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.

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.

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.

Borrowers on prime collaterals were freelv accom
