Fashion in New York.

Despite all the croaking about hard
times, says q correspondent, New York
is very gorgeous this winter. The
turnouts on the avenue and in the park
are AZ brilliant as ever, and even more
SO. Sales of extravagantly costly furni-
ture are as frequent as ever. and the
great jewellers and expensive dress peo-
pie are doing more than their usual
business. The fact is, the society
woman in New York refuses to recog-
nize the existence of hard times. She
considers it the duty of the man who
undertakes the contract of supporting
her to furnish her with what she wants
just as freely one year as another. If
the poor fellow pleads embarrassment
and bad business. she answers, "What
is that to me? know nothing about
your horrid stocks. I do know that 1
want that diamond necklace, and will
have it, And she generally gets it,
for several reasons. A man always
stands in awe of a very handsome ard
very fashionable woman, and besides a
great many New Workers have discov-
cred hat it is very good thing to have
$50 200 or $10O, loco diamonds an
such things, which belong to his wife,
to fall back upon. This is the secret of
very much of the extravaganza that is
seen in the public places of the city.
The poor feel the hard times, and those
supposed to be rich may also, but the
latter don't show it if they do. The
theatres are filed nightly; the parties
were never more brilliant or expensive.
OF course smashes without number will
occur bat they are having a good time
while they can. This is the very center
of Vanity Fair.

War Heres.

War horses when hit in battle, trem-
BILE in every muscle, and groan deeply,
while their eyes show deep astonish-
ment. During the battle of Waterloo,
some of the horses, as they lay upon
the ground, having recovered from the
first agony of their wounds, fell to eat
ing grass about them, thus surround
ing themselves with. a circle of bare
ground, the limited extent of which
showed their weakness. Others were
observed quietly grazing on the field
between the two hostile lines, their
riders having been shot off their backs !;
and the balls flying over their heads,
and the tumult behind, before, and
around them, caused no interruption to
the usual instinct of their nature. It
was observed that when charge of cav
airy went past near to any of the stray
horses already mentioned they would
start off for themselves in the rear of
their mounted companions, and though
without riders, gallop strenuously
along with the rest, not stopping or
fn ching, when the fatal shock with the
enemy took place.
At the battle of Kirk, in 1745, Major
Macdonald, having endorsed an English
officer, took posi- essiOn of his horse
which was very beautiful, and immedi-
ately mounted it. When the English
cavalry fed the horse ran away with
his captor, notwithstanding all his
efforts to restrain him, nOr did it stop
until it was at the head of the regiment
of which, apparently, its master was the
commander. The melancholy, and at
the came time ludicrous figure which
Macdonald presented when he thus
