BLUE-BLoODED HUssARs.
An attempt was made about year ago
10 organize company Of hussars in this
city, which should be composed entirely
OF the sons OF ricn men, and from which
tradesmen and literary fellows should be
flgldly excluded. Cyrus W. Field, Jr.,
was the moving spirit in the enterprise.
ABOUT forty young men of means were
enlisted, and exercise on horseback and
win sabres was vigorously begun in an
uptown riding academy. Bur a cloud
suddenly arose upon the horizon. 1t was
discovered that the son OF millionaire
Hebrew had found his way among the
exclusive forty, and that he had proposed
the names Of three other young Hebrews
for admission. The latter were at once
blackbaled, and the original Israelite
was as promptly requested to withdraw.
Having accomplished this highly satisfac-
tory act OF eXclusiveuess, the bold hus-
sars fell back upon themselves totally ex-
hausted, and nothing has been heard of
them since. It is supposed they have
abandoned the idea OF doing military duty
10 country which would not allow the
Andre monument to stand quietly upon
its free breast.
ARIsroCRAcY's NEW WRINKLE.
The Astor family have introduced an
other innovation in fashionable high life
which is attracting the attention of all
apprehension just now. One OF the ladies
OF the family appears in Central Park. on
the drives, attended by an outrider. The
new wrinkle smacks so much OF English
snOoOery as to have nearly taken the
| breath away from some of the surprised
democratic plebians, who stood on the
curbstOne and watched the eQnipace and
It's annex roll past. Years ago the in
crease of the riding retinue by the addi-

gossip, but nothing in that line has ever

TWO OF KIND.
The freak of belle that is causing
comment may be seen any fine morning
in Madison avenue. Her pet dog is a
black poodle, of the breed that are usual
ly kept shaved over portions of their body,
leaving the long hair grotesque in spots.
In this case the dogs face is denuded eX-
cept at the jOwls aud crown, where whis-
kers and hair are arranged to give a SEM
Dlance of a human head. The effect is
exceedingly funny. But the girls whim
does not stop with that, or else chance
alone produces a similar combination, for
the man servant who is sent cut every
day with the dog is very black negro,
whose hair and whlskers are cut exactly
like those of the dog. The resemblance
in color and contour strikes everybody
who sees the dog and servant together,
the belief is accepted that the mistress of
them both takes that odd way Of amusing
herself.
AROUND THE WORLD.
One of the tourists who starts within
few DAYS tor a pleasure journey around
the world is young GriswOld Lorllard, a
son of the wealthy horse owner and
sportsman, Pierre L0rillard. He will he
accompanied on mis- tour by Mr.. W. p.
Talboys, a member of the Union club snd
a man very well known about town. He
figured prominently in the accounts OF
Mrs. Langtrys American tour in a
speca, car, as a companion OF Freddie
Gebbardt in the atter's attendance on the
Jersey Lily. Mrs. Langtry insisted upon
having two men instead OF only one
aboard her train. sAll right" said Fred
die, ''Pll invite my friend Talboys,
member of the Union club, and right
nice gentleman" So TalbOys became a
mutual friend OF the pair. He is not rich,
however; at times there mas been absolute
danger that he would be compelled to
work for a living. One of those distress
ing Junctures was lately reached in his
career. Then Pierre Lorillard came 10
the rescue with the proposal that he ac-
company Griswold around the world,
showing him in safety everything worth
seeing, and acting in short as mentor and
guide. They expect TO be gone about two
years, stopping first at San francisco,
travelling thence to Japan, China, India,
and so on letter OF credit for $25, 600,
which they will carry with them, ought to
do a good deal towards making their
way smooth and shedding a pleasant
light upon the scenes which they are TO
visit, Nj.
