Anthony—A So- clety Paper—Public Menders—Pest Breeding Ponds, Etc. Special Correspondence of Taz Evenre Star. New York, March 2 Great excitement exists in social circles over the coming fancy dress ball of Mrs W. H. Van- derbiit. Dinner parties, luncheons, musicales, theater parties and sewing circles stnk into in- significance as compared with this great event, and there ts a constant flood of inquiries as to the character of the costumes to be worn and who will wear them. The papers selze voractously upon every detail that can be had, and publish it with @ great flourish of trumpets. AH the details so far, however, are notably inaccurate. The reporters have been going around to different society people and begging them for in- formation as to the costumes. ‘Society people, to get rid of the reporters, have lied with the utmost yolubility. Hence, we see It gravely asserted by a Prominent morning journal Mr. Peter Marie ‘will appear as an Aye pian gO, probably Juptier. Any! ir. Marie will at once see ntleman gel low stature, entirely bald, with x» nose that looks heavenward, legs that are almost, Lage 9 and that portion of his anutomy which ites under Is walstcoat is uncommonly well developed. If Mr. Marie appears as Jupiter they will turn out the lights and adjourn until the ladies have time to recover, Again, we hear that Lady Mandeville will go in a costume that rey tS , Sum mer, Autumn and Winter. It strikes me that this is going a little too far. It would be well enough for the good-natured and affable Lady Mandeville to appear as one, two or even three seasons, but when it comes to the whole year itseems tome it 1s monopolizing some of the prerogatives Of her untitled sisters, Mr. Willlam H. Vander- Dilt, {t fs sald, will go asa Knight of the Middle Ages. This knocks me out. When William H. V. and Peter Marte meet and shake hands tt will be a great and glorious sight. Mr. Vanderbilt has not any legs to speak of, but he ts well developed about the belt, and has a pair of luxuriant kers that reach well towards his shoul- ders. When he is girt in armor, has a helmet on hiis head with the visor down and two huge tufts of side whiskers sticking out on each side, he will be at once a beautiful and instructive spectacle. Mr. Arthur Leary, a gentleman who has danced in pening quadrilies of charity balls for the last. ty-six years, will appear as Douglas, accord- ing to the papers, and Mrs. Paran Stevens, a well- known society lady, Is to put on a rich and sen- subus eastern costume as Rachel—at least so the Papers tell us. What a ball ft will be if all the i) ports are to be belteved. HOW MR. VANDERBILT APPEARS- Tsaw William H. Vanderbilt at the performance of the Boston Ideal Overa company, at the Fitth- avenue Theater last Tuesday, and I was surprised at his general friskiness and good nature, - For a man who has been reported very ill for two | months, whose physician has been dogged night and day by newspaper men, and who has been accused of dying of every disease that human flesh ts hetr to, Mr. Vanderbilt. presents a rémark- ably robust and healthy exterior. He occupied a box with some friends, and roared loudly at every joke in “The Musketeers.” He was not In eve- ining dress, as all his associates were, and indeed As most of the gentlemen of the theater, but wore acommon cutiuway coat, and his hat, which had a heavy weed, looked somewhat rusty. I was surprised to see how few people recognized him. Jie sat in full view of the whole house, and not more than twenty people in the audience of two thousand knew who he was. The contortionists and carricaturists have bulit up a sort or grotesque wrtralt of William Vanderbilt that passes as ife Uke and, true, but in reality it does not resemble ‘him at all. Ha 1s pictured as a huge, round-shouldered man, with a Wide, thick-lipped and brutal mouth, little eyes, {imost bald head, and long corkscrew side, whis- kers, In point of fact, he fs not half a bad-look- Ing many as men go. While not a professional beauty, ‘he 1s still good enough looking to be termed attractive by nine men outof ten. He looks prosperous and happy, his whiskers are well trimmed, and he fs said to be untformly courteous ee But he is not dead yet, by a large ma- jority. THE BROOKLYN RAGLE. © Great talk has been occastoned in journalistic eles concerning the changes in the Brooklyn me. The Eagle 13 the largest evening paper in the state, and fts influence In the democratic party \senormous. The editor, the Honorable Thomas Kiasella, who fs an ex-member of Congress and a mminent politiclan, disagreed some time ago vith the owners of the Eagle in reference to its political management. Mr. Kinsella 1s a | democrat of the Jefferson type, a Ifberal- | minded, aggressive man in every way, Who h: 4 genuine Welcome tor every new measure that | ds itself to his judgment. He is not Lound by political traditions or affiliations. He | inphatlcally approves of the present mayor of Brooklyn, Seth Low, whois a republican, and the | owners Of the Eagle—at least the mijority of them—wished that paper to endorse a ring can date at the last election In place of Mr. Low, | This Mr. Ktnsella refused to do. ‘They coaxed and bullied him in vain. He insisted upon his support of Mayor Lov that young repn! | i of Brooklyn the most efficient and istration that it had known for ir. Kinsella refused emphatically | to support ony otner candidate than Mayor Low, | and while he still clung to the democratic party | insisted that_a uid pervade the course of the Eagle. ‘Then the owner: he ge tusisted that the chief should do ld, they ad the cLief calmly left the paper and went \d bought the opposition paper in Brooklyn | ithe Union-Argus, which has always been | arepublican journal With Mr. Kinsella went the | nulre staff of the Eagle, and the owners of | in that paper were so badly frightened that they made overtures to him the satne day to re- | turn. The Eagle 1s a very radical paper and well | Worth possessing, since it pays elghteen per cent | ‘on the capital stock of one miilion dollars, and its influence, as I have said, 1s enormous. At the time | of his withdrawal Mr. Kinsella owned only one | share of the paper; he returned on condition that he shoutd have eleven shares and his salary,which Was ten thousand a year, doubled. He has won a triumphant victory over the owners of the paper, and can now control the Eagle thoroughly. He | still keeps a firm grip on the Union-Argus, how. ever, which he bought for sixty thousand dollars and he is thus the most influential man in the pol- ities of the city across the river. He isa fne- looking man, about fifty years of age, with ant, gental manners, a ready Irish wit, and best of friends to the s fs the Kagle rv It has grown with its been identified with {ts _ prosperity. i 18 a great satisfaction tonewspaper men generally here to see a great journalist like Mr. Kinsella the head of an influential paper, and able to maintain the dignity of his profession’ against the moneyed | interests of the paper. The fear of seeing Mr. Kin- sella at the head of a rival paper in Brooklyn was the cause of the backdown of the owner; of the Eagle. Rather than lose s0 much as his going meant for them they swallowed their race, aban- doned their political intentions, and secured their pecuniary safety by surrendering. ABOUT MISS ANTHONY. Alittle story is golng around about Susan B. Anthony, but it has appeared in such a mangled and incomplete form that the truth may not go amiss, Sbe did not say she was going abroad be- cause she had not any children or because she thought she would stand a better chance of having them on the other side, or because husbands were cheaper across the water, but what she did say to a lady friend just before she boarded the steamer, was this: “SI feel lonely here. Everybody else who has been identified with the move- ment for the advancement of women seems to have | ceased to live for the cause and is living for hor- | self. I am probably the only one of ti women who are striving for the emancipation Of their sex who has unsurrounded by | home duties and home cares, Elizabeth Cady Stanton has seven children; Antonette Brown, Blackwell is the mother of five girls; Lucretia Mott has six children; Lillie Devereux Blake has two; Mrs, Olympia Brown, two; Martha ©. Wright, five: Belva A. Lockwood, two, and even Stone bas one. ‘They are all surrounded by home comforts and more or less moved by home inter- ests. Iamalialone, I had no place, and I am going abroad. hope to accomplish: tog the other side or that things willbe much better when I return, ‘but because I feel I ought to have some change.” A SOCIETY PAPER, Not long ago a small gentleman with a sinuous smile projected himself upon New York from the deck of an English steamer, button-holed the first citizen he met and announced that he was about to start a society journal in New York which would sweep the deck. He went on announcing this fact to every man he met for weeks until the paper has Deen well advertised. Somehow 72, 9 do not see the nal, however. Agcording .

He reads Thursday mornings at 11 o’clock at the Turf Club Theater. The last two weeks he has read “Anthony and Gleopatra,” and “Midsummer Night’s Dream” on both occa- sions. The theater was filled to overflowing by lacies of the best social standing. The fact 1s, women find this an easy way to von culture. They go to a fashionable re: and while criticisin: each other’s toilets and sitting at ease in the well- warmed and comfortable hall listen to the beauties of Shakespeare and the older poets.

Fri- day morning was devoted to “Hiawatha.” Mr. Woolcott reads Fridays in New York and Tues- days in Philadelphia, and in each place he has hundreds of women who depend upon him for a correct know! of Mr. Longtellow’s works. Professor Locke Richardson, who eae, the most fashionable among elocuti here, has taken Chickering Hall, where he recites whole Plays from Shakespeare without any text.

Professor Charles Rope erts, junior, completes the list of these successful elocutionists ef the city. He is immensely suc- 1. When a, man starts out with the recom- tmendation of the teacher of both Beecher and Talmage, and ha’ taught that eloquent orator, Roscoe Conkling, how to. ak, he has a future before him that cannot be sneered at. Roberts charges five dollars an hour for instruc- tion, and his time is nearly all filled. He makes a Specialty of vocalization. It is his boast that he can speak for two days continuously with less muscular effort and fatigue than other men would feel from an hour’s vigorous talking. This is the harvest season for the elocutionists, and they are taking every advantage of it. PEST BREEDING PONDS. Agreat outcty is raised against the pest breed- ing ponds of Central Park. Itis now an assured fact that the artifictal lakes in this most charming of public parks are frultful and pernicious causes of disease. Tho lower lake, which les near 59th street and Fifth avenue, ts espectally dangerous. People in the vicinity make constant complaints, and are threatening all sorts of suits if the lake 15 Not filled up, but through the stupidity or avarice of the park lepartment they are obliged to run the risk of malaria daily. It is impossible, appar- ently, to force the park department into’ any ac- tion In the matter. The commissioners shrug their shoulders and say they are sorry and promise to do something in the future. But the future never comes, apparently, for they have been promising for years, The houses immediately surrounding, or at least within a few hundred feet of this lake, are among the most beautiful in the country. Itis at the upper end of Fifth avenue where all the equipages turn into the park, and property 1s as valuable there as at any other spot onthe island. The great Vanderbilts and Stevens’ mansions are within a short distance of the lake, and hundreds of children belonging to the most aristocratic and wealthy families are daily laid Qpen to the effect of the malarta which arises from the green scum on the top of the water. The word lake 1s purely complimentary, as the sheet of stagnant water ts nothing more than a large poe or pond. Itis probable that the matter will be carried to the legislature this season, and the authorities forced to drain and fill in the pond. paces a Aa oi THE CITY MARKETS. A SCARCITY OF “EXTRA” FLOUR—MORE ABOUT THE ADULTERATION OF LARD—THE WHOLESALE AND JOBBING QUOTATIONS. : Trade has been steady in the city markets th past week, and prices generally firm. No radical changes have taken place In the prices, and deal- ers are generally satisfied. In flour there 1s noted @ Scarcity of extra, but other brands are tn plen- uful supply, with a fair trade. Wheat is a trifle easier In price, with a steady market. Corn and | oats are scarce and market active. Offerings have been quite liberal in the hay line, espectally in clover hay, which Is much used at this season, and prices are generally lower. The butter trade re- mains about the same as last week.
