The first—thss King of the Dresamakers—is hard at work enlarging his palace of fashion on the Bue de 1a Paix. A new serfes of rooms, opening out of a wide, well- lighted corridor, will shortly give space for the display of his unrivaled styles.

There isno donbt but that in his own line he is a real genius, and when to that qualification is added untir- iog industry and inexhaustible encrgy, it is no wonder that his creations in dress have attaio- ed to such world-wide colebrity. Oue thing about him that is very sstonishing is his mem< ory. Show him a piece of lace, for instance, and he will pensively remark, * Ab, yes, you bought that laco of ‘me in 1863. It waa then in a pale blue eilk, the skirt of which was cut go-and-s0, and trimmed in such a way, and it was looped at the side with a cluster of blush roscs, threa roses snd five buds to the cluster.” Absurd as the above may sound, it ia not one whit exaggerated, and yet the number of dresses that are annually sent out from his renowned atelier must amount to several thousand. From the Queen to the cocotte, all classes of female society coutess his power and bow boneath his sceptre. For there 18 nobody like him in all the wide range of Pa~ risisn dressmaking. Ho alone possesses that marvelous power of cnmblniuicolum together with that eabile, indefinable thing called “‘style” that cannot bo described, but yet is so real and 8o attractive. I have described 50 many dresses Iately that I hesitate to give a descrip- tion of the marvels Ihave recently beheld in this “Court of the King." One, however, & ball-dress intended for the young bride of Prince Milan of Bervia merits special mention. Itwas & rich pearl-colored eatin, the front croased with threo wide ecarfs the satin, fastened plsinly at one side and drawn up into praceful fulluess at the other, where they were met, by & long trail of exquisite roses, with buds and foliage. ‘The petals of these roses wero of & most beantiful and indescribable shade, some- i between pink and a pale crimson, and the combination of color with the silvery pearl of the satin was sumply marvelous. Worth is trim. ming this season silk house-dresses with vivid scarlet. The bows and sashes and flounces of one superb black sitk were all lived with a heavy searlet silk, while apother was trimmed with narrow bands of scarlet.

THE TRUE STORY OF MARGUERITE GAUTIER. Bays a Paris correspondent of the New York Graphic: At.the Gymnasse ‘‘Ls Dame aux Camellias™ is being played, with s Marguerile Gautier of rather differont quality from that de- lineated 50 often and so satisfactorily by Mile. Blanche Pierson. The present impersonator is Alle, Tallandiere, who gives to the Lady of the Camellias mote of a probable than ideal charae: ter. Itis well known that the original Mar- guerile Gautier was Marie Duplessis, who died in 1647, and whose monument is one of the fea- tares of tho Cemetery of Montmarire. Hor life was a romantic one—if an ill-regnlated lifo can ever be properly that. When a young girl, she was a griseite of the Latin quarter—pretty, delicate, and dirty! For some years she contin- ued to live in the same fashion, when she attractr]l the attention of a young man of very illustrions name in France, with no less a ftitle than that of Uuke, and soon after she was not unfrequeptly seen on his arm &t garden-concerts, n charming young woman in elogant attire. From tha time ghe belonged to the bean monde of sinners. Her elovation scemod to imbue within her no dispo- sition to lead a better life, but only urged her on to resolutely enter npon a more tempestuons courge. She was consumptive—half hygienic and half strategic. She went to the German baths, where she met the Count de S—, an old man of 84,—a Russian diplomat, who bad co- operated at the treaty of the Peace of Tlsitt. His heart was eore and tender over the rocent loss of a beloved daughter, who had died of con- sumption, apd he was struck with the resem- blance Marie Daplessis bore to this child. She had tho same pretty face, velvety eyes, elegance of figure, emalt hands and feer, and the same cough. The resnit was that ne in a sense adopted her to console him for his loss. Returniog to Paris in the role of a “family portrait,” Alarie ingtalled herself in luxurious apartments in the Boule- vard de ia Madeleine, where she ultimately died. The paternal adoration of the Gount left her abundant liberty, and her distractions were numerous and varied. She had her salon,— somo young men & la mode, a Baron of unhappy notoriety, the celebrated pianist -, who was generous a8 a Russian Prince ea passage, a horse-jockey (for euphony call bim a maquignon), who gave ber a magmificent pair of horses, and & poet, who brought her his young enthusissm, and [ater immortalize her,” But the phthisis advanced. Marie was remsrkably pretty—tall, moderate- 1y well-shaped, ignorant, without wit, but rich in instinet. Altbough a Normandy peasant by birth, ~ she some nobfe blood in her veins, being remotoly related to a historic name of which her own was a modification. Sho lied with tho greatest ease and readiness. ‘‘Falsehoods whitened the teeth,” she would eay. So she was not an ideal character; she only made ber mark in the history of beauty. During her last days she wanted to 3ee a play, and 60 was driven to the Palaie Royal Theatre, She was so feeble tha: she was carried to her box by two lackeys. That was the last time sho left her house. She rapidly failed from that time, and the Count-father, who was away, came home to find her dying. A devoted friecdd who Lad never left her watched over her until the last moment, and then shrouded her so beautifally that in death she was more beautiful than sho bad been in life. Her head was surrounded with point d'Alencon Isce ; her hands were arranged 50 a8 to hold a bonquet of camellias—her favor- ite ower—and in their midst was .deftly placed a tiny crucifix. Her coffin was filled with camel- ling, and for o year following her burial her grave was kent covered with-these perfurmeless tlowers carried and placed there by the *faith- ful.” The *‘poet™ waa not with her when she dindi,md when he retaroed, four months later, and heard that of all her train of lovers bat two had dared brave public criticiem enough to fol- low her coftin, he flung their cowardice in their faces by putting his scorn in the concluding stanzss of a commemorative poem. Then he gave her the aureole of she theatre, where she still lives, and coughs, and dies. The poet was Alexandre Uumas. A ROTHSCHILD PALACE. * which it is distant abont 2 miles, lies through s magnificent lawn leading to a wooded acelivity, npon the summit of which the mansion stands. From the towers the'view is one of the finest in the Midland counties, embracing on one side the ancient magor and village of Wing, on anotber the manor of Tring, - end on-a third the historic rite of Ivanhoe.: How the course of the world's history has been changed by the blow which an ancestor of John Hampden struck the Black Prince, the victor of Creoy and Poictiers, for which ‘¢ Tring, Wing, and Ivinghoe ™ were forfeited ! In the distance in the Vale of Aylesbury, and far away on the ridge of the Chiltem Hills the monument of the Dake of Bridgewater bounds the range of vision. Tring Park, owned by another of the Rothschild fmli‘y, iat’gid to be second in the beanty of its gardens only to Mentmore, but this 1 had no time to see. The subtropical gardens, vegetable gardens, the Nountain garden, and Italian gar- den occupiod us for hours. The firat is second, 1 suppose, only to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew ; the second embracos, with the fruit gar- dons, about 20 acres, the whole praceeds of which are consumed in the mansion. In one of the numerous graperies, o arranged as to fur- nish froit overy month in the year, Isawa single cluster of grapes which wounld weigh 6 pounds, the berrics on which were about the size of good large plums, and the most luscions I ever tasted. Oranges, figs, pineapples, bananas, and other tropical fruits consumed 1n the mansion are all grown in the conservatories of Mentmoro. When the Baronoss is absent, yachting in the Channel or at her London houso, orders by telo are sent to Mentmore daily for the supplies required. The vises in the Fountamz ang Italian gardens cost each £1,000. Tho statuary is al! of the most costly kind, exe- cuted by the first masters, many of them copies of originals which 1 saw in the Louvro or io the Rritish Museum. The gruat hall, which from the entrance seemed to me about 30 by 20 feet, 18 filled with vases and statuary. Its contents oust represent & valuo of notless thad £800,000. We wero not less than three hours pass- ing through the irooms. The finish is ex- quisite, aud the furnshiog of each sumptaous. Some idea may ba formed of the whole from the furpiture of a slogle bedroom, one of the many guest chembers, costing £25.000 or £30,000, In the diving-room and Baronial Hall ore . furnishings exceeding £200,~ 000 each. Costly cabinets of the time of Lauis XIV., of ebony inlsid with ivory orgold ; jewsled clocks made. of solid gold ; diamonds, rubies, and all other sorts of precious stones ; walls hung with tha costliost tanestry of the time of Lonis XIV., or covered with the richest needle-embroidered satin, may give some idea of the ;wealth lnvished on this more than princely mansion. The costliest paintings adorn the walls, and the most skillful and expensive workmauship is displayed. upon the ceilings, The ides of the Baron seems to have been to build and furnish & maosion such as no other erson in England, except perhaps the Duke of {‘Veszminswr. could hope to rival. The stud is 8aid to contain more high-bred horses than any in the world. It embraces thirty-five hunters and as many racers. Nome of which I heard were less in value than £G00, whilo many of them run upinto the thousands. * Favonius,” Macearoni, and ** 0ld Tom,” the 1ast a patriarch of high-bred racers we saw, cll winners of fa- mous races. For **Favonius £12,000 were re- fused, and for Maccaroni £7,100 were but re- cently paid. THE TROUBLE OF NAMING A BABY IN PARIS. I have just heard (says the Paria corre- spondent of the London Zelegraph) the ex- perience of an Englishman who tried to get his Daby registered in Paris. This gentleman, dwelling at Montrouge, bad a daughter born to him amid the sleet and snow of early spring. Hobhad heard how strict is Fronch law onall points of registration, and within the three days appointed he went to fulfill his duty at the Maire. ** Where, then, is the child?” asked a stern functionary. The parent explained that whatever be the hardihood of baby French girla, Enghsh mothers commoaly object to send their offspring out at three davs old in Febrnary. The clerk was but balf satisfied, and said so. The case secmed to him louche. Bat without pursuing that Bom further at present, ha begged to know Low the father meant to call his child. The father had, indeed, thought upon this most important question ; so had the mother. Bat they bad reached no conclusion. Was it ab- solutely needful, tho Enghshinan asked. to_give 5 Dame in registration ? ** Indispensable,” tha clerk replied, even more aternly. **Then,” samd our countryman, quite desperate, *‘put her down Mery Winifred Grace.” “ Write that!" exclaimed the clerk. It was written. * Mury, he observed, ‘‘is evidently an ignorant spelling for Marie,” and altered the word accord- ingly, ‘' Groce wauts an accent—circumticx ; bumph! not usual, bat it may pass. Winifred is & fantastic name, which, of course, we can't al- low. A female child, called Marie Grace—when born, and how ?” But the Englishman objected to bave Winifred thus cat out, and in_dudgeon {.ihey roferred him to the Procureur de la Repub- e, To that of ! he wont, and wss received politely. ** Winifred?

Well, at least o chavacter of Walter Scott, or soma other writer of moral fiction 2" Our com- patroit could not think of one Winifred in his- tory or romance to make a precedent «or his lit- tle daughter. Then L. le Procureur de Is Re- pnblia;xe changed his tune. He began to think, with the Maire of Montrogue that his case was Touche. *:Surely,” said he * you can show some of your family who have borne this strange name?” No, the perplexed father could not even do that. *“Then, sir, I can take nosuch regponeibility as to give permission. It may be an abuse of confidonce. I am not ignorant how eccentrio is your Engtish law. Without anthor- ization of the Embasay, I cannot interfere with the excellont Maire of Aontronge.” The parent’s British blood was now up. Wini- fred should this baby be called, and nothing else. He went to the Embassy, and they re- ferred him to a smiling Cousnl. Consu! heard his tale, shrugged his shoulders, and wrote a line,—five francs and a half to pay.

There and then they found 2 book desling with such matters, looked up the fact, and made a note of it. The Maire of Montronge was silenc- ed by an almanae, bug his clark growled audibly in writing Winifred. As to Marie and Grace, ho had his own French way there, and the young Iady will bear a circamflex to the end of Ler days. A DUKE'S ECCENTRICITIES. The Duke of Portland ia tho most eccentric, a8 well a8 one of the wealthiest peers now living. He owns immensely valuable property in Lon- don, and his income is at least 5,000 day. He has a passion for solitude. Though he has two fine houses in Cavendish Square, few Londoners have ever set eyes upon him. Even at Welbeck Abbey, where he passes most of his time, he lives 80 much alone that he will uot have any sorvants to wait upon him at dinner, bat has an apparatus by which tho table is lowered through the floor to the kitchen when it wants re- plenishing. Not that it often needs this, for the Duke has only two meals a dsy, at one of which half a chicken is served, and at tho other meal the other half. Occasionally be has visitors at Welbeck, but he pever soes them, though thu{vmny be in the house for weeks at a time. When he drives out he ia con- veyed in a vehiclo hung round with curtaimns, 8o that nobody can see in, and it is drawn by six Lillipotian ponies. The approaches to the ab- bey aro subterranean, and thers are 15 miles of tunoels on the estate, all well ventilated, and movy of them lighted day and night, and adoroed with sculptures, Thero is a splendid stable, where fifty hunters are kept, though the Duke never hunts. He haa & gal- lery of glass and iron a mile long, where they may exercise in all weathers. The Duke 18 Dow constructing three enormous subterranean libraries and a subterranesn church, and it has taken the workmen three years to excavate the ground.

Again there burst forth that Kflnrrid ory ; and Marston exerted his skill and strength in maintaining a mastery over the snorting horses. Anniette, looking ™ fear- fullv back, announced the unwelcoma tidings that they were pursued. * Yon must be cool dearest one, now, for both our sakes—for mine,” said the young English- man, as he cast a glance at the dark specks dot- ting the snow. *You can drive well, I know. ge ly lfia:p the horses to the road and all will yet well.’ As the young Countess took the reins, Edgar stooped for s trusty rifie, and Pl i deliberate aim at the foremost ‘wolf, now bonnd- ing far before the rest. The huge brute rolied over on the crimsoned anow, with a cry of rage and pain that was answered by the yell of the hurrying pack; and then succeeded a hideons medley of confused sounds, followed by a period of silence. *Have they given up the pursnit?” asked Anniette, with white lips, ‘as Marston reloaded his pieco. . ““No, no! " answered the. young man, shak- ing hig head. ‘¢ The creatares have but paused, 88 is their custom, to devour their wounded ct:lilr;de. It is but an instant’s breathing-time, which— /" Ho fired both barrels as he spoke into the thick of the advancing pack. Then ensued a ternible contest of speed ba- tween the gallant horses, wild with foar, ana the wily and eavage denizens of the Russian woods. Four more shots from Edgar's rifle bronght down as msny wolves, but they wero now too near, and too esgerin their raveuing fury, to be beaten off. The winding of the road, {00, enabled somo of the feaders of the pack to gzin upon tho fast-Oying sledge, and, With a rare andacity, to eudesvor to overleap its eides, while Edgar, flinging down the gno, slashed at Lho broad paws and hairy throats with Ll keen blade of his heavy hunting-kuife, and succeeded, though with dilliculty, in_disabling the two foremost of tha assailants. The third, slightly burt, etuok bhowling away; but 5 few ¥ards in the rear, tho clamor of the remainder of the fierce drovo told how ruthlessly the chase was maintainod. i “* There is but cnething to bo done,” muttered Edgar Marston, with a groan, £a he cast a de- spairing glance alony ihe road, and noted that nlready two of the ganut pursders wece nearly abreast of the sledge; ** Vasilkof, as I reckouv, is but threo versts from this, but belore we cover tho two miles that lie between us and safe:s, yondor yelling bratss will drag down our horsos and have ns at their merey. At any cost Anniette must be saved, and the wolves delaved.” He rose to his fee: 83 he spoke, and looked to the right and left. Closa to the roadside oa the left grew a mighty becch-tree. Could hie set his back to that troe, kill or crippio the fisst of the furious wolves, and swing lumself np among the lowor branches, out of reach of tho otbers lie might hzve yet'a chauce of life, whils the slodge would gain 8o much vantsge-ground that it could not essily be overtaken. Yes, the despar- ate veuture must bo risked. Hastily the young man Lisred Auniette’s cold cheek, and, tidding her be of good cheer, since he had devised & stratagem thet wonld oncwit the wolves, ho struck the stzaining horses sharp- ly with tho wlip, aad, with his burting-iuife betwean Ly teotls, took a clear leap over the luw Urashivood, and foll on his hauds aud kuees at tha foot of the beech-tree. * Edgar! Edgar!” criod the agovized girl, as vaialy she expended her strenrin in the effurt to rein in the terrified horscs. On they went like wind., while ths clamor of the exuiting wolves told ihat thoy had desisted from tho chase to crowd around au casy prey. Goaded by terror, tha horses flow slong the narrow road, which fortunately at_this part of would read tike a fairy tale. She goneraily gives her importunate lovers some absurd and im- possible thing to do, the condition being if they fail they shall trouble her no more. [t° is whispered ' that & certain well-known member of Parhament is not indifferent to her charms or her fortune, and that one night while a great debate was in prog- ress the Indy dispatched her amorons swain, with o blackened face and striped coat, and a big rol of musio under each arm, to the classic precincts of Bt.

Dur- ing the sermon she amused herself by twisting the parasol ronnd and rouna, and bobbing it up and down, to the mingled horror and amusement. of the beholders. I believe that the Vicar has gince waited on the lady, and that more will be heard of she matier, HARD PRESSED, “ Btop, gospodin, stop! In the name of the bleesed Penagia, rein up, and hear me!
