[GIasgow Letter to Brooklyn Esglel
 A strange story of interest to you on the other side of the Atlantic, is current in good society here. Of course the names of the parties are known, but it may not be advis. able to reveal them to the public although, as you will see, I have communicated them confidently to you in an accompanying note. You have, as we learn from your newspapers, 8 class of men known as bonanza kings and the narrative I about to give immediately concerns the business partner of one of these moneyed magnates. Unlike those who rise to afhuence suddenly by what we may term stroke of luck, this man of good family and we'll educated. He joined his fortunes to those of 8 man who has since risen to fab
 ulcus wealth in your country. He had two daughters healthy, good looking, well-be. haved girls. Their mother died and left them on their fathers hands at tender age.
 He WAS necessarily away from home great deal, and was anxious to secure for his daughters such an education as his large and growing means would permit. He had had business relations with an English member of Parliament, whom I will call MT. M, and a sort of friendship had grown up between them. It arranged that the girls should go to England-or rather to Scotland-to finish their education and be the inmates of
 Mr. Ms home. Thither they were sent &C.,
 cordingly. They were furnished with most ample means, and Mir. M. was requested to spare no expense in securing for them the ablest tutors, and in affording them all the
 facilities of innocent enjoyment which money could procure. They took up their abode in Mir. Ms splendid mansion in Lancashire. Masters and governesses were engaged to in
 struct them. Their apartments were elegant ly provided, and they had servants, male and female, at their behest. They had ponies to ride or drive, and vehicles of all descriptions A mounted groom followed them when talk ing exercise on horseback, and liveried footman attended them driving. Professors of all sorts waited upon them daily, and they became proficient in music, drawing, paint ing and the modern languages. When they reached the age of eighteen and twenty re- spectively they were handsome and accom- plished and popular among an extended cir cle of friends. young gentleman of large expectations was paying attention to the cid CT and the younger had many admirers. It was known that their father was very veal thy, and that he supplied them with unlimit ed means and it was expected, of course, that the fortunate man who married either would receive with her a splendid dover. In the meantime the girls lives were filled with happiness. They spent part of their time in Staffordshire, with friend of their guardian and were frequent visitors at the houses of many of the best Catholic families, th,ir mother having been Catholic and them selves having been brought up in that faith When they were thus in the very heyday of youth and happiness terrible misfortune be-
  Nothing was said of his estate, and the girls supposed that everything was in the hands of faithful friends. Their guardian paid them an allowance as usual, and they retained their
 horses, carriages and servants, and continued their expenses as heretofore.
 Within six months of their fathers death
 their guardian also died, leaving large
 tate Then t>e girls discovered that they
 were paupers and that since their fathers death remittance had been forwarded from America, their guardian making them an allowance out of his own means. They sold off their horses and carriages and dls
 charged their servants. The younger is now governess in highly distinguished family near this city, and the elder holds similar position in noble family in Spain.
 What has become of their fathers large es- tate is not known but it is said that his agent in New York, a we'll lawyer, has be come suddenly wealthy and has just made an expensive and elaborate tour of Europe with hisfamtiy. What is to be done, if anything, I cannot say. There are persons here, how ever, who are very desirous of having the matter investigated, and if an able Scotch lawyer should visit your country for that purpose you need not be surprised, though somebody else may be.
