Four Hundred. THE woRsHIPED BACK. Mrs Fernando Yznaga is the young matron who is admitted to have humbled the pride. of Mrs. Langtry, who long claimed to possess the. most exquisitely shaped back and shoulders 4n all the world. Mrs. Yznaga cer- ,tainly has peerless sendowments in that 3ine and to her is due the excessive vogue of costumes calculated to ac- eentuate any loveliness latent in that portion of the feminine anatomy. All the society women of Gotham for many months did nothing but study the con- tour of Mrs. Yznaga's back and shoul- ders and the loveliness of pose natural to her was copied far and wide. To this circumstance is due the fondness of so many wealthy New York women for having themselves painted and photographed in backward attitude.
 Now that there is to be no divorce, the society of the metropolis will pre- sumably continue to revel in its favor ite anatomical exhibit.

WHAT SOCIETY WANTS. m ore tabooed than ever-awaits with eager interest the night upon which Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt will be introduced to the world. The heart burnings and the in- trigue due to this impending event re- ally baffle all efforts to portray them. Those politicians whose wire-pulling proclivities have been the foundation of their fortunes might learn valuable lessons from the proceedings of not few of the socially ambitious who are now doing their best to become the recipients of an initiation to this func- tion. Everybody who is anybody will be asked, of course, but the unhappy inference, in the case of all uninvited, will be that they are nobody Hence the present scramble.
 Miss Consuelo herself is described as being in very natural condition of apprehension in view of the approach ing ordeal. Her dress passed through the New York custom house very re- gently and was consigned to noted To- cal man milliner to avoid attracting at tention. The young lady will wear thou sands of dollars worth of gems, it goes without saying; but it has aroused much criticism among many members of the swell set that the Vanderbilts should not have taken more care to avoid making this really historic com ing out a sort of social battle ground. An immense sum of money will be spent upon the affair-thousands of dollars for flowers alone, and the mid niUht rnanu will OlltdO T11crlluS
 The Vanderbilts, by the way, have again been at pains to deny the story that Miss Consuelo is to wed the young duke of Marlborough, but the story still finds credence among many who have no faith in denials of rumored en- agreements At any rate, the young lady will unquestionably be one of the social powers of the metropolis, begin ming with this winter. No sooner will her coming out be an accomplished fact than round of amusements, un- paralleled in New York's social annals, will be insugurated. Miss Vanderbilt is particularly fond of affairs such as masked balls, which allow of extrava- gancies in costume. She has ideas of her own in this matter of dress and that is one reason why private theat- ricals have always delighted her. The Empire city is on the eve of veritable fancy dress carnival, and the belles and beaux of society will, during the com ing season, be seen in all kinds of dominos, masks and wigs. Everything in the shape of costume extravaganza finds favor in New York now.

Cleveland has not figured much as a man of means, being deemed simply comfortably off, and this impression is in reality correct.
 But the president has lately been giving some lavish orders to New York bric-a-brac dealers and his new liberality in that direction has aroused wonder as to how he can afford 1t. One of his recent purchases was vase which was spiritedly bid for at recent auction in the house of hard hit mill lionaire, and there was murmur of surprise when the bid6er's name was taken by the auctioneer.

SHE FURNISHED DETAILS.

Stared Out or Patience, Young Woman
 Rebuked Her Fellow-Passengers.
 She sat in the corner of a Broadway cable car nearest the gripman. She knew that she was the exposure of all eyes among the passengers, and she felt the situation lSeenly.s It was of no use to affect unconsciousness, for the color came and went with the rapidity of the gripman's going, giving the lie to any such affectation, and she knew it. Every block the car travelled added to the attention she attracted, land the tittering became more and more audi ble. She had but one course open to her, and she took it so quickly that the well-dressed men and women passen- gers who had been amused at her ap- pearanee were surprised. 4I JC-s
 II know that you are all looking at me-" she said, suddenly sitting forward in her seat so as to command afull view of the car, "and I know that you are all thoroughly enjoying yourselves at my expense. I'm glad of it, and for fear you will lack important details when you describe me to your rela- tives and friends, I'll give them to you myself. To begin with, the style of this bonnet, which amuses you so much, was copied from one worn by my grandmother and her grandmother be- fore her.
 1.-The pattern of this dress dates back so far that can leave it entirely to your imagination without the slightest fear of you antedating it's time. The brooch, which is as you will speak of 1t when you go home, as large as a small-sized teacup, has been in the family since it's earliest representatives landed on Plymouth Rock, and this gingham umbrella has history that would keep your metropolitan humor- ists busy for year and be worth it's weight in gold as fecund source of in- spiration. The basket speaks for it. self, and needs no further description.
 ''I forgot to mention that these cot ton gloves have oficiated at fifteen family weddings and ninety-six chrisa- enings, to say nothing of outside events, which might be classified as remote and occasional. My age, of course, is immaterial, as you'll each have your different versions, but hint even on this may be useful; there fore keep it between thirty and sixty, and favor me all you can. If there is any other little detail about my per- sonality you would care to know, just| mention it and I'll make it clear.
 ''You see I've read great deal, and know the interest you city people take in these things, and should feel real put out if you failed to grasp particu- lars for the want of little enlighten- ment. And then you are so polite that, although from the country and without your opportunities of getting up in good breeding, I naturally try to do my best to emulate you in matters of courtesy"
 By this time those among the passen- gers who were not buried behind friendly newspapers found objects of the greatest interest to observe on the street, and the speaker waited vainly for reply. Finally she settled back in her corner with a sigh, and said in a disappointed tone:
 That's the worst of detail; it always detracts from the main object. ."-N. Y. Herald

Occasionally they roar aloud while in transit, to the wonder of all who chance to hear them, but the real danger arises from the carelessness displayed by employees of the dealers in handling these animated consignments. Once in awhile an animal escapes, all though care is usually taken to con- ceal all such episodes. But the board of aldermen will undoubtedly be called upon to take some action in the prem ises soon if the city is to escape a shocking tragedy. The river front of the east side is where this trade cen ters. The gorillas are the most dan gerous of all the living freight, and be- sides being the most costly are the least profitable.
 Some quotations upon the stock give very noteworthy idea of the profits sometimes reached through trading in wild quadrupeds. Thus in New York performing elephant costs 5000. A young rhinoceros fetcheS $3,000, while lions are only $1, 900 pair. The hip popotamus in a healthy condition is quoted at $3, 900 and the zebra at S700. The wart hog commands $400 with bid ding pretty lively, and the polar bear S65O. Camels are $500 each. Wild birds are much cheaper than quadru- peds. Black swans are S100 the pair, and cassowaries S150 each.

oA1'~ O-@ league with the police to put to con- fusion all patrons of porsimonious tendency. The arrangement was that troublesome customers, pecuniarily and otherwise, should be driven, not to their homes, but to the nearest police station. There, of course, their mis- haps or disagreements with cabby would be publicly exploited and them selves put to confusion. The threat of a cabman to drive his complaining patron to the police station was almost always effective with young club swell. For nearly all these youths owe money to their cabby and cabby would of course reveal that circumstance to the police captain and the matter thereupon be- come public property.
 But the police, it seems, determined to levy tribute upon the cabbies be- cause they grant them favors in the way of permitting them to monopolize favorable street corners and the like. But the cabbies would not deliver, and the bluecoats immediately began to de- eide all disputes in favor of the cab bies' patrons No sooner had the young club men got wind of how matters stood than they began to defy all the hack drivers in the city, refusing to ac- knowledge the justice of claims against them. Deprived of their police backing, the cabmen have adopted new mode of asserting their griev- ances. Whenever a hackman sees a delinquent patron on the street he whips up his steed, bawls: "Cab, sir!' at the top of his voice, and makes straight for his victim. The victim in one or two cases narrowly escapes be- ing run over, and in one instance a prominent member of the Union club was knocked down. In the shape of new way to collect old debts this ex- pedient of the cabbies attracts atten- tion, and at the Union and other clubs the outcome is awaited with interest
