DR.. Levinger, celebrated lawyer
Of the higher courts Of Vienna, in
Austria, woo o few weeks ego en-
trusted with on unconrnoaly inter
esting case. An old noblernan Of
immense wealth and high position at
the Imperial Court, fell in love with
beautiful woman of low extraction,
land persuaded her to become his
Rinistrcss. He sequestercd his Jewels
in one Of his castles in the country,
in order to suffer less from the pangs
jealousy, and at the same time con-
ceAl from the world the interesting
/ circumstances in which the thought
less creature found herself. In May
184l, the old Baron advised his love
/ by letter that, in view of coming
event, ne had made codicil In his
viii, wherein he had provided for his
offspring with princely munifcence.
But before the letter reached it's des-
! tination, the Baron was struck by
sMlden death from apoplexy, and the
4 party to whom it was addressed had
given birth to healthy boy The
Probate Court opened the testament,
wherein the TWO legitimate daughters
of the Baron were named as his heirs
but there was. no,vestige Of the codI4
ell Out of rcsprct for the, former
high position Of the Baron in society
and TO avoid scandal, the two heir
.esses supported his mistress, and her
child during the first few years, and
even provided her with the means
for the boys education. But after a
while they lost sight Of them, and
finally abandoned them entirely.
! Years passed by and the illegiti-
mate son became an intelligent and
laborious student Of medicine at the
University of Berlin, and received
the diploma as Doctor of Medicine in
1866. His mother had carefully
concealed from her son his illegiti-
mate origin and allowed him to be-
lieve that his father had belonged to
her own class, and that he had died
many years ago. At that period, one
of the daughters of the old Baron,
, WHO had chamberlain of the court,
sought to engage tutor for her son,
a youth Of Is years, and by one of
;, those marvellous condolences, which
: happen oftener in romanccs than in
real life, her attention was drawn to
the young physician, who, at that
1 time was visiting tbs hospitals of
/ Vienna. Her son being of a frail
constitution, she was very glad to
intrust his education TO young man
who, by his peculiar studies, was en-
4 abled to watch carefully over his
4 physical condition and without the
! least idea that she had engaged so
near relation, the young doctor was
introduced into the family. He soon
gained the confidence of his employ
,ers, and they Entrusted him with
4 many delicate TRANSACTIONS. Among
ofherslthey required him to examine
their family archives and select the
valuable papers fromethose that might
be destroyed as useless. Pending
this work he found diary of the
old Baron which contained the whoEe
history Of the doctors birth and the
indication Of the place where the
father had deposited the codicil.
The young man at ence communi-
Gated the circumstance TO his mother,
took possession Of the codicil, which
gave him million Of guilders, and,
as the legitimate heirs of his father
: refused to comply with its stipula-
ltions, he commenced suit against
them, after having in vain attempted
come to friendly terms. About the
middle of May the case will be plead
ed before the Imperial Court Of
Vienna. and the amount bequeathed
1 tothe illegitimate child being not in
!. excess Of what such children are
permitted to receive from a father in
i case there are legitimate children al
so, it is scarcely doubtful that the
young physician will soon become a
man of great wealth.
