Two girl*, both young, and one very beautiful, sat conversing in a comforta ble sitting-room iu s mansion at the West End. The ham isomer of tlie two, Maude Pierson, wore a traveling divas of brown nioriuo, and was evidently rest ing after a journey. In spite of certain languor Iniru of fatigue, and her unbecoming dross, the girl was undeniably a beauty, of a gor geous brunette type. Her companion, passing prettv, was of the same .lark tint, but smaller iu figure, and far from possessing Maude's great Ivautv " Tell me about everybody,' Maude said. "lam fairly hungry for gossip after vegetating nearly two yean* iu that abominable place with my aunt. She ha* left me an ample fortune, however, so the time was not altogether thrown awav." ""Dead?" cried her companion. "Ton are not in mourning, and—why, Maude, yon said yon were going to Lady Rals ton'* this"evening." "So I am. Aunt Maria has leeu dead six months, and requested me not to wear black and to return to town in No vember. But, Cora, tell me the news. Who has been tlie belle of our set since I left?" " You conceited girl!" laughed her friend. • • Bah ! What is the use of duplicity ? For, between ourselves, I should be an idiot if I did not know 1 was handsome. How is Lord Frederick Seymour?" " One question at a time, though I can answer these two together. The belle has been the object of Lord Frederick Seymour's special devotion since she made her debut last month. Mrs. Horsey introduced her. She is a niece, I believe, of old Mrs. Mortimer, who died three years ago and left her all her money." " But who is she?" " Het name is Worthington—Lsuier Worthington." " Esther Worthington ?" cried Maude, slnuply. " What is she like ?" " Tall, slender, very fair, with delicate features, and unmistakably a beauty, who sings exquisitely; and, having been on the continent with Mrs. Mortimer, speaks two or three modern languages with fluency." " How old ?" "Abont your age, I judge—twenty four or five. " Maude broke into a harsh laugh. " Mrs. Mortimer's niece !" she cried. " Well, that is rich! And so young Lord Frederick Seymour is in love with her !" 44 He is certainly very devoted. Every body thinks it will be a match." 44 A match J" cried Maude, in another burst of mocking merriment, 44 Lord Frederick Sevmour and Esther Worth ington ! Well, well! I tell you," she said, with a touch of sarcasm in her tones, 44 it w ill not be a match ! I will take her down." 44 What do you mean ?" 44 Will this belle be at Lady Ralston's this evening?" 44 Probably. Bnt do tell me, Mande, what von know abont her ?" 44 1 know 4 enough to cool Lord Fred erick Seymour's ardor," said Maude; 44 and he shall learn the truth. To think of that girl's daring to move in our set!" "Well, as to that," Cora replied, "being handsome, accomplished, re fined, and heiress to doable your for tune, Maude, I cannot see where the audacity comae in, especially as Mrs. Hursey has her for a guest, and we all know Low particular she is. The Sey mours themselves are not prouder than the Hurseys." " You wait until the evening ! I sup pose the girl thinks nobody here knows her. IH humble her! She won't attend anv more fashionable parties after I've told my story!" " But what is your story ?" "You'll hear to-night." "Tell me now," Cora said, coaxingly. " No. Let me lie down awhile and rest, or I shall look like a ghost this evening." A very brilliant ghost it would have beeu to resemble Maude Piersoa, as she entered Lady Balaton's saloon a few hours later. An evening dress of garnet velvet, cut to display the beautifully rounded shoulders ami arms, and trimmed with rich black lace, ornaments of diamonds, and a cluster of white flowers in the jetty braids of hair, all heightened her queenly beauty. Looking across the crowded room, she recognized her rival in a tall, slender girl, who wore white lace over peach colored satin, and ornaments of fretted gold. Lord Frederick Seymour was already in attendance, apparently, for he was leading this lady to the head of a quadrille just forming when Maude en tered. The sight stimulated anew all the hatred of Esther Worthington that had been roused by Cora's description. A cold-hearted, calculating woman, deyoted to dress, wealth and luxury— selfish to her heart's core, carrying the smiling face of a belle over a bitter envy of all more fortnaate than herself— Maude Pierson had never felt the touch of womanhood until her heart opened to Lord Frederick Seymour. An orphan, dependent upon an aunt devoted to the frivolities of fashion, Maude's educatiou had been superficial, and an undue value had been given in her thoughts to the advantages of birth, position and fortune. Miss Piereon was very proud of the blue blood in her own veins; and Maude's success as a belle was as much a triumph to her aunt as to hereelf. When the long illness set in that drove Miss Pierson to the seclusion and quiet of a country home, her niece had begun to hope that the attentions of " Lord Fred." were more than those called for by the ordinary requirements of Bociety. It had been a great blow to her to be suddenly whirled out of the vortex of London gaiety, to be buried alive in the little town where much of her childhood had passed, under her aunt's care. But she was far too polite to murmur loudly, and when her relative died, it was with the firm ponviction that all Maude's ten der care and devotion were dictated by warmest affection. It was singularly characteristic of Miss Piereon that in her will she stipulated that Maude should return to London six months after her death, and wear no mourning. In one of their last interviews she said to her: "You will soon be twenty-five, Maude, and you shall not bury yourself here next winter. It might ruin your pros pects of a good match." And Maude, secretly exultant, wept copiously ns she assured her dear aunt that " Society would have no charms for her were she to be deprived of her life long companion." Yet the six months dragged wearily when she thought of Lord Frederick Seymour, Would he love her better for lier golden charms, or did he know her fortune, after all was small, compared with his own princely income ? Hail a fairer face eclipsed her memory ? Carefully during the long summer did the beautiful brunette cherish her owu charms, and gloriously did they repay her care when she burst up* hi her old friends, more superbly handsome than ever, at Ladv Ralston * reception. Esther \Vorthington. looking at her as she entered the room, turned to her conipaniou, saying, iu a low ti>ue: 44 1* not that Mis* Pierson ?" "Yea. I* she not handsome?" 44 Maguificently so! I can s-iaroely imagine a more queenly beauty. She was not a very pretty child, dark and thin. Will she recognise me, 1 wonder, a* eaailv a* 1 do her ?" 44 You were children when you last met ?" "About twelve years old; but we lived near each other for six years before that. Will she look down upou me now as scornfully as she did tliou ?" 44 Hush, iron pain me!" was tlie re ply. 44 Try U> forget the dark days." 44 Nav, for they make happy one* all tlie brighter," was the gentle reply. 44 Row to your partner 1" For the music of tliequadrille sounded in the long room, and attention was re quired to the intricacies through which Miss Worthington and her partner pro posed to lead their set. When it was over, Esther, leaning on her partner's arm, turned to find herself confronting Maude Pierson. With a sweet smile, she extended her hand. 44 Have you forgotten me ?" she asked. 44 1 remember yon well, 44 was tlie re ply, ill a freexiug time, 44 and I ixiufeaa my surprise is very great to meet a chantv girl amongst my friend*." 44 A* charity girl! cried several voices. 44 Yon may doubt me," said Mainl, answering them, 44 but let Miss Worth mgton deny, if she can, that she was taken from a cliantv school to be tlie nursery maid of Mrs. Thumton, my aunt's * cousin and neighbor. Let her ilouv, if she can, that ahe dnl a menial's work for years in their house. She may palm herself off as Mrs. Mortimer's uieoe upon strangers, but I, knowing her, decline tlie honor of her acquaintance." The delicate, beautiful Esther Worth ington grew very pale during tliia in sulting address, but she drew herself erect as haughtily as Maude Plenum herself, as that young lady ceased to speak. 44 All you have said is quite true," she replied, " and my only reason for con cealing tlie facts you now force upon my friends was the request of my dear aunt, Mrs. Mortimer. Mrs. Huraey.Ladv Ral ston, and several other* of those who honor me with their friendship, know well the family history you force me to relate to our friends here. You will par don me for obtruding my private affairs upou you; but since Miss Plenum has *ttacked my veracity, I must defend it. Mv parents were marned against the wishes of my mother's father, who car ried his resentment to tlie grave, and cut my mother out of lus will. When I was a babe, my father died; and my mother, ill, feebie, penniless, was taken to the workhouse when* she, too, died. Her sister, Mrs. Mortimer, was in Cana da at the time, andjuuaware of my exist ence. 44 What Miss Pierson lias so delicately told yon of my childhood is quite true. I was taken from the workhouse to till s servant's place; bat my employer* were kind, and 1 was allowed to attend school in the winter. I think they will testify that if my duties were menial, they were faithfully performed. When I was thir teen, my aunt returned home and found me ont, Since then I have been her charge, and the kindest love was lavish ed upon me me until, at her death, I be came tlie guest of my friend, Mrs. Hur sey. I hope you will pddon me for tak ing np so much of your time; and if you desire, with Miss Pierson, to decline the farther acquaintance of a workhouse girl, I can only accept your decision with some regret for a deceit that was only in accordance with the wishes of the dead." 44 Stay a moment," said Lord Frede rick Seymour, as the friends of the beautiful girl wonld have pressed more warmly than ever around her; 44 let me speak "one word. By the request of Miss Worthington, I have retained from men tioning the honor she has conferred upou me, and which is the crowning pride and happiness of my life. When I asked her to become my wife, to give me the priceless treasure of her love, she told me the story you have just heard, and I, too, joined mv entreaties to those of her aunt "Not, Le added, haughtily, 44 that I valned my future wife the less, but that I understood that, even in our so ciety there are.some ignoble enough to count her early misfortunes as a shame ful fact, and if nore the beauty of char acter that ocnld keep her noble, pure and true, even in the lowlv home to which the misfortunes of her parent* condemned her. Miss Worthington will yon take my arm to the conservatory ? yon are pale, and need rest" With an air of tender affection, of fond pride, he led her through the group of friends who spoke warmest words as she passed. Fiudifig her a seat near the fountain, he said, in a low tone ; 44 1 am glad thev all know it, Essie, for a secret is u, troublesome burden." 44 Bnt, you—oh, Fred, if it shames yon " 44 Hush! I never honored you so highly, or loved you so fondly, as I did when that girl ionnd insulting tannts answered by roar own dignified frank ness. We will not speak of it again. Rest here till I bring yon an ice, and we will return to our friends. 44 " Maude," Cora said, as the girls un bound their hair in their own room tie fore retiring, 44 1 don't think your little scene was altogether a success. From the warmth of her friends, when Esther Worthington returned to the drawing room, and Lord Frederick Seymour's devotion, I reallv imagine you placed that lady upon a higher pedestal of favor than ever, in yonr amiable endeavor to take her down." A Moth Exterminator Wanted. Miss Grundy has returned to Wash ington and says : 44 The residence of ex-Senator Stewart, of Nevada, generally known an 4 Castle Stewart,' has been rented, I hear, for $6,000 for tlie session. This is q startling reduction, as the price jer annum was fixed at $lB,- 000 heretofore. It was reduced proba bly because the superb furniture, cur tains and carpets have all been rained by moths during the two years it has been without a tenant. The upholstery was very costly and elegant. The richly embroidered satin which covered the chairs, sofas, etc., in the parlors, as well as the Gobelin tapestry curtains, was purchased at the last Paris exposition, and brought here to be made np. Ido not think moth ever cut silk or satin, hat all the materials containing wool in the house, including the Gobelin tapes try, which draped many of the windows of the parlor floor, have been seriously, if no irreparably, injured. Ex-Senator Stewart, has occasionally lived there since his family went to California, but only as a lodger, and the rooms have not been opened and aired properly, other wise the moths might have been sub dued, though they are always more difficult to exterminate here than in any other place with which I am acquainted. Greatness In a Hovel. A war correspondent says: Gorny Studen is a wretched village of a few hundred inhabitants, the Turkish quar ter being on one hill and the Bulgarian on the op)x>site height. The former is deserted by its proprietors and the houses have been unroofed by soldiers to get at the wooden rafters, fuel being scarce in northern Bulgaria. The only building remaining in this part of the village is occupied by the emperor of all the Russias. It is built of unburnt clav bricks, and its low root covered with rongh tiles. Here in this hovel the auto crat passes his days and nights, anxiously awaiting news from hiß various armies in the field. There is no pomp surround ing this humble imperial residence; two Circassians on the guard with drawn sa bers were, when I first saw it, all that stood between the czar and the outside world. A short distance from the house is a large tent, where the emperor dines at six with his staff and invited guests On the opposite side of the little street or road is the tent of Gen. Ignatieff.

Paul Luhn, one of the Reiche Broth ers' meu, who ha* lately returned from Africa with rare birds and animal*, tell* interesting stories of the peril* of the hunt. He says • " The lion i* a fierce creature, and tlie hone**, when protect ing her youug, very much worse ; but frotu long practice we know juat ho* to go after them. A good rifie, firm hand*, and steady eye*, and we can soon topple the old fellow over. The old lady tuay take a little longer, but iu the end we are sure to kill her, anil then it is no trouble to pick up and secure the cub. We try to get these little fellows when they are aland three or four weak* old. They are then like youug puppies, easily managed, and aoou learn to know their keeper*. Leopards, tigera, and all that kind of animal* we get tu the same way, and at about the same age. Babv ele phant* are hard to get, and the hunt is very ihuigerou*. The old one* smun to know instinctively when we are after their vouug, and their rage is something terrible. The truui|>etiug of the parent* can be heard for a long distance, und quickly alarrna the whole herd. The ride is comparatively useless, and try ing to approach them t>articularly haz ardous ; yet it ha* to be done. First, we try to* distract the attentiou of the female from her offspring. Then a na tive creeps cautiously up from behind, anil, with one cut of a heavy, hroad bladed knife, severs tlie tendons of her hind feet. She is then disabled, cannot walk, and aoun falls to the ground. We promptly kill her, secure the ivory, and capture the little one. Of course, we occasionally have a native or two killed in tins kirn) of hunt ; but thev don't ovist much—only $5 or st> apiece, 'f he sheikhs are paid in advance, and don't care whether the poor fellows come back, and so we don't 1 Hither much about them. Baby elephant* we like to get when they are about one year old. Younger one* are too tender, and older one* know too rnnoli. They soon get acquainted wnh all the camp, and we have lots of fun with them. They are are kindly, docile, and as full of capers a* the little nigger babies that play with them. '• But of all fierce, ungovernable, losty brutes," the hunter continued, "the hippopotamus with young ia the very worst, and whenever we start off to get a baby of that kind, we calculate to come back with one or more men tniaoing. In the water thev fight like fiends, and in five minutes will crush to piece* the strongest boat we can use. They are quick as a flash, too, notwith standing their clumsv appearance, and the oarsman have to l>e wide awake to keep out of their way. On shore they are just an ferocious, and the way they can hurry their stumpy little legs over the ground would astouish yon. They die hard, too, and take a heap of killing. When such a job is over you may be sure there is great rejoicing among us ; bat as one little hippopotamus ia worth as much ss half a dozen lion*, tigers, and such trnck, we are well contented to take the risk. We cannot get these babies too young to suit us. One I i remember, though I was not in tlie bant, was captured tlie very day it was born, and the hunters and attendants ! brought it up on the bottle. It is the same animal that Itanium advertised so extensively as the ' Baby Hippopota mus,' and it is now traveling with his show. Ostriches we run down on horse back, and then catch them with the lasso. It is an exciting cliaae, but not 4 particularly dangerous. On these hunt* we are entitled to only tlie young animals we capture. The beautiful skins of tlie leopards, lions, and other | animals we kill, the tusks of the ele phants, the feathers of tlie ostriches, and all other similar spoils go to the native sheikhs and chiefs ; and those old rascals are sharp at a trade. A sufficient number and variety of animals liaving been secured, a caravan is formed to take them across tlie desert ito Germany or America. This usually consists of about one hundred camels, each having its native driver; thirty or : forty horses for the white meu and the Arab hunters aud their attendants; a flock of from 150 to 200 goats, for their milk and also for food, and black slaves to look out for the goats. The wild ani mals are secured in strong boxes and carried on the camel*' back*. They are all young, and are fed principally with goats' milk, olthon *h occasionally, to j keep them in good spirits and flue con ! dition, they are given pieces of raw : goats' meat. Horses are very cheap there, ranging from sls to S2O each— the natives even cheaper, $8 1 icing thought an extravagant price |>er man for the trip. Milking goats are worth |sl each, and others about fifty cents. The journey usually occupies from thirty to forty davs, and all traveling is done between three and eleven in the morn ing nud five and eleven in tlie evening. During midday the sun's rays are so fiercely hot as to make labor or traveling hazardous, and none is attempted. The route home is much the same as that taken going out, and in due time the i>easts are landed, usually with very little loss, on the great sbick wild ani mal farm of Charles Iteiche A Brother, in Alfeldt, Hanover. There they remain until needed to fill orders of showmen in either Europe or America, while their hardy captors take three months of rest and recreation before starting on another trip. The Reiche Brothers have nearly $250,000 invested in this enterprise, which they have successfully conducted for many years. Tlie extravagance of the prices paid for some of the beasts is ! little known. As high as $15,000 has lieen paid for a single hippn)>otamus in good condition. To-day $20,000 would hardly buy a specimen, a* there is not one in the country that is known to be for sale. A rhinoceros is worth from $.'1,000 to $7,000, according to the de mand and exoellenoe. Giraffes sell for SI,OOO to $6,000. Lions from SSOO to $2,500, leopards from S2OO to S4OO, hyenas about the same, and ostriches from 8300 to SSOO. Eicphsnts vary in prioe, for, while some have sold for as low as SI,OOO, as high as SIO,OOO has been paid without grumbling for a fine, big, intelligent one. It was a little hard on the young man, for he meant well and had a sincere ad miration for the girl. They were sitting at the table with a company of others, and as he passed her the sugar he mur mured in an undertone: "Here it is, sweet, just like you." The complimeDt was a little awkward, to be sure, but he meant it, and it seemed more than cruel when in a moment later she had occasion to paas the butter to him, she drawled: " Here it is, soft, just like you." 01.11 llLl'l IIKK'M WKIHHPMI.

In height it measures fifty-four feet, the head alone, which is rescued by a wind ing staircase in the interior of the figure, being capable of holding about twenty persons with comfort. A sword is held m the right hand and a huge hall in the left Internally the novelty consists of an extraordinary anatomical model. A fine view of the" surrounding district is obtained by looking through ono of the eyes, and tho price of admission is only two cents The image is situated beside the temple of Hachiman, close by the Knanon of Asakusa, and is well worth a visit.

We have frurn a nirreapotuleut, ujt the New Yurk World, a curioua bit uf information alxout the young comman der-in-chief of the Egyptian contingent u the Danube. Though but twenty four ream old, Prince Ilaeaan, sou of the Khedive, ia au experienced soldier, and haa already had hta share of iiapa and mialiapw. * The young prince received in* military education at Woolwich and Berlin, after which he occupied the office of nun later of war to hi* father. During the late war with Abyaainia he waa aeriotialy wounded and uuide priaon er. Although treated witn great ooo aideration. King John, " topuuiah him," aa he eiprceaad it, " for fighting against Christiana," ordered that a large cnata should be tattooed on the hack of each of the pnnce'a hauda. Thia waa done, and when hta woumla were healed the young officer waa released and returned to Cairo. Arrived at home. Prince Haaaan conttUlcd the let European aa well aa native physician* and chemista, and Copt aooth-aayera, promiaing a large sum to any one who should rid him of these momentoea of the Abyssinian king. Advice waa freely offered and ex perience tried ; the prinoe underwent much Buffering, but all in vain—the Chnataincrvswea were indelible. In de apair he fiuitlly reported to a Derviah for advice, ami the holy man communi cated a remedy which, at leant, had tlie merit of being undeniably efficacioua. "Chop off both thy handa," aaid he to the prince ; " I alter live witbont handa than wear forever those signs of the infidel giaoura !" Hut Hassan relished it but little, and ao remains to thia day tattooed with the Christum aymbola.

To make thing* sure, Leonard tilted hia chair backward, and dowu it went, amaalied, crackling; in a crowded room, and, of course, Leonard the un fortunate was also Leonard the observed. Webster rushed to the wreck of the " Buckeye," extended both handa to haul him tin, aud aaid : " Why, Mr. Leonard, you ought to know that no cabinet work will hold to gether here." There was n general langh, and Leon ard dul not again try aatin chain that were not made to be sat in. An Heroic Old Soldier.

He was an old soldier, but had, not long ago, fallen into disgrace. He had received severe punishment for disorderly conduct, and on being permitted to resume his place in the rntiks, the commander of his squadron had said to him: " Gardieff, you had better get yourself killed, or do something now that will make us forget your past Italics. The brave fellow waa seen to dash wildly into the fight; slash ing right and left, he killed with his own hand four of the Turks within five min utes, when he was surrounded and liter ally hewn and hacked to pieces. It was the intention of his regiment to give the body n ceremonial burial on the follow ing'day, but the battle prevented this from being carried out, and brave (lar diefT was committed to the earth amoug the ordinary dead.
