Bevies of little girls and troops of little boys, all with sparkling eyes, happy smiles and restless fect, were assembled yesterday afternoon in Lrving Hall at the rehearsal of the programme tor the third annual children’s carnival, which takes place this year on the 17th of February, at the Academy of Music. The galleries and side seats were thronged with ladies, the mothors and sisters of the little ones who wire to participate in the dancing, and, as the atternoon wore on, not a few gentlemen dropped in on their way up town to see the babies dance. When the children had all been evolved with more or less difficulty from their warm winter wrappings, ‘when rows of miniature “‘arctics” and mounds of in- fantile accoutrement were piled up around the room, Professor Carl Marwig clapped his hands, and in- stantly order was brought from juvenile chaos. Where had been a mass of little wriggling humanity, blue frocks and pink frocks, striped stocking* hori- zontal and striped stockings perpendicular, blonde pates and black ones, was un orderly row of the little ones divided off into their respective divisions as the subjects of the different mythical and historical per- sonages who will be represented at the carnival. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, ‘The programme arranged will open with a tableau representing # little fairy queen, who will sing a charming little song to her troop of subjects, who are discovered standing upon the seashore, across which little Prince Carnival will presently lead his troop. Then will follow five introductory tableaux, the first revealing the little Prince seated on the | American eagle paying homage to the Goddess of Liberty, represented by a sparkling little brunette; then there will arrive the proverbial old woman un the shoe in which she is popularly supposed to have taken up her abode, accompanied by a retinue of small children, represented by the ‘‘cunningest”’ little lots olds imaginable. ‘The third picture will , Melpoinene, Polyhym- , Urania, Thal: érato and ymp. be repre- sented by young girls just budding into womanhood, and will be even more charming than was the dance of the Three Graces at the last carnival. ‘apoli- tan gondola will arrive at this point, bringing a wed- ding party, attended by a troupe of fishermen and fishermaidens, and these will be not inappropriately succeeded by’ Bacchus seated on a wine cask, at- | tended by satyrs. Then come the fancy dances, all of which are new, and many of those arranged for the older children and more proficient dancers are very elaborate and difficult. A little blonde vivandiere danced out from the line and per- formed “La Lituanienne,” a graceful and pleasing dance, during the performance of which the child face was fairly ant with childish glee, not un- mixed with a little unchildiike vanity, which their public appearance seems to inspire in the minds of the youuysters. The ‘‘Pierrots and Pierettes,” who composed the suite of the Goddess of Liberty, danced through a quadrille, and the children of the old woman in the shoe danced a quaint “Witch Polka,” ‘TRAINING THE CHILDREN. It must not be supposed that all this is accom- plished at rehearsal as smoothly as it sounds. There were plenty of little feet to be taught the ste un- ruly little ones to be brought under subjection, restless ones to quiet, and infantile jealousies and bickerings, approaching rebellion, to quell. The di- rector exhibited a wonderful faculty for teaching the children intricate movements, selecting the different bands with an eye to their adaptability for the char- acters they assume and keeping them straight ¢ ally. Allof the littte boys who can’t keep still and who won't keep still are banded together as Chinamen and are to dunce a comic umbrella dance, in which the more they wriggle about and sprawl all over the floor the greater the absurdity of the effect intended. ‘Th dagio and Waltz” which is danced by the nine beautiful girls representing the Muses is equal to any ballet dancing in beauty and grace, with the added charm of youth onthe part of the dancers. The slow swaying movements of the lithe, young bodies, the groupings and posing are extremely arti tic. The grand finale is a dance Tuprosenting ‘a May poie dat called the “Wine Berry Waltz.”” All join in | this, which is danced around the pole, winding and unwinding long streamers of vine leaves and grapes, the suite of little Bacchus bearing golden wands tipped with purple grapes. ‘he proceeds of the sale of tickets for the carnival will be devoted this year and hereafter to the support of a home by the seaside to be established this sum- mer, probably at Bay Ridge, for sick und poor chil- dren. The home is mten to provide @ place also the children of people who can afford to pay # small price even for their board, and == who are therefore above availing themselves of the charity excursions and seaside homes already ‘established, can find ac- commodations within their reach as to price and the proper care of children. The little children of the rich will, therefore, dance for the bencfit of those less fortunate than themselves, and those who go to see them will experience an added pleasure to that of witnessing the pretty picture of healthy, happy chil- dren enjoying themselves to the top of their bent. MARTHA WASHINGTON BALL. — | A GBAND HISTORICAL TABLEAU VIVANT—THE PROPOSED SEASIDE SANITARIUM. The Martha Washington ball of St. John's Guild will be given on the evening of February 20, instead of on the 22d, as in the past. Tho latter date falls on Saturday and the change has been made as a con- cession to revellers, whose religious scruples prevent their dancing after midnight on that day. Friday being so unlucky the festivities could not be held ou rendered their condition so abominable, has affected | the snow which, a few days since, covered deeply the | fields and lanes in the country, the difficultics®of a | chase of several miles through thick and through | thin, and over fences and ditch nay at least be partly imagined by the inexperienced reader, Tho | scene chosen for the rendezvous was Mott Haven, at the corner of 138th street and Mott avenue, in the | Knickerbocker Hotel. The members of the club had | } promised to attend in large numbers, but when halt- past four, the Sppointed hour, arrived, there were not more than # dozen of them assembled. ‘THE sTaRT. Those who were elected to be hares were Messrs. Harry Smythe end W. J. K. Kendrick, and the hounds | were Messrs. G. H. Hilwig, George Dolde, William 0. | Merrill, F. W. Banham, L. A, Berte, W. Dubvis and | W.S. Vosburgh. Mr. G. H. Hilwig and Mr. George | Dolde acted ss whippers-in, Mr, William 0. | Merrill as muster of the hunt. At hulf-past four all retired to rooms in the hotel, and excl their ordinary garb for the hanged uniform of the club. The hares, as they have been before described, donned black shirts and trunk hose. The hounds were clothed in jackets of the intensest _ scarlet hue, tastened in frout with black buttons, and | in stockings of any color that fancy or circumstances had seemed to render most eligible. There was a | goodly display of stout and well turned legs, which seerned not a little to excite the admiration of the | geutier spectators who chanced to witness their lively lashing and dashing through the streets of Mott | ven. Both hares hounds wore on their heads biack caps with visors. THE HUE AND CRY. At twelve minutes before five the latter gave short | and sharp signals on their horns and then were off. | ‘The hares had gone cst of north up Mott avenu around a bend of which they had disappeared, they ran about three minutes before they began to drop the paper seent. As the hares and hounds sped merrily through the village of Melrose the street boys clustered at their heels aud assailed them with impu- dent and amusing salutes. The ery of “Stop thief!" ‘was raised, Snowballs which were hard enough to hurt and wet enough to adhere were pelted at them. ‘Two small dogs set upon the fellows who had usurped their mission and scized one of the “how by the of the leg, While they kept up a furious barking. At twenty-three minutes betor six the hares burst into the hotel with faces glowing, clothes dappled with mud and the sweat rolling down | their cheeks. One minute later Bannan and Nic rill of the hounds came swinging along aud were lowed two minutes afterward Berte. The rest the pack arrived by twos and threes at short inte vals, Ail were delighted with the hour's sport. THE BAUER-MULDOON MATCH. ‘The meeting between the principals in this match to name their judges and decide upon a reteree, which was postponed from Monday watil Saturday, took place yesterday, and out of two gentlemen named one proved acceptable to ali coneorned, and Mr. Kelly, the stakeholler, was requosted to urge his accept: ance, If this party fails to aceopt the referecship Mr. Kelly will appoint the referee om Saturday next, which he has the right todo under the articles of agreement. Both men are in superb condition, and show the etlect of their good preparatory work, and th weights when stripped for their battle will be about | 19 pounds, and there will hardly be five pounds be- | tween them, The long odds offered on Bauor are not so plenty now that Muldoon’s constant yood work and superb pram is being freely commented upon in sporting circles. t POULTRY SHOW.

PRESENTATION OF THE MARKSMEN'S BADGES TO THE SUCCESSFUL COMPETITORS—A LARGE AND FASHIONABLE ATTENDANCE. ‘Lhe annual presentation of marksmen's badges to | members of the Seventh regiment last night in the regimental armory, Tompkins Market, was largely attended. The regiment turned out in tull dress, with arms and accoutrements. A very numerous and fashionable attendance of invited | guests, the greater part of whom were ladies, oceu- pied rows of seats on the west and south sides of the great drillroom. Among those present were eral G, 'T. Beauregard, of Louisiana; General J. M. Varian, Third brigade, N.G.8.N.¥., and staff; General G, W. Wingate and several members of Governor Robin- son's staff and the majority of the Pirst division stat, After formation of the line the marksmen, nuim- bering 325, were called to the front. Of these 142 had earned the marksman's distinctive wark last sean | to her assistance ; | lengthy 9 had won it for two years in succession, 60 three ys anal ears, The General Inspector of sed the sue cxsful marksmen at ‘ lating thom und the regiment upon their improvement in the use of the rifle, pointed outto them the udyantages to be de- rived in a military sense from the efficiency attained and iucited thei to further ettorts in the same direc- tion. Colonel Clark also addressed the marksmen, expressing lis satisfaction with the proficiency attained by the corps in the use of firearms, hoped to see even greater things done in the future than had hitherto been attained, and complimented Goneral Wingate for the efforts he had put forth to muke rite practice what itis among the National Guardsmen of this State. On the termination of the ceremouy ot delivering their badges to the marksmen the members of the regimental team received each one v medal as a special recognition for their achievements betore the butts. ‘There was a hop after the duties of the evening were gone through with, THE MURDERED SAILOR. INQUEST INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING THE KILLING OF HENRY MADDEN—THE OLI- VER STRE SALOON KEEPER HELD FOR THE GRAND JURY. In the Coroners’ office yeterday an inquest was held in the cuse of the sailor, Henry Madden, who was killed in Oliver street on ‘Thursday night. ‘The githering in the room was as motley a one as has filled that chamber of mortuary investigation in many 4 day. Broken down sporting men of low degree; champions of the Oliver street seums; sca- men fresh from shipboard, and a score of the nonde- script denizens of the locality which yiclds so rich a harvest of wild carousals and bloody affrays were there. John Smith, the keeper of the ‘Sailors’ Re- turn,” sat on one side, with his wife. He was at once arepulsive and pitiable object. A brutal, besotted face, across which a ray of intelligence seldom flitted, looked from underneath a shaggy mass of hair and was all dabbled with the blood which had trickled from three ugly wounds in the head and stained the gurments beneath. ‘That was the picture presented by the man who sat there, the self-confessed murdorer of the sailor. There were other groups around that caught the eye. ‘The two Jack tars of the Omba who had engaged in the mélée were on hand; sturdy fellows, who looked upon the prisoner with no friendiy eye, and there, too, were the abandoned creatures who had been inmates of Smith's den, most of them bearing sad traces of an ill- spent lite, Where was one exception. Nellie Whitbeck, the girl about whom the trouble began, was little more than @ child, and from her face de- bauchery had not entirely effaced the freshness and comeliness of youth, She seemed a timid, retiring thing, and the tears which sometimes came im her eyes, seemingly to the great disapprobation of her hardened companions, Were explained by the entry ot her age on the blotier--fitteen. ‘THK STORY OF THE PRAY. When the case was culled the prisoner’s counsel stepped tu the front, und he certainly ad provided hiuwelf with a sutliciency. William H. Howe took Up 4 position in his front, While Mr. Hummel flanked him and Colonel Spencer moved down upon the Cor- ouer. They each indulged in a few prefatory re- marks calculated to tone down a jury's repugnance to tale of blood, and then the taxing of testimony was proceeded with. Delia Koes deposed that she saw a struggle between William Green and John Smith; she interfered and separated them; in the seufile she received a black eye at the hands of Green; she then went into the street and called tor the police. Nellie WhitLeck stated that on the night in ques tion sug was stupid from liquor, and way lying on the sofa when Smith came home; he drazged her up- | stairs and kicked her; she screamed for help, and two men, William Green aud Robert Keating, came blows were interchanged on the stwirs and her rescuers were thrown down, William Green, a sailor, had known deceased, Henry Madden, for two years: on the 23d inst. witness, Madden, Keating ana Roberts went into Smith’s saloon, where they remained drinking and carousing until about halt-pasteleven P. M.; at that hour Smith came into the barroom and began to kick and beat a girl who wus lying on # lounge; the witness inter- tered to protect the giri, and he too was assaulted by Smith; the latter hastened up stairs and soon de- scended, holding in his hai presented at withess; the tore Smith had time to di: coe wrenched from his yrasp; the prisoner then went up stairs and returned with a shotgun; he stood at a door leading trom the entry into the barroom and was in the act of levelling the firearm when his wife slammed the door in his fa-e; the prisoner next pro- ceeded to the yard and fired through a wiudow which | opened into the barroom; the shot took effect in the neck of deceased, killing him instantly; witness tried to leave the premises, but found thet the door was locked. SMITH’S DEFENCE. John Smith, the prisoner, testitied in his own de fence. He had returned home from a sleigh ride about eleven o'clock; he found the girl, Nellie Whit- beck, lying intoxicated on the sofa: he tried to in- duce her to yo up stairs; while doing so he was as- saulted by deceased and the other men who belonged to his party; witness went to his room and armed himself with a revolver; barroom the revolver was wrenched from his grasp by Green, who beat the wituess over the nead with the Weapon; witness was badly wounded and Was bleeding trom several cuts; he went to his room again ama descended with a double-barrelied shotgun; tearing that his liie was in danger he dis- charged onc barrel at the men in the barroom. ‘Yue jury retired, after the Coroner's charge, and Drought ina verdict that deceased came to his death from a gunshot wound in tue throat, and they added, “We are furthermore of opinion that the shooting was unjustifiable.” This addendum to the ordinary verdict of a cor- oucr's jury brought Mr. Howe to his feet, and he was beginning to define such a finding when the Coroner by an explanation led the jurors to withdraw the last portion of Mr. Howe and Colonel Spencer arguments showing why Smith should be admitted to bail in some sum, no matter how high. But Coroner Woltman decided that the case was too aggravated to adimit of such leniency, so the prisoner Was committed to the Tombs and the most important witnesses were seut to the House of Detention. “OOPTY GOOFT'S” CONDITION. In the New York Hospital “Gus” Phillips (“Oofty Gooft”) was lying yesterday with his wound bound up ands physician within call. He wore a calm, imperturbable look, and appeared to be suffering but little. His surgeon says that as yet no se Fious symptoms have developed themselves, and that if none intervene before tong his patient will be carried through a favorable convalescence. Phillips has said nothing about the affray since he was taken to the hospital. Once or twice he made some remarks about Mary Hoopley, such ay “She is a good woman if she would only let liquor alone,” but has in no other way reverted to his trouble with her. ‘The exact position of the bul- let has not beon determined as yet, and the doctor | thinks it well to let some time elapse before probing tor it. Mary Hoopley is still in the hospital. She is much excited, but her injuries are trifling. THE PALMER INQUIRY. The commissioners appointed by Judge Gilder- sleove to inquire into the sanity of William Palmer, Jr., who shot and killed Of tocnth precinct, at the Metropolitan Hotel, met yes- terday in the office of District Attorney Phelps, and examined several witnesses, including Officers Byrnes and Ryan, who were with the deceased when he was killed; Detective Kealy, of the Metropolitan Hotel, jored waiter named Vaughan, The two offi- the waiter were of the opinion that Palmer vt like & man who had been drinking very frvcly, and who was recovering from the effects of a long period of indulgence in stroug liquors. Detective Kealy stated chat he thought the actions of the accused while at the Metropolitan Hotel were | those of an insane man.

PRINCE How a Man Fared Who Fell Foul of the Austrian Government. pa Sa hk RESTORED AT LAST TO THIS ESTATES. ae A Romance of Love and Loyalty. , Aman with a remarkable history quit these shore@ Yesterday morning for Europe on board the City of Chester. His assumed name was Henry Meier, but his real and now reafirmed and declared title ia Prin ‘arl Johann Nudasky, member of an illustri- ous Austrian family, and he is now on his way back to take possession of his ancestral estates and in- herit an annual income of half a million dollars, He had the best cabin on board the City of Chester, and was accompanied by his wife and her nursemaid, carrying a bouncing blonde-haired baby eighteen months old, He arrived in this city from Portland, Oregon, on the 12th inst., and stopped while here at Schaefer's Hotel, No, 68 Bayard street, He revealed his real name and title to nobody except Mr. Schaefer and a few of his friends, and if he were a fraud, as some might suppose, he could have easily imposed upon y large number of wealthy Germans in this who would have given their eyes to entertain a xprig of Teutonic royalty. He kept entirely to him- self, and while here drove out in the mornings with his wife and baby to the Park, and in the evenings went to some place of amusement. To the HenaLp reporter he appeared to be aman of about forty-eight years of age, with somewhat of a downcast expression of countenance, as if his mind hai brooded long and deeply over the persecution he had been subjected to by the Austrian government. He stands about five feet ten inches, with an umple head of black hair slightly streaked with gray, a black mustache and imperial. His eyes has a dark and melancholy ex- pression, and his speech an undertone of sadness that lends iuterest to his strange, eventful tale. He speaks English with a slight foreign accent, but evi- dently with.a long and cultured acquaintance with the language. In_ his travelling collection of books he had “John Evelyn's Diary,” * “Burton's Auatomy of elancholy,” “ Chronique Universelle,” “Boswell’s Li son,” ‘Thackeray's Complete Works,” “Lamb's Elia,” “Cowper's Poems,” “Emerson's Representa- tiv en,” “Paley’s Natural Theology” and other works of general interest, showing that his style of reading was not of the common order. There was nothing in his dress or manner suggestive of royal breeding, but the delicacy of his conversation, the constant avoidance of reference to h'mself, the will- ingness to yield a point in argument that no feeling should be aroused, pointed to a phase of character that is supposed to be an attribute of royalty. “He iss @ shenl’mans,’’ said Schaefer's bartender, “from the top of his head to de bottom. He nefer shpeaks off himvelf, an’ he "lows no mans to inquire into his brivate affairs.” HOW HE PARED AS A YOUTH. The Prince retated that when he was a youth of sixteen he was mule an officer in the Imperial Aus- trian Guard. “There was great excite »”” said he, in u grave, retrospective mood of mind, “throughout all Germany at that time. Men's minds were unset- tled about the form of government best adapted for the advanced stage of civilization and refinement we Aimonarchy was looked upon by many arrangement, fitted for men whose capacity was like that of children, whose minds were immature and who required a paternal government to keep them within the bounds of law and order. The country was flooded with pamphlets inspired by the liberal party, and the rule of the Hapsburgs was denounced ag contrary to the spirit of the age, and the ferment went on until revolution finally broke out.” “Where were ;/9u at the time of the revolution ?” “I was then in the army, and detailed to command the platoon of soldiers ordered to shoot Robert Blum, a famous patriot of the time. The execution had to be performed, but it was altogether repugnant to my feelings, as I looked upon Blum as the type of the best class of patriots im the country. He died nobly and aiid the tears of those who had the pain- ful duty of terminating his lite.” What happened in your history after that ?” “I joined the liberal party with many others, and was arrested and thrown into prison. Subsequently Iwas condemed to death, but influential friends in- terposed and the scnteuce was commuted to imprison- ment for life.” “How long were you in prison ?”” “I was in prison for over eight years, and then there happened the birth of the Crown Prince of Austria anil with many others who had been confined for political causes, was liberated, but bemished from the country for life.” HIS EXPERIENCE IN CALIFORNIA. “Where did you yo then ?”" “To America. I slapped for a while in New York and then proceeded to San Francisco, I found it hard ut first to get any work to do, but a country- man who was keeping 4 flower garden near the city employed me as his assistant, and I ultimately came to be an independent yardenct myself.” “Do you feel any ovjection to telling your subse- quent history?” “Well, I would rather not talk about it. It is suffi- cient to say that I got married; that I went back to Europe, obtained a complete pardon from the Em- peror Francis Joseph and am now returning with my wife and child to occupy the estates that, belong- ing to my family, were sequestrated in the revolution of 1848,"" AN INTERESTING CHAPTER. From the friends of the Priuce the reporter ob- tained the information that he went to San Francisco and assumed the name of Henry Meier and devoted him-elf to the hardest kind of Work under that fic- titious cognomen. While he was thus laboring as @ gardener a blonde haired beautiful German girl, named Marie Von Reiche, saw him and fell in love. She herself was the daughter of a proud family that held large estates outside of the city of Haniburg. She ran away to this country from a boarding school in Hamburg and found refuge in the family of Mr. Schacter in Bayard strect. She “is « lady of ubout twenty-six yeurs, with blonde hair, biue eyes anda figure of classic proportions. She speaks English, French and Ger- man fluently, like her husband, aud has numerous accomplishiments besides, She went to Calitornia, and with the eye of intuition saw in her foreordained. husband the object of her choice. She met him at a Schiitzenfest and, impressed with his gentle- ly manners, fell straightway in love with got married, and both removed to in Oregon. Here their baby was born, but the father was coustantly thinking of the honors to which he was rightfully entitled aud which his little boy, who was now become the object of his decpes. affection, should share in. He had heard through the newspapers of the kindly con- servative disposition evinced by the Emperor of Aus- tria toward his recalcitrant subjects; about how he geuerously pardoucd many of those who had been foremost in assailing the integrity of his throne, and he resolved to return to Europe aud seck the Kaiser's pardon in person.

There he remained a weck unnoticed and unknown, After that he went to Schseier’s, the wife of Schacter boing a relation of his wife, Whos: name was Marie Vou Reiche. Miss Von Reiche came over here about seven years ago, and was then, as Gus Stalt, who knew her well, asserts, about twenty-four years of aug, She came, as Gus relates, trom an aristocratic family, aud was brought up ina place called Molle, in the kingdom of Hanover, “Lmet the two of them,” said Gus, “last saminer, whon he was going to Europe, and she wanted to go with him to make the Anie fallen botore the Emperor, but he wouldn't allow it.
