THE COACIIIN'G CIXB It is a terribl thing to liave tto mncli money, Imlccd, I am not certain that it is not lttcr Co have too 1 ttle. 1 he last agony pr ymg New York, with too ranch money,, i" "teaching. What is coaching? A vry fimpleV thing. Men with fine hot Vlio think there is comfort in the ol j-fatiitiii ftage conch, went to England anil hal built tor litem oldtshionetl 6tage coaches j list, such gentle reader, a yon saw 'on the road thirty j-ears ago, fitted out complete with bott ft r baS3a-uiwri ff else j as it was in the dahcnooaclKS", 1 or stages a? we ca'l theni Vfere tlie only means ot conveyance.. v-Tliey -pat to them four blo jded horse?, and they pat themselves in tlie uniforms of drivers, aiM.1 they load on the roof all Uieir lady tricmla, and they drive them. That is all there is about it. It means thata certain number of rich young men choose to transform themselves into lage dri vers. There is a club of these amiable lunatics in New York, the head lunatic being young James Gorden Iienitt, tlie proprietor of the Herald. Lnt Saturday the club made its first rade. Seven stage coaches, rather more coxtly in style than those you used to see on your roads, drove up in front of the Union League Club, seven very jich young men habited as coachmen took their places on the reven boxes, forty tivc very lich, and not at all beautiful, young ladies mounted the roofs, ami with the utmost solemnity the eortege drove off, tip firth avenue to the ark, and back again. The streets were lined with people to see this precession, from Madison square all the way to the iark ; and it the object of the parade was to attract attention tho gentlemei stage drivers may be congratulated. IJut isn't it queer that iu the day of steam men should attempt so absurd a thing athe revival of lhe?tagoeiach? The lioises on "these cinches are the very best; that money can buy, and they are groomed to a degree tliat is almost painful. By the way, the absurd Eng lish fahiou of cutting the tail of the horse into the shap of a club, has been adopted here. I 'ray let it be confined to New York, for it is as ng'y as sin. roi.mr Af file Democratic State Convention did two foolish things, viz : It endors ed Sammy Tilden and rnubbed John llorriheey. -The Convention by its acts made it a certainty that every Republi can in tlie country will vote his straight ticket, no matter how much he may have been disposed to bolt. For Tam many Johu Kelly's Tammaiy run tlie machine from first to last. Johu ilorrissey made a vigorous fight, but lie was routed, horse, foot, and dra goons, and tlie Kelly was left in com plete possemou - of the field. Tilden was endorsed, and it lie wins the nomi nation he goes before the people as the nominee of tl-e most villainously cor rupt organization that ever existed, lie goes into the canvass as the especial creatine of the old Tammany ring re organized tlie Tweeds and Connollys under otlter names. I have no especial admiration tor John Udorrissey, but I niustsay that he did make a good fight, and an apparently honest one, against these villains. IJnt Tilden's money, and ilia Tammany organization were too much for him, and down lie went. The decent portion of the Democracy of New York are very sore oyer tbe result, and with a good candidate the Republi cans can easily carry tlie State. Tam many lias recovered from its defeat last fall, and is arrogant as ever. Let tlie Cincinnati Convention give tlie Repub licans a good candidate, and let tbe St. Louis Convention nominate Tilden, and we can carry New York with perfect case. THK CHILDREN! OPEKA, "in aid ol t!e Centennial," stares one at the head of every pleasant project now--days and people are pretty well pillaged on one pretext or another. The last was tlie very pretty spectacle of "Cin derella" at the Academy of ilusiOjgiven by two hundred and fifty children ot fjibhionable families. Tableaux from Mother Goose followed, and it was a pretty sight, the curled darlings, with flowing flossy hair, and cloudy white silver-spangled dresees, with gausy wmga and wands as fairies, and all the romantic Mother , Goose 1 rcpic Itcd Judin-Uccd with her basket, the Sleeping j Beauty and tlie Knchanted Prince ; and it won plenty ot compliments and plenty of dollars from the admiring families and friends Who filled the house.; Perhaps the best tun was the next day, when the young performers nil went down to Mora's the Spanish artist who takes the beauties auu celebrities of the stage with such delicacy, to bs photographed in costume. a crowa stoti anotu me entrance to the gallery on Broadway, for hours, to cati4a glimpse of each snowy clad little fignrjas it. tied fnm mammiVcarvisge tip the steps. The boys were the hand sonnet in my eyes. Tliere was one littfe prince in bine satm and silver coi yflS. dress, wluw. mother,-ongbt to pj Mi that bemiglXgo to heaven before In grows trp to spoil oi.e trace ot .his open, langliing beauty ; and tlie fair boy in black ratin Contincnlal dress, with white silk stockings and ruffles at his wrist, h e led as it l.e I ad jnst stop ped out of a picture, with his noble countenance and grave, sweet air. The girls, had marvelous, delicate complex ions too delicate for pleasure ; and, with their si riuking manners, seemed like wandering moonbeams. Even the slender, fragile creatures of fifteen who will be debutantes next season, who held the parts ot Continental dames in flowered trains and powdered hair, there was hardly one of them that look ed substantial enough to kiss. Like sugar angels, they were to kok at, but not to taste. But fancy how charming was the interior ot the photogra ph sa loon, with groups of miniature court people in gold and Fatin, with b'ue and purple ami rose mantle, figures a la pomadour and watteait, niched in the window seats, delicate faces, happy, the sprites, hardly as tall as their golden hair was long, presided and hovered over by anxious mammas in black tatiu and white bonnets. What tnn it was to be hidden in the photographs closet, and among the villaino.is smelling acids and chromates, and peep out at the, tableaux and the gorgeous little sisters' as they were takeu. WMtTmsulBOUf.liOTKE)!. The gallery ot the late Wm.T, Blod gett sold at auction this week fir over 90,000, a tidy sum to have locked up in pictures. Mr. Taylor Johnston,whose private gal'ery is one of the choicest in New York, opens it to the public in his own house in aid of the Women's Cen tennial Fund, charging $1 00 admis sion, and the chance is engerly sought It is expected that Mr. Stewart's pic tures, which he kept jealously guard ed from the public, will now be accessi ble. Those who do not care fbr pictures on any other account will have some interest in this collection, knowing that it represents a value much above $500,- ooo. . THE FASHIONS. . . .. Tlie mediaeval, linens are something for which the present has to thank modern skill and old design. They are stout damasks, hi - natural and l a'f bleachcd shades, relieved by soft dull ex lorn, and form a desirable class of fabrics for teHolnessind artistic merft, as tliey have much tlie appearance of antique brocades,, copied from old pic tures. Linens are taking their place at the head ot textile fabrics, not excepting silk, fur no other material takes more variety, or can be adapted to more pur poses of utility and lieauty. It rivals brocade iu lustre, and cotton in service, while it is now made to resemble wool in finish ana comfort. The heavy furni ture brocades and tapestries, used In ait furnishings, which look like -silk and woolen, are, one is surprised to learn, of linen, durable, and what is worth every other consideration, wholesome, as they will not absorb, dust and, bad odors as reps and brocatelle always do. The Venetian carpets, largely made ot flax, are liandsomo as the choicest patterns of brussels, and wear wonderfully, while they are clean and sweet longer than wool carpets ; are. Fine mixed cotton and linen lawns are sold at tlie low price of 80 cents a yard, and make most com fortable underwear fbr summer, while fbr dresses they do up like new every time they pass through tlie laundress's hands. Moody and Sankcy have gone, and tlo ministers of the city churches have undertaken to carry on the work that they began. That is to say, they are endeavoring to run revivals on their own book, in the fame manner that the evangelists did. They have employed better singers than . far-key,' to sing i aukey'e EongF, and as tbey all think they are better orators than Moody, they believed they could carry on the work better than did these men. They have all failed. 'The fact is tly may preach better - tjian Moody, and "llieir paid singers may aing better than San key, but it dou't amount to a straw. They have not the" 'soul iu it tliat the evangelists had, aod sonl is what counts. Moody and Sankcy were in earnest, they believe in what they are doing, and they were sticcessful. . They ago nized j they never ate or slept while at their work, and bating no clap-trap or nonsense about U they, did good every where revival.! by machinery ? . .wont do, anrveiil4i'3 "ieTjt' trill; ; It won't answer to jai lao, opera singer in tlie place ot Sauke,- Jo- white lie may be a better singer than Sankey, lie will sing it a an opera singer, and not as a man who feels that ho responsi ble for the salvation of men. It b sad, but it is true, that with tlie going of the evangelists, the interest in religious matters in the city is gone. " New York will have to go on in its sin till they or some other .equally zentotis men come to lift it out. B t,$t NEKS is as dull as it can lie. There is little trade - going, rei?s are falling day by day, thousands upon tltousatids are out of employment, and ,. tie outlook is gloomy. -The interior cities are ding lietter, it is ouly the metropolis that is suffering. Ta ke courage Outside, and pity us wlio are sweating here. Per haps it is as well, tor big cities are great curses after all. i Pietro. Stcxnixg a Lawtek. A French lawyer, who has figured With some dis. tii ctioti iu the National 'Assemblies of the Republic, has given a description of his debut in the to I lowing terms : I was young and nnsuspectuig when I pleaded my first caue. It was that ot a peasant charged with stealing a watch. Tlie iapers in lle case, the insnfticieiicy of the evidence, ami, above all, the air of the accused -which was that of a good man had convinced me of the innocence ot my client. I plead ed with all the warmth pt sou! which could be iusji red by this strong. faith, and gamed an acquittal.-- Onee . free, he cast his arms around me. "f U -"O, monsncur,' he said, "yon spoke well.- My children shall be taught to bless you. There is one more service which voti should do forme." "What is it?" "Dig np the watch for me." ..''

Tlie express train had come and gone through tlie rainy December dusk, with its eyes of rcar'et fire, and its whirz of escaping steam, and tliere was only one twssonger for leterliank- a tall aruto cratic Kioki.ig ceutleman, with a fur- trimmed overcoat and eye-classes, and a fringe of snowy whiskers under his chin. . '. -. ', ""'-... . Rolf Olherbrae. the youni; Feotch ticket agent looked at him with tliat half curious, half indifferent expression wherewuh ticket agents grow in time to regard tlie world ; and the out een tleman lifted np his glassy blue eyes to return the observant glance : - "You, are in cLarjre here, I suppose?' saiii the tail, furry strai;er. "I am, sir," -Otherbrae answered. halt offended at the supercilious tone auoptc;l by tlie new comer. "Perhaps, then, you can tell me what time the train Irom Carrowdale is due?" A six-fifty, air." Tlie old gentleman glanced first at the clock on the wall, tlien at his watcn: tlien sat deliberately down at the fire, as it resigning himself to an hour and a half ot waiting. And Rolf went out into the twilight to make rare that the switch-tender, a hundred yards or so tip the snow-covereu track, bad not fallen asleep, and that t!e signal lights burned clear and steady lor the 5outhsliore train, which - wouM be along now: ah- IIIWHi WIIHC tlKJr IklKIT lit. ; And so, natiirally enongh, Rolf Oth erbrae quite forgot all about the old gentleman with the frosty whiskers and the costly sable furs about his wrists and throat. -;;:v-i!v The Carrowdale train came i libout six minutes or so behind time, Ibr the snojr was falling fast, and the rails slip pery the Imrrying passengers d'apers. ed themselves into the gloom and dark ness in various directions except one young girl, dressed in pinkish gray, with a blacK boa wound round her throat, and a single long willow plume drooping over her almost alabaster pale face, who entered tlie ladies' waiting room, slightly shivering with the cold. Mr. Otherbrae, tlie courteous young ticket agent, advanced toward her; it is but just to premise that lie would have dove the same liad she been sixty,' and pitted with tbe small-pox. "Cau I get you a carriage? tie ask ed, "or be of any otlter service to yon?" "Thanks," she answered, shyly. J expect a friend to meet me liere." - Rolf OUierbrao could not but note as siie spoite Use extreme beauty of the; fair oval face under tlie willow plume, with its velvet hazel eyes, scarlet mouth,: and small, regnlar features. Ticket agents have eyes and appreciative ones, too as well as the rest of the world. J Jut he turned away with a bow, as tlie young lady eeated herself, as if to wait and once more the dull, drowsy silence, lroken only by tlie tick ing of the clock, settled down upon the norn. v';-. v--:v'V'' !;. q '. Click! -i The aharp,' sudden summons of the little telegraph behind tlie railed compartment at the further end -of the room and Mr. Otherbraewho was tele graph operator, as well as station agent, hurried to the poet. "R. Otherbrae,! I'oterbank Station," tlie tongue of tle tel!graph whispered, with its wry, elioklr j sound : "From "Polka Iquartew; Stop an old gtkanan inda yoimg girl, well dressed And plausible.

A li--rg 2t dressed and p?ajtlblef" Tbs description tallied well l-t flinn ct, ivrmi .Taia1 Am The W a for her being connected with a forg er gang pshaw! Rolf Otlierbrao knew better ! : At the sameiustant she rose and came hesitatingly lialf across the tioor.- "I beg yoitr patron, sir but has the express train come in yet?" "Iwo honrs ago, Mr. Otherbrae me chanically answered,' wondering if it were possible tliat so fair an out ward exterior could conceal the hideous inner of crime! And tlien all ofa suyoftn it oeeonrad to bun tliat the tall gei lie man in tli fur trimmed overcoat iu the other room ; might- possibly be the "friend" slw had spoken of and the rold mati" alluded to iu the telegram. At-tlie "same 'iristant, ' adrancins: a pace ot two fartlter, sin) caught sight of the U erect figure by tlie Um la the hy-roomi-the figure vr rappe.1 in fur, J u tnaKUvery, aruitocra'ic bftr, f'and the chin drooping ou his breast as It in sl'imuer. . - "Papa!" bn.ke involuntarily from Iter hps. "He has been waiting tor me, and I never knew it!" . Slie . harried ast the ticket agent into the other room. Rolf Otherbrae looked after her in dismay. " I'm to. stop her, am I?" tltonght Rolf. d how the deuce am I to do it, Pd like toknowt I wish Mr. Deko was here himtelf. - , As these disjointed reflections passed through his mind a sudden shriek roe up in tlie silence and Mr. Olherbrae hurrying into the waiting room, saw the young girl kneeling on the floor beside tbe old gentleman. And in an Instant fie perceived the secret ot her cry:ii --. The stately old gontltnan with fur trimmed garments ad tlie snowy bear J was quite dead. ' v " i " As Rolf advanced she look wiklly op into his face. ;; r.t .... "Can't you help him?" she gnsped. " Can't you do something? O, don't you see he has fainted? Tell me where to go fbr a doctor. Where can. I find some one? I have a smelling bottle, but" "It is of no nse," Rolf answered, gently, entirely forgetting tlie telegram, or rather resolving to ignore it. My mother' cottage is close by-. . Let one take yon there." "And papa? Papa, who has come all the way from India to meet me, and take me home to England?'! - "I will send some one to him at once," said Rolf, swallowing a big lump in his throat, as he felt how ritter ly useless was all human aid, and add ing to himself, "I don't care if she's committed fifty ; forgeries, aye, and a murder beside. I won't make a brute of myself by laying so much as an addi tional straw on the burden of her troub e. It's the sweetest face I ever saw ves, and the best." And so old M rs. Otherbrae . was stricken dumb as she sat by her cozy hearthstone, at ten o'clock at night, by tlie sadden apparition of a beautitui young lady drowned in tears. "Don't ask any questions, mother, darling," Rolf whispered, "but be good to her." And he hurried back to the depot. where the dead silent vigil. man still sat, keeping Half an hour afterwards Ethel Dew Srove knew that the was an orphan in a strange land "Where shall I co?" she ihltered. looking wildly around. "What shall! do? Papa! oh, poor, poor papa!" "My dear, my dear!" said Mrs. Oth erbrae, kindly patting her hand ; " be calm! You need go no where ; you nerd do nothing. Rolf will arrange it alL Rolf is tlie best fellow in tlie world. Just quiet yourself, and let him manage it all!" ; ,. And as Kolf,. in the other room, lieard the suppressed sobs of the be reaved daughter, he resolved within himself tliat not all tlie police asents in Christendom should wrest Ethel Dew- grove from beneath the a?gia of his pro lection. With these reflections in his mind, he went out to see the midnight train rush in, pause a second on its hurrying way, and then steam , onward, like a fire throated monster, with ; a vertebrae ot moving lights. 'Well, we ve cot em!" said. Simeon Pike, the conductor, as he swung a stout old lady ofi the lower steps to Roll's protecting hand. ,;, ; -cjot whom?" Tlie forgers! Went on to Slieltoii Point.
