LIVING, DYING AND MANEUVERING IN
NEW YORK.
The Backward Spring— Fatal Effect of
Attending Funerals- Singular Ca
reer of an Argonaut E-c.
(Ct>rre«|>ondencc of the Itr.' bs-Ukios
New York. May 12, 1882.
Some six weeks ago we all felt confident
•of an early apring, and our confidence was
justified by the manifestations of external
nature. But, instead of the vernal weather
expected, we have since had, for the most
part, raw, gusty, uncomfortable weather,
which would do credit to the most odious
March. We have net been favored with
twenty-four consecutive hours of aught
like spring in the last two months and a
half. As a consequence the season, which
early in April was very forward, is now
remarkably backward, more so, indeed,
than it has been for years. It is folly for
any of us to pretend, While we live
in or around New York, to enjoy
genuine participation in spring. We have
no such reason. March is the worst kind
of winter, ami April is usually only a
modification thereof, while May bears com
monly a very close resemblance to summer.
In this immediate latitude there are really
but two seasons in the year— summer and
winter ; the former extending from about
May Ist to the close of October ; the latter
from November to the end of April. In
any sort of calculation, we may as well
omit spring and autumn, which do not ex
ist out of the imagination and the rhyming
effusions of the weekly newspapers. The
weather we have been having for
weeks past has been of little benefit to
anybody, except physicians and under
takers. It bas been singularly
PRODUCTIVE OF PNEUMONIA —
More than -00 deaths having occurred from
this disease in the last fortnight — nat
urally enough, since the temperature has
been so variable — 20' to 25" in '.'4 hours.
Often between 11 a. m. and 2 p. m. it will
be decidedly warm ; but by .'i or 4 o'clock
there will be a sharp chill in the air. Tbe
mornings would be genial and the evenings
bleak, or the evenings mild and the morn
ings cold. No one has known how to dress
from day to day ; whether to open the
windows or kindle fresh fires ; whether to
leave for the country the following week
or defer the annual departure for another
month. Such sudden changes are the most
prolific causes of pneumonia, which can
scarcely be guarded against, and which are
as likely to carry off an athlete as an inva
lid, a child as an old man, a very abstemi
ous person as a debauchee. Pneumonia is
very prevalent, I believe, on the California
coast, particularly in the region around
.San Francisco. But I know of no neigh
borhood in which there are so many and so
fatal cases as here and hereabout. It
seems as if half the people who die, die of
pneumonia. If one reads the obituary
-columns, one will find an alarming propor
tion of the mortality due to that ailment.
Kidney trouble, in some form, is another
prolific
SOURCE OF DISSOLUTION.
These two disorders, it would appear, kill
three-quarters or seven-eighths of our pop
ulation. Physicians express surprise at
the remarkable increase of the two dis
eases and their growing fatality. If a
New Yorker might be insured against those
distempers, he would have, I should sup
pose, a very fair chance of attaining con
spicuous longevity. A fertile cause of
pneumonia is attending funerals at this un
settled season. The windows of the houses
are generally opened, as they should be,
and sitting or standing in a draft is always
dangerous. Besides, going to the grave,
and standing hatless in the open air, is
the reverse of prudent. There is no place
where persons are apter to take cold than
at a funeral ; and a cold, though ordinarily
regarded as a trifle, is full of peril, and
ever the beginning of pneumonia. " I have
heard of a score of deaths in the last three
months from pneumonia, contracted at
funerals. Seven persons got pneumonia
from going to funerals early in April, and
three of the cases proved fatal. Thus
funerals beget funerals, and death, in a
sense, becomes contagions.
A MAX OF MULTITUDINOUS FRIENDS.
The last number of the North American
-contains a paper, " Days with Longfellow,"
by Samuel Ward, who is better known as
Sam. Ward— lobbyist, dinner-giver, epi
cure and man of the world. Those ac
quainted with him in those capacities alone
will hardly recognize him as a litterateur,
although he has been such from his youth.
Ward is a strange and versatile character.
No one I can think of has so thoroughly
combined the scholar, adventurer, gour
met, traveler, author, connoisseur and man
about town. I He is indeed wholly excep
tional ; he is full of oppoßites and sur
prises, and has had, on the whole, a remark
able and diversified career. He has had
several fortunes, and spent them in pro
< digal, though not in vnlgar fashion ; for he
has culture, delicacy and taste, and is not
inclined to mere display, or excess of any
kind. He was well born, well bred, well
educated ; being the son of Samuel Ward,
of the firm of Prince, Ward & King, once
the largest and best-known private bankers
in New York. His first wife was a sister
of the present John Jacob Astor, and
grand-daughter of the first John Jacob,
who founded the fortunes of the family.
After her death he married, in Paris, the
daughter of a British physician, and agreed
with her so ill that they
SEPARATED BY MUTUAL CONSENT.
That must have been 40 years ago, and
he has never since sought to enlarge his
connubial experience, owing, perhaps, to
his bad luck in wives. While his father
was rich the younger Samuel was liberally
supplied with money, and he also got con
siderable property by his first wife; but
the disastrous failure of tlpe houae of
which his father was a member, prevented
the continuance of the paternal allowance,
and then his inroads upon the means
gained by his Astor alliance soon dissipated
them. His change of circumstances came
while he was still abroad, and as it has
always been impossible for him to live
without a largo supply of money, from
- some source, he decided to return to his
native land in order to replenish his
exchequer. This was about the time of
the gold excitement in California and the
great immigration thither. He went,
with thousands of others, to the Pacific
coast, and made — some say by his connec
tion with a bank bearing a scriptural
name— as much as $300,000 or §400,000.
He came back East with his new fortune,
and lived sumptuously, while it lasted.
He was variously occupied here and in
Europe for some years, and, after the
breaking out of the civil war, appeared in
Washington as a lobbyist. Excellently
qualified for such employment, from his
wide acquaintance with public and promi
nent men ; from his agreeable address and
conspicuous social tact, he had rare suc
cess, and was presently recognized as the
chief of the lobby. Dinner-giving was his
strong point, and few of Ward's political
guests were able to resist his arguments in
favor of or against any bill or measufe,
after they had partaken of his dainty and
bounteous hospitality.
Borne idea of what he considers a modest
dinner may be gathered from this anec
dote. A noted New York financier, who
was interested in having a certain matti r
brought before Congress, mentioned it to
Ward. The lobbyist told him the thing
could be easily arranged by giving a little
dinner to a few of his friends. "All
right," said the financier, "go ahead."
Three weeks later a bill was sent in from
the leading restaurant, and it amounted to
some $1,500. That is Sam Ward's under
standing of a little dinner. Ward has now
' retired from the lobby, having made an
other fortune, this time by operating in
Wall street, backed by the counsel and as
sistance of James K. Keene, Charles J.
' Osborne, W. E. Conner, llufus Hatch,
Wm. 11. Travers, George M. Pullman,
Horace Porter, Junius Morgan and others.
Ilia home is here, and he frequently enter
tains his frit-mis at his rooms in Clinton
place. Several yeara since, James K.
Keene gave him $50,000 as an evidence of
his appreciation of Ward's kindness in
taking care of him through a long illness.
Ward recently insisted on returning the
amount, having acquired sufficient means
of his own. The ex lobbyist is entirely
good-hearted and generous to a fault. He
owns so many graces of mind and manner
that he creates lriends everywhere. He is
on intimate terms with Wm. M. Evarts,
Henry Ward Beecher, Lester Wallack,
James Gordon Bennett, Edwin Booth,
Samuel J. Tilden, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
John Kelly, August Belmont, S. L M.
Barbour, Key. Dr. Henry C. Potter, Pierre
Lorillard. John G. Whittier, Royal Phelps,
Dr. Fordycs Barker, George Bancroft,
Win. H. Yacderbilt and
MOST PROMINENT MEN,
Whatever their calling, throughout the land.
He is on a familiar footing, too, with Glad
stone, < -ambetta, Bismarck, Count de Cham
bord, Horn Pedro (of Brazil), Robert
Browning, the Prince of Wales, Alfred
Tennyson, Victor Hugo, Thomas Huxley,
Cardinal Manning, the Archbishop of York,
King Umberto, Kossuth, Count Andraesy,
Herbert Spencer, the Duke of Argyle, and
any number of the celebrities of the Old
World. Few men living in a private sta
tion have so many distinguished acquaint
ances. He couftl write up reminiscences of
almost any notable as readily as he has
written those of Longfellow. He is
a mine of information ; he is a critical
Greek and Latin scholar, a modern
linguist, a brilliant talker, a delightful com
panion, and haa a commanding genius for
dinners. Notwithstanding the taint of ad
venturer that clings to him, he seems to be
thoroughly liked by everybody, who holds
that, if he be not overweighted with
principle, he is certainly a very good fel
low. Sam Ward must be close upon 70
now ; he is stout, Bhort-necked, ruddy,
bold, wholly amiable, and ever beaming
with the memory of numberless good
stories and delicious dinners.
THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE PICTURE.
-Another advance in prices has been
made here within a few weeks, and as
they were very high before, the last up
ward turn must be serious in its conse
quences. The advance is in necessities as
well as in luxuries. Meats and household
provisions are materially dearer ; so are
rents, articles of wearing apparel, and
nearly everything else. No city in the
world of any age or of settled conditions
begins to be so expensive as this is. It is
not strange that the outside public marvels
how New Yorkers live ; they marvel at it
themselves. With fully seven-eighths of
our entire population life is a constant and
bitter struggle. The circumstances of
more than half a million of people —the
laboring and mechanic tenement- house
class — may well be considered despe
rate, since they have no prospect of
relief from their unwholesome and de
moralizing environment. Tben there are
some hundreds of thousands of native
Americans, intelligent, educated, indus
trious, more or less fastidious, who depend
on salaries and shop-keeping, and who at
best merely eke out a subsistence. On all
these, an increase of fifteen to twenty per
cent, in the cost of living is a great hard
ship, especially when they hare no corre
sponding power to earn. Nobody imagines
how much self-denial they are forced to
practice, but they must strain to provide
for themselves decently, and keep out of
debt. There is far more privation among
them than would be believed ; for they are
too proud to complain ; they carefully con
ceal their needs and their sufferings. They
keep up appearances when the reality is
Bad enough. They may not be fairly driven
to the wall, though they are continually
tending thereto. They live a half-life,
leaning on hopes that are never realized.
The gloomy inside of a great city is much
of the time presented to them. It is esti
mated that
A small family,
A man and wife and two children, cannot
get on here with any degree of comfort for
less than $5,000 a year. If this be correct;
and I am confident it is, the bulk of New
Yorkers must have a hard experience.
How do they manage? To what shifts do
they revert ? Who supplies necessary de
ficiencies ? No answer has ever been given
to such questions, nor is any likely to be
given. Despite the activity of business
and the general prosperity, thousands of
persons are at present seeking employment
in vain. As a rule, they have no special
trade, no particular training in any kind of
work. Many of them are foreigners, freshly
arrived ; more are persons from the conn
try, drawn thither by the report of the
commercial briskness prevalent in town.
The growing needs of the multitude may
be judged by the fact that the number of
women employed in the city is steadily
augmenting. They now fill all sorts of
situations. Formerly they were in
the main teachers, seamstresses, milliners,
dress-makers, lecturers, domestics : to-day
they are saleswomen, florists, accountants,
telegraph operators, bar-maids, physicians,
solicitors, journalists, cashiers, correspond
ents, managers, copyists, authors, clerks
and small manufacturers of divers kinds.
They are constantly entering into new in
dustries, and supporting not parents only,
but brothers and husbands, who are in
valids, physically or mentally, or indolent
or incompetent, and base enough to be pet
ticoat pensioners rather than honorable
suicides. But has New York ever been
making more money or spending more lav
ishly than it is now ? Probably not. But
the New York that makes a deal of money
and spends lavishly is only a few
thousands ; while they who are poor and
struggling and twisting and turning and
pinching to keep at a dull, dreary level,
must be counted by the hundreds of
thousands.
VARIETIES.
The erection of a new and elegant family
hotel, something like the Vendome in Bos
ton, but to exceed it in cost and elaborate
appointment, is contemplated on the vacant
lots at the southeast comer of Fifth avenue
and Fifty-seventh street. Several capital
ists are interested in the enterprise.
When William H. Vanderbilt was born,
some sixty years ago, his father, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, was not worth, it is said, $100,-
COO. But the Commodore died with an
eatate of $50,000,000, and his eldest son's
property is asserted to have a value to-day
of more than $100,000,000. With what
amazing rapidity vast fortunes increase !
The widow of Frank Leslie — his second
wife — has, since his death, taken entire
charge of his business, as he desired her to
do so, and has brought his complicated
affairs into excellent shape. She has paid
off all his creditors with whom he had com
promised ; won several important suits in
stituted against her, and is personally su
perintending and conducting the publish
ing of ten weeklies and monthlies, spending
nine or ten hours daily at the oflice in
Park Place. She is an incarnation of busi
ness, although she is, I hear, an accom
plished and interesting woman, and clears
some $200,000 annually, which is entirely
her own. ' In legal phrase, she is Frank
1 Leslie, and so signs checks, notes and con
■ tracts. Who says women are not practical '!
, Edwin Booth has, I understand, de
clined, gratefully but firmly, the dinner
which hia admirers and friends wished to
J give him before his departure for Europe
; on the '.list instant. He thinks that the
• l);lmonico breakfast, near two years ago,
I was testimonial enough.
Perry Belmont haa been repeatedly men
l tioned by the newspapers here and else- I
where as the grandson of Commodore Olive
H. Perry, of Lake Erie fame. His grand
father was Commodore Matthew C. Perry,
brother of Oliver IL, who was consequently
his granduncle.
Before Henry James, Jr., sailed for Eu
rope laat week, he told a fellow litterateur,
who was talking to him of the vague end
ing of his " Portrait of a Lady," that he
supposed every intelligent reader would
understand that Isabel Archer returned to
Rome, and entered the convent in the
Piazza Navona, where she had left Pansy
Osmond, her step-daughter. Few readers
of the world, I fancy, had any such idea
of the denouement. Chaubert.
A Monument fob Rev. Isaac Owen. —
Rev. Isaac Owen was chosen by the bish
ops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
1848, to superintend the work of planting
Methodism in California. He came over
land in 1849, and entered at once upon the
work with a zeal and energy surpassed by
none since the days of the apostles. From
the hour of hia arrival to the day that he
fell at his post, in 1866, he sought no re
spite from labor. Though only fifty-seven
years of age when called home, he was old
and worn out by the toils and hardships of
a service which was dearer to him than life
itself. Hia remains were laid away in the
Santa Clara Cemetery, but no stone marks
the spot where the fallen hero is slumber
ing. At the last session of the California
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the undersigned were appointed a
committee to care for the grave. We deem
it fitting to ask aid in erecting a plain,
inexpensive monument in memory of him
whose self-sacrificing spirit was so con
spicuous while be labored with us. To
place the grave in a condition at all suitable
will require $300. No man on this coast
had more friends than Rev. Isaac Owen in
the earlier days of California. Many of
them survive him. To them we appeal for
aid in the proposed work. Those who
have come after him are also asked for con
tributions. Large sums are not asked ;
but ali are solicited to give a little. We
would like the money by June Ist. It
may be sent to our Treasurer, John Wid
ney, Santa Clara. The press, by copying
this appeal, will render great service to the
cause. W. Oliver, 11. Beutley, .1. Widney,

A Persecuted Merchant. — '/.. Epstein,
of New York, is undergoing tribulations
that clearly entitle him to a front rank in
the great army of martyrs. Mr. Epstein
is a merchant, and refused to close his
store at 7 o'clock p. M., as other merchants
did, whereupon certain persons, acting for
or in the interest of the other merchants,
have subjected him to a series of tbe most
perplexing and absurd annoyances. In
the first place, the glass of his show win
dows was painted ; then when he had it
replaced it was broken. The next thing
was an advertisement in the papers that
Mr. Epstein wanted cash boys, and for two
days his store resembled a reform school
playground. A second advertisement
called for two hundred laborers to apply at
Mr. Epstein's place between the hours of 2
and 5, which are the shopping hours for
ladies. They came in droves and fright
ened the shoppjers away. The last resort
was to advertise for a dog in Mr. Epstein's
name, and the effect of advertising was
again exhibited. The poor man is wonder
ing what will be done next.
Mark Lanigan. Esq , First Deputy Sheriff
of New Y ork City, recently aaid to a promi
nent newspaper reporter: "I had a very
weak and painful back, and could find noth
ing to relieve it until I tried St. Jacobs Oil,
leas than four bottles of which cured me com
pletely. I have recommended it highly."
The name Cape of Good Hope was given
by John 11. of Portugal, who augured well
of future discoveries, having found the ex
