rFRoN DUB OWN CORRESPONDENCE
New YORK, February 18-When Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug of war; when Fenlan
meets Fenian, then comes the whiekey punch; but
when the meeting takes place on Sunday IN Ne"
York, where the Excise Law holds all potent sway,
the whiskey punches have no place in the picture.
Yesterday the Fenians in this city were In q most
extraordinary state Of excitement, caused by the
receipt of the news from the Old Country, that
their brethren in arms were up and In action, and
that the British lion was soon to be pricked with
Irish bayonets till his howlings should be heard
across the broad Atlantic. Around and about the
central Fenian ofica thronged the excited but
whiskey-less SONS of Erin. As Moulr5e endesyor-
ed to make his way through the crowd, he found
himself, from time to time, blockaded on all sides
by these Irish men Of war. Fenians to the right
of l1im-Fenians to the left of him-Fenians in
front, behind, and all around. "Good for Colonel
OCoNNoR," ssFaith, an it's he it is thatu be after
giving John Bull taste Of an Irish bayonet."
sIong life to old Erin, an the devil take the Excise
Law" ssIreland will be free" So spoke the Fenian
prophets, and the crowd grows larger and larger,
and the gallant men grow more excited, and excite
ment brings on fatigue, and fatigue produces thirst,
and, one by -e, or two by two do these Irish
men Of war Withdraw from the crowd, whispering
mysteriously as though asking and receiving So
cret information in relation to certain private en-
frances unknown to the ipholdors of the Excise
Law, and so, anon, are punches srrreptitously I'M
bited by these gallant and thirsty wearers OF the
green. ;.
MAX MARETzEK is determined to give us a short
opera season. Notwithstanding the fact that it is
rather late to begin, as the season proper always
closes about this time. We are to have thirty
opera nights, beginning on the 9TH pro1imo, and
the season will be as brilliant as Short for the best
artists have been engaged, and PARErA, the great
favorite, will hold forth in connection with KILL
Loaa, PooK, NATALIE, TESLA, HAUcK, RoNcoN1 and
STELLA BoNHEuR. The Academy will be fitted up
in more magnificent style than even in it's palmiest
days, and the lovers OF music in general and. all
dledo1n in particular will smile and
be rejoieed. =
It takes thief to catch q thief, but in order TO
hold him after he is caught policeman is rather
convenient than otherwise. Last night, on the
Third Avenue cars, pickpocket was actually rob-
fofo nj
Injunction that there should be honor among
thieves. He was, however, caught in the act, and
was soon in the grasp of policeman, who searched
him and found the pocket-book. But now comes
the most curious part of the aair. When the porte
monnaie was produced ii was recognized bya gen.
tleman present as one which had been stolen from
him on the night previous; wherefore he informed
the policeman Of the fact, and described the bills
it had contaned which, strange to say, we're found
therein, only ten dollars having been spent. The
policeman called for assistance md arrested both
thieves,
On last Saturday evening the first annual com
of the Eclectic Medical College was
held at The hall of the American Institute, and ad-
dresses we're delivefed by HORACE GaEE1Er and
others This is q semi-alopathic and semi-horne-
opathic schools species Of on the fence arrange
ment-neither fish, flesh nor fowl, and yes mix
ture of them all. The system, however, Of admins
;oring drugs in large or small doses ad E61ans, is
fast growing into popular favor here. ,.<s=l
A large number Of the lamp-ighters here have
found out plan for making money without taking
;he trouble to walk-to make bread by the sweat OF
some one else's brow. They receive ten cents per
amp for lighting the city gas, and have been in
;he habit Of engaging boys to do the job for one
cent. One OF these lazy fellows has one hundred
md ninety lamps in his round, for which he re-
,eyes IS 80 per night, but boy does the work for
1aR price, and the lamp-Ighter enjoys his otiun.
,ns dignate, and pockets 81 80 per night besides.
The powers that be have put a stop to this lazy
arrangement, and hereafter the lamps will not be
lighted by proxy. tae et- ..-s9s =
A man named GROVER lost his wife recently, an

marriage was arrested and 80 was the unhappy
vidower, who is now before court on trial for

The regular theatrical season is fast drawing to
. close. The Merchant of Venice is still drawing
veil at the Winter Garden, where BRoUaHAM will

N forever. WA11AoK is playing Dangerous
Came" which is not dangerous to Encouragement,
Is it draws crowded houses nightly. The other
;heatres arc, perhaps, making something more
han expenses, and business looks dull again.
