Correspondence of The Topla'
' New York, August 19, 1882. ?
. l .rjANpTBBR POLICE OUTRAGE. ,
;i A few eveoings ago, Mr, "W".; M.
Rosebalt, a well known young lawyer
aud journalist, was arresUdl for! the
shocking offense of sitting jpon his
own door step, and for supplementing
tbi8 outiageous act of villainy iwitb.
the unpardonable crime of refusing to
enter his door at the command of the
officer. He was dragged to the sta
" tiohhouse; where the sergeant in.
charge disdaining to listen to j any
protest or explanation thrust h!m into
a foul, stifling cell, where he remained
until morning. When taken to court,
he made a plain statement of facts to
Judge Ford, who. seeing that there
had been no grounds for arrest; im
mediately discharged him. A morn
ing paper in commenting upon this
affair says : We rejoice in the belief
that legal means will now be taken by
the gentleman ascertain whether with
out any warrant in fact or any reason
whatever, except their own will and
furious pleasure, these brutal and
law-defying policemen can thus out
rage peaceful and orderly citizens.
Mr. Rosebalt, from whoso manly letter
concerning the Russian Jews, I quo.
ted liberally a few weeks ago, has
begun an action against the brute
who arrested Mm. and the other brute
who committed him. They will also
be arraigned before the Police Board,
and will doubtless be dUmis9ed the
force. Edward Kenedy is the police
man and John Thompson the Ser
geant. WHY SO MANY MERCHANTS FAIL.
The record of mercantile failures
in New York and its vicinity, for the
first seven months in the year, is not
so alarming as it has been in years
past showing that the general . condir
tion of trade and industry is healthy
throughout the United States. Spec
ulation has not approached the ex
treme to which American trade some
times reaches, and therefore the com
mercial situation is one of our normal
activity. The failures in the South
and West are due, for the most part,
to the exaggerated credit system,
which prevails in those sections, lead
ing country dealers to advance more
largely than their capital justifies. In
New York, there has been a marked
caution in all branches of trade, and
despite the mischeif done by, the
freight handlers strike which was
altogether the fault of the railroad
companies, the business of good nous
es has been excellent, and the outlook
is promising. Yet, while it is logical
to look for an increase of trade disas
ters to accompany an increase of
population, we may moderate our
fears when we consider that, the sys
tem of commercial credits is iuaprov
ing, and that there is a more liberal
use made of printerVink, than ever
before. Merchants in the city as well
as in the country, must pay for their,
penny wise folly, when, on the score
of economy, they retuse to make
t icmsclves known to the world. Hasty
and ill judged ventures contribute
their quota of mishaps to the general
scores followed by speculations in
Stock, which have (breed several firms
t succumb r but a glance at the list
will satisfy the observant reader that
in the majority cases, the merchants
who have come to grief were tuosei
who, like the cat in the ' adage V let
X dare not wait upon 'I would,' .and,
instead of using the types, have saved
their pennies to buy mourning . with.
Men' who advertise, seldom. fail.

It was; a little, mere than -78 years

Aaron7 Burr 'ltdopted a young French
man, the natural son' of Count Verde
de Lisle ; The boy s took his new
father's name, went into business in
New York as a jeweller and diamond
importer, and as the ' Opal King,"
amassed a; fortune. After spending
some years in travel, be founded the
American Honduras Company, and at
one time,' before the days 6l gas and
electricity, served the city as Lamp
Inspector, an office which added to
the millionairess income at least $100
a year. Aaron C. Burr died on the7
27th ult. and two days afterward died
John Church Hamilton at the age of.
90. He and the adopted sou of his
father's slayer had often met, and
were the best of friends. Aaron
Burr died in a little tavern at Fort
Richmond,' Staten Island ; his victim
died at his home iu New York : Aaron
Burr's namesake died in New York :
and Alexander Hamilton's son at
Long Branch, N. J. Only one of . the
four was a New Yorker by birth
Hamilton's son. His father was from
the West Indies, Aaron Burr was a
native of Newark, N. J., and Aaron
C. Burr was born in the South' of
France.

Baltimore Sun Long Branch Letter'
The day of my arrival here I went
into the barber shop of one t of the
leading hotels and dropped into! the
first vacant cfiair. The eminent! and
accomplished professor who preside
over this chair, after making! the
usual depreciatory remarks about the
s'yie in which my hair had been jlast
cutv &c.', glided 1 off in to a flow of
gossip. He communicated the intel
ligence that he had waited on Gen.
Grant in that chair the day before,
aud then paused a moment as if he
expected me to rise and bow proi
found ly1' to the chair. 'Resnmlngj he
said that to him had beeu entrusted
the honor of scraping the chin and
cutting the hair of Gov. Cornell during-
the stay of that distinguished,
functionary rat(Uhe Branch, and' he,
added, "Gov,r Cornell always paid
fifty cents for 1 shaving and a dollar
for hair cutting." I innocently in
quired 'how many times Mr. Cornell
had his hair cift. At this he hesitated ,
a moment,' as'1 if summing jup the
aggregate, and then replied: "Weil.
he had it cut once. But,' he went on ,
to say, andTthlar in that peculiarly,,
insinuating style which barbers know,
so well how to assume, "all the gen
tlemen who come here pays for their
shave, and then gives a quarter ' to
the man who shaves them." I sup
pose this knight of the razor thought,
he . was playing it ; very fine on me,! for .
as X stepped out of his chair r he half ,
stretched out his itching palms. : But
summoning up all my nerve I remarked
apologetically, that it as only! the :
sons of rich men who could afford to
be so generous. But he had 1 Ins re
