FASHIONABLE DANCEs-Thus dscourses that
complshed man of the world, NJ de Trobrand, in his
brilliant Gossip of the Week." for the New York
Courier des Etats Unis:
Dancing has always been passion in New York:
By always, mean since New York has been one OF
the civilized worlds great cities Before that, it is
possible that the knckerbOckers and Yankees under
stood pretty well how to hop about at the sound Of
the violin. But pique myself on knowing nothing
of that-not belonging, thank heaven, to the gene
ration who still remember when they shot snipe IN
the marshes which are now Canal street. 1t is since
that period that the dance has become nationality
in which America has quite surpassed Europe.

fishes and the rest all mportations from over the
water. But it is equally true that the importers dc
not bring them from the fashionable circles Of Paris

over the inside Of his hat he again turned it, and re-

his hand on the cushion he slid the hat and its con-
tents off, and commenced his dinner The attention
of my friend rresisby directed towards the hat
and his surprise greatly increased, the reader may
well imagine, on observing the head of sizeable
snake thrust out and looking sharply about him. The
