Northern Correspondence.

New YORK Feb. %, 1913.
Friends Of the Crescent As cannot but be supposed
that you and your readers will like hear from New York
and the gongs on and turnngs up here, will cen indte
this present episte, sort of nest egg for the future We
all look with great interest TO New Orleans for the "
news which forms such staple in the papers nowadays
and am not without hopes that your CREsCENT" y will
be wide awake with Spghy contemporaries of the Picay
and Delta, procuring and publishing these eagerly
soughtfor items Though, if accounts speak truth, the
is likely to be over and in its place shall have piping
times OF peace. But in any event, the from Mexico
must be interesting to US United Statese for many seasons
to comeand perhaps more interesting still, if this much
talked of treaty gets ratified Washington and put IN force
between the two g high contracting parties
We have had no great excitement here lately upon any
topic The greatest interest centres around the conflict
ing houses OF Cayte and Taylonesand also Banburners
and Old unker As to the pazans of Clay in and about
New York city, q among the wings and active poti
clans they certainly outnumber the Tayotes fifteen
speak, of course of the simple fact being politician
myelf The great Clay meeting lately held here at Castle
Garden showed that fact concusivey. But then Gen iay
or has large of friends among the powerful body who
occupy neutral ground in polcs-a body too large and
influential to be passed sightingy 1t remains to be
seen what turn the wheel will take between these cand
dates who certainly, the present time, TO stand in
each others We had Taylor meeting here last night
in large tent the ground formerly occupied by Nblos
Garden. Though the night stormy, it is calculated
that three thousond persons present
The between the BambuneTs and Hunkers RACES with
unabaed bitterness except that the crafty the
latter faction gradually Withdrawing themselves from
their identification with what must be considered falling
house Every with New York politics must
be that the young democracy have four-fhs OF
their party with them and most of the ambition talent and
desire for pos too. If there be truth in signs, John
Van Buren, will cut larger figure before the good folk
of this land than ever his papa did if his life be spared
In literature we have nothing very important The
TIapes their weekly budget of books Bsua-con
prsng the best and cheapest of language Lamatnes
Grondists " much talked Of and deservediy 1t IS
work OF surprising power; and the great Cliff street im
have printed it right handsomely. One OF yonr southern
writers, SHINES has written life of the good knight with
out and without reproach the Cheyaer Bayard which
the farpers have also lately issued. Their Pictorial Eng
land" one of the nobe and most useful historical compo-
on any language, completed and forms one of
the unquesone standards both history and as speci
Of printing.
The Theatres here are doing pretty good business Horses
and yet have possession OF the Park Our beautiful
Broadway Theatre Chat choicest OF dramatic temples in the
Western hemsphere) has engaged Mr.. w. r. Blake for
week or two The house looks as bright, and rs
Portable as ever arrng the tawdry gilt and crimson figures
that are made to hold the chandeliers front of the second
e-a nuisance that almost pos the classic appearance of
the housel The other Theatres doing fair business
We are confidently expecting visit here from Mr. Clay.
If he comes will write you of his reception.
