ter-in-law, the priuccssc Bibesco, another
Roumanian grande dame, shares the same
passion, and her salon IS more exclusively
musical Comtesse Patocka is Il first class
pianist. These foreign ladies', however,
find their match in some of the French
beauties.

The fine voices in society are equally nu-
merous. The Nicomtesse de Tredern is
frequently heard at her own musical sol
rtes in the Place Nendome. But the finest
voice of all the gr;indc danes Of Paris is
that possessed by the Comtesse de Guerne,
nee de Segur. 1t is warm, deep, thrill
ing in tone, and would prove a fortune to
its owner under other circumstances. She
was Gounod's favorte pupil, who trained
her musical talents from infancy and was
always one of the best friends of her fam
lily circle. Many Of these ladies belong to
the true Concorda, q musical association
Of persons in fashionable society, which on
one occasion gave the entire Redemption
Of Gounod in one Of the Paris churches.
Such is an imperfect picture of what is
left of the 'old society" of France. The
ladies have grand names, many of which
are famous in the history, literature and
diplomacy Of the past. They often have
wealth, grace and wit. But the new society
of France, the bourgeoisie Of the modern
monarchy aud of the republic, possess
scores OF women whose manners mind and
heart equal and often surpass those Of the
most high born grande dame of "the noble
Faubourg" And this is as it should be in
an age where titles Of birth have lost much
OF their old value and significance.

Value of Knowing How to Sketch.

An artists habit of quick and accurate
observation sometimes stands him in good

was heard OF the famous Mulready, while

the mans fnce very carefully and took the
sketch to Bow street. The robber was

STANLEY'S EYES.


Their Peculiar Expression Gives Him y
Marvellous Influence.
The marvellous influence which STAN
ley exercised, not only over his Zanzi-
bari followers, but also over all the ma
tives with whom he was brought into
contact during his trans-African expedi-
ton. is attributed by his European COM
panions to the peculiar expression Of
his eyes. One OF the latter describes
them as follows: ''He first looks at the
natives as if he was going to eat them,
and then, when they give in and do
what he wants, he looks as il he had
done SO and was grateful to them for the
meal" His eyes are stated frequently
to display that strange. far-away light
which constituted the most striking
characteristic Of the late General Cor
don's personal appearance. Gordon. like
Stanley, seemed to possess kind OF
supernatural infiAncc over the natives
of Africa. who regarded the puny and
delicate-looking little General with the
same awe as they manifest toward Stan
ley.
SANKEY'S present visit to Cairo recalls
the fact that the first time he passed
through the Egyptian metropolis was
in 1868, when on his way to join the
British expedition to Abyssinia. On
that occasion England spent sum Of
4s. 900. 900 to effect the rescue of eight
persons from the cruel hands of King
Theodore. Stanley now returns after
lapse of twenty-five eventful years to
the banks Of the Nile with the proud
consciousness of having rescued three
hundred persons at cost to England Of
$50, 600. Stanley's reception on his ar
rival at Cairo was more magnificent
and enthusiastic than any that have
ever been accorded to the crowned
heads, special Ambassadors or victorious
Generals who have passed through the
Khedive's capital during the last thirty
wears. The most characteristic feature
of the scene, however, seems to have
been the fact that apparently uncon-
ccrned by the ovation with which he
was greeted, Stanley's sole preoccupa.
ton was about the safety Of his bag
cage.-N. Y. Tribune.

arrived at the Castle of Hoch-O -Oster-
witZ, which it was my special object to
visit. This one could hardly call a
piece Of embodied history. 1t was sOme-
thing better-it was q piece Of en-
bodied romance. 1t looked exactly as
if it had walked out of story-book.
1t stood in a country of green, pine.
covered mountains, between which wan.
dercd fiat pasture and plow-lands. 1t
was on a mountain itself. or rather on
an isolated rock which was covered with
pine woods, except where its sides were
precipitous.
The entrance was halfway down, by a
gate in low gray tower; and this ad-
mitted one to an ascending road, which
wound round the rock, till at last il
reached the summit. All the way it was
fianked with battlements, and it passed
in it's ascent through fifteen more towers,
and across three drawbridges. The
castle proper was built upon an irregu-
lar court, and was surrounded at various
levels by courts of a smaller size, brack-
cted against the rock. One of these
contained q miniature garden; one a
chapel with q spire. In the principal
court there was another chapel, which
was smaller. with worm-eaten wooder
seats that would accommodate, perhaps,
sixteen people.
One of the two seats nearest the altar,
found, when I entered, was occupied
by kneeling figure. 1t was the life.
size effigy of knight in full armOr,
extending toward the crucihx his hands
clasped in prayer.
The castle was not q ruin; it was
proof against wind and weather; but its
proprietors had not lived in it for hun.
dred and fifty years Its sole inhabit-
ants now were n custodian and his only
son.
The family portraits, however. were
still KEEP. here-most of them quaint and
curious: but. regarded as works of art,
they were interesting only from their
childish and barbarous crudeness. They
were arranged in suite Of long, white
washed rooms--the principal rooms in
the castle.
In one of these was a rude baronial
diniag-table: and two others, without
any exaggeration, were half blocked up
with heaps OF antique armor. In the
cour: outside were two huge copper wa
ter-tanks. patched with the mendings OF
a, least three centuries.-W. Il. Nal
