Modes and the PersianS were not more
intlexible, and at the sanIv time !hey are so
Favored with a Lacedemoni.,n simplicity
that one would not be surprised TO see the
iron money Of LycurgaS taken at the office
and the Russian knot the summary means
of punishment for the dodgers.
1t is very much to be hoped that the
moral atmosphere Of this distinguished
hostelry many remain immaculate and UNI
tainted, and certainly the efforts pat forth
by the managers entite them to unqualified
credit. No boarder will lind shelter beneath
its roof unless she has satisfactory indorse-
mert, ard her father or brother, if they
wish to see her in private, must take her
to the little church around the conner.
Woe betide her if she gets out of work. no
matter even if she can muster the eight or
nine dollars that will be needed TO pay her
board in advance, and should sickness
suPerVene even for single week we might
expect to see the poor house ambulance
carrying her to the benevolent protection
of Bellevue.
If an unfortunate mother should arrive
Ill New York with her family, unless she
has certificate of moral character herself
aud the birth certificates Of every one Of
her children, she is not an eligible boarder.
No second-class affdavits will pass inspec-
ton here, aud the youngest Of her children
must not he under twelve years Of age.

Endorsed, and made several days in advance.

anything like a Thomas cat or a poodle is
by statute especially taOooed. If some
unfortunate wretch with limited ward
robe shonld happen TO wash a pocket hand

penitentiary could expire the oifense, while
driving nail in the wall could only be

Shade of Elias Howe. or whose mag.
niticent curly wig and incompreheosble
breecbes l have looked with such awe
and admiration, what have you done 10 be
treated with such contemptucus disrespect
in Stewards Women Hotel?--no sewing
machines in any of the rooms, says rule
| number seven
Isaac Singer, you might just as well have
| bottled up your genius, for the Women's
Hotel fails 10 recognize the extent Of your
benefactions to mankind; and the deca
| iogue is silent as to whether they will allow
any needles aud thread-this latter enor-
nifty being held, undoubtedly, for future
consideration.
The character of the rules which these
aristocratic managers have laid down for
the government of this latest Stewart specu-
lation, is quite worthy Of the power which
| excluded from the Grand Hotel at Sara
toga the representative man Of an oppos-
ing faith. Judge Hilton has right to do
as he likes with his own, and to regulate
his own household according to his whiIns
and fancies. Whether he or Mrs. A. T.
Stewart is the moving power is matter of
little consequence, but to a casual observer
it would seem that the life of a negro on a
Southern plantation would be glorious
freedom alongside of the slavery of the
so called Womens Hotel. The hotel itself
may be paradise, but before its magnifi-
cent portal stands an angel with a flaming
sword guarding it forever against the mis-
cradle children of wretchedne>s, suffering,
and want. ! hope, for the honor Of the
free women of my country, that there are
few in this great city who will need to par
take of its benefits, and trust that they may
t,,,l r.. ol,o
which these people fail to understand |
have sufficient confidence in Judge IIitOu's
financial ability to believe that he will make
it realize its seven per ceEt like most other
Stewart benefactions, SO that the plethoric
sack left him by the good fairy may be =
source of unfaiing joy. In addition to
the rules already laid down, would sug-
gest that the pockets of the dodgers be
searched on entering or leaving the hotel,
and this with occasional use of the shower
bath, and wholesome application of the
stretcher, might make il rank, in point of
discipline, with tho Albany penitentiary or
the Auburn State prison.
Two of the boldest robberes OF the sea-
week which is past. An old gentleman
was attacked by robber at midday in one
of our most public thoroughfareS and re-
leved Of three thousand dollars in bonds,
and the cashier of the Planet Mills in
Brooklyn accompanied by another man,
mas knocked down at o clock in the after
noon and robbed of three thousand five
hundred dollars. The man who lost the
bonds got them all back within an hour,
and the perpetrators Of the second robbery
have all been apprehended, but the money
is not to be found. Alderman shannon,
who broke the deadlock in the Brooklyn
Board of 4 dermen, died on Wednesday,:
this leaves them tied again-twelve Repub-
Leans and twelve Democrats, with little
prospect of an inroad on either camp till
after the special election. The cold snap
of Monday made us think that the North
Pole had broken loose-the tip of my nose
at high noon registering seven degrees be-
low zero An old lady, the wife of a former
millionaire, died of starvation in Brook
iyn; and another Wall street defaulter has
carried grief to the preshytery of one of
our most arIstocralic and orthodox churches

And now the time has come when ] am
