The New Post ONCE
Is 10 be built remains something of a mystery.
1t is daily surrounded by curious crowds, who
catch but glimpse of the proceedings within.
Yesterday, / believe, a large quantity of con-
crete was thrown in, and the foundation will be
laid the latter part of this week or the beginning
OF next. The basin of the old fountain which
used to adorn the middle of the space to be
covered by the Post Office is at present being
used as huge mortar, in which the cement to
be used in the building of the edifce is being
ground. | might add that the fence is being
rapidly placarded over with advertisements
among which the moral story-paper publisher
Bonner, holds a prominent place. Meanwhile
suppose the Common Council who did not hap
pen to have finger in that pie, should order
the fence to be taken down, who would be the
sufferer thereby-the lessee who has paid his
fifteen thousand dollars for the exclusive privl-
lege of pasting bills upon it, or could he fall
back upon the Federal Government? Here is a
Blackstonian question for the civic casuists of
the law to quarrel over.
Retaliation.
Thomas McCready, former employe of
Booths theatre was recently discharged from
some cause or other, and continued to nourish
against the management spite which found
expression day or two ago. He made his way
into the building by the Sixth avenue entrance,
and, reaching the stage, advanced to the fire
butt" turned on the water, and inundated the
stage and some of the scenery. One of the
watchmen happened to hear the noise, rushe
on the stage, turned off the water, and turne
on the intruder, who was subsequently take
before the jefferson Market Police Court and
committed for trial in default of $500 bail
The City Hotels
are crowded with birds-of-passage from the
watering-places. The fashionable aviaries at
Long Branch, Cape May, and Newport are de-
pleted, and the season of 1869 belongs to the
past already.
A night or two ago the very interesting chill
dren known as
The Frankie Family
gave o musical Soiree at Mr.. Caret's French
saloon, on Broadway, below Tenth street. They
consist of five children ranging between the
ages of seven and fourteen, and play exceed
ingly well upon the violin and the piano. Among
the guests present were Mr.. Max Maretzek and
Mad'lle Sangal the ddnseuSe, who takes an in
terest in everything musical, and does not exer-
else her voice the less because she cultivates
her legs the more. After the concert the COM
pany, which consisted of thirty-seven, all told
including that inevitable newspaper man."
without whom no assemblage of the kind is
complete-sat down to collation. at which
Rhine wine and champagne were not altogether
wanting, and a moderate degree of elevatedness
was not deemed totally worthy of censure.
WalIack's
opens next Wednesday evening, with most of
the old members and q few new ones. Miss
HenHques assumes the place so long and so
pleasantly filled by Miss Rose Eytinge. Effie
Germon is member of the troupe. She has
found out that New York appreciates her better
than Philadelphia, and she is free from the petty
prosecutions of anonymous detractors. The
principal new appearances will be confined to
Mr.. Charles Wyndham, Miss Henriques, and
Miss Louisa Moore.
house divided against itself cannot stand.
Such house is that at No. 40 East Twenty
third street, New York city, which, upon con-
sultng the metropolitan directory will be found
to have opposite its name on the printed page
the name of Susan B. Anthony, publisheress
of the Reuolution. In fact, there is
war to the knife-I should say to
the scissors--among the women's rights women.
Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Sarah F. Nor
ton are having it hot and heavy. In the course
of the last meeting Sarah said something at
which Susan took umbrage Thereupon $50
the reporters say) Susan appealed to the better
part of Sarahs nature, and so wrought upon
Sarah's feelings that Sarah took back all the
indignation and sarcasm she had INDUCED in.
In card, however, which appeared in the
Herald Sarah Indignantly denies all this. She
speaks sneeringy-not to say witheringly-
of the personal magnetism" and powerful
persuasion" of Susan, and announces her inten-
ton of making war upon the association until
it is purged of its ten cent spectators, or until
it dies Good for Sarah When she talks thus
she slings printers ink to some purpose. She is
good-looking olive-complexioned, bright
eyed looking little lady, with sharp lips and
a determined manner, calculated to give the
friends of Mr.. Norton the highest possible OPT
Mon of his wife.
am occasionally surprised to find
How Many hfladephians There Are Among
the New York Journalists,
and how well they are invariably doing. How
ever hard may be the times which the stranger
at first experiences among the Bobemians here,
it is his own fault if the hard times last forever.
Not few of these Philadelphia importations
make 800 per week, and with certainly no more
labor than many man transacts for less money
in the newspaper offices of other cities. If he
chooses to be very industrious, to live sooerly
to extend his connections among newspapers, tc
cultivate friendships in business point OF view
to fill his spare time with story and sketcf
writings, and to make the best use of gooC
brains, his income can be increased to any rea
sonable amount ALI BABA.
