NEw YORk, Sept- 29.—One of the most amusing contretemps on record happened in & fashionable up-town boarding-house in this city about a fortnight 250, It was the result of a wild freak, but the consequences are . not particularly unpleasant to the partles im- mediately concerned, though to their friends it is 2 source of wonder as well as amusement. The heroine is a young lady just emerging from her teens; the gentlemsn a salesman In s popular wholesale mercantile house on Broadway. They had been acquainted for many months, and had been carrying on what is known as a genteel flirtation. The girl was one of those butterflics who loved dress and dieplar, which her parents were unwilling as well as unable always to gratify. A fortnight ago she wasinvited toa private musical entertainment, and concerved the ides of appear- ing in borrowed plumes, incloding diamonds. The young man was acquainted withher design, and laughingly sssisted in the plan. All the parties boarded in the samo house, and to get on the borrowed dress and jewelry without her mother discovering it was the probiem of life which the girl contended with. Asa dernier-resort, the young man vacated his room, and the zirl foalishly uecd it s a dress- ing-room, leaving her own proper apparel thercin until her return at midnight. She proceeded ac- cording o programme, attended the musicale, and returned to the house. The young men wuited in the parlor until ehe went to his room to change ber clothing again. While thue enzaged, her fath- er (who had somehow formed a euspicion that all 'Wwas not right) boldly entered the room, and caught ber en dishahille. The appearances were agninet the girl, and a row cnsued between herseif and father. The latter would not listen to reason, and ed upon the young man marrying the girl at nee 10 save her honor. The marriage took place privately the mext day. and the end of young '—'e tlirtation is commented upon asan excel- lent jok TNHAPPY RESULT OF A DOG’S HUNGER. A young German pamed Joseph Hammer- gcmidt, of 96 Montrose avenue, Brooklyn, re- cently enjoyed an experience that, in the old country,would have made him a popularhero,— probably the subject of a national poem. - He is engaged in bottling liquor for his brother's Etore, and it hos been his custom, when a eask of wine arrives in the cellar, to shut himeelf in the apartment and finish Lis work without interrup- tion, with only his dog fora compaamion.

Tae story liag a prover ending. On the 26th the widow 2nd the German were married. and that’s the way the experience came to be made public. ALMOST A BREAB-RIOT. A very einrular experience happened to a well-known Brooklyn baker, on Columbia street, 2 few cvenings since, which came within an ace of resuitingin a serious riot. His name is Will- n Ferguxon, and he has enjoyed more than his ghare of custom on account of his excellent vresd.

This explanation re- red confidence and eatigfied his customers. and now the police are bunting for the malicions jour- neyman who wag the canse of the trouble. SCANDAL IN A DEACON’S FAMILY. Another city-family is in sorrow and tribula- tion from the usual cause,—woman! The head of the family iz a Deacon in one of ‘the leading Preshyterian churehs, and Jast May was intro- duced, in tie church-vestibule,to a handsomely- dressed and utiractive-looking woman, who re- quested a seat. He gave her one, and immediate- 1y after gervice, she songht an acquaintance with thie clerzyman, and began a confidence game which led 2o the present scandal. She represented her- telf as o Southern woman, who had remained trae 10 the Union through the War. and was now ea- g£aged in vutting shrough the press a work descrip- tive of her own expericuce and sufferings. To mect the expense she solicited help, and so win- were her waye that she seccred several sub- jtions then and there. The Deacon was 80 «d 1hat Le introduced her to his family, and she accompanicd them bome to dinner. From this time forth sie was intimate. with < the family, and _mavy times made ber b tkere. Her ‘stay was always ! inzde picasant, und tho Deacon's eldest son paid her unusual attention. This was noticed, but * zot_cnceurazed by the parents, and was only a . prelude to a furtber development of her little fame. A short time ago ehe informed the Dea- con's wife that her son Georza had proposed mar- and been accepted. The mother was indig- nant, =ud remon-trated. George was sent for, . ani warnly denied the widow's etory; bntthe tter reiterated it, and went so far as to charge he day had bren fixed, and, with this andcr- the voung msn had persuaded her to 1 2 hurband’s privileges. _The eon left the . ‘and has not since returned. The widow has ~ued him for breach-of-promise and seduction, and the family are in despair, trying 1o bush up the ~ widow is being inquired into, and it is doubtful if her story receives credence. ANOTHER FIFTH-AVENUE SCANDAL. The papers in a new divoree-suit were served day before yesterday, which reveals a phase fn fashionable life destined to create a sensation. The partics are Mr. and Mrs. L. B. M——, and the wifeis the suing party. She charges adul- + tery upon her husbaad with his housekeeper, a8 " prepostcssing woman about 30 years of age; and the testimony cited in support of the charge is, to £ay the Jeast, rather etraightforward. The laun- “dress of the hotscis a colored woman, and her hu-band is the defendant's conchman. They swear that. one_Sunday night in August, they had been ‘out to a Methodist meeting quite late, and in re- turning to the house by the basement, took .off their shoes, 6o a3 to a&void ‘mskinz 8 noise | ascending ~ the . stairs. they passed thelr master's room, they Were eurprised to hear voices, and (supposing that e w I':-xm\ they Jooked into the room, and eaw ‘thieir master and the housekecper lightly clad and fmproperiy couched. “A dim light was barning %n the rooin, and they were confident they recog- he right persons.

The young lady Is now grepnrlng to follow up the case by proceedings for breach-of-promise. A BERGEN-HEIGHTS ELOPEMENT. The Jersey-City aristocratic quarter is located upon the high grouad iz the rearof the city, known as Bergen Heights. The common peo- ple who live upon the low sround are called ‘ the Flats,” and their ambition s to live on the Heights. Recently therc bas been a sensa- tion in the aristocratic locality, occasion- ed by the velopement of Miss Lulu ‘Warner, daoghter of Mr. John Warner, one of the most wealthy citizens of the Heights. On Monday evening last, she quietly removed nearly all her clothing to the housé of & friend, Miss Carroll, and then returned home 88 if nothing had occarred. But she had, it scems, planned an elopement with 2 young_fellow named Charles Ii. Hamilton, who owns a_bookstore in Paterson. Her parents were oppoecd to_the match because of their daughter's outh, as she is only a trifle past 18 years old, On uesday morning, she left acard in the looking- lass in her room, bearinz'the words, *‘Iam go- rng away, and after to-day Ishall no longer be Lulu Warner, "' and departed from her home.” Her flight was discovered and purenit commenced. 8he ‘met Hamilton according to appointment. and pro- ceeded with him to St. Patrick’s Church, where they were duly married. The chagrin of the fath- er, who arrived 2 half-hour later, may be imag- ined, and-he now threatens to prosecute the priest ‘who tied the marriage-knot. Mr. and Mrs. Hamil- ton are enjoying their honeymoon at tho Centen- nial, and Bergen Heights is quiet. A WOMAN WITH A HISTORY. One of the waifs thrown upon New York by the late Rebellionis a woman now about 40 years old, who is often observed upon Broad- ‘way near Madison square, promenading always alone. Sheis attractive in appearance, dressed in good taste, and excites attention wherever she goes. This woman is now the landlady of & fash- ionable and apparently very respectable boarding- house on Lexington avenue. Her husband is the dealer of a faro-bank in a so-called *‘skin game™ on Broadway near Canal street, bat once a year he jsin the habit of making a trip Southward to attend the races in that scctivn. 1le I8 now in Lonisville Elyin his gambler's vocation, and has oubtless reaped golden harvest. Tor- merly they resided in Virginia, where the husband was engaced in gambling, but they left that country etricken in purse, and the husband in health, immediatery after the War. The woman ng:ncd 8 boarding-house, and, thon; ‘her name has been mixed up with several scandais, she has managed to maintain an ontward garb of respectanility, and savo herself frgfaa reputation of shame. Her antecedents, hd\vever, are very doubtfal; and, as the favorite of one of Virginia's wealthy citizens, she was reputed to be worth, when the War commenced, about £100,000. She isabout to sue. her husband for- divorce, on the ground that he ‘does not properly support her, and that he is a gambler, etc. ; but, a8 sbe walks our gtreets, very few ?emun! ‘would recognize her as a creature whose Listory is cqualto the plot of & e novel. FUNNY EXPERIENCE OF AN ACTOR. A city detective who could mistake an actor who has for scveral yegs appeared om the boards of oneof our city theatres, for a for- cigner and criminal, must have peculiar facul- ties to fit him for the work. Yet this is exactly ‘what has happened within ten days in this city. Abous the 17th of the present month this actor dis- covered that he was being shadowed by two un- known men. They watched him apparently night and doy. and, 85 he was unacqumnted with their object, he naturally suspected robbery. To his mind, nothing could be more ridicnious. Being ‘without a position, Lis worldly we:Ith consisted of the clothes he stood in, a tew changes of Lirien, and a gold watch of inditferent value. His haants were ehadowed by the strangers until they annoyed him beyond weasure. One y he concluded to try a trip to Harlem. Lo! his watch- ers were fast on his track: and then he essayed something to amuse_himsclf with, by trying to give them the glip. e hircd a carriage, and proceeded to a Bloomingdale-rond hotel, and, slipping out the back way, ran to the river and es- caped in a boat. On returning to his room late at night, the watchers were in waiting for him. Day ‘before yesterdsy the matter arrived at a crigis. He communicated the information 1o the police, and" before nizht learned something which made him almost split bis sides with laughter. It scems he been followed by private detectives upon the belief that he was an escaped English criminal zuilty of forgery, and the object was fo keep posted as 1o his whereabonts in case the Extradi- tion treaty were revived. A phatograph, of the man was shown to the actor, and the resemblance was amazing; but the :}mme detectives owned their mistake and offered (o treat. The apology was accepted. ITIE NEW ADONIS A FAILURE. Many months ago I wrote you about 2 new actor then expected from Eneland, who was to outdo Harry Montague and George Rignold in breaking the susceptible female hearts of the Metropolis. His name was not mentioned, but his personal beauty was daintily described, and iz was o day of great expectations for sentimental school-girls and others when his first appearance was angounced. Since then he has come. His .name {5 James Coghlan; and, though he came_and saw, the zirls are still unconquered. In a single ‘word. 2s an Adonis Coghlan is a fmlure. He is a comely, wc]]-&hnneflrcnon, of undoubted meritsas an actor, who will win his ‘way rapidly to public favor; but he hasnone of those extraordinary graces of person which were expected to cantivate the female heart. and set Marray Hill and Madison avenue into a mew fever of excitementat once. The eoclety-girls who have seen him sy he A8 *‘nice,”” and - the men say he is **clever;™ but the still wanting. Vale! INGEATITUDE OF NUMANITY. Another instance of the old maxim that cor- ‘porations have no souls, was fllustrated Lere & few days agc, by the ousting of a well-known gentlemaan from the Secretaryship of a wealthy corporation,—a position he had held for four years. The Company at the beginning was his own creation; lLe bought the patents in his own name, got up the Company, secured the sub- ecriptione, and interested all the stockholders in the enterprise. At first it paid bal slightly, but gradually its profits increascd. The stuck rose frum 20 per cent below par to 60 above. and the dividends were prompt and regular. All this time the Secretary devoted his entire time to the besi- ness, npon a small salary, and was the man who made the Companv what itis. There w2s no com- plaint of s want of faithfulncss on his part, and no charge of incompetency was ss?hle; but it seems that onme of the irectors had a son-in-law for whom he was solicitons to gecure a position, and he intrigued with two other Directors to deciare the office of Secretary vacant, €0 as to make a place for the aforesaid son-in-law, This was done 8t the Inst meeting, and the aston- izhed official is now nncmploged. This is about the smallest instance of o small-potsto business on record. and I only regret that the seal of secrecy is upun my pen ot to divalge the numes of the par- ties concerned in the outrage. HOW THE MANAGERS ARE APPROACHED. In thé war roused by Stuart Robson and Bret Harte upon the services of critics, 'some very valuable informationis being brought out, There is not theremotest shadow or adoubt that, so far as the main charge of venality on the part of the critics is affected, it is utterly false and base- less. Bret Harte is well aware of that fact, and he is flonndering around in the sea of dgspair like a rowning man in the surf, only proving that he is drowning by his efforts to drag somebody else down with him. DBut it is an undoubted trath, for all that. that the newspapers are used by dutsiders o procure passes und other favors from the theatres to an extent that their proprietors do not dream of. An example is given of young men, connccted with a certain newepaper office in rome way, going to various theafres, and demanding that their printing be given to a particatar job oflice, which is understood to be owned in part by the pro- prietor of the newepaper. These fellows have prom- ived, in retarn for the printing, that their patrons ehall have the suppowt of the paper; but nobod: supposes that this transparent trickery is carricd- on with the knowledge or consent of the owner of the journal in question. Other parties have sufli- cieut acquaintance with the press to obtainan occasiongl notice of some favorite, and forthwith the manager is deluged wi*h applications for a loan of $5 or larger sums, and these demands are often repeated. DIRECT CHARGE AGAINST A SUNDAY JOURNAL. Now comes Mr. Frank Hart, Treasurer of the Eagle Theatre, of this city, and charges a small scandal directly upon the proprietors of one of the best-known and oldest of the exclusively Sunday journals, that {its columns have been turned into a sewer to abuse the theatre because its adverticement was withdrawn from the paper under circumstances, which if cor- rectly recited, retiect upon the integrity of that journal severely. Mr. llart says that they paid from §3 to §5 per week for the advertisement, and received a gratuitous notice, varying in_length from a quarter to a third of a coluinn. What an- noyed them the most was the continual boring re- sorted to by the editors for passes and eeats. The number cailed for was oui of all proportion to the claims of the paper, and finally, to get rid of the nuisance, the mapagers ordered the advertisements 10 be diecontinued in that sheet. Since then the former favorable nutices have ceased, and, in their place, violent abugc is every week showered upon the theatre and its management. ‘The value of such criticisms under these circumstances, can be {magined, but not described. g SAD EFFECT OF PRESERVING REPUTATION. Itis well known thata woted firm of piano- makers have spent large sums of money and an immense+deal of trouble in addition, to prose- gute certain parties who have used their names upon worthless pianos. An incident lately oc- cnrred which shows that it is easier to make a row abont an imjtation thun 1o kecure & recognition of one’s own claims. dy came from the, country to buy a $1,00C piano, and, after purchasing one of a well-known dealer, made this remark: ‘T intended to buy a — piano,-and was recommend- ed by my fnends to do so; but I eaw in the papers the ather nay that thay were mixed up with bogus instruments, and I determined to keep away from them. " Thus, by reason of their exposc of the trashy wares of other makers, they lost the sale of a genuine instroment., Truly, sich is fame! THEY EXCHANGED LOVERS. A pood story is being told of two young misses, living at Murray Hill, who went to the Centennial last week. They were accompanicd Dby their beaux; and, on the grounds, they were 80 badly mixed in the crowd that they exchapged thelr escorts. Mises A. took Mr. B., who belonged to Miss C., and the latter took Mr. D.,,who be- longed to Miss A. They never met again in Phila- delphia; and, when they all fiot.pack to thia city. Miss A. liked Mr. B 20 well that she discarded Mr. D, and the Iatter liked hor so well, in return, that he discarded Miss C. So the net result is, that Miss A, and Mr. B. are engafcd: and the other pair hate each other. and their respective rivals, and themselves, with an intensity of hate only girls of 18 can nnderstand.

The tattered and torn appearance of the United States flag su?ended across Camp street, belonging to the American Union Club, told yesterday a sad tale of New Orieans hatred to our national colors. Late on Sunday night it was assaulted by a crowd of young men, who sadly clubbed, batted, and stoned it, many of _the rocks thrown going completely through the bnnux_:%, leaving ggl holes a8 marks of spite and disloyalty, w!

The routine business of fthe banks was heavier, 88 is usually the case on Saturdays, but there was no other notable feature in the operations of the day. The wholesale trade of the city has hardly ‘been ns extensive as it'promised to be this month, and the offerings of commercial and misccllanerus paper have been less than they wonld shave been otherwise. The demand from the interiorhas been extensive and bankers have had to discriminate in accepting country paper presented for discount, in order not to put too large a proportion of their resonrces in paper which 1s at best slower than city paper. The Board of Trade demand is light. Rates of discount are 8@10 per ceat at banks to regular costomers. To desirable outside borrowers better rates are made. First-class thirty-day notes can be discounted at 6 per cent. There is a demand supply, and rates are the same as among the banks, .

The September wheat deal, which is generally underatood to have been a cornér. has closed with | little excitement, and not much chance for trouble. It is beliéved that less than 100,000 bu remains uu- settled. The maguitude of the deal is estimated at not lesa than 3,000,000 nor more than 3,000,000 bu, and the profit on it in the neighborhood of $250,000. The wheat was bonght sl the way up {from 85¢; and Is understood to have been held chiefly onaccount of parties in Milwaukee. The sulphur mills are reported to be hard at work doctoring barley, which is being sold by sample, chiefly to country maltsters. Those who find fanlt with the quality of the malt made-from it should not blame the Chicazo Board of Trade, as the stoff is not countenanced on 'Change. The leadfog produce markets were more active on Saturday, -chiefly because it was the last day of the month, and mostof thom werefirm. Wheat and corn were steadier than expected, barley stronger, and oats easier, while there was little change in provisions. The recsipts of graln were very large, chiefly in corn, and the freight movement was more active, with an advance of Xc in carrying rates by l'}‘;ut slight change was apparent in the lead- ing features of the dry-goods market. A good, healthy trade is in progress, snd the tenor of prices for all standard staple produc- tions remains unqualifiedly firm. In the grocery ‘market the situation was essentially unchanged. Business, if not coming up to the expectations of the more sanguine, equaled the expectations of reazonable holders, the volume of sales considera- Dbly exceeding that of last yearata corresponding period. Prices were generally firm, while in some lines—notably coffees and teas—the tendency was to advance. The demand for butter was briek. Bothlocal buyersand shippers were ordering frecly, and the receipts were quickly absorbed at full prices. Chcese remains dull, but the light stock on hand prevents uny depreciation in values. No price changes were noted in dried fruits, canned goode, and fish. Oils were quiet, with prices gen- erallf stendy. The exception was turpeatine, in which a further advance of 1c was established,— now quoted at 40c. Coal and wood were dull and unchanged. Leather was fairly active and firm. Hozs were in good demand at Friday's prices, - ‘bacon grades selling at $6.00@6.10, and common to extra heavy at $5.75@6.25. The receipts for the week were about 67,000, and since Jan. 1, 2,083,600, against 2,640,328 to same date last year., Cattle were dull and unchanged, at $2.50@ 5.00 for common to choice. The receipts from Jan. 1 to date were 839,088, agninst 700,741 last year. Sheep were scarce at §2.75@4. 50. Lumber continues dull at the sale docks, with the offerings liberal and a falr prospect of its belng increased soon, as the out-fleet is now dune. At the yards a fairtrade is in progress, but prices are irreimlar, g8 stocks are large and many dealers are anxious to reduce them before the close of the fall season. Haraware and nails were in fair de- mand, and steady. The wool market was firm, under 8 fair inquiry from Eastern and interior manufacturers and moderate offerings. Broom- corn, hides, and alt were nnchanged. Bops were very firm, in sympathy with Eastern and foreign markets, and growers in the West still manifest little dcsire to part with their crop at the prices offered for it. Seeds wero quict and unchanged. The shipping demand for potatoes continues fair, and choice varieties are irm. Poultry way dull and weak, and eg2gs strong. Lake freights were active, and fully 3¢ per bu higher under a good demand, chiefly for corn-room. Rail freights were quict, without change In quota- tions, agents asking 20c to New York, 18c to Phil- adelphia, 17%c to Baltimére, and 25¢ to Doston, per 100 bs. Through rates by lake and rail were quoted at 10c for corn and 1ic for wheat to New York, and 11c on corn via Buffalo to Boston. Freight engagements were reporied for 55,000 bu ‘wheat, 500, 000 bu corn, 15,000 bua oats, and 15, 000 ba barley. Lake rates for insurance have advanced. being new as follows: Sarnia 70, Buffalo 100, Lake On- tario 150, Ogdensburz 160, Montreal 200 net,—25 per cent off from the sbove rates for second class.
