K. It M Bf. tftv OUB NEW YOBK LETTER, The. eonchlns Club Political The Children's Opera Pictures. 1876. Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser. New York, May 6, THE COACHING CLUB. It is a terrible thing to have too much money. Indeed, I am not cer tain that It is not better to have too little. Tho last agony of young New York, with too much money, Is coach ing. What Is coaching? A very simple thing. Men with fine horses who think there is comfort in the old fashioned Btago coach, went to Eng land and had built for them old-fashioned stage coaches just such, gentle reader, as you saw on the roads twen ty years ago, fitted out complete with boot for baggage, and everything else, as it was in the days when coach es, or stages as we call them, were the only means of conveyance. They put to them four blooded horses, and they put themselves in the uniforms of drivers, and they load on the roof all their lady friends, and they drive ihem. That is all there is about It. It means that a certain number of rich j'oung men choose to transform themselves into stage drivers. There is a club of these amiable luuatics in New York, the head lunatic being young James Gorden Bennett, the proprietor of the Herald. Last Sat urday the club made its first parade. Seven stage coaches, rather more oost y in style than those you used to see on your roads, drove up In front of the Union League Club, seven very rich young men habited as coaobmen took their places on the seven boxes, forty-five very rich, and not at all beautiful, young ladles mounted the roofs, and with the utmost solemnity the cortege drove off, up fifth avenue to the park, and baok again. The Btreets were lined with people to see this procession, from Madison Square all the way to the park ; and If the objeot of the parade was to at tract attention, the gentleman-stage drivers may be congratulated. But Isn't it queer that in the day of BteBtn men should attempt so absurd a thing as the revival of the stage coach? The horses on these ooaches are the best that money can buy, and they are groomed to a degree that 1b almost painful. By the way, the ab surd English fashion of outting the tail af the horse in the shape of a club, has been adopted here. Pray let it be eouflned to New York, for it is an ugly era POLITIC Al. The Democrattio State Convention did two foolish things, viz: It en dorsed Sammy Tllden and snubbed John Morrissey. The convention by Its acts made It a certainty that every Bepubllcan in the oountry will vote his straight ticket, no matter how much he may have been disposed to holt. For Tammany John Kelly's Tammany run the machine from first to last. John Morrissey made a vigorous flgbf but was routed horse foot, and dragoons, and the Kelley was left in complete possession of the field. Tilden was endorsed, and if he wins the nomination he goes before the people as the nominee of the most villainously corrupt organization that ever existed. He goes into the can vass as tho espeolal creature of the old Tammany ring reorganized the Tweeds and Connollys under other names. I have no especial admira tion for John Morrissey, but I must say that he did make a good fight and an apparrently honest one against these villains. But Tilden's mouey, and the Tammany organization were too much for him, and down he went. The decent portion of the Democracy of New York ore very r80re over' the result, and with a good;-candidate the Repub licans can oaolly aarry tho State. Tammany has recovered from its de feat last fall, and is arrogant as ever. Let the Cincinnattl Convention give the Republicans a good candidate, and let the St. Louis Convention nominate Tilden, and we can carry New York with perfect ease. to look at not to taste. But fancy how charming was the interior of the photograph saloon, with groups of miniature court people in gold and satin with blue and purple rose man tles, figures a la pompadour and wat teau, niched in the window seats, del icate faces, happy, tiny sprites, hardly as tall as their golden hair was long, presided and hovered over by anxious mammas in black satin and white bonnets. Whatfun it was to be hid den in the photographer's closet, and among the villainous BmelHng acids an chromates, and peep at the tab leaux and the gorgeous little sitters as they were taken. SOMETHING ABOUT PICTURES. The gallery of the late Wm. T. Blodgett sold at auction this week for over$90,000, a tidy sura to have lock ed up in pictures. Mr. Ta3'Ior John ston whose private gallery is one of the choicest in New York, opens It to the public in his own house in aid of the Women's CentennialFund, charg ing $1 admission, and the chance is eagerly sought. It Is expected that Mr. Stewart's pictures, for which' he paid fortunes, and which he kept jeal ously guarded from tho public will now be accessible. Those who do not care for pictures on any other account will have some interest in this collec tion, knowing thatit representsa value much above $50,000. Pietko. COOPER, BAIIiEY & CO.'S GREAT INTERNATIONAL SHOWS, Brownvill, Friday, May 19, 1876. ties: e 02sTXj"5r IBI3- SJKOW OUST EABTH. COOPER, BAILEY & CO.'S GREAT INTERNATIONAL TEN ALLIED SHOWS. A Slight 3Iistatc. THE CHILDREN'S OPERA, 'In aid of the Centennial," stares one at head of every pleasant project now-a-days, and people are pretty well pillaged on one pretext or anoth er. The last was the very pretty spectacle of "Cinderella" at the Acad emy of Music, given by two hundred and fifty fashionable families. Tab leaux from Mother Goose followed, and It was a pretty sight, the curled darlings, with flowing flossy hair, and clowdy white silver-spangled, dress es, with gauzy wings and wauds as fairies, all the romantic Mother Goose people Red Riding Hood with her basket, the Sleeping Beauty and the Enchanted Prince; and it won plenty of oompliments and plen ty of dollars from the admiring fam ilies and friends who filled the house. Perhaps the best fun was the next day, when the young performers all went down to Mora's the Spanish ar tist who takes the beauties and ce lebrities of the of the stage with such delicacy, to be photographed in cos tume. A crowd stood about the en trance to the gallery, on Broadway for hours, to catch a glimpse of each snowy dad-little figure as it fled from mamma's carriage up the steps. The boys were the handsomest in my eyes. There was one little prince in blue satin and silver court dress, whose mother ought to pray that he might go to heaven before he grows up to spoil one trace of his open, laughing beauty; and the fair boy in black sat in Continental dress, with white silk stockings and ruffl.es at his wrist, looked as if he had just stepped out of a picture, with his noble counte ananoe and grave, sweet air. The girls had marvelous, delicate complex ionstoo delicate for pleasure ; and, with their shrinking manners, seem ed like wandering moonbeams. Even the slender fragile creatures of fif teen who will bo debutantes next sea son, who held the parts of Continent al dames in flowered trains and pow dered hair, there was hardly one of them that looked substantial enough tp klsj. Like sugar angel?, they were A slim gentleman of rather seedy appearance, with a bag in his hand, calledataDanbury bank on Saturday, and asked to see the cashier. The boj' took a good look at the party, whom he saw to be a traveling agent of some kind, and then went into the back room with information. He re turned and said tho cashier was very busy just now. Tho stranger set his bag down, leaning against the wall, prepared to wait. "He'll have a good time if he waits till Mr. C comes out here,' whis pered the boy to the teller. "You bet," replied the teller with a jocular wink. But the man waited. Years of ex perience, perhaps, had taught him the wonderful sublimity of waiting, Once the cashier appeared in the door, but seeing the bore still there he preolpitately retreated. Shortly after he fled over to the other bank to tell the cashier of the way he had out witted the book fiend. He had been there but a minute or two when the slim man appeared and asked for the cashier. The offloial of that bank was obliged to admit his presence. "I want to make a deposit of $5, 000," said the slim man. "I was go ing to take it to tho other bank, but I got tired waiting for the cashier to come in." The cashier for whom he had wait ed shot back to his own institution, and when he got hold of that boy he gave him a clearer idea of singing sounds than he ever had before, or will, perhaps, ever have again. Dan bury I?eu8. im t m To Cook Beans. When beans are kept over a year or more they become rather difficult to cook tender. One way to accomplish it iB to soak them over night in soft water, and in the morning put them to boil putting a quarter of a teaspoonful of soda in the water The water must be turned off as soon as it boils, and changed two or three times. Have a teakettle of bell ing water ready to cover them when tho other is poured off, as cold water hardens them again. After they bo gin to crack open they should be put in the oven, with u piece of pork pre viously freshened, and water enough keep them from burning, and bake a couple of hours. Beans are a health ful and convenient dish and should often appear on a farmer's table, be ing as good or better when oold than they are when just cooked. A New York paper has discovered that tho difference between Democ ratic candidates for office and Re publican candidates is a marked one. It Injures a Republican if it is'proved that he has obtained money improp erly, but it has no such effect upon a Democratic rival; his party friends expect It of him. uJ $2r w sr xfcs to. sMx -krMsJ floras JSP First GrandTour by Rail Everything New, Grand, Fresh nnd Bright!
