A reconciliation, however, was effected,
and in the season ot1879-8O the Countess
Of Lonsdale was the belle of the royal
drawing room-at time when the dec0lIel

Baaconsfeld, then Premier, particularly
distinguished her by leaving the, circle OF
ministers and taking her arm for q promo

looked supefbly. Her diamonds were mag
nifcent, and on one side of her corsage
was fastened q black pearl of fabulous size,
set round with brilliants. From her sleeves
(by courtesy, OF rather shoulder straps,
hung strings of pearls, which h d curious
and novel effect. Her dress, too, had coet
1000 Ruineas, and on the white satin skirt
in front, as we'll as on the train, were OK
quisitely painted groups OF flowers" OF
her striking beauty, another correspondent,
writing from the south of France, gave
vivid description: "a daughter of the late
Sidney Herbert" he, said, "sho has little of
the remarkable intellectually either of her
father or Lady Herbert, the illustrious
convert to the church of Rome, and supe-
rior won an, of remarkable. qualities of
mind and heart. Her husband was yacht
ing while she was at Monaco. How one
prefers to be at sea, when on land one can
coll such dazzling creature ones own. is
one of those mysteries, which do not wish
to fathom. Tall, giraffe like, with. large,
dancing, beaming, lustrous eyes, chatting
and laughing all the time with somebody
or other, she lights up the casino by her
very presence, and she has such deer-ike
appearance that one would not be surprised
to meet her in some dense forest, and to

resembles the crown princess Of Denmark.
Lord Lonsdale, whose health compelled
him to abstain, at least temporarily, from
fast life, set out from England on the 14th
of January last for Madeira and the West
Indies, arriving at New York in his steam
yacht. the Northumbria, on the 25th of
March. On his voyage from Jamaica it is
worth mentioning, he noted some very Gu
rious notifications of the conditions and
currents of the gulf stream on the Ameri-
can coast. He returned to England on the
18th of April, two days after the countess
had given birth to daughter, SO that the
contents of the scurrilous letter, which is
making such a sensation in London, may
be in part imagined. His marine observa-
tons while in American waters may indicate
that, like many another sgilded youth" he
intends following stormy beginning Of
life by devotion to some mole useful pur-
suit. I may add that he has boughta thou
sand ton steamer and intends tryingt to reach
the North Pole from the other side of the
