Thn true story of the marriHge of Miss Yznaga to Lord Mandeville, one of the most brilliant marriages ever contracted in tkis country, has never been told. Mandeville is a real live lord, and sits in tbe House of Parliament. lie is even a viscount bv an elder brother havinz

a full-fledged duchess. On tbe contrary, it is verv iniprobablo that Captain Paget, who lias just married Miss Stevens, will ever be any thing but simply Captain Paget.

The three young ladies, Miss Jerome, Miss Yznaga and Miss Stevens, who have made brilliant matches in England, are bosom friends. They all came from the same social set in Kew York, and there is no tellinsr what three shreVd

She was neither a brunette nor a blonde, but had a sweet pearly complexion that artists delight to paint. Her beauty was the severe type, like the calla lily. Her eyes were largo and lustrous, and her form when draped

bun Miss lznaga was poor, anil, as poor girls in New York seldom have suitors, it began to look as if she was going to be an old maid. Jerome, and Bennett, and Travers and Belmont all worshiped Yznaga, and all felt sorry to think that her charms might fade without finding a markot. Thus things stood until two years ago, when Miss Yznaga was 27 years old. Not that sho looked old, but she reached the top round of maidenhood and was soon to pass down the other side. Her intimate friends knew this and often wondered to themselves what would become of her if her beauty should fade before her charming face could win a husband. So I say "What will become of Miss Yznaea?" was a question bocinnsr to be

ond son of Lord Mandeville, the Duke of Manchester, appeared in New York. He was a green-looking, red-haired stripling of 21. Even the boys in the street made fun of him. They mocked his voice and laughed at his ugly Englum clothes. 1 remember seeing him one morning at the stables back of tbo Knickerbocker Club, dressed in jockey's tights and wearing a jockey's hat. He was half horse and the rest dog as ready to ride in a hurdle-race as he was to hunt foxes in New Jersey. He was a f'lorioue fellow among the boys. That s he, sjKBt all tbe money he could get from his father or borrow from his lrienda. Many times young Mandeville ran entirely out of money. His father had ordered him home and refused to remit. Belmont knew be was the son of the Duke of Manchester, and, however extravagant, he and Bennett lent him all the money he wanted. Young Mandeville acted so queer that several newspapers pronounced him a humbug, a traud and a bogna lord. Still the Knickerbocker Club fellows stood by him. Many young ladies, not up in the peerage, made fun of the green young Englishman, too, but not so with Miss Yznaga. She laid herself out to catch him. Beautiful and a charming talker, she soon won the affections of Mandeville. The Knickerbocker Club fellows, with Mrs. Stevens, did all they could to help her. They got up polo and coaching partiee, giving Miss Yznaga the frent seat with young Mandeville. Thev

.sounded the beautiful Cuban's praises

at every turn. When horu Mandeville again ordered his son home and cut oil his remittanoes, Belmont and Bennett told him to draw on them for any amount, and he did.

Setkmfsweiit-tHt'ffMrawoittih, Miee Yznaga was always entertaining, and he was ever at her side. Filially, when the leaves began to turn red in the park, it began to lie whispered around that another young lady was about to throw herself away on a titled Englishman. I know he's a fraud this Lord Mandeville!" was often said Impetuously by young ladies not up in the peerage. Later in the fall, when tho rod loaves began to tumble off in the park, the engagement between Miss Yznaga and Lord Mandeville was announced. The young Lord was fairly caught by the beautiful Cuban, and to let mm return to England to meet his father, the haughty Duke of Manchester, would be a foolish thing indeed. So it was arranged that the wedding should come off within a month. In the meantime coaching and polo parties kept Lord Mandeville and Miss Yznaga almost constantly together and he tho most dovoted of lovers. It was a great thing to be the lianoeo of the second son of the great Duke of Manchester, and the newspapors teemed with saucy paragraphs about tho good fortune of the beautiful Cuban. About this time, when Miss Yznaga was wearing the engagement ring, financial troubles arose. The young lady's parents were poor. They lived in a plain houso in an .unfashionable street. They did not even havo money enough to mako an ordinary fashionable wedding, much less a wedding grand enough lor the duke. What shall wo do?" they said, and then they went to Mrs. Paran Stevons to consult. Mrs. Stevens, having occupied every position in life, from keeping a hotel in Boston, to leading society at Newport, know just what to do. Anyone who knows how to koop a hotel can command an army. So, when they came to Mrs. Stevens, told her about the modest little house down on Eleventh Street, and asked her what they should do, the shrewd society woman said : Why, take a furnished house on Fifth A venae for thirty days. Didn't Mrs. Honore take a furnished house in Chicago in which to celebrate tho marriage of her daughter and Col. Fred. Grant?" Tho furnished house was soon hunted up and taken for a month. It was a nicely furnished brown-stone opposite the Knickerbocker Club. And from this houso the wedding invitations were sent out, and in this houso the warm courtship continued till the ceremony was Eerforiued which made the poor but eautiful and accomplished Miss Yznaga the wifo of a lord, and the present pet of the English aristocracy, and which in a few years will make he'r the Duchess of Manchester. Tho wedding presents were rare and elegant. In the lltrald and Sun tho next morning columns were taken to describe tho magnificent wedding. That morning, after the wedding, I saw Lord and Lady Mandeville riding up Fifth Avenue on the top of Willie Gray's four-in-hand coach. There was a grand breakfast at Joromo Park with Bennett and Belmont and Jerome and Travers and young Jay, and then the happy bride and groom rode on out to one of the quiet country scats in Westchester County to spend the honeymoon. Two days afterward I walked down Fifth Avenue to see the furnished houso of the Yznagas closed up; tho quiet father and mother had already returned to Eleventh Street. The bird had flown and why keep the cage? Four weeks afterward Lord Mantlevillo and his lovely wife went to Europe. The Duke of Manchester stormed a little at first, but when he saw the beautiful bride his son had brought he could nothelp; forgiving him. He took the lovely Yznaga home, introduced her to all his friends, paid his son's debts, and now the young people are as happy as Claude and Pauline, with this extra, that tho Prince of Wales dines with them eveiy Friday evening and won't accept invitations to dine anywhere else unless the young American wifo the future duchess is to occupy a seat at his right.

Sleepless Sergeant Sander. To-day I met Sergeant C. I). Sanders of Parkersburg, W. Va. He is a tall, straight old man, anywhere between 50 and CO years of age. At the time of the war he did full and sometimes double duty, but during the whole time never could sufficiently exhaust himself to induce even disturbed sleep to visit his eyes. As he told me to-day incidents in his life, I asked him if physicians bad ever examined and prescribed for him. Oh yes, indeed," he answered; during the war and since the doctors have given me a full share of attention, but even heavy doses of opiates have never been sufficient to put me into sound sleep. I get tired like other men sometimes, but never feel any desire to sleep. Once during the war I refused a position as an officer, preferring to serve as orderly, so I could have plenty to do. Why, I tried once the plan of working continuously for ten or eleven days and nights to see if I could not go to sleep, but it was no go." But what do you do at night?" I asked. Oh, " he responded, I go to bod, so as to be out of tho way, and when I get there I lay and think, and think, and think until daylight," Mr. Sanders has been sought after by showmen, who desired to exliibit him as a great natural curiosity for such ho certainly is but being a modest citizen, he prefers to follow the more dosirable .walks of mercantile life,- Cincinnati

FASHION NOT&S. Gold braids and gold embroideries are to be revived. Feathers in cashmero colors aro among the Novelties. Silver-gray satin will be trimmed with gray pigeon feathers. Fall costumes will be trimmed with double-face ribbon bows. The fur llowers of the coming season are light, airy, and charming. Egyptian and Pompeian are two fashionable dull shades of red. Swiss and linen Hamburg trimmings are much lower than for years past. Rich moucholr cases are made out of carved wood and are lined with quilted satin. Fancy coverings for the head are made out of navy-blue Spanish lace with cardinal border Now satin ribbons are double-facod, the favorite colors being a dark crimson with a light shade of mauve. The panier-scarf is seen on some of the new dresses, and it is said to be the precursor of the panier proper. Tho Louis Quartorze casaque and long waistcoat are worn over a kiltplaitcd skirt without any scarf avound tbe hips. Fichus rather deeper than those worn this summer, will be worn for the early fall, and will bo mado of heavier material. Tho fall fashions announce a great change in tho shapos of ladies' hats ; broader brims will be worn with much larger crowns. Tho leading colors this fall will bo Thiers red, mandarin yullow, dark blue in combination with palo blue, hazel brown, drab aud reseda. Tho cuirass is quite going out of fashion; most jacket bodices aro open in front, with points, and havo a postilion basque or coat lappets at the back. Satin or velvet bodices, known as Revolution bodices, are worn withwhito musliu skirts. These are in coat-shape, with rovers and cape covered with white lace. For a simple bridal dress select white barege and have it trimmed with white satin, with here aud there garlands of orange buds and blossoms.with a few loaves. Black laco veils, hemmed and embroidered at the top of tho hems with gold thread, chain stitched designs, and black lace scarfs in tho same style, are the latest novelties. The new coatings for ladies' suits are loose-woven, not twilled, aud show the same mixtures that gentleman's suitings do, with an occasional, almost imperceptible dash of Thiers red or mandarin yellow. A new style of overskirt has a long apron front of five hundred folds, and a broad back breadth pointed like a shawl, and very slightly draped low down on the train. It is to be worn with a diagonal casque. Black velvet bracelets arc revived to wear with half-long elbow sleeves. They are fastened with square buckles of paste or diamonds, and ornamented with the serpent and lizard brooches that arc now so popular. thi: ijypsY QCEEN. Iliirlnl or MhUMh Stmilcy, ijiii cn of the Anii'rUmii Triltcn, t llayloii, Ohio. Special to tho Chicago Tribune. Cincinnati, O., September 15, The funeral of Matilda Stanley, late Queon of tho Gypsies in tho United States, took place at Dayton to-day in presence of over 20,000 people. The programme of services did not differ essentially from any Christian burial. If any exercises of a peculiar character took place, they were apart from tho public demonstration. There was a long line of carriages, and services in the cemetery were conducted by tho ltov. Daniel Bergher, of the United Brethren's Church, of Dayton, assisted by a quartette from tho church choir of the city. The Gypsy Queen diedinVicksburglast February, and her body was embalmed in such a manner that it still rotainsthe natural appearance of life. It was placed in a vault in tho cemetery, and every day members of the late Queen's family havo come with fresh llowers to strew over her. To-day there were a dozen Chiefs and their tribes in the city from different sections of the United States to pay their last tribute to the dead Queen. The deceased was a plain, hardy-looking old woman, with a touch of Meg Merrilies in appearance, and a manner indicative of strongand pronounced character. There are stories told of her wonderful faculties of telling fortunes when she pleased, and her remarkable power as a mesmerist, both of these qualities being accounted for by the fact that they were handed down to her as the eldest daughter In the Stanley family, and were secrets possessed by her alone. She possessed a singular influence over her people that has not entirely ceased with her death, Her subjects came to America in 1850, and shortly after selected Dayton as their headquarters for the summer months, and it became the center for the Gypsios of tho country. They are good neighbors industrious and thrifty contrary to the usually concoived idea. Thoy havo several large farms near the city. In tho winter thoy pack up for the South to speculate and trade, leaving one or two of tho ttibe to look after their property at hoMie. They are revorent church people, and tho reigning King, Levi Stanley, and his son and heir, known as ' Sugar Stanley," are members of the I. O. 0. F. in good standing. The grave of the Queen, in which the coffin will rest, is a box made of stone slabs, two feet deep and ten by four in dimen

sions. Over the grave will be raised, jin the form of a monument, j a huge bowlder eight feet in diameter, surmounted by a lif. ! size figure of the Queen in white marble. I HUlory of the NlHHlf). Cincinnati Commercial I-ettur, Snjit. ll.j ) There is a peculiar interest attaching j to the deceased, and the race that buries her, that account for and justifies the curiosity that is manifested. They speak half a dozen different dialects besides their own. Thoir AngloSaxon has an English accent, which is rollectod in their manners end customs, . evincing traces of their long residence ' among the country people of Enghind. They aro a peculiar combination of tho civilian and the savage ; peaceful citizens .and wandering Arabs; farmers 1 and peddlers ; Christian and heathen at I the same time. This tendency is further . illustrated by a rhyme found in several

instances on their tombstones in England, varying with the name of tho deceased : Owen Stanley was his name, Knglnnd wits his nation, Any wood his dwulllug iiIhco, And Christ was his salvation. They are reverent church people, and the reigning King, Levi Stanley, and his son and heir, known as Sugar" Stanley, are members of tho I. 0. 0. F., and in good standing. ' The grave of tho Queon in which tho coffin will rest is a box made of stono slabs two feet deep and ten by four in dimensions. Over tho gravo will bo a monument which again illustrate the peculiarities of this people. On a farm adjoining the Stanleys, near tho road, was an immenso b'owlder, known in those parts as a niggcr-hcad." Usually these stones aro but two or threo feet in diameter, and from that as small as a foot-ball, partially rounded, dillering from all tho native limestone in thu neighborhood, being hard as adamant and bleached by tho weather to a sort of bony whitonoss of surface. Geologists regard them as relics of tho glacial age, brought hither from remote parts of tho oarth on tho floating icefields. This particular bowlder captured tho fancy of Queen Matilda many years ago when she first saw it. Tho owner of the land gave her permission to take it away, ami she did. It wits nearly eight feet in diameter, and is tinged with streaks of red, and weighs a number of tons. This is being cut and shaped, and will then be polished like granite, for the base of tho monument, and will bo surmounted by a life-sized figure of tho Queen hersolf in white marble. The whole to bo about 15 feet in height. Tho plot in which the body is to bo interred is in Woodlawn Comctery of tho city. Mr. Anderson, of Chamborsburg, has known the Stanley's for years. Although an outlandish people, thov are not tramps. No violence, no robbery, high or low, has been reported of them in 20joars, "There was one thing that one of them did which always puzzled me. Ono day in C, Thomas Stanley sat by the fire with a crowd of us country people by; ho had a good team at the door. Said he, 'That horse and outfit will belong to the man that first tells mo what a Gypsy is and where thoy came from; I don't know it myself.' This Thomas rented his farm it must bo threo years ago, as the custom is in March and started on a journey next month, to be gone three, live or seven years' time. His wifo was great on fortunes, but was sick. Thomas moved into tho woods, and a two-foot snow fell. Mrs. Thomas began to brighten up. The children played in the snow. They did washing and made light uf it, and it was a pretty picture, too, in the woods. Ho declared that sho brightened upon getting out of tho house. These Gypsy women, sir, are true, single or married, all the time." Tho horizon was scanned for smoke?. None could bo seen. " You will have to go up to Sugar's' ulaco on the National Koad, or to old Undo Levi's. Each is six or eight miles at least. Sugar,' this year, resumed fanning, after many yoars' renting out his place." Do you know tho old lady, Mrs. Stanley Smith?" "Yes, she was tho mother of Mrs. Amelia Stanley Jeffrey, nigh on to 101. A family named Mason (not Gypsies) live in tho log houso near the Jeffrey mansion. When her daughter died last March a year ago, thoy had to haul her over to the grand Smith house that was to the funeral. I go by tho houso often, and generally on bright days you will see her on tho south side porch smoking the pipe, which she clings to which they have to put into her hands, and they have to move her around. The folks pay the people well for caring for her." That's a picture a Gypsy centenarian sunning nerself in her second century, with the pipe that she is too feeble to fix for herself." Tho lecture platform will this year miss Mark Twain, John B. Gough, Bret Harte, and Bayard Taylor, who aro in Europe. Beechcr and Tilton will bo on hand, and possibly Mrs. Tilton. Milburn, the blind preacher, has got back from Europe, and wil Ispeak on Customs in England. Mrs. Scott Siddons wil both road and lecture. Ingersoll will have a new religious lecture Wendell Philips will not go out of Kew England. Among the novelties will bo Randall Brown's mind-reading, Prof. Tobln's Pepper ghosts, and Dr. Viller's mimicry of all the humorous lectures. JamosT. Fields has twelve lectures on as many authors. Dr. Hayes will continue to tell about tho Arctic region, and Ann Eliza Young about tho Mormons. Susan B. Anthony will argue for woman s rights, and Mrs. Livermoro will tell How to llaiso our Daughters." From tho pulpit, Slorrs, Talmage, Hepworth Swing, Collier, and Murray will be drawn.
