LADIES SPoRT IN BERLIN.-The Ber-
lin correspondent of the Boston Ttarclltr
thus notices very pleasant winter pas
time in that city.
The ladies have skates which can be
laced to their feet like gaitsr boots, and
as some of them have eviden' 'ly had years
of practice, it is one of the most beautsfnl
of sights to see them gliding, and as it were,
waltzlng over the clear ice-sometimes
arm in arm with gentleman, or hand in
hand, they move rapidly from one side of
the pond to the other. Sometimes whole
band together, keeping time, waltz back
and forth. A father and his daughter
brothers and sisters-young men and their
wives-little girls and boys-are gliding
about in every conceivable figure while
the shore is lined with ladies and gentle
men, who, standing or sitting in their car
rlages, are looking on the sport, or perhaps
they get on sled, and are pushed by some
gentleman out upon the pond into the
midst of the skaters. Such an animating,
living, exhilerating scene does not often
present itself in America.

"A HORSE WHO DISLIKEs ToB.CCo.-Mr-
Dawson, of the Albany Evening journal,
wfo is travelling in England, visited the
princely estate of the Marquis ofWestmin-
ster. His income is found hundred thous-
and pounds a year, Or $4,000 per day.
Dawson went into his stables, and met
with the following indignant reception from
an aristocratic horse. He says:-
The celebrated horse "Touchstone, :" for
which the Marquis refused $4,000 many
years ago, was the chief attraction. He is
now 20 years Of age, and dark brown. He
is conceded to be the best horse in the
world, and now commands an income Of
1900 guineas per annum. An incident
occurred, as we entered his stable, worth
mentioning. We had hardly crossed the
threshold, when he gave signs of displeas-
ure: Our guide inquired whether any of
us had been smoking. None of us had
been recently, but we had cigars in our
pockets; and that, we were assured, was
the cause of offence to the horse. AS proof
oft, the keeper held cigar toward him,
when he manifested great displeasure. He
was only quieted by the removal of what 80
singularly (?) offended him.
