It was soon after the explosion of the story that the sage of Greystone was engagred be married to Miss Nellie Hazelame, of St. Louis, that he met the echarming young lady from Now Orleans, Miss Hazeltine was a blonde, with rich, golden hair. Miss Stauffor is between a branette and a blonde, of that type styled in New Orleans Chataigne. Miss Hazeltine, who reigned as the belle of St. Louis until she married young Mr. Parramore, is now vl Miss Stautter is with her family in Europe In 1880 or 1881 Mr. Tilden met Miss Mary Celeste Staufler, and immediately: fell in love with her. Isanc Stauf! her father, is the senjor partner of the Stauffor, Macready & Co., the largest hardware establishinent in New Orleans and perhavs in the south. He comes of an old Pennsylvania _Duteh family, and stillowns afarmnear York, Pa. Hiseldest danghte Alice, married Henry Preston, of the flour tirm of Howard & Preston, also of New Orleans. Miss Celesto is the youngest of four children, two of whom are sons. Every summer the family leave New Orleans for a trip east or to Europe, and they » usnally the first of that hegira of southern society which annually sceks comfort and intercourse away from th ing brick pavements of the Creses City. Most of the time they spend at Rich- field Springs, oceasionally visiting Sara toga or Long Branch. Last summer they spent ashort time at Lennox, Mass, For three vears they visited at Greystone on Mr. Tilden's invitation. In the summer of 18582 the Stauflers remained at Long Branch for a time, occupying one of the cottagesattached to the West End hotel. He Miss Stanfler received twice every week from Mr, Tilden a long letter. Con sidering hat they wore not under pronis ise of marriage, this correspondence, whatever its thenie might have been, was sufliciently remarkable” without My den’s making it almost historieal by the cceentricity of its delivery, He would not trust the postal servies Nor would he condeseend to nire an ordinary mes: seng On the stipulated days a gentle- man of social standing, such as permit- ted the confidence of the aged statesman received trom his own hands the missive, with the mjunction to surrender it only to the fuir consignee personally.

Incidontally, per- haps, she related to Mr. Tilden the mcH' n- choly history of one of her schoolmates, whose father lost his fortune by the war, and with it vamshed the social vrestige of his daughter, The brave girl mude every effort to gain o livelieood in the limited sphere of occupation afforded in New Orleans to respectavle young women.

Miss Staufler’s charactor is that ambitious, highty intellectual woman, who saw in a marriage with Mr, Tilden all the possibitities of boing the fivst lady in the land. Her frequent enjoyment of the hospitality of Greystone was not so miuch a trimph for her alone, as Mr. ‘Tilden loyed to have the somber chateau beautified with the presence of young womanhood, Her manners, conversation 1d insouciant grace and airs, acquired from the naive Creoles of New Orleans, fuscinated the old man. Sne seemed to be very fond of Mr. Tilden, and antici- patod “his every wish, even in the most trivial attentions at the table or in the presence of a socinl gathering. Her glorious physique displayed on” horse- 1k was the object of Mr, Tilden’s un- disguised admiration. Sha is an intrepid and accomplished cquestriennc, Miss aufler'’s greatest art for the enchant. ment of men, both young and old, lay in her conversational’ powers.
