principal New York journals. You ask me why.

dozent differen newspaper correspondents left
this city for Halifax. If were to say that they
represented the gifts and graces of the entire
New York press it would be rather unfair to
those who remain behind. They go for the
purpose of doing Prince Arthur upon his arrival
there, and will be joined by about half a
dozen of the most accomplished Bohemians
of Boston.
The New York newspapers have been bearing
very heavily upon Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe
but not one whit more so than that reckless
magaznist deserves. Evidently Mrs Stowe was
bent on achieving sensation and she has sue
ceeded. She has not succeeded, however, in
lifting the veil which concealed the cause of
ByrOn's Separation from his wife.
Calumnies against the dead poet, as dark as, if
not darker than, those presented by Mrs. Stowe,
have heretofore been stealthily breathed in So
cial life; but the author of "Uncle Toms Cabin
enjoys the dishonOr of having been the first to
blazon scandal with the indelibility of printers
ink Few will be so charitable as to suppose
that she has done so for the mere purpose of vim
dicating the character of Lady Byron. The truth
more probably is that Mrs Stowe has written so
much that she has ceased to write attractvely
and well, and that she was bound to make her
self talked of by doing something extremely un-
expected. In the note which the publishers
address to the press they expressly call attention
to Mrs Stoves article in the Atlantic, and de-
clare that the statements therein are as indis-
putable as they are new and startling. Messrs.
Field d Osgood likewise make the singularly
modest request that while they will be please
to have as cOpious extracts as may be wished
made from the article, it shall not be copied
entire, as they are intending to issue it in
another form, and would be prevented from
doing so should the article be printed else
where complete. The World, characteristic
cally disregarding this request prints the entire
article complete The Tribune makes copious
ytracts. The Times condemns it in polite de-
NnciatiOns written by Mr.. Jennings, the husband
Madeline Henriques. Altogether, Mrs. Stowe
Ghieved success more disastrous than any
Railure could have been.
Maretzek hns been Making Bricks
down in Long Island, and now proposes to make
money out of opera in New York. 1t is proba-
bic that Miss Kellogg will be his principal star.
The belief that Clara Louise was going to Eu-
rope, there to have gifts made her by the En-
press Eugenie and the Gar Alexander, and to
divide honors with Patti and Nilsson, was a
pleasant one-but it was a delusion 1t would
have been glorious to think that in her Ameri-
can art had triumphed that as lovely an organ
had been sent forth by New York was ever
created in Italy or Sweden. That glory, how
ever, we are denied and l only hope that Max
Maretzek will be us successful during the forth
coming season in building up the houses at the
Academy as he has been successful at Long
Island in providing the material for houses there
If his bricks, however, are of the Egyptian kind
that can't be made without straw, am afraid
they will remain unmade, for Miss Kellogg can't
provide him with the straw.
The accounts which the English papers give
us of
''FOrmOsa''
are not favorable to that DRAMA which is to be
produced next week for the first time in this
country. The most popular engagements made
at any theatre in the city will probably be those
of Miss Bateman and Mr.. jefferson. Rip Van
Wrinkle has now been presented for three weeks
to unabated audiences. When three weeks more
have elapsed we shall be expecting Miss Bate
man again, presenting our old favorite Leah
with that chastened eXaltation of sentiment
which the experiences of wifehood so often
confer. ALI BABA.
