LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
ESPECIAL oonnrsrosDrsor OF THE nosrronl

mingled regular and militia of all arms.
He had been lying in state in City Hall,
and over $4,000 passed the casket in
single file to take last look at the
sturdy old soldier who fought the famous
battle above the clouds, and whose valor
has passed into proverb. Then the
Israelites have had to lament the distin-
guished Rabbi Einhorn, a fiery but ven-

Then the Episcopalians have lost the
artist who played the chimes for Trinity
Church. He was nephew of and sue
ceeded the famous James Aylife, the
father of chimes in this country. Last
ly, the Mayor of New York, and son of
good old Peter Cooper, who belongs to
no church, but is virtuous enough to be
a credit to any, has lost partner in his
iron business, Charles Hewitt, brother
to the energetic Congressman, Abram S.
Hewitt.
Another partner of the latter Hewitt,
in political matters, namely S. j. Tilden
has made another comfortable little
million of dollars. This time it was
calm little speculation in iron. Early in

fortunate in the possession of many very
useful friendships.
Since the original triangular duel in
vented by Mr.. Midshipman Easy, there
probably never was more laughable
contest than the election just past. No
body got what they wanted. Republi-
cans voted for Cornell because they dis.
liked Robinson and Tildenism. Others
scratched and then repented in sackcloth
and ashes. John Kelly lost all the local
offices which his eager Tammany sup
| porters value so much more than any sort
of principles, and altogether, things were
very much mixed. 1t was a quieter
election than even last year, and while
the consumption of liquid refreshments
was quite extensive there were compare
lively few muses. of any account
Loud and just are the complaints that
arise from the sensible public against the
nauseous flood of vicious juvenile period
ical literature which within the last year
or two has risen so high as to seriously
threaten the moral and material welfare
of young America. 1t is therefore a
hearty welcome that awaits the beautiful
new weekly, "Haper's Young People. :"
which is just announced by that allen
bracing and all-powerful publishing
house on Franklin Square. The new
weekly is brimful of matter to fascinate
the young-and, for the matter of that
the grown up people too-sparking with
spirit, adventure and fun, just the thing
for winter evenings, and suggestive of q
hundred safety valves for youthful ener.

to excite an unworthy emotion. The ar

altogether the new paper is quite liter

The atlantic Monthly and the Ameri;
