Mr. Nathan, was productive of consider
able excitement here. The general
impression has been that its various acts
were to be fac-simile representations of
actual occurances, and the synopsis given
of the play, led to the confirmation of
his idea. When it reached the ears Of
the sons of the murdered man, they en-
deavored to ascertain the facts of the
case, but could get no adequate satisfac
ton. At last, after much diffiultv, they
succeeded in being present at rehersal,
but were seen by Mr. Rowe, the author,
who insisted they should leave before the
act they wished to see, had been perform
ed. They sought counsel of Judge Car
dozo,and should the play have any of the
supposed offensive features, an iniunc-
ton will probably be served. The man
ayers claim right to perform history,
alleging that they have recently evhibit-
ed the death of Caesar, but individual
contemporaneous is not generally con-
sidered a subject for the playwright,
when it pictures tragedies, the survivors
of which may be terribly panied by such
a representation Many look upon it
though as merely an advertising dodge
of Messrs Jarret & Palmer.
The recent announcement of Mes
merizing Made Easy" is causing quite
a sensation, and every woman in New
York, married or single, is intent upon
finding how much truth there is in it
1t will burst all the usual masculine
lodges. No more lodge nights, bust
ness in Washington, stock to take. books
to overlook, sick friends, or even pastor
al calls will answer. A few passes and
the obliyous individual will divulge all his
secrets. tits worse than having window
in our hearts, and the man who has thus
dared to provoke the Indignation of
the brave, will, unless he leaves town at
once, undoubtedly be murdered. Itisa
tampering with the undoubted rights of
the sterner sex that cannot be allowed
for moment Female sufferings is q
mere bagatelle compared with it.
The latest efforts of the stalwart officer
in blue, is directed against the poor little
street waits, who do manage to make the
crossings passable; and trust to the gen
erosity of the crossers for some slig
compensation. They are arrested as
vagrants. Now as New York is in such
condition that every woman envives
he man who can wear rubber boots to
his knees and then thrust his pantaloons
into them, ii seems little hard that the
only means that exists of making the
crossings passabl,, should be thus sum
marily removed. Ifthe authorities can
not and will not clean the streets. which
just at present are more like muck
swamp than anything else, then let the
j;.stices fine the first six foot policeman
who arrives with a two foot human bun
die of rags armed with a broom handle
with which he or she has been doing a
small portion of the street commission
ers' duty.
News from over sea arrives to the
effect that the supply of horses is failing
in England and they will have to call
upon American raisers of blood equines,
to supply the deficiency for army pur-
poses, and thus the descendants of some
of the original stock introduced in this
country, may be returned to their ances-
trail soil. However, anything that brings
trade to our shores. will be looked upon
as desirable, and this secondary effect
of the war question. Not only Ameri-
can beef, but American oysters, have
found an appreciatiye market in En-
gland. 4 cargo of Holsters has now been
sent out, but it is not expected that this
will become very heavy export, as the
supply is constantly diminishing, and
the home demand absorbs them. Sal
mon, however, promises to be another
paying article of export, for it isat times
almost drugs in our city markets.
So decidedly superior are the Florida
oranges now acknowledged to be, that
no matter where they come from, it is
difficult to find anything but a Florida
orange in the market. These we have in
great abundance and at fair prices. -
All shades of gray will again be popu-
lar this Spring, in costumes made Of
plain and figured goods.
A slight one-sidedness now appears in
everything. Hair is dressed in one
sided manner, skirts are looped on one
side and straight on the other. Polon-
alses are buttoned on ole side. and floral
garniture follows the general one-sided
fashion
