A IoUyG LADY DRAWN IL LorrEe7.--
Nearly ayear ago, Young lady in France,
named Sophie Van Behr, conceived the
singular idea Of disposing of herself in
marriage BY means of a lottery. She was
thirty years old, tired of life Of celibacy.
and in despair at not finding husband with
enough means at his command TO suit her
views. She announced. therefore, that her
handsome but rather mature person should
be disposed Of on the following terms
She created lottery with five hundred
shares of thousand francs each. Sub
scribers Were to present themselves In per-
son, in order that she might decide on their
acceptabiIity as husbands. The subserip-
tionS were placed in the hands of a notary
as made, and the drawing was not TO take
place till all the shares Were taken--that is
when the sum of half a million francs were
complete. Not quite year elapsed before
the shares were all taken. The drawing
recently took place in the office of the nota-
ry who held the subscriptions and the
money, in presence of two magistrates. A
thousand numbers were placed in an urn.

The Grave of Steuben.

About five miles from the village of Steu-

hero and patriot. The grave is in the mid
die of the wood, and was once covered by
monument-a plain slab with the follow

Frederick William Augustus, Baron de
Steuben" We visited the grave few
davs since. and found the monument tum
bed down, and things going to ruin and
decay. 1t was an unpleasant sight to stand
by the grave Of that great man, and think
how negligent our country had been of her
heroes. There in the wild woods, far from
the city's crowd, and BY tho "fair forest
stream" reposed the remains of a gallant
patriot, with nothing but ruined mass oi
mortar and stones to mark his resting.

Baron Steuben was an aid de- camp to
the King OF Prussia-he was receiving a
salary Of $4,000 n year at the time of the
revolutionary struggle = his sympathies
were enlisted in behalf of the infant colony,
and he left his home and his situation TO
serve in the American cause, and take the
lead of our armies. He was an able gene

rendered invaluable services to our coun-
