Neau York, March 10, 1882.
There is an interesting ecclesiasti-
cal suit going on. An ex-Indian
Missionary, a Mr.. Human, sues
Bishop Hare, of Niobrara, for SLAM
der and unjust removal, on horrible
charges, which he claims were sever
al times made before and as often
successfully repealed. Human was
candidate for the bishopric.
The now revived pedestrians have
been paid their shares of the gate
money, less expenses, taken in at
the great walk. 1t was a savory crowd
of "sports" who grumbled at the
small amounts turned over to the
men who did the work. They
couldn't understand why, with 81
admission, and apparently larger
crowds than ever before, Hazael for
instance should only get about 49,
900, when on a previous occasion,
with so cents admission, Rowell got
$4,000. The walkers didn't seem
pleased, but took things coolly. 1t
was the gang of plug-uglies who have
fastened on them that made all the
bobery.
The coolest of our present stock of
condemned murderers, Sindram, was
reprieved till Good Friday, of all
days in the year. This is one of
those unnecessary and exasperating
snubs to the feelings of probably a
majority of his fellow citizens that
make Governor Cornell the reverse
of popular. His friend Conkling' S
disdainful rejection of a seat on the
supreme court bench is making peo-
pie think some of these people are
getting too big for their breaches.
The governor has, however, thought
better of it, and the cold-blooded
brute won't be strung up till the
oath.
The sunfower craze still continues.
The aesthetic monstrosity, initiated
in every material, stares ct one on
every side, and the great O'Wilde Is
hugely advertised thereby. They
say he has colored valet-a sort OF
tiger lily, as it were.
We hear a great deal of the boom
of prosperity, but it is remarkable
that there are number of failures
some of them heavy ones. Wal
street is in turmoil, and, in point Of
fact, real estate seems to be the only
interest really flourishing. Shrewd
people are putting their savings where
they can't run away, and something
will be left even if everything elst
goes to everlasting smash.
Railroad King Vanderbilt and his
lucky new son-in-law, DR.. Webb, re
ceived $500 guests few days age
in the wonderful Fifth-avenue palace
1t looks new, of course, but is yer,
beautiful and crowded with beautiful
things. The $4,000 were full of ad
miration and some of them of cham
payne, for there was a costly feed.
The Brooklyn Bridge Trustees asl
a million and quarter more to finisl
the link between Gotham and it
chief annex. They will probably ge
this, and may make it do till fall
and then they'll ask for more as usu
al. 1t is an odd, crooked lookin,
concern with a detected air, as if
had been born tired. The cars t.
run on it are to be hauled across o.
an endless chain and winch arrange
ment. 1t has cost many lives an
many millions of dollars, and is
monument of great engineering skill
neutralized and rendered ridiculou
, by childish and dishonest tinkering.
Several hundred doctors hav
cracked the shell of graduation, ant
have been launched to heal a suffer
ing world. The foremost of tn
crowd, who got a gorgeous gold med
al for proficiency is lady, Shephar
by name, and several other ladie
3 got their diplomas at the same time
: They say, but l hardly know whethe
: er it can be credible, that Miss SheI
hard's nerves are so strong that sh

The giants, dwarfs, two heade
girls, limbless man, ETC., have bee
enjoying a sad time. The fat boy
dead. His professional friends al
very sorry, and have held most il
teresting meeting as memorial {
him and his virtues.
The Fourth National Bank is Il
latest victim of religious and vel
trustworthy clerk. This gentlema
annexed about $4,000. They So
he feels quite unwell. The bank al
