A Disgusting Exhibition.

From the N. I. Tribune, January zoI
10 accordance with public announce
ment duly made in several sporting pa
pers, wager of q rather novel and de.
cidedly bestial character was decided
yesterday afternoon in stable near the
intersection of Jefferson and Division
streets. Two weeks ago bet was made
between two well-known "sports," one
from the Seventh Ward and tho other
from the Tenth, that certain notorious
g0urm and would eat three dozen hard
boiled eggs, without drink of any kind,
within the space of thirty-six minutes
A lager beer saloon near the corner of
Division and Norfolk streets was the
place first designated, but the owner per-
emptorily objected, so it became neces-
sary to adjourn to a stable. Only the
champion gluttop, betting parties, the
chosen umpire, and dozen conspicuous
patrons of the ennobliug arts were per-
mitted to be present At o'clock pre-
cisely the word go" was given, and
with electrical rspidity two eggs were
bolted, but as suddenly the eater stopped,
aud protested that the eggs had been
" soaped that is, boiled to clammy
state which had been expressly stipu.
lated against. The umpire tasted, and
declared the objection well taken, and
ordered forty new eggs to be procured
and boiled under his personal supervi-
sion. At 3 o'clock the "sport" was re-
sumed. The first seventeen eggs were
bolted whole, in fourteen and quarter
minutes. The eighteenth stuck fast in
the throat; the operator gulphed pain
fully, but the obstruction would not stir.
The natural moisture of the throat was
gone, and soldered iron could not adhere
more firmly than did the glutinous egg
to the parchsd throat. The sufferer
gulphed and strained in vain. He seized
the iron handle of the saucepan which
contained the boiled eggs, and was about
TO inject the obstruction, when the oppo-
site party called foul" The umpire,
with extraordinary judicial perspicacity,
rendered his decision-that the operator
might inject or eject at pleasure by me-
chanical aid, but the eggs so injected or
elected would not count. He went on to
give his reasons, and got to the third
ly," when the suffocating wretch, now
purple in the face as the gills of male
turkey, eyes distended outside their
sockets, breathing stertorous, bolted the
recalcitrant egg with the handle Of the
saucepan. Seventeen regular eggs and
blank in sixteen and three-quarters
minutes. The eater sank into chair
entirely exhausted, with stomach in a
state. After two minutes
rest, three more eggs were bolted in
manifest pain, eyes running water, and
the whole frame twitching spasmodi-
eslly. Twenty-four eggs in twenty-five
and the operator throws up the
ssonge and is taken away by his back
srs. The amount of the wager was $50.

The Remarkable Robbery of the Park Bank.

On Saturday morning, short time
after the opening OF the Park Bank, q
pile of $l00, 900 in bank notes lay on
desk, ready for distribution to the tellers,
to be used in the business of the day.
The only shield from the grasp of any
thief that might attempt to steal it was
a sheet OF heavy plate glass, such as is
commonly in use in banking houses.
Between and 10 o'clock, while the
clerks were preparing for business, three
men entered the bank. After taking a
survey, two Of them went outside and
kept watch. The third man then un-
wrapped an iron hsnd-shield, weighing
about ten pound, and about the size of
pot cover, with projection in the center
Of two inches in length. Using his right
hand, he shattered the glass at Q single
blow, and, through the opening thus
made, sDstched from the pile of notes
1906. He sprang from the bank, and
handed his prize to an accomplice cut
side, who ran down Ann street, pur-
sued by Ae,srs: BonDy and Ryder
Of the bank. The chase was con-
iiuued ho,ly through Nassau and
Fulton streets TO Dutch street, where the
whole Of the money was dropped. 1t
was picked up by Mr.. Ryder, while Mr..
Barry continued the pursuit, and finally,
aided by the police, captured his man in
Maiden lane. The one who smashed the
glass had escaped In the confusion. The
prisoner, on being taken before Justice
Bowling, described himself as Edward
C. Pintou, twenty-five years of age,
carman, a native Of Canada, and resident
of Albany. On complaint Of Mr.. Kitchen,
President of the bank. he was committed
for trial. A colored woman, who was
cleaning the bank windows, said that she
saw several men lingering about the
bank for at least half an hour before the
robbery, and that one of them had par
eel under his arm. This, probably, was
the iron shield. The bank employs a
private detective officer; but at the time
of the robbery he was employed on other
business for the officers, and could not be
on the alert for thieves-New York

word then said to him, Tell the en-
emy who we are, for we must not strike
him in disguise, and when you have done
so, give him the broadside Kell now
sang out in his powerful clarion voice,
through his trumpet, This is the Con-
federate States steamer Alabamar and
turning to the crew, who were all stand
ing at their guns-the gunners with their
sights on the enemy and lockstrings in
hand-gave the order to fire Away
went the broadside in an instant, our lit
tie ship feeling, psrceptibly, the recoil of
her guns. The night was clear. There
was no moon, but sufficient starlight to
enable the two ships to see each other
quite distinctly at the distance of half q
mile or more, and state of the atmos-
phere highly favorable to the conduction
of sound. The wind was blowing in the
direction of the enemy's feet As o
matter, of course, our guns awakened
announcing very distinctly to the Fede-
raj Admiral-Bell, Southern man who
had gone over to the enemy-that the
ship which he had sent out to chase the
strange sail had fight on her hands.
He Immediately, ,as we afterward learned,
got under way with the Brooklyn, his
flagship, and two others of his steamers,
and came out to the rescue.
"Our broadside was returned instant
ly; the enemy, like ourselves, having
been on his guard, with his men stand
ing at their guns. The two ships, when
the action commenced, had swerved in
such a way that they were now headed in
the same direction, the Alabama fighting
her starbosrd broadside, and her an
tagonist her port broadside. Each ship,
as she delivered her broadside, put her
self under steam, and the action became
a running fight in parallel lines, or nearly
so, the ships now nearing and now sep
areting q little from each other. My men
handled their pieces with great spirit and
commendable GOODNESS, and the action
was sharp and exciting while it lasted,
which, however, was not very long, for in
Just thirteen minutes after firing the first
gun, the enemy hoisted light and fred
an off gun as signal that he had been
beaten. We at once withheld our fire,
and such cheer went up from the brazen
throats of my fellows as must have as
tOulbucu even cAhu IL nc hoo hOetd
it. We now steamed up to the beaten
steamer, and asked her captain, formally,
if he had surrendered. he replied that
he had. / then inquired if he was in
want of assistance, to which he responded
promptly that be was, that his ship was
sinking rapidly, and that he needed all
our boats. There appeared to be much
confusion on board the enemys ship;
officers and crew seemed to be apprehen-
sive that we would permit them to drown,
and several voices cried aloud to us for
assistance at the same time. When the
captain Of the beaten ship came on board
to surrender his sword to me, l learned
that had been engaged with the United
States steamer Hatteras, Captain Blake.
OF course the Alabama promptly gave
the required assistance, and, in the lam
guage of Captain Bakes official report,
every living being was safely transferred
to the deck of the latter vessel"

Injury to the Orange Crop in Florida.

David Clark, Esq. of this city, has re-
ceived letters from Florida which bring
the unwelcome information that the
orange crop in that State was entirely
destroyed by severe frost which swept
over the State on Christmas night,
though the trees are reported uniojured.
One letter is from Jacksonville and the
other from Key West. Such severe
weather was never before known in that
quarter. The St. Johns river was frozen
over for distance of seventy feet from
the shore, this being the first time that
ice has been seen in the river. The dam
age, estimated by dollars, by the loss of
the orange crop, can hardly be computed.
Mr. Clark, as is generally known here, is
an owner of very large number of
trees-seversl thousands, we believe
and this disappointment to him, saying
nothing of the loss, is, of course, very
great. Hartford Conn Courant, 2lst.

Rlopemsnt in High Life-A Brooklyn Sem
sation,

The quiet neighborbood Of Plymouth
Church and Brooklyn flights was thrown
into excitement on Saturday by genu-
inc sensation-an elopement in high life
The principals are the wife Of a cotton
broker in Broad street, New York, and
son of wealthy grain merchant of Chi
cago. The woman was Baltimore belle,
but made, as it appears, bad metal. About
eighteen Uonths ago she was wooed and
won, and was married at her fathers
house. The couple boarded awhile in
New York, but firing of this kind of liv-
ing, they hired house on Hicks street,
Brooklyn, where they resided very COM
fortably and happily, visiting and being
visited by friends from all quarters.
Among the visitors was Mr.. T, an
intimate friend Of the husband, who
treated him as a brother. After re-
peated calls, T found his attachment
to his friends wife and his love for her
society growing warmer. and as the
sequel showed, she generously recipro-
Gated. The faithful husband doubted
not his wife's fidelity nor his friends in
tegrity until he read the following note,
left on his table on Saturday afternoon:
SATURDAY MORNING.
"DEAR CHARLIE: / must to-day bid
you goodbye forever. To-day / leave
your house, never again to return. l
cannot help it. Fer long time have
loved ia in my heart, and / know he
loves me. When this reaches you 1 will
be on my way across the sea. Your
once loving TEREsE."
The husband at once made inquiries
at several of the steamship Offices, and
ascertained that his wife and her para
mour had sailed for Europe on the
steamer City of Antwerp. The wife
took with her jewelry valued stabout
$4,000 and a number Of other vauables,
end sbous $4,000 in money Nsw

The Legislature of the State of Della
ware have elected to the United States
Senate the twoBsyards- and son
the father to fill the unexpired term Of
Governor Salisbury; the son to succeed
the father. There has never, we believe,
been a case precisely similar to this in
the history of the country. There were
two Dodges in the Senate at the same
time-father and son-but one repre-
sented the State of Wisconsin, and the
other the State of Iowa. In this instance
the father and son are elected by the
same legislative body to represent the
same State. What is still more remsrk-
able is that the immediate ancestor Of the
Bayards-the father of the present Sen
ator-wss likewise member of the SEN
ate; and his elder son, Richard 81. Bay
ard, who died within twelve months,
served in the United States Senate at in
terva,s from 1886 to l845. Thus there
have been four Senators in this one
family, representing the State of Della
ware. The youngest of the line, Thomas
f. Bayard, who takes his place next
March, is said TO be an eminent lawyer,
and to possess capacity and acquire
ments rejecting credit on the distin-
guished family of which he is member.

The Remains Of Albert Sidney Johnston.

MAssIILos. January %, 1863.
SIR: / noticed it stated in your paper
of Saturday, 23d instant, that Albert
Sidney Johnston and Lowell 81. Rousseau
rest side by side in the New Orleans
cemetery. This is mistake, for / saw
the remains of A. 8. Johnston taken from
the vault of the ST. Louis cemetery, at
New Orleans, and forwarded to Texas,
where his family reside, for final inter.
meut. think this is no mistake, as
followed the procession from the ceme-
terry to the Texas Railroad ferry, dis
iance of about two miles. The procession
was very silent one, caused by the
order of General Sheridan, prohibiting
any demonstration whatever, not even
the tolling Of bells. This was in the
month of February or March, 1867.
The following rebel Generals were pail
bearers: Generals Bragg, Beauregard,
Buckn.r, Longstreet, Hood, and Lee, OF
