Brooks, chef of the Treasury secret ser vice, and several membersof his family, were taken. il, and that the beef tongue of which they ate had shown on examination traces of arsenic. Tue case 13 one about which there is some mystery. Mr. Brooks and his friends are unable to account for it, and can hardly realize that this was an attempt to poison any one. The full facts in the case are that last Saturday, with other meats for the family, a’ corned beef tongue was ordered delivered at the house, and cooked, and on Sunday evening was on the tea table, when several inembers of the family par- Look of it, but no ill effects followed. On Tuesday morning the remaining portion of the tongue was sliced and placed on the breaktast table, and Mr. Brooks, his wife, and her sister, Mrs. Thwing, Miss Nellie Brooks and a grand child sat down to the table, a i but the two last named partaking of the tongte. Mr. and Mrs, Brooks, about 10% or 11 o’elock, were taken sick while walking down 7th street.’ Mr. Thwing was sick about the sime Ume, and When they returned home Mrs. Brooks’ sister was found to be sick. Dr. B. B. Adams was, called in and treated them for poison, and they all recovered. Some of the rematning ‘parts of the tongue were found, and at the drug store of Purdy & Co, a test being applied the presence of arsenic Was dliscovered. “Otier portions were submitted to Dr. DeSmeat, the District ehemist, who also found poison. —— Amusements, &c.

He wore a new sult of clothes, which some took to be of a cut not fashionable yet in this country. This man was for a time lost in the crowd that was pressing forward to obtain a glimpse of Lieut. Danenhower. As. the latter seated himself in the carriage the rough-looking stranger extended his hand to Lieut, Danenhower, remarking: “Good-bye, Meutenant; I will see you to-morrow.” This was enough to’ attract. atien- tion to him, and soon he had a dense crowd about him and Was graphically describing the scenes through which the party had 4d, telling how the poor lentenant, having lost his eyesight, was led over the snow by careful hands after they had Jeft the ship, which he had admonished them hever to up.

Special Correspondence of Ta EVENING StaR. New York, June 2, 1882 President Arthur visits New York so seldom that when he does come he creates a commotion. The bare announcement of hts intended visit aroused politicians from a condition of semi-tor- por. Those who sport feathers in their hair, and those who follow the leadership of Governor Cor- hell, (this 1s a separate faction now,) assert, and loudly, too, that the army of politicians from the interlor of the state came to the efty because they were wanted. The President himself blended business with pleasure. Reviewing the procession on Decoration day came under the head of business, rather than pleasure, if one’s eyes are to be trusted. He stood on the grand staid i the most languld manner, occasionally forced a smile, raised his hat a3 If wearied and overworked, and looked bored. More time was spent at his house in Lexi n avenue than usual. On Sunday the President, Roscoe Conkling and others went on an excursion to Babylon on Long Island. The most remarkable feature of the excursion was the fact that the train ran most of the distance at the rate of a mile aminute. The road 1s probably the worst one in the country. ‘The wonder is that we still have a President ‘and an ex-Senator. On Monday the party went fishing, and the President caught one trout. Mr. Conkling had hfs usual fil luck. As to the political outlook, outsiders are as mueh tn tle dark almost as they were before this last uproar. The impression is abroad that Secretary Folger Will be put forward as the candidate of the stal- ris. Governor Cornell is still the strongest man. Since the talk about Mr. Tilden the democrats have lapsed into an ominous silence. There has hot been So much 2s a peep for a week or two, and everything {s at a standstill In state politics. OPERATIC GOSsIP—MME. PREVOST. Operatic and theatrical circles are talking about Mme. Prevost—or rather the woman who was supposed to be the wife of M. Prevost, the French tenor. Iremember this woman very well. One night last winter at the Academy of MusiesI saw her promenading in the lobbies, nanging on the arm of a very slender and beardless youth. Her s a blending of the French and plexion fair, and her hair She was rather large and was so laced that she seemed to have dimlculty in breathing. ention S$ called to her vy the he Walked, which Was not graceful, but the Way a Woman struts when she wants men to see Her dress that night was elegant. and monds gleamed from her throat and in her hair. So bent was she on attracting notice that the ‘slim young man at her side was almost ignored. i was told that evening that she was an adventuress from Paris and hada queer history, if itonly were known. Some of this history has come out and that is what the talk is about. It appears that she umes as she has fingers and to ‘or some time she Wa known as the Countess Sthouvaloff, and as a ashing Russtan she engaged in several intrigues. hen she became Involved in serous complica- ved her hair and changed her name to ¢ more euphonius one of the Marquise de Salva- dor, She became attached to some count or other, nd lived in luxury for awhile.

He declared the youngster had no legal right to draw up such papers, What a fine figure Madame Schouvaloff-Salvador-Salvini-Tilkin-Prevost Will cut in court! NEWSPAPERS—AN EVENING ONE. It seems as though New York would never have a first-class evening paper. There fs a field of un- doubted richness for one if it will ever come for- ward. A really able, well edited, spicy and enter. prising evening paper could reach a circulation of ,000 in a year If It was Issued before5 o'clock. At resent it is rather difficult to decide which is the of them all, but I know that ail newspaper men prefer the Conumercial Advertiser. This 18 on account of its editorials, however, as the gen- ‘al make-up of the paper is far froin attractivi ne “Editorial Notes” column {s particularly rea le. Tdon't know whether Mr. Hugh J. Hastins des over it or not. The Mail and F. is exclusively sold on the elevated ains and has ‘newsmen running —con- intly tlirough the cars selling the paper. ‘The Press 1s not worth considering, and the Jou nat of Commerce 1s chietly known a3 an able co mercial daily. ‘The Covinercial Butietin, Bank , Wall Sorvet News and « host of lke y ng are of account only as financial Jour- als, The Post is under Carl Schurz, and is in- creasing In circulation. One other reinains—the Evening Telegram. It 13 an off-shoot from the Heratd. Iv ts printed on pink paper, like the Lon- don Globe, and 1s a marvel of enierprise. The Telegram Nas an immense circulation, simply be- cause it contains the news. It 13 editorially a Ut- tle odd. Tt asks in the leading editorial to-day, how a renegade Apache differs from an Apache on the war trail, and immediately speaks of renegade democrats ahd then presents the most extraor- dinary muddle imaginable. ‘THEATRICALS NEXT SEASON. There are to be several changes in Wallack’s company next season, Osmond Tearle and Gerald Eyre go—the one to star in England and on the con- tinent In Hamlet and other Shakspearian parts, and the other to play the leading part in Samuel Colville’s new company. Two English actors, Wiliam Herbert and Herbert Kelsey have been engaed to fill their places. Their fame has not traveled far ahead of them, apparently. Mr. Her- bert 13 said to have a fair position on the London stage. His greatest success was at the Vaudeville in “Our Bitterest Foe.” He has been assoctated with Charles Coghlan, and has something of his method. He has a handsome face and a good figure. “Mr, Kelsey fs still less known. He ts now playing the leading role in“The Lights o’ London.” Tester Wallack, who went out on a hunt for actors, and run these two down, 1s enthuslastic over both. ‘A new actress has also been engaged for this thea- ter. Her name is Miss Measar. She has a fran! open style, and a fresh, girlish face. Her hair 1s worn short. She 1s piquant, and rather pretty. In her dress she 13 somewhat inclined to esthet!- cism. She will probably take the place of Stella Boniface, wio has played juyentle parts at Wal- lack’s for ten years. THE YACHTING SEASO! A New Yorker is never so great as when he owns a yacht. ‘There are more Qubsin the waters that surround the city than anywhere else in the world. Of these the better class, the Seawanhaka, the Atlantic, the New York, the Jersey City, and other clubs have expensive craft, superb club houses, and sail races for bona fide prizes, But there are a dozen other clubs that are not so ad- mirable. They have been having their spring re- gattas, but in’ the old way. The pian of thess or- anizations 1s at once simple and profound. In ¢ first place they advertise the race. Then they one” all of their friends and enemles to buy tickets on the steamer for one or two dollars a piece. ‘The ward politictans have to shell out liberally as a usual thing, and the mayor is im- rtuned. With the money thus obtained they ire a steamer and sub-let the privilege of the bar with an interest in the profits. Then they buy a Jot of silver cups av s/ each and value them at $50 prizes. Thus do a number of our smaller yacht clubs keep up their reputation during the year. ‘The most amusing part of the whole thing 18 the a'rs of the yacht owners, all of whom pose as heavy swells. ‘THE BIG DINNER of the Free Trade club at Delmonico’s brought the emtnent financiers who control the commercial destinies of the country together. They hada very successful celebration and went home rather less dignified than when they assembled, but feel- ‘ng excessively happy. At the tall end of the feast the “monopolizers” made: pee eepaainee) hes: and suddenly loomed out as candid men who were never concerned in dusky measures, ‘The follow- ing verses, I believe, have never been pub- Ushed. ‘They were sung with great gusto after a speech on “The Dislocated Protectionist,” by an excessively candid gentleman, who declared that there was no place like *Pennsyrvillania.” L ‘Way down upon the Susquehanna,” ‘Where Irestde, ‘There only live thé great Arcana, ‘There all the faithful bide.

Miss Olcott was put down in a bill for a theatrical entertainment to be given for the benefit of the South Baptist. church, of which the Rey. Mr. Thompson is pastor. Her papa, Dr. Olcott, indignantly refused to let her play, on the ground that she should not appear with an Amateur in a church affair. This invita- ton, he sald, in face of the fact that his daughter had been on the stage six nights, was insulting, as she wasa professional. The offence was deepened by the extreme discourtesy of annouhcing on the Dill that the young tragedienne had offere1 to assist af the entertainment. Young Mr. Olcott, the new star's brother, a spruce youngster and fy enough for a New Yorker, hastened to defend his sister from the Rev. Mr. Thompson. He sald hia sister Was advised not to appear except _as a legitimate star, and made other remarks !n a similar strain. ‘The Rev. Mr. T. must feel squelehed. The Olcott family is joyful.

Mr. Buss just before the close of the session of the Criminal Court engaged in the star route trial yesterday summed up the various instances of fraud he had mentioned in one grand total. In thirty months, he sald some four hundred routes, operated by thirteen favored contractors, were inereased from $762,855 to $2,723,461 per annum. On other routes, originally let for $41,135, Brady's fostering care has caused to be expended in three years and three quarters, after all fines and de- Guetions, the sum oF $890,821.01. It might be sald that this money had all been expended for the beneftt of the service, but he would show that it had not, and he again’ instanced routes where the sub-contractor recelyed only a small portion of the contraet figure; the contractor remaining in Wasi: ington and receiving the lion’s share. When de- ductions were made it was always from the sub- contractor's portion. The parties had be- come careless and left s behind them, which they never would have done if they had ex: pected that an investigation would follo’ the month of July, 1879, Brady had increa cost of the star service west of the Mississippi more than $1,700,000. ‘The appropriation ren out, and Brady had secured a defclency appropriation in the Same year—this, too, trom a democratic economica’ Congress. “Perhaps,” safd Mr. Bilss, “we will lift the curtain just a little, and show how this appropriation was obtained.” There was some Kind of a Congressional investigation and Brady imagined that as a result he had secured amnesty and pardon, but. the courts thought otherwise. One year’ ot Brady's agement cost $7,264,832; the contracts to be awarted July sist of this year will only cost $4,168,755. The cost per milé had been reduced from '$16.90 to $8.62 (Iittle more than one-halt!) under Elmer’s management, and this because there are now no favored contractors. Mr. Wilson objected to allowing Mr. Bliss to make com- Parisons between contracts let four years ago and those let now, which have not been, and m: not be performed.

The past week has been very favorable for boat- ing interests, and every evening shells and pleas- ure boats have left the club boat-houses for short trips up and down the beautiful Potomac. The Potomac and Columbia boat-houses seem to have the most life about them. The Analostans need something to stir them from their lethargy. Sel- dom anything except a pair-oared shell, in the way of Tacing boats, leaves thelr house. ‘The Co- lumblas are, without doubt, the most wide-awake c’ub on the river. ‘They have already held several pleasant dances at thelr cosy boat-house. Thurs- day evening they gave a most delightful excursion to Marshall Hall on the steamer W. W. Corcoran. ‘There were about three hundred passengers, and all had a good time. The excursion committee consisted of Messrs. Towers, Stinemetz, and Chew, and they met with great success in their efforts to make everything pass off well. The Columbias every evening have out several four-oared crews, and they are evidently trying a nuinber of men from whom to select a representa- tive four, For the past three or four evenings they have been practicing a four consisting of Henderson bow, Woodward 2, Kintner 3 and Nuty stroke. This makes a very’ strong crew, and If sept to Fredericksburg, Va., on the 4th of ’ July, they will doubtless make thelr competitors pull hard, whoever they may be. Another crew poken of as the club’s four is Henderson bow, Nute 2, Kintner 3 and Brace stroke. ‘The Potomacs have allowed all the recent fine rowing weather to pass by without getting a heavy four started. They intend on Monday, however, to pull together four men and put them ina boat! ‘They have the men. AN that Is wanting Is a little more energy on the part of those who have the matter in charge. Coughlin, Morgan, Balley, and Wheeler would probably make as strong a crew as they could select, but they have not pulled to- gether yet. The Potomac junior crew (light weight), which will row against the Rappahan- nocks at the Fredericksburg regatta, are rowing very nicely now, and by the time the regatta takes place they willbe in very good shape. In this crew Hollister will pull stroxe and Harrison bow, with Whittington and another good man in the waist It 1s regretted that the prospects of a race be- tween the Potomacs and the Columbias during this month are gradually growing less. ‘The Poto- macs should at least make a strong effort to send a club four to the Fredericksburg regatta. If they fall in doing so, it will reflect not a little upon their reputation as a rowing club. It {3 learned that the Ariels, Undines and L’Hirondelles, all of Baltimore, will have crews at this regatta. McKenney, of the Potomacs, at present champion of the river, will row in the single scull race, and. will doubtiéss row well. He isin good condition and practices regularly. Morgan, of the Potomacs, 1s out in his single every day, and it is thought that he !s anxious to pull against McKenny at Fredericksburg. He 1s heeded very much in the four, and if he would forego the single scull race at ’Fredericksburg in order to row in the crew, the Potomacs would doubtless offer a handsome prize fora race be- tween him and McKenny after the regatta.
