NEW YORK, Nov. 4.

and we are breathing more freely at last.
This man is elected and that man isn't

1t was generally predicted that W
were to have election riots here, and OF
the night preceding the contest at t.,
polls, our police and military authorize
were thoroughly organized and prepare,
in view of such au event. Blt all right

that there was no need of their services
We feel that we have q bad reputation
so long as our cleo .ion-antecedents ar
concerned, and can so much tie NOR

and general good order with which W,
have steeied our way through one of th,

Our floating population - alwayf

the conclusion of the political struggl,
appears to make no perceptible diminu
ton. The hotels are overlooking, the
streets are thronged with strange, eager
faces, and sight-seers from the North,
South, and Far West, who cram oul
places of amusement nightly.
So far as the elegance and costumes
If their outdoor costumes are concerned,
| think the ladies ofNew York this faiI
surpass their usual efforts.
The weather is fine, though chilly,
and every afternoon Broadway and the
fashionable avenues are so thronge(
with elegantly dressed women that one
can scarcely make ones way througn
bewildering seas of tiounces and laLy-
rinths ofpretty forms.
There Is one consolation, however,
and that is the beauty of the women.
Let any one who chances to be scepti-
cal of American women being the .-ost
beautiful in the world take stroll VI
broadway at O'Clock of fine after
noon and he relieved of his incredulity.
They are to be met with in every place.
Here is a shop girl would not
dream that she was shop girl, she is SC
becomingiy attired-whose large, da-k
eyes, perfect complexion, and fine fea-
lures, remind us of the Circassian beau
ties of the East. A crowd follows her.
Her bright hair is loosened, and pours
in unmeshed splendor down below hel
shoulde.s. She is dressed in brOwb
silk suit, and carries her 'Greci II" in
the most ravishing manner. She takes
the eyes o. half the men on the street.
The result may be a g. personal notice
in til. morrow's Herald, or something
worse; but the sweet pict re of t.! e per
feet face is something to live in oui
dreams for a long time after the fac,
owner has var ished in the crowd. Th.
American style of beauty is unique. Ii
has caught the artisan taste in dress
the English dignity OF manner, and the
Spanish grace and ease OF walk and it is
more lovely and CLASSIC than Il of them

In this connection, the latest thing
entire nous in the fashionable world is
the ell pement of Madison Avenue
bale with gambler. They loved no,
wisely, but too well. The young lady
sacrihced everything. Her lover
strange TO say-fOught against his des-
tn told her what he was and had
been, and warned her against the result
OF her attachment. But she persevered.
There was the usual elopement-the
flight from the paternal roof-the meek
marriage-the two or three weeks ofpas.
sionate bliss, and then the young lady
found herself cast upon the mercies of a
cold and heartless world. Notwilh-
standing the entreates Of her parents
she was of age-she entered upon lie
of shame, and must now be numbered
among the unfortunates whose future is
this great city of evil.
You may in your review of our police
reports, soon learn more of this case than
1 can give you at present, but, think,
not less will your pity extended to the
Beautiful Lost"
There is something to say in the way
of newspaper gossip. The report that
John Russei Young is about to resign the
managing editorship of the Tribune is,
l think, without a particle of foundation.
1t is not likely that he would quit after
having systematized his working force
so thoroughly.
Young Jim Bennett is looking well
though somewhat careworn from late
hours and hard work.
Raymond, they say, is going to have
more than usual difficulty with Rose
