambling through a moonlit Arcadia dedicated to the working people. At such an hour Central Park is the poor man's paradise. It abounds in green secluded alcoves where fragrant leaves embower, and balmy waters roll, and bashf illness becomes eloquent and poetic, and the emotion between sweetheart and lover finds a rhyme for itself In the beauty and Mlonco of the hour. There is not a EoliUry nook which is not thus divinely niched with Kate and Thomas, or Biddy and Patrick. Let us hope there are few Juans and Julias among these humble lovers. Of all the nights in the week, Sunday. night at Cen tral Park is a heavenly time for "spoons." You sec them beneath the trees, along the bridges, in the boats, beside the lake, down the alleys, above the rocks, and. all over. Every other class unites at other times in usurp ing these precincts, but on Sunday evening the park is understood to be set apart for the occu pation of lovers of low degree. To slug their praises aright a newspaper Boccaccio would be required. You hear the car-bells of the various avenues tinkling faintly in the distance, but poetic fancy transmutes them into the sound of cattle-bells. The lights and music from the garden concert come in weeps and flushes, but tbiy ecm like fairy unrealities disasso ciated from laer-bier and refreshment lu gene ral. The world seems made for love, and oar hewers of wood and drawers of water seem to have the best right to it. lasantty a a Crlme-Caverer. Insanity covers more ttlns than even charily did. The Insanity ascribed to criminals is the charity of the nineteenth century. Not to refer to a recent case that will be in every one's mind, witness that of a' suicide which took place a day or two ago at Long Island, where the self murderer tied his legs together and managed omehow to fetter his arms, and then flung him self into a wheel-race. And cases as bad as this are occurring around us everyday. But when the insane man, instead of taking his own life takes that of another, there is some show of reason in the petition that has been got up by a number of women in this city, praying Governor Hoffman that one McFarland may be impri soned in a lunatic asylum, in order that citizens may be protected from him. Of course, these wtmen are the gritty-naturcd Amazons, the women of the sterner sex who have already done bo much gabbling and bo little good. But if they succeed in confining this fellow, many will be the women of the softer sex who wlil rise up and call them blcssod. I, amp-post Law. In this city It is not theft to appropriate news paptrs one finds on the outside of lamp-post boxes. A case of this kind, where a Chinaman helped himself to some newspapers that were thus lying loose, has just been decided by a court in this city. Not being inside the boxes, they . were not considered to be in the custody of the , United States. The general public appears to labor under the delusion that so long as news papers and letters touch a lamp-post box they are as good as delivered, and I have been much edified and interested in observing the sweet and lambent confidence which old ladies sometimes evince in human nature by depositing outside the box unstamped letters, accompanied by ' three pennies to defray the postage. Mr. Htocktan' Plav. Mr. J. D. Stockton's delightful comedy of Fox vs. Goose was presented last evening for the first time at Mr. Booth's Theatre, Mr. Clarke taking the part of "Jack Gosling." The comedy, as Philadelphlans have reason to know, is written in Mr. Stockton's most spirited and sparkling vein, and furnished the genius of Mr. Clarke with the opportunity for displaying Itself in the rarest and most genial phases 01 humor. It was attended by one of the largest and most cultured audiences of the season, who were evidently attracted by that important event, the production by a genuine American actor of a genuine American play, written ex pressly for him by a genuine American fiuthor. Very soon Mrs. Waller, who is to next season fill the position now occupied by Miss Morant, will appear in a "grand romantic play." In some characters Mrs. Waller is an effective and ' beautiful actress, but when she rants, as she too often does, her voice is painfully ragged. It sounds as though it had been hung on n clothes . line in a hail-storm and the pegs had blown , away. Exll "Mawwarm." The Rev. Charles B. Smythe had no weeping eyes to wipe when he bade farewell on Sunday to his congregation in the Eleventh Street Pres- , byterian Church. Although there was more sorrow than anger in his look, he did not melt, but sternly reminded his parishioners that they would remember what they had done and be ; sorry for it when it was too late. I have no disposition to join with those narrow-minded cynics who gloat over the fallings of ministers of the Gospel; but there is a ludicrous as well as a sorrowful side to the subject, and Mr. 8oiythe's cheek in defending his conduct de prives him of all the sympathy which would otherwise be held In reserve for him. Now that he It relieved from clerical duties, there is no reason why he should not prepare a new libretto for The Black Crook, which they say is to be revived. Like "Mawworm," he "likes to be despised." 8uadav Readloc-Reoma. The question whether the reading-room of the Mercantile Library shall be opened on Sun day. Is beginning to be agitated again, and a meeting will be held to-nlgbt for the purpose of deciding it. Is it any worse for a poor man or woman to ait and read in a public place on the Sabbath than for a rich man to sit and read In his own library ? After all, the question tapers down to that. Among the directors of that library is a reform party, which is in favor of having the room open, but they will probably have a bard fight with the opposition. Tha Cavalry Paraan. The country parson Is in town. You cannot ' thread a thoroughfare or an intersecting by street without encountering the black suit, the black kid gloves, and the white tie of the rural clergyman who has come to join In the May anniversaries. Be has brought his best sermons with hla beet clothes, and has polished his boou and bis brains for the oceaslon.

A Baaae Indiana Dlvarea tfaaat. A divorce case of more than ordinary interest. and which has attracted the sympathy of a large circle in this city, has but recently been decided In Indiana. Mrs. Martha Laflltte Johnson wax astonished some months ago by receiving a notiacation that herbvsband, Mr. William It A. Johnson, had ob tained a divorce from her on the false allegation of her desertion. She had received no notice of such proceedings, therefore had no opportunity to vindi cate her rights. Her counsel, Mr. George Northrop, however, immediately proceeded to Indiana, and there obtained proofs that false witnesses had beon procured to accomplish the outrage. He opared no trouble in establishing before the courts such proofs of the Infamy of the prosecution, that against all precedents In such cases in Indiana, a new trial wan granted to Mr. Johnson, and a decree made In her favor, with alimony and the excltniveTcontrol of her child. Thus Justice has been accorded to an Injured lady who had the conrage to olalm her rights even from an Indiana tribunal. ir it is painiui to record nut too frequently the thamcfiil proceedings of lawyers, so stvled. who dis- J:ra e their profession bv tampering with law and ustice, it is gratifying also to notice the noble and. we win ann, surcessiui exertions or one of our pro minent members of tbo Philadelphia bar, who, in presence of so man? obstacles, did not hesitate to seek for and obtain Justice, In defiance of malignity and falsehood.
