NEW YORK, April 2, 1870.
Rich Editors.
All editors are not the poor devils which they
are too often represented to be- Rich ones thrive
rank in New York, and are frequent enough to
make one sometimes forget the hundreds of
poor ones. The editor-proprietors of all the
principal papers are men who are well to do.
They live in brown stone, they dress in broad
cloth, they assume fine linen, and sooner or
later arrive at the happiness of residing Fifth
avenue. The latest editor who has achieved
this felicity is Mr.. Hugh j. Hastings, of the
Commercial Advertiser. One day this week he
paid siXty-five thousand dollars for mansion
on that blissful avenue, and has since been
offered ten thousand dollars more for it, but was
60 well contented with his bargain as to refuse.
MIR. Fosters Board Bill.
There surely ought to have been enough
money realized out of the TiCelUe Temptations;
or, The Lost Son, by this time, to defray the
trivial expenses of Mr.. j. G. Fosters board in
the suit brought against him by Mrs Mary
Tisdale. The Brooklyn landlady is evidently in
different to the fate of the "Lost Son" 30 that
she don't lose her money. The examination has
been adjourned from day to day until yesterday,
when Mr. Cole, the treasurer, was asked few
questions, whence it transpired that the agree
ment between Foster Deverna, and McDonough
on the one part and Mr.. Cole and the Grand
Opera House Company on the other part, was
that the three frst-named gentlemen were to
receive one-half the net profits of the entire
representation after deducting $1,000 per week
for expenses and internal revenue tax.
CarlOtta PATHS Farewell.
People who 20 to Rio Janeiro sometimes re-
turn, but this does not seem likely to be the
case with Miss Carlotta Patti. After few fare
well concerts here she will proceed to that
Brazilian metropolis, whence, after having made
all the money that is to be made and accepted
all the presents that fall in her way, she departs
for Europe, where she can undoubtedly make
more money than in this country. "Why does
she come here?" may be asked. Partly from
the novelty of the thing partly from the desire
to conquer fresh provinces q will not bring in
Alexander, that cry-baby conqueror), but GER
tainly not with the expectation of making more
money than in the old country.
Mrs. Grove
sailed for England last Thursday from this port,
but intends returning here in the autumn for
the purpose of producing Pietra, which was
promised but withheld last season. When last
saw her Roman-vsaged pa he told me that from
these garish lights (see Dickens farewell speech
she intended vanishing for but few months
The aged P. looked extremely WELL but cam
make up his mind how to invest his money
Upon arriving in England Mrs. Grove intends
resting for few months at her country sea
near Bristol.
Parepa-ROsa
ends her season here tonight. Of all the operas
in which she has appeared during the thre
weeks of the season, The Marriage of Figar
remains the favorite, perhaps because of thos
involuntarily comic scenes in which the large
ness of Euphrosyne is brought into ridiculou
contrast with the littleness of Miss Rose Hersee
Repenting Leisure.
Repenting at leisure is what wretched an
betrayed young woman is doing who has jus
had an experience in the Spieger House which
if her extreme foolishness have any sediment
of virtue left in it, will haunt her to her dyin
day. Not long ago she was allured by an advel
tisement in one of the newspapers to the effeC
that a gentleman of pleasing exterior and ampl
fortune wished to correspond with young lad
with view to matrimony. The advertisement
closed with the request that correspondents n
plying would address their replies to No.

fortune. Her friends appear to have jumpe
with her, for they encouraged her in her CORE

her money to come to this city with, and fitte
