From Our o,Un Correspondent

Thanks to Judges and justice, the fight be-
tween Wormald and O'Baldwin has not come
of, and these giants of the prze-ring have had
an opportunity of losing muscle in station
houses, and of testing their powers of endurance
in other ways than by blows and knocks.
Whatever differences exist between these men
are not, or at least ought not, to be of public
interest, though must say Wormal rs appear
ance in court yesterday was the occasion Of a
sort of silent ovation being rendered to him,
such as only he and his kind know how to
enjoy.
The great success which Fanny Janauschek
has met with here is in part due to her being
Jewess, and, therefore, upheld by the jewish
public. Bogumil Dawison's success here was
partly due TO the same reason. The German
actor Heladricks, who is at present aging at
the Stadt Theatre, is not Jew, and his audi
ences are smaller than those of Dawison's were
or than Fanny Janauschek's are. That lady
most emphatically has her hands full. 1 should
not be surprised to hear that she supervised the
wording OF even her advertisements. The same
simplicity pcrvades them that characterlzes all
her announcements. She seems to have come
to this country indomitable, by the very cou-
sciousness of her own genius. She has
not depended upon any of the tricks whereby
cautious managers are wont to WOO success
Her triumphs, as l said before, are partly du
to the fact OF her being a Jewess, and upheld b.
Jewish patrons. But the great secret of he
triumph is her absolute indefdtigability. "Katha-
rine OF! Russia role which she has been play
ing for the last few nights, gives broader and
more comprehensive view of her varied power
than any other she has yet assumed. If l say
80 much about public amusements, it is because
they are this season engrossing more enthusi'
astic amount of patronage than ever before.
Even sober. minded plodders rush into them at
night with as much relish and abandon as they
apply to their respective businesses during
the daytime For instance. on Wednes-
day night upon Tostee's reRtree at
Pixies Opera House, she could not have had a
moro superb ovation had she been Mime Schnei-
der herself. Such shouts aud 6rauos such a
general uprising and waving of handkerchiefs'
are seldom accorded to any singer, much less to
30 small one as Tostee. But it is the wicked
nesses of the actress rather than the voice OF
the singer that the people applaud. As the
"Duchess," Rose Bell continues to be something
OF failure. 1t is no doubt very wrong for
people not to prefer the chaste dignity of the
diua at the French Theatre to the witching
wiles of the Pixies Opera House divinity.
Dir. Grau appears to have had some
trouble among his prime donne already if the
ominous change in his public announcements is
TO 60 for anything. The explanation given
few days ago that Rosa Bells Duchess was to be
withdrawn, In order to produce that of Des-
claIzas, has been superseded by the announce
ment that the latter ladys debut will occur next
week in Geneuieoe de BrGbont. The farther
prime donne are apart the better for all hands,
vide Foster in New York and Irma in St. Louis.
Miss Kellogg's ovations are to come off Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday evenings next week. A
little girl named Henrietta Markstein is to debut
as a pianist some time next month at Steinway
Hall.
An earthquake fund for the relief of the suf-
ferers by the recent South American earth
quakes has been attempted here. Subscription
lists for the purpose are open at the offices OF
all the principal bankers, although so far 1t
appears that the charity of the classes who are
usually looked to fill subscription lists is, as
Sheridan would say, of that domestic sort which
never stirs abroad
During tie hottest month OF summer, when
public amusements were dull, the Broadway
pedestrian might possibly have noticed placard
in the vicinity of the Museum OF Anatomy,
bearing the announcement that one OF the most
wonderful phenomena of nature, VIZ a live
headess rooster, was on exhibition, and to be
numerous was the audience which was in the
habit of assembling am not prepare to state
but II doubtless seemed TO Henry Richard
son, the headlessrooster proprietor, the
means of faring plentifully II not suMp
tu0usy; and the number Of roosters
he sacrificed to this most cruel and disgusting
business has not been an item of great expense
as they averaged an existence of over month
The beasts mode Of manufacturing headless
rooster was lows:-To cut off the bill,
to pierce out the eyes. and to remove portion
of the brain, and, finally, to cut open the skin
of the neck and hide the head within 1t. For q
humber of months this wretch has been sub
sisting on this business of cruelty. He has at
length been arrested, though not, believe, at
the instigation of Mr.. Bergh, and committed iu
default of bail. The thoughtless throngs who
paid their twenty-five cents, and enjoyed the
spectacle of ''nature's latest phenomenon in the
animal kingdom" are only less culpable than
the despicable and wretched criminal.
The number of arrests made in this district
during any one quarter does not give the most
fattering idea ofthe morality and peaceableness
of New York. For instance, during the quarter
ending with, July 81, nearly $4,000 arrests were
made, of which onefourth were females and
one-third were citizens OF the United States.
OF offenders against property there were $500.
against person and the public peace, 2400. The
amount of property restored to owners through
the instrumentality of the police is estimated al
little over $2SO,eOO. Nothing is known in
