LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
New York, April 15.
max’s encroachments.
Considerable interest is felt here in all
movements of Maximilian, or in anything
that effects his prospects. More especially
is this the case just now., from the fact that,
as our war is considered substantially ended,
the recent movements in Mexico, as affecting
our expressed adherence to the Monroe doe
trine, are narrowly watched. It has always
been considered that the encroachments of
the French, through Max., have been also
viewed with a jealous eye by John Bull, and
this is now beyond cavil. Supposing this is
the fact that large forces of English troops
have been landed recently at Jamaica, most
materially strengthening the garrisons on
that island; this looks as if there .were French
bayonets sent to that island to enforce Max
imilian’s decree annexing it to Mexico, they
would encounter those ot their ancient ene
my, and who knows but another Waterloo,
on a small scale, may yet be witnessed.
THAT “SEQUESTERED SPOT!”
The Honorable Henry S. Foote, late mem
ber of the late Rebel Congress, is really an
unfortunate man. • He is constantly in
trouble—has always been in trouble. This
poor man has, probably, seen as much, if not
more, serious trouble than any other man.
When he belonged to Mississippi he was al
ways in trouble, and was obliged to go into
the, field several times to meet an enemy in
deadly conflict. While he resided in Cali
fornia he suffered from the same tortures.
When he returned to the east and located in
Tennessee he was unhappy. And while oc
cupying a seat in the Rebel House of Repre
sentatives he was constantly at swords points
with his fellow-members, and the Rebel gov
ernment especially. At length he became so
disgusted that he pronounced a valedictory
in open session, in which he declared he
would “go in search of some sequestered
spot, where he would be relieved of taxa
tion.” It is no wonder the poor man is un
happy, if it be the ambition of his soul to
find such a spot. He started in the direction
of Washington, (not that there was within
the shadow of that capital a spot where there
was no taxation, most certainly,) but he was
overhauled at Fredericksburg by a Rebel
guard and sent to Richmond. Arrived here,
he was set at liberty, and forthwith was un
happy because they would not prefer charges
against and try him. Finding he could not
be gratified he left the Rebel capital again in
more disgust than ever, groped his way
within Gen. Sheridan’s lines in the Shenan
doah, and gave himself up. He was sent to
Washington, but was still very unhappy. He
was furnished transportation to New York, and
perhaps, finding at least a relic of that terri
ble scourge to bis life, Taxation, here, he
started in pursuit of the “sequestered spot ”
across the Atlantic. Arrived in England, he
unburdened himself of a portion of his
griefs by publishing a statement of the con
dition of the confederacy. His account was
a gloomy one related in the most gloomy
language, and it is highly probable he suc
. ceeded in imparting some of his unhappiness
to various and divers parties who had taken
stock in that worse than South Sea Bubble,
.the Confederate States of America. He
then, for a time, sank out of it was
believed by many that he had, * t length,
discovered the long-sought “sequestered
spot.” But, imagine the surprise of every
body here, If you can, when a few days
since, an emigrant ship, in emptying its load
on the battery, tumbled out of the steerage
one Henry S. Foote, and the identical Henry
S. who months since started out in search of
a “ sequestered spot ” of a certain descrip
tion. It was at once, evident there was no
such spot in Great Britain. Whether he
tried Europe is not known. As he struggled
through the crowd of emigrants his appear
ance was sad indeed. The weight
of care—the weariness the friendless
ness of the wandering Jew seemed
centered in it. And so sharply cut
were these features, that it was evident his
trials had been of late very severe, and that
his last disappointment in not finding the
“sequestered spot” in the steerage of an emi.
grant ship, had entered like steel into Ins
heart. Arrived here, Government’s bowels
of compassion moved for him. It looked in
pity upon him, and at once presented him
with the “spot” he had so long sought. In
this city, in Eldridge street, there is an Insti-’
titution which in days past was devoted to
the occupancy of those persons who were
unable to meet their fiduciary obligations.—
Os late years, however, the State has had no
law of .imprisonment for debt, and the Insti
tution has been tenantless. This Institdtton
was placed at the disposal of the unhappy
man, and he is now in occupancy of it. It is
truly a “sequestered spot" and in it he is
subject to no “taxation” whatever.
Rest, perturben spirit!
A CHIMING RAMPAGE
has been kept up all the week from “out
the belfrey of Old Trinity,” and our populace
Usten gratefully to the patriotic clanging of
the bells, as their peals ring forth ‘‘glad
songs ol His divinity” who promised “peace,
on earth and good wiU to men.” A hundred

SNUFF DIPPERS
are among us, recently imported from the
South in large numbers. They are easily
distinguished from the other females of the
refugees seen on our streets, by their thin,
yellow faces, and the marks of the tobacco
upon their lips. A tobacconist near the Bat
tery, where are located a large number of
these homeless refugees, states he has sold
more Scotch snuff within two weeks, than
during the past two years, they preferring
that to the scented Maccaboy.
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM ?
is now a puzzling question with officials hav
ing charge of some two or three thousand
southern refugees, sent here from various
pomt9. The people themselves don’t know
where they are going— do not know what
they are going to do to earn a living—and
generally seem to have no idea at all why
they came here—in fact some of them don’t
seem to care about anything in particular so
long as they are furnished rations and a
place to sleep. They roam and gape about
the streets, homeless and objectless, t exciting
the pity of all, and seem totally devoid of
any enterprise or spirit. There is not as
much “snap" or vim in all of them as would
be developed in a Yankee boy or girl of
fourteen years of age. It is easy to see how
such people could be moulded to suit
the whim of a few smart st’—*r»efck
ing politicians, and our whole community
while pitying them does not express the most
exalted opinion of Southern “white and
trash.” A sprinkling of “red schoolhouses”
down South, would have improved these
people amazingly.
three thousand mechanics
struck work at the Navy Yard on Tuesday,
owing to the announcement that their
wages had been reduced from four
to three dollars and a half per
day from the first of the month ! The strikers
receive the sympathy of the community
from the fact that it is considered a wrong
has been inflicted upon them by not notify
ing them that such a reduction would be
made on the first day of the month. Strikes
are by no means popular, but this seems to
possess some merit, as no doubt exists that
the injustice has .been committed by some
blundering official. Nearly all government
work at the yard is at a standstill. The re
duction is fifty cents per day leas than is paid
by employers outside of the yard, and one
more hour per day is exacted by the govern
ment than by private individuals. There is
considerable feeling on the subject In Brook
lyn and Williamsburg.
ROBBERIES
are getting frequent again. Some of recent
occurrence have been of the boldest charac
ter, reminding one of the old stories of an
cient burglars. A trio of thieves entered a
house by the cellar grating one night this
week, gathered about a thousand dollars’
worth xis silver, then spread the table in the
dining-room, broke into the wine cellar, and
had two hours spree ere their noise awoke
the inmates Another trio went to the house
of a Mr. Deforest, in 39th street, that gentle
man answering the door-bell in person. The
robbers seized him, lied and gagged him in
his own front hall, and then leisurely ran
sacked his premises, taking off three thousand
dollars in gold and one thousand dollars in
greenbacks, coolly n 3tiring from tbe front
door, leaving Mr. Del orest helpless with a
polite “good bye, old fellow I” :
PATRIOTIC BOOTBLACKS. ,
Everybody is supposed to be patriotic thia,<
week—at least few of the opposite persua
sion can be found—they are more scarce
than were those who once voted for General
Scott for President. Hardly any one ever
visited this city without noticing the four
red-shirted jolly fellows who black boots in

they considered it due'to their hundreds of
patrons to show their loyalty, and procured
a dingy flag, whi ch they have hoisted from

Chinese Porrait Painters. —ls you pre

preliminary qustions: “How you likey?
You likey haneome, or you likey likey?”
You naturally rply that you vish the por
trait to be like jW; but woe betide you if,
after that annouicement you object to the
picture on the score of its ugliness. It is
said that a sittermce ventured to do so; the
aggrieved artist timed round to the collected
audience, and wih upraised hands, exclaim
ed in expostulaory tones: “Suppose no

sympathy evince! for the aggrieved artist,
and overwhelmed the confusion of the cari

“It appears as if the South is exhausted by

that the end is not far. The cause is simply

The famous Seminole • Chief Osceola was
buried in Fort Moultrie, Charleston harbor.
A correspondent who recently visited the
place, writes, “Inside of Fort Moultrie is Os
ceola’s grave, a plain slab of marble with an
iron rail fence. Everything round it had
been knocked to pieces by our shells, but not
one touched it, or even dipped the flowers
around his grave. The inscription on it was
this: “To the memoir of Osceola, Indian
Chieftain, died in Fort Moultrie, 1659.”
, An Elephant in Love. — A number of
years ago, two menageries were laid up for
the winter in a storehouse on the bank ot the
canal at Pittsburg. Here Hannibal was
thrown for the fimt time into the society of
Queen Anne. They were fastened aide by
side, and an immediate attachment sprang
up between them. It was a case of love at
first sight, for the moment Queen Anne was
brought into Hannibal's presence, Bhe ran
her trunk into his mouth—the elephant style
of kissing. All winter they were continually
carressing each other, and their demonstra
tions of mutual affection were really extraor
dinary. In the spring, Queen Anne was
taken away to start on her annual tour. The
rage of Hannibal at this separation was ter
rific ; for eleven days he refused to touch a
morsel of food', the only nourishment he re
ceived during that time being whiskey and
water.
By dint of a continuous swaying or surg
ing against his fastening, he succeeded in
breaking loose on the twelfth day, when he
took entire possession of the establishment.
The animals in the cages were terribly fright
ened, dashing their bars and filling the air
with their howls and shrieks. Hannibal
raged around the building, reared on his hind
feet and endeavored to tear down the rafters
in the roof, with his trunk, but molested none
of the animals. In the meantime a large
force of men were gathered; steel books at
tached to long poles were inserted in his ears
and shoulders, and after great difficulty he
was “hobbled” and cast, when the custom
ary discipline was applied with the usual
satisfactory results. Queen . Anne, who was
of a more gentle disposition, bore the separ
ation with exemplary resignation.
Mutiny on Board a Steamer. —On Wed
nesday of last week as the steamer Hudson,
Capt. Evans, was proceeding from
ton to Beaufort, one of the crew, an Italian,
having been ordered by the Second Mate t*
attend to some duty, declined to obey on the
plea of sickness, ana, on being told to go be
low if he was sick—the Mate, at the same
time, expressing his doubt of the truth of the
statement —sprung upon the officer and stab
bed him in the breast with a knife. The
sailor then leaped into the water. In the
meantime the Captain came upon the deck
and took immediate steps to have the Second
Alate properly cared for. An effort was
made to rescue the man in the water, but
without avail. As the small boat neared him
he threw up his arms and disappeared below
the surface. The event occurred when the
steamer was between Edisto and St. Helena.
The Second Mate wa9 severely but not dan
gerously wounded. Besides the cuts he re
ceived in the breast he was wounded on
other portions of the body while attempting
to defend himself. The strange behavior of
the sailor exhibited the extremely bad tem
per which he must have possessed.
The Rebel Steam Ram Stonewall. — A
letter from Ferrol, Spain, dated 12th March,
says the Stonewall is 175 feet long and 80 feet
beam. Her spur or ram is 20 feet long, her
plating fivl-2 inches thick, and she lias two
immovable turrets, with one 300-pounder in
the forward turret and two 200-pounders in
the after turret. The decks are of wood
with a plate of iron one inch thick beneath.
She has two keels, two rudders, two propel
lers, four engines, stated to be 300 horse
power, all combined. Her main deck Is not
more than five feet above the water. Her
sides slope inconsiderably, and she is full
brig rigged, and reports 69 men.
The U. S. frigates Niagara and Sacramento
are watching the Stonewall, which, though
only 800 tons, her captain believes will be
able to sink both the Niagara and Sacramento
if he can get near enough to- them. The
Niagara is 4500 tons, and carries twelve 200-
pound Parrott guns, which will throw solid
shot and shells of 8 inches diameter. The
Sacramento carries ten guns, six of which?
are 68-pounders, three 100-pounder rifles, and
one 60-pounder.
A sad affair occurred at Niagara Falls
recently. A woman about 26 years of age
went to the bridge connecting Goat Island
with the American shore, and threw herself
into the water. She was instantly borne
swiftly through the rapid and over the Ame
rican fall. The woman was the wife of a
man who is in the army, but she was cohab
iting with another person residing at, the
Falls. She left a chiid—a little girl. The
cause that induced her to commit this act of
self-destruction are attributed to the unhap
py state of her domestic affairs. SKfe was
seen going to the bridge by a person to
whom she avowed her purpose, but she was
not credited, and allowed to go on her way
to destruction.

Behavior at Table.— lt used to be high
caste to eat with a spoon every thing that
could be so eaten, except fish, which was

whose social position was dubious, caused

It is not polite to express surprise, repug

The world is wide, and you have not yet
seen the whole of it. If invited to experi- «
mental repasst, such as the Prince Napoleon’s
Chinese dinners, or the recent French and
German horse-flesh banquets, you know
what you have to expect beforehand, and
can accept or decline accordingly. But if
fortune unexpectedly bring you into contact
with strange messes which others enjoy,
good manners require you to look as if you
could enjoy them if you pleased.
It is not polite in a private house, to
breathe in your glass and polish it with your
napkin, or to wipe your plate, knife, fork,
or spoon, or, in short, to dtfany thing which
can imply a suspicion of the neatness and
cleanliness of the service. In hotels and res
taurants only you have the right, by pay
ing for it, to take these precautions.
General Grosdos, who retained many of
his army babite, was dining at a Minister’s
house in Paris. When a livery servant came
to fill his glass with wine, he anticipated the
movement by wiping it with all his might
and main. The Hostess, fearing that some
little accident had occured, signed to the
valet behind her to change the glass. The
wiping process was recommenced, and the
glass again immediately changed, up to a third
and a fourth, until the General, losing tem
per, whispered to his neighbor, a Senator's
wife, “Does M. le Ministre mean Jo make
game of me, baas king me to dinner to wipe
his glasses ?” » » ,
The lady, with some difficulty, got him to
understand, that what might be necessary in
a camp canteen was quite unnecessary in a
Parisian dining-room.
A Fearful Scene. —A wild and fearful
scene occurred at the Syracuse Depot on
Monday last. As the cars which made up
the Oswego ’Wain were standing in the Cen
tral Depot, a locomotive, without engineer
or fireman, came dashing in from the East
and plunged into the last car of the train,
driving the whole train like lightning out of
the Depot, a distance of twenty rods, wreck
ing the whole thing.
The mysterious appearance of this wild
engine was as follows : The engine had been
despatched East, and on approaching the
tunnel near Syracuse the engineer saw a
wood train approaching from the East. Both
engineers reversed their engines and jumped
from their machines. A collision took place,
smashing the locomotive coming from the
East. The locomotive going East had its
hind truck thrown off, but being reversed the
engine started back towards Syracuse, its
speed increasing every foot until it was mak
ing a speed of a mile a minute, the bind track
gone and the tender bounding into the air,
it dashed into the Oswego train, by which
the escape valves were broken oft the steam
rushed out, and the tank bemg broken
into the water gushed out, and the phantom
locomotive gave its last gasp. The crash
find steam, and cries of afinghted people
made up a terrible scene, but, happily, with
out loss of life, and it is a wonder, as the es
caped engine, in its race, crossed eleven!
Streets, and dashed - through a crowd of four
hundred people.
The cause of all this was that the engine
went out on the wrong track, the right track
being out of repair owing to the flood.
The Tragic Fate op a Lion Tamer. —A
letter from Wortzburg, Bavaria, in the Petit
Journal, gives the following account of a
scene said to have taken place in that toWn
on {the 25th of January: “A Frenchman,
named Spulages, a native of Colmar, has. for
some time past been exhibiting, with great
success at Wurtzburg, as a lion tamer. On
the day above mentioned, he entered a den
containing a lion and a lioness, and made
them go through various performances. The
spectators loudly applauded. Elated by
these plaudits, Soulages determined to do
something more extraordinary, and for that
purpose he collected in one den a lion, a
lioness, a white bear, two black bears, four
hyenas, two wolves and a tiger. He then
.entered himself, whip in hand, but the door
was scarcely closed when the tiger made a
spring at the white bear. This was the sig
nal of a terrific struggle among all the beasts,
which appeared at once to recover their nat
ural ferocity Soulages, hoping to inti
midate the animals, fired two shots at the
tiger and white bear. This act sealed
his fate, for the tiger, leaving the bear,
sprang on his keeper, threw him down; and
began to tear him with his teeth and claws.
The other beasts, rendered furious by the
smell of blood, all fell on the unhappy man,
and in a few minutes he was torn to
pieces and almost entirely devoured, in the
presence of the horror-stricken spectators,
who were powerless to render assistance.
A boy medium named Allen who has beeu
raising “wonderfhl spiritual manifestations”
down East, was recently detected in his ham
buggery at Portland. The “spirits” were
fond of pulling hair in the dark, but when a
cute Yankee put some lampblack upon his
hair, somewhow Allen’s hands were stained
with it. The “seance” didn’t last long after
that.
