New YORK, March 14, 1876.
um: BELKNAP SCANDAL.
The Belknap scandal created _a profound
sensation, for the prosecuting witness is a
prominent man here, and Mrs. Belknap is as
well known in society here as she is in Wash.
ington. This is a clear case of feminine ex-
travagance. The present Mrs. Belknap
was the sister of the Secretary‘s first wife.
She was a Tomlinson, of Harrodsburg, Ky.,
and was a higll-fiyer of the highest flying
kind. She was wont to come to New York,
and ‘make the most extravagant purchases,
for her principal ambition was to outshine
every woman in Washington, native or for-
eign. And she did it. Her dresses were the
most gorgeous, her equipages were the most.
costly, and she was surrounded with servants
ol' the most expensive nature. It was given
nu~‘ in \‘l'nshington that she did not depend on
the Secretary’s salary—he had no means be‘
yond thut--—but that she had inherited wealth
the income of which was sufficient to justify
all this extravagance. At her home the story
was that the Secretary had made some lucky'
spechlations before he went into the cabinet,
whic l accounted for it all where the inheri-
tance story would not go down. All this
time they were selling traderships, and spend-
ing the proceeds in this foolish way. There
can be no doubt that the woman had the man
completely under her thumb—that so infatu-
ted was he with her that he would have sto-
len ten times the amount, had she desired it.
The man was doubtless honest originally, but
oh, how weak! The merchants of New York
' suffer severely by this exposure. It is ru-
mored that Mrs. Belknap owes vast sums of
money to the fashionable dry goods men and
jewelers here, which, as the Belknaps have
spent all Of their stealings, they will lose.
run EPIDEMIC or run snAsox.
Malaria and ignorance of ventilation will
soon make New York no lit place for white
people to live in. If fever and ’ague, dipthe-‘
ria, scarlet fever and Smallpox holdtheir own
a very few years longer as they are doing now
the city will soon be as untenable as Staten
Island, where rich people are deserting their
villas, because the place is so deadly with
ugues. This month the fashionable epidemic
is a malignant influenza, which visits human-
kind as it did horses two years ago. The
doctors call it by no fancy name, only a
“plain coll ,” and the Madison Avenue pre-
scription for its treatment is—neither bella-
donna, no “internal exhibition of" acofiite, or
any other high sounding drug, but equally
plain catnip tea, made doubly strong, which
is administered not more for the sake of
breaking up the cold, by a good sweat, as for
its valuable and recently discovered proper-
ties in quieting the nerves. Fancy a bowl of
Lady Washington china breathing the sooth-
ing incense of balm tea, administered to an
interesting invalid wrapped in an azure blank-
et, soft as velvet, and you have the elegance
of influenza. But for real virtues, I prefer
the old style, a cracked blue'bowl, steeped in
generations of teas, with a quart of deep
brown liquid smoking hot, to be taken in
three gulps—Ugh! the stoutest cold fled af-
frighted at the thought of a second dose. But
talk of plain coldsethe new variety Success-
l‘ull y combines the horrors of neuralgia, rheu-
matism, lulnbago, catarrh, fever and ague,
and getting drunk, and one crawls out of an
attack feeling like a cabinet officer just in-
vestigated. ~
POLITICAL.
The local politicians of New York are mak-
ing a stir for Conkling’s nomination for the
Presidency, but do not make much head-
way. There are many excellent men in the
city who would be glad to see Conkling in
the Presidential chair, and there are a great
many who would not. But there are athous-
and or more political bummers, who would
support anybody whose friends will “put up,"
and this class are unfortunately all for Conk-
ling, he being the first 'New Yorker mention-
ed for the place. They are organizing“Conl<-
ling clubs," all over the city, and are making
a great deal of noise, but I am happy to say
» that they all have a hungry look. They are
not getting the rations they expected, nor will
they. Senator Conkling is a gentleman and
pure man. He would of course like to be
President—I wouldn’t mind it myself—but
he never did a dirty thing, and he never will.
He will never pay bumn‘xers,—he will never
support a body of mercenaries, norwiil' he use
lmdue influence. The bummers who are
shouting Conkling at this time are doing -it at
their Own expense, and they are getting sick.
The supplies don’t come, and these fellows
never do anything at their own charges-that
is for any length of time. Consequently their
zeal will very soon abate. The factis New
York isn‘t very anxious to have a candidate.
There are two or three different factions in the
city, and they are mortally afraid of each
other. They would all rather have a new
man rather than have any one who has ever
mixed in city or state politics. The Democ-
racy are hardly any better off. Tilden can-
not get the undivided support of the party in
the city, and for that matter no one can. So
far as New York is concerned it will not
make much of a show of influence in either
convention. The liberals, what is left of
them, are'waiting for the highest bidder, but
there arc-so few of them that no one consid-
crs‘théfiitwOr'th a bid.
, run nlrronnonn MEETINGS
are still wonderfully filled, and it is as un-
fashiOnable not to go and hear Mr. Sankey
sing as not to hear Titiens or VonBulow, or
any other light of the musical or dramatic
world. The Hippodrome is still packed at
mid-day and evening, and the religious move-
ment is treated with the’ greatest respect by
the papers, But a visit to the meeting con-
vinces a candid person, that the reason of the
great audiences drawn together is not Mr.
Moody’s earnestness, or Mr. Sankey’s sing-
ing, of which he has grown as chary of late
as a pet tenor‘in opera, but' the number who
take a serious interest in religion. There are
thousands of genuinely good people in the city
who believe that religion outweighs all other
interests, and are drawn to these meetings,
hoping for good.
.1, run LABOR nxuxnr.
”.rcfully compiled tables show that almost
half of the skilled labor of the city is
e, and that wages for those in employment
we been cut down nearly One-half. The
brick-layers, who two years ago were getting
$4.50 a day, are glad to work now for $1.50,
while laborers who were firm in their demand
for $3.00 are, , glad to get work at any price.
. There is very little building going on, and
but very little repairing, and in regular man-
uf'acturing there is absolute stagnation. It is
a curious thing that piano making‘ is the only
trade which kccpsoits hands all employed,
and at old wages. Pianos are luxuries and it
would seem‘that this trade would bc-the first
to fall off, but it is not so. That trade is just
as brisk as ever. The charities are of coufie

The Statesman and the Heiress.
ROMANTIC EPISODE OF THE EARLY LIFE OF
WILLIAM L. MAROY.
/
William L. Marcy was called to the bar in
October, 1811. Acting under the advice of
friends, he opened up office ill Troy, N. Y., ,
and commenced the practice of his profes-
sion. . He was surrounded by experienced
arid gifted lawyers who controlled the hon-
ors and emoluments of their profession.
Young Illarcy, deficient in those brilliant
and ready talents so attractive to the public,
though possessing erudition and strong intel.
lectual powers, did not at first meet with
professiopal success, but taking an appeal to
the future, he awaited patiently the develop-
ments of time. With great labor and perse-
verance he perfected himself in those old
acquirements which subsequently rendered
him conspicuous before the world as lawyer,‘
judge, diplomatist and statesman.
Among the characteristics that distinguish-
he early days of Mr. Marcy's profession.
al life was carelessness in regard to dress.
Though he was not, like Martin Grover, ac-
customed to appear in dilapidated attire,
still he held fashion and her votaries in con-
tempt. His boots were often left for weeks
without polish, and his hair, to say the least
never appeared in Hyperion curls, and, with-‘
:11, by casual acquaintances he was‘regarded
as a very dull and inactive young man. But
his personal appearance was in .his favor.
He was slightly above the ordinary height,
“stout and masculine, but not gross ; his
forehead bold and full, his eyebrows heavy,
his eyes deep set and expressive, his mouth
and chin firmly moulded ; his manners were
affable and courteous, free from pretense,
yet dignified.” He was easy, pleasing and
and cultivated circles young Marcy, notwith-
standing his indifferent attire, was a favorite,
though coxcombs attempted to makedllm
the subject of raillery.
His office was in a allfione story build-
ing, surrounded by railing or veranda;
Directly opposite _his office there was a fash-
ionable female seminary. In pleasant weath-
er he would seat himself on the veranda,
this position he would watch the gambols of
the young ladies on the play ground of the
school or engage in pursuing his favorite
studies. His unpolished boots, thus conspic-
uously exhibited, were often the subject "f
merriment among the fair students. Though
young Marcy was wanting in these external
qualities constituting what is called “a
ladies’ man,” his society was by no means
distasteful to the fair sex, especially to those
who had the penetration to understand the
real beauties of his character and to appreci-
ate his abilities. Among the more advanced
pupils of the seminary wls a Miss Dubois,
a young lady from Springfield, Mass., an'
heiress and very .beautiful. Marcy had
frequently met her at the residencelof a lady
friend in Troy. For some time a respectful
friendship existed between her and the young
lawyer. . She was pleased with the graces of
his mind, the variety and extent of- his
knowledge, the superiority of his intellect.
There was a charm in his conversation which
unconsciously revealed the mental resources
gence in others. Miss Dubois possessed that
charming versatility that belongs of right to
woman—the faculty of suiting her fine intel-
lect to all whom it encountered—of so tem-
pering her subtle wit with feminine grace as
to exempt her from enmity Or malice, and
that pride which is the necessary result 'of
superiority she wore easily and gracefully.
These were those elements in the friendship
between young Marcy and Miss Dubois which
naturally ripen into deep attachment and ar-
there was no affair of the heart blended with
it. , But those who were aware of their in-
timacy not understanding its nature,naturally
put another construction upon it, and a re-
port reached the ears of the faculty Of the
seminary that Marcy was an accepted suitor
of Miss Dubois. The rule of the institution
strictly fOrbade g young ladies from re-
ceiving any atte on from gentlemen ; and
the parents of the lady had strongly enjoined
upon the faculty the enforcement of this
rule in regard to their daughter. Therefore,'
lawyer caused 'an unpleasant sensation in
the seminary, and Miss Dubois was strictly
forbldden to have any further association
with Marcy. The report even reached her
father, who hastened to Troy, determined to-
remove his daughter from the seminary.
But her explanation of the matter was suffi-
cient, and he returned home satisfied that all
reports connecting the name of his daughter
with Mr. Marcy were groundless.
A few weeks after her father’s vifi Miss
'Dubois obtained permission to visit Albilny
with some friends. Some time after her ’def
parture it occurred to one of the pupils of
the seminary who had interested, herself in
the affair of Miss Dubois and Mr. Marcy to
quite an extent, that, although the day was
delightful, the young lawyer had not been
seen in his accustomed place oaths veranda
of his office. On making proper inquiry she
learned that he had not been there at all that
day. This aroused her curiosity and excited
her suspicions, leading her to make further
inquiry, and she was informed that he accom-
panied Miss Dubois to Albany. Without
further consideration she-believed that: an!
elopement had taken place, and immediately
informed the faculty that young Marcy and
Miss Dubois had fled to Albany for the pur-
pose of being clandestincly married. This
aroused them to the highest pitch of excite-
ment, g'l‘he‘rumor ran like wildfire through
the institution, reaching the city in a short
space of time. There was a strange hurry-
ing “to and fro" in the seminary—constema-
tion was mingled with the silent n'lirth which
the affair created among many of the ladies
who really enjoyed the scene. Cupid had
slyly founda lodgmént within those‘walls
dedicated to science and study, though all
thought the little winged god was sternly
forbidden there-filo many known only in the
beautiful dreams of- girlhood. ' Yet Ehé‘ actu-
allyrhad been a sojournes in that temple of
science. Oncggfi its fairest inmates had'
yielded to his witchcry—had fled to his en-
chanted bowers. Fearing that the wrath
and influence of the young lady's father‘and
her other friends would be turned against the
institution, and dreading the odium which
'ZMarcy was not prespnt.
‘ ‘ “ I am Miss Dubois, sir. What do you

u _n
mediate pursuit was decided upon. The.
sheriff Pf the county, with a peace. genitalia,
was sent in pursuit and proceeded ' with” hot
hasgeitq. Albanv [learning that .1110 lady.
was at out of the principal hotels 1111116» city, ,j
,- he rushe l hith'ér, eager to forbid théibalis be-
fore it was '. 0 late. Sans ceré'mony he
rushed into Eh". ladies’ . parlor. Miss Dubois

but to the astonishiné’nt "Of the éherifl young
The officer had eu-.
tered the room sternly determined on break-
ing the'chalns that love had‘forged with the
strong arm of the law. He had anticipated
tars, cries and shrieks from the lady, ming—
led with'deep curses from her lover ; but no
ardent lover was there—no priest about to
pronounce the solemn but happy union could
be seen. '
The lady and Ler friendstnkengby surprise
at the sudden entrance of the sheriff and his
assistants, started to their feet in alarm.
One of the ladies present summoned courage
enough to demand of the officer what he
meant by hisintrusion. Confused and ,em-
barrassed by the awkward position he found
himself in, he said :
“ We—we—huve—that is—we want to
find lawyer Marcy and Miss Dubois. We
are told—"
mean, sir ?"
“ Why,t eople at the " seminary said
that you ha _ one off together to—to get
married, and—_" ' ’
“ And so they sent you in pursuit of us,
I suppose? You will not arrest me on more
suspicion, will you ‘r‘”
“ We' must obey orders, madam. 'I have a
warrant against Mr. Marcy for abduction-—
-that is for carrying you ofi—for they made
that out before the justice,” said the officer.
The deep, clear, silvery laugh of Miss Du-
bois, inwhich her companions joined, rang ;
through' the room at this announcement, :-
while the sheriff and his assistants, finding
themselves “sold," as the saying is, retired,
greatly chagrinednt their singular adventure.
It happened that shortly after Miss Dubois
and her friends left Troy, Mr. Marcy, having
business in Albany, proceeded to the city
alone by stage. Having transacted his busi-
ness he returned home alone, as he came, to
the surprise of the citizens and his friends
who verily believed he had eloped with the
pretty heiress. His own astOnishment was
unbounded when informed of the commotion
and excitement which he had unconsciously
caused-at the seminary especially—when he
learned that during the day is was believed,
throughout the city that he. had absconded,
with a clandestine marriage in view ; that
for the time being he had abandoned the law
for Gretna Green. Nothipg' could exceed
'the mortlfication at the seminary at the use-
less and ludicrousexcitement- which they had
produced. For a leng time thiselopement
made much merriment in all the circles, both
at Troy and. Albany» None, however, en» ,
joyed the joke 'with a keener relish
Marcy and his fair friend.
At length she graduated and returned to
be friends, leaving the young lawyer to plod
on towards tit fame that awaited him. In
the course of time Miss Dubois married a
highly respectable citizen of Boston, with
whom she lived in great happiness and pros
perity.‘ Withthe‘ lapse. Of time honors ac-
cumulated upon William L: Marcy. He was
elevated to the bench» of the supreme court
of the State of New York. _He occupied the
gubernatoriol chair, and afterwards become
a member of the United State Senate and
then Secretary of State in the cabinet of the
President of the United States, gaining ”hon-
ors as minister of State- which few of his
predecessors had attained. While a Senator
in Congress, he attended one» of those splen-
did receptions given by a distinguished Olli-
cial to the heads of departments, senators,
members of congress and other eminent per-
sons entitled to an invitation. In the course
of the evening a lady, whose beauty, accom-
plishments, fascinating manners, and reputed
wealth attracted much attention in the fash-
ionable circles, of Washington, approached
Mr. Marcy. She was leaning on the arm of
a‘ very "dignified and courtly gentleman.
“ Senator,” she said with a graceful saluta-
tion, “I cannot resist my desire to renew an
acquaintance with you, once the source of
great pleasure and profit to me. Do you not
recognize in me an old friend ?” l
“ Certainly I do. You are, or rather were
Miss Dubois. I am delighted to meet you
again ; nothing could give me greater pleas-
ure," said Mr. Marcy, after a moments’s hes-
itatiou.
“ Permit me to introduce to you my hus- _
band, Mr. D—of- Boston,"‘said the' lady.
“Mr. D—”’ she continued, “this is the Hon. ,
William L. Marcy, whom you know so well
by reputation. He is an~old friend of mine.
I once eloped with him ; but I trust you
will forgive him, as you have me, for it was
only an indiscretion of our youth.”
“ Such elopements are easily forgotten,
senator," said Mr. D—, “especially since the
one Mrs. D— alludes to has afiorded not]
fund of amusement from our first r‘ahquaint-
ance.” -
“ It was so well managed that neither of
us knew anything about it until it was all
over," said Marcy. _ .
The story of the elopement soon found its
way into Washington society, where it was
the subject of much merriment. -
“ Marcy,” said President Jackson, at one
of his receptions, at which Mrs. D—- and her
husband were present, “Marcy, by - the
Eternal, if I had been in your place I should
have given full occasion for the report of an
elopement withthat splendid woman Why
did you not 1" ‘
‘ ‘ Because, Mr. President, I had my eyes on a
still lovelier woman—the futureMrs. Marcy,”
was the reply. .
“ Ah, thatwas all right ; an excellent ex-
planation,” said the president—Rafa

remember are timid: they are born so. The
first day, we simply put the saddle without.
the back-strap on, buckling up the'belly-band
loosely. This is done many times, increas-
ing the presure. The we take the neck-collar
and put it over his head, first permitting him
to smell of it, and touch it’with hisnose, un—
til he is entirely convinced that it is not cal-
culated to hurt him. ' In like manner we add
part to part 'until the colt is fully harnessed.
He is then allowed to stand with harness on
until he has timeto reflect upon the .whole
mutter. and become accustomed to the pers-
sure Of the harness against his sensitiveskin;
for we must remember that all this perform-
ance seems very queer to him, and startling. '
When he has full composed his mind, and
settled down into the conviction that every-
thing is all right and asit should be with him,
he is then walked about, the harness still
being on, and brought back every few min-
utes to the spot where he is to be unharnos-
sod, and taught to stand as long as it would
naturally take to removethe harness. Straps

and collar cased; in short, everything“ done
that would be done in unharnessing, save ac-
tually removing the harness. After several
times, this standingatill while blag unhar-

THE SPELLING CLASS.
See‘that crevice in the floor——
Slender line from desk to door,
First meridian of the school,
Which all the scholars toe by rule.
Ranged along in rigid row,
Inky, golden, brown and tow,
Are heads of spellers high and low,
Like notes in music sweet as June,
Dotting off a dancing tune.
Boy of Bashan takes the lead,
Roughly thatched his _bullet head;
At the foot an eight-year old,
Stands with head of trembling gold:
Watch her when the word is mused' 1
Her eyes are like an amethyst,
Here fingers dove-tailed, lips apart;
She knows that very word by heart!
And swings like any pendulum,
Trembling lest it fail to come.
Runs the word along the line, :
Like the running of In vine,
Blossoms out from lip to lip,
Catches breath and spells the word,
Flits up the class like any bird,
Cheeks in bloom with honest blood,
And proudly stands where Bashan stood.

Ringing for the Water Boy.
A good story is told of a verdant one who
was passdger in a railroad express train, and -
who became thirsty.

be queried of his nearest neighbor.
“He has gone forward to the baggage car,
I suppose,” was the reply.
“Wall, d’ye s’posc I can git him back here
agin ?n . .
“Certainly,” said the ‘ other; “you have
only to ring for him.” And he nodded to-
ward the bell line that ran above their 1nd;
N o sooner said than done. Before anyone
could prevent it, Rusticus had seized the line
{11d given it a tremendous tug; The conse-
quences were at once obvious; three shrill
whistles were heard, half a dozen brakemen
ran to their posts, and the train came 'to a
standstill with a suddenness that startled half
the passengers with astonishment, and caused
every man next a window to hoist it and look
mt to see what was the matter.
In a few minutes the conductor, red and
excited, came foaming into the car to know
who pulled that bell-rope.
“ Here, miiter, this, way; I’m the man,’
lhouted the ofiender, drawing all eyes upon
him. '
“ You l" said the chductor, “and what did
you do it for l”
“ ’00s I wanted some water.”
“ Wanted some water ?"
“ Sartain; I wanted the water boy, and my
pardner here in the seat said I'd better ring
for him, as we do at the hotel, an’ so I yank-
ed the rope. Will he be along soon? An’ by
the by, what inthunder be you stoppin' for l"
‘ The shout of laughter that greeted this hon.
est confession was too much for the conduc-
tor, and he had to wait till he had explained
the mysteries of the bell-rope to his verdant
customer. —Bouon 00m. Bulletin.

MISSED. A CAR.
A good story is told of a. gentleman. well.
known in town in connection with a late visit
at his toa drug-store. The gentleman's name
is Carr. There are several Carrsrin the city,
however, and the given name of this portions
inrvone will notbe revealed in this item for
worlds. This Carr wanted some medicine for
his family the other night after twelve o’clock,
and visited a drug-store to obtain it. The
irugstore was closed and he rang the bell
vigorously. The druggist at once put his
lead out of an upper window and inquired,
Ileepily :
“ Who’s there ?”
“ Mr. Carr,” responded the gentleman at
the bell. .
“ Missed a car ? Well, what's that to me;
confound you? Stop ringing that bell and go
about your business, mun 1”
Down went the window and the druggilt
was lost to sight: The discomfited Mr. Carr
was lost in amazement for a time, but finally
seized the bell and rang it frantically. I The
druggist’s head appeared at the window again.
He was wide awake this time.
“ Who's there, now 1" . . . _
‘ “Mr. Carr, I tell you!" .
“Why, your impudencel Who cares,
if you have! Get out of that, quick! ‘ If
you're drunk and have missed a car it’s your
own lookout. Don't touch that bell again 1"
“BulfI tell you, you idiot, I’m Mr. ——~—-
Carr 3" / '
“ Oh, Lord! Why didn’t you say so before 1"
The window went down again and the drug-
gist soon appeared at the door .to explain vol-
ubly that he'd supposed he’d been aroused by
some drunken fellow who wanted sympathy:
Possibly he gave Mr. Carr something to peel-
fy him. Druggists sometimes keep pacific.-

In politeness, as in many other things _con-
nected with the formation. of charac‘ for,
people in general begin outside; wheughey
should begin inside; instead of _

politeness. Children maybe taught to m .
a graceful courtesy or. a gentleninnly how’;
but unless they have likewise been to ,‘t
to abhor what is selfish, and always -p e, '
another‘s comfort and pleasure to their own,
their politeness will be entirely artificial and
used only when it is their interest to use it.

present moment. If a thing pleases they are
apt to seek it; if it displeases they are prone
to avoid it- If home is the plane where faces _
are sour and words harsh, and fault-finding is
ever on the ascendant, they will spend as

A arbsr valuable MS. has been discovered
in the Azores. It refers to the colonization,
iu the year 1500, of the northern part of
America, by emigrants from Oporto, Aveiro,
and the Island of Terceira. It was written
by Francisco de Sotza, in 1570. Bar-bozo Ma-
chado states that it was lost during the great
earthquake of Lisbon in 1755. This most im-
portant document is about to be published by
an erudite Azorian gentleman, and will throw
great light on the disputed question of the ‘
early discovery of America—AWM.
