MS yOu will perceive, of Mrs. Langtry, except IN
the purely public character and functions when
she either assumes or permits Others to impose upon
her. have drawn upon no knowledge may nave
acquired within any four walls where the sanctity
of private life is-or once was-presumed to be en-
shrined Nor do mean to do so. But may mem
ton that once met this wonderful creature at
breakfast which had so much Of a non-private
character that my host assured me was quite at
liberty TO say anything liked about anybody who
was there. He assured me further that no com
plments to Mrs. Langtry's charms would be III
received, and he OF somebody else added that IL
was a safe if not an indispensable topic of CONVEX
sation with Mrs. Langtry herself. Having n per-
mission so wide as this may perhaps remark that
Mrs Langtrys beauty by daylight is at least equal
to her beauty as seen in the glare of wax lights.
What you will say of her in America can't pre-
diet but il is certain that one secret of her attroc-
tiyeness IN England may be found in the extreme
dclicacy of her loneliness. Travelling Britons say
that this delicacy is more common in the United
states than here. Mrs Langtry's complexion has
stood the wear and tear of London life and late
hours and Oyer-heated rooms, and the peach bloom
on her checks does not fade, nor viii 1t rub OIL
She once offered her handkerchief TO a gentleman
who was sceptlca on this point, and asked MN 10
try. The modelling of the temples is singularly
fine the arch Of the brow delicate; the eyes are
sapphire-bue, set in an orb of tender curve; the
hair which is soft brown, is worn low enough over
the forehead TO mark the contrast Of color with the
eyes and when this lady is amused her laughter
gives animation to her countenance that is some
times wanting. The face has faults which 1t is easy
to crticlse but the beauty of it as whole is be-
yond denial 1t is OF of her portraits that
| ought to say all this, but the original is so much
IL. md
stantly on exhibition, that it seemed more con-
venient to speak Of that. For the liberty take
not being photographer-I offer the humblest
excuses. G. W. 8.

THE RIGHT To LEASE FULTON MARKEE

Corporation Counsel Whitney yesterday sent an
opinion to the Sinking Fund Commissioners in re-
gard to Fulton Market. He says the Commissioners
have full power to sell or lease the property. but
1.-THE sale or lease must be for the highest marketa
BILE price or rental and must be made at public
auction, or by sealed bids, and after public adver-
tisement and appraisal, under the direction of the
BOARD. As GIestion of power the right to take
portion of the building for stores would involve the
right to use the whole of it for that purpose. | am
of the OPINION therefore that it is not IN the power
of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund insert
as a condition in any lease which may be made of
the Fulton Market property permission to erect, on
n portion of such property along Futon-st., stores
for the retail of general merchandise; and l think
that such use of the property would not be using
il for the purposes of public market"
The opinion further states that the Commits
sioper5 have no authority TO bind the city to pay
for Che building at the expiration of the lease.

HORSE STEALING IN THE WEST.

TIE RED CLOUD BAND PLUNDERED By WHITE MEN.
lGESERAL PRESS DIsPATCHl
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Interior Department
is to-day in receipt Of official information that
white men have stolen about seven hundred horses
from the Indians at the Red Cloud Agency, and run
them across the Nebraska line, during the past few
weeks The State authorities are doing nothing to
prevent similar raids upon the property of the
Indians, and the military authorities, on account
of the posse comitatus law of last year, stand by
without iutercepting or pursuing the marauders,
although the stolen horses are driven right past
Camp Sheridan and Camp Robinson on the way to
market or TO the horse thieves corTals The Indian
Agent having 10 armed force at his command is
poweTess to stop the depredaions, and for the
present they seem likely to continue. The Indians,
Notwithstanding their keen sense of injury, mani
fest no SYMPTOMS of lnsubordiuation, but remain
entirely peaccable and are beginning to devote
themselves To farming. The Spotted ial Indians;
WITHIN the past two years, have lost several
thousand horses III the same way
