Furrriers and the Fur Trade.

4 review of the fur trade for the year
1874 shows that furriers and fur dealers
suffered with all other business men from
the financial troubles of 1874. The names
of several strange animals figure on the
price lists of fur dealers sent only to the
trade, such US those of the skunk" and
the "opossum." The first named animal
usually goes under an alias and his fur is
quite well-known to the public as "black
marten." The effect of fashion on the
value OF fur-bearing animals is strikingIy
illustrated by the changing value Of
different parts of the fur of the Siber
ian sQuirrel-fuctuations of which the
animal is happily ignorant. The aver
age value of the back fur of this squirrel
used to be twenty cents; Of the belly fur,
FIVE cents, and of the tail fur, two cents.
But boas became fashionable and now
the belly is worth more than the back,
and the tail more than the whole hide,
A few years ago ermine and Russian
sable enjoyed the greatest popularity, but
now there is no sale for the former, and
but little demand for the latter. Full
seal skins Of prime grade and
high luster are in great de.
mand. Seal has been out of fashion for
thirty years, and the generation Of work
men able to properly prepare it has
passed away. The art of ''unhuirlng,
dyeing and thoroughly cleaning the fur
seal was not lost, but the laborers had to
be educated anew. Fur seal skins are
now prepared in this country superior
to any that have been recently imported.
The operation of "unhairing' and of
dyclng is a long and tedious one. The
dye stuff is applied with a brush once a
day for from fifteen to thirty days, or
until the color has become sufficiently
deep and dark, and the skin must then
be thoroughly cleaned.

The Carnival Gayety OF Paris---six
Pretty American Girls.
Arsene Houssaye's Letter TO the
York Tribune.

Arsene Houssaye's Letter TO the New
York Tribune.
Paris dances, waltzes and whirls. II
dresses and undresses it makes itself
handsome and ugly; it laughs or grimaces
according to the luck of the evening;
running from the Elvsee to the Opera
Ball, from the Faubourg st. German to
the Champs Elysees, chasing gayety
until it is out of breath. 1t is not ut the
Elysee Palace that gayety is found. Har-
mony has not yet been established in the
gay world since 1870. You are sure
of meeting there the first prizes in
painting, women beautifully colored and
enameled, but society is occupied IN hid
ing and seeking at once; there is the Or
leanest corner, the Legitimist corner, the
Septennalist the Imperialist and the
Radical There is one place where all
get on well togcther-at the buffet. But
how far we are from the fetes of the
good -natured tyrant Napoleon III. Paris
is in its full tide of carnival folly. Jean
Jacques said that gayety was half the
daily bread of Paris. His bread was
always black-almost all the bread was
black hundred years ago. Now every
body's bread is white, but gaycty is no
longer half the daily bread of Paris.
The opera continues thronged. Women
of every circle would like to have it the
fashionable saloon, but they do not dare
to venture into the foyer, which is the
only room that is really habitable. 1t is
pity, for they would be better judged
there ill their grace, their attitude, their
freedom of movement. A woman seated
shows only half her beauty, whatever be
the charm of her face. For this reason
the amateurs of art, who say that women
are worth more than statues, never fail to
be on the grand staircase when the
ladies descend. The day before
yesterday the great success belonged
to six Young Americans who
occupied the entire coLonne opposite
the notorious Madame Musard, herself
an American, consolidated with diamonds
There was never seen in one box such a
bouquet of young girls, so pretty in the
aureole Of their twenty years. There
were blondes and brunes, laughing and
sentimental coqucttish and ingenious, all
with those American eyes which outvie
the most precious stones. 1t was a battle
of beauty. One would have said they
were there to defy the women of France
and vanQuish them on their own chosen
field. There was danger that the new
building would take fire, like the old. If
it had, it could have been built twice as
fine with halt the money.

The bill for the Removal of the

Another Richmond was placed in

for Senator and received tbirty-two
votes. Walker got twenty-three,
Price sixteen, and the balance were
