THE ROMANTIC BARON.
lore About Ills Dcseriion of Helene snne.


writer in the Augusta (Ga.) CORStiiu'i0pql.st
comes To the relief Of Helen Stille. If what this
writer says is true there mas been some lively per-
juring recently done i'm the Superior Court Of New
York. Helene, according to the CO7StitutiOndLjSt,
there first met De Revierrc who was then acting the
part Of q zOuage She and her mother eloped with
him to the North, were pursued by the father and
brought back TO Mobile. ont OF this affair grew
duel between the "BarOn" and Colonel Harry Maury
After this Monsieur came TO New York, where he
followed the noble calling OF Dilliard-marker
Somehow or other he had a shooting affair with a
notorious rough OF this city, and then disappeared
from our midst.
All this time the girl had remained with her father
at Mobile, spurned by the gentler sex and sympa-
thi2ed with by the coarser. she had been deceived
and she dearly paid for the v1ilany of her seiucer
SO far as intercourse with ladies concerned she
might as well have been harot as what she was.
She lived virtuOusly and in seclusion.
The writer further says that while at wilmington
in 1864 - he was surprised to hear that Helene and
her mother were in town waiting for an opportunity
tG run the blockade and go to Europe there TO meet
the false lover who had thcn become the Baron de
REVERE If one wishes to know how to become
Baron, he Is hereby informed that he must do as Re
yierre did-gO home TO France become recOnciIed to
his father display great skill in the working Of iron,
and gain wealth. At all events that is what De
Revierre did, and thus he became Baron de Re-
yierrc He then sent to America, asking Helene to
NY To her lover across the seas ana live with him in
France at ease. Satisfactory evidence laid before
her father induced him to allow his wife and daugh-
ter to accept the invitation, and so, as soon as they
could run the blockade they bounded merrily over
the waves bound for Ia bette France. on the young
lady's arrival the Barons father opened his arms
into which nleSdameS e nile fell sObbing; the
De Revierre pcge took the hands of De Revierre
ills with hand, while with the other he took
the hand of the scducCr; then he placed the
four hands all together, cXtricated his own, and
calculated, "Bless you, my children; and so they
blessed themselves. No dame in Paris had lovelier
robes than those which the qUcndam bliard-marker
gave his lovely bride In short, they lived together
for awhile. and then the Baron fabricated his pil-
grims star and perambuatcd his calCareous strata;
in other words, he cut his stick and walked his
chalkS. Helene had become the mother of two
children ere the truant bird had plumCd his wings
for other flights He had left her almost destitute

New YORK, Oct 1A.--At q meeting of the

ragged at the delay of the bank, and so anxious
to proceed to business, that they carried the
measure by q vote of 81 to 40. 1t was decided
also that the Bank Of New York be made place
of deposit for the new clearing house, and not
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company.
