Lord, the time-honored lecl nrer, are two thiups inseparably associated 111 tue mind of many New Yorkers. As noon as the first begins, the course of lectures by the second begins also, and two evenings every week a long line of carriages extends down Seventeenth Street, and a crowd of ladies, a lew armed-with note-books, and a few with fancy work, pour into Chickeriiig Hull, and fill it from top to bottom. B'ljrding shools muster in full force, of cuBi'ss.

Hia small figure is as wiry as uver, and his eyes have still all the yarcnstic twir.kle.

Neither has lus cuuvorwitiou lost any of its wit Tluit it is wit which cuts with-erjnsid erable acerbity to life right and left, regardless of peiwous and most ol his friends and iutimuti-s have had cause to learn. A great deal of interest has been fel iu tiie iuqnufit. ht-ld yesterday in the cast i.if Barry Wall, shot by his wife, couple i ,1 ago at Utrocht. Tim verdict of accidental shooting ren- ui'icil by the jury- was expected by every ii'it. 1 It in oui'itf those casts which, il dots not serin could ever bu probed to bottom, and the wouiiui should have the bent-fit of the doubt.

Mr. NVall had many friends, and to them all his death has been shock. He was young man of great refihi'tneut, of excellent moral character and of good luiud, and all those who knew, him well that the words spoken to his father, iind reported at the inquest yesterday, 1 to the efit'ct that his wife had only (lono.nt imoo what sbe had before been doing by inches, were probably very true, and that, not'as the sh.iotmg might, have been, the violent temper which it would seem his -wife must have made his married life, with his peculiarly refined nature, very wretched. Mrs. Wall has certainly been iu iu a state of great mental agitation sinoe the tragedy, walking the floor, refusing to eat, having a number of fainting spells, and mourning incessantly for herlinsband.

She is a very young woman, rather stout, with light" brown hair and a retrousse nose, and is said to be pretty. As an actress her fame seems to have been infinitesimal," bat it was probably her comeliness which induced Mr. Wall to niarry her. He himself was about 27, small nud slight, and dark, and very quiet in manner. The tnvgody is certainly one more strong nr- nuulent against the marriage of persons iu tastes, education and characteristics.

From the son of a Presbyterian minister to a young woman liuuight up in the. Bohemian atmosphere of the stage there is a gap which can r.irely be over with happiness to eirher party. Auotlh'r case which' has aroused much interest among the numerous friends of the fiimHy of the accused in this city, is that of Dr. George Lauison. The news that his trial for poisoning his brother- in-law ended yesterday in.

London with a verdict of guilty lias caused a great of sympathy ior his father, who was wrll-known and much esteemed and liked. Wheu Dr. Latnson was in this country last spring ho was in bad health, and seemed morbid and depressed, so much so as to cause his father great anxiety. Dr. Laini-on, the father, is an Episcopal clergyman, and was for a number of years rector of the American chapel in Palis.

He. left, subsequently, on account, of sundry troubles iu the. church, and there were, at the time, some un- kiud things said about him, the cause of which was never exactly made clear. Here, however, he has always, as I say, been a favorite, especially with young men, upon whom his genial, off-hand and cheerful Christianity, so to speak, has always a good influence. It seems more than irrelevant to pass from a subjec; such as this unfortunate trial to the matter of chiffons, but that nevertheless is a topic possessing an in- tercet for a large portion of human beings belonging to the sex feminine, second to none at present, as is "made very evident by, the crowds of women that pack every, dry goods store, and; milliners' and dressmakers' just now.

At the opening of one mil liner the other day I was informed that close capotes, without strings, and very small, were to the favorite dress bonnet this spring. I was shown several, all very pretty. They are intended to lie worn far back on the bead, and are just the shape that is likely to be more or less becoming to everyone, A little beauty was made entirely of violet flowers and i short tips. All one side was of ponsies and violets, all the other of dark -violet ostrich feathers. Another was of garnet' on one side, tips on the other.

All the bonnets of this spring are small and close to the head. They change in inverse proportion to the Gainsboroughs and poke hats, which larger continually and more challenging in shape. The new pokes, indeed, not content withstanding out with immense boldness from theface, fiare up, in addition, on the edge in the most aggressive way, and will need some inside trimming, flowers notably. Women are fast, it is evident, going back to the regular coal Bcnttles of '-their grandmothers, whose capacious fronts it required EO less than a- wheelbarrow load of trimming to filL Nothing is going to be ziiosc clisrming than the-lawas this summer. They are all provided'with embroidery that is tie present rage on fabrics of all and, for the time in some years, will be fashionable in colors again.

The dress patterns, as they are called, come in 1 oses. The flowers beine edged with four-inch bands of opea work, in which are especially conspicuous. In some cases the embroidery is of the color of (he blue, pale rose, maize, brown, black, or what not. In otuers again jardiniere effects are produced by employing a number of bright contrasting ilors. The plates which accompany thfctrV lawns show the favorite way of making them to be with flounces tip the front of the skirt, paniers edged with a pointed waist, also bnt- lincii -with embroidery, eluovr sleeves, having an embroidered caff, and em- revers on tlje waist B.

I hope that it will find you well and prosperous. The events of the latt two and a half years are, of course, unkri-jTrn to me, and it is with mingled teelings of doubt, hope and fear that 1 write this letter.

Perhaps you are all wc.ll and safe; perhaps some of oar loved ones imvo bten gathered to theii- fathers; But I alvrays" hope for the best, and I am disposed to look upon the bright side. That sort of philosophy has carried me through very trying experiences during the past three years, when there seemed to be a forlorn hope for ice. Another wee has almost passed and Melville has not yet com from Bulnn: but I think he is on the road au will be here soon. We are passing ihe tim quietly, but impatiently. I will give you a idea h'ow we live.

As I have told you have foun nice people in every part of the world teat have viiited, and this place is by no means a exception. Last evening, for example, tjxsnt very pleasantly atthe of Mr.

After my cxper er.ce of the iiight before I was very have him quiet yesterday.

Some time after midnight I was awakened by a noise ia room. It was the "old man" looking fcr matehl I took him to task sharply, and sen him to bed. He went quietly, but after a littl while I heard him go out. "So I waited iiv minutes, and as he did not return I awoke th cosqiie and sent him for the "oldinan. He returned without finding him, so I imme diatcly dressed, went to the office of the po- lieem aster and had the town searched for mm I was afraid he would lie down on the snow, a he did on one occasion in the mountains.

Th next morning he was quiet and reasonable, begged me to have him well guarded, for a times he is out of his head. He is a very worthy man, nearly 50 years of age, and ha been a very excellent man in his time. Th great trouble at present is, that he has to be idle, there bemg nothing for him to dp but time.

At 3 o'clock this morning I was called one of the-men, who reported that the "ol' man" had been singing for four hours, am that they could do nothing with him. So I go up and found him all dressed and ready fcr a start. I went np to him and put ting niy-hand on his shoulder, Said, Com with me." -I took him across the room to hi sleeping place and said, Take off your He did so promptly. Turn in "and don't ge up uutil I tell you." He turned hi and slep quietly until 8 o'clock.

Yakuttk is a city of 5,000 inhabitants, and is situated on the west bank of the Lena: River It is the chief city in this part of Siberia, and the residence of the governor general, Tscher nieff. The houses are built of wood, and are not painted. The streets are very wide, each house has a largo yard or court. Thi principal trade is in furs. summer a grea deal of fresh meat is seat up the river.

This is a very-cold place. During nine months of the year snow and ice abound. In the winter the thermometer falls to seventy below zero. Since our arrival it has sixty-eight below, and to-day it is only thirty-flvej or thereabouts. In the" summer the temperature rises as high as ninety-five but the nights are cold.

There are many horses and cows in this vicinity. The natives, the Yakutsks, eat horse mest, but the Russians eat beef and venison. Potatoes, cabbage and a few other vegetables, a few berries, wheat and rye are grown in this vicinity. There are a few sheep and poultry also. The Russian Christmas is twelve days after ours.

They have a great round of festivities during the "Prasnik." In fact it has already commenced. It is hard to get any work done. I went to the tailor's to get some clothes made. He refused to take any more work. I have been able to get poor suit of ready-made clothes.

Last evening, when I tossed a little boy up toward the ceiling, mv coat burst open under both shoulders, and when dining with the governor last Sunday, the trousers burst from "clew toe-iring," and I had to have the seat ol them renewed.

He advises me to wait until I get home, for. after the operation I will have to remain in a dark room for a month or two.

My general health is excellent. I am stout and hearty. Of course there is very little American news in this far away place, but I have been able to pick up a few bits of it here and there. The death of GarfieltJ is a topic often mentioned, aiid from the accounts here I learn that he was shot by Guiott, on the train, near Long Branch. A great deal of interest and sympathy is manifested by the Russians.

About 900 miles south of this place there lives an Englishman named Lee, and from, him I hope to learn a gocd deal of news.
