SKN6AT10KL CORRESPONDENTS. TIlC
KrresivuJ'.nt f the New Yrk 77mfs.
who 8ui a si ial dispatch froiu this jilace
C-Q Monday last, to that paper, must have
Ven badly misinformed as to the locationJ
of this town, and the danger ot it over
flowinz by water. The dispatch is full ol
bunglinj mors and misrepresentations
calculated to mislead the readers of that
journal. Had the correspondent applied
to citizen who arc thoroughly acquainted
Willi the facts as they exist, the letter iuiht
have proved not only more interesting but
would have contained correct information.
The writer says, that "at the mouth of the
North Branch all the ice is gorged on both
tides of Bird's island." The fact is, there
is co gorge in that vicinity, nor for about
five or six miles northward. Then he says,
"should this gorge break suddenly the only
defense for the north end of the town is
furnished bv an embankment erected by
the Philadelphia and Erie Company for
the protection of their depot at that point.'
If such a gorge did exist there aud would
break, that part of the towu would be pro
tected by two embankments, that of the
1). 11. & V., and the V. & E. Railroads.
As the Ptiila. & Erie railroad depot is not
located in that part of the town, it follows
that the enibaukments were uot built for
the protection of that buildiug. Their de
pot was built about sixteen years after the
embankments were erected, and he might
with the same propriety have stated that the
depot had U-cu built near the centre of the
towu to protect the embankment. In re
gard to tlie gorge below this town he says,
"should this gorge continue, the water will
back up over the dam and tlooJ the lower
end of the town.' ' Should this be the ca c
it would certainly establish a fact never
before known, that water can be made to
run up hill as well as down. The facts are
that where the ico is gorged the rivtrib
nearly a mile io width, and that hut about
one third of that space is obstructed by the
gorge. That the islmds and gorges are
much lower than the daui, that the water
is more likely to run over the gorges before
it will back even to the breast of the dam.
He says "altogether the position of suubu
ry at this time is to the last degree unenvi
able." There are but few persons in this
vicitity that entertain any idea of such dan
gers as this correspondent describes. Had
he looked around the town lie would nave
found it as well fortiCed against high water
as any other town along the banks of the
river. That "the .-ailro::d interests here
About have suffered severely siuce the ice
commenced to break up io the Susquehan
na," is certainly news to the companies as
well as to our citizens. Their "sufferings"
have been small as compared with the past.
Speaking of the Cattawissa road he says it
"is covered with ice to the height of twenty-feet
in some places and it will !), a mouth
at least before travel caa be resumed." As
an incorrect statement, the best proof is
that the Cattawissa road is alreadj nearly
cleared of ice, nud that travel off that road
will lie resumed within a week. Auy
tne acquaiuled with the situation vf our
town, aud will read the letter of this cor
respondent, will no doubt, conclude lo dot
believe ma ay of the report of correspond
ents from other points. It is well known
that correspondents are eeut abroad bv iue
publishers of city papers to collect the most
reliabi cws Ibr puuhyiijiyn iAl,iv thiWii
selves to auy trouble to gather tacts, but
make up bUtemeuts from hearsay of jier
sous unacquainted in the place to create
a Kens&tiou, where really co cause exists
for auy alarm.
We notice that the Harrisburg corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Press ot the
ltfib iusL, is also given to exaggeration.
He aays, "along tlie Northern Ceutral
Railroad the damage has been very exteu
aive aud will take weeks to repair, particu
larly north of this city as far as Suuuury.
The entire track of tlie road lrotu Harris
burg to Suuuury, is oue great ice tield."
Every one who lias traveled over tlial road
siuce, will kuow tins to be an unmitigated
falsehood, as there was no damage doue
as yet to the roaJ, nof has there bet u uu
hour's detention of the eight dailv trains
that are ou that road.
We publish in another part of this paper
the new license law recently passed. Theie
is very liilie to be said iu favor or agaiust.
It practically put thiugs where they would
have been had the ,Iocal Option repeal
alone carried. So far as the rcstiicliug
tlie liquor tralhc is concerned it is iuetli
cient to put a check to iutemperauce. It
will not make oue rum shop less. As a
measure of practical legislation it will
prove a failure, but as the demand for uu
unfettered liceusc law has been long aud
loud it may serve for au experiment. We
believe, however, that a more stringent
law would have nearer met the views of
all parties.
Itappuars that the Beading railroad
Company has taken a decided stand agaiuet
the Miuers' aud Workiogiuen's Benevo

issued prohibiting any of their employees
from beiug members of that organization,
and notifiud them that those joining would

becomiug kuowu to the officers of tlie Com
pany. It is expected that the shipping of
coal will l)c discontinued over their road
next week, and no coal shipped eastward
from Sliamokin. It looks a good deal as if
a general eusjiension would take place
throughout the eutiie coal regions during
iicxt month.
Before the adjournment of the Legis
lature last week at Harrisburg oue act of
justice was done at least. The n solution
of censure against Hon. Charles S. Wolf,
of Uniou, was rescinded. The gentlemau
referred t is a most excellent legislator
honest, conscientious and intelligent, and
a Christian gentleman. He acted iu the
matter that called out the censure con
scientiously, and the recognition of his real
worth by the Democracy caused a kindli

the closing hours of the session.

The rush of ice came so quick tlut the re

'The ice is coming 1 Flv for your lives ! 1'
Come it did and right royally did it do its
work .f destruction. Along the line f the
railroad the ice came tearing, crash ou-

Beeciier's Trial the Witness
Cook's Theory ok the Conspiracy.
correspondent of the Philadelphia Time.
writing from Rrooklyn, about the Beecher-
Tilton trial, says :
Sometimes, in the midst of this trial.
there seems a beam of light for Mr. Beech-
er. Occasionally, u iooks as u ne was toe
victim of a train of evil leaguers, guided by
evil agents. It looks, sometimes, as il
blackmailers and devils had pressed him
on, and as itit could be shown so. Again,
it looks as ifboth sits of accusations were
true ; that he was first guilty, and then
cruelly pursued for it. Alt in all, this trial
is a satirical test of the infirmity of mau's
judgment.
INTERVIEW WITH THE WITNESS COOKE.
The importance .,f Uu; testimony of th
witness, Cooke, was so great lhat at the
recess I made his acquaintance, and the
following parts of a conversation were
given :
'Do you believe, Mr. Cooke, that Mr.
Beccher is guilty or the subject of a con
spiracy ?'
Cooke. "I have believed from the time
I saw Tilton's statement, last summer,
that this charge against Mr. Beecher was
false. It began in Tilton's euvy. Frank
Moulton was for some time Tiltity's half
dupe. Finally, Moulton was let in and
then he was too obsliuate or reckless to
back out.
'Why did you begin to think this from
Tiltou'8 statement before the Committee V"
Cooke. "Because I saw there that Til-
ton claimed that his intimacy with Wood-
hull was due to a desire to save his guilty
wife from publicity. I knew that the con
trary was true.'
'Explain V
Cooke. "Mrs. Woodhull was struck
with Tiltou iu love with him. He re
ciprocated. They became intimate, and
both together endeavored to bring Beechti
to the Steinway Hall meeting. Woi-dhull
uever saw Beecher but three times. He
positively declined to address that meeting.
That made them mad, and from that lime
forward Mrs. Woodhull was free with
him, and constantly sought to drag me iu io
attacks upon Beecher on the score al his
many infidelities.'
'Did she get this whole story from Til
ton ?'
'I think so. He began with upbraiding
Beecher on general grounds of infidelity,
and finally connected his own wife with
jf yoll ,,erHouaIIy aware of all her of
feuces agaiust purity and probity, still she
would make the impression ou you belore
she had finished oue interview of a woman
of mind and convictions. She is a free
lover, but uot of the stamp of her sister.
She has a theory , and, I believe, she is true
to it.'
'Now, did she embrace Tiltou in this
theory of affinities V
Yes. Of his guilt with this woman there
is uot a particle of doubt. She was dead
struck wiih him. He was prowling arouud
for a mission of some kind, so it might be
be radical ; and his discontent at home aud
sensuality made him an easy prey to mis
woman's theories. Together they deter
mined to bring Beecher into this free love
moveuieut. Tilton iiad malicious inten
tions in it. Beecher tlatly refused, aud
hurl her vanity aud prolonged his euvy.'
Why did Tilton quit the Woodhull wo
man ? Did they quarrel V
'No. Alter Greeley was nominated, aud
it looked for awhile as if he might be elect
ed, Tiltou saw a chance for getting some
important office abroad, or in lieu of this,
succeeding Greeley as editor of the Tribune.
So he discovered his unpopularity with the
Woodhull connection ou his bauds, and he
simply slopped coming to their house.
Vick felt outraged at being dropped in this
way. and uow she hates hiiu.'
'Don't you believe Tilton really loved his
wile and grieves for her V
'I think,' said Cooke, 'that at home he is
a brute. If that womau were to return to
live with bun to-morrow, his conduct would
make her quit him in a week.'
But Beeciier's letters ? What can ex-1-laiu
them V
'Weli. He was cither a deep, wicked
scoundrel, or a perfectly frank, emotional
man. If he was the latter, aud had injured
Tilton, as he supposed, his letters wouii
indicate the remorse of his great, ceutl'
nature. Of course, lie did think a gooi
deal of Elizabeth Tilton, but not to the e:
tent charged. The sentimental piety of tie
Plymouth Chuich has ex pored it to sihh
uiislit-havior and conspiracy as this. Needi

be left with two such fellows, who had beeu
her props, removed from either side. They
will show lier dependence ou these two and
dismiss her. But it Mr. Beecher had not
objected, say iug that he would uot see thai
family ruiued, his counsel meant, also,
to call equal disgrace upon her head.'
"How could this be done V"
"Mrs. Woodhull says that so far from be
iug called upou by Mrs. Moultou iu rela
tion to Tiltou's affairs, it was ou Mrs.
Moulton's own salvation that ihe latter
called. She (Woodhull) had become pos
sessed of some family knowledge as to the
Moultons which brought Mr. Moultou to
her feet.'
I said, ouly, to Cooke : "Don't this bear
some relation lo the marvelous ? Uow
could Woodhull know anything about the
atl'airs of a remote private family like the
Moultons V
'How can she know anything ?' said
Cooke. 'She has the private bectets of a
large part of New York.'
'What for V'
Blackmailing. That's a great branch of
modern commerce.'
Yet she is tht priestess of an idea, you
think ?'
Well. Woodhull is a mixture or ideality
and crime, egotism and cruelty. After you
know her as long as 1 have, you'll want to
to drop her. You see that she is a family
breaker, a devil.'
'Does she control this man Blood '
Yes. He can't help himself when she

Butler on Civil Rights. A Wash
ington city judge has given it as his opinion,
that the provision of the Civil Rights bill
tl not extend to barber shops. To this
opinion General Butler was written to, by
Roln-rt Harlan. Esq.. of Cincinnati. Ohio, i
when the General give the following as au
explanation of the bill :
Washington, March 18, 187". Sir: I
have the pleasure to acknowledge the re
ceipt of yours of the 14th, containing ex
pressions of appreciation of u.y efforts in
behalf of the civil rights bill, for which ac
cept my thanks. You further ask. "Will
you be kind enough to inform me if colored
men are entitled to the privileges of saloons
and barber 6hops under its provisions "'
To this I answer : I understand by "sa
loons,', you mean drinking saloons, aud
am happy to say that tht? civil rights bill
does not give auy right to a colored man
to go into a drinking saloon without the
leave of the proprietor, and am very glad
that it does not. I am willing to concede,
as a friend of the colored man, that the
white race may have at least this one su
perior privilege to the colored man, that
thev can drink in bar rooms and saloons.
aud I shail never do any thing to interfere
with tha exercise of lhat high aud dis
tinctive privilege. I would not advocate
a bill which should give that right to the
colored man. If I were to vote for any bill
ou this subject at all it would bj one to
keep the colored man out of tho drinking
saloons; and I hope no barkeeper will ever
let a colored man have a glass of liquor at
any bar open for drinkiutr. Indeed I
should be glad whenever a colored man
should go into a drinking saloon for the
purpose of drinking at the bar if somebody
would al once take him and put him out,
doing him as little injury a possible. He
could do the colored man no greater kind
ness. As to the other branch of y ur question,
in refereuce to barber shops, let me say
that the barber is like any other trade, to
be carried on by the man who is engaged
iu it at his own will and pleasure, and the
civil rights bill has nothing to do, and was
iutended V) have nothing to do, with its ex
ercise, harbcr has a right to shg
a right to repair a "watell "tor whom he
pleases, or a blacksmith to shoe such col
ored horses as he pleases. In other words,
these are not public employments, but pri
vate business, iu which the law does not
interfere.
From time immemorial all men have
had equal rights at the common law in
places of public amusement, in public con
veyances aud in inus or licensed taverns,
because all such business was for the pub
lic uuder special privileges granted by the
government. The theatre and like public
amuseaienls were licensed by the public
autho-iiits and protected by the police.
The ruhlic conveyances used ihe king'
highvay. The public inn hadie special
priviLges of a lieu or claim upon the bag
gage or other "property of auy traveler
usin; it for his keep ; and if any man was
refused, while liehaviiig himself well and
payng his fire, a seal in any place of pub
lic anusement, or carriage by public c-.n-veyiiice,
or shelter iu a public inn, he had
at lommoii law a right of action agaiust
iheparty so refusing. The civil rights bill
onV confirms these rights of all citizens
to the colored inau in consideration of the
prtjudice against hi iu aul an attempt in
ceiaiu parts of the country to interfere
wth the exercise of those common law
rghts, and has enacted a panally as a
it a ns of enforciug the right iu his behalf
it consideration of bis helpless aud depen
dent condition. The civil rights bill has
lot altered the colored mau's rights at all
roui what they wcie before uuder the
jommou law applicable lo uearly every
stale iu the Union. Il has ouly given him
a greater power to enforce thai right to
meet the exigency of combined effort to
deprive colored citizens of ii ; ami all idea
that the civil rights bill allows the colored
man to force himself iuto any mau's shop
oi into any man's private house or into
any eating house, boarding house or estab
lishment other than those I have named
is simply an ........v
well as, in aome cases, of insufferable pre
judice aud malignity. And while I would
8Uiaio auy colored man iu (irmly aud pro
jierly insisting upon his rights under ihe
civil rights bill, which were his at coiuiuou
law, as thev were the ri jhl of every citizen,
yet I should oppose to the utmost of my
power any attempt on the part of the color
ed men to use the civil rights bill as a pre
tence to interfere wi'.h the private business
of private parties. It is beneath the dignity

Pout Jeuvw. N. Y.. March 19.
The ice has passed out of the Delaware
as far down as Easlon. The damage be
tween Port Jervis ami the Water Gap was
coinpaialively slight, being coulined prin
cipally to the destruction offences aud the
carrying away of lumber at different points.
At the Water Gap the ice became block
ed for a short time. but finally broke through
without doing much damage. At Eastoo
nineteen rafts were carried out of the eddy,
but a portion of the lumber can be recover
ed. A portion of the Barrett bridge, swept
away from this place, was carried beyond
Milford, eight miles below here, aud passed
between the wire suspension bridge a mile
below Milford, fortunately missing the pier
and clearing the floor of the bridg j by a
(ew inches.
The people of this place. and others in the
i :inity, are aware of the facl that tne flood
of Wednesday was not the annual Spring
flood, but, an ice freshet of more than or
dinary proportions. Tho high water ol
the season is yet to come.
The condition of the river now is whit
il would have been if uo ice had covered
its surface an ordinary rafting freshet.
Along the Beaver Kill, the East Branch,
the West Branch, ami all their feetkrs, tin
snow is still three feet deep.
The ice in the Lacka waxen river, the
Walk'iipaupack. the Neversink. iimi other
tributaries of the Delaware it stiil unbroken,
but there cau be no damage, us in alt pro
nubility when it goes out it will be one high
water.
The ice is piled up ou each side of the
Delaware its entire length in walls of an
average height of twenty feet. At this
place il is fifty feet high at some, points.
In nine cases out t:f ten the water that fol
lows the breaking up of the ice will rise
as high ;.s the ice thai is left along the
banks. If that occurs this year aud
twelve hours' warm rain, with wind from
ll.e south, will bring it about the story of
the highest water in the history of the Dela
ware will have to lie written.
The damage it will do may hot be worth
the mentioning, but there is deep appre
hension still in the minds of the dwellers
along the stream.
INCIDENTS OF TIIE FLOOD.
Many touching and interesting iucideuis
occurred during the flood, .mong the
hundred of families who were forced to de
sert their homes there were some whose re
moval was attended with uuusual circum
stances.
Oue of these, the most touching, was the
carry iug of Mary Ann Melley from her
mother's house in Suesex street. Miss
Kelley had been a helpless invalid. She
was taken from her very death bed and
coined to the Children's Home, in Ball
street.
A sister of charity walked by the side of
the sleigh iu which the dying girl was
placed, and held her hand while she com
forted her with cheering words.
A poor widow, living in Gerrnanlown,
the morning of the flood, came to this place
to order a coffin for her baby, which had
died the night before. She left her house
and the corpse with her daughter, aged
live years. While the bereaved mother
was absent the flood came rolling down ihe
flats.
A man living uear ran to her house, and
endeavored to induce the little girl to leave
her dead brother. The man picked her up,
and carried her. weeping aud scraming. to
a place of safety. When he released her
she ran swiftly back to her mother's de
serted house ami re-entered it.
She remained but an instaul, and then
rati out with the dead baby in her arms.
The flood vjas but a short distance away,
and bearing down upon the ground the
litlle girl had to cross with her burden.
Shu reached a safe osition before the
wave of ice rolled by, aud, looking back to
see her humble home crused to atoms in
the mass of ice, she started in search of her
mother.
The latter, when the alarm was sounded,
hastened lo return home, and met her little
girl carrying the lifeless baby in the midst
of the crowd that througed the high ground.
The scene lhat followed is indescribable.
The wife of Patrick Creighton. a cripple,
carried him out of their house, which was
battered in by the ice liefore they knew of
its uear approach. Iu doing this she al the
same time maintained control of nine
pTace,8.","l",r',' bringing them all to safe
An old lady, living alone, refused to
leave her house at all, and was carried with
it twenty-five feel among the ice, aud land
ed high up on a huge cake. She remained
iu the house during the whole of the terrific
strife of the elements about' her.
Hundreds of similar incidents occurred,
and they still are topics of general conver
sation throughout the place. Communica
tion has lieen reopened with Matamoras,
across the river, small boats being run to
aud fro.
A rope ferry will lie iu running order iu
a few days. The Erie railway company is
constructing i ferry across the river near
the site of the late bridge, by which pas
sengers will be readily transferred.
THE SCENE AT MARIETTA.
Mauietta. Pa.. March 19.
It is impossible lo imagine the scene pre
sented here now. t or a mile along Fiont
street immense enkes of ice are piled from
ten to forty feet high, filling the canal aud
covering the railroad track, and in many
places tearing out the rails.
Several canal boats are laying across the
track. They were only prevented from
demolishing houses by large trees that
were firm enough to stop th m. About
520,000 worth of lumber was carried away.
Miller & Muser's steam saw null was com
pletely demolished, and great damage was
done to houses by tho water tilling the fiist
floors and cellars.
Hundreds of men are working to clear
the railroad track. It is estimated that il
will take 2.000 men from three to five days
to clear the tracks, but all the trains are
running regularly via the Mount Joy
branch. Ti.e water in the river was sev
eral feet higher than in the flood of 1SG5.
AT IIAVItE DE GKACK.

The ice has gorged about live miles be
low Havre de Grace. The warves their
are all flooded, and large piles of lumlier
' i.,. ..utx,rs
of men are engaged in saviug the property.
The street next to the river above the
bridge is completely blocked with ice, wood
and lumber. The water is about ten inch

A GREAT HOTEL -WHAT IT COSTS AND
HOW IT 13 RUN HE ECU ER BUSINESS:.
From Our New Yoik Corresponilent.
New York. March 2.1. I87 .
A GREAT HOTEL.
Very few people, even those who live iu
them, have any idea of the construction,
cost, or methods of conducting the great
hotels of the great l ilies. Would il be of
anv interest lo vour readeis to know about
these things ? I think so. and shall devote
the most of this letter to a statement of
them. I shall lake the finest hotel in New
York for mv subject, which is to say the
finest hotel in the United Stales, except
four in Chicago.
To liegin with, the hotel must, to make
it what it should lie. cover an entire block,
or the greater part of it. This is necessary
to get ventilation and light. And even the
four streets are not sufficient, for in addi
tion it Jias to have a court in the center.
Swell a hotel will have from six hundred
lo one thousand rooms in it, the number
depending upon the patronage desired If
transient custom is what is sought, the
rooms are smaller, for you can tuck a single
man away anywhere, but if families and
crmanent boarders are wanted, the rooms
must be large and airy, and have bath
rooms, etc.. connected with them.
Steam is always used for heating the
halls ami public rooms, ami all the rooms
must have grates iu them. A boiler thai
gent rates 200 horse power is none too large,
for in addition to the heat required, power
is necessary to run an elevator and to
tlie work in the kitchen nnd laundry.
The means of communication betwei n
ihe rooms and Ihe otlice is Ihe telegraph.
Wires run from each room to iheoffieeaud
ail Ihe gut st has to do is to touch a little
knob and a hall boy will be al his door in
two minutes to execute his orders. Some
hotels have a tixie. of signals for the most
co'imou wants, so that ihe order is given
liy telegraph. Thus, one fahort pressure
means ice-water ; two. the ; three, chamber
maid ; one long nnd two short, breakfast ;
and so on.
Now about the cost of all these eon vein
ences : The breakfast., dinner and tea ser
vice cost S24.UOO ; Ihe chairs iu the dining
room alone, cost 4,200 ; the morocco 1am
hrequins in the parlors, cost $3,000, each
cornice and each wiudow iu the dining
room, cost ?100 ; the mirrors alone iu the
dining r n hall, cost 0.000 ; the fnsco-
work iu the dining hail cost nearly $10,000,
&c.
These are a few of the most unimportant
items mere beginuers as it were to intro
duce you to the gorgeous figures of the
things that cost. When you want to build
a hotel in New York you want $800,000 to
pay for the ground ou which it stands. $1.
000.000 to put into the b liiding. and nearly
as much more to furnish it. Think of the
acres of carpets al $2 to $U per yard ; think
of the thousands of chairs, bedsteads, sofas;
think of the mountains of mattresses, lied
linen and toweling; think of the great mass
of crockery ami glass ware, and the cost of
furnishing a great hotel mounts up tre
mendously. The deprecation iu value of
the furniture of one ot these establishments
amounts to $75,000 per year, the one item
of broken glasses footing up $1,000.
A most perfect system necessarily ob
tains. The 8le ward by long practice knows
exactly how much io buy. and what, and
the proportions. The room clerks inform
him in the morning how many people are
iu the house and he knows the number of
ulsters thai number will require, the uuin
her of potatoes, the amount of each kind of
meal aud all alsiut it. The head cook
takes his order and the breakfast is accord
ingly prepared. So accurate is this law of
averages that very little is wasted. Out of
one hundred fieople tiny know that so
many will want baked potatoes, so ninny
ltilcd. so many slewed, and so many fried,
ami they are never out of the way. One
bill of fare, takeu al rami -m. announces 11
sei arattt divisions r classes of edibles. ". e..
Soups, fish, boiled, roast, cold dishes, re-
i moves, entrees, game, vegetables
j and confectionery, fruits ami
pastry
deserts.
I There are 00 separate articles, embracing U
i soups, 3 kinds of fish, 5 of boiled. 3 of roast.
7 varieties of salad, pate de foie gras with
tuffles. &c, "2 removes. G entrees, grouse
ami widgeon duck. 14 kinds of vegetables.
7 varieties of pastry. &c. 11 articles under
the head of desert. And all this based
upon the steward's calculation. Il was all
consumed and there was just enough.
The wine cellar of one of the leading Xew
York hotels holds at present IS brands of
chaiiiingne. 5 kinds -f American wine, 12
varieties of sherry, 4 of port. 8 of Bur
gundy, l(j of claret, 14 of hock, 7 of San-
terne, and 3 of Moselle, while ihe supplies
of brandy, whisky, rum, ale. cider. liquors
cordials. &., would til out several -sample
, The force necessary to run one of these
Hotels, may be stated as follows : Four
book keepcis, three loom clerks, three
package ami key clerks, eight bar keepeis.
on engineer, thirteen tireineu. 1 head
cook. 12 assistaut cooks. 70 waiters. 3o
chamltermaids. 4- laundry women. 3o
scrub-women. 30 hall men. 13 porters two
carenters. one locksmith, aud so on. In
all 220 men and l."0 women are employed
in the house, the pay roll footing up from
j $10,000 to $12 000 cr month.
Of course -.he decipline ia rigid. Every
person must be ou duty exactly on lime,
and every one of them is bound to do his or
her duty silently. They wear noiseless
shoes, and never speak uultss they are
spoken to. A complaint from a guest is
equivalent to a discharge.
i The cost of provisions for one of these
I hotels amounts in round numbers to $1,000
per day. Oue hotel in New York us8 up
Sf.XI per nay in pumpkin pies alone in the
season.
Of course the hotel proprietors iu good
limes make money, for while the expenses
are enormous, the receipts are corresp-ml
ingly large. If ihe house is full, tle receipts
ought t run very close to $4,500 per day
for hoard alone, but it does not slop ihen
You pay for your owu tiresat the rate ot $1
per lire, and then there are the inouna-ra
ble extras. If you want a meal brought to
your room it is $1 extra, and if you are
hibulously inclined il cos is lo indulge,
The whisky you gel around the comer for
ten cents you pay twenty five cents for at
the' bar of your hotel, and so on for all
other drinks, and the same may be said of
cigars.
A big source of revenue is ""priviligea."
The man who blacksy our boots pay round
ly for the room he occupies, and so does the
umbrella statin and the barber shop. All
these things are necessary to the house, but
they are extras, and the proprietors don't
;:ive " U privilege, of Utecing tlie pub
lic for nothing.
Take it all in all, the hotel proprietor has
a very sofi thing of it. I shoulo like to
owu a large hotel myself.
I1EECIIERIANA.
The Brooklyn trial imuis out over the
country its regular quantity of swash each
day, but what it is all about heaven only
knows. At the beginning Beecher was on
trial for the seduction of Mrs. Tiltou, and
the alienation of that lady from her hus
band. But somehow ail this has changed,
il wnuta stem now mat tne taoies are
turned, and that Tiltou is on trial for any
number of offences. Thev biought the
President of a lecture Committee from
Winsted, Conn., to prove that he was loo
familiar with a young lady he had taken
with him. and another man from Bloom
iugton, Md.. to swear ttiat he uttered
rather too liberal sentiments in a lecture
there, nnd thev have dragged in almost
every body to show that somewhere he has
done almost everything that is foolish and
had. Now, what all this has to do with
the question at issue at the begiuning of the
struggle, is more than I can see. Suppose
Tiltou is a gay Lo.hario! Suppose the
Winsted accusation is well founded, and
all the other accusations as well suppose
he is to-day the wickedest man in New
York, or anywhere else, what has all that
to do with what he has charged Beecher
with ' Is Beecher tm trial, or Tiltou ?
That's the question.
Nothing new agaiust Tilton has been de
veloped this week. The court room has
been crowded as usual, and the public in
terest does not seem to diminish, but the
trial has, for al! that, become fearfully stale, i
and everybody wishes it well over. Both
Beecher and Tilton show the e fleets of it.
Bei cher is feeling haggard, and the young
er man shows wear and care about the
sime. Old Mrs. Beecher bears up under
it better than any of them. She bas not
got on "the ragged edge of despair" quite
is much as her husband.
f BC IN ESS
is improving rapidly. I took a turn among
the jobbers to-day, and found them much
iu re chirpy than thev were a month ago.
Tne retailers from ihe country are in. in
force, ami they are buying with considera
ble freedom. The old stocks are consumed,
the country is bare of goods, the people
have worn out ami eaten up what tlity had
o hand, and they are compelled to lay in
fresh supplies. Consequently the wheels
are grinding again, and the merchants re
joice. Everybody anticipates a big spring
trade, a good summer trade, and a very
large fall'trade.
And I see no reason why these cheerful
anticipations should noi be realized.
