BREEZES FROM THE SEA ——_-+———_—. Long Branch in a Crowded Plethoric Condition. Immense Eush of Gasping Guests from the Empire City. THE SATURDAY HOPS. Brilliant Scenes in Hotel Parlors. A Perspiring Professor Gets Up a “German.” SUNDAY SANCTITY. President Grant Seeking Spiritual Consola- tion ina Charity Sermon. Lone Brancu, August 3, 1873, 4 tidal wave of visitors rolled over Long Branch yesterday, Olling up all the hotels with regular old- time crowds, bringing cots and cubby holes into ‘ase for the first time during the present season, and making gind the hearts of the landlords. Long before the last trains arrived from Philadelphia and New York the response to applications tor rooms at the principal houses was “all full.” To- wards evening unhappy pedestrians were to be seen trudging along the muddy road, satchel in hand, searching fer a haven of rest, while leas economical parties drove reund from one hotel to another, vainly seeking such accommodation as they reguired. ’Bus proprictors, hack drivers, por- ters and expressmen were in high spirits and a pro- fuse perspiration, It was their first full harvest for 1873, One unhappy family man had forwarded his baggage to the West End Hotel. “No room,’ From the West End he had it transferred to the Ocean House. “No room.” From the Ocean House he had it moved back again to Rowland’s, “No room.” Thence he repaired to the United States, “No room.” He tried the Mansion House next, ‘and again “‘no room.””? When I saw him he was in violent altercation with an express man on the subject of charges. ‘I paid $3 for having my bag- gage taken to the West End,” said the bewildered wanderer, “and this is tho third time I have had 0 pay since.” “Well,” was the not unreasonable reply, “you can’texpect us to be a toting your boxes around fr nothing, can you ?” As the question appeared to be unanswerable, the victim settied the 1ourth express charge, and 0 doubt was called upon for a fifth contribution to the profits of the Long Branch Baggage Delivery Company when he reached the East End Hotel, whose new and spacious rooms have proved of great convenience last night and to-day, accom- modating some four or five hundred visitors with comfortable quarters. 4 REGULAR JAM AT THE HOTELS, When the bustle and confusion of the last ar- Tivals had passed away and the complaints of grumblers who were dissatisfied with the quarters allotted to them and of less fortunate individuals who could obtain no ac- commodation at ali had ceased, it was found that all the hotels were filled to their utmost capacity. There wasarush to the dining room, as a matter of course, for a great number of the visitors to Long Branch come to eat as well as to bathe and to dance, and reserved seats received but little consideration. The authority of those guardians of the interests of the guests who under- stand the value o: a fee to the help—the head waiters—was disregarded, and the newly arrived crowds seized upon the first chairs that offerea, turned or not turned. The cooks, with a presentl- ment of approaching famine, first covered the bot- tom of the plates with an apology for soup, and served up fish and meat with an ingenuity of economy that would have excited the envy of s New York boarding house keeper, Many were the black looks bestowed apon the waiters by those permanent guests who tlaimed a preemption right to favorite locations, and who found themselves compelied to thread the abyrinths of tables in search of a seat, After din- ger chairs and space upon the balconies and stoops were almost as scarce, and nearly as much oveted as seats in the dining rooms, and, in an- ticipation of the “hops,” the initiated crowded found the parlor windows and doors, biocking them up with solid masses of spectators, and gen- trously excluding from the rooms the little air that was astir outside. Fat dowagers, pert misses and languid Jadies, who must always have one chair for themselves, another for their shawls and wrappers and two more for their feet, swelled the balcony circles to undue propor- tions, to the exclusion and annoyance of their neighbors, who desired seats near the windows. Their efforts to make themselves diragreeable were only seconded by the regular Saturday night visitor of the male gender, who persists in pushing past you with three or four chairs in his hands for the accommodation of ladies who would probably be- stow very little attention upon him during the week, while he is measuring of musin and ribbon behind his employer’s counter. A large number, Bod the most sensible portion of the guests, de- serted the hotels #8 soon as possible and hastened to the bluff or the sands, to enjoy the sea breeze, and blow off the heat of the city. The night was fine, after the customary storm, and under a bright moon the bluf® thronged with pedestrians, the beach Shickly studded with lounges and the big, glisten- mg waves polling iu with their ceasiess roar, wrmed & very interesting picture, . THE SATURDAY HOPS, In order to amuse and gratify thé numerous Sat- | Braay visitors, the hotel keepers selected Saturday $vening for their full dress hops, and great efforts € inade to secure a large and brilliant assemblage y the distribution of invitations among the cot- tage residents and others not guests of the house. The Long Branch world was prepared for some- bhing unusually grand at tue Ocean Hotel last night, Dn the dining room cartes, for a week past, and the invitations, it had been announced that the !1 dress hop at the Ocean on Saturday evening would be “opened with a ‘German,’ under the special «hen lence and direction of Professor Route- ge,” Who would himself take part in the dance, xpectation, like the Professor in his pirouettcs, Was on tiptoe. Something as graceful as the Pro! fessor’s manners and as brilliant as the Professor's tapers was fondly anticipated. The excitement in- ES when the rumor spread that the Professor jad called a private rehearsal of the “German” at eleven o’clock on Saturday morning. it is not to be wondered at, under these circumstances, that the Ovean parlors were crowded soon after dinner and that the expectant crowds gathered at an early hour round the doors ana windows, biockin 2 balconies and patting a stop to promenud. ‘a THE DANCERS IN THE “‘GERMAN." When the anxiously looked-for hour arrived the Projessor appeared on the scene, the musicians took their the upper haif of the parlor was outsiders and half-moon chairs were laced on the outside of the reserved space, with toeir backs to the spectators.

But the Professor was there in all the glories of lack broad white cravat, pomatum and pumps, to say nothing of a pair of new white kids, @ size too large.

It is scarcely necessary to say that the exhibitien was @ burlesque upon the graceful and gorgeous “Ger- man” when properly danced and set off by hand- some costumes and graceful manners. There were, of course, sume dancers at the Ocean hop, who knew what ey were ut to & ma- jority the “German” was all Greek. Ium sorry to ave to make the statement, but the Professor was in a perspiration! Rushing every moment trom his partner to set some erratic couple straight; thig lady and to Lege wild to hat pentieman ae his own ; wi partner and now ‘whispering instructions to some other person’s, it was probably im) uble that he should have kept cool; the picture of a per- spiring professor—of a professor who is compelled to mop up the streams Sowing down his cheeks, and whose gioves begin to look as if the fingers and palms nad been dipped in grease—is de- cidedly an unattractive one in a “German” and an unpleasant one for nis partner in a waltz. Still the Professor persevered, and his handsome coun- tenance, tall, form and stylish manners gave tone an ‘spirit to the “German” to the clone, o Tegret Was ielt when the show was over ani the less pretentious dancing commenced. 4 VISIT TO THE HOPS ALONG THY BEACH, A Visit'to. the hops al the beach showed & jovial dance at the Kast End, a comfortable tamily the Metropolitan, a crowd at the Ocean, & ree-and-easy assemblage at the jon, a nice rty at the United States, a select company at jowland’s and a handsome affair, a8 usual, at the fashtonable West End. There the dresses were in better taste and more elegant than elsewhere. The fashion adopted by the cottage visitors, of wear- jaunty, becoming hat as a distinc tion, gives a pleasing varicty pearance of the ballrcom, The daug' ex-Collector of the Port of New York, wno was dressed in bright red silk. with two pliated founces, white grenadine overskirt and jong, broad sash to match the dress, wore, in addition, one of these hats, made of white tip, trimmed ‘with a white feather and black velvet bow, and looked charm- ingly, the whoie costume well becoming her fair complexion and bright golden hair, I have not time.or space to notice other dre but I may say in general that Cluny lace overskirts, made with black velvet, are mach worn and look well, and AT} es prevalence of heavy moires and silks and of back combs is noticeable. PRESIDENT GRANT AND HIS FAMILY. une of the members of President Grant's family were at the hop, but little Jesse Grant as usual paid a yisit to the room, and seemed to en- joy the fun of the dancing and waltzing. Neither the President nor his family have been much in society since the death of old Mr. Grant, and now the illness of Mr. Dent confines them yet more to their own immediate circle. This morning the President and little Jesse, who is about thirteen pei of age, attended church at the Centenary lethodist church, in the village of Long Branch. The President was late at service, driving pte @ high phaeton witb a pairof spanking bays, about a quarter before eleven o’clock, and only relinquishing the stump of the alter-breakfast cigar which he was enjoying at the door of the chureb, THE PRESIDENT AT BIS DEVOTIONS, When the President entered the church and as. cended the stairs the doors of the middie aisle were closed, as is customary during the prayer, which was then being delivered by Bishop Simp son, The President, who was dressed m black, wearing only plain gold studs and more watch chain, stool json outside ith bis hands on his Pe, is white hat heid behind him and his face to the wa'l. The words ol the prayer reached those outside, and as the minister besought a divine bleasing upon our Republic and prayed with unusual fervor for the pernctieres of our republican institutions as founded by our Jathera, in order that they might continue to be a beacon and a hope to other na- tions of the earth and to all the struggling peopie of the world, the President no doubt regretted that he was not present to join in the fervent responses. After the prayer the doors were thrown open, and President Grant en- tered the church with young Jesse, the toes of whose boots bore evidence of his pagsion for run- ning and kicking in the sand. Is it not singular that in all the relations of life and in all situations General Grant seems to preserve that immovabie calmness and apparent indifference for which he is noted’ Methodism excites fervor in nearly all its followers, but the President sits like a figure, With his tron countenance unchanged and his firm lips compressed, amidst burning Words of devotion, as he does in a council of war, a cablnet meeting or a litical conversation. He 1s a good listener, but he takes no part in the earnest responses and ejaculations which mark the Methodist service, THE SERMON AT THE METHODIST CHURCH. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Kynett, fecretary of the Methodist Church Extension So- ciety, from the text irom the prophesies of Isiah— “The increase of His ki liom and peace shall know no end.’? Probably with some thought of enlisting the sympathy of the most distinguished member of his congregation, Dr. Kynett commenced his discourse by recalling tie fact that in the first year of the rebellion, on the anniversary of the national Independence, he had been called upon to address a congregation on the prospects of the struggle. He had recalied the comparative numbers and strength of the North and South; thelr comparative wealth and resources; the character of the two peoples—if they coula be called two peoples —and the principles and objects ofboth sides in the war. The comparison bad given him complete and undying confidence in the eventful success of the Union arms, and this con- fidemce he had never lost in the darkest hours of the rebellion. No person can compare the com- Ee ane strength of the kingdom of Christ. He drew @ comparison between the strength of Christ’s kingdom and of the powers of evil com- bined agamst it, and believed that no person would doubt of the eventual triumph of Chris- tianity over all its enemies. He sketched rapidly the birth and life of Christ, who came after four thousand years ol watching and waiting; of the humbleness of his earthly origin, of the uninfu- ential position of his disciples, and then showed the grand results that had followed the Saviour’s death and resurrection, THE GROWTH OF CHRISTIANITY. Atthe end of the first century of Christianity there were 500,000 Christians in the worid; at the end of the fifth century there were 15,000,000; at the end of the fifteenth veges Wn were 100,000,000; at the end of the eighteenth century there were 200,000,000, and, at the present time, when the nineteenth century is not three-fourths expired, from the most reliable sources it is ascer- tained that there are 350,000,000 Christians in the world. We often say that time is as nothing to God, amd that with him a thousand fs is as one day; but it is also true that, wlule e takes no heed of time, he can accomplish, if it be his will, in a single day the work of a thousand years. The preacher argued that while organized society, such as the family circle, the circle of im- mediate friends and the greater circle of organized States and cee ‘Wus at first opposed to change, yet the very or ization belps change and reform after the first step has been made. In this manner Christianity is now making rapid progress in countries where its headway bas hitherto be low. In India, na@ and Japan the Ys nepis were pow aiding the ee abe ice and, at the rate we have eretofore been increasing, it would not take more than another century or two to Hind pboue ie millennium, and to Christianize all thé world, En- larging upon this theme, he urged the umportance of earnest and vigorous action now in aiding the spread of Christian doctrine, and declared that a ee revival was at present going on, and the ‘hurch was showing wonderfol and unusual ac- tivity, As the sermon was preached in aid of the Methodist Church Extension Society, the preacher explained and commented on the character of the society's work, and the success that has crowned their efforts, MILITARY: AND CELESTIAL HOSTS. He closed by giving a description of the return of the Union army to Washington after the final vietory over the revellion, “I stood on Pennsyl- vania avenue,’ said the preacher, “and watched the brave troops as they marched past by the hun- dreds and the thousands. Some of the regiments carried colors that were bright and new, and they received such a hearty welcome as one and ail deserved irom the immense concourse of people gathered to receive them, But when a regiment Inarched by with colors torn into ahredsin the fierce battles through which they had passed, and with the flagstaffs shattered and scarred, then there arose from the multitude such # shout as no other sight could cull forth,” He likened the return of the Union troops to the marshaling of the Christian hosts in heaven, was taken up and @ good “ainout t @ good amount appeared to realized.

A Commencement in the Location of the Eastern Boulevard—Timely Reflections on tho Route—Tho “Ebenezer” Element Still ‘Harping on My Daughter” —Estab- lishment of a Commercial Ave- nue—Grand Sale of Yonkers Property—The Features of This Suburban City— ~ Sales to Come Off. Preliminary to a decision on the, location of the Eastern Boulevard, between Eighty-sixth and 136th streets, Commisgioner Van Nort, to whom the late Legislature committed the power of fixing the route, was interviewed on the subject by a sort of “struck jury” of “notables,” consisting principally of interested residents of Harlem and Yorkville, who examined the maps of the designated section that had been prepared for such inspection and gave their opinions freely pro and con in respect to the ronte to be determined on, On Thursday following some of the same parties, with others, went over the ground in carriages, in com- pany with Commissioner Van Nort, in order to ob- tain the accurate information in sueha matter that can only be derived from personal examination. The work presents some difficulties, happily not ir- remediable, but rather embarrassing. Owing to THE LINB OF AVENUE A terminating, as laid down on the city map, at Ninety-third and at 101st streets, on account of the great depth of water there, it thus compels a divergence towards First avenue ofthe line of the Boulevard at those two points, at least from the line of avenue A, where the Legislatare has already fixed it below Eighty-sixth street and above 116th atroet, The difficulty appears to be to determine at what point the line of -avenue A shall be aban- doned southerly of its termination in the Harlem River, near Ninety-third street, and at what point that line shall be resumed above 101st street. As these two now disconnected sections of the Boule- vard must be connected in some way it is con- tended, on the one hand, that avenue A should be selected where practicable, as being the most direct connecting link, affording a fine river view and as presenting near the water front A WELL REGULATED COMMERCIAL AVENUE in lieu of the exterior street recently abolished by & piece of legislative legerdemain, for which cer- tain “Ebenezers” of Harlem are mainly respon- sible; and, on the other hand, it is contended that the line of First avenue; should be maintained for this part of the Bou- levard. The latter proposition is represented as based upon “economical” considerations, In other words, the Harlem “Ebenezers” and their congeries of the Fast Side Association, having put their heads together to saddle the tax-payers of the city with an oatlay of several millions of dol- lara for parks below ighty-sixth street, already procured through lobby influences in connection with the Yorkville section of the Boulevard, in order to remove from the river front at Yorkville certain Jager beer gardens which are now partic- ularly distasteful to certain wealthy members of the jt Side Association as coming “betwixt”’ oe as and their nobility, are now laboring to loca’ THE CONNECTING LINK OF THE BOULEVARD on @ line permanently dedicated and already in use for the maintenance of two extensive gas house establishments, with their appurtenances and the convenient gin shops that unhappily are accus- tomed to entrench themselves permanently in such a tenement house section, for the promotion of what they are pleased to designate as their ‘family trade,’ and thus, forsooth, on the score that it would be more “economical” to fillin First avenue than to fiilin the grand commercial ave- nue further east, through the business of which and others similar in character all such’ parks and boulevards must be paid for, and all the great gains of such wealthy men, as well as the means of livel:hood of countless numbers of the industrial ortion of the city, must be produced, the “Ebenezer” pack are in full cry for First avenue. bas ig a subject which will readily admit of agita- on, A GRAND SALE AT YONKERS, consisting of 200 lots on Fort Hill, is announced to wake place on to-morrow, by Jere.

The Cruise of the Atlantic Yacht Club. © The Fleet at Anchor Off the Laurelton House in Cold Spring Harbor. LAURELTON House, August 3, 1873, The Atlantic Yacht Club fleet rendezvoused yes- terday afternoon at Whitestone at one o'clock P. M., and then, on signal from Commodore Max- well, weighed anchor and sailed under orders for Cold Spring Harbor. There was a pleasant south- erly breeze, and when the starting gun was fired, at @ quarter to three o'clock, anchors were lifted, and, with booms to port, they started ata lively gait. The run up Was made in about two boursand ahalf, and the little schooner Agnes let go her anchor at half-past five o’clock P, M., followed shortly afterwards by the Triton and Peerless and the rest ofthe fleet. The squadron all anchored opposite the Laurelton House, in Cold Spring Harbor. The following yachts comprise the feet:— In the evening some of the members came on shore:and visited the hotel. The Laurelton House was built this Spring and opened to receive guests on the 1st of July. It is kept by Mr. J. B, Cozzen: @ brother of the pro rietors of the West Point an Palisade Mountain House. The hotel is built on a rising und in a clump of timber and about Ofty ards from the shore. It is newly furnished and a8 accommodations for about one hundred and fifty guests. At present the house fe full, and rooms were at a premium last evening, but the proprietor managed to faty everybody good accommodation, Mr. Cozzens is Resting up the reputation of the family, a8 in point of table the house is well and amply found, The surrounding country is pictur- esque, abounding in pleasant country drives, and the resident [ps ere enthusiastic in their praises of its many charms. This morning divine service was held on board the Sea Witch, and a number of tne guests of the hotel went out and had the pleasure of hearing a excellent sermon from the Rev. J. T. Duryea, of Brooklyn. The sermon was pleasant and suit- able to the occasion, and the hotel party returned on shore much pleased with their visit. There will be a regatta to-morrow for schooners and sloops for prizes offered by the residents of Cakes, Bay and Cold Spring. The course will proba- bly be around Katon’s Neck buoy and return, In the evening the yachtsmen will be entertained by Mr. Cozzens to a hop at the Laurelton House, and on Tuesday morning the fleet will weigh anchor for New Haven. The race to-morrow will probably be between the schooners Peerless, Triton and Agnes, and the sloops Orion, Nimbus, Nellie G., Al bert and Stella. ‘his evening the yachtsmen were visited by a number of the ladies from the hotel, and the fair sex appeared much interested in ex- amining the floating palaces where the sterner sex hold their bachelor partics, The Cruise of the Brookiyn Yacht Club. Newport, August 1, 1878, ‘The Brooklyn Yacht Club fleet disbanded last Monday in this port, andon the following day the yachts were scattered in all directions, cruising where their inclinations directed them. The race which was to have been sailed at Newport on Monday fell through, as the yaehtsmen appeared to have lost all desire to test the speed of their yachts, The schooner Clio and the sloops Commo- dore, Undine, Qui Vive and Maggie B. were proba- bly the only yachts that were at all anxious to sall for the prizes offered by the NagoMcers, On Mon- day morning the weather was thick and foggy, and a meeting was held on board the Fleur de Lis, with Vice Commodore Dickerson in the chair, in order to determine what waste be done. The schooners Madeleine, Clio, Fleur de Lis and Gypsy, and the sleops Commodore, Addie, Undine, Kate, Mary, Qui Vive, Maggie B. and Emma T. were repre- sented. Commodore Jacob Voorhis was unavoid- ably absent, as the death of a relative had called him back to New York. After obtaining the sense of the meeting, it was decided to TERMINATE THE CRUIBR and let each yacht go where they please, The cruise of the Brooklyn Yacht Clab this year has been @ very pleasant one, and the visits of the yachts to West Haven and Stonington were en- pecially enjoyed by the members of the club, Al though the racing qualities of the yachts were not often tested, the little cruises from port to port gave one a very fair idea of the speedy qualities of the different yachts. The sloop Commodore proved herself tobe a remarkably fast boat on all points of es but especially soin a ‘ht breeze of wind, with sheets lilted. The sloop Undine, showed considerable speed on several occasions, ‘and in the second class sloops the Maggie B., Gen- eral Tom Tonumb’s flyer, astonished every one when e beat the Kaiser and the Qui Vive in the race New London. The NEW SCHOONER CLIO made rather a miserable start on the first day of the cruise, and with a light fanning breeze did not show to advantage, anchoring in Huntington at the tail of the ficet. Those, however, that set her down for a tub, basing her merits on that per- formance, cianged their minds before the end of the cruise, and acknowledged that, with a fair breeze of wind and sheets lifted, she was @ hi boat to bea!. It is hardly fair to criticise her pe: formances on the wind, as her present suit of can- yas, which was furntshed by contract, 18 too light, and bags too much to stand on the wind. r bead sails want altering, as the jib is the only one that sets decently close hauled. She is certainly, however, & great improvement on what the builder turned over to the owners. The Fieur de Lis has astonished everybody this season, and, with seven clews more mainsail and six tons of lead out of her keel, sailed so well that some of the flyers had all they wanted to hold their own. ‘On poe afternoon the fog vegan to disperse as the sun slowly cat it up, and by one P. M. the most of the yachts were under weigh. The Commo- dore, Kate and Cho started for MARTHA’S VINRYARD, and the rest of the fleet steered a westerly course. Towards evening the yachts bound east found the fog very thick in the Vineyard Sound, and not ing to run any risks let go their anchors for t, and ear next morning made the best way to Holmes’ Hole. The Kate felt the Woods’ Hole, but was got off witheut dam- the Clio found herself anchored in Buz- zard’s Bay, about four miles to the northward and westward of Woods’ Hole, at daylight Tuesday morning.

The past few years have changed and magnified the few tents pitched in a grove of trees into one ot the pleasantest watering 8 on the eastern coast. in point or natural advantages it would be hard to find a spot more suitable for a Summer re- sort than the surroundings of Oak Biuffs, The beau- tifal ve of trees in the centre is now laid out in handsome avennes and streets, some of which are paved with asphalt; and the picturesque and Tustic cottages so thickly clustered together in this sheltered spot look most tempting to the wanderer seeking repose. It fs also apparent that the reat- dents of Martha’s Vineyard have more common sense than that usually found among the sojourn- ers in fashionable resorts, as they do not make themselves the slaves to dress, but appear in com- fortable and quiet attire, suitable to the climate and their surroundings. People do not go to Martha’s Vineyard. to lavish money; but they go to ass the dog days in comfort and derive some neficial resuits trom the invigorating sea air at a reasonable outlay.

A Deeper Insight of Her History—Her Sojourn at Attleboro Falls in 1867 as “Emma Chase”’—Her Escape from the Taunton Lunatic Asylum—Evi. dences of Kleptomania—A Strange Story. [From the Attleboro’ (Mass.) Chronicle, August 2.) When Kate Stoddard, alias Lizzie Lloyd King, alias Emma Chase, has finished the account of her experiences, which she is now writing in the New York Tombs, in the absence of other amusement with which to while away her leisure hours, she will probably include her sojourn at Attleboro Falls in 1867, There she was, certainly, from the first to the last of October, in 1867,and her aeportment there was in keeping with her acts elsewhere, which have been so thoroughly reported by the press. Our facts are obtained directly from H. N. Daggett, and are vouched for as correct in every detail. In the first of the month of October of the year mentioned a young lady, ragged, dirty and hag- gard, giving her name as Emma Chase, appeared at the Falls secking employment. Sire was told that Mr. Daggett employed a large number of girls at the braid bor it Aud was directed to Mr. Dag- gett’s residence. Jt happened at the time that no more girls were needed at the factory; but the young lady begged jor employment of some kind and asked for the position of servant in the house- hold. Mr. and Mrs. Daggett, more out of pity jor her destitute condition than anything else, de- cided to take her into the position she asked for. She was clothed properly and soon evinced a refine- ment in her manner that is not found among girls of ner position. A few days after she came to tne house she was leit with the care of the children for aday, and when Mr. Daggett and us wife re- turned at night they found her playing the piano and singing to the children. She suug in a sweet voice and played finely. Her history was sought, but she was very reticent, aud tor several days de- clined to give any account of herself. Finally she was persuaded, after more liberty had been al- lowed her and she became better acquainted, to tel her story, She gave no other name than Emma Chase. She came from Plymouth Cree she said, and then told substantiaily the story of her life ag it has been already widely pub- lished. She came direcly from the Taunton Luni tie Asylum. Her escape was made inthis way :— She had been there for about two months when she ‘Was taken out to ride with two old ladies. When tney were driving thrangh a piece of woods she dropped the window to the carriage door and jumped out; ran into the woods and wandered | about for two days and nights, sleeping under the trees, until she reached the Falls, She displayed unusual intelligence and taste for substantial reading. Her knowledge of the lan- guages was considerabie and she devoted all her spare time to Let the plano, reading, writing and studying. he learned the work of the household rapidly, though she knew nothing about it when she went there. The habit of answering advertisements Was practised while here, and the correspondence witha Brooklyn widower, proba- bly the same Goodrich whom she says she shot, is very well remembered by persons to whom she communicated the fact. But EVIDENCES OF INSANITY soon became Apparent. She acted strangely and became wakeful and restiess of nights; would leave her bed and come down te the kitchen and keep the others awake half the night singing, Mr. Daggett, becoming apprehensive that she might do some harm, wrote a letter of inquiry to Dr. AS. Choate, of ‘Taunton Asylum, about her. Dr. Choate replied that he could not recommend her as a sale or desirable person to have about one’s hous d advised him to get rid of her, She was accoral dismissed. Then she asked for work in the tory, and we find the following record of her work here in the time books:—Emma Chase, worked two weeks; received $1040. Com- menced October 14, left October 28, 1967, Then she began to show the bad and crazy side of her nature. She boarded with a number of other girls at Eliphalet Wilmarth’s, on the Wrentham road, aiter she entered the factory. There is a young lady now in the along of Messrs, Freeman & Co, who sat next to Kate Stoddard at the bench. This young lady says that Kate remarked to mer that she carried @ pistol sometimes and that she knew how to use one. Kate Stoddard was undoubtedly by habit a bad girl, but the numerous thefts she | committed are very likely, as those who lost by her all think, the result of KLEPTOMANIA, She stole the shawis and hats of two of the other girls, which she carried out of the factory hd gry about her person cut of sight, The girls told sir. Daggett of thelr loss, and when he asked them why they did not go to her and get their garments, they said they were atraia of the pistol she some- times carried and knew how to use. Mr. Jobn Cvoper had about forty yards of Scotch plaid taken from his store. Several other thefts occurred about the same time, and she was pointed to as the culprit. The keeper of the boarding house sent for Mr. Daggett to come and take her away, as she was acting wilder than usaal at the time, He went, and with another lady knocked at the door of her room. it was some time before they were admitted, and when Mr. Daggett told her, after all her denials, that she must give up the articles she bad taken or he would send an officer after her, without saying anything or making any other demonstrations she dropped down on her knees and buried her face in her hands on the ta- bie, In this attitude it could be seen that she had an unusual amount of clothing on, At the sug- gestion of Mr. Daggett that was with him removed @ part of tie girl's dress and unwound from her body and limbs the forty yards of Scotch plaid above mentioned. She gave up other articles that sne had stoien also. Mr. Daggett then gave her money and told her she must leave town, she did the next day, and she has. not been from till the Brookiyn murder took place. THE IDENTIFICATION OF STODDARD as Emma Chase or Lizzie King came about in this Wway:—When he was ot work here her facher got some clew of her Wesmeepas and wrote to his relative, Mr. ings B. Day, formerly ® member ‘of the present firin of Messrs Bliss & Dean, jowsners, of At. eboro, to know if she was here, and to inquire about her health. The circumstances of the cor- Tespondence are related by a daughter of the now deceased Mr. Day, and there be no possivie doupt of the truth of the identity of Lizzie Liosd King and Emme Chase as one and the same per- fon. Her character, we learn, is no better than we represented in our editorial columnsiast week. We gather this opinion from Mr. Daggett and from Accounts of her demeanor while one of the em- ioy¢g of the Gold sMgday Braid Company, stand No. 11and commenced — with a plentifal sapply of | THE WALWORTH MURDER. An Interview with Mrs, Walworth and Hes Son at the State Prison at Sing Sing, poencvaaeenny How Frank Walworth Bears the Imprisonment-~ What Mrs. Walworth Says About tha Re ported Application to Governor Dix for s Pardon—Her Theory of the Murder and of the Conduct of Her Late Husband—Her Opportunities for Kuowing His Charac- ter Before Marriage. A few Gays ago 4 reporter of the HERALD met im the reception room of the State Prison at Sing Sing Frank Walworth, recently sent there for life im- prisonment, for the murder of his father. The re- porter had accompanied Walworth from the Tombs in New York to the prison at Sing Sing, and been With him too in the transformation scene in the prison dressing roon: when the prisoner takes off the clothing of the citizen and puts on that of the convict. Walworth recognized the reporter as one whom he had seen before, rose from his seat to greet him, and both clasped hands, There was the usual commonplace introduction to a talk, the hcac of the weather, and then a gentle reference to.t!:cir former meeting. Tne reporter remarked upo:: the browner tint upon the countenance of Walworth and was proceeding to ask him: how he: liked his new experience, when Walworth broke in by saying that he was not allowed to answer any ques- tions, and gave @ rapid glance at a man who sat at the corner of the room, who wore the blue cloth and brass button suit that has recently become the official attire of prison officials. Sittingin the re- ception room by the side of Walworth was his mother—the lady in deep mourning who figured so prominently in the recent trial in NewYork, A. previous introduction by Walworth of the reporter to hfs mother had rendered the conversation with the lady easy, and the reporter turned to Mra, Walworth and said:— “Mra, Walworth, ifI am not allowed to talk to Frank, I may have the pleasure of asking you a question?” ! “Certainly,” replied Mrs. Walworth, smiling, and bending her head with that calm and serene quietude that those who saw her at the trial will never forget. The conversation thus began and continued. THE APPLICATION TO THE GOVERNOR, “Mrs. Walwortb, I see in one of the morning papers to-day @ paragraph that isso startling that I should have sought you out.in the village to have asked you about it, had I not met you at the prison.” A look of wonder and intense curiosity passed’ over the lady’s face, and she said:— “ What is it 7" “Tam sorry,” answered the reperter, “that I have not the newspaper with me, for I gaveis away in the cars, The paragraph states that you. have presented a petition, signed with more tham one hundred names of prominent citizens, to the Governor, asking for the pardon of Frank, and this statement is accompanted by the copy ofa letter trom the Governor to the District Attorney, askin, ies a particulars respecting the evidence and rial. * “This ia the first time I have heard it,” said’ Mrs. Walworth. ‘There is no truth in it what- ever. I have not presented any petition, or sought to obtain any names, or directly or indi- rectly endeavored to take steps in any way for the’ mitigation of Frank’s sentence,” “Tam not surprised to hear this, Mrs. Walworth, , for yesterday I heard this rumor in the city an saw your counsel, all of whom were quite ignorant of any such steps being taken, and one of whom said had he Known that there were any such steps sot of would certainly have discouraged them.’? “Why of course,” Mra, Walworth said, “this is no time to make such on appeal to the ciemency of the Executive; and anyone who does it can be no friend to us; even were it contemplated by me I should certainly not take action now.” THE RUMOR DENIED. He “Then I may deny this rumor, on your author- y, “Certainty; I should be glad tf you would do 80, I have no other desire than that the truth should be spoken.” J Mrs. Walworth rose to leave, and after an affec- tionate parting, left the room. Sne to the free, glorious sunshine of God’s earth; he to the “shoe. shop” and the companionship of thieves, The re- porter saw Mrs. Walworth to her carriage, and she #tated that she was returning to New York by the next train, if possible, and in the cars the two met agatn, and renewed the conversation begun at the prison, the substance of which is as fullows, and which will be found interesting, as giving Mrs. Walworth’s views of prison life, and her theory aa to the cause of the shooting by her son:— THE PRISON DISCIPLINE, “I thought Frank not looking quite so well as when I saw him last, Mrs. Walworth; the confine- ment is telling upon him, I suppose.” “Yes, it is telling upon him, and this has caused me very great anxiety. There are no opportuni- ties for exercise in the eerie Now, in the Tombs the prisoners had twohours in the afternoon for a promenade on the galleries, but here there is no chance ior exercise unless they are engaged im outdoor employment, and for this Frank. is not fitted. When he was at home, and after office hours be would walk to Saratoga Lake and back, quite a distance, besides exercising at the nasium, and now to be shut up without any exer- cise at all, comparatively, must tell upon him.” “The priseners are locked up in their cells for @ good many hours together, I suppose?” “Oh, yes; every day, from six at night to sixin the morning, and on Saturday night they are locked up at six and not let out again until six o’clock on Monday morning, with the exception of one hour and a half for service on Sunday,” “Does he complain much ef the monotony of the prison life ?”” “THE INSTINCTS OF A GENTLEMAN.” “No, he makes no complaints; he bears it very mantully, and has been all slong just as you saw him to-day, passing off all he has to bear lightly and with a smile, I saw that some of the papers said that he was likely by want of force of Character to degenerate and drift down to the level of the gen- eral run of convicts in the eae Nothing could be more untrue or more unilkely to occur, He has the instincts of a gentleman, at least, and he can- not, if he would, throw oi all the benefits tuat his bringing up have brought upon him. He could not sink to the coarse, low brutality mantfested by con- victs ( pchyfatca He is with them, is fe be with them, perhaps some of them, for his ilfe, and it would be imprudent for him to shew them what may possibly be his tale J of pity for them and his own personal feeling of superior social position to them. I am sure he will never sink to their Jevel. I Know him too well for that.” “Your devotion to him has been the admiration of your foes as well as your friends, and | mean by that those who would extenuate the circumstances ofthe crime and those who would intensify them and think that the law has dealt too lightly with Frank.” THE THEORY OF THE MURDER. ‘qf I did not know what Ido about Frank I could’ not act so. If I believed, for instance, that he janned, meditated and plotted this murder of hig father, of course { should feel and act very differ- ently; but I don’t think so. The world does not yet know the true circumstances of this case; does not know what we have had to suffer—the years of terror that we have been called upon to endare. Even I did not know what Frank had to endure, tor he read letters from Mansfield that I had nog read. Besides ali this mental suffering there was “e the physical suffering arising from epileptio ts 8. “Do you think that these fits will in any measure account for the shooting 1” vd “q think so, My theory is, that in the presence of lus father @ condition of mind and ly was) bronght about that made him utterly irresponsib! for anything that he did, He had no conception of, what he was doing. The circumstances of ghooting support that view. Why should he travel from Saratoga to New York, stay at a public hotel where hia every act could be traced? If he wante to shoot his father, why he had only to take the opportunity when he was on a visit to Saratog and there would have been far more abundan' opportunities for the concealment of the crime.” MANSFIELD WALWORTH’S DISSIPATION, “Do you think that Mansfield Walworth’s con- duct in writing those horrible letters and in the persecution of you and your family was caused by, insanity, or dissipation and debauchery ?’’ “at one time I thought it was the result of dis- sipation, and that these times when he broke ous in the dreadiul manner, of which the public hava_ only had @ glimpse, was the result of that dis- sipation. But years agol have had reason ta: change that conviction, If the conduct bad always foliowed the dissipation 1 should think so, but it did not, it was intermittent. I think it was con- stitutional; he had a chronic fretfulness anda kind. of demoniac pleasure in indicting cruelty.” BEFORE AND AFTSR MARRIAGE, “I have-heard tt said tuat you had more than, the asual opportunities given to young ladies ta know the character of their hugbands ?” “Yes, [have heard that also long ago and many times, Bat that was not so. Bejore our marriage 1 was travelling a great deal. I saw very little of him, comparatively. Besides, this characteristio Bion likely then to assume the form of passionate evotion,” Mrs, Walworth then entered into matters of per- sonal history, og leasant v0 heat, bat scarcely significant enou 0 print, and the tediuis of thi eer wan pleasantly whiled away Unt the: J ‘alg arrived tty ral depot,
