mont is now at Newport, where a jew may
claim highest respect. The only park in
that famous watering place is named after
q Jew (Judah Truro who bequeathed a
handsome legacy TO the city. Belmont
will remain there until the marriage of his
daughter, which will take place in Septem-
Der.
oTHER CHURCH NOTES.
The Collegiate Reformed churches will
remain closed during the heated season.
One of these is in pastoral care of Talbot
in Chambers street, who is one of the clear
est writers in the city. The marble col
legiate church is in charge of the eloquent
Ormiston, who is now in Scotland. During
part of his absence the pulpit will be kept
supplied. The FOrty-eighth street collegl-
ate was till recently under Ludlow's pas
toral care, and since his resignation the pull
pit has been ably supplied. | mention this
church as a good opening to any ambitious
divine. The salary is So, 900, and you will
be made q d. D., in three months, if you
are not one already. Any one who may
desire to be a candidate may address the
consistory and mention all real or lmagin-
sry qualifications. Let no one be deferred
by any i'll considered modesty. Check is
the order of the day, and an $4,000 pulpit
is worth an effort. Speaking of clerical
vacations, the colored people form no ex-
ception. st. Phillips, colored Episcopal,
will be closed during August, and its rector
(AttwelD will visit Saratoga OF Martha's
Vineyard. The Abyssinian (%colored Bap-
| tist) will also be closed at the same time,
and its pastor (Spelman) will patronizc
| Saratoga. These colored churches have a
very satisfactory season for suspending
services. A large portion of their cOngre-
cation is composed of ~coachmen, who ac-
company their masters to watering places
and other retreats.
HALLS CHURCH.
John Hall is among the European exc
dus. his pulpit being supplied by a preach
er from Pennsylvania named Crawford.
This church has a very fiEe Sabbath school
and James Fraser, leather dealer in the
Swamp, has recently been elected superin-
tendent. Among the leading men in the
congregation is Bonner of the Ledger,
whose wealth and liberality give him a po-
| sition in the church society. Fisk (of Fisk
& HATCH is another leading name, but the
| Stuarts, Robert L., and his brother Alex
ander, are more particularly the financial
pillars.
UNCLE PETER.
References have been occasionally made
in these letters to that eccentric but anna
bic capitalist, Henry Goelet. l regret
much to add that be is now in a decline
which affects both mind and body. "Un-
Gle Peter has for nearly three score and
ten years been an ha6ituo of Broadway,
but he is no longer to be seen there. His
tool shop in the basement is also forsaken,
and the plump Durham COW misses her
masters's wonted visits. "Uncle Peter"
is suffering from symptoms that afford but
little hope of recovery. AS a fancier of
fine fowls he was alone in this city, but in
the dairy line he has had two or three riv-
ais. In point of giving milk to his friends,
however, he stood unrivalled, and those
who were sick were never refused. There
are worse men in the world than 'Uncle
Peter"
YACHTING NOTES.
Hardly a year has passed since the casu-
atty to the Mohawk, but the unfortunate
Garner is forgotten. Thus do even the
richest of the community clip out of re-
membrance. The only point that reviyes
the Mohawk is the fact that William Astor
is now building a yacht of larger size than
that unfortunate vessel. 1t will be finished
in a month, and will cost a quarter of a
million. The entire length is to be lao
feet, with 30 feet breadth of beam, and
nearly IL feet draft OF water. The name
is not announced, and | beg leave to sug-
gest that it be called 'the Reredos," which
will help keep the Trinity church Job be-
fore the public. Louis Lorrilliard, one of
the opulent tobacco family Of this city, il
building a steam yacht for Newport use.
He is now the commodore Of the Newport
pacht club, and will show his associates the
neatest vessel of the kind ever constructed.
A large number of yachts are now cruising
in the sound, which is a good place to train
men to their work. Yachting is the most
healthy and unobjectionable of all the
amusements sought by the richer classes.
MATsRLL.
The mortality among the magnates Of the
police has been Of a very peculiar charac
ter. Within a few years Superintendent
Jourdan and three police commissioner
have died, either in office or shortly aftel
its close. These men were Oliver Char
lick. Hank Smith and G. w. Matsell. The
latter had a more practical knowledge o.
the inner workings of crime than any maj
on record. 1t was in his power to MAKE
revelations of a most startling character
Such men, however, get used to carrying
secrets, especially as they are often vel
