Special Correspondence of the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 24.-All sorts of
men come to New York. The hungry
adventures and the newly rich are alike
represented among newcomers. This is
the place to make money and to spend it..
But the man who makes a million very
suddenly often finds that he is a terrible
vulgarian-that he can't speak English
correctly, that his habits are disgusting
aud that his clothes are shocking. Yet
there is a future for such a man provided
he has a little common sense and can get
tar enough away from himself to see his
own imperfections. Here are a few
rules which will help such a man out:
Never speak of your family. Be indiffer-
Ell to everything except sporting mat
tiers. Use the telegraph and telephone
as much IS possible, for bad spelling
doesn't appear in them. Don't talk
much, and remember that anecdotes of
travel are the safest. Be near-sighted
and use glasses. Invite only Foreigners
to your dinners and stag parties, and
give out that you are paying up old
scores, having visited them in the old
country. Don't join club. Note we'll
all the filings and slurs which refined and
Intellectual people use in speaking Of
vulgarians, and make them a part of
your vocabulary. Be Impertinent, es-
pecially with women, for women will ex-
cuse q great deal in man who has
81 200 900.

There is no other place so good as Gen.
trail park for observing varieties Of
people. 1t belongs to the extremes of
society. The very poor and the very
rich enjoy it, but the middlng folks are
strangers to it. Central park is in some
respects the most beautiful pleasure
ground IN the world. At st. Petersburg
the parks are MAINLY in the hands of the
police and the soldiery, and Hyde park,
in London, is nothing more than huge
parade ground for the fashionable world
Of riders and drivers. All of the equip
ages use the west drive, and the horse
back riders amble up and down Rotten
Row In Paris, the Bots is gorgeous, but
the beautiful part of it is so far from the
city proper that it belongs in the main to
the people on wheels. They have in
Hyde park, in London, q rule which ex-
cludes hacks and hansoms, so that only
the owners OF carriages can go on the
sacred roadway that is visited by the
prince and princess of Wales and the
queen of Great Britain. No such rule as
this exists in Paris, however, and the
Count de Paris or any other great noble
man would take'the commonest hack if
be felt like it, and join the gorgeous
parade Of carriages without feeling out Of
place or exciting remark. In Berlin the
Thiergarten is also in the city itself, and
II is surrounded by gorgeous beer gar
dens. II is the rendezvous of the lovers,
the stout old German papas and their
fat and toddling grandchildren. At
stated hour, usually O'Clock, the kali
ser drives in state through the Their
garten, and after that there is a consid-
cradle show of more or less pretentious
CARRIAGES, though the snowy and hand
some vehicles and thoroughbred horse
flesh in Germany does not approach the
splendid pageants in Hyde park or the
Bots.
Unquestionably the most diversified
and interesting show OF horse flesh and
