Ol It MtW YORK LETTER.
New York, Feb. H, 1S75.
DIPHTHERIA.
Diphtheria has become an epidem
ic in New York and Rrooklyn, and
indeed in manv of the Hudson River
towns, nartieularlv in Albanv. It
is lai.ued that the disease has in
en a-ed frightfully by the common
practice of salncg the streets in
snowy weather. It appeared in Al
bany" early in the spring of 185$,
and in that half of the city which is
Miuated south of State street almost
deeimated the children between two
and seven years. Over 2,000 cases
occurred in the whole city during the
fist ten months of its prevalence,
aud IT'J deaths are recorded from it.
Since that day it has appeared as a
uta ci.iilfiuic, aad Las raged with
ni,,re or virulence in all the prin-
cm.uI towns anu cities in the country.
It is fearful! v prevalent now in New
York and suburban cities and villages,
carrying off hundreds per diem.
The disease is so virulent in its na.
tore that the physicians find it
cull to treat it successfullv.

llEECIIER-TILTON.
Well
Frank Moulton is off the
stand after weeks ol examination aud
cross-examination. He ha6 surprised
his friends and Lis enemies. The
most acute legal taient of the city
has been after him all these weary
days, traps have been set for him
without number, but from first to
last he has held squarely to tbe state
merits originally made, and has not
deviated a hair's breadth. He has
explained in the most frant and can
did manner has entire connection
with the matter, and has thrown
flood of strong light on all the
dark places. He has shown him-
s If quite the equal of the lawyers
who had him in oand, and has lm
pressed evervbody with the idea that
he was telling the truth and nothing
less.
This trial will probably furnish
authorities and precedents for all the
divorce cases to come in the century.
Such ransacking of judicial decisions
ou difficult poiuts, aud so many of
these points as occur, make this a
tnal of special interest in a legal
point of view. Thus far two pretty
important side-lessons hare ben
eloquently enforced by the history of
this case, namely, the folly of believ
ing in 1'carsav, aud the uselcssness
jollying. Much cf the scandal that
has broken tip households, when
placed under the searching rav of
judicial examination, melts away to
impressions, to gossip, to imagination
iluii has made the worst of things,
and taken its own horrors for fact.
Aud this bold and deliberate system
of lyiug, which even good men held
justifiable to keep scandal from break
ing out, proves but an added trou
ble, that darkens the case for both
sides.
The struggle now is wLetber Til
tou shall be allowed to testify in this
ease, aud a vigorous Gght is being
made over it. I can see no reason
why he should not. If he tells the
truth, all well; that is what the peo
ple want. If he lies ho cannot so
hide it but that the lynx-eyed law
yers for Beecber will discover it It
strikes me that Beecber is injoring
himself by this perpetual cbjecliog
and quibbling. If he is innocent Lc
ought to give every one who knows
anything about it a chance to tell
what they know. Keeping testimo
ny out of court which everybody
knows exists, may acquit him in a
court of lae but it will not before the
people.
Bl EI NESS.
The first of Februarv, merchants'
faces grow a shade lighter, for tbe
Spring trade opens, which it is hoped,
will revive business from the depres
sion of the last two years. It is very
well understood that inflated price's
are things of the past, and to do
business in future, a man must offer
the public something it wants, at the
lowest prices, for economy is grow
ing iasuionauie, and socially a grace
is made of a necessity. Merchants
are marking goods down unsparing! v.
A. T. Stewart & Co., whose figures
are the thermometer of prices, began
their spring campaign by offering the
standard twilled wool dress fabrics
which sold last year ot $1.00 a yard
for SO ceDts a difference by which
one can measure the tumble in the

AMERICAN SHoES AND SILKS.
... .i . i i .i oi euioLfc uui ii os uo rv tvu
Kren those who a atiroao andi.. ,,. ,.J ? j
thr.ro r not n fi-iv who m
of a winter voyage aerjss the ocean
are beginning to appreciate home
manufacturers, as they deserve. I
was surprised to hear a fistidious
ldy. late from Europe, declare that
the shoes made in this c uinry were
better than those she founJ either in
London or Paris. Tbe shape of
American boots was more graceful
than the Euglish, which were clumsy
looking, unnecessarily broad aud
square, and short in the ankle, while
French shoes, of good make were
little, if anv, cheaper than in New
York.
American silks are steadily gam
ine a Dational repute, like that of
Irish poplin, like it defying changes
of time aud fashion, always in style
aud favor for its worth and intrinsic
beauty. It is the thing for ladies
going abroad to take dresses of
American silk with them, partly for
the sake of home associations, as the
Scotswoman takes Ler clan tartan, or
tbe Irishwoman her Limerick lace,
but inoro because no other fabric
stands the vovaire as well or is' as
good a hotel toilet, always sufficient
ly rich aud subdued.
Nor are these the only manufac
tures which we have reason to es
teem. Tho late meeting of the
American china r.ud pottery-makers
lu take measures for protecting arid
developing their industries brought
to light the fact that the fine-t clays
and china earths were more abundant
iu this country than in Europe. Al
ready more than half the china in
common use is home-made, aud a
vast improvement we find, this semi
opaipae porcelain on the oi l fashion
ed stone-china and eiuceuswure. All
the varieties of ornamental ware are
made here, such as decorating tiles,
majolica, and imitation wedgewood.
It ought to be the pride of a good
American to hunt out, and do
justice to the productions of home
art, just as they come up to Un
desirable standard, nud wbieh they
are fast doing.
THE PRICE E r.EIXci II.I VSTRATED
oiilo you like to know the price
of fame at last quotations: 1 oun
renders who envy the fortunate
musician or literary man who is
brought so far into notice that the
public demand to know how he looks,
and where he dines, when he was
born, and what be has done since he
wasofage to spead, listen. Wha-r
ever pious or usetui worn you (i lor
the world, short of taking a gun-beat
fleet, or reaching Wiic-hiel's high C
as a tenor, do not expect to Cud an
artist envov at your bedroom door,
beseeching your picture for the illus
trated papers. Such was once the
case, but the pictorial newspapers
have changed ull that. Ifyou choose
to furnish your imperial photograph,
aud pay $250 in addition, you may
have the pleasure ofseeiug your lace
in a full-page portrait, wuu the
privilege of writing your own his
torv to be added thereto. The man
agers of public singers aud actresses
pay for the publication of their pic
tures as a part of necessary adver
tising. It is a special vanity with
manufacturers to have picturs of their
factories and portraits printed side by
side though what good a print of long
lank looking buildings, coupled with
that of a snub-nosed man, with hair
brushed into a perpendicular agony,
as the genuinp crystalline, salt works
and proprietor, can do the business,
is one of the inscrutable niysterits
known only to the advertising clerk,
who pockets ?o0 for the operation
Such is lifo. '
CRUELTY TO CII2I.DKEN.
A society has been inaugurated in
New York for tbe prevention of cru-
e.tv to children, under the patron
age of many prominent and excellent
persons. It will protect the ennd
atrainst a brutal father, and try to
save it from a life of sin or shame
It will also shield the ill-used wif-
and look into case where the offictrs
of the law have cruelty maltreated
a child. It is an excellent and hu
mane idea, and deserves every en
couragement, Tor in this runi-r.dJen
city there is more cruelty to women
and children than there is to animals
And the abuse d wife or child is just
as helpless as the abused hor.-e. The
child cannot complain, and the wile
will not, for she knows that when tbe
law has withdrawn its protection
tbe brute who beat Ler will beat
her atrain for eomii!ainiu!r. The soci

Last Friday a trial came off in a
city court iu which a liquor "impor
ter" was defendant. Ou the trial the
following facts came out.
Bourbon or rye whiskey is manu
factured from high wines, commonly
called fusil oil whiskey, made to-day
and drank three days after. It also
contains vinegar, Byrup, oil of bour
bon, French coloring, bluestone, and
other poisonous chemicals. It costs
80 cents to $1 a gallon, and retails
for $5 to $ a gallon.
Cognac brandy is made from
French or Cologne spirits, burnt su
gar, oil of cognac, vinegar, bluestone,
Jamaica rum, honey, syrup, port
wine, French coUring, alum aud
aloes. It costs $2 a gallon, aud re
tails from $6 to ?10 a gallon.

Scotch
or Irish whiskey, fusil oil.

some imported Irish or Scotch whis

What sells for the best old Holland
gin is nmde from French spirits
water, oil of juniper, svrup, white
wine vinegar, bluestone, New hog-Mr. Wolfe said he was perfectly will
land rye, peach pits, with some im-;ing to go before his constituents and
ported gin for flavor
Old Tom gin is made from tbe
same ingredients, but double syrup
is added to make it sweeter. It costs
$1.25 a gallon, and retails for $5. It
is also bottled as a medicine, and
sold for tbe kidney disease.
Jamaica and St. Croix rum is made
of double-refined high wines, French

Robbery at MempbiH.
Memfiiis, February 1. Snturd.iy
eveuiug last a mau giving the name
of W. 11. Parker, rented the basement
of tbc Knickerb cker building, at IS
Madison street, for the purpose, as
be stated, of opening a stock insur
ance office, and put up a sign with
the name of W. R. Parker it Co.,
and placed au old desk aud a tew
chairs in the back pait of the ofliee,
which has a rear entrance through
au alley. This morning John Brady,
a messenger of the Southern Express
company, wuo delivers an vuitiuoie
packages, entered Pai ker's dice to
deliver a package said to contain slO
(addressed W. R. Parker & Co.).
and expressed from L'ollinsville, Term.
Brady asked to see a member of the
firm, aud made known his business.
There were two white mm and three
uegroes standing behind ihe counter.
Brady preseuted his receipt book
and at the same time threw a psueh
contaiuiug a large number of money
packages on the counter. At this
uioiitcut a Tope w as tfiiovtn arund
his neck and a hag drawn over his
bead, and he was beaten to a state
of almost insensibility. His cries
attracted attentiou, and as the street
was full of people a crowd soon
gathered, but, the robbers had se
cured the pouch and c.si-uped by the
rear passage. At present there is no
clue to their 'vhe-reaboats. Brady is
dangerously, it not fatally injured.
I'erseus ai. the express olliee have no
present means of knowing or estima
ting the amount of the loss.
Later. It is now believ ed that the
men who robbed ihe express messen
ger ibis morning crossed the river iu
a skiff, within halt au hour after the
robbery was committed, aud are now
iu the canabrakes iu the bottom.
Brady, ihe messenger, though
severely beaten is not daugerously
so. The express officers decline to
state how much the robbers secured,
but it is supposed a large amount
was taken.

afterwards a mail named Marks
