Whon le arrived at the intersection of Lale and Ran- dolph stroets, ho was met by & li:anumnan with & carpet-bag, who asked him where the Central Dopot was.

New Yonx, Feb, 6, 1873, The prst woek hns boon ono of unusual fes- tivity, ovon for the Motropolis, Wo have had balls, partics, and recoptionn without end,—the oxcosslvely disagroeable wonthor outelde having had tho effect of augmenting by ocontrast tho goyety within, Passing through tho fashion- ablo thoroughfarcs, one would have imagined, from tho covered ways, and the oarriagos arriv- ing and departing with olaboratoly-drossed guests, that the ontire city had boen surron- dored to soclal oxhilaration and morry-malking. MELANOMOLY PLEASURE. I nevor attond any soclaty-gathering of Amori- cans without belng struck anew by the solomn qunlity of their enjoyment. Pleasuro-sooking with us is something liko funcral-following. It does not scom poseiblo of attainmont, however 'much wo may atrivo. Wo lack tho cheorfulnoss, geniality, and spontancity which givea truo zest to soclal occaslons, I was ospecially rominded of this at tho Chari- ty Ball ot the Academy, ovening before last, For & publio gathering, that is onaof the vory boat] in rospect to tho kind and condition of its shar- ors, which wo havo during the entire sonson. Tho men and women prosent aro, as o rulo, woll-bred, cnltivated, and cosmopolitan. You would look to them for tho finost and most genuine oxpression of our mo- cloty. And what doyou find? Porfect polite- noss, solf-poise, and solf-constraint, of course; but extreme listlossnoss, frigidity, and not a ghost of a sign of enjoyment. All high-breed- ing hine an outward aspect of coldness and re« sorve; but it proves what I havo eaid, that goyety, in any strict sonse, i not a concomitant ‘of our society. Tho air of the Acndemy was positively chilly, though tho ovoning was twarm, and the decolicle style of drossos might have conveyed the impres- sion that thoir wearors weroe warm slso, The men and womon were sa ungmotional and undomonstrative ag it they Liad beon abeorbod in tho abatrusest probloms of mathomatics, How and wero tho moasures of tho dancol The quadrilles wore more roctangular movemeonts ; not & ourve nor o throb in thom; the waltzes and galops were maghanical gyrations; and the sconio, from flrat to Rgt, permonted with n entur- nine spirit. Tho partipators called it plonsuro; that thoy could do so, evinces thoir inability to understand the real meaning of the word. The oceasion might justly havo boen advortised as o mosked ball, in"which tho pleasuro was so com- s}utuly masked that its prosenco could not be soovered. DANGE OF TIE COOKS. A marked antithosls to tho Charity Ball was the ball of the Societe Culinatre Philanthropique, tho samo evening, at Irving Hall, an tho oppo- sito side of the atract. There the Fronch cooks, with their friends and families, had & thoroughl enjoyablo timo. The women were not so ol educated, so well dressed, or 80 well trained ag at the Acsdomy, but, i their breeding waa low- er, their dressos wero higher, and_they danced, aud movod, and talked as if they liked it. The Tronch, inall the walli of lifo, aro our antip- odes. They can find gratification in trifles, and are supremely happy whore we should be buried in gloom. Possing from the Acadomyto Irving Hall saomod like crossing the ocean. In ono waro the indifforenco ond cheorleasness of the Anglo- Raxon ;_in tha athos, the vivacity snd sparkle of tho Latin. Had I'been in quest of pleasure, 1 should have remained with the cooks, insteas fil going back to the fashionables of the opera- ouge. Muny of the attendants of the Academy re- frained from tho nuPpul' preparod by Delmonico, in order to take that of tho culeiniors. The Fronch cooks do their utmost at their annual celebeations to illustrate their art. Their tables are bonutiful to witness,—their mounted pieces boing marvellous examples of what they can accomplish. Nothing lke these pioces can bo seon_anywhere else in New York; and the rosult is, that many Indies And gentlemen go to the balls us to a confectionery spoctacle, Among tho largs cold pioces %m:nc: fin‘mafroides) were particularly noticenble: tho astion of Bt. Lauront (Baslion d' Anguilles du 8t Laurent), mado of cols, in oxcellont imita- tion of the fort so prominent during the siogo of Paris; a Boar's Head (Hure de Sanglicr au Gas- tronome), which looled really foroctous with its toothsome pastry; Mayonco Hams in Mosaic SJambmzs de Mayence en Mosaique), 0 bosuti- ully inlald with colorod jellios that they truly desorved to be considered works of arf; the Burprise Bwan (COygne en Surprise), a vory natu- ral swan, lifo size, of sugar, floating on a pool of ex%n{sitely-sunsnnod urkey-salnd. Of_the mountod ploces, somo of the most noted woro the Templo of Peace (Temple de la Paiz), % striking creation in sugar, ornomented with strange arabesquos and beautiful flowers, all of ignnflg white; the Bwiss Hermitago (Z'Ermitage Suedois), & cottage, a lake in front snd mountains in the resr,—the landscape dot~ tod with goats and ponsants, daintily wronght in confections and eweetmoats ; and the Cottage of Doves (La Ohaumiere des Colombes), & fairy Bbructure, inclosing live linnots, and surrounded by wator in which gold-fish woro gracefully swimming. There were many other uxr{ulaun designs, of such ourious fashion as to lift the cook's cunnin into the region of thoideal. The proprietor o ono of our loading hotels remarked: * These French cooks don't do anything of this sort for us ; and they wouldn't if we paid them a hun- dred dollars an hour.” FRENOID COOKERY 8% is Apfi;«uluted hers, oven more (I confoss it with mortification) than journalism or literaturo, Tho chef da” cuising at Delmonico’s _recelvos 80,000 & year ; and, at the Clarendon, Brevoort, §t. Nicholas, Astor, and othor hotols, he gots 6,000, In mmg rivato * houses, the cook hns from $2,500 to §5,000 por an- num; ond, while mony of them aro employed, they aro in notive domand, The sala- rlos gonerally of oulinary Gauls must bo noarly twico ns large as those of writers for the press and magnzinos. ‘Thoir superior compensation is orhaps deserved. It may require more intel- ect, culiure, and experience to propate food than to propare afl)fl" Wo could get along bet- tor without montal than we conld without phye- jcal food.

AN AMUSING MISTAXE occurred, Tuesday evoning, in Irving Place, An ‘Englishman, recontly arrived here, had purchas- ed a tickot to tho Charity Ball, snd, ordering a oarrisgo at_tho Olarendon, was driven to tho corner of Ffteenth streot, whero tho Milesian Johu drow up, thinking the gontloman inside wished to dance with tho cooks, Upon the Brit- on's nsking, “ I8 this the place ?" Le was told it was, Hle stopped out accordingly, and, passing tho door-keopor, where quite s orowd werg'golng in, tho fact that’ not obsorved. The native of Alblon, who bad boen told that tho patrons of the Charity Ball roprosented our Dot soolety, was somewhat surprised ab tho un- Amorican nmmnrmco of thoso prosont, aud at tho fact that thoy all spoke Frouch, na if it woro thoir native tongue. Their manuers and drosy woro not quite what ho had boen led to nx;umtl and, aftor romaining an_hour, his mind was ful of ndvorso oriticisms, which wero suddonly ren- derad nugatory by the discovery of his blunder. After .he had gouo ovor to the Academy, ho romatkod to anotbor Londouor: **Well, I thought it was very oxtraordinary, you knovw, that tho finost ladics and gentlomen of Now York should eat garlic whon going into compa- ny, and shouldn't knoyw a blasi od word of thelr own languago, you know.
