HORACE GREELEYS DA LIGHTERS.

New YORK Correspondence of the st, Louis Times.
Mrs. Cleveland, the sister of Horace
Greeley, has for years given during the
winterl afternoon receptions, which have
been very popular among literary and
artistic people. So famous have these
gatherings been that it has become al
most necessary if one would be at all
known among the literary people of this
city to have the entreeto Mrs. Cleveland's
house. Since Mr.. Greeley's death his
two daughters have resided with Mrs.
Cleveland, and, as they are beautiful and
accomplished girls, they have outshone
the relative, and now these much-sought
receptions are known as Greeley affairs,
or the Misses Greeley lat home" on
Tuesdays. Your correspondent eagerly
accepted an invitation to see the literary
lions, and the blue-stockings of this city
last Thursday afternoon. A cat, you
know, may look at king and queen
as well. From three o'clock till seven
there was constant coming and going,
two rooms and the corridor being all the
time comfortably full. 1t is purely an
intellectual feast, there being no refresh.
ments whatever. Mrs. Cleveland, her
two daughters Zone of them an authoress)
and the Misses Greeley we're constant in
their attention to their guests, conversing
in turns with all with admirable ease.
Tho eldest Miss Greeley is very pretty
indeed, both of them are charming, re-
sembling their mother, looking more like
Italian girls with their dark eyes, clear
brunette compilations and chestnut
colored hair, than like Americans or the
daughters of the fair and guileless Hor-
ace. They were dressed in half mourn
ing, and without ornaments of any de-
scription. Neither affects or pretends to
be literary, yet both are well read as to
books, and have travelled extensively,
having made the tour of Europe some
seven or eight times. Occasionally there
was music, song, or some instrumental
performance by one or the other of the
Misses Cleveland, which shall not criti-
else; but most Of the time was spent in
conversation.

The Claude DuVaS Of New York,
Il Messenger Robbed Of $4,000 I" Broad
Dayhghtm a Street Car.

Yesterday was pay day at the Agricul
tural Iron Works, West Fourteenth street
and at half-past eleven o'clock William
P. Goldin, a messenger employed by the
company, was sent to the Eleventh Ward
Bank, Tenth street and Avenue D, to
draw the necessary money. Near the
bank he noticed light wagon containing
four men, but, without paying much at
tention to it, he went in and presented
his check and received from the cashier
$4,000, chiefly in small notes. He then
wrapped them up in a piece of paper,
and making compact bundle, he got
into one of the Belt Line ofcars. At the
same time three rough-looking men also
entered, one of them taking seat beside
him, and the other two getting seats a.
close as possible. The car was full OF
passengers, and as it went on Goldin saw
the same wagon that he had noticed be.
fore following closely. 1t contained but
one man, and another was riding on
horseback near it. While the cars was
passing between Avenues G and d, in
Fourteenth street, being on o-'e of the
uuietest parts of the route, the mcn who
sat next to Goldin snatched the package
of money from his hand, and before any
of the passengers co I'D recover from the
surprise he had escaped from the rear
door. One of his companions followed
him, while the third quietly drew pis-
tol from his pocket, and taking his place
at the door, turned the muzzIe toward
the interior of the car and threatened to
shoot the first who might try to get out.
The passengers were all on their feet
the ladies shrieking, while the gentle
men, who, having recovered from their
first amazement, had crowded forward to
seize the highwaymen, fell back before
the muzzle of the pistol. Meanwhile the
man with the package of money in his
possession threw it into the wagon and
sprang in after it His companion fol-
lowed him, and the Cerberus at the door
of the car jumped off the platform and
was getting in too, but one of the passen-
gers, all of whom had rushed out of the |
car the moment the entrance was clear, |
seized the horse by the bride, and shout
ed for the police Instantly the man
with the pistol returned, and, clubbing |
his weapon, struck the gentlemen with |
it, knocking him down. His assailant
then jumped into the wagon just as an
other of the passengers, reaching over
the side, seized one Of the robbers by the
leg and threw him down in the vehicle;
but the whip was applied to the horse,
and instantly he was going at bl eak-
neck gallop past the iron works, in which
the employees and officers of the company
ran to the doors and windows under the
impression that he was running away,
They were soon undeceived, for the
wagon was hardly out of sight before the
surrounded by the excited
passengers, arrived and told the loss. He
thought that he might identify the rob-
bers, as we'll as the horse and wagon.
