ing nine pine made elegant and sentiments
beforehand il may justly be looked upon one o
the best evidences Of the march Of civilization in thu
nineteenth century
Another striking event which took place yester
day was the debut Of the celebrated poodle dog, tbs
tavorte OF the Countess at the dinner table Of Con
gress Hall This animal is very sensible creature
ano mas much more sagacity than many of the young
roues OF the day He dimes delicate bits Of roast
chicken without salt or pepper, and in this respec
oiners entirely from my tastes. The behavior oil the
poodle at table is perfect model for all the fashion
able young men of the day. He never talks imPer-
t'hentiy, or silly, or fiat, or inspd, or without
purpose. When he is gay and jovia ne simply say
"bow-wow -wow," with the accent on-when ne Is
grave and philosophical, il is also "bow-wow-"o"'
with the accent off On no occasion yet, so lar is
can learn, has he incontinenty let slip growi or
bark-and in this respect he is far more manneriy
than many of the passe dowagers ana 'adea oefies
who are continually growing at every thing around
them, because they cant command the intense admi-
ration which they did when they were full OF YOUTH
blood beauty and elegance.

Private carriages and horses are as plenty as pacK
berries. have only seen few yet-but oil thesc

superb-a splendid carriage, with his crest on the
pannels, drawn by fonr blood horses. He drove out
yesterday, as l have already mentioned, as far as
Barhyte's, and took with him one of the most re-
markable women Of the present day. For ten years
she has been regning belle in Europe and America,
and is as young and fresh in her spirits she was
when only beautiful girl Of fifteen the banks OF the
Kentucky river. In Italy she was called the Indian
princess, or the American queen-and her person and
manners Justly entitled her to the spontaneous dis
tnction. In the party the beautiful Mrs. G. of
New York rode on horseback, accompanied by a
gallant young gentleman, formerly Commodore in
the Brazilian navy. Mrs. G.. is decidedly Of the
most beautiful women sojourning at Congress
Hall. Her form-her igure-her face-thc radiant
sweetness of that face-her easy graceful, quiet air,
are all Of the first order
have not said much, as yet, Of the fashionable
you, 9 men here-but l mean to have general cut
ting up Of these animals before close. never
such focks as are now here-one half Of them the
purest blockheads in Christendom.
