Mr.. Vanderbilts tastes, as you know,
are fleshly. A glance at his tlabby face
would disclose that, if you didn't know it
already. Good eating, good drinking,
good smoking and jolly, coarse compan-
ions are his chief desire, and in them he
finds his sole enjoyment. He loves to
drive upon the road. Always careful of
his personal comfort, he has provided
from his fathers millions the most eX-
persive and fastest teams in the country.
He incases his long, huge frame in mag
niticent sealskIn garments, literally from
top to toe, and il is estimated
that his entire "git up and git" would
bring at auction any day not less than $780,
600. This includes his team, their har-
ness, his cutter, his clothes, his diamond
pms and hisIcarcass, provided life had left
it, and his two hundred and more millions
were divided among his heirs. This after
noon about O'Clock he started from his
Fourth avenue stables, built very cOnsid-
erably In the very heart of his neighbOrs'
residences, and far away removed from
his own house on Fifth avenue, with his
Si50,000 rig. OF course he could not go
up Fourth avenue, any more than any of
the rest of us could, so he went up Lex
ingtOn and turned into the park by the
usual road. AS he did so he passed a
group of common people" They were
mechanics, artisans, labOrers, They had
been standing on the corner, commenting
upon his order directing their discharge.
AS Vanderbilt passed his fat lips, which
are always curled as if in disdain at men
whose fathers didn't die rich, pulled like
a balloon suddenly filled with oxygen,
and a scarcely perceptible movement of
the reins started his team into a rapid
trot. The Press would not print what /
heard on that occasion, The oaths, the
curses, the blasphemies, the predictions,
the threats would not be pretty reading
matter on Sunday morning in any circle
to which the Press is a welcome conner.
No slippered papa would permit mis- chill
dren's ears to listen to the pronounced
and wicked words of these common peo-
pie" Young ladies seeking information
as to the costumes in Wallack's latest
play, would turn up their noses and throw
the paper down in disgust, were they to
see those words in print. And yet this is
q cold winter.

L. Drown, Rector of st. PauPs
Episcopal Church. in this city, who
severed his connection with his people
to-day, having accepted call TO the pas
tOrate Of a church in southern city:
The reverend gentleman omitted the usual
morning service and simply read the les
son for the communion. He told his
hearers that by reason of a great atfilctlOn
which had suddenly come upon him he
was unable to conduct the morning ser
vice. After the singing of the hymn,

with feelings of the deepest emotion, de-
livered the following address:
