[Correspondence of The Evening Star.| NewYork, March 15, is3l, This week opened with a flood of broad sun- shine that seemed to throw warmth and re- pewed vigor into every part of life. It was the first touch of the springtime, in pleasant con- trast to Vennor's prediction of returning snow andice. It really made the “openings” In the , Windows of the Broadway stores look as if they were not, in weather parlance, false “indica- | Uons” of the season, but very decisive proba- bilities of what is to follow. It has given a | marked impetus to trade, for, according to the reports of the wholesale dealers, the flood hag come as sudden as it is general. The orders for | gooas from every quarter—espectally trom the South, where cash buyers are reported to pre- dominate this year—exceed those of last spring, and a strong and healthy vernal tide {s expecta to continue. There 13 no good reason why tals should not beso. Nearly every portion of the country is prosperous, and that prosperity ram- ities sooner or later into this commercial ceater to attest the soundness'and vigor of the whole. i. B.

THE WORLD'S PAIR A PROBABLE FAILURE. It bas forsome days past been manifest that the projected World’s Fair would never take Place, The indifference of the states, to say ee the people and the general govern- ment. has contributed finally to such a delay that 1t 1s now believed to be impossible to secure sufficient means in time to insure any- thing like success. Gen. Grant will probably resign to-morrow as president, and that will be the end of it. No little surprise was felt at the time over his accepting the position. The ex- perlence ot this enterprise—even if such were needed—merely confirms the opinion that an international exposition must oe inaugur: and sustained by the government ff it ts in- tended to reflect the progress of the country in which it 1s originated. Private enterprise never has been, and probably never will ba, equal to it. The American Institute Fair which is held every fail here, is an old and reliable institution and seems to satisfy those who are interested in the progress of the mechante arts, which, after all, is the ledding feature of every World's Fair. THE NEW UNION LEAGUE CLUB HOUSE. Although the new Union League Club house on 5th avenue does not meet popular approval, arehitectually speaking, without, it 1s, within, undoubtedly one of the most splendid club houses In the world, The facades are satd to Jack symmetry, unity, simplicity; but the build- ing committee, agreeing to ali this, replied: “We want lirst of all a house comfortabie to live in—we propose to build for ourselves, not for outsiders.” And inside it ts spacious, lux- urlous, and withal, homelike. The reception rooms, library, etc., are all richly decorated, and the dining-room {s a model of murai dec: oration. The artist has painted there a bronzed and tinted bas relief of Victory, eight feet high, and also a bronzed and tinted coat of arms of the state of New York, but the propriety of this kind of decoration in a dining-room 1s questioned. Hardiy any building in New York as been 80 much written and talked ebout,and a visit is well worth the time it takes to go through it. TRE AMERICAN HORSE EXCHANGE. We have stock, mining, produce and other exchanges here for buying and selling all that we have, (and more frequently selling that which we have not), but the latest in this line was the opening on Wednesday of the American horse exchange in the new bulld- ing which covers the greater part of the block bounded by Broadway and Seventh avenue, 50th and 5ist streeta. All of the horses offered were imported from England, and while the attendance was large the bid- ding was not as spirited as was expected, and the prices were much lower than what’ the animals cost. The first sale was an Arab stal- } lion for $35, which wa3 purchased by a Mrs, ; Hiltchcock. Mungo, a stud stalifon. brought $500, Matchless sold for $1,000, but 500 guineas was offered for his return, Another one, Non- sense, brought $1,075, and was a well known race horse in England. The Englishmen pres- ent were disappointed, but prices will doubt- less go up When the character of the stock and the exchange are more favorably known. It is atleast a novelty now, though tntended to rotect the interests of buyers and sellers of jorse tlesh. Admission and a regular commls- sion are charged on all transactions. A FILTRY CITY. You can hardly imagine, with your smooth, clean streets in Washington, what a condition the streets of New York are in at present. A public meeting to be held to-night of leading citizens Indicates best the sentiment of Indig~ nation that js felt. Off of Broadway it seems a3 if the accurmulated deposits of six months had been thrown into hillocks and rows of black mud, from which the Ice is ee a rivulet of black paste in the streets, rendering them almost impassable to those on foot and emttting an odor whose effect is shown palafully In the rapid increase of the death rate. The street cleaning system here, which costs over a coo) million a year, 18 a most inefficient one.

THE PURIM BALL, This is the season of the charity balls, The one given on Tuesday evening, however, brought the season of masquerade balls to an end in the Purim ball, whitch was an immense Success, netting $21,000) for the Hebrew orphan asylum. It was held in the Academy of Music, and the decorations alone were well worth a visit. When the curtain rose the rear of the Stage was transformed into a rustic bridx3, covered with a ee Of flowers and trop!- cal plants, and underneath there rippled a Sparkling waterfall amid a bed of lillies and roses. ‘The Academy was floored over and Cleared at 11 p.m. for the m&sked procession, which was grotesque in every feature, and wound up with a huge baton of lowers, trom which a beautiful young lady emerged and opened the ball with a waltz as Prince of the Carnival ne of the many surprises of tho evening was a represeptation of the “Rat Charmer,” in which a young lady came out,and dancing to a bright tuné coaxed from their hiding-places twenty-four rats, represented by boys to perfection. They joined in the dance, when -there was a grand crash in the music, and four cats appeared and dashed at the rats, who suddenly disappeared. This was followed by seven mimic plastic tableaux, in which four- teen young ladles joined, and who, with the rat charmeérs, were warmly applauded. Gen. Grant, Col. Mapleson and others were In the XES, BILLEE TAYLOR. ‘The attractions at the theaters just now are a decided improvement over those of the past few weeks.

The New Czar’s Policy. CIRCULAR TO RUSSIAN AMBASSADORS. M. Glers, Russian minister of foreign affairs, bas addressed the following circular, dated March 16, to the Russian represantatives abroad: “His majesty the Emperor, on ascending the throne of his ancestors, assumes as an inherlt- ance the traditions consecrated by time and their acts. Russia has now attained her full development. Feelings of jealousy and discon. tent are equally forgotten to her. The Enpe- ror will first give attention to the internal de- velopment of thestate. The Emperor's foreign policy will be entirely pacitic. Russia will re. main faithful to her friends, reciprocate the friendliness of all thestates and act in common with other governments in maintaining tne lethens peace. Only the duty of protecting her ‘onor or security may divert hemfrom the work of internal development. The Emperor will endeavor to strengthen her power, advance her welfare and secure her prosperity without det- riment to others. These are the principles by which the policy of the Emperor will invariably beguided. The Emperor charges you to bring these declarations to the knowledge of the gov- ernment to which you are accredited and to communicate this dispatch to the minister of forelgn affairs.” A Locomotive Sixty-Two Feet Long.

Dr. Loomis, of the Academy of Medicine, ascribed the elty’s pres- ent bigh mortality to unclean streets, Jud Brady and Choate and others spoke.

In explaining his reasons jor resigning, Gen.

With re- gard to the question of site, he said that he Ubought that It should be left open until the necessary amount of money is subscribed, and then determined by the vote of the subscribers. He still thought the Central Park site the only one to which no exception could be made on the score of Its position.” THE JAPANESE Exrosition.—The Japanese Hational industrial exhibition was opened in Toklo, March 1, with imposing ceremonies.

C., March 18, says: A very interesting murder cage which has occupied the court here for the greater part of the past week ended to-day. On the bight of the 9 of last Aug. the community Was thrown into a commotion by the discovery of one of the most fiendish murders ever com- mitted in South Carolina. A highly respected young gentleman named D. M. Harrold, teacher in the public schools, was found in one of the principal streets lying in a pool of blood, with several gashes in the neck and head, evidentiy iniilcted by a sharp hatchet. He'died soon after without being able to give any clue that roight lead to the arrest oi bis assassins. He Was one of the most kindly disposed and in- offensive young men in the community. It Was puzzling to suggest any motive for his murder, for his ‘kets had,not been robbed by those who struck him down in the dark, ‘The following day three negro brothers were arrested on suspicion of having kliled Harrold. ‘These brothers, Ben, Richard and Louis James, were Indicted for murder and their trial began last Monday. eee Interest in the case has been manifested by the public. ‘To-day It was given to the jury who, after remaining out a few hours, rendered a verdict of gulity as to the first two named, and Judge Cressley sentenced them to be hanged on the 3d day of May next.
