Pleas for Siberian ExiIes.

LONDON, May 14.-If the Car does
not take steps to modify the workings
and effects of the prison system in ST.
IBERIA it will not be because the exist
ing evils are not called to his atten-
ton, or at least to the notice of his
ministers and others around him.
Private dispatches from st. Peters
burg state petitions from England,
America, Germany, France and other
countries are arriving at their respec-
tive ambassadors and legations in
great profusiOn with requests
that they be laid before the
Car Immediately. Forwarding Pc
titions to Russia, is a comparative
ly easy matter, but laying them be-
fore the car is quite another thing,
and 1T is extremely doubtful that his
imperial majesty will ever seea single
one of the numerous appeals to his
clemency in behalf of the Siberian
exiles, though he will doubtless be
informed as to their number, vol
ume and character. The government
officials will shortly aver that the re-
ports of the cruelties 10 prisoners inSi-
IBERIA are entirely false and if any,
thing is done to mitigate the condi-
tons of these unfOrtunates, it is safe
to say it will be so quietly, that moth
ing Will ever be definitely known as
to the character and extent of the
modification.

Social Precedence in the Dancing
Assemblies of Old New York.
The meetings began in November,
and continued through the winter,
patronized, of course, only by the
elite of society. The ball was opened
at o'clock, and closed by midnight.
In 1859 Messrs. Duane, Walton, Nc
Evers, and Banyar, all gentlemen of
the highest fashion, were the mana
gers. The divisions in society were

dence and dignity which would never
be for a moment tolerated by the f.
G. d. c., the Patriarchs, or the Matri-
archs, in their reunions at DelmOn-
icO's. Tradition retains curious in
cident which shows the prevalence
of such assumptions at date far Ia
ter than that when Sir Charles or
Washington led the dance. The
story is of young lady of one of the
manOrial families who took her place
at the head of the dancing hall, in
the post Of honor, and held It to the
close Of the evening. To the mana
gers, who protested against her as
sumptions, she declined her name

take my stand" The lady was Miss
Morris, of the Morrisania family, who,
to beauty and a graceful presence
united delightful lisp, which gave
emphasis to the phrase.-From "Old
