"The Republic''
Is sthe name of the new newspaper which yesterday
afternoon burst upon the astonished city. 1t was
hitherto considered that Gotham already boasted
more evening papers than she knew what to do
with, or could support. How the NesOs Cpro-
nounced 'Noo-yezD, the Telegram, and the
Mdat and other one and two-cent evening
papers too small to be remembered, manage to
exist from day to day. is a mystery best under
stood by the respective cashiers. The Re-
public, however, may have come out only to
prove how easy success is with plenty of
money and under proper management; only |
do feel sorry when see any poor devil throwing
away all his little savings on so risky an enter
prise. Look at Ahern, of the Eceltiag Gazette
and Sweetzer, of the EUenjng Mail mot that |

William Young, who started Ere,y Afternoon,

gentleman sank $4,000 in that short space.
Therefore, | can exercise the compassion above

Delmonico, by-the-way, is reported to keep

in which, for many years past he has painfully
and elaborately entered the name, condition, au-
tecedeuts, and description of the personnel of

has gathered many facts about many celebrities,

with bright anecdotes and original reflections
about the possessors of some of the most noted
names in this country and in Europe 1t may
be taken for granted that the true story OF
many a brilliant notabiltty, many fugacious

the SOrosis, or the Opera Bouffers, or General
Grant, or Horace Greeley, or Charles
Dickens, or the Chinese Ambassadors,
and the thousand and young
bloods and fashionable notabilites are not in-
scribed upon those candid pages In this men

that rival establishment of a similar nature is
contemplated up town. The upper portion OF
fifth avenue is chosen as the locality, and a
couple of brown-stoHe mansions have already
zen purchased for the purpose of being con-
srted into one. The dwellers opposite, and on
ither side, swell with rage and republican i'm

On the Fence.
The man who paid $15, 900 for the right to use
the fence surrounding the site of the new Post
Office for advertising medium is making a
good thing of it. If he goes on as he has begun
his profits will not fall far short OF 100000

with his Ledger advertisements. To-day, un
seemly wrappers of brown paper covered them
and the fence is ready for a fresh advertiser
