The sudden disappearance Of The curled
darling Mr.. Eric Bailey IRON the dramatic
orbit has caused profound sensation ia
theatrical circles Mr.. Wallack who IS a
man Of experience, and coufessedly sharp
iu his business, has done some foolish things
in his timei but scarcely anything SO thor
oughly ridiculous as presenting this noodle
TO the New York public os star. The
presentation, however, gave him a ccr,aia
amount Of cclat with tho dudes, and the
TACT Of his appearance at Wallnck's was q
| good advertisement for Che country, though
Eric himsef as well as his pieces was The
deadest ofall deal failures, lie was dude
OF the dudes. Dairy Wall alone presenting
decent rivalry. By borrowing, begging
and promising, he raised money enough tc
take out company, which he lea 10 the
most disastrous failure. Though thorough
ly bankrupt by dint Of the most indomita
! bic brassy cheek, he continued to live on
tho fat Of tho land. His dinners at tht
Brunswick were immense-Quail, pate de
lois gras, Champaign Of the rarest BRANDS
cigars at City cents apiece, and strawberrie:
at five dollars a quart. There wac nothing
neau aoout Eric,ifh he Jared well bis friend:
Jared with him, but the bottom dFopped
out, and Mr. Bailey las disappeared leay'
ing several dsconaolaLs madens and q
large number OF unpaid bills-the latter
amounting to nearly $4,000. 1t serves
New York exactly right, any rascal who
has cheek can always get hearing; send
us on a lew moro there is plenty Of spare
cash bere waiting to be borrowed, and
plenty of good food waiting 10 DO eatenj il

the FIRST Of the week, gave US busines:
paralysis. The frost covered all tie shop
windows so that you could not see u thing
aud the doors being closed it looked as
though business was suspended; and indeed
it was Sd, clerks sat about dolng nothing
every body declaring that they had never

changes like a cyclone. Stocks trembled
ami corn and wheu! went OF and every
body was grumbling. b. the prices o.

Though manufacturers and importers wer,

eighty cent5 yard; and a prominent mer
chant assured me that they were all i'm

gains are tempting the money is ,anG
the angels as they look at them with loving
eyes and watering mouths, say "If wal

The theatres are only doing moderately
for at the present limo we have nothn!
like a startling sensation. The attempt t,
boom the New Dramatic College is fail
ure. A few rich pupils raay keep it up fo

ulepian schemes. We are all wonderful;
what has bscome of IIarper's lost editor.
