New York, May 25.—Our fashionables have not yct fully recovered from thie high-toned wedding which came off at Grace Churchon Monday with Brown, and lots of flowers, and all the npbby aceessories. Already the quidnuncs are wondering how much Brown received for his jart of the affair, and, confidentially, of course, I mnay {nform you, it was just one-quarter o‘f a theusand, payablein gold coin of the United States. The particulars of the marriage of young T.ord Mandeville and Miss Consuelo Yznaga de Valle (pronounced Isnaga) have been telegraph- ed doubtless and need no repetition here. It was the-swell wedding of the season, and not Joes than 2,000 persons, mostly females, tried tobe prescat, bat were unsole on acconnt of the crowd. The ladics are complimenting the bride for one thing, and that is, her preference for an American dresmakerinstead of sending to Paris as some of the foolish sex have donc on ‘simflar occasio Yard Manderiile is the voung English Lord who has taken a prominent part _in many of young Jim Bennett's amusements, including volo. He isan « poloist, and has patronized Delancy Kane's hom cogeh gquite frequently. He has been the r of z select circle, and last’ fall was considered oud catch by a score of voung ladies who were fond of his society.

Onc of Wallack’s favorite actresses hoards near Grammerey Park, and is fond of »fternoon . promenades. Recently she has puzzled some of lier most intimate friends by some remarkaple disgnices, arising mainly from changes in her hair from blonde to black and vice versa; and the men- ner of dressing it. Only & few days ago she met some female company in ber own apartments and appeared in light hair. She vivacions and nurecable asusual. The second evening a wine supper was g by one of her friends to a small party at Delmonico's, at which she was present. Hlere ene was introanced by herstagename tosome of the identical people whom ehc-liad seen two nichts before, but had then been known 1o thera only by her resl mame. To her astonishment and possibly to her delight they did not recogmize her, but the fanny part of the afairwas that one of the strangers began to tell her about the previous visit. when she bad met Miss — at her boarding- honse near Grammercy Park. Itreqaired all the firmness of the actress 1o conceal her amasement, but it was successfnl. After she had heard some * very doubtful compliments concerning her other elf, she confessed her identity and gave the com- pany a hearty laugh all sroznd. The explanation relutive to the change in the hair was accepted. but that was not the end of the joke. The nextday a peutieman remarked to-the surprised lady of the previous occasion that the neighbors had remarked thata certain young lady was 2 suspicions charac- ter, s the policeman on the block had observed that she appearcd on the promenade with different- tolored halr on different duye, and he thouzht it was for no good purpose. 1f he should ece one of her performances at Wallack's, the mystery would be solved. BROOELYX'S GREAT GALL DAY. Yesterday I went to Brooklyn to see the great parade of the children of the Brooklyn Sunday- chools. After hearing & great deal in praise of this affair as managed in that city, I have con- claded that the trath excceds the deecription as much as the roar of the sca exceeds the poet’s ac- conntof it. Ontsiders can earcely imagine how a preat city can be so wholly stirred to its depths by sucha turn-out-of 50,000 children, as was the case yesterday. It was aptly described by oneé of the popular divines as four or five Fourths of July rolled into one. The city was wholly given up to it: the public buildings were more highly decorated with fiags and baoting than they wonld be upon sny ordinary national holiday; fiags were every- where. The achools were unopened, half the stores were closed after noon, the police were all o duty asisting the parade, bands of music were 1] en;e: and, inthort, it was the children’sday. The Sunday-echool children wercin gay attire, and on this occasion the difplay of Centennial colors ‘was unuenally fine. Every echool bore at least one larze banner, and fiag and streaniers without nam- ber. The appesrance of the largest churchee dur- iny the preliminary excrciscs was a sizht to be re- membered for years. One of the divisions (there were nine in ail), numbering nearly 10,000 chil~ dren. ‘caraped at Prospect Park and made a grand 1i=play there in the presence of 50,000 epcctators. ‘I'here were, in many instancee, juvenile represent- atives of the Goddess of Liberiy,’ General and Martha Washington, and Revolutionary costumes, whick lent a picturesque appearance to the groop: This {s & wide departure from the blue Presbyteri- an-Paritanical idea of 3 Sabbath-school festival. Dt the sights of yesterday were worth zoing 100 miles 1o witness, DISASTROUS FAILURE OF WATERING-PLACE HOTELS. - The summer hotels are getting ready for vis- itors, and their advertisements ande cards sture one out of countenance everswhere. Did you ever notice bow mauny changes of landlords there arein the summer hotel business? The reason is very simple. For several years past very few of these resorts have made any money, oud it is almost imposxible to rent thera to respon rible and competent Jandlords at a price whickwill pay even the taxes and ineurance. There is one nrominent watering-place hotel within 20 miles of ihe city, belonging to a millionaire (who, for- tanately, is not troubled by the loss), which cost over §250,000. The owner has been fiecced by sverybody who ever had anything to do with the building orfte- farnishing. e was an‘invalid a zx:ut portion of the time, and unable, therefore, to Zive his pervons] Mtention to_the enterprise. S0, ‘n<tead of spending about 150,000, 25 intended. be expended £250.000. To-day-the rent of the premices, thongh admirably located and mmw- Jidcently furnished, will not pay taxcs and-nsur- snce. There ir a well-known North River hotel, :he resort af faskionavle people for several som- ers, which is rented at ju-t 11 per cent upon the sctual_cash outlay for buildings, aside from the fround. There isno money in these enterprives, Lxcepting in Tare cares. The country boardi Logsekecper. who give you noor fare and poor sccommodations at 310 per week, are usingap the botels, whose average charges arc at least 15 per week, -In the present it of economy, euperin- duced by hard times, the hotels are suffering for want of patronoge. COMMODORE VANDERBILT'S ILLNESS. The duily bulletins of Commodore Vander- bilt's condition are of great interest to many thousands, and the cagerness of the stock- brokers to ascertain the latest Information is evidenced by the arrangements of the Stock- Exchange telegraph to notify all its subseribers: of any change in his condition, The venerable Co=modore will be 82 years old on the 20th, if he lives solong, and, notwithstanding he bas beca confined to his room nearly three weeks with fre- quent relapses, he steadily refuses 1o believe beis sty worse than he has beén a hondred times be- fre, vered.

FRANE MOULTON'S AFFLICTIONS. ‘There is & gread deal of sympathy expressed 1n Brookiyn for Frantis D. Moulton, the mutual friend, on account of the peculiar afflictions which have visited him since hie became so cou- spicoons In connection with the T'ilwu-Bccdmr troubles.

Notwithstanding the apporent bitterness creaied by the Beecher scandalin Brooklyn, the most fricndly personal relations till subsiet between Mr. Moulton's fam- ily and many of the active adherents of Beecher. AN BXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MALE DEPRAVITY. The 2mours extraordinary of a dentist named George F. Recse, in Brooklyn, have excited un- usual interest in that city, as illustrating for the nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth time the total depravity of a man and the loving kindness of 2 woman. This fellow is & German. ILecame to {his country at the expense of a woman whom ke wedded, and by whom he was raised from ‘his low estate intoan honorable position and competence. This kindness he repaid by bringing into his fam- ily a nfece, whom he had seduced and by whom he had aculld. Strange to eay, his Wife pardoned this crime, and helped to take care of the illegit- imate offspring. Matters thus stooi for two years, \when the. ir] bore another child of whom Kecse the father, and again the poor heart-broken = fgrzave the offeiee end adopted the second (hild 35 one of her own family, The worst is yet 10 come.. e bepan to visita third lady, rep- Tesetting himeelf~to he a widower, aad made an epgazement to be married to her.—Hius proposing 10 2id bizamy o his other crimes.

The discovery of these” facts was accicental. The mother of the third wonin to om Recee was devoted had & petty quarrel witiy Mrs. Reese, and the pair were arrested by the police. When arraigned before a megiatrate the Story came out, and the reporters have been flling columns of the Brooklyn papers with the tilthy de- tails. A SUBURBAN TOWN DEMORALIRED- One of the effects of the Bergen Iill ex- plosion ten days ago is the demoralization which has followed in neighborheods where quantities of giant powder arc known to be stored. The bill introddced into Congress by the Jersey City Representative, requesting the Gov- ernment anthotitica to romove the powder maga- zine from Ellis Iskind in this barbor, is anout growth of this fear, With the care nsed in hand- Tinz large quantities of powder by arny officers and soldiers, the danger is very slight. The mest marked effect of ‘this demorlization, however, is observable in the pretty suburban village of As- toria, opposite the entrance to Hell Gate. There the people have zotten the jdea into their craniums that when the blasts are fired which are forever to remove lcll-Gate obstructions—an _operation which has cost'the Government in its preparation a half million dollars, and will require many tons of nt powder to finally cxplode—that thix bit of Submarine freworks will destroy Agtoria as well. Many people have removed to distant parts, and ients have fallen in consequence of these fears to an absurdly low point. Handsome cottages which Were in demand two years agoat $800 per vear, $240. A delegation of cltizens hss cailed upon Gen. Newton, the engincer in charze of the work. to cxplain his precantions arainst the effects of the explosion injuring the ‘Astorians’ property, and they are not at all satisfled that he aseures them that there is no real danger. It is expected that when the blast is fired Astoria il be comparatively deserted. i NITEO-GLYCERINE IN TOTS, Promenaders of Breadway remember with keen zest, the explosion of the parlor artillery eartridges which took place corner of Twen- tieth street a few years ago and blew out the front of a house, and even destroyed a.plate- glass window in Lord & Taylor’s store opposite. ‘The parlor artillery business subsided with that catastzophe, and nitro-glycerine, which formed the base of the cartridges, was not heard of dn toys for rame time. This year itturns up again n 8 so-called Centennial torpedo” This juvenile toy consists of aleaden ball of the size of an English walnat, with a nipple onits surface, on which a percussion cap (nitro-glycerine) may be placed. Thisballisheld by a rubber string o arranged that the ball mn‘yhe dropped upon the pavement and the cap explodes. Itis fitly described as an admirdble contrivance for frightening women, children, and horses. The real danzer i8 mot in the nse of the cap, but in the posseasion of a suffi- cient guantity to make an explosion a serious af- fair. The store-keepers show their own senee of fear by keeping only o few on hand at any one {ime, and verynear the door at that. With mu- nicipal reznlations prohibiting the storage of -gan- powder, it is strange that thie moredangerons com- ponnd is placed in cluldren’s bunds so -frecly and wnobstractedly. NEW PHASE IN THE CHISESE QUESTION. There arc several hundred Chinamen in this city, and it is asserted by those familiar with their habits and associations that twenty-five of them are marricd to Irish women. The Chi- nese-Trieh clifldren, theoffspring of a Celestial and Hibernian woman who used to attract attention at an apple-stand corner of Broadway and Canal streets, are not the only specimens to be found in New York. Recently there wasa cascof 2 China- man married to an Irish wife before the Police Court, charged with beating hisspouse. Iis name is John Chi MunZ, and her name was Jane Flaher- ty: now it Is Jane Mung,—at least she signed an afidavit with that name. John' is evidently get- ting civilized very rapidly. They quarreled, she ‘it him with a-broom, and he knocked her down. 1f the hueband had been Irish lie woald have been fined S1 and allowed to go, but being a cheap-labor Chinee he was sent _to jail for thirty days. The next thing we shall have a Chinese divorce suit or acase of scan. -mag. in our conrts, and if the treaty with China must be revised Jet us prevent such tcandal by all meane. RARE CHANCE FOR BACHELORS. The Herald's advertising columns are a study. On Monday a boarding-house advertisement in- formed the readers that there were two mar- riageable ladics under 30 yearsof agein the .house who were excellent pianists, and that social enjoyments werea part of the regalar system of the honse. Probably titis was a trap for the un- wary yonths who in this great city are constantly longing for society without the means of enjoying it. Tlowever, it is fimpletrnth to say that bachelor boarders are’ in demand in_up-town boarding- houses of undonbted respectability, and the vrices charged now, in comparison with former days, are fabulonsly low. Bachelors cam get a zood room and full board now for €10 per week which a few years ago wonld have cost $25, and 21l the social Drivileges thrownin. BEACTT. NEWSPAPER NOTES. Bpecial Corvespondence of The Trivune. NEW YorE, May 25.—The change in the man- agement of the Torld bas at last been made public. 1t is about a month since it took place, and the secret was very carcfully kept in the office—or respected out of it—till last Sunday, the first understanding being.that Mr. Marble was about to devote himself to a personal con-" duct of the Tilden campaign, and that Mr. Hurl- bert would take the helm certainly till after the June conventions,and probably till after the No- yember elections. It subsequently proved that the property had been sold ont-and-out to Mr. Hurlbert, and it anquestionably ix held in his own name 2nd nsed at his owa will, nor has any correct surmise yet been made concerning the origin and nature of his backing. which doesn't make any ma- terial difference. Under the mew regime—the present proprietor, by the way, is a brother of the Congreseman fram your Fourth District, Stephen A. Murlbet, though he spells hie name differectly —there isno change in the staff of the iorld. Concerning its policy there has been a good deal raid, and probably some of the acute correspond- ents kave }mblxshcd theories_more claborate and sensational than accarate. The World, under Mr. Marble. was for Tilden and Free Trade, witha de- votion that can only be called passionate: indeed, the “warm persons! friendships and pronounced convictions of its proprictor <were most- apt t0 impair hirusefulness as an editor and make his paper unreadable.

THE EXIGHTS TEMPLAR AT PHILADELPEIA New York Tritune. PHILADELPHIA, May 18.—The next great cele- Vration here will be the parade of the Knights Templars at the meeting of the Grand Commin- dery of the State of Pennsylvania, at Philadel- phis, May 30. The gathering of the Knights {rom all parts of the United States and the Do- minion of Canada will be very large, while rep- rescutatives will be: present from Europe and Australia. The route of the parade will befrom Broad and Chestnut streets, where the line will Dbe formed, along Chestnut to Fifth, up Fifth to Market, along Market to Thirteenth, up Thir- teenth to _and along Arch to - Broad, thence up on the east side of Broad street to Columbia avenue, whence the column will countermarch down on the west side of Broad strect, to the Temple at Broadand Filbert strects, where the line will be dismissed. Thus the greatest display will be on Broad stre The procession, which will be several miles in length, will doubtless be very impos- ing, what with swords, waving plumes, bright uniforms, martial music, and richly-mounted standards of the different States and Command- eries represented in the line. The Templars’ proceedings will begin with the formal opening of the Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania and the delivery of the annual address by R. E. Sir Charles H.” Kingston, Grand Commander; and on the following day, May 31, the annual .election of the grand oflicers for 1876-'7 takes place. _On Thursday morning. June 1, the great parade will take place along the above described route, after which during” the after- noon the installation of the grand officers will be publicly held at the Academy of Musie. These cerémonies will be carried out with an extensive musical programme. There will be resent the Fundel and Maydn Society of Phila- gclpllin, comprising 200 voices and 2 grand or- chestrn. Among the pieces to be Parformed will be Mozart’s #Gloria in Excelsis,” Darley’s “Thanks be to God,” Gounod’s *Te Deum,” and other picces: During Thursday evening a reception and promenade concert will be at the Academy of Music and Horticul Hall, the. two buildings being connected by covered bridge.

CHicaGo, May 27.—Until recently there has existed in Chicago what has been termed a Gen- eral Relief Committee, whose duty it was tore- lieve distressed stranger brothers. This Com- mittee existed by general consent of such *Lodges as chose to unite in it, and contribute toits funds. Through the efforts of this Com- mittee a great amount of suffering bas from time to time been allayed, and at slight ex- pense to the Lodges contributing, Teretofore these Committecs have been vol- untary, but at the scssion of the Grand Lodgo Leld in 1875, a general enabling act was passed, Ferwrieh fneh assacintions gl be erested, It provided that “in any city or_town having three or more working Lodacs, a Board of Gen- cral Relief muy be organized,” provided a - jority of all the lodgesso desire. In conformity 10 instruction of the Grand Lodge, the Graud Secrctary recently notified all the Lodges in Chicagro'of _the action of the Grand Lodgze, and requested them to vote upon thé question, and herewith appears the report of that officer: Broraers: Inow have returns from all Lodges in your city except Goethe, No. 329, of the vote upon the question **Is it desirable fo form a Board of General Ielicf In the City of Chicago?"

Nasox, “Grand Secretar) Conscquently the Order of 0ddFellows, with its thirty-seven Lodges(one having been re- cently organized) in the city of Chicago, is, to its great shame, without a general relief com- mitiee, and the stranger in distress is often permitted to suffer beciuse no one is_especially authorized to administer relief. The writér would suggest that, the sixteen noble Lodges voting in the affirmative should immediately organize a_committee, and announce to the Brotherhood at large that the Good Samaritan spirit is not entirely extinct in our midst. While we do_not beljeve that any one of the Lodges voting in the negative, would permit a stranye brothierito suffer, did they but know of his distress, stil we know they do not fully ap- te the great necessity ol an organizition, a central office, at all times accessible to the unfortunate.

ENIGNTS OF PYTHIAS. Tuesday evening last the Grand Lodge Hall was visited by more members than probably ever tbefore gathered together in the hall as a subor- dinate Lodge, the cause being theconferring of the Amplitied Third Rank by Gauntlet Lodge, No. 4,and an inspection of the sameby. the Grand Vice-Chancellor, together with a delega- tion from Excelsior Lodge, No. 3, who (as au- vonnced last Sunday) were on a visitation. The Grand Vice-Chancellor and delegation arrived at the hall at about 8:45 p. 1., imme- diately after which the conferring of the Knight rank upon two candidates was commenced, and, by eutting some lectures somewhat short, the Rank was cum&)lc d by about 11 p. m., after which the Grand Vice-Chancellor addressed the Jodge briefly, and complimented Gauntlet Lodge upon the excellency of its work, which, he said, was “superior to any it had ever been his pleasure to witness.” His opinion was that the Order was destined to occupy a prominent lace in secret and beneficial societies at no very distant day. His remarks were followed by Chancellor Commander Cudabeck, of Gauntlet, thanking the distingulshedoflicer on behalfof the lodge for the visit; and juforming him that the conferring of the Knight rank in amplified form was only a_late addition by the lodge, and also thanking him for overlooking any errors that might have presented themselves.” e was fol- lowed by Chancellor Commander Phillips, of Excelsior Lodge, Grand Trustec Race, of Gauut- let, and others. The ofticers of the lodge have been request- ed to confer this rauk in the_saine manner that it was conferred Tuesday night, egain during this term, and to invite one or two other lodges to witness the workings, as but one other lodge in the ity confers the Amplified rank, consequently very muny have never wit- nessed it The grand reunjon of all the city lodges will take place at Sherpshooters’ Park June18.

X.: DeAr Sik: Your medicines, Golden Medieal Discovery, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, have proved of the greatest service to wme. Six months ago no one thought that I could possi- bly live long. I had a complication of dis- cases,—serofula, manifesting itsclf in eruptions and great blotches on my head that made such sores that I could not have my hair combed without causing me much. suffering; also caus- ing swollen glands, tonsils enlarged, enlarged or “thick neck," aud large and numerous boils. 1 also suffered from a terrible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact I was so diseased that life was a bur- den tome. Ihad tried many doctors with no benefit. I finally procured one-half dozen bot- tles of your Golden Medical Discovery and one dozen Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and commenced their use. At first I was badly discouraged, but after taking four bottles of the Discovery 1 began to fmprove, and when Thad taken the remaining I was well. In addition to the use of Discovery I applied a solution of Todine, to sthe goitre or thick neck, 2s you advise in pam- plilet wrapping, and it entirely disappeared, Your Discovery is certainly the most wonderful blood medicine ever invented. I thaok God and you, “from the depths of my heart, for the great good .it has done me. Very gratefully, Mgs. L. CRAFFEE. Most medicines which are advertised as blood purifiers and liver medicines contain either mer- cury, in some form, or potassium and jodine va- riously combined. All of these agents have strong tendency to break down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate and otherwise perma- nently injure the human. system, and should therefore be discarded. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovéry, on the other hand, being composed of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks, and toots, will in no case produce n- jury, its effects belng strengthening and cura- tive only. Sarsaparills, which used to enjoy quite a reputation asa blood-purifier, is a rem- edy of thirty years ago, and may.well give place a5 it is doing, to the more positive and valuable vegetable alteratives which later medical inves- tigation and discovery has brought to light.

The clearings of the week, like the clearings of preceding weeks for many months back, exhibit a shrinkage when com- pared with the corresponding figures of last year. This is the result of the decline of prices and the augmenting dullness of business. It is useless to attempt to conceal the fact that trade is depressed andalmost stagnant, exeept where it deals in the very necessarics of Jife. The loan market displayed its nnvarying featnres of an accumulating surplus of loanable funds. Not enongl new paper is made to replace that falling due and paid.

The San Francisco Bulletin, answering an in- quiry as to the prospects of o dividend from the Ophir Mine, sass that mining dividends are very uncertain, and this is particularly trne of the Ophir Mine. This stock long sincelost its prestize in the market, and is no longer the key-note to the list. We are not aware that any bonanza has been uncovered during the past year in the lower levels, and yet quite respectable amounts of bullion are sent down month after month.

The Field, an English paper, of the 13th inst., hasen article on the wheat .prospects, whicl, it. concludes, are ‘‘mot cheering to the British farmer, as his ueual breadth of land is not sown with wheat, while that which is eown is not atall promising. Unless there is still much wheat to come from abroad, this staple must yet rite co siderably between the present time and harvest.” The leading produce markets were active on Saturday, and most of them were weak, the chicf exception being in wheat. Outside of that im- portant cereal, the day was one of heaviness in prices; but the volume of business transacted was unusually large for Suturday. The foreign mar- kels were generally firm, with a good demand, and it was reported that o further depression in the price of British consols accompanicd a further decline in the quotation for United States currency, which indicated uneasiness in financial circles in reference to the prospects of settling the Turkish dificulty. But fine weather here, and the indications of larger receipts, made holders nervous, and the bears rampant; the calling of marging on'the longs being a prominent featare of the day's work. The crop prospects in the West were considered good, and the outward movement of produce was fair for the season. None of the features of the dry goods market were noticcably different from those prevaleat in the earlier days of the week. In all departments there was an afr of quiet, while aside from notlons, and lght fabrics adapted to summer wear, the quietude almost amounted to positive dallnes Asto valnes, the market was steady. Groceries met with a fair share of attention. There was not a numerous attendance of buyers, but the mails broughta gencrous number of onders and a very respectable nggregate of goods was distributed. Pric es ruled steady both for stapleand side articles. Butter wasactive atabout previous rates, eelling at 12@26c for poor to fancy grades. Cheese was ordered very sparingly, and the market had an nn- dercone of weakness. Inthe fish, canned goods, and dried fruit mackets there was little that was mew. Leather remains dull, with valucs unsettied. Cosl and wood are unchanged. Grainbags are quiet and easy. Lumber afloat was steady under a fair inguiry and moderate offerings. During the week just past comumon lumber has sold readily at the docks, and prices have been maintained in the faceof the Targest receipts of any one week since the season opened. Country and city dealers have bought free- Iy, inanticipation of a better demand for inmber, now that the farmers have time to attend to the marketing of their produce. The iron merchants report a fair trade ot the recent rates. Seeds were very quict except the late kinds, which are selling in small Tots from etore, Timothy was ecarce and firmly held, and clover was scarcely quotable, as the scason is over. [ay was quict, and prairic was weak, in consequence of the free arrivuls of loose hay, but the offerings of pressed were very light, hence recent prices were sustained. Wool continues dnll ond easy. Hides, broom-corn, and hops were unchanged. Strawberries, lemons, and oranges were in fair request, while other areen fruits were rather quiet. Ponltry and eggs were slow and steady. Lake freights were fairly active and a shade Sirmer, on the basis of 2% for wheat and 2%c Lor corn, by sail to Buffalo. Rail freights were dull at nominally unchanged rates, and cars were freely offercd at 20¢ to New York, 18¢ to Philadelphia, 1734¢ to Baltimore, and 23¢ to Boston, per 100 Ibs. Through rates by lake and rail were quoted at 10c for corn and 11c for wheat to New York, and 13c on corn to Boston.
