Correspondence of The Montreal Heraid.I
The Gayest Lady i'm Paris.

Princess Metternich, one OF the ugliest and
wittiest women of the day, with passion
for eccentricities OF every kind, and going
every where, even into the least proper
PLACES, but invariably accompanied by her
husband, is always inventing some new
pieceof witty nonsense, orcoDtriviDg some
new piece of extravaganza. Herr great de-
light at the present time is to sing all the
songs of the famous Theresa. She has TAX
EN- fifteen lessons of the popular dioa OF, the
Cate AlceZar, and flatters herself that she
surpasses her teacher in her own peculiar
brio. r ~ if.s 40
II put ten times more Billingsgate into
Theresa's songs than Theresa herself!n the
Princess has more than once triumphantly
declared to her intimates. Both the eccen-
trio Highness herself and her husband are
first-rate musicians, compose good deal,
and often play together. The other day q
highly accomplished and popular Professor
of the Sorbonne was dining with them, the
lively sallies of the Princess making the
two or three guests laugh so much that they
could hardly do justice to the very recherche
dinner, When they left the dining-room
the Princess called to her husband, who had
sat down to write note at side table, In
the first drawing-room, where they had as
sembled: - 80. .<,Hg4s- q rob
Richard let us play our last waltz for
the Professorv' and suiting the action 70
the word she seated herself at the piano.
The Prince, who adores his wife, and al
ways does what she wants, laid down his
pen, and took his seat at second piano, In
the next room (they have eight drawing
rooms opening one out of the other, with a
piano in each and an organ in two ofthem,)
and the pair played their last composition
in magnificent style, on the two pianos, the
Princess declaring that the waltz was such
delightful one to waltz to that there was
no resisting it, jumping from tile music
stool, and initiating the movement of waltz
ing as well as she could with turning, play
ing away all the time, with the utmost bril-
liancy and precision. After this, the two
played various other pieces, mostly of their
own composing, and all of high merit and
splendidly performed. They are said to be
the most worsbipiDg couple alive, and
work together at everything they take in
hand-music, painting, or the writing of
little plays. Whenever their friends ven-
ture to demonstrate with her on the ex-
traordinary toilettes she delights in sport
ing, the extravagant things she does, and
the improper places she is so fond of going
to, she Invariably replies: "But what is life
good for, If one must not amuse oneself?
There's nothing | enjoy halt so much as
astonishing people, and making them open
their serious eyes. And as for the things
do, and the places | go to, pray where's the
harm, when Richard is always with me?"

The Present Condition of Mount
Vernon. f.a

A recent visit to Mount Vernon has found
the place in good state of preservation,
none of the ravages of war having extended
in that direction. The scouting parties of
both armies have always regarded it as neu-
trail ground, andnever violated its precincts
by acts of hostility. The agent of the
Mount Vernon Association remains at the
mansion, and is bitter secessionist, not
having visited Alexandria during the war,
in consequence of the necessity of taking
the oath. His wife, however, subscribed to
the oath, and is allowed to visit the city for
supplies. The house remains precisely as it
was four years ago. The same table and
blank book for registering the names of
visitors stands in the hail. with the key to
the French Bastile, presented by Lafayette
to Washington, hanging over them In its
little glass case, and specimens of wood
and minerals above the doors. The agent,
with his wife and two or three children, oc-
cupy suite of rooms on the left Of the
hall, and a few negroes inhabit the kitchen.
The tomb, so often described, remains
untouched. A lonely "Phebe" bird has
built against the wall inside, and with its
plaintive, monotonous call, is the only
thing to break the dead silence of the spot.
1t is subject for c0ngratulation that so
little expense is required to put the prem
ises in as complete order for the reception
of visitors as before the war. The fences
need some repairs, the shrubbery requires
trimming, and few vacant places in the
flower garden might be filled with plants,
but beyond this little remains to be done.
The landing place is in perfect order,
though the water has become rather shall
low, but at high tide will no doubt be Of
sufficient depth to permit light-draught
steamers to land. 1t is understood that ar
rangements are now on foot for reopening
the mansion to visitors, and that in short
time excursion trips to this spot will be
regularly made.
