AAAN = LIZA L III @
These Mandolin maestros are usually Ital-
ians, who will tell you HAhal re b~anjoees no
good. Ze mandolin ees ali so eezy, so roman
teek, y and this explanation of the popularity
of their instrument is accompanied with the
usual shrug of shoulders and distortion of
limbs and eyebrows. TIL artist has allowed
his fancy a little freedom in the above picture,
and portrayed the signor as he appeared but
a few years ago in his native costume, before
he was shaven, and crowded into the broad
cloth he wears at present. And these are the
gentlemen who are now admitted into the
most fashionable parlors. The artist has also
caught exceedingly well the awkward manner
in which the instrument is handled by the
American amateur. This primitive instru-
ment itself is as much out of place in the
elaborate surroundings of a fashionable par
lor as its compass is i'll adapted to the
requirements of modern music, and it cannot
be long before it will be ornamented and hung
in company with its predecessor, the banjo,
as a piece of wall decoration, and the future
beaus will ave it pointed out to them as one
of the instruments on which the young ladies
could play SO .lovely.n But for the present,
inexorable fashion must have its fancy graft
fed, and when the dusky descendant Of the
Caesars finds his present occupation gone, he
will let his beard assume its old-sime growth,
once more sling the strap Of the neglected
hand organ across his shoulders and proceed
to grind out his living as before. s.. II. II.

Especial Correspondence.l
NEW YORK, March 23.-The young people
of fashionable society are simply children of
larger growth. This is discerned In the shall
lowness of their conversation and exhibited
in the vagaries of their tastes. Nc sooner
they acquire one bauble than they quickly
tire of it and look around for some other toy.
In this exclusive set in society there is but
little originality of thought, SO that if one OF
their number but stumbles against a novelty
in the way Of amusement it is likely to de
velop, into a craze for a season and be as
quickly forgotten. dozen years ago Jim"
Bennett fitted up a hall and introduced roller
skating. 1t became the rage that winter, but
was not heard of afterwards until its recent
popular revival. So it was with polo, which
was brought over here by this same eccentric
newspaper proprietor. 1t was considered SO
essential an accomplishment for the Jude OF
that day that this continent and Europe were
secured to find ponies with low enough draft
to permit the riders feet to touch the ground
while playing the game. To-day it is re-
membered only by the name given to the
grounds here and in Newport, which We're
then devoted to it. Then came bicycling,
fox hunting and walking as fashionable
| sports. The present youths min seems to
turn to horse riding. With the young ladies,

hibit themselves are too variable to be easily
defined, but certain it is that the latest craze
