From the Paris Correspondence of the Sew York Times
"a YoUNGLADY DRAWN In a LoTEKY.-Near-
lly year 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 a
life of celiba;y, and in despair of not finding a
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 crca-
ted lottery with FIVE hundred shares, Of a
thousand francs each. Subscribers were to
present themselves in person, in order that she
might decide upon their acceptibility ms hus-
bands. The subscribers of course were to be
single men. The subscriptions were to be
placed in the hands of a notary as fast rs made,
and the .rawing was not to take place til all the
shares were taken, that is, when the sum of hall
million francs was complete.
Not quite year elapsed before tho shares
were all taken. The drawing recently took
place in the Office of the Notary who held the
subscriptions and the money, in presence of two
magistrates. A thousand numbers were placed
in m urn, the subscribers being Numbered in
order as their names were inscribed. The urn
was thoroughly shaken up, a blind hand was
thrust in and No. 4y9 withdrawn. The happy
| individual who subscribed No. l99 was Tuni-
sian General, who had already occupied the
fpublic attention by his oriental caprices But
tho lady was neither frightened ut the tnrban
nor at the beard nor the religion, nor the ha-
rem of the happy barbarian, who hastened to
marry her, and to pocket his five hundred thou
sand francs. The happy couple have left for
Tunis, where they vii reside.
