VAN‘bEn’éi'LT'mmâ€"w A W Scene of Wealth and BeantY. -1¢ew York‘s wannabes Enjoy- tux Themselves. (lluqzr's Razor). It is rarely the case that an entertainment is so widely talked aboutand so long and so eagerly anticipated as was thisâ€"a hall which had even turned a rumor so dis: blc, ovensofrightful, as that the Communists meant to attack the house and to sack it, with its immeasurable wealth of jewelry, bric-s-bruc, silver and gold, and objets (f'arls on this eventful evening. It is seldom that such an entertainment gOes off so serenely, without accident and without a single un- toward event, as did Mrs. W. K. \'auder-_ bilt’s famous fancy ball. The guests on arriving at the white marble doorway in Fifth Avenue were told to order their carriages at four o'clock. All around the neighborhood a black dense mass of figures waited to see the guests alight. A large force of policemen kept back this crowd, which looked dangerous. “'hetber the great question of wealth rersus poverty, which agitatcs all minds now, was upper- most in their minds, or whether it was mere- ly curiosity, one cannot say. It was a pic- turesque contrastâ€"tho cold gloomy night without, the unrivalled light and luxury within. As one entered the spacious hall, and was led by a powdered footinan to the wide staircase, - A 5235:; or vmxrss overcame the azer. It was like Milan Catli- cdrul, this wi dcrness of white marble and stained glass. Tho broad staircase, like that in a feudal chateau, was wide enough for a troo of cavalry to ride up, and with its gmdu ascent, broken by frequentturns, it might be ascended by horses. Indeed. a charge of the light brigade of hobby~horscs was made later dowa its splendid extent. The ladies were shown into a grand state bedroom, where a four-poster hung in tapes. try stood at one endâ€"just such a bed as one sees in palaces abroad, or in the pictures by fiacroix. Out of this apartment Opened u fairy-like dressingroom, all mirror, painted ovor with apple blossoms, and with an ala- baster bath-tub fit for Undiiio to take her swim in. Beyond this room another mag- nificent apartment opened, where sat a little nun writing, a regular “bonnc srcur do bdu sccours," very pretty, and her black robcsacontrast to the gay and glittering dresses which constantlydirrivcd Hero gathered Mary Stuart.Lady \Vashing- ton, Masher Goose, Mary Quito Contrary, Carolina Cornaro, a Gipsy,and all the char- acters of tho opera boufl'c, ready to go down when the time come. It was eleven o'clock before the company descended to the superb li‘rcnch drawing-roomâ€"u room a la Louis' Quinzcâ€"whero Mrs. Vanderbilt :urd Lady Mundovillo sat to receive their guests. They had been standing long, and were worn out. Both were in Venetian or Italian costumes.Lady Mandevillo wholly in black, Mrs. Vanderbilt in light col- ors, with a Milan bonnet covered with diamonds. The student of costume will find this Milan bonnet in Shakespeare’s play of Ali‘s Well that Ends Well, in Knights Pica torial Shakes re. It radiates from the face like n ha 0, and is very becoming. Mr. Vanderbilt, the host, were u superb copy of the dress of the Duke of Guise, the trunk - hose, long silk tights, and puffed sleeves, being one of the most becoming dresses a gentleman over wore, and in this case espe- cially so. As the Lalla Rookhs, knights, riuccs, and courtiers, dukes, kings, queens, airics, peacocks, heusauts, and opera boufl‘o “Monsieur lc inble" and “ Madame lo Diable" came in in groups, the scene he- came enchanting. The next move was to the grand dining-room, with its wonderful stainod- lass window of the “Field of tho Clotho Gold," and other almost egpnlly beautiful windows, and its cxtrnor mnry height. It is a banqueting hull of the Middle Ages, and is unusually magnificent. Its rout extent, the wonderful carving, the me( iicvul fire place, the carved buffets, all made it a fitting spot fora fancy ball. Soon the groups began to wonder to the rand staircase to see the qundrilles come i own. First the Hobby-horse Quadrillc, wonderfully funny. The horses and artifi- cial outside legs of the riders, who were in the pink coats of the hunting field, the long ' skirts of the lady riders, and the energy and clan of this dance, in which V . ALL THE siovmins'rs of TI". «tigers wcro laughably attempted, gave the ball that spirit of fun which should over open an entertainment. After those cuérgctic riders had gallopcd off, the Mother Goose Quad- rille eutorcd. This was a very pretty sight, as all our old friends, Tom, Tom, the l‘ipcr‘s Son, with the pig under his arm which he foloniouslyhod captured, and the Grenadier, and the Old \V'omun in a shoe, followed each other throuin the mazes. Then came the Opera Beliro Quadrillo, too mixed in color to be quite as effective as that which follow- cd it, the Dresden China Quudrille. All in lurost white, in court dresses, with the little mark of the two crossed swords hang- ing on their breasts, thcso imitators of Drcs- den china made an effective sweep of white color in the midst of mcdlcy. They were all very handsome and effective people, the dresses of white satin and brocade very pure and elegant; the powdered wigâ€"like the one worn by Frederick the Greatâ€"was most becoming, and the dance was stately, clo- gant, and refined. This was the success of the evening. After it came the Star Quad- rille, a dance not so striking as the last, but very pretty: it was danced by young ladies, each adonicd with a diamond star on the forehead. and with wands tipped with stars. The electric light intended to lend its radi- ance to this quadrillc had to be abandoned as a too uncertain guest. The ball now began to present a saturnalia of color like a picture by Alvarez. There were Cardinals of the Holy Roman Empire. Eastern Fallirs, and officers of the Ccnt Usrde. nobleman of every age and country, and Commander (lorrin 'c as an Arab Sheik in his best clothes. T c womcn were re- splcudent in diamonds.

Snow is, of course, always niinulited by cider down and the frequent in erpolation of crystals or diamonds. Amongst these impersonal dresses one to re- semble Music was mostingeuious. A dress of white satin, trimmed with five rows of black velvet like the music staff, had here and there musical notation; the bodice, cut low and square, was trimmed with little brass musical iiis'ruments: a music scale was embroidered on the bodice; the cap of red satin was trimmed with triangles, bells, and balls. The Lady carried a Spanish mando- lin. Then came Autumn with her grapes-â€" a beautiful «frayâ€"Spring with her app'c blossoms, and a lovely dress called " Cherry {ipc," in which red cherries, white blossoms, and the “overhanging bongh” were all real- ized in flowers and embroidery. , Then came the religious orders. M r. 1 Hurlburt, of the World, had an especially" correct and beautiful costume as a. Spanish Knight of Calatrava, a sort of religious Knight Templar order, with long white cloak, with black satin hool, red cross on the arm, and a black velvet suit of the seven~ teenth century, with collars and cuffs of old point do Yuniw. This was one of the most striking of all the dresses. Capuchin Friars and splendid Cardinals clbowed each other at every turn. The stage, of course, afforded the ideas for the greatest number of fine dresses. Mr. Hewitt, our Wellâ€"l: nown Congressman, went as King Lear, with Iii-5 mind, and with his three daughters. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Tumurc were a lendid as Huguenots. Miss Townsend, as t 0 Fairy Queen in Iolanthe, wore a very handsome dress, white embroid- eged in gold. Madame Nilsson came as Marie Stuart. ‘ The opera. boufl'e, as we have said, sent many representatives. The Comte do Brio, Charles Surface in the School for Scandal, Romeo, the Ilugucnot Count dc Mole, Mar- guerite in I'illlllf, and Harlequin all had their copyists. Historical characters like Sir “Falter Raleigh, Don Carlos, Christopher Columbus, and Charleses I., II., and IX. all were in order. Henri Deux is the most pic- turcSque of kings to copy. There were no classical dresses, no Greek, Roman, or Neo- Greek white draperies; the absence was con- spicuaus. Thcrcwcrc some very fine knights in armor, especially one, Mr. ,lloyt, who married a daughter of Chief Justice Chase; his dress ofchziin-armor of the time of Ed- ward the Black Prince was very much ud- mircd. Mr. Butler Joliustonc, the owner of tho Raphael at the Museum, personated, in a beautiful dress of the age of Louis KIL, dead gold satin embroidered in gold. gray hat, and white plume, the Marshall Tri- bulzi of Milan. But ALL This (Hour was nor iiusmx, and needed supper. Ascending again the grand staircase to the third story, a ban- queting hall was discovered in a. large room called the Gymnasium. Here the walls were lined with roses, and thc most fabulous floral display made this room as redolent of nuuirc as the lower rooms had been of art. lIerc sat a lady in the dress of Madame Thermidor, of that eccentric dress of the French Revolution (not quite the Incroya- blcs, but as eccentric), looking delightfully pretty in an enormous but. talking to n Vcnc- tian of 1450 and to Don Carlos. Blue-Beard and the l’hmnix took a glass of champagne together, and two of the most extravagant Incroynblcs walked and talked with my Lady \Vushington; a. dignified Queen’s Coun- scl joked with Joan of Arc and with Mon- sieur lo Diablc, and so on ; the contrasts were endless. The supper was luxurious in the extreme, and it was long after daylight before the superb French chateau of Mr. \V. K. Van- derbilt had been cleared of its motley troop and late revellers. . It was the besbordercd, the most cool, dolicutcl lighted, and cnjoyablo‘ ball ever given in ew York; and for mugnificenco, quite unprecedented, and creditable to host and hostess. The Nowfoundlnnd Sen]. Fisheries. A letter from St. John’s, Newfoundland, says: Newfoundland is now preparing for her great undertakingâ€"tho seal fishery. About twenty steamers, with average crews of two hundred men, annually lcavc_ the principal ports of the island to engage in this industry, which thus gives employment to about six thousand men. In St. John‘s at this season, thousands of men from the outports throng the streets and collect in crowds around the office doors of tlic sever- al supplying merchants, some are waiting to bo “signer ,” others have been “signer ,” and others again are looking for “berths.” The captains of the vessels have the ex- clusive rights of giving the “berths.” The captain choscs his crew and brings them to theollico of the merchant, where each man “signs.” “'hen the men have “signed,” they receive notes for their “crop,” as their outfit is technically termed. This outfit. usually worth about $12 or $15, is to be paid out of the proceeds of the voyage, the risk being undertaken by the merchant. The men have each an individual interest in their success, as they are not engaged for the voyage with a fixed pay, but each iuun receives an equal share of the seal taken, the merchant buying the 8011 at current prices. ' The merchant receives two-thirds of the seal and pays the captain lOcuits per seal. The maximum catch of seal is about 40,000 fora steamer of 450 tons and 350 men. The fishery begins on the 10th of March, and is overâ€"till steamers making two trips, and some threeâ€"by the cud of April. _____‘>o<-.->oo'â€"-â€"â€" That Same Old Tragedy Again. A peculiarly sad and shocking domestic tragedy is reported from the town of Ilatyu, in Hungary. The keeper of a crossing on the East Hungarian Railway, near that town, happened to win a few days ago some hun- tll'ttt s of florins in a lottery. The poor fellow who had never seen such :1. large sum of money in his lifc, took the bank notes home forming plan upon plan for their disposal. Allut once a train was signalled, and lic' rushed to his post, leaving the precious roll behind him. As ill-luck would have it his little daughter was playing in the room at the time. Struck by the peculiar appear- ance of the notes, having rarely if ever seen ’ one before, and not knowing anythin what- ever of their value, she procecdci to use l them as u playthiog, and priseutly flung them into the fire, where they were burned to ashes. Just then the father returned, missed the notes and learned what lud be- come of them. In his fury he struck the child a violent blow, which stretched her lifeless on the floor. The mother, who was giving a bath in an adjoining mom to her second child, an infant, rushed in on hearing the disturbance, picked up the little girl and tried to restore her to consciousness. ' lfer efforts were vain ; the child was dead. She flew to the bath in which she had left the infant. Another shock awaited her; the lehild was drowned in its bath. The eliili~ ‘rate, rushed ‘ branch of a tree. The wretched father, overwhelmed with misfortuneâ€"his fortune gone, his wife and children goneâ€"seized a put an end to his existence.

MURDEREb iiiiim’iit'sflslié‘iil Pound Dying With Her Bands Trulâ€" Arrest of the Murderer. Mrs. Hannah B. Sonicilin, a widow, 60 years old. lived alone in a farm house a mile from the v illagc of Patterscn, in the northern part of Putnam county, on the line of the New York and Harlem Railway. She was supposed to be a rich woman. She lent money at interest to some of her neighbors, and was believed to keep considerable sums in the house. Her nearest neighbor was John P. Rogers, a farmer, who lived across the road, a few rods to the north, and with whose family she was on intimate terms. At sunset on Tuesday, Mrs. llogcrs from across the street saw Mrs. Sunderlin s and- iug at the door of her house. Shortly after noon the next day Mrs. Rogers went over to the house to see her neighbor. She found the curtains drawn and the front dear lockgd. A back door was unfastcned, and by this she entered the kitchen. riinun was .\'0 SIGN or urz. She Went into the large front room adjoin- ing. Mrs. Sunderlin’s two pet cats sprang from a door at her right, which opened into Mrs. Sunderlin‘s bedroom, and flew past her. Mrs. Rogers called to Mrs. Sunderlin, but no one answered, and she went home without entering the bedroom. An hour or two later Mrs. Rogers sent her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Heman Rogers, to her neighbor’s residence to see if she were p yet at home. On hearing the visitor‘s foot- steps tbe cats again ran from the bedroom. Young Mrs. Rogers entered it. Mrs. Sun- derlin was lying on the side of the bed, breathing heavily and bleeding. The young woman ran into the street, screaming, and the elder Rogers and his wife came over. They found Mr. Sunderlin undressed, and lying as if she had not moved since going to bed. \Vhen they put aside the bedclothing they found that rum HANDS WERE cnossiao AND Til-2D 1'0- ourmm, with stout twine. They cut the cords and lifted her into an easier position. She was unconscious. Dr. Wheeler, the. village physician, was called and found that Mrs. Sunderlin’s skull had been crushed in by a blow. He'said that she could live but a few hours. The blow had apparently been struck while the woman was asleep, with her head on her pillow, and her hands had been tied afterwards. . The news created great excitement in the village, and a meeting was held that night; to take steps for the detection of the inur- derer. Supervisor Henry Mnbio ' and Revenue Olhcer James E. Tower were up- pointcd a. committee to procure detectives. They came to New York and returned with a Pinkerton detective next morning. Mrs. Sundcrlin had died without regaining cou- sclousncss. Robert Pinkerton said to a re- porter: .' “ \Vhen I learned the manner in which Mrs. Sundcrlin‘ . wrists had bcun tied to- gether it reminded me of Chastine Cox’s work, and suggested that the murderer might have been a. negro. There were some things which indicated that he wasocquaint- ed with the premises. A man’s footprints led over the soft earth to a closet window. a. few feet to one side of the kitchen door. N0 footprints led away. This closet opens into the kitchen. A broken pane of glass in the window had recently been replaced by a pane fastened on from the outside with tucks. The man had evidently pulled the tack out to avoid making a noise, and, after removing the pane had pushed the screens open, un- fastened and lifted the window, and climbed in. An impression of the tracks were taken. On the table in tho ' dining- room was part of n mince pie, the greater part of which was missing. The neighbors said that Mrs. Siinderlin frequently made mince pics to give away, but never ate them herself. On the floor. under the table, was a. heavy hammer, which the neighbors had concluded was the instrument with which the woman was killed. Irma: HAMMER Bonn x0 MARKS. The day before the murder Peter Baldwin, a. nephew of the murdered woman, had sent his daughter to tho houso with $41 in bills, due to Mrs. Sunderlin for interest, and a present of ten pounds of beefstcnk. Afters long search we found the money and the steak in a kind of secret closet, almost cou- cenled‘by the stairs leading to the second floor. "The suspicion of the neighbors was fast- encd on two men, one a colored farm laborer living in the neighborhood, whom Mrs. Suaderlin had occasionally employed, and the other a. simple-minded Irishman who lived a. half a mile away and worked on the railroad. We found that n roughly-clad negro, with an axe, had been found by John \V. Utter asleep in Augustus Birch’s barn at Patterson at 4 o’clock on the afternoon be- fore the murder. Subsequently we learned that a negro of the some description, with an axe in his hand, had been seen by Mrs. Helen Holmes to pass the house on the morning of the some day. A farmer in the neighborhood said he thought from the de- scription this man might be James H. Riley, who formerly lived in the cottn. 0 near Mrs. Suudcrliii's house. On Thurs ay last we found that Riley had removed to Danbury, Conn., where he was employed in Sam . lundlc’s stables. Supervisor Mabio and Mr. Tcwcrwcnt to Danbury to watch Riley while our men followed with Utter and Mrs. Holmes, who were certain they would iccognizo the negro whom they saw with the axe. “It was arranged that Bundle should send Riley with a note to the house at which Mrs. Holmes and Utter were stop ing. If she recognized Riley it was ngrcc she should lay the note, after reading it, on the mantel. Utter and the detective were in the next room, and the door was ajur. Mrs. Ilolmcs opened the door for Riley. If}: srxnruv nscx AT sszrso mm, and was turning away after delivering the note- when she insisted that he should wait for an answer. Mrs. Holmes opened the note and laid it upon the mantel, saying, ' There is no answer.’ The negro turned again to leave, but the detective arrested “lfc said at Sheriff Crofut's oflicc that be had not been in Patterson on Tuesday, and had had no are. On Tuesday and Tuesday night, and for two or three days before, he said he had been in the house of his hrother-indaw. Frank Bowman, in North Salem. He had been living at GreenHavon. N. Y., but left there on Monday, and went to North Salem, where he remained until Saturday, when he went to Danbury. The only time he had been away from Frank Bowman's house was on the do of the murder, when he visited Charles Ilowman, abrothcr of Frank, who lived midway be- tween North Salem and Brewster's. He passed through West Patterson, but did not stop there. tle said he knew Mrs. Sunder- lin very well, and had called at her house on Saturday afternoon of the previons week, at lo'clock, when she gave him somebread and pie most.

A Lady \Vnnts To Know meningitis was due to thc absorption of ll!e hits: l‘ariSian style 07 ureBSI-md bonnet; prurient matter from this wound. Dr. Chalmers averred that vaccination was a delicate operation, and that hesbould not on his own responsibility have felt it ri 1ht to vaccinate so young 3. child. Mr. Bes ey, on the it of Dr. Dunlop, contended that the cliil weighed seven pounds, and Wes healthy at the time of vaccination : and the Magis. trate dismissed the case on the ground that the evidence had failed to substantiate so serious 3 charge as manslaughter, observin that no doubt any medical man would be re- sponsible if he had reason to believe that the child was unhealthy at the time he vac- cinated it ; but this allegation was not roved in this case. No evidence was ad- dnced to show that death was caused by anything other than the vaccination, though Dr. Pepper admitted that the meningitis might have been caused by exposure when the-child was taken to the doctor, as "after vaccination the child suffers trom an acute specific disease.” It was perfatly clear, however, that the mischief had been done before the doctor's services were required. According to this decision medical him, while responsible for injury done by vaccin- ation to unhealthy children, may with im- punity vaccinate healthy children six days old into their graves. The Vaccination Acts, therefore, not only compel the offence, but protect the offender. 1n the interests of the suffering poor I venture to hope that through yourimpartinl columns you will 111le me to protest against the continuance of such cruel legislation. I am, Sir, Yours faithfully, Wii.Li.ui Trim. Devonshiro Club, St. Jumcs', London, March 24th, 1383. oâ€"dwo a. Ghost story from Cheyenne. A curious case of what might be termed a mere optical illusion, being the result, perhaps, of a. diseased condition of the eyes, happened in Cheyenne during the past; week. In one of the great battles fought during the rebellion a. certain person. now a. resident of Cheyenne â€" then a Union scldier-could have shot and killed the rebel General, Robert E. Lee, Lee having dismounted and with a. single orderly for a. companion waded through the grass almost; up to the Union‘skirmish line, where he stood for a moment with his but in his left hand, taking a survey of the .' Union butter- ies, which he'd not yet opened fire. The soldier alluded to pointed his gun at him, but did not fire. Leo turned and went back. One night last week, at about 8 o’clock, this former Union soldier; desiring to take a quiet smoke, went to the oflice, and, after smoking for a time, fell asleep in his chair. Before this, however, he had been thinking over some of the scenes and incidents of the war. After sleeping some time he was awakened by some one who shook him by the arm and said, “\Vnke up.” This, however, might be pure imagination, but What followod‘wns not, though, of course, a. mere optical illusion. . Thinking that it; was the gentleman who has his oflice in the some room, the ex-soldier back- cd u to the stove for a. moment without looking u at all. When he did so, close to his si 0 stood the figure of a. large, powerful man, with gray hair and board, holding his hat in his hand. Somewhat us- tonished, the ex-soldier said: “Hello! how do you do ?” There was no response. The snlutatiou was repeated with the some re- sult. Not feeling particularly pleased over the situation, he went' to the door, which was still looked as be left it, and passed down and out. Bob Ingnlls, the policeman was sent at once to the room. but returned, reporting that no one could be found. The next night the cit-soldier repaired to the room, liopingto see again that which he by this time,qu convinced was nothing more nor less than an optical illusion, as he is not a believer in ghosts and hobgoblins. He was not disappointed, for he saw the same sight and immediately recognized it as the icturo of Gen. Lee as he appeared that loody day down on the Rippuhannock. To be satisfied, the ex-soldier undertook to take hold of the figure, but there was nothing to take hold of. In about a minute it dis- appeared entirely. This may sccm incredi- ble to some, but there are hun lrcds of cases on record somewhat similar to the one above related, which is strictly true in every par- ticular. Too Much Honesty. A gentleman stopped his horse at. a toll gate, and, not seeing the gatekeeper, went into the house. Finding no one, he began ugenerul search, and finally discovered the gatekeeper out in the field at work. Al- though the old men was quite a distance away, the gentleman went into the field to the old man, and said: “ You arcfhc toll gate keeper, I believe?" “ch air," the old man replied, turning and lcanin on his hoe handle. " Well, wanth go through the gate." “ Ain't the gate open 3 " “ Y es." “ Well, why don’t you go through? my business to be there." “Because I wanted to pay you. “ And you came all the way out here to pay iue five cools?" “ Yes, sir," said the gentleman, proudly looking the old man in the eye. - “ Couldn't you have left the money on the table?" “Yes, sir, but I wanted you to know that I paid you." " You are an honest man." "Yes, sir," replied the enticinan, while is pleased expression spr over his face.
