Some idea of the growth of New York City is gathered from the increase of the assessed valuation of real estate. In 1870 the assessment of the city was $742,103,075 this year it is §1,080,879,403, an increase in 13 years of $438,770,328, or over 45 per cent. Since 1879 the increase has been rapid. The valuations for 1880 showed an increase of $24,500,000, those of 1881 of $34,000,000. In 1882 the increase was $58,500,000, and this year it is $45,500,000.

The Camerons, father and son, are very renowned for the tenacity of their friendship when it is bestowed upon any one. Senator Don told the senate day before yesterday why he was in favor of the Fitz John Porter bill. It was because of the efforts made by Porter to keep Gen. Thomas from going over to the confederacy at the beginning of the war. The senator forsakes his party to vote for Porter as he did in voting to seat Butler, of South Carolina. Butler's father, when in the senate, was a friend of Cameron, pere, and the sons were foreordained friends.

Congressman Morrison, of Illinois, is reported to have declared that he will not be a candidate for the speakership of the next house under any probable circumstances. This announcement will doubtless aid the Springer boom. There are elements in the canvass which, if united, will make him a formidable candidate. Mr. Blackburn seems determined to destroy Mr. Carlisle's chances, if he does nothing more, and a union between him and Springer would be the easiest •way to accomplish his object. Mr. Springer may handle that gavel yet. With him in the chair and Mr. Cox on the floor most of the variety shows would have to go out of business for want of patronage.

The movement to have telegraph wires put under ground in cities will get resli strength from the Milwaukee fire. The hotel was surrounded by a perfect net work of wires which interfered with the work of the firemen. Speaking of the subject the Indianapolis Journal says: "The danger resulting from the stringing of hundreds of telegraph wires along the streets of our cities was again proven at the Milwaukee hotel fire. It is next to impossible to raise a ladder when tjiey are in the way, and the terrible manner in which they lacerated those who Bought to escape from the flames by jumping from the windows, ought to cause some action on the part of city authorities everywhere that would do away with the dangerous nuisance."

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Coiffures Jewelry Evening Toilettes Arms and Necks. Hpeclal Correspondence of the Express.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—New Years receptions have revealed the fact that there is nothing new in the arrangement of the hair. The same careless prettiness the same pretty carelessness. The same avoidance of sameness the same freedom from doing the same things other people do merely for the sake of doing the same. No. One draws her hair back plainly No. Two has crimps No. Three has a few puffs rising at the top No. Four has this No. Five has that, etc., etc. There are some things, however, that none of the above named numbers, nor any unnamed numbers, can do. Through every phase there must be moderation, and the one thing to be done is not to do too much. By moderation I mean especially a moderate quantity of hair better not enough than a superfluity. Then, again, in the case of the lady who draws her hair back plainly, it is understood that some sort of overshadowing fringe rests in fringe-like fashion on her forehead. In some manner or form there must be some wavy, broken outline over the brow, and here a favorite device for those who do not wish to wear false fronts nor to hackle their own front hair into fragments, is the circle of scallops as fashionable now as ever. By far the greater number prefer the low coil at the back, from which occasionally two or three short curls may straggle. A flower or two appended is now and then seen, but tastes run towards some shell, gilt, jet, or silver ornament. The huge hairpin catching the half falling coil the spike thrust in with abandon, headed by a ball or two, a blossom, a butterfly, perhaps—anything careless and as if placed without thought.

JEWELRY.

In jewelry similar ideas prevail. No longer formal "sets," but trifles set here, there, anywhere, catching folds of lace at random, or placed at the throat in finish to the linen collar that barely peeps above the dress. One of the most unbecoming of ideas nevertheless, is this linen collar, and cne entirely out of keeping with the graceful softness belonging instinctively to oman. Happily the fashionableness of lace prevents it as a necessity, and for pinning lace scarfs in the easy ways prevailing at present we see a brooch often doing duty without reference to the "set" of which it. may be a part. Not of necessity worn at the throat, as of yore, but on the shoulder, at the waist or elsewhere on the corsage, as fancy may incline. Earrings, if worn, are small and close to the ear, but fashion cares little for earrings and usually they are ignored save in case of a large pearl or diamond.

EVENING COSTUMES.

An evening costume of pale green plush and satin in Lord & Taylor's famous bay window reveals the fact that both these materials are used for full dress, a conviction that is strengthened by sight in an inner sanctum of a superb toilette where the front breadth of delicate blue satin serves as a foundation to large velvet leaves of deep shaded brown put on at intervals. The back is princess with a flowing train of rich brocade where leafy columns in dark brown traversea groundwork of pale blue satin neck square low, and short sleeves. An exquisite costume being made for Emily Winant was of white silk having the new broad rep combined with gorgeous velvet applique on white surface. Another dress was of ruby velvet plain and brocade, while one yet hannsomer was a plain ruby velvet with draper_j of wide point lace. The momentous question of "necks" is

wRi^^r,pxr

Bettlli&Tttthe moisf'satisfactory way by allowing -different ways. Square low, Pompadour, heart* wiaped *while if you want a square low ana yet wish the neck covered, behold a cloud of tulle or lace added with high art dexterity. For rict goods, moreover, one must have the train. The found square, that is the square train with corners rounded, is chiefly in vogue, and often so contrived that for dancing it can be taken off. Sleeves are sleeves or not sleeves, just as one chooses, and one can have just as much or little of a sleeve as one is inclined to, from the slight pretence-of one, amounting really to nothing at all, to sleeves reaching well down to the wrist. Of course as the sleeve increases the glove decreases, and vice versa. Unless in a fancy dress there is small opportunity for pretty arms, since if you do not cover them with silk or satin, you •must with the long, long, long kid glove, coming verily almost to the shoulder. Gne's sole refuge here is to lace. You can have a lace sleeve, which serves all the purposes of exhibition while pretending to conceal.

Black lace gives an admirable pretense and can be worn by ladies somewhat advanced without impropriety, while white lace too is largely used. But black lace is very becoming and therefore a safer choice. LUCY CARTER.

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF

In the Faraons Livingstone-Fleming Breach, of Promise Suit—Damages Awarded In the Full Amount Claimed —975,000. New York Special.

The breach of promise suit of Mary Alice Almont Livingston against Henry Fleming for $75,000 ende4 to-day The jury went to their room twenty minutes to 4 o'clock and in a few min utes returned. There was a strained quiet in the room, and the audience listened eagerly for the result. When the jurors' names were called by Clerk Byrne he asked: "Gentlemen of the ury, have you agreed upon a verdict

The foreman, Mr. Seaman, responded "We have. We find for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed."

There was an instantaneous cheer which shook the walls. Mr. Fleming had slipped out and was nowhere to be seen. Cheer upon cheer followed for the jury. Judge Pratt sat back with a smile of contentment on his face and looked placidly at" the uproarious scene before* him. Justice Pratt granted a Btay and fixed a day fcr the argument of"a motion for anew trial.

MISS UVINGSTOSE

was making love to her little baby in the waiting room, with her mother by her side, when she heard the tramp of a throng rushing with cheers to the door. She was called out by a messenger, and she came with her baby in her arms. The crowd made way and on each side bf the lane that was formed for her there were men and boys vigorously clapping their hands. She colored almost to pUrple, and her little one, a year old, waived his hand as ftvough he knew something of his mamma's victory. She seemed about to faint as she entered the court room, but summoning up her resolution she went forward. Another case was in progress, but she was loudly applauded, and when she sank into her seat she was too faint to sneak. Presently she said: "Has the jury came in?"

Yes," said her attorney.^ "And agreed?" "Yes." "What is the verdict?" "Why, don't you know? Seventyfive thousand dollars for you."

She cast her eyes down and smiled at her baby, and then said: "And what did Mr. Fleming do?" "I don't know," said the counsel. "I'll tell you miss," said a tall spectator. "He just got out."

Miss Livingstone soon afterward started for home, at Toms River, N. J., with her mother.

Several of the jurors said that upon first entering the jury-joom one of the twelve spoke of

READING THE LETTERS,

but this idea was instantly rejected. Then a ballot was taken and eleven found for the plaintiff and one for the defendant. Upon the next ballot they were all for the plaintiff upon the first ballot upon the amount of damages there were eleven for $75,000 and one for $55,000. Upon the second ballot all were for $75,Q00V The jurors said that they were all well impressed by the plaintiff, but they were undecided until Henry Fleming went upon the stand. His manner upon cross-exami-nation was such that they suspected that he was not telling the truth, and when the charges that he had made that the plaintiff had been a prostitute were so completely disproven, they made up their minds that she was telling the truth, and he wasn't.

Justice Pratt says the verdict is the largest ever granted in a breach of promise case. There was one case in England in which the plaintiff got £10,000, but this verdict exceeds that one by $25,000.

MODERN SOCIAIi LIFE.

The Change* of a Century—Con venation a Lost Art. Baltimore Sun.

In the midst of modern life the old elaborate forms of social ettiquette are rapidly dying out, says an English writer. Visiting is carried on through the penny post, correspondence by the telegraph, and conversation by the telephone. Science is killing all the stately graces of life, and flings so many treasures to society that the beautiful, like Tarpeia, is crushed to death under the weight of the offerings. Machinery, railroads, telegraphs and cheap literature have destroyed beauty, grace, style, dignity and the art of conversation. Aristotle's high-bred gentleman, with his stately manners, slow movements and measured speech, would, soon be hustled aside at a railway station, and probably lose his place and his ticket. Neither has society any longer the time to listen, as it did half a century ago, to the learned disquisitions of Macaulay, the inspired monologues of Coleridge, or the fierce-roll-ing iconoclastic thunders of Carlyle. The art of conversation has been gradually falling into decadence, and now barely exists though manner, or the mode of saying things well, still helps to keep it alive and even to give to commonplace the semblance of gold. In Shakespeare's time conversation was perhaps at its best in England. The court set the example Queen Elizabeth had wit and learning, and round her circled some of the most remarkable men that England or Europe ever produced. Culture had reached a high level, and every one aimed at being clever and brilliant, and, above all, learned. It was a golden age of England when the national

Btrength and

inielleet reached the supremelielght In 'philosophy, poetry, the drama And the splendor and depths of thought in social life.

Queen Anne, thought the dullest of good women herself, was fortunate also in having her reign illuirtrated by a great race of intellectual celebrities, all of them eminently distinguished for conversational' power, as Swift Pope, Bdlingtrdke, Lady Mary Wortley Montague and others. And there were great and brilliant women and talkers even in the heavy Georgian era, whose wit and wisdom are preserved to us in the bright pages of Horace Walpole, like dried rose leaves, with the perfume still fragrant as in life. Dr. Johnson is the high priest of the last century, and we fling a wreath to the memory of the fascinating Thrale and "little Burney" and the wonderful Delanyand the stately Hannah More, and others who proved a woman's right to be a social queen. After them comes a whirlwind of intellect, male and female, rushing down the dark unknown of the opening nineteenth century. Immortal names of immortal men illustrate this great era, and a whole host of brilliant woraln light it with the radiance of their intellect, their wit, their beauty and the

sparkling splendor of their conversation^ girt, iftaria Edgeworth held the

tionf\l scepter of intellect, Lady Morgan ruled London by her wit, and Lady Blessington reigned at the Gore House by her grace and brilliancy, while Lady Dufferin and Mrs. Norton (of that wondrous Sheridan race) claimed and gained the world's homage by the right of wit, beauty and genius all combined. Mrs. Jameson, also, and the Brontes held their place right sovereignly, and Mis. S. C. Hall was a social power both in Ireland and England. Here was a splendid band of gifted women (all Irish by the way) who were as brilliant and interesting in conversation aa they were powerful with the pen. Later on we find the female intellect supremely illustrated only by the name of one woman, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She stands alone without a rival in the century, but then she stands alone amid tne women: of all centuries.

After the death of the great poetess of England, the royal race of women who reign by right divine of intellect disappears, and the professional beauty seized the vacated throne as a social power. The women of genius retreated into solitude, and are now never heard of but on a title page. They ho longer cast their influence upon socie ty as brilliant thinkers and talkers and a literary salon ruled over by some dazzling queen of intellect, some splendid women of wit and learning, exists in London. no more for, while the rush of life is tending to destroy all the forms of social etiquette, the diffu sipn of knowledge is sapping the foundations of the conversational art, which former generations almost raised to the perfection of a science.

There is nothing now left in the outer world to talk about. Penny newspapers and shilling cram satiate all curiosity, and the professional reviewers kindly crumble up for us all the current poems and novels to save society the trouble of selection or mastication.

We are all fed on the same food, and have no new and strange interests to impart to each other. There are no more mysteries left. The whole world lies on our breakfast table, with all its fashions and follies, and by 10 o'clock in the morning every oneTcnows every thing that has happened throughout the universe, from the last spot on the sup to the last scandal and the latest crime. And theq we glance over the society papers, where the whole thing is turned into a jest, and life is made to seem but one immense burlesque.

But, as conversation dies out, the silent pleasures of society

are

importance. Brilliant

professional genius is summoned to do all the singing, playing, talking, reciting, while society merely sits still and listens. There is music, when none dare even whisper to his neighbor a casual remark recitations, when the room must be hushed to perfect si lence while at the theatres, society sits patiently, cramped and silent, for four hours or so, and is happy that no demand is made on it for talk.

The whole mental activity of life has become vicarious. We lay our weariness on the head of some substitute and so all personal responbility ends for the exercise of intellect. We leave all that to professional talent, and, except that we eat and drink, we might as well be gods of stone, ranged, with rigid features, round the walls of a drawing-room, or massed in the centre like pins in a pincushion.

There is no place any more for brilliant inviduality or the small amateur accomplishments. Trained talent has seized the brain of the world, and grown rich on the monopoly, as the merchants have seized the commerce and transmuted all they touch to gold.

Society is frozen into a mere aggre gate of passive recipients and listeners, much depressed by/the conscious' ness of their own insignificance and inferiority while the professionals receive the plaudits and the pay and exult with justifiable pride,in triumphs fairly won by genius, talent and earnest study.

MORE MISS CORBETTS THAN USUAL.

The Advent of Mary Cecilia, Catherine Agnes and Ellen Gertrude. New York Sun.

Mrs. Michael Corbett, of 546 West Fifty-fourth street presented thrqp daughters to her husband on Thursday night. The neighbors heard of the occurrence and poured into the rooms in the morning to see the triplets and congratulate their father and mother. The influx of visitors had not decreased to any appreciable degree up to yesterday evening, when Mrs. Corbett introduced a reporter of the Sun to the babies. The trio were quietly sleeping in abed at the left of their mother, who was looking well, and was quite conversational. "The doctor says they are the healthiest and finest babies he has ever seen," she said,' bestowing a side glance of admiration and affection upon the three. "They weigh six pounds apiece."

The husband held a lamp over the bed so that a better view of the infants could be obtained. "They are as like as two—I mean three—peas," he said. We had to tie ribbons on their wrists to distinguish them when we had them christened on Friday morning by Father Taylor of the church of the Sacred Heart. What are the names

Mr. Corbett's question was addressed to a young woman who had been concerned in the christening. She said: "The one with the rid ribbon is Mary Cecilia, the one with the white is Catherine Agnes, and the one with blue is Ellen Gertrude." it

"What is your business, sir, may I ask?" politely inquired the drummer. "I am an under, taker."

What mean, contemptible looking thing3 they are 1 Look at those long, helpless, dangling legs One almost expects to see them run off with themselves to hide their conscious ugliness. Of course they are soiled and slovenly they must be, for they are too tight to be held up like our poor, much abused skirts, and quite long enough, when the streets are wet, to receive all the muddy, flying drops of the boot heels. Indeed, so little respect have men themselves for this detestable garment, that I haw more than once seen them rub out the accumulation of dust with a blacking brush.
