GENERAL LoNasTREET N NEW YoRK.-A

an hours conversation with General Long

two weeks in New York, solely on business.
He did not expect to be detained 80 long, but
the matters demanding his attention are now
nearly settled and he will soon retnrn to New
Orleans. BE has been visited by number Of
prominent gentlemen, among them several
who desired to talk politics, with him, but on
this subject he has preferred to say little. 1
am surprised to find man Of his fame 80
youthful in appearance. He,odoess not look
over forty-fve; his cheeks, full and with hout a
wrinkle, are as ruddy as boys, and tb ough
his hair and the beard on the lower part cf his
face are Literally sprinkled with gray, he has
all the appearance Of o man in the very mid
summer Of life. He converses In low clear
tone, giving his views in plain, concise senten-
ces, and in manner 80 unobstrusive TINT the
person he addresses can hardly imagine he is
listening to the famous General Longstreet A
moments conversation with him shown that
he is q true gentleman, and man possessing

doubt the wisdom Of hia political views, but
hls unselishness and sincerity should not be
questioned Speaking Of my impre ssione
alone, without implying anything in the oon-

Once Week. a well.known London. pull

Once Week, wel-known London publ
cation, has some hints to sportsmen in late
number. It describes especially the proper
dress, and says: GAS to the covering; OF the
feet, let all idea OF keeping out the wet be
abandoned, and with it the clumsy jack boot
that comes above the knee. A short sort OF
Wellington boot, with thick sole, and stiff,
well-dressed leather top, large enough to ad-
NIT of the trowsers being tucked inside, is
perhaps as good for the purpose as eny that
can be devised; but so long as freedom is se-
cured to the foot and leg and the boot is strong,
it matters not in the least Of what shape it is.
AS regards the rest Of the costume, a stout,
easy-6tting suit, with coat and waiscoat lined
with flannel, should be worn, and by all means
a SOU -wester'-not the wretched substitute
palmed off upon the unwary as a much lighter
article and called sometimes the shepherds

is the most independent head dress that can
be worn, for it protacts against all weather
and the stronger the wind, the more closely il
adheres to the head"
