On the other side, drags. But 1t Is
funny how his name has come up again,
as understood that he had buried his
alleged nobility since he opened an old
bric-a-brac shop in Picadilly, London"
"Have you ever seen the marquis?'
the writer inquired.
"Never, but | am informed he is a
cross between a whiskered Austrian
general and an Assyran bull, as to his
tonsorial arrangements. They say he
is bald on the top Of his head, and that
he wears kind of a semiwig formerly
known as toupee which he fixes with
hairpins on the top of his bald pate by
the aid of his long back hair which he
has allowed to grow to fully twenty
inches, and plasterS it in position by
the further aid of bears grease with
which he also luhricates his trailing
mutton-chop whiskers. Shocking to
relate it is rumored that he paints his
ears shell color india inks his eyebrows,
darkens under his eyelidS to make him
look interesting, rouges his cheeks and
works up the rest Of his complexion
with the Bloom Of NinOn. 1t
may not be very genealogical
to tell you, but valet of
his let 1t out also, that he wears under
clothing heavily padded on the chest,
back, thighs and calves which are a
proper accompaniment to his high
heeled boots that are narrow at the edge
with point in the centre OF the sole to
give height TO his figure"
That is more or less personal and
reminds me of question | want to ask
you. What about his red ribbon deco
tion?"
The answer was: Mr.. William Oil
yer, the ce-divant Marquis de Leuville,
claims, in addition to being a nObleman,
that he is also a grand Officer OF the
Legion of Honor, for he is not contented
with being a simple chevalier except it
be chevalier of industry. Since he
has gone into the old furniture business
| think | can also safely style him what
the French satirically call gentle
homme chifTonier,' or in vulgar Ameri-
can gentleman of the sidebcard."

New YORK, June 5.-"Isn't it too
sweet for anything: my dear old friend
and school-felow has gone to England
to be married.
"And Miriam will wed the marquis,
lord OF high degree.
The speaker was friend Of Mrs.
Frank Leslie, and she thus announced
to the writer the approaching wedding
OF that distinguished literary lady to
the most noble, the Marquis de Leu
vile. Then she proceeded:
"She deserves d good husband if any
woman ever did. We first became ac-
quainted at fashionable boarding
school as long ago as 1915. | often used
to visit her father and mother, Mr.. aud
Mrs Charles follin, at their home on
Bleecker street during the holidays, rs
our people were well acquainted with
them. Then later knew her brother,
who became the agent of Lola Montez
in San Francisco and accompanied her
on her tour to Australia. Poor fellow. he
committed suicide by throwing himself

had left school after the sad interview
between her mother and the famous
actress, and how she threw herself at
Mrs. Folin'S feet, saying: i have
killed your son. | have killed your
SON.
"This was about the time, yes, it was
in 1854 when Mrs. Leslie married her
first husband, Mr.. David Charles Pea
cock, but he treated her very badly and
divorce was obtained in the Supreme
Court of New York, by Judge James
Roosevelt. Yes, the marriage was de-
clared null and void in 1856. Her dear
friend, Lola Montez, then obtained per-
mission from Mriam'S mother to per
nit her to go upon the stage, for which
she declared Miriam had natural apti-
tude. They travelled together as Sis
tiers, and | remember seeing in an illus
trated paper an engraving of Lola Mon
tez and Miriam crossing the Hudson at
Albany, in the midst of ice, in a small
boat to keep their engagement in that
city.
"But the best of friends must part, "
she continued, land it was well for my
friend that it was TO, for no theater was
ever good enough for her. She was too
great a genius and heroine, and the
world of society and letters was her
stage. She married again, and this
time to Hon. Ephraim George Squier,
the celebrated author, whom she accom-
panied to Central America, at the time
he was United States minister and
negotiated treaties with Nicaragua,
Honduras and San Salvador. You know
he wrote quite number Of books, very
learned ones, and he was the editor of
Frank Leslies Illustrated Paper. They
were married in 1858, at Providence, X.
l., and then he was well off, because
besides being a great diplomat and
author, he was also president OF rail-
road with large income. Squier, how
ever, struck bad times and it turned

but had other bad habits which forced
dear Miriam to obtain a divorce from

"She was then free to marry Frank
Leslie, whose real name was Henry Car
ter. and who was an Englshman. All
the world knows about her since those
DAYS. what a society leader she was and
how on one occasion she appeared at a
reception to Governor Tilden, made
