Mrs. Leslies French Noblemaa.

H.esHo ScNs.
 Mrs. Frank Leslie, who IS soon to be married to the Marquis de Ieuville. IS sad 10 be the sinartest business woman Tn New York. By her sagaeiiy and pru- denoe the estate left by her husband, who seems to have been an extravagant bon vivant. has been raised from bank ruptcy into condition of great prosper Ity. She Is wondrously charming lady, or handsome, uignined presence, varied and remarkable con- versatlonal powers. The marquis IS younger than Mrs. Leslie, and IS sad to De most engaging gentleman. He has great wealth and Is closely devoted 10 literature and art. Not lorg ago he published volume of nieritorious po- ems. Last fall he overheard a foreign nobleman make slighling remark about Mrs. Leslie and the result was a duel, fought Tn Belgium. l; Is believed that this incident had much to do with bring ing the fair widow to terms. The mar quis has the reputation of being one of the best pis.ol-shots in the world. The announcement of his early marriage 10 Mrs. Leslie is by no means a surprise, although ii has been var;ously hln,ed that the lady was enamored of Joaquin Miller, the poet. The truth is, tha, Ms. Leslie has always admired Miller, bur whatever she has done for him has been done purely from a desire to encourage a man whose gifts and powers she deemed worthy of encouragement.

Chattanooga Peoples Paper


 Oh, Mir. Editor, do tell me who wrote those dreadful verses you published the other day. so full of repining and breath ing such rebellious spirit. They mus, have been written by some man who has been made desperate by misfortune You arc mistaken, my dear madam. The verses you refer to were written by one of the sweetest and gen,les, women in the city, a loving wife and mother who is as happy-hearted as the day is long
 Is it possible can hardly believe 1t. But the swee, lady must have made amends by writing those tender lines about the home of the heart. so full of deep religious sentiment
 ' Oh no yor are mistaken again. The tender lines were written by dashing blade who runs a faro bank. and who amuses himself abou, once week by getting as drunk as billed owl. g

Turguenieff s Eccentric Mother. i.

A Russian paper publishes a pen-p;ct- ure of the mother of Turguenieff which IS anything but hatteying. IL appears that this lady was proud and vain to the point of folly, ruling her children as des- poically as her slaves. She was as proud ct her noble descent as of her riches, ar d after she became widow her arrogance knew no bounds, so that this woman, who oy nature was anything bat foolish, seemed mad. She ordered her house hold like to royal one her serfs bore the titles of office n use at court. Thu, her postboy was called postmaster zen erai, her steward chief of the geEdarmes and so forth. No one might speak 10 her unless addressed. Not even he. son. might appear in her presence anan- nounced. Ard when her eldes, sor. Nicholas. married without her consen: snc withdrew from flim al. peeuniar, ais1 and lei him sufier the most cruel priva- tons.

IHarPer's Magazine fer Aprl.l
 If, formerly, it was enough to be in so- ciety, II is now not enough. To be in society means nothing if there be q higher rank in society. There Is, taen, alter all, cream of the cream, a finer bloom, higher height To be part of this can how alone sx.isfy. But how is the altitude to be gained!
 An. &ho can tell how hard il is 10 eliml. .''
 The qualifications for the higncs; rank are, however, readily described. lnselli- gence. refinement, generous sympathy. intellectual freedom, urbanity, tac, and good nature are all, of course. indispen- sao!e. Aaectat,on, vuigari ', ignorance, oetent4iion, selhshntss ara boonshnes, are clearly incompatible with attainment of the highest rank of society people Nt, cultivation, sim plioity and nobility oi iee.,ng these supersede money IS :. qualification.

Don't Deserve Sympathy.
Topeka Kan. Free Lance.


 In this age of newspapers, l have no sympathy for man who IS foolish enou. h to be swindled by the most bare fact d frauds. Such man was one Pointer of Windheld, who, last week. fell in with a couple of nice fellows while on this way home from Kansas City, and who accom- modatingly bought of them Ssoo share Tn silver m,ne, only to ind he had been iieeced. The confidence men escaped, and am glad of il if any one neeo s punishm mt, It should be added to Poin- ter 5 portion. If a m 4n Is simple enough to buy mine share from strangers, un der the circumstances narrated, he de- serves to lose his money, and Is entitled to no sympathy. Every trick of these confidence workers has been laid bare by the press, yet day af{r day we read of some wealthy and reputable citizen being taken Tn by the most palpable frauds frauds through which it seems any one could see. There are too many people of the Pointer class in the country, who are foolish enough to roam al large with considerable money, yet who could no, tell hawk from a handsaw when it comes to the ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. They know nothing of the world nor of its manners They are taken in and done for by the mos, brazen snappers up of unconditioned trifies,' and then poo-hoo at the degen- generacy of mankind and the absence of honor.

 Matthew Arnold thinks that the major ity of American women look pale, un- happy and careworn. Very likely the majority of the American women that Matthew saw were, and were every bit as unhappy and careworn as the looked.
