-Two Dollars a Year

Our Broadbrimn Letters.NEw YoRK, Sept. 20. 1879.

EDITOR CoIle':

I sometimes think that there is nota people on the face of the earthas easily gulled as the people of NewYork. They arc about as easily takenin and done for as King Cetewayowas when Sir Bartle Frere made hima present of a set of brass buttons,assuring him that they were jewelsfrom the crown of Her Most GraciousMajesty, the Queen. Deception, tothe average New Yorker, is verymucli like skinning to the eel ; andit is recorded of the eel, that afterbeing skinned five or six times, atlast lie begins positively to like it.No amount of disastrous experienceseems to profit the New Yorker the

* value of a hair. Take him in to-daywith the most flagrant and transpar-ent humbug, and you can catch hin'to-morrow just as easily if you willonly alter the bait: If there is any-thing that a New Yorker likes, it is aCount, a Lord or a Duke. Dukes,Earls and such-like game, are ratherscarce at presei't, but Lords andCounts are plenty, without there be-ing a positive glut oi the market.In the abselice of titled personages,we 'Akre satisfied with the youngereons of nobility, who sign their names"J. Fitzboodle, S. Takemin, Fitzboo-die Hall, Hertz, Eng.,"or " H. Augus-tus Shortwejl Pump, Pump Abbey,Wilts." There is a style about thissort of signature which is positivelycharming, and our licn hunters, whomake it a business to watch the hotelregisters 24 hours after a new arrival,can give you his pedigree, certainlyas far back as Noah. It is marvelous,after the number of times that NewYork has been taken in by titled hum-bugs, that its eyes are not opened atlast, but every week furnishes a newexample and a new warning, but stillthe ball rolls on. If it were merelythe humbugging of some old fool, andria wife, having an itching for fashion-

able notoriety, it would be a matter ofvery small moment, but unfortunate-ly it has too frequently resfilted in theruin of whole families, the blightingof young lives, and the wrecking ofambitious hopes, built on a foundationof sand. To show the facility withwhich this thing is done : about fiveyears ago,' a'distingnished looking in-dividual made his appearance at theFifth Avenue Hotel, claiming one ofthe proudest titles in Scotiand. Theman was known to be a charlatan toevery one of vit liolice, but it tookaver six moote to root him out of ourfaisbiotable society. Nor did lie leavetill lie had swindled his confidingfriends out of fifty thousand dollars,when he fled to Manitoba, where liewas killed. The very next week af-tar his flight, the entire Fifth Avenue`ware a blaze, of excitemuent, caused bythe arrival of a distinguished RussianCount, the last syllable of whose en-pronouneable nane was whiskey,whiskey, whiskey, itekskey. Hisname and his titles filled nearly halfa page oft4 hotel register. He hadfourteen trunks and a vitlet de place.He took'a magnificent suite of roomsopposite Madison.Square. The rarestof :wines-washed down his -olioviesand oysters, and altogether he ap-peared like a most distinguished;tussian nob... He had scarcely beentwenty-four hours in the hotel, whenlie had received a basket-full of cards,proffering the most friendly atten-tions. Husbands, whose wives had

! traveled from St. Petersburg to Mos-cow, were urged to call on the Countand offer him their hospitality. HisEnglish was vile, his French was ex-ecrable, his Russian was good, andhe cou&d read the German. Withina week of his arrival, a grand partywas given in his honor, and severalhundred guests were bidden to thefeast. A number of designing mama's,with eligible daughters, made a dead-set at him in hopes of securing a lieuon his magnificent castle of Kirtz-mettswotskuxffsky on the banks of theVolga. Next morning after the party,his Countship suddeiily disappeared,and it then trauspired that he was avalet, who had irobbed Wis master atSt. Petersburg, and the timely araivalof a Russian detective had possiblysaved a lot of ambitious tools from

*ruin and disgrace.

' We had hardly got rid of the Ens-siamn valet, when we caught a Turk,a bashaw with three tails, Abdul Ha-fez Ibriam Mulytzkan. He was adig-n8 et omer, with a coal blacklKe da curly head, and a skintbout t color of old parchment. Hlegave out contracts for one hundred' thousand rte eating mifles, forty thou-saed sabers, twenty- two thousand re-volvers, and two million of cartridges.The Fifth Avenue was excited oncemore, and I verily believe that fifty

=young ladies were ready to marry him,taking their chances of the bow-string ,.and a sack in the Bosphorus. But iafter running on the top nst wave of 1prosperity for a few months, feted d

ohd triited~ aid fed on the best, lie Ii-aiiished one night, leaving a lot of Tnourning creditors behind himi, andI

the'places ;that knew him once shallknow him no more forever.

-The latest revelation fe that of anItalian .Coumt, who arriwedl in NewYork in the latter part of.Jane. TheCount himself seemed modest enouh,but his courier, a loquacious scoundrel, told every body about the hotel

ot of the wonderful wealth and standingof his master. The reporters soongot hold of it, and the new sensationen was a mine of wealth to them. In

fo less than two weeks, he was on them inside of the charmed circle, and like1, another Claude Melnotte, he toldIs them about his palace on the Lake ofi Como, fond liiaestates at Rome andto Florence. On Monday last, he was`' recognized as a notorious swindlerId from Paris. At that night, he left theor city accompanied by the daughter ofit a wealthy banker, whose hospitalityt. lie had ihared ever since his arrivale in the city. A respectable family isie plunged in grief, and the wretched

IS girl who is the victim of this villainy,r- if she escapes him, can only look to a

life darkened by clouds of grief and11 shame, tIll death shall close the scene,

Cyrus Field is out with anothera complimentary card on Uncle Sammy' Tilden. According to Cyrus, Uncler Sammy only made a million by sell-d ing out whereas, if lie had held on, he

would have made two millions. WhenI read that passage it made me feelbadly. If uncle Sammy had only hadthat extra million to put in his har'l.

I think I should have gone for a kegfull ; but now that the old man feelsso poor after his frightful loss, I thinkI'll strike Uncle Cyrus, who kept his

i stock, and consequently must feely liberal.o What are we coming tot A noto-

1 rious thief, eight years old, committedto the City Prison for ten days for

y stealing six jack-knives. The boy'smother, a respectable looking youngwoman, attended this juvenile ruffianat his trial. When the sentence was

it pronounced, she gave a wild scream,W and throwing her arms around the

11 child fell fainting to the floor. Acouple of brutal policemen endeavor-

d ed to tear him away, when the Judgei interfered, and for a time at least, al-lowed him to remain with his mother.

On Wednesday, a poor mechanice from Union Hill, was around the dif-g ferent police precincts looking for

two lost daughters, one seventeenn and the other fifteen. Both had beenh spirited away from home, and it is toe be feared that both are lost forever.

After a weary search, the poor olde man turned away to his desolate

f home, where lie shall see his lost dar-Slings nevermore, nevermore.0 We are all excitement now overk the coming walking match, which isr expected to come off for the Astley

1 belt, at the Madison Square Garden, onI entember 99.1 MTH. e. theo les.eng September 22d. Mr. Hess, the lessee

rs, till the first of October, says that thehe match will positively come off. Mr.

f Vanderbilt, who is the owner of thene place, and who has leased it toby O'Leary for the month of October,aII says jnst as positively, that it will

n not. Meanwhile the walkists andY, runnists have put up several thou-[is sand dollars for the privilege of en-

Ilf tering, and all of them are taking ex-td ercise to fit themselves for the com-

e. ing trial. Rowell takes his practice a18 every day on the course where hest expects to run, pud the other day he

es ran six miles without. stopping toP- take breath. A great many thousand,d dollars are already put up on the

n race, and if it comes off as adver-Stised, we shall see what we shall see. I

8, By-the-by, a colored brother whowished to enter the race, and who I

d was willing to put up his five hun- ts died dollars, has been ruled out by tit the managers of the walk, I presume,1 on account of his complexion. Go- for 'em, Sam, on the Civil Iights

T the matter.l The middle of September brings tIe back our truant minigters, our newly r8, engaged organists, and our re-organ- c

1- ized choirs. After a season of restLuand peace, everybody looks pleased I

The safe arrival of Prof. Nordensk-jold at Yokohama, Japan, proves be-yond ques.tjon he existence of aNortheast passage. The Professorleft Gothenburg on the 4th of July,1878, in the Vega, and reached theextreme northern point of Asia onthe 10th of August. There a shortrest was taken. The Vega then pro-ceeded along the peninsula to themouth of the Lenna river, and fromthence eastward to the mouthl of theKolwya river. On the 27th of Sep-tember Kalintzhm Bay was crossed.The Vega wintered in this bar. neara Tshltechi settlement. She was de-tained in tiae ice two h aulaes andsixty four days. On the 18th of July,1879, she was released, and passedEast Cape into Behrings Strait twodays afterwards. The ship's crew re-mained healthy throughout the voy-age. The shortest day was threehours long. The Professor made manyimportant discoveries, and collectedmuch valuable information. TheVega arrived at Ytohbama on theand day of September.
