NEW YORK CITT , Nov. 23,18S5.
The cycle of time lias brought fr. Giovanni
P. MorosSni's name once more before the read-
Inp'public of New York and the country , and
.this time not so much as the stern father of a
runaway daughter , but as the representative
MOROSIXI.
of creditors who throw debtors Into durance
vile unless they can pay up certain much want-
cfl amounts. As Jay Gould's private secretary
Mr. Morosini has made quite a success of life ,
us the father of Victoria he became known to
tie reading people of the country as a rich
man with rather unforgiving tendencies tow-
nrJs a loving if rather ill mated pair , and now
he adds to his already established fame by the
imprisonment of Mr. William Heath , in Lud-
low street jail on a trifling matter of some half
a million dollars. This amount it appears the
banking house of William Heath & Co. held
in trust for Mr. Morosini , and. of course the
collaterals turned up missing whon the house
here and the branches in London and Paris
failed for some fourteen hundredthousanddol-
lars a short time since ! Consequently Mr.
Morosini is somewhat provoked over the mat
ter , and scuds the senior member of the firm
to Ludlow street , ilr. M. in fact does not ap
pear to have been in the hest humor necessary
for qualifying a man to lose half a million with
calmness for some time past , especially when
much of it represented elevated railroad stock
which had riMjn considerably since its deposit
with Heath fc Co. , and hadn't reached high
water mark yet , so that Jiis actual loss would
figure up much mgre than the face of the
stock would show , on the item of deposit.
Meantime while Mr. Morosini is having such
bad luck in monetary affairs , his pretty daugh
ter is playing at the Casino in this city , having
appeared with the Amorita troupe last week
VICTOISI.V HUISCAMP SCIIELLIXG.
In the roll of an artist with mandolin and song.
Many people go to see her , and arc disagreea
bly surprised that her identity is well nigh
disguised by her appearance with a number of
similarly attired artists , whose attire , by the
way , is of the reigning style now so prevalent
in all comic operas , and of the character that
Patti and Mary Anderson have invariably re
fused to allow photographs of themselves to be
taken in , a photograph dealer of this city having
offered as high as fifty dollars to a photographer
if he would fuinish him with a picture of
Patti so attired , which was not accepted , how
ever. Patti sometimes dresses in this manner
for the benefit of an audience , but never for
the purchaser of a twenty-five cent photograph.
It is astonishing to what a degree of complac
ency public taste has been educated in this
respect during the past few years , and the end
of it Is looked forward to with great misgiv
ings on the part of those who have closely
"watched the gradual inroad of this style of
dress upon the stage , there being no less than
three companies now playing in this city , at
three of our best known theatres , where it pre
vails with the great majority of the troupe , to
say nothing of the various other amusement
resorts where nothing else would answer In
this great metropolis. The Amorita troupe is
one step towards a more extensive wardrobe ,
however , the poorest dressed of the troupe
being endowed with at least a semblance of a
ekirt , and the anxious mothers of stage struck
daughters welcome it as a sign of returning
etagc drapery. The number of stage struck
young ladies in New York is something appall
ing , and the idea that they must of necessity
be recruited from the middle or lower ranks of
life is a great mistake. In the same troupe
with Miss Victoria Schclling there are several
young ladies who appear in the smallest parts ,
that of the chorus girl , objectionable costume
and all thrown in , whose parents are well to
do , and In one case at least where they live on
a fashionable side street adjoining Fifth Ave
nue. The young lady in question possessed a
good education , spent considerable money
goinfj through a preparatory Dramatic school ,
was noted as remarkably handsome , and yet
she has to content herself with the poorest
position , dress as the manager sees fit to get
up the costumes , and pose with some twenty
ether sfmilnrly attired young girls as a candi
date for future stage honors and present dude
opera glasses. It was not a pleasant task
either for her or for Mrs. Schelling , as was
plainly evident to those mio knew and watch
ed them both during the evening , although It
was likewise evident th'at both hoped to climb
the ladder of dramatic fame , and considered
this necessary ns /.epping stone. They nil
dd. There Is prob.tbly not a girl there who
does not expect to beome quite a star sooner
or latergencrally the stupidest of tnem expect
to star It soonest , and if they are advanced
ever so little and given the most unimportant
part jn a years time , they consider it a great
advancement , and hope on and hope ever until
finally they cither marry eome good-looking
youngjnan and leave the stage In disgust , if
they are particularly sensible , or linger on and
die in the belief that their genius entitled
them to a place which the cruel managers
never allowed them to reach. Probably one
per cent of these girls reach a fair position ,
nnd occasionally one gets to be a star , of the
Lilian Russell type , and the dramatic agencies
and some mamtgers feed the balance with
promises and rose colored pictures in lieu
thereof , and thev have to be conteat.

rnxEST HULSCAMP SCHELLINO.
This craze for the stage is b } ' no means con
fined to the feminine sex of this city , although
as a general thitg the men who are willing to
accept such subordinate positions are recruited
from the ranks of the needy and often from
the hosts of the great unwashed. It is very
seldom indeed that a young man of brains or
family can be induced to accept the part of an
ordinary chorus singer , prabably because they
don't take so kindly to taffy from the man
agers , and perhaps from the fact that there
are so many avenues open to them which the
female sex cannot tread. As an evidence of
this a recent advertisement in the Herald for
male chorus singers for a well known theatre
expressly stipulated that "the unwashed need
not apply , " while the same advertisement for
female chorus singers simply stated , "fifty
young ladies wanted to sing in the chorus. "
The difference in this advertisement will go
far to demonstrate the difference between the
two sexes when they meet upon the samo
ground in the chorus. Mr. Hulscamp Schel
ling it seems , is not one of the male stye desir
ous of becoming a shining light on the stage ,
and although he married a girl who would un
der ordinary circumstances have been worth a
quarter of a million at least , but whom her
father insists is now as completely dead to him
as if buried , he takes a sensible view of the
matter , and accepts a position as a conductor
on a Sixth Avenue street car. The coachman
who married an heiress failed to get very much
outside a loving if somewhat misguided girl ,
but he has gope to work m an honest fashion
to make a living , and although not particular
ly elevated , his position is worth from a dollar
and a half to two dollars per day , and this is
more than he could get to sing in some diabol
ically unmusically chorus. The craze among
the men for the stage , that is among the better
class , consists principally of a desire to obtain
the better parts , and while there are some ten
thousand or more who would be overjoyed to
become a second Edw in Booth , they positively
refuse to swell the thunder of a chorus at
fifty cents per night and the privilege of show
ing off a generally emaciated form under the
fascinating glare of the red lights.
THE SCALPER AXD 1US VICTIM.
The general public will be glad to learn that
an organized fight has at last been inaugurated
against the theatre ticket scalper by most of
the leading theatres. The impudence with
which the scalper has time and again held all
the good seats and the box oflicc none of
them , has been long familiar to every theatre
goer of this city. Sometimes the theatre has
been in league with the scalper , and one night
your correspondent saw the scalper turn in
his unsoled tickets at the box office about nine
o'clock at one of the theatres. They seem to
be in disrepute now , however , and Wallack has
petitioned the police to keep them off the side
walk in front of his theatre as a public nui
sance , while Daly and the Fifth Avenue
theatre positivelyrefuse to recognize tickets
purchased of a scalper , and get around it by
taking the name of everyone who buys tickets ,
and giving them slips calling for certain seats ,
not transferable , and really selling no regular
tickets at all , keeping the tickets , and giving
the slips to denotethat the seat is sold. This
has effectually done away with the scalper at
these theatres , and it is to be hoped that the
other places of amusement will follow suit.
One of these scalpers asked four dollars for
seats to Mary Anderson during her stay here ,
and a Wall Street broker north his million ,
who had brought two ladies in a carriage to
I see her in Rosaline , when he found this ex
travagant price staring him in the face , and
no seats at the box office , turned face about ,
and with the ladies re-entered the carriage ,
rather than stand the extortion , although he
explained to the scalper that he could buy the
theatre if he wanted to , but wouldn't pa\
twelve dollars for himself nnd friends to see
Mary Anderson , and then occupy scats in the
orchestra. When the millionaires feel thte
way , the ordinary every day citizen ocperl
enccs a desire to take a club and wipe every
scalper off the face of the earth.
The Opera Season opened at the Metropolit
an Opera House List Monday night with the
presentation of Lehengrin , in German , hut a
great number of the audience evidently didn't
understand the language , anJ took it for grant
'cd that tiny got their money's worth , juding
, from their looks. They would have done jus
the same thing had it been In Italian or dog
Latin , nnd will keep 011 doing it just as long as
opera is fashionable and seats come high , am
would think it heathenish not to have listened
! to the sweet but unintelligible strains of ai
; unknown tongue at least a dozen times during
the season.
Considerable interest is being manifested in
the sad facts of sensational journalism ii
London , and the sight of a leading editor
' serving out a year's term in prison is not a
very refreshing one for the lovers of the free
and sensational speech in this country. We
present below the features of Mr. Stead , the
editor of the fall Jfall Gazelle , who is noi\
paying the penally of his crusade against vice
by imprisonment as above , and whose cartel
as a sensational editor has been brought to a
sudden close thereby. Mr. Stead says that as
foon as he is released he will go on
in the even tenor of the way hu hac
marked out , and continue to make
EDITOR STEAD.
the Pall Jfall Gazelle the same paper it had
been made by him , but the proprietors of the
paper hold a different opinion it appears , and
are not particularly struck with the idea , ac
cording to the latest reports , and state that
they will have a little to say on the subject
themselves.
The grand jury has at last indicted Messrs.
W. S. Warner and Mr. J. H. Work for aiding
and abetting Ferdinand Ward in wrecking the
Marine Bank. They have also indicted Fer
dinand Ward as the leader in this little trans
action , and the indictment has been sent to
Sing Sing to stand against him and be served
when his time is out under the sentence of the
state court. It is currently reported that
more indictments will follow nhen the grand
jury meets next Monday , and there are several
uneasy heads which do not wear crowns and
trust they won't wear short hair in Gcthar
this week. Warner's statement of what was
done with ( he money appeared in the Monday
morning World , as an advertisement , in doub
le column style , together with a statement ex
onerating Warner , signed "accountant. " The
federal grand jury didn't pay any attention to
it. however , but indicted him that day just the
same. Sometimes it doesn't pay to advertise ,
and this money was evidently wasted , hut it
opens up a new field for the energetic advertis
ing agent , and if they profit by it , we will soon
see prominent trials foreshadowed by glaring
advertisements exonerating the defendants.
This is an age of progress and there is no tell
ing what we will come to j-et.
M. Bartholdi and wife sailed for France this
week , after having full } ' inspected the pedestal
for the great statue of Liberty. He says that
the statue will not be fully in position until
late next summer , and that it will take lully
five months to erect it after the pedestal is
done , and that w ill not be finished for two
months yet. While here he submitted two
models for the statue of Lafayette which the
government proposes to erect in Washington ,
and it is thought he will be awarded the con
tract over the other competitors , inasmuch as
his bids are said to be the lowest and his mod
els the best yet submitted.
Dr. Edson has organized a crusade against
red stockings in this city , having examined
them and found that they contain both arsenic
and antimony. He has had so many com
plaints from people wearing them that their
limbs became sore from it that the investiga
tion was ordered with the above result , and he
threatens to prosecute all dealers selling them
hereafter. lie says they all come from Saxony ,
and arc rank poison. Some folks wonder why
he stopped with the stockings , and especially
people who have bought red underwear other
than stockings. There are lots of people on
the street every dawho if they haven't anat
omy and arsenic in their underclothes , certain
ly look like it , and the crusade ought to ap
point a committee of examination.
The Baltimore & Ohio R. R. it seems is going
to gain an entrance to this city in spite of the
opposition of the Pennsylvania to this idea ,
coming in via Statau Island , and ferry boats
text the battery. This is a great thing for the
B. & 0. if it can be accomplished , and will put
it on a fighting basis with the other lines. If
it was any special help to the people to see new
lines enter the city they would take more in
terest in it , but unfortunately the more lines
there are , the higher go the pool rates , as a
general thing , since all have to be supported ,
and freight doesn't increase as facilities do.
The Baltimore & Ohio however Is generally a
fair road toward the public , who have a soft
spot for it because of the persistency with
which it holds on to telegraph wires for public
service in spite of the Western Union's efforts
to get hold of them , and also for the lower rates
it gives to points where they compete.
Judge Kennedy , of Syracuse , so far forgot
himself last Saturday as to issue an injunction
forbidding the New York Central from pur
chasing the Lake Shore , just as the matter was
about consummated. The Judge ought to
know better thun to insult the New York Cen
tral in this way if he wants to hold his position
for any length of time. President Chauncey
M. Depew , of the Central , however , lias given
him the benefit of the doubt , and in an inter
view states that Judge Kennedy is a good law
yer and an able judge , but he didn't know the
purpose his order was to be used for , Depew in
timating that it was to beat the market on
Central ctock , principally. However , if the
land abounded in Judges like Kennedy , ii
wouldn't abound in railroad presidents like
Chauncey M. Depew. Where one flourishes
the other doesn't , andAandor compels us to
sorrowfully remark that the climatic influences
of the 19th century in this section are more
favorable to the growth of railroad presidents
of this description than to judges like Judge
Kennedy , for whom the Central's opposition
appears to have no terrors , and the Central's
free pass no charm. SPIRTO GEXTIL.

THE POOE BAEMAID.
A Cnr'lons Bill N < iw Pending Before tho Par
liament of Victoria Seeking to Uakj
It Illegal to Employ Unrmnlds
in Public Houses Lia
ble to Become a
Law.
A bill "for tho abolitioa of bar
maids. " says The London Telegraph ,
sounds like a joke from "Alice in
Wonderland , " or from one of Mr.
Gilbert's burlesques. Nevertheless it
is a serious legislative proposal now
ponding before the parliament of Vic
toria. It is actually in print , and
makes it penal for any keeper ot a
public house to employ women behind
the counter. Of course , the advocates
of this astonishing idea have their ar
guments. They do not go quite so far
as Sir Wilfrid Ltiwson , who would dis
establish not only barmaids , but bar-
nieu and bars ; ihey would not shut up
nil dramshops , but they would make
them as dreary as possible , so as to
repel impressionable young men. In
Gothenberg'the spirit drinker is served
by a policeman , who keeps an eagle
eye upon him that he may know him
again , and refuse him a second glass
if he asks for it betore a certain inter
val has expired.The Victorian re
formers have a corresponding idea of
diminishing the attractions of intoxi
cation by surrounding the initial
stages with repellent rather Hutu en
ticing accessories. Instead of tho
smiling Hebes who have faeinated the
golden youth of the colon } ' , men will
servo as tapsters , and without note or
comment hand across tho counter the
required draught. The ofl'eet niay be
considerable , as male drinkers do"un
doubtedly take a delight in tho pleas
ant looks and bright talk of the yoti
ladies who , as the French say , "pr
sde" : at those establishments. But
should not the Victorian apostles of
abstinence go further ? It is well to
replace girls by men , and thus subdue
thi > bar to masculine dullness , but
could not tho act of parliament go on
to declare that nouo save plain , grim-
visaged should bo lollerated a * assist
ants ? The most inveterate toper might
hesitate to enter twice if he were al
ways met by tho ugly aspecc or some
dark , forbidding countenance. A kind
of competition might take place for
the posts , which might be given to tho
most repulsive people the govern
ment could select. Fearful squints
would be at a premium ; scowls would
be valued according to their blackness
and depth ; a ghastly grin would bo
desirable ; while a general cadaver-
ousnuss might be ucili/od a = s suggest
ing to drunkards tho probable end of
their career. The Gods of Olympus
laughed loudly when the swart , un
gainly Vulcan for once replaced Hebe
as their cup bearer. It would bo no
joke for the young1 idlers of Melbourne
to lind stern , grim men frown ug over
the counters where ouco they were re
ceived with "nods and becKs and
wreathed smiles.
Wo presume ( hat there mus5 be
"mashers" in Victoria , for the "mash
er" is the great cause of the barma.d.
Just as Darwin has told us how the
absence or presence ot'certain insects
determines dyins-out or growth of
certaiu Jlowers.so it may oe sa d that ,
until there arose a class of young men
to whom lounging across a bar and
talking to a young lady seemed tho
supreme lelicity ot life , the existence
of barmaids could not bo sustained.
In primitive times and in primitive
places men served men , who silcutlvr
iook their glaaS , and as silently stole
away. Then came a Columbus of pub-
. : c houses , wli. * pondered over the
problem how to retain these transitory
visitors. Suddenly it Hashed across
lim that there were young men
"whose only books were women's
ooks , " and who could bo drawn and
retained by a library of such volumes
n-efctiiy "bound , " and otl'ered for in
spection. Then the desired result was
secured. The youngster who came for
one glass rema nod lor two. To sec
5om young ladies ! > to .idmiro them ;
to admire is to address them. Talking
and Iftu rhing arc dry work , when the
most dumfoundcd young man when at
a less for a new rem irk can always
ceep the ball rolling by asking for
auotner drink. Some philosophers
opine that it was not the "masher"
who caused the barmaid , but tne bar-
naul has , so to speak , developed the
'masher. " This is probably the idea
or the Arictoriaus. They are followers
of Sir Willrid in a limited way. lie
jelioves that if there was no blrong
Jrinkiug there would be no vice ; they
lulievo that if there were no bar
maids there would be no strong drinks.
Tluy forsce a bright future all tho
frivolous \ outh of the colony turned
i\Vi > r from saloons and bars , pursuing
not couifter-wenches , but noble aims ,
and devoting to stock-raising , gold-
ligging , or money-making the hours
now wasted on giggling girls. We
only hope that this bright anticipation
will be fulfilled ; ynt we gravely doubt.
Tho barmaid will bo turned out of
work , all on account of her
loo potent influence over young
men , and the "masher" must
cease to cling to that bar which
utherto has principally supported his
youthful and attenuated lorra. Bar-
iiaid and "masher. " however , will
still exist : they will live in the same
colony ; there is no law forbidding them
to meet on sidewalks or at festivities ;
while starVinir girls deprived of their
only moans of livelihood , can saywith
; ruth to every masher they meet :
'
"But for you I might still be'drawing
beer at the lied Lion or smiling sweet
it the Blue Boar. O ! why did nature
make me so lovly and you so .suscep-
tible ? " Such an appeal from the lips
of disestablished beauties sent begging
jecause they were too attractive might
jave a vory'fasuinatingefl'oct on young
men deprived at tho"same time of
; heir accustomed amusements and
jaunts. The colonial legislature
should look to it , and if they pass
; heir act they should , we think , sup-
aleme'nt it by some clause borrowed
: rom old puritan legislation discour-
.i iuir tho meetin r of all young people
excepting under tiie supervision of
elderly men or parish ollicers. Or a
comprehensive scheme for the expul
sion of all barmaids and all mashers
to separate colonies would more thor
oughly socuro the ond in view. Mod
erate measures are of no avail when
wo see two such dangers as "blue
ruin" and bright eves combined be-
hind the samo bar. If , as Victorh
thinks , barmaids are tho origin of evil
and , as they are daughters of Eve ,
perhaps they are tho most thorough
and drastic measures for their extir
pation aro the best. Wo may yot SRC
tho masher and tho barmaid"expelled
together from tho paradise of Victor
ia , where virtue , sobriety , and indus
try will henceforth reign. Hand-in-
hand they will go out , and like oui
first parents , drop some "natural
tears" over their past delights "wip
ing them soon , " as they llit to En < r-
land or America , to "hold their heads
to other stars , " ' and resume across
other counters , in other lands , theii
interrupted philandering.
Barmaids arc not only traceable to
mashers ; they belong to"our mechan
ical age. The drawer of old , tho pot
boy of nearer times , was a strong-
armed man or lad who could descend
to a cellar , draw beer , and emerge
balancing a miraculous number of full
pots. This was rough , hard , dirty
work , not suitable for elegant young
ladies. Somebody , however , invented
a means by which a handle pulled on
a counter drew up from below the
right kind of liquor , and then white-
armed Hebes became possibilities.
Young women soon learned the tricks
of the trade. As servants they found
[ jood looks little advantage ; as bar
maids all their attractions were part
of their outlit. Other employers frown
ed on their "fomalo hands" wasting
time in talk ; but tho more & barmaid
smiles or chats , or makes the place
lively , the more her employer values
her Here , then , was a new profes
sion for girls unskilled in anything but
that platonic llirtation which nearly
all women , even tho mo t innocent ,
dearly love. Then the barmaid has
several advantages over her sister of
the samo rank the parlormaid or tho
cook. She is called "miss ; " she can
dress becomingly , and is not obliged
to wear a cap. Her work is lightened
by social converse , sometime by anec
dotes and jokes ; she hears plenty of
chaff , and sees many faces come and
go. On tho other hand , her work is
very hard. She can seldom or ever sit
down ; the hours are cruelly long , and
few can stand it after 'JO. The pay ,
too , is seldom high enough to permit
saving. It seems a pit ) 'that while the
ranks of this avocation are overcrowd
ed for every vacancy there are ter
applicants domestic service has few
competitors. The life of even a hard-
worked London servant does not iu-
volvt * one-fourth of the physical labor
of a barmaid's toil , for she has her
kitcken or pantry to herself and whole
hours for rest. But then her time is
rarely quite her own , and she misses
independence that attaches to the
brighter business. What tho uuem-
plo\ed girls of Victoria will do when
turned out nobody seems to know.
Out there domestic servants have lib
erties so large tint they ma } ' even bo
come maids-of-all-work without much
los.s or possiblv the marriage market
may absorb them in a community
where men are in the majority , and
therefore can not all command wives.
The banished b irmaids may , therefore ,
become tho happy mothers of future
generatoiis who will solve the social
problems with the light hearts of their
male ancestor , tho Australian "mash-

As we rodo out from a town in Mis
sissippi to view a plantation a com
mercial traveler for a New York house
3\pressed a desire to go alonir. Ho
procured a horse and joined the party ,
[ ind his company was welcomed. A
mile and a half from town wo came to
: i written notice , posted on a board ,
ind everybody stopped to read it. It
was a notice of sheriff's sale , and the
solored man who tacked it up was still
su the ground. The notice was badly
ivritten and wor.- spelled , and the
Irummer laughed loud and long over
"caf" for calf , "dot" for debt , and
"shenif" for sheriff.
"What's wrong wid dat notis ? "
vsked tho colored man in a very edgy
roice.
"It's too funny for anything , " was

The drummer was advised against
esistance and finally permitted , him
self to be taken beforo a colored Jus-

L'he Constable had picked up a color-
Hi man on the way , who made and

ner was duly arraigned on the charge ,
ilthouirh his Honor seemed very un-

"Your Honor , who is this court ? "
"I is , sah , " was the dignified reply.
"Has this man shown any contempt

"Then how can you try him for con-

The old man scratched his head ,
