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, 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

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.

And yet there are southern papers
