Philadelphians, I am jroinjr to tell you a truth
kt will be unpleasant to you: but I do not care
f that bo long as the truth Is ou my side. That
1th is this you undervalue our Central Park,
d yau unjustly accuse us of overvaluing it.
you ask us what especial reasons we have to
BO proud of it. and to continually invito
breto the admiration of the world, I answer
kt these reasons are that a few years ago it
is the 6quatter's paradise, a waste of rocks
tted with innumerable huts where crime,
Yerty, disease, and general wretchedness made
t. The task of building a park there was
most as hopeless as the task of overrunning
,hara with oases would be. And yet the mlra
t was done, and done, so to epeik,
t a moment. The beauties of a
irad;.sc were built over the distortions of a hell,
,d the warm greenness of leaf and blossom
ncealed the cold nakedness of stones. And
,11 the work goes on. I defy you to visit Cen-
II Park that great play-ground for the rich
id poor alike of New York without flading
me work of improvement going on. Ia view
tab fact it is interesting to know that the
tal cost of Central Park, including the original
W of the ground, is nearly eleven raHlion
Jllars. Last year's interest on the cost of the
ud, and on the improvement of the Park, was
jarly tfiriO.OOO. During last year, also, the total
imber of pedestrians entering the Park was
iarly 3,300,000, cquerluns 5500, vehicles
341,000, and velocipedes 8300. The total num
irof visitors during the year is calculated at
f.51,000, or an average of neurlj 20,140 per
ly. This is doing a pretty good business.
! White HnU la (be old Koem.
Biokers arc queer people especially young
,'okers. A scandalous tradition ascribes to
icm men a persistency in making money as
aves them no time or disposition to cultivate
te tender charities of the heart. Occasionally,
Dwever, some of those caprices which are genc
illy thought to be significant of good-hearted-ess
crop out, and prove that the hard-headed
r6kcr has something of the boy in him yet.
fitness, for instance, the white hat furore of
ouday. The demonstration was absolutely
oy'ifrh, and had something of the arllcssucss of
dolesccnce in it if adolescence may ever, with
ustice, be imagined artless. On Saturday a
lOtice was posted up in the Gold Iloom to the
iffect that, after the 25th of September, all white
oats found in the Board Room would be consi
dered contraband of war, and would be treated
accordingly. This absurd caprice was laughed
at as a childish joke, and was forgotten. Sun
day intervened, and on Monday as many white
, hats a? over made their appearance. They were
j allowed to be unmolested until late in the day,
when most of the bubincss had been transacted.
At last, when matters had slackened consider
ably, the chairman of the sub-committee, by
whose order the notice had been hung up in the
Gold Room, made a dash at au old gentleman
upon the top of whose placid head re
posed a silver stove-pipe which presented
th sleek gloss of absolute newness. In a second
the hat was lying on the floor among the spit
toons, the crown caved in, tbe brim broken, and
the tout ensembl presenting the appearance of a
month's hard usage. This was the signal for'a
universal assault by tte sub-committee upon
every man, young or old, wearing a white hat.
Occurring, as the scene did, where Mammon
is worshipped, and men are continually casting
the natural gold and silver of humanity
into a molten huuge, it was posi
tively refreshing. It was like a breath
from a cornfield blowing into a counting room,
it had just so much nature and freshness about
it. It was worth while losing the hat for the
purpose of gaining the sensation. The poet
Goldsmith says: "The sports of childhood
satisfy the child." Sometimes they satisfy the
man, too. Depend upon it, there is a sweet core
in the sordid heart of Wall street human nature,
when that human nature can break forth into
such a boyish veut as the white hat furore of
yesterday.
The New Ojxtii Honlfe.
The New York daily newspapers contradict
each other so much with respect to the moral
and artistic merit of the new Opera Bouffe com
pany which last night appeared for the first time
in America at the Grand Opera House, that
perhaps the most candid way for me to refer to
it would be to record, briefly, my own impres
sions. I attended the rehearsal twice, and I sat
out two-thirds of the public performance lat
night, and I have several things to remark, to
wit:
I. The tenor, Causing I not to be mentioned
in the same day with Aujac or Carrier. Hois
nothing but a mass of vocal shakes, with some
slight force as an actor.
II. The bulto, lllttemanp, has a good deal of
comic humor, aud a slim pretension to a voice.
III. Silly is a homely soprano with a worn
voice, large legs (which she if always fond of
wearing), and extremely full eyes, circles around
which are heavily rouged to lend them a facti
tious brilliancy.
IV. Montalaud is a baby-faced soprano, with
no voice worth mentioning, but, who employs
the trick of introducing tbe falsetto notes known
as Tyrolean. Her toilettes are excessively mag
nificent, her make up is elaborate to tbe last
degree, the interio'r oi her nostrils aud of her
ears, eveD, ling painted, and certain points ia
her acting, lavishly applauded by the public,
are ingeniously vulgar and lewd. x
V. The choruses are large and well drilled;
the scenery is beautiful: the costumes are ex
pensive aud ph tureeque; the music is trilling,
light, and bright; cxd the dialogue is full of
unclean jokes.
VI. That is the subitauce ot the new opera
bouffe. Ai l Baiia.
