LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

From an Occasional Correspondent.
New YORK, March 18th, 1877.
II have not written you for some time,
but as I now have leisure moment I
cannot spend my time more profitable
than to give you the latest news, which I
have gathered from trustworthy sources.
The snow fell IN Friday to the depth Of
seven inches, and the changes of the
weather in this metropolis may be we'll
said to be very uncertain. Clear at early
dawn on Friday, it succeeded in getting
cloudy toward midday, and at one o'clock
the snow began to fall, continuing all the
afternoon and all night, which for March,
however, is considered fair weather.
To-day is ''sit. Patrick's" day, and very
soon we shall hear the rolling of the
drum and the sarill notes of the fife, call
ing together CUR Irish brethren, who, of
course, expect 20 exercise every right Of
American citizenship on this "St. Pat
rick's day in ttse MORN" 1t is amusing
to see the servant girls wearing the favo-
rite "green" shout their necks in the
form Of a bow; however, it is not the first
time, l suppose, that bow (beau) en-
circled their recks. They are a good
and brave set of citizens, nevertheless,
and seem happy to be able to enjoy the
privilege of celebrating their much be-
loved Saints dsy on American soil.
The latest sensation, and a novel one,
too, is the great excitement caused by
the reported "cures" effected by the
means of "blue glass;" It has become
mania. 1t is particular adapted to the
cure of all nervous diseases, and is per.
feet cure for "baldheadness." I am ex-
pecting to takS out a patent for "blue
glass" hats, tina; is blue glass yentilators,
which will find 5 ready sale, no doubt, as
the cure for balaheadness will stand out
as the most prominent feature of the
patent. The action of the "blue ray"
penetrating the ventilator, upon ones
Uranium" will, It is believed, (if it does
not furnish sueerabundance of brains,)
be highly productive of some good; be-
sides sure means of keeping the wearer
of this peculiar hat in healthful and
happy condition. Enclosed you will find
q "blue glass journal" printed in blue,
the contents of which are interesting, as
it explains, to some extent, the theory of
the effects of the "blue ray" 1t is said
to have wonderful effect upon vegetable
life, and hence invaluable to the hus-
bandman.
If business Ia dull in your quiet little
villsge-and I understand that you have
had some failures recently, which re-
gret to learn-oaiy try the cure of blue
glass; it will cresse some excitement and,
perhaps, as -ons of Sankey's songs runs,
"Revive us agaia." In many places in
the city, and particularly in Fifth Ave
nue., the glass ia suspended before the
windows. We ysould not suppose that
this peculiar rania had reached the
Capital, yet it appears that it has. There
has been proposition made, we learn, by
contractors from New York, to cover the
dome of the Capitol with blue glass,
which would be a good idea, IF through
its influence it would supply the members
of Congress witt, little more wisdom,
in order that when another Electoral
Commission is appointed, some Of its
members will have the wisdom to see
that the numbet of Democrats is equal
the number Of Republicans.
This bring us SOW to the play, "Seyen
and Eight" Which is being enacted at
Tony Pastors, and which is complete
burlesque of this far famed eight to
Seven" Now, in conclusion. let us add
that the sentiment of the people here is
truly one of sympathy for the people of
Louisiana and South Carolina, and de-
mand, with the rest of the country, that
Mr.. Hayes ren,sye the troops from these
States, thereby giving the most popular
and strongest government the chance to
sustain itself. We all acknowledge the
Hampton rs the Legitimate
Governor of tb; State, and anticipate
speedy recognition by the general gov
ernment of the only man who can con-
troll the State at this present critical
crisis, at the same time restoring the
credit of the State and establishing
government.
