New Attractions for the Central Park

The New York Historical Society is about
to give the most gratifying proof of being
alive to the interests of art and of the pub
lie improvement. According to the Ersn-
ing Post it proposes to establish. in the Cen
trial Park a Museum of History. Antiqui-
ties, and Art.
By an act of the legislature of the State
of New fork, the Central Park Commits
sioners are authorized to set apart, and ap-
propriate to the Historical Society such
portion of the grounds lying near the Fifth
avenue, between Eighty-frst and Eighty
fourth streets, as may be required for the
museum.
The plan contemplates the removal of
the rich treasures of the society from the
building in the Second avenue, which has
long been too small for their proper dispo-
sition and display, to a new and larger
building in the Park, where, under proper
restrictions, they shall be readily accessible
to the public.
In the department of history the collec-
tons of manuscripts, maps, charts, news
papers, COINS and medals, will make most
conspicuous and interesting feature.
In the department Of antiquities the
Abbott collection Of Egyptian memorials,
the Nineyeh sculptures presented by Mr.. ].
Lenox, and the numerous relics of the abo.
rhymes of the American continent, will at
tract great attention. These valuable curl
osities have long remained packed in the
society's present buildings, for want OF
space to open them for exhibition.
The department of art is that which will
prove the most popular with the visitors in
general, and this will contain at the yer,
beginning, the we'll known collection of the
New York Gallery of the Fine Arts, the
Bryan collection, and the Audubon colec-
ton, constituting the nucleus of gallery
which, in time, we may confidently hope
will be worthy of the city, and of the beau
tiful pleasure ground in which it will be
placed.
The New York Historical Society, in tax.
ing this step, has entitled itself to the hearty
support Of this community and to the thanks
of the lovers Of art throughout the United
States.

The Charge of Fashions Light Brigade.
BY HARRIET sMEAD.

Half block, half block,
Half block onward,
Down the grand avenue
Swept the six hundred:
Coward the Light Brigade!
Break for the stores" they said
Into temptations jaws
Swept the six hundred.
Onward the Light Brigade!
Was there belle dismayed?
No! though each damsel knew
Her dimes were numbered;
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to dress or die
Into the gates of pride
Swept the six hundred.
Laces to the right of them,
Satins to the left of them,
Velvets in front of them,
Quietly slumbered.
Stormed they with greenback shells,
Deeply they charmed the swells;
Down through the dusty streets,
Down into Fashions hell
Swept the six hundred.
In triumph their ribbons there
Waved on the perfumed air;
Each daughter of a millionaire
Counted her suitors, while
All her friends wondered.
Plunged into Fashions whirl,
On thro' the dance they twirl,
While the poor maiden,
Dazed by the flash of gems,
Thought she had Numbered;
Sad she returned, but not
Yet the six hundred.
Dandies to the right Of them,
Dandies to the left of them,
Dandies in front Of them,
Simper'd and wondered;
Stormed their false rinGlets well
While rouge and powder fell
Badly they wished to sell.
They woke from their festal dreams,
Came from their bathrooms pale
All the unwedded ones
Of the six hundred.
How brightly they were arrayed!
How can their glory fade
How can their bills be paid?
Their fathers all wondered.
Remember the charge they made,
And honor the Light Brigade
Lovely six hundred!

PRESSLAN CRUELTY.

The following story of Prussian cruelty
thority of a staff officer of General Picard,
who claims to have escaped through the Prus-
sian lines on the day ofthe surrender of Metz.
On the day before the surrender, he says,
lat two o'clock in the afternoon a compact
mass of unarmed people of Metz swarmed
through the western gates of the city into the
plain. They were of all ages and ranks in
life. and OF both sexes, and numbered nearly
or quite ten thousand persons. At the head
marched man and Il woman, the latter car
rying white flag. In the rear were hundreds
of children all carrying little white flags, be-
hind them moved Il strong body of French
troops, pressing them forward into the plain.
1t is stated that these unhappy people were
expelled because there was not food for them,
and that they were thus moving forth solely
to seek the means OF saving themselves from
death within the walls. As they approached
a Prussian orderly was seen to ride to the
front. ordering the outposts to fire on the
mass. The people still advanced. When
they came within range the Prussians fired
upon them. Sill the people moved on, the
man and woman in the front with the white
flag moving more rapidly. The man suddenly
fell, struck by a bullet. The woman, way
ing her flag. continued to advance. the chill
drcn meanwhile screaming most piteously
The fire of the Prussians was kept up de-
liherately and steadily. As if upon an armed
column. The woman fell with her flag. The
man wavtrcd, for moment, then the crow d
TUNED and led in the most horrible disorder,
struggling, falling and involved in an mex
tricable confusion of the dead and dying and
the tugitivcs. Still the PrusSan fire grew
constantly hotter. The French troops advanc-
ing to the front closed around the helpless
mass Of the flying citizens, and terrible
fusilade began on both sides. The spectacle
became devlish in its horror. The road was
strewn with the bodies of women and children.
The forts of lie Nilleux and Les Bottles pour
ed shells and shot upon the Prussians till the
last fugitive had disappeared, and the French
troops slowly fell back, the motley crowd hur-
rying in all directions around the city walls
and in at the different gates. They trooped
from all sides through the streets and flung
themselves down. children carrying bundles.
