Some of the Social Phases of Pri- vate Theatrical Clubs. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New Yogk, Dec. 7.—There seems to be the usual amount of fashionable frivality projected for the season. Balls, private and public, re- ceptions, dancing partick, and the like, arc on the tapis quite as largely as last year, and, in i spite of hard times, depressed ‘business, and the uncertainties of politics, shout as mauy mar- engagements are reported 85 ususl at this time of year, Enzagements, however. are very wiscly described as cheap affairs unless mar- riage ensacs mmmediatcly. The mere fact that _Augustos and Fideliz are engnged fa not indicative of immediate matrimony, and, beyond a few par- tics, and theatres, and concerts, the young man need not epend any more money asan engaged Augustus than as a candidate for that bhonor.

Perhaps no better illustration of the desper- ete straits to which & poor man may be reduced can be cited than the experience 6f a poor fcl- low who was arrested last Saturday morning in Brooklyn upon a charge of bigany. He was charged with marrying a servant-girl to obtain moncy from her, and failing in that with dezerting her. When arrested at his home in Enet New York 1t wae apparent the family were in great destitution 3nd had had nothing to eat bat potatocs far several daye.

They were mar- ried accordingly. but the giri was too smart to part with hermoney. o the new husband threw off Lhe mack and Jeft Ber. She put an oflicer on his track, who diecavered that he was atready a macried man, and hence the arreet, There was no harm done to the girl. and she withdrew the complaint when she beard thedacts. The poor fellow was discharged. AN ECCENTRIC FOREIGN FEMALE. One of our wealthy citizens took unto himself 2 gecond wife in Earope not many months ago, and the couple are living not far from Dr. Hepworth's Cliurch, in one of the elezant brown-stonc mansions of that lozality. There are po children by the first marriage to haras« the xew wife, bnt she is resolved apparently to make Tp in personal eccewtricities what sh2 lacks n opportanitics for domestic carcs. One of her whims is the collectivn of a larze wardrobe. and her manner of keepinzit: ane bf the rooms of the house is filled up as a showtroom, or rathera store-room for kecving her drosses.

The death of & young lady only 15 years old o this city a week azo brings around the wheel of fortune to a strauge point. This girl was the only child of a couple who were wedded in great strle in one of our fashionable churches abont seventeen years ago. The hushand wes him- 1elf a wealthy man, and his wife was a snpposed beirese, bot lier father failed, and her expectations zame to naught. Then her busband was unfortu- gate, but ehe persuaded bim to make over to her property valued at that time:at _$250,000. worth since then fally 8300,000. From that moment she sppeared to turn aminst him, and when, 3 _year after. he fafled in businces, owing to Soutnern dehits diehonored on acconnt of the Rebellion, she treated him as a mendicant looking to her for charity.

Ii is probable that the trne art of petting rich consists in knowing how to keep money when you get it; and if the history of the self- made rich men in this country were written it would be found that habits of * self-denial and the practice of the art of making every dollar do swo dollare’ work wereatthe bottom of their euc- Tess. mmfi anecdotes of old John Jacob Astor ar® selated to show how glnfiefl; he spent money, but It s doubtful if during a)l bis experience ‘anything can be found €0 low down in the emall-potato Line 1san incident which actually occarred in this city ay before yesterday.

A 3 XNOT EXACTLY WHAT HE BARGATNED FOR. Oune of -our most popular actors, 2 handsome, dashing fellow, on Thanksgiving-Day morning wandered into a strauge harber-shop, and thought it would be agood joke to play deal .and dumb. The boss-barber happened tobea bright and jovial sort of fellow himself, and hought he knew the newcomer, but esid nothing. When our actor friend sat down in his chair, = the room, and the affectation of horror of | dust Bas become a mania. The dinner partics | nick-witted barber sawa mcmngnm on & watch- ob_which satisfied his mind t| his deaf and dumb customer was none other than an attachc of the — Theatre. He suspected 8 practical joke. & 1a Solhern, and was not long in tarning the tables upon him.' Accordingiy, the barber began to make remarks to his next_chair workman, tothe effect that they had a deafand dumb man atanadvantage, and could chip off part of his nose or chin with imponity, or slice off a picce of his cheek,. al- thongh this one wosld never mues it, 8 he bad Bg much cheek left. Another remark was dm;:E‘n that this man, though well dressed, had a Lorribly dirty head, and n cnitical examination was made of it to ascertain if there wcre sny movable signs upon the scasp. The pretended deaf and dumb ‘man could scarcely control himself, but ruanaged to pass the urde!{ until tie barber safd to h!u friend that he once had a professed mule to =have Who wak playing a joke on him, and that they al- most scared him to death with stories of an inten- tion to cut his throat. This was ton much; the actor shoved the barber aside and exciaimed $CThis is the worst farce 1 cver took partin. Wash off my face and let me go.” e Is satisfied that the deaf-and-dumb role is not bis forte. TAKING A LOOK AT.A STIPF CREMATIONIST. Yesterday was the day appointed for the cremation of the body of the so-called: Baron Palm. OnMondaya select party of =cporters were invited tobe present when ‘Tcmains were first taken from the Luthcran Cemetery at East New York preparatory to shipment to Washington, Pa. Several medical gentlemen and members of the Theosophical Society were among the invited guests. Tpon entering the receiving vault the Baron's remains were exposed to view in the metallic casket, and the'embalming process pronounced a success, fo far as the desired six months' preservation is concerned. Tlie body was found to be in’a fair condition, although somewhat discolored and shrunken. It was of an ashy- gray hue from the effects of the coat- ing of potter's . clay originally placed upon it for preservative purposes. The injection of arsenic into the blood-vessels was a failure. The body was like leather to the touch. the eyes had dropped frgm their sockets, and the face was as ghastly a sight as one may wish to eec. The hair of the head and the eide-whiskers were firmly rooted, and the joints were flexible as when the body was buried.” A eurgeon lanced the leg, but it w28 quite dry, and the _only odor was that of car- bolic acid. The Baron §s a hero of whom it may be truly said: **1is works do live after him.™ "AlL the illustrated papers sent special artists to the cremation ceremonies. PRETIT AND INTELLIGENT, BUT FRAIL AND X WICKED. Last week the Hebrews of Brooklyn—the fashionable and wealthy ones—were ina ferment. because of the failure of a projected wedding in that city where the guests assembled and the bride was in her wedding garments, but the bridegroom came not, 8o there was no wedding. This week the same class of citizens arein o tu- mult, quiet but painfal, over the developments in a divorce enit lately brought before one of the courte. The plaintiff is Adolpa Laitner. a gentie- man of high social standing and eminent as a mer- chant. The defendant, his wife, is o lady of great personal beauty and intellectual accomplishments, once a belle in_the fashionable Hebres rociety of this city, and the centre of a host of ndmirers. Perhaps itis this fact thet has tarned her head. The husband alleces thut for sexeral years she has evinced a2 disregard. for her dutics as a wite, ond a fove of intrigue sud dissipation has grown upon her 1o such a degree that he is compelled to seek the aid of the Iaw 10 rid him of the bonds which bind him to heraea husband. He eays that the doctrinesof his Church forbid bim to scek a divorce except a4 a last resort, and that he has borne with her miscondnct inhopes of witnessing a reformation. He discovered an assignation with & man over ‘five vears 3o, and when he demanded an explanation she left Lim. Butshe rctarned, and was forgiven.- Then followed a series of irregularities and discoveries of marital infidelity. Tlc woman charzes that this sait 18 in the natare of & slander, and that the sto- ries of her immorality are untrue. Her lawyer promiscs to make it warm for Mr. Laitner when the case comes on for trial, and in the meantime the friends of the parties are shocked. THE WOMAN IN THE TWEED CASE. There! Didn’t we all know that there was'a woman somewhere in the Tweed case? Was it ‘possible somuch roguery and rascality could go on year after year without a woman appearing initatsometime? Perishthethonght! Hereshe comes in the form of a handsome, buxom woman, the danghter of s well-known sporting man. She made Tiweed's acquaintance some time hefore his downfall, and, being clever, bright, and intelligent, as well a8 preposeessing, she soon acquired a pow- er over the Boss which was as natursl as the rinple of 3 moonbeam, Of course it was a secret at the time; the Boss enjoyed her society unknown to his family, and =he s0on made herselr felt in political and financial circles. When she fint made Tweed's acgnaintance she wasliving in comparative obzcurity aud poverty, but soon aficr she became rich. ~She acqaired real estate, wore elezant dia- monde, owned bandsome carriages and horses, Jived in 3 magnificent house bought and paid for with money believed fo have Leen' given her by or through Tweed. Herinfinence was soon discovered, and the political cronies of Tweed bezan to lavish presents upon her, and were favorad in retarn. She dispensed contracts and offices with no miserly band: bat_in nTu(tc of all hada forcboding of the fotore. iad Tweed faken her advice be might have been free to-day.

A young woman of 22, named Sarah Stepney, has sued a widower of 50 named Jobn Mulgasey for breach of promise, and the stories they re- cite arc somewhat extraordinary. Ske claims that on the night after the death of his wife he proposed to her, was accepted, and the bar- gain ealed by his taking a husband's priFieges m advance. Thatis her story in a natshell. Ris lm?ii! somewhat different, and, in spite of the gravity of the charge nnder which he rests, it is gecidedly funny. Mlulgavey says that when his wife died the neighbors “were invited to the ‘‘wake.” That evening his deceased wife's mother cawe to him in a friendly way, and advised him to marry Sarah Stepnev, ' as_ she would_make a° good mother for the children, etc. When the time came for her to g0 home he offered his escort, which she accepted, and on the road she osked bim if he intended tak- inganother wife.

SINGULARE EPISODE IN AN ELOPEMENT CASE. A benevolent Jady of this aity was recently summoned to the relicf of s poor woman living, or rather dying, in a mean hovel on Bedford street, near Grove.. The woman was of swarthy complexion, and turped out to be a native Hindoo who had been in this country nearly two years try- ing to raise sufiicient money to retarn to her own land. From her catly youth she had been attached toa French family. and ber departure from India was carious. ‘I'he daughter of her master, a beau- tiful girl of 20, eloped with a French merchant, and tbe woman, Ayah Murats by name, accompa- nied her. The French girl marriud her lover on shipboard, and the trip world have been o plens- ant one but for the outbreak of a mutiny in thg ship's crew, The husband tried to quell the out- break, and recelved wonnds from the eflecis of ‘which he died. The wife became a raving ma- nizc, and the Hindoo woman was in despair, The -ehip's cook, a Malay, took a fancy to her, and by his assistance the mistress and maid were trane- ferred to a »hip bound Lo thix conntry. The cook wished to marry her, but she refused, and_with her mistress she tought employment for their mntaal support. No tidings of the latter's family contd be obtained, although letter after letter was writ- ten. The mistress dicd, leaving her inlant child on the Hindoo’s hands,' and it was one constunt straggle to get meat and shelter for them, which finally ended i the visitof the benevolent Iady first mentloned. Ayah is now well cared for, but she clinge to the child of her dead mistresy with all of a mother's care. Sne has often ap- peared with it on the street, and the contrast be- Tween her own features and thoseof the fair-haired child has attracted considerable atiention. A SEXTON’S DAUGHTRR IN TROUBLE.

If she were not pretty, probably she would have escaped troubles aa it is, she aptracted the notice of all the tiandsome fellows i town, and atlength found herscltin the meshes of a dashing young clerk named Edward C.

The sequel, however, was almost as disastrons to her peace of mind as the first wronz she had suficred. Renad's family were immensely shocked by the arrest of their son, and it seems to have entered their minds that the girl and not the man was wholly to blame. After the marringe, she was taken to Read's home and Jocked in a hall-room six fcet wide and eight feet long. Food was given to her as to any' other prisoner. Last week she pleaded with ber father- in-law (her husband having dieappeared) for more mercifol {reatment. and was knocked down. On Sunday she managed to escape, and ran home.

A POPULAR AMATEUE CLUB ARRAIGNED. One of the most popular amateur private theatrical associations in Brooklyn is called the “Amarauth.” Its free performances are alweys crowded, and some exceptional good acting Dy the ladies and gentlemen who compose thecom- pany has been recorded. The Amaranth gained an unenviablenotoriety a few years azo by the scandal growing out of on intrigue and subsequent divorce suit affecting one of its prominent lady members, ‘There was an elopement and a shooting fracas, and for the time the Amaranth snffered. Ontliving the scandal, the club hos kept up its performances and rehearsals, until now it is a leading affair in the wiater amusements of the city of Beecher and Tilton. The personnel of the club has not kept space with its artistic dcrelo‘{)mcnt, but, ou the contrary, lowere in the aristocratic standing ' of its members and enbscribers.
