THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1870. 5 17 U WTOOX CMS. From Our Oicn Corrtpond?nL Nbw Toai, Aug. 11, 1370. Ileat and Henlth. Because there is so epidemic in the city, the majority of citizens imagine that, taking Into Consideration the Intense and long-protracted he it of i he weather, New York is remarkably healthy. In view of that consideration it may Indeed b? remarkable that New Tork has not teen visited by an epidemic; but, apart from the loga ur absence of any visitation of that sort, this ciiy has not enjoyed an extraordinary amount of health. The death columns in the newspapers are unusually long, and metropolitan filth, festering in the inflammations of the sun, lias generated a number of dreadful diseases which are peculiar to that cause. One of tn.He diseases is the relapsing fever, which is upon the increase. During the week which ended last Saturday there were no less than thirty-five cases of this disease. The cases of mall-pox were comparatively few, only six having been reported as occurring w ihln the same dates as those between which the cases of relapsing fever occurred. In New Tork the average death rate at present is twelve hundred per week, or abou t three times as large as it usually is at this season. The presence of yellow fever, also, in Philadelphia does not add to our lecling of security. I do not know that our quarantine regulations are enforced any better tbnn yours are. But whether or not we ont nue to be altogether exempt from yellow fever, it is certain that the long-lasting dirti ness of our streets gives us no guarantee, so long as the hot weather last?, that the public health will grow better and the death rate exhibit a tendency to decreaee. The street-cleaning au thorities have lately voted themselves an in crease of pay, and therefore cannot bo expected to care much whether or not their duties are hchared. The Champion Dutch'Ameriran Dramatist. Mr. Charles Gayler is a successful dramatic c.arj enter. Ilia intellectual tool-chest has been pretty constantly at work during the past thirty years, and he has done a good deal of very suc cessful sawing, planing, and chiselling of a dramatic nature, lie possesses at least one merit which writers for the stage attain only after long experience, namely, a real or a well pretended indifference to newspaper theatrical criticism. No one knows better than he does (except Mr. Brougham, who, from being so per fect in It himself, has a thorough appreciation of i hat grade of work) that his plays are trash. He is profoundly aware of that interesting fact, and the ingenuousness with which he admits his conviction of it is one of the most refreshing phenomena to be encountered in the history of modern dramatic carpentry. But the trash is good after its kind a first-class specimen cf a last-class thing. That utterly silly and worth less Dutch-Aiaerican monster, "Fritz," the latest coinage from the bullion of his brain, has been 6hoved upon the American public for the last nine months, and engagements have already been made to continue the shoving for fifteen consecutive months longer. Ilia success is creditable to Mr. Gayler's discernment of the fact that there are enough asses among the iheatre going public to make the writing of worthless plays a very protitable employment. Hi therefore adapts his literary fodder to the digestion of that largo proportion of the public, and turrouuds them with sounds and sights Buited to the length of their ears and the short ness of their vision. For more than a year to come he aud Mr. Emmet have made engage ments at various theatres East, West, and South with the understanding that nothing but "Fritz" is to be played by him. About one year ago Mr. Emmet was a popular music-hall per former of Dutch specialties. Mr. Gayler thought he 6a w in him an aptitude that would show to better advantage elsewhere than on a music hall stage. Hence Fritz one of the most popu lar, one of the most "paying," and one of the trashiest plays that ever disgraced American theatrical literature. Mr. Gayler, who is a right good, whole-souled fellow, and absolutely inca pable of taking offense at any criticism, how ever harsh, provided It is not malignant, knows as well as I do that is a statement of the fact. But by writing such plays he puts money in his purse, and that contents him. It is a pity it should be so. It is a greater pity to be obliged to believe that nine-tenths of the critics who abuse him would follow precisely in his wake if tnc had the opportunity. A New Case for Mr. Dunphy. Vr. Thomas Dunphy is a prominent member Of the New York bar, and, in conjunction with Mr. T. J. Cummins, of the New York press, is the au thor of a recent book published by Dlossy & Co., of this clty.and entitled "Remarkable Trials in All Countries." Of course the next edition of the volume will include an account of the Nathan murder trial; but there is one amusing incident connected therewith which Mr. Dunphy will scarcely care to name. That incident is his own arrest, which took place in Brooklyn, on Tues day evening, on the charge of having committed the murder. The arrest took place as Mr. Dun phy was walking along one of the streets of Brooklyn, and is supposed to have been made at the iuhtigatlon of some one anxious to play upon Mr. Dunphy a practical joke. Perhaps it was made at the instance of some spite ful client who imagined that Mr. Dun phy had neglected his interests, and who accordingly was waiting to "serve him out. ' At any rate Mr. Dunphy, who was pointed out as a Mr. Gilbert of dreadful reputation, was arrested by an officer of more zeal than prudence, and was borne in triumph to the Brooklyn Police Headquarters. Thence he was victoriously conveyed to Superintendent Jour dan's official sanctum in this city. The Super intendent was not there, and the remorseless oliicer therefore took Mr. Dunphy, at dead of night, to the Superintendent's residence, No, lw Prince street. The Superintendent was not at home. The rain was coming down in torrents, and the officer pulled the tongne of the bell nearly out of the throat of the house (attribute the violent fignrativeness of my language to the excitement of my feelings) in his repeated appeals to the inmates. In this predicament policeman and captive remained until 4 o'clock in the morning, when Mr, Dunphy (who probably pleaded, in a certain sense, with quite as much eloquence as he ever did in court) prevailed upon the officer to take him back to police headquarters and procure him shelter until a reasonable hour. When, at la6t, the full light of morning broke upoa Mr. Dunphy it found him soaked to the skin, and etill guarded by the faithful functionary, who felt certain of coming into the possession of the $47,000 that had been ottered for the arrest of Mr. Nathan's murderer. In one moment that -1 ji. . J ..... 1 1 .... T . . J . ureuui was uifsipuieu. uupcnuwuucuv uuuiuuu ordered the discharge of the prisoner, and the Brooklyn policeman, with disconsolate step returned to hla melancholy teat. An Bui. city rrisnif.
