THE SLEIGHING FIZzLE.

After such magnificent day on the runners as
Saturday proved to be it was natural to expect q
repetition of it yesterday and robes were busted,
horses carefully groomed and sletghs FURNISHED up
to the highest point of art. But alas! for human
hopes. The sun made sad havoc with the snow
and robbed 1t Of its immaculate color, leaving
slush and mud in its place. The few venturesome
ones that braved the consequences and started
parkwards were soon Disguised with the enter
prise and had hard time Of it getting home. A
sail on the waters of the Sound, when the wind
Unexpectedly falls and "a painted ship upon
painted sea" Is the metaphorical result, or race
day at Jerome PARK when the noodgates above
to that fashionable centre, can scarcely be pro-
ductive OF more disappointment and chagrin than
ludicrous features In this line yesterday.
One man started In high gee with FLOODED
team OF fancy steppers from the Vicinity OF Union
handle the lines and make record on the road.
The ominous rasping OF the runners on the pave
ment and the general disconsolate outlook soon
cooled down his ambition. and by the time ne
reached the Park he "wanted to go home" How
to get there was the question, and one not easily
answered, Then followed q series OF manPuvres
OF the lacking order that would have puzzled the
most experienced New York pilot. The scanty
as buoys IL the sinuous channel through which
the sleigh was navigated. The avenues were
carefully Stunned, and only the least frequented
fering swain hailed sleigh that toiled along with
inquiry to the whereabO bouts OF the next patch
OF snow, but seldom received an encouraging
reply. When trip from the Park to Union square
necessitates lacking from Filth to Eighth avenue
almost the idea OF pleasure and enjoyment is not
easily recognizable.
It would be well to wait for another fall Of snow
before risking ones neck horses and sleigh on the
hard pavement OF the city. Besides, the young
lady who forms such an attractive feature of
sleighing establishment is sure to pout and per-
haps 'get mad" and then rival becomes danger.
Gus. Trucks not being out on Sunday, it was
necessary for the sieighing parties to get home on
runners the best way they could. And terrible
time thev had of IL.

OF O dozen or two which the pair OF worthless had
smoked Several burglars tools were also found

locked up in default of $500 bail charge Of en-
bezzlement. He has been employed by Thomas
Lynn OF No. 90 Crosby street. for couple Of years.

honesty. On Thursday last he was sent to collect
a bill for $40 on Brown Brothers, OF No. 667 Eighth
avenue. He got the money and Tell from the paths
OF rectitude. The day was colo and he went into

Comptroller IN ais latest report has devoted con,
uuereole space TO the subject OF taxation anu
assessment He 10 largely right in bis expressed
views from bis standpoint, but there Is very much
considered that the tax on mortgages imposes a
double burden on real estate In this State. From
TINS report something may be learned as 20 ae ~

ulative values.
From what has been already said 1t win readily
THE RENT MARKET
oners no hope OF that much desired consunma INA

ish hap hazard policy of the government COMES
directly home to the workingman, wnetner ne Do
the panic or meet its results by the issue OF larger
amounts OF currency Mr.. richardson mas prougnt
about an lnnation that reduces the income Oh sx
months ago very materially. In other words, the
value or purchasing power OF a greenoack dollar,
with $s56ooo.ooo outstanding, Is dinerent rom IT'S

Is q simple sum IN proportion. or the rule

The inference Is plain that rents must go up in
stead OF coming down, in the face too, Of less ability
TO meet them. SO much for the financial admins

perhaps given SO much thought to the moral that
Is forgot morality had practical basis. Effort has
been made more than once In this column TO call

The Jourdan VS.. Jourdan breach OF promise case

this was perfected the defendants attorney settled
the case for small amount, ignoring the plain

Nelson week ago and obtained an order to show
cause why the satisfaction Of Judgment should
not be set aside and the plainuns at
torney allowed to proceed to collect his
costs. The order was made returnabe
yesterday morning wnen plaintiffs counsel stated
the case. Defendants attorney argued that the
papers should have been served on the defendant
personally, but the Court held differently and
granted an order setting aside the settlement on
the ground that 1t was fraud the rights OF the
plaintiffs attorney and allowing the latter to
issue execution for his costs, 1870, thus holding
thata settlement made in this way after Judgment

we'll as Congressional investigation, and
divers minor amusements too numerous to

has gained in an ecclesiastical way. she is
now looming up as the center of sensational
sermons, and will, doubtless, soon have her
solemn and celebrated religious trials

to make Arkansas the center of CUB

one to render her the chief among the

the difference between the weakness of the
worldlings and the strength of the elect.

Diphtheria Epidemic in New Yor|
From the Sun, 6th.]

Since the beginning Of the year diphf-
ria has been epidemic in this and adiayt
cities, the morality from the malady
ing been more than double that recorR
for the same period last year. Tue Hedh
Boards records shows that since the 2h
of December, 1873, COB persons diedpf diA-
iberia, as against 26S in the CORRESPONDING
period of 1928.
Physicians with whom Sun eporter
conversed Yesterday agree in calKg the
disease epidemic. They attribute il to the
long continued humidity of the ILLINOIS,
phere. They describe the malad as a
pustulous liberation of any mucoud MEM
brane. The point in which it is bualEy
developed is the throat, where it fams a
false membrane, and unless checkd IN
time, this causes a closing of the ar pas-
sages.
Among the cases of death last week were
those Of five of the family of the late Lewis
Benjamin, of Canal street and Broadway.s
Physicians differ concerning the tre4s-
ment of the disease, but all agree that IS
yet there is no specific remedy for it,. Sore
prescribe an inhalation of lime vapor, Sr
warm vapor and strong doses of tincture
chloride of iron ard sulphate of qninine;
others prefer an application of nitrate d
silver to the liberated part; still otheIl
favor disinfectant application, suchas car
bOlic acid or permanganate of potash. AZ

as the disease is always acc0lnpa
