The holiday merged into the holy day with a llon in the casino, out at that in- sely fashionuble resort. The orchestra d Yankee national airs until five nutes before midnight. Then those lose feet were controlled by religious Suples stopped dancing, and retired im the floor—some of them from the {lding altogether; but a considerable frty kept up the sport, and six giddy , just at the stroke of twelve, took atiny satin stairy and striped flags ym their hair and corsages, substitut- 11 small knots of black ribbon. { LENTEN HOSIERY, Y i nt are strangely E\lflletlng und inconsistent.

It was impossible to tell throngh the glass what the sands were, though the lightest shade looked like silicon, and there appeared to be common clay there. ‘Does this go?" was asked of the clerk “Oh, yes," he said; “It don't sell like a standard cigar, but it averages well, There have been one or two days when we didn't sell a bottle, bul the average has been just about twenty-five a day.’” REVIVALS FOR CHILDREN, The novelty at afashionable church has been a revivalist who devotes his efforts to {onnq children. He was the veteran E. P. Hammond. “I bring out vividly before the minds of children,” said Mr. Hammond to the writer, “‘the great fact that Christ died a cruel death on the cross in their stead. Idwell on the sufferings of Christ until the children realize him vividly erucified before them. They must gee the erown of thorns upon his brow." Two hundred children, under the charge of Sunday-school teachers, listening to Mr. Hammond, could be scen every after- noon. He read the accounts of tho eruci- fixion from the gospels and supple- mented them with vivid deseriptions of vicarious atonement. Then he told about the crown of thorns and produced such an articie, wiioh he had bronght from Jerusalem. Children from four" to fourteen years ot age listened to the re- ivalist's’ stories and exhortations in- tently, and when he was very graphic in s description and pantomimic illustra- tion of Christ'ssufferings, some little ones wept bitterly THE ACADEMY auction sale of the A is a token of the up-tow but more than th borders of ademy of N mov it is proof that ociety” have of late been rapidly nded. There was a time when New York was so small that a single eircle of rich, well-bred families could fairly elaim to be “‘our best soci- ety.” It has long ceased to be so. There are dozens of cliques which are stop, and the Astor one 1s not higher than the others. It1s much easier to-day to get into that particular social scction than into sowe others that could be named, Well, in the old times the Academy of Musie, with its proprietary boxes, was big enough to hold the nanobs. But there came a time when, instead of ex- cluding the rest of the fashionable world they were_themselve langer of ex: clusion. The Metropolitan opera_house was built, with its multiplied number of boxes, and the Academy families had to serumble into the new concern to save themselves. They did 1t and the old house is abandoned. ARION MASKERS, Not a few of the approved box-owners of the Metropolitan we { at the great Arion masque was some measure of comfort in attend- ing this ball, for the erowd of stupid lisgusting spectators in the mc ress is not attracted to it. either in fuil dre i I would try to_ describe the brilliant picture with its salient features i nglish language were capable of Ever; or én 2 fact is that such an event cannot be told in English; the proper, perhaps L ought to say improper, words not in the vocabularv.

The haif-world; it conyeys no tici shock to the sibilities and it is possible to describe its doings without violating the proprictics of written ais- course. To many ot the ncople who went to the Arion'it was a_pleasant oc- asion from which they derived a deal of 1nocent enjoyment and recreation, If they were conscious of the presence of the half-world they accepted 1t as a nee- ary evil attendant upon a big public ball. ~ But I noticed that such people kept their distance from the refreshments rooms and if they hungered and thirsted they either got on without food and drink or slipped nervously into a place near the kitchen, SNATCHED A MORSEL or a drop and hurried away again to the ball-room floor. Not that they were so overpowered by a desire to dance, but that the scenes in the refreshment rooms were n little too pronounced for the equanimity of even a liberal German. It seemed to me that these respectable peo- ple must have found entertainment carce this winter to submit thus to the sacrifice of their proper emotions. Never- theless they were the most reasonab) women present, outside the members o the half-world. For the others, not _con- tent with regarding the vresence of the doubtful women as a necessary cvil felt constrained to defend their own char- acters npp:u‘aml{ by exhibiting an extreme prudery of demeanor at ever possible occasion. [ saw, for instance, & woman well along the thirties who was dressed in colors that were as often- sive to cultivated taste as could be imag- ined, and whose shoulders were undi guised tale-bearers of her aying charms, promenading on the arm of a person who, in every-day lite,might hav cen a gentleman, but who ut this was a fantastic, ugly harlequin, with a huge stomach and ‘rufiled trousers, A younf.: woman passed this respectable couple and attracted the attention of all beholders by her independent, easy movements and her unconventional at- tire, Her dress bore somewhat the same Towiivii tv no7 that THE SKIRTS OF THE BALLET do to the dancer but they were consider- ably longer. Her hose were a bright pink, and’she wore such high hecls that she tiptoed and tilted as he walked. Her shoulders were covered and only n mod- est bit of neck as big as your hand peeped out at the gas light. She held nil;nunly to the arm of u gay club mun, No one looked harder at her than did tne com- panion of the harlequin. She scowled haughtily at the first glimpse of her, recognizing the airy gaiv that distin- guishes the half-world woman; then she took in at a comprehensive glance the cut of her skirts and if she was half hon- est she admitted that the work had been well done; this she fol- lowed by a crineal examination of the hose and the shoes, aud I must say she seemed as much interested in the young woman's extremities as the men who were in sight; then she shrugged her shoulders violently and shuddered - at finding herself s0 mear the impure, Served her right, I thought; what was she there tor? She knew just what kind of peovle would be present and if she did not want to meet them, she should stayed away, or gone home as soon as fell shocked, as did, But my shock came from a momentary inspection of the wine room, where drunkenness pre- vailed to a borrifying degree in both sexes.

Signs of War—Solons Approachable —8ingular “1 Ohject” Mon—Sig- nificant Improvements — Society and Grover, Wasnivaroy, Feb, 24— [Correspondence of the Ber.]—It begins to look as though England and her province of Canada have had quite enough of their snarl with the United States, and that they would be glad to reach a peaceable readjustment of what threatens to be a breach which will lead to war, 1tis known that during the past two months steps have been taken to adjust the differences between that country and this by means of a commission and arbitration. “The very positive moves made by congress to prepare for war, if necessary, and to be in readiness for defense in any event, has made avery perceptible effect upon our British neighbors, There is hardiy zood ground, however, for England to be frightened at the talk in our congress. Such a great difference exists be- tween the two houses of congress on the sub- ject of a navy, const defences, ete., that there is very little liklihood of anything being done which will prepare us to mcet the enemy within a period when this. trouble must be culminated. The senate has piled up on the house a number of bills in good faith, but the house does not intend to do anything with them if itean help it, aud is eoting the popular demand for action by eating new bills, which cannot be acted upon, instead of passing those which have already received action by the senate. The real objection tv an_expenditure for a navy and coast defences lies in objection to taking the surplus out of the treasury, and this is based upou a desire to reform the taviff next winter, **e “Well, Lhave had a whirl of it this win- tor,” said Mrs. Cleveland to some friends ek, referring to the sayeties of so- : “but I have had the most charming of my life.” Surely Mrs. Cleveland has withstood the rde sed upon her better than any lady 1pied the white house, and sure had @ busier on of it from t day of her marriage than any of her predecessors, It has been one continual swim on the crest of the wave, and she iooks as fresh and t as on the day she left her maidenhood and entered the seriousness of the life she now leads.

'Ihe speaker likes a hot_cup of cofiee, a large beefsteak, and vegetables, making such a meal as a bring man would eat at mid-day. No one is permitted to see {he speaker under any circunistances while he is at lunch, as this is the only time he isfree from harass- ment. ik Mr. Mitchell of Connecticut, fas gained the repufation of being the most libaral diner in the house since Nictiolas Muller of New York, has by illness incapacitated his gastrie ability, Up to the time Mr. Muller was ill, last winter, his entrance to the restaurant was the signal for broad smiles from all the waiters, He always had a erowd with him, spread the most sumptuous repasts, and in- variably paid corkage for Iis: wines, and it went right down into the pockets of the waiter, Mr. Muller is fond of trivpe and oys- ters, and by the process suggested by him in their preparation he has induced many to consume these articles regularly, \Vhenever he was seen to approach the restaurant there was a flurry amon the waiters tosecure him. He always paid his bills throush the waiter, who retained the chauge when it was the fraction of a dollar, Mr. Mitchell has many of the traits of Mr. Mulier, and is never so well plensed as when the crowd of guests about him is Inres His lunches aré extensive, and include wines, ete. Mr. Mitchell is very wealthy, and has his means largely invested in manufactories and banks, e is one of thebest business men in all New England, 1s small of stature, medium-sizea minaie-aged, and is one of the very few who has refused a continuance in_public lite beeause he pre- terred to do better ontside of it Like Mr. Muller, he is very good nature, Mr. Muller 15 fifty-one years o, weizhs 210 pounds, and is one ot those thoroughbred Dutchiman everybody likes. e Senator Allison, o1 1owa, who is very fre quently and favorably mentioned as the publican presidential candidate” next year, has been referred to by his colleagues of late asone who has aged considerably during thie past two or three years, The observation has been made through misapprehension, Senator Allison will be fifty-eight vears old ou the 14th of next month, and is probably the best preserved man of his age inall con gress. He is about five feet ten in he weighs probably 105 pounds, wears a beard that'is tull, excepting on the lip which is shaven, and althongl it is eloscly cropped there is hut little of the white in it, 11is hair is lightly sprink’ed with silver, and his only dissipation is in smoking cigars. He is temperate in labits, but does ot make temperance o hobby, s that he 1s popu with all moderate-tiinking people, as wel the most strict in creed. I'hiere is no man in all the senate who d more business than Mr, Allison, not exee ing Mr. Sherman, who is president pr temnpore. My, Allison is ¢ rman of the committee on approprintions, which has the greatest amount of routine as well as gen- eral work of any kind of the committecs. All of the work has his personal supervision, and it would not be stranze if the cares which devolve upon him caused him to wrinkle his brow and look a little aged at times, Of all the men in_congress 1 am eom to visit daily for intol fon and I favor none is found who mamtains his good natnre so uniformiy as Mr. Allison. He is never impatient or impetuous, and the members of his committee are never known toen-age him in wrangles or disputes, One of them, in diseussing the probability of Mr. Allison'being the president nominee said : “Although I a demoerat, I don’t know anv man 1 would rather approach in the white house than Mr. Atlison.

Senator Malione is scarcely’ more than five feet and a half in heizht, and at best but tiits the beam at 100, yet it is stated that he has come under that weight since his labors in the last eampaign in the *Old Dominion. hair, whieh™ is heavy, usually has thinned considerably on tl own of his head and whitened a’great deal, while his long, full beard, has grown threc-quarters gray. Few men before the public have had more thrilling lives than this zame little senator. His whole connection during the war, when he so gallantly led the confederates to con- quest, and_contributed so largely of money and time and peril to the success of a_ cause lie has since devoted himself to eradicate, is intensely thrilling, His political campaigns have been fully as exeiting as those he con- ducting during the war. Altiough he was ated at the polls in the last two fichts he he is not yet conquered, and declares he will come to'the front again and return to the senate. A few ?l‘.u‘* ag0 Senator Ma- hone was prett sh to those who came in contact with him, but his increasing age seews to have dealt with his temper quite as telling with his personal appearance. He has grown mild-mannered. nniversally cour- teous and consequently is more popular. ‘T'he senator is quite as picturesque in dress as ever,but there Is something about Lis man- ner which is more striking to those who see him daily, and those who have watehed him closely fora series of years, He is a ble skeleton, His eyes have becoms deep-seated, his character is shown in every lineament of his tace, and he seems to | lost sight of himself and become en No one on the floor of the s a more deep interest in the work, and none understand more thoroughly the measures pending and passed than he, -~ Se ator Mahone will retirs from the senate few days, and John W.
