A Winter Seen in Paris.

As passed through the Champs Elysee
with my despatch, a feature Indicative of the
season and its supposed continuity, met my
eve. Several ladies the French wosld per-
haps call them amgzons defiant of the snow
the atmosphere by its thick and
heavy fakes, were amusing themselves in
charioteeling sleighs of slight but graceful
conformation, drawn by one horse, whose
head was ornamental with crimson plumes,
aud on whose gear the music of bells rung
chesrily, as, answering to the lash of his
fair cORiac'sur, he sprang forward and darted
up and down the broad avenue Some half
dozen of these spirited danes who, thus de-
termined to astOnish the world with noble
horsemanship, sparkled like children of the
mist, amids the cold and pelting element,
and diverted by their skillful gyrations many
a solitary individual from contemplating his
own cherries, miserable lot, as, blown by the
wind, saturated by the snow, and tripped up
by the slippery surface, he staggered on his
bleak and wintry passage. Who and what
these Ariels were, whose joyous laugh and
cracking thong thus beguiled stern Februa-
ry of his stormy pride, have no means of
knowing. In Paris one witnesses so many
strange scenes that surprise ceases to be, after
a time. an emotion of the human mind, and
whether they were fair scions Of that aristoc-
racy which the revolutionary lamentations of
France have heaved up the surface from their
long neglected bed of rest, or the Mogadors,
who, one day the cynosure of all eyes at the
Hippodrome. on the next dispense ubiquitous
smiles, and change their loves with the sun,
know not. Thus much / only aver, that,
the ease with which they handled the rib
bons," and the stern grace with which they
applied the singing lash. was the theme OF
general admiration. Instead. however, Of be-
ing the messengers Of natures fixed resolve TO
confirm and strengthen our icy chains, they
proved to be, in all probability, the bright, but
fading, geRii of departing winter. Long be-
fore night had gathered all to their homes
and snug firesides, the snow had changed its
character, and become rain. and the next morn
ing, instead Of CLASSY railroad on which i'm
perial and Amazonian personsges might shoot
along before the eyes Of admiring spectators,
there was nothing to be seen but mountains oil
blackened snow, and mud, in one intermina-

lee MONOPOLY IN NEW YoRK.-The ag-
gregate quantity of ice cut and stored for the
New York market, next summer is 100000
tuns. A few dealers monopolze this, and
have agreed, in secret conference, to sell it at
from thirty to fifty cents cwt, which places
is beyond the reach of the poor. Last year,
though the supply of ice was 20 per cent.
less, it was vended at eighteen and even at If
teen cents a cwt. The people, indignant at
the imposition of monopolists, have petition
ed the Legislature to charter the Brooklyn
Ice Company, which is to issue stock to the
amount of $4,000, which privilege of in
creasing to $4,000. The shares are so
each. Thus each ice consumer may be a
stakeholder.

RUSSIAN SEREAGE.-It may not be known
to peace agitators that the prolongation of the
Eastern war will have a decided tendency to
abrogate serfage. According to an inviolable
law OF Russia, the peasant who has served as
soldier ceases to be a serf Through sue
cessive campaigns the Car will draught into
the army most of the present generation. The
survivors will return free men, with the right
to claim portion of land in their native val
ley. Through similar means the servitude
Of the peasantry of Hungary was abolished.
Even the tyrant of Austria dared not set
aside that statute of the constitution.
