N. P. Willis.
From New York letter.l

From New York letter.l
Until lately, there frequently appeared
on Nassau and Fulton streets, in the
printing offices, venerable man with
gray locks and whitened beard under
the chin. His step was tottering and he
walked slowly, but one would always
observe about him a certain air OF dan
dyism. He always wore gloves and his
clothes were scrupulously in the fashion.
1t was N. P. Willis, the poet, now up
wards of seventy years OF age. Forty
years ago he was, in common with Irving,
Paulding, Morris, Leggett and others, one
of the young men of literary premise in
this city. New York did not extend
much beyond Canal street; the Park
theatre, opposite the city hall, was the
nightly rendezvous of the tewn wits the
fashionable part of Broadway was at the
corner of Cortlandt street, and the fine
gentlemen and ladies made their after
noon promenades on the battery. Willis,
George p. Morris and Theodore S. Fay
afterwards our Minister to Berlin,
edited literary sheet, the Weekly Mr.
rOr. Willis was in the hight of his rep
utation as a poet then, and his partner
Morris had just made himself famous
with Woodman, Spare that Tree.
Morris died about two years ago, still a
partner with his old friend in the Home
Journal Willis, it is said, is now pass
ing away. He has not appeared in the city
for some weeks, but has been confined to
his residence on the Hudson by his
feeble health. With the exception per-
haps of Mr.. Simms, Of South Carolina,
he is the last representative Of the Sec
ond generation Of American authors.

curiosities of the Atlantic telegraph.

The Courier du HARE sets forth a
striking result of the laying of the trans
Atlantic telegraph 1t says: New York
is situated nearly 76 degrees Of longitude
west of Paris. The earth in its daily ro-
tation, travels through $50 degrees in "a
hours, from which it results that every l5
degrees to the west of the first meridian
placed at Paris is one hour later. When it
is noon at Paris it is only ii o'clock at Is
degrees to the west of that city. And, as
New York is 76 degrees to the west of
Paris it follows that it is clock in the
evening at New York when it is midnight
at Paris. Suppose, then, that a great
ediiice in Paris, the opera for example,
takes fire at quarter past IL at night on
the lst of September next, the event is
Immediately telegraphed from Paris to
New York, and is dated Paris, quar-
ter past II at night, lst September. The
news arrived at New York, let US say, in
two hours, to make ample allowance for
Interruptions, etc.; the dispatch, dated
Paris, lst September, arrives at New
York at quarter past in the evening
of the 3lst of August, so that q New
York manager could appear on the stage,
and after the three customary bows,
could thus express himself Ladies and
gentlemen, am sorry to say that the
opera at Paris has been destroyed by fire
three hours after the present time Our
director has just transmitted to his Paris
confrere his coincidence on the disaster
which is going to happen to him. More
over, it will no longer sutice to indicate
date and gsy, Such day, such an
hour;' it will be necessary time at such
a place. Thus the clerks of the new
telegraph Office take care to add to the
communications exchanged between the
two continents, the express mention,
time at Paris, or Greenwich, or New
York, or Washington,

pailv Expenses Of Millionaire.

An action of some interest to New
Workers, as showing the average daily
expenses of millionaires family, was
up Tuesday in the Supreme Court, before
Justice Sutherland. The suit is entitled
Anna L. Murphy VS.. Andrew Gross, and
Il brought BY the plaintiff for the purpose
of restraining the defendant from dis
posing of certain property in this city,
during the pendency of a divorce suit
between the plaintiff and her husband
Daniel I. Murphy. During the argu-

band is a millionaire; that he has re-

The Atlantic telegraph informs US
that the Turkish authorities have granted
a general amnesty to the Cretan insur-
gents. We imagine that there is not a
generous heart in all the earth that will
not hear this announcement with delight
and pleasure. The human heart when
it is not distorted by passion, delights IN
mercy. Even General Butler and Mr..
Thaddets Stevens will hear this news
with qualification.
But il is curious that while everybody
assents so readily to pardoning other
people'e rebels, all are not so willing TO
pardon their own rebels The English
