OF STOCKS,
| cannot say anything that you do not al
ready know. They are sunk far too deeply
in the mire Of contempt and depression to
be thought Of with other feelings thar one
Of disgust, and the public mind is becom-
ing so imbued with distrust regarding them,
that ! cannots see any CLEANS of hope ahead,
without the ''bulls" enter the lists and
rescue them from their present deplorable
plight. But, what is the use They will
give them a lift with their horns, only for
the purpose Of tossing them like shuttle
cocks, as has been their wont, between
their own and their opponents battledors.
OF THE WEATHER,
1t is only necessary to say that it is super
latiyely wet, chilly and bad facts which
do not at all contribute to ones enjoyment
of metropolitan life. To see the face of
the god Of day is to cause one to rejoice;
and with muddy streets and lachrymal
clouds, one is in a constant fever Of dis
satisfaction. The rain and liquid mud
prevailing, however, do not deter the fair
danes and demoiselles, who haunt the gal
leries of the stock exchanges, and anathem-
ize stocks when down, and praise them
when up, from appearing on the streets,
to exhibit what a world of encbantment
Is associated with rubbers, mud-bedraggled
skirts and a blue umbrella. But, with all the
disagreeable weather, the stores and fashion
bazaars appear to be well patronized. So
are the theaters, the art galleries, the walk
ing and bicycle exhibitions, and
the thousand and one other places
at which one can spend his money.
AS THE HOLIDAYS APPROACH
Increased interest appears to become re-
viyed in matters Of art, such as paintings,
elegantly bound books fit to grace the cen
ter table, rare and costly jewelry, bric-a-
brac, articles of virtu, fancy toys to amuse
young America, and, in fact, everything
within the range Of thought or fancy Which
money can purchase. Everything has its
price here; even virtue and manhood are
purchasable commodities. The usual
Christmas auction sales are, as a matter Of
course, in full blast. On the shelves and
counters Of n place are displayed the
treasures OF literature in paper, cloth,
library half and full Russia binding; and
ranging from the latest trashy society novel
to works Of the highest excellence and
most distinguished authorship--the inim-
liable critical essays Of Maoaulay, the in
comparable productions Of Byron, Scott,
Burns, Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tenny-
son, Moore, Goldsmith, Swift, Stearns,

French TRANSACTIONS, together with an ex-
teasive collection Of the most fascinating
and instructive OF all literature, celebrated
biographies.
AT ANOTHER PLACE
Is exhibited for auction and inspection
pictures Of every degree Of excellence. en-
bracing rural. marine, mountain and other
picturesque landscape scenes, in water
colors and otherwise. Some Of these go 50
cheap that the marvel is how they can be
produced for the price, they being not only
large but Of excellent finish and richly
framed. But as to their merit as works Of
art, I don't bEow that / can speak with
equal exaetEess, because, in however dis
paraging a light IL may place me, l am
honest enoulth 10 confess that | am but an
indifferent connoisseur, and probably could
not distinguish a Titan from a Michael
Angelo. The last named old chap excelled,
| believe, more in the use Of the sculptor's
ehisel than he did in the use Of the paint
er's brush, and / believe the work of his
now existing which would demonstrate
him a great painter is his picture of the
Last Supper" done in fresco on the CELL
ing Of, I think, the Cestne chapel at Rome.
IN THE FASHIONS,
Everything is, Of course, in the Flora
McFlimsey style Of nothing to wear"
and the patterns and colors most worn
would put to shame Joseph's coat, and
fill the mind of a Pluto maiden with
envy. But lovely woman, at least here,
arrays herself in so outre a manner, thai
