The Paris Demi Monde.

The gorgeous and glittering demi-
world of Paris is unique. Neither here
nor elsewhere outside of the gay and
wicked capital is the existence of such O
class, in its full glory, possible. Now
that the season is at is close, the drive in
the Bois is mostly given up to the ele-
gantes of this sphere, Ladies of the
Lake" whose equipages cost each COM
Portable fortune, whose toilettes surpass
in genuine costliness those of the proud
est ladies of title, whose diamonds are q
Kings ransom, and whose purse is as
deep as Queens. These are the Aspa-
sias of the modern Empire, whose bril-
liant receptions surpass those of the
Princesses of the grand world, and
whose smile is sought not alone by the
frivolous golden youth.
Mini was the most noted among these
women of gay life. She has dozen
thoroughbreds in her stables, and as
many less noble bipeds fighting for the
honor of paying her bills. But she had
the disease of Ia 7rasiata, and when
driven out on the Bois the other day she
muffed the desth.cough too closely, the
vessels Of her poor, worn-oHt lungs rup-
tured, and she sank back faintiDg. The
high-stepping horses were turned to drive
her home to die; but the blood bubbled
up over the lace handkerchief, staining
her splendid raiment, and dead woman
was carried away through the frightened
ranks of her rivals and courtieFa. mot
very amusing, this death struggle in the
open road, is the comment of the Paris
chronicle; and Mini is not missed.

One morning Shelley, the poet, then
an Eton boy, reused to indignation by an
enemy's taunts, tossed his long, angelic
locks and accepted the wager OF battle
from his foe of the playground, Sir
Thomas Styles, a plucky little urchin, far
younger and shorter than himself. They
were to meet at twelve o'clock the same
day. The coming battle was the whis.
pered talk of every one, and as soon as
the rush out of school took place the ring
was formed, the seconds and bottle-hold-
ers were chosen. The tall, lean poet
lowered high above the little thick-set
baronet. In the first round Sir Thomas
felt his way by speculative sparring, while
Shelley tossed his long arms in an inco-
herent manner. When they rested, the
baronet sat quietly on the knee of his
second; but Shelley, disdainful of such
succor, and confident of victory, stalked
around the ring and scowled at his ad-
versary.
Time was called, and the battle was
commenced in earnest. The baronet
planted a cautious blow on Shelley's
chest. The poet was shaken, but wentin
and knocked his adversary down. While
he lay there, half stunned, Shelley
spouted Homeric defiances, to the delight
of his audience. la the third and last
round, Styles began to wake up, and even
tlfaly delivered settling "slogger" on
Shelley's bresdbssket" 1t fell on the
poet like thunder-bolt; his nervous sen.
sibilities were reused; he broke through
the ring and flew, pursued by his seconds
aud hackers, but distanced them all, and
got to earth safely, at the house of his
tutor, Mr.. Bethel, whom he soon after
ward nearly blew up with miniature
steam engine, which travelling tinker
had manufactured for him.-AU the
