SOCIAL LIFE IN LARGE CITIEs-especaily
the city of New York, draws out the following
from correspondent of the Boston Transcript.
There is truth as well as satire, in il:
"The advent of the "season" with it's in
evltable concomitants of new dresses, recep-
tions, parties, etc., has induced renewal of
the stereotyped subject of family discussion in
Contamination VS.. Finances, Extravaganza
vs. Income. The simple fact is that every
year increases the cost of living-as living is
understood in this latitude by the votaries of
SOCIAL ambition. So many of our citizens are
new familiar with life in Europe and in the
country at home that not a few, by virtue oe
comparison, have awoke to the fact that in
New York they pay more and enjoy less than
IN any other metropolis in the world. There
Is strong feeling of Recessity of reform;
only people of absolute wealth can meet the
prevalent standard ofexpense requisite 10 en-.
tertain on handsome scale and maintain
fashionable establishment; the consequence is
that some of the most conscientious and the
most gifted have retired from the field. Money
has become social criterion such as we scarce
y recognize in Boston and Washington; par
ties" have degenerated to an institution for
matrimonial speculations; and the mature, the
intelligent, the individuals. whose resources
make them independent of general society, of
which they are notwithstanding the best orna-
ments, have grown indfferent-snd seek at
the club, the opera, over their quiet book or in
some favorite domestic circle, the recreation
they need. Hence to the enlightened foreign
er New York society, in its larger and more
conventional forms, appears intensely material
In purpose and arrangement, and commonplace
or hackneyed in its elements.
"On the other hand the number of interest
ing original and agreeable people one incident
ally meets at unpretending reunions and in
casual visiting, is remarkable; SO that the ano-
mally forces itself upon ones conviction that
here is the richest social material and the most
fashionable exclusiveness, or rather want of
independence land the real cause of this state
of things is the usurpation of more wealth, on
the one hand, and the want of moral courage on
tie other; for if few of our educated ladies'
would set the example of that simple style. of
intellectual prestige which makes the salon
ofa Partisan SaUan, and the home of German
professor represent the legitimate idea of So
clety-there would be a new standard and a
higher taste, as we'll as more wholesale
economy and hygiene in our social life A
better subject for play, novel or sermon
cannot be found than this ever active struggle
between finance and fashion, money and wit
vanity and wisdom"

REMARKABLE FEATs OF MAD DoG.--A dog
