has been newly decorated and painted in pink
and gold. The best of eating Is to be enjoyed
among the best of upholstery, and you dine off
yiands while reposing on velvet. This change
has not been made before 1t was necessary,
Delmonicos, like Wallack's, has preserved It's
great name without those improvements which
places of small note avail themselves of without
obtaining much additional fame Delmonicos
uptown is shabby but intensely respectable
affair; Delmonico's down not quite SO shaboy
and with little of the respectable nap worn off.
The gold and pink, consequently were needed.

corner of Sixty-ffth street and Third avenue
but it draws the people Notwithstanding. The
backless benches are arranged in the fashion OBJ
served at country performances, and the con-
We tional sawdust of the ring is replaced with
shavings. One of the African lions has been
advertising himself by biting in the shoulder
the interesting gymnast who performs with
them, and Mr.. Bergh is said to be nightly
among the audience for the purpose of seeing
that the animals are compassionately treated.
Suddenly Disappeared.
This is the case with Mr.. George o. Colt,
who vanished out of the sight and knowledge
of his wife, family, and friends more than four
months ago, and was only discovered day or
two since. The place of his discovery is re-
markable, considering the time that has elapsed
since he first disappeared. His body, all
doubled up and past recognition, was discovered
in q little clubhouse in the yard attached to his
own dwelling He had been afflicted with q
complication Of maladies, among which was
heart disease, and it is supposed he died of that
A few days after his disappearance his wife and
family moved to q quarter of the city distant
from where they had been living, and although
oh nf hpr no had frpuunntlv "
called the attention of his mother to the fact
that the body of man was lying across the
lor of an clubhouse, no notice was taken of it
until day or two ago. Then at length the body
was discovered to be that of Mr.. Colt. A strange
coincidence, is it not?
ChucIked Out OF the Window.
Yesterday evening young lady was chucked
out of the window by wealthy gentleman and
obliged to take up her quarters on the piazza.
Her Offense was heinous, and when | mention
what it was you will quite agree with me that
her punishment was very light The miserable
being was n governess in the family of the
wealthy Christian gentleman who is one of the
pillars of st. James Episcopal Church. Besides
transacting her duties as governess she has like
wise nursed and restored to health the wife of
tho wealthy Christian gentleman. Yesterday
she ventured to ask the wealthy Christian gen.
tleman for large amount of salary that was due
her. Some alteration occurred which was
ended by the wealthy Christian gentleman
giving her SO violent push as to precipitate
her out of plate glass window.
The smash was heard across the
road and the distance of several pavemcnts up
and down the street. The young lady managed
to get in the house again, but the wealthy
Christian gentleman again expressed his disap-
probation of her conduct by ejecting her in
similar fashion. The shades of evening began
to close around the scene. SO did a crowd.
Neghbors expressed their sympathies and con-
gratulations, and offered the criminal shelter.
This she refused, however, stationed herself on
the piazza, and, for all l know, remained there
until this morning, for the wealthy Christian
gentleman kept his doors closed, and had posted
sentnels to prevent the re-entrance of the
dangerous character through the smashed parlor
window. The locality where the window
smashing and the young lady chucking took
place is on Ryerson street, between Willoughby
and Myrtle avenues.
MIR. FCchter
has selected next Monday evening week as the
date of his temperance in this city. 1t was at
first intended that he should occupy the Academy
of Music but the French Theatre has since
been determined on. lie is to be supported
there by the same company which was recently
IN y0ur city, commencing with "Claude Mel
notte" and continuing with the 'Corsican Bro
II ers.' His managers want him to play "Oben-
reizer, but will succeed only if they convince
him that they will produce the play well both
with regard to cast and scenery. The por-
tra.ture given season or so ago by Mr. Florence
is said by those who have seen both it and Mr..
Fechters to be weak imitation of the tri-
linguals. The one is described rich oil
painting, the other pale water-color sketch
Mr. Fechter's managers, too, have great
trouble with him in this respect, namely, thai
while the public prefers him in melodrama
he is bent upon appearing in Legitimate tragedy
1t is the same old story over again Of 4 great
artists mistakng his forte. Even Lester Wal
lack believes to this day that there is only one
man living who can play 'llamlet,' and tha
man is Lester Wallack.
Oysters by Telegraph,
rather interesting case is on before Judge
McCunn, of the Superior Court 1t illustrates
the dire effects of illegible handwriting, and i
is brought by couple of dealers in oysters
James A. Young and Robert II. Lools, agains
the Western Union Telegraph Company. Tht
plaintiffs have agents at Norfolk and lately baC
occasion TO telegraph to them with regard tC
their future operations in oysters. They profess
to have written thus Send no more oysters
until further orders" The telegram which reall!
reached the Norfolk agents read "Send as NOR
oysters until further orders" Thinking ther
must he some mistake the Norfolk agents ap
piled to the telegraph operator to repeat tn
message. lie did so, and informed them that
