elemens, has been in the Court ofChancery, and we
believe also in the Surrogate's Court, for several
weeks engaged in defending the rights of his lady TO
the great property left by the late Mr.. Rapeie. The
amount OF this property is immense-nearly equal 10
screen millions Of doiars. There will be great con-
test about Its distribution and it is said that the gal
liant Doctor will have chance of carrying oil the pool.
When the doctor succeeds in this chemical expert
ment-amost as good as roasting himself IN the oven
| or swallowing prussic acid-we shall be entirely or
his side. Till that happy period, we are neutral, and
merely locker on. My "fnend, coHntryman and
lover" Hugh Maxwell is the Doctors counsel. As
this case involves some remarkable points of deep in
! terest-to say nothing of the nancy and property
we shall make some inquiry into its merits, and give
a full historical sketch of the whole, beginning with
the late Bishop Provost, and giving description for
the year 1885, of his beautiful interesting fascinating
highly intellectual young daughter the belle of that
| day, now the lady of our famed Doctor Chabert. 1t
IS delightful to dwell on the "olden time" but more
especially with young and gay beauties in the fore
ground. When dig into the bowels of antiquity
always conrive TO get alongside of the young, the
beautiful, the gay the glorioussuch Cleopatra on
the Cydnos Rhedcpe in her palace, Zenebia leaving
the gates of Palmyra at the head of her armies As
pasta teaching eloquence TO Pericles in the academic
grove or even the gay Romans clipping each with
beautiful Sabine girl in his arms, and kissing her soft
lips, pale with fright, as he threads the Avan wood,
or winds refund the Avenne mount to his home.
AMERICANS IN Europe The stand stlll-not fail
ure-whlch Mr. Welles the Anerican banker in Paris,
has to, will cause great distress TO American
ashonabes in Europe. Mr.. Welles was the banker
to whom all Americans carried letters of credit. We
learn that the first result ofhis embarrassHents was
cut off Eat fell swoop" all those credits. Many
American families are now in Paris, or throughout
France, or ruslcang in Italy. They at once re-
duced 10 the last shilling till they can hear from this
country. To receive returns from this side of the
water will require over two months. What are they
to DO IN the mean time? Ay, there's the rub. Will
not the great American millionaire, Col. Thornehim-
sell, be reduced to the necessity of getting loan Of
the Austrian Prince, his relative and connection? He
may be able to get throughout what will become OF
those who have princely relatives-no grand dukes
for cousins
The truth is, the DEVILS to pay among the fashion
able Americans in Europe Hereafter many Of them
will have to restrict their wanderngs TO Communi-
paw, Oyster Bay, Cowneck, or Tarrytown. Every
dog has his day." as the venerable ass said when he
had munched up his last handfu of fresh hay and
toSk to his thistles again.
