parable, at Manhattan Beach. Paul Bauer
the gentleman who found the way to the
penitentiary for selling pools, has fitted W
his immense caravansary in magnificent
style, and his orchestra is made up of Vienne
ladies-that is theoretically-for while {
very enchanting young lady swings the
baton in front and an equally ravishine
angel toots upon the flute, and five of si1
airy divinities, who would turn the scale al
two hundred and forty, set your feet going
with their fiddle, yet here and there from
among the shrubbery the bearded face o1
man peeps out, and between the pieces
you catch the odor of profane pipe, anc
while I an, willing to concede that any
member of the lady orchestra might will
propriety indulge in mild cigarette, ye
there must be line of demarcation some
where, and mine stops at Dutch pipe.
"Nan proposes but God disposes." Spec
ulators were gradually getting possession
OF the beach at Ooney Island, and if thei'
plans had been allowed to succeed, in {
little time it would have been about as OK
pensive to get sight of the sea as It used
to be to see Niagara Falls. The spectators
put up their fences, their bathing houses
and pavilions 80 that the ocean beach was
gradually being shut out. But last winte,
tho storm king took the matter in hand and
months into smithereens. Bath-houses
whurves and music stands disappeared like
houses of cards, and now the ocean beach
is free to the multitude again. To this
however, there is partial exception in the
case of Manhattan Beach. Manhattan Beach
is the toney end of the island, and it wishes
the public in general to understand, and
denizens of Brighton Beach in particular
that it wants no connection with the people
over the way. This is the establishment
that initiated Judge Hilton at Saratoga
and served a general notice on the tribes
of Judah and Israel that no Hebrews need
apply. The Jews still live nevertheless not
withstanding, and what is more they flour
ish and wax fat. And while speaking OF
the Jews, have you observed how they are
coming to the front in the arts7 They are
almost in control of certain quarters of the
musical world. Little Solomon, the antho1
of Z" Polly" etc., has gobbled the pearl OF
great price, Lillian Russell. Sidney Roson-
felt is another. The gentleman who sup
ported Miss Davenport in Fedora is son
of Israel Of the most pronounced type. NJ.
Masse, the celebrated hass soaoist, IL an.
other, and We know dozens of painters and
scuiptors from whom great things may be
expected. Aronson, at the Casino, has
made it one of the most fashionable resorts
in the city. So that you must not imagine
that the Jews of New York are exclusively
engaged in that sale of old clo'. They are
among the heaviest manufacturers of CLOTH
ing in the country. It goes for saying
that they are among the foremost and best
of our financiers. Certain lines of trad9 they
command almost without a rival. Their
churches Or synagogues are among the
most beautiful and costly in the city. No
charities are more comprehensive than
tensibly founded for those of their own
faith, the suffering Gentle, cast out of his
kind, would not be turned from their gates.
On all proper occasions tho Jews are found
among our most public spirited citizens,
and it is quito possible that Judge Hilton
and the proprietors of Manhattan Beach
may have accession yet before they die to
regret the narrow minded ostracism which
prescribed the Jews from Saratoga and
Manhattan.
In Brooklyn this week a man and wife
camo into court. each claiming a divorce
The man on the ground of excessive cruel
The gentleman carried in his pocket three
hnndfuls of hair which his loving spouse
had torn from his head, and the lady swore
that her derelict husband had only given
throwing slop-bowl at him aud hitting
him over the head with litter, bul
claimed that it was under unusual provoca,
ton and swore abe would do it again if he
said her mother squinted. The wife turned
the scale at 2G5 pounds and the husband is
about 103. The wife who is suing for sup
port haa $4,000 in her owu right, and her
husband has salary. She has tried the
matrimonial venture four times and looks
as though she could stand it four times
moro without serious injury. No disposi-
ton has yet been made Of the case; in the
meantime let us hope she will not suffer.
We have had respite of weather for
three or four dsys-it has been delightfully."-
cool.

A little circumstance occurred on Wall
street which occasioned quite little excite
ment, and almost swelled to the dimensions
of riot. 4 pronident banking house
wishing to 30 especial honor to the mem
ory of General Grant, gave an order to one
of our decorators to have large picture O.
General Grant in front of their building
draped with mourning. The decorator was
full of business and quite unable to fill all
the orders that were pouring in upon him
so that not having to paint new face he
thought he would utilize picture of Jane:
G. Blaine that he had used in the Presiden
tial election. So carefully draping it ane
concealing portion of the face with os
trich feathers and Grape, he hung it up, bu
the forgery was so fragrant that it was 500,
hauled down and proper picture put in it
