EASTER SUNDAY’S FARADS. onrrible Condition of the Streets of B '' the Metropolis. NeW York, April IC.—The polished and finished articles which appeared ' the New York papers concerning the !,vd parade of beauty uud fashion on Fifth n i'ric Easter Sunday convey about as ae ''.'•itcau impression of the actual condition f nff-iirs as the sinuous prospectus of a VlVu mine. When the ladies stepjied out Vboir houses for the annual show their i mnets were expensive and showy, and m „' nv instances exceedingly becoming, ifv'r five minutes of the blinding dust, •riling clouds of refuse and manure and linnturo whirlwinds of ashes and gar “Ve ,hu natural texture and tints If the t>onnets, and, indeed, of all ; he r articles of attire, were reduced ",,iirt and dun-colored uniformity. lam Quito aware that there is more or less objec- S’ t 0 writing about the nastiness and filth If the streets of New York as there is about 'vervtbing that is repulsive. It is not a pleasant subject at best, and it is ignored ivith extraordinary pei-sistency by the Now Y i-k papers. Still, the most important fac tor in New York life to-day is the dirt and i ust the public streets. Nobody who has lot seen New York at the present time can nve an idea of the enormity of this abuse. On Easter Sunday I walked from the Bruns ,rek to the Windsor Hotel with three men, aid when we arrived there, and stood viping the refuse from our eyes and mouths md ears, we met several others,and the group it once fell to talking about the dust and' jit All our coats were black—or hud been -but when we arrived at the Windsor they were as completely covered by all manner of jilt and dust although they had beenrolled n the public streets. It is mouths since the streets have been iroperly swept and Fifth avenue and iroadwav are particularly vile. The fronts the houses, the steps, window sills, awn n,rS, railings and every cornice and lintel is onked deep with dirt and manure. One •- aid have planted potatoes on the Easter ion nets of the New York women un hour ifter tliey had been ou Fifth avenue. The ■xpkuiutiou that I hour is one not much to he credit of the city. The Street Cleaning department is to-day in the hands of a ring hat is absolutely master of the usual ehan iels of information. Once in a great while he papers make a feeble spurt of indignat ion, hut it amounts to nothing, and the .(forts to inaugurate a live crusade invaria )lv fail. It is not diffi cult te imagine the influence vhi6h keeps the papers mum. New York, from being the worst governed city n the world, has now become the dirtiest, uid the Easter parade was a thing of the irilliant and polished imaginations of the enters of the New York press, for, in reality, t was a dismal, dirty, itching and disgust ng wallow through a simoon of nastiness uid dust. But there was one gleam of light trough it all. A universal smile swept tom one end of Fifth avenue to the other in ;he wake of a gorgeous spectacle in purple u>d white that appeared about l o’clock. It nas during the densest period of the dirt :loud that Mr. Hairy Miner, theatrical manager, swung into Fifth avenue and toiled northward. He was the most bril- Saut spectacle I have ever seen. Exactly why a man sir >uld dross like an ass simply Decause lie is in the theatrical business, I shall never be able to inderstand. Mr. Miner is a man of large jirtli, small chest and ponderous carriage, lis somewhat extensive face is ornamented by an exceedingly small moustache, the ends sf which are twisted and waxed skyward. Dn Sunday he wore a purple frock coat, the ihiniest of hats with a broad ribbon, a scar ,et tie, and so on. The effect was simply Dverwhelming and greatly enhanced bv the [act that the lady who accompanied Mr. Miner was dressed in purple velvet, the sann* shade as the manager’s coat. Several mall boys followed the bright coat of the grotesquely dressed theatrical man, imbued n ail likelihood by the earnest hope that he would break out in what his variety actors call a “gentlemanly song and dance act.” Mr. Miner was dressed for it, at all events. Henry James. hoaxing newspapers. Some of the Jokes That Have Passed Into History, New York, April 10. —The recent hoax whereby the Evening Sun , of New York, was lured into printing an acrostic that was extremely uncomplimentary to Mr. Dana, recalls a number of such jokes which have passed into newspaper history. Many an editor has been victimized by communica tions which he did not know wero loaded. Most of these have been coarse, many ob scene, anil a few really witty. The perpe trators ot these acts are seldom detected, nougu extraordinary efforts have been made ui many cases. About a century ago, however, a woman in Germany' was con . T “ av ing changed a sentence ad dressed to Eve, in Genesis, in which man is spoken of as lord of the woman, “And he snaUbethy lord.” This passage she made z - v , changing the word “herr” to narr, ‘And he shall be thy fool.” As Greek ofoid was tired of hearing Arts _ s (alWl the Just, so this German woman !“ of heaiing man lauded as the peiiqr °t woman.

The young lawyer was thunder struck to receive so unexpected an appoint ment. It wns J. C. Bancroft Davis. He filled the post for some years. He has since served as Assistant Secretary of State and at times ns acting Secretary. Oscar Willoughby Riggs. MILLINER’S ROW. Shops which Have Held Their Ground for Two Generations. New York, April 10. —Not one of the grand dames whose Easter bonnets and gowns, as they appeared on Fifth and Madi son avenues, w'ere as true harbingers of spring, last Sunday, as the balmy breezes and blooming- crocuses, bought her ouflt in Division street. Probably not one in ten thousand was ever in Division street, knows where it is or ever heard of the twenty-eight millinery' shops that stand there all in a row, and stood there years before most of the ladies in fashionable society in New York were born. Fifty year's ago tradesmen in this city dealing in the same lines of goods were more gregarious than to-day. Not only were the leather men all in “The Swamp,” as now', but the hatters and furriers were all in a row on the lower end of Broadway'; the largest dry goods establishments were on the same thoroughfare in the neighborhood of Cedar and Pino, streets, alt hough there were one or two very large stores on Catharine street. Among the shops that dealt in gen tlemen’s and ladies’ furnishing goods and milliners were on Division street. The Madison square of that day was Chatham square; the Fifth avenue was on East Broad way, with some of the stately' residences of the merchant prince on Pike, Madison and neighboring streets, and the Harlem lane was the Bowery. The advance in rents scattered the hatters and furriers many years ago. The great dry goods stores followed their customers up town. The Catharine street shops went into Grand street; Chatham square was given up to manufactories, gin mills, beer gar dens, concert saloons and low dives. The substantial residences ou East Broadway and neighboring streets were first boarding houses and then began to swarm with He brews. But the millinery shops still stood there in a row on Division street, between thirty and forty of them. The prim and precise old Quakers who lived on the opposite (west) side of the street, who owned most of the property there and whose wives kept some of the mil linery shops, have disappeared. You might elbow your way up and down the narrow, dark, dirty street, from which the light is shut out by the Second avenue elevated railroad, with its eternal clatter, every day for a year and not meet with a carefully brushed, broad-brim silk hat, snuff-colored, shad-bellied coat, or a pair of knee breeches, or see the delicat- > drab gown, sugar-scoop bonnet and spotless white kerchief of the Quaker’s wife. But the millinery shops re main, the most of them, as though they were permanent fixtures attached to the soil. AVhen the wealth and fashion of New York surrendered East Broadway to the boarding-house keepers, tbo milliners who made their artistic hats and bonnets fol lowed them uptown; but another grade of architects of women’s headgear stood ready to move in with a cheajier though no less showy stock. They, too, had their day, to be succeeded in turn by the present genera tion of Jewish milliners,when their country men crowded out of the neighborhood the respectable boarding-houses. And so we have the strange spectacle, for New York, of a line of business clinging to the spot where it was planted two generations ago, adapting itself from year to year to the changed surroundings, until a complete revolution has been wrought. But the elevated railroad has probably sealed the doom of the Division street mil linery trade. Gaps have begun to appear in the hitherto unbroken row, and the “To Let” card Is now to be seen in several win dows. Twenty-eight only now remain where a few years ago there were about thirty-five, and no new ones move into the places of those who have gone to Grand and other streets. X. L. White. REMINISCENCES OF RAYMOND. Some Points About the Character of “Col. Sellers.” New York, April 16.—50 John T. Ray mond is dead! I was in Washington last Sunday when the sad news came, and it re called vefry vividly the annual engagements he used to play as “Col. Mulberry Sellers” at the old National Theatre, when members of Congress and their families were accus tomed to crowd the auditorium and laugh until their sides would almost split over Ills inimitable presentation of the character. The “Col. Sellerses” were more plentiful in Washington in those days than now, and Raymond’s caricature of them was so good as to afford unlimited amusement to those who met his prototype in the corridors of the eapitol every day. The old “Senator,” too, we used to think' in those days that we knew the original in real political life. I recall a chumung breakfast at Welcker's that f once attended, given in Mr. Raymond’s honor. Our host was “Dick” Irwin, who was subsequently shut tip in the old jail of the District of Columbia for contempt of the House of Representatives in refusing to answer questions put to him in the Pacific Mail subsidy investigation Old Sam Ward was one of the guests. The dinner tvus in every way enjoyable Mr. Raymond said then" what I presume be has frequently told on other occasions, that Mark Twain’s con ception of the character of “Col. Sellers” and his own, as finally presented upon the stage, were wo different as not to be recog nizable as the same, in fact, he claimed that there was more of his own creation in it as lie acted it than lie got from the author of “The Gjldcd Age.” John T. Raymond had hosts of friends among the public men of Washington, and I know of no actor whose death would lie more regretted than his was. Z. L. White. Gallory of Horae Thieves. fVnm the r\tll Mull Qctzetttk An ingenious way of checking the horse stealers, which arc the plague of the Baltic provinces, ha;; been adopted by the Courlanil authorities. They have supplied ail rural [.dice agents and other village functionaries with albums containing the portrait.! of all notorious horse strain's of the province and of their accomplices, with detailed particu lars of their residence, and note* of t,ic cuses in which they havebiien involved. The al bums contain SOT jsirtraits of iiersmis of many ililfcront luitionaUties, Bohemians, Jews, Russians, Is'Us, l.it liuauiaus anil Ger mans figuring among them. The youngest of tlie thieves is 17 years old and the doyen of the “corporation" in 7h, \\) .do (amilien live liy tin: trade, and women and young girls swell the curious gallery.

New York, April 10.—There was an ex traordinary contrast at tiie Metropolitan Opera House Monday night. Patti xvas singing “Traviata.” It was her first ap Iterance in New York magnificent new opera house, and the occasion xvas a gala one. Ail the old opera-goers who were formerly such stanch supporters of the Academy of Music, and who have been the personal friends and fervid admirers of Mine. Adelina Patti ever since she made her first appearance here, twenty-five years ago, were there. Every seat was occupied, and the boxes were crowded by the fashion, beauty and wealth of New York. It wns such a throng as never turned out for Ger man opera. Maploson’s repeated fail ures dragged Patti down several sea sons ago, and this occasion was seized upon for a Patti ovation. As for the diva her self, she is as young, sprightly and graceful as ever, while her marvelous voice possesses all its old-time flexibility, beauty, purity and force. She is the eighth wonder of the world, for the luxuries of a pampered life, the adulation of the civilized world, from monarchs to pau)>ers, and the fierce strain of incessant publicity have left her at the age of forty-three as childlike, joyous and radiant as a debutante at her first bail. Other green opera singers have gro\m wheezy, fat, unwieldy, cranky and sordid and wlint, not at the age of thirty, and none has reached her fortieth year and still re tained not only her youth and beauty, hut still held a position of unassailable eminence in the artistic world. Patti is to-day the greatest of prima donnas, just as she was a quarter of a century ago. The curtain has gone down on the second act and the applause was deafening. Voices rose in sharp “bravos” from various parts of the house and hundreds of women leaned from their boxes, beaming upon the idol of the hour. The stage was deluged with flow ers, and even the orchestra had caught tho excitement. All along in the middle of the stage was Patti bowing and courtesying be fore the tribute of spontaneous admiration from the frantic thousands packed in the gilded opera house. I went out into the lobby, where the roars of applause still followed me, and was going toward the smoking room when a man caught my arm and said half savagely: “Good fcod, what a sight that is. ’ I followed the direction of his eyes and saw Selina Dolaro standing at the entrance of the opera house, gazing with a rapt and eager look at the interior of the house. The roar reached her ears. Her big black eyes blazed with the excitement of the moment. She leaned heavily against the doorway. Her face was wasted and white. She seemed to be drinking in the echo of tho roaring applause. “1 spoke to her a moment ago,” continued the clubman, still clasping my arm convul sively. “I asked her now she was and she said simply: ‘Pm a dead woman walking Broadway.’ ’ “Is she alone?” “No. There’s an escort further back. See how she moves up to hear the applause. 1 remember when she was as much the idol of London as Patti is of New York to-night. What a beautiful woman she was, tool” A thousand scenes shifted through mv mind as I stood there looking at the wreck of one of the most beautiful women who ever graced the New York stage. For a long time Selina Dolaro was the rage. At the height of her fame she was stricken down by hasty consumption. The ravages of the disease were awful. The dramatic profession, which is always generous to the unfortunate, extended a helping hand to her in her need. She had not been seen in pub lic for a long time until she managed to go to the opera house that night. She stood without the portals, a shadow of her former self, listening to tho echoes of the trium phant success within. Blakely Hall. Webster Sees Himself on Canvas. Erom the Boston Transcript. A lady of one of the old families living near Boston related to the Listener yesterday an incident of Daniel Webster whih has never been in print before. This lady hap pened to be one of a few friends who went with Mr. Webster to the hall where hung on exhibition, previous to its final location in Fanueil Hall, Mr. Healy’s now famous paint ing representing Webstar making his reply to Hayne. “Mr. Webster,” said the lady, “was very feeble, and was led in by the ar tist. Ascending the platform which com manded a view of the picture, Webster looked at it for some minutes, making some pleasant observations to his friends resect ing the different Senators and the various points of interest on the canvas. This por trait and that were spoken of, and even tho pages recognized. Finally, tinning to go, Mr. Webster quietly remarked: “ ‘And as for that man, standing there in the centre—well, I’ve seen better looking men in my day than he!’” .MEDKAI..
