CURIOUS HISTORY.
Secretly Married, Once Deceived,
and Then Divorced-How She
Took Her Revenge.

Took Her Revenge.
A few years ago a daughter Of 8
wealthy and aristocra;ic family Of Ellis
worth, Ulster county, New York, at
that time noted belle of about eigh
teen wears, a brunette OF marvellous
beauty, with Grecian features, dark ex,
pressive eyes, and black, lustrous hair,
exquisitely formed, and possessed OF the
highest order Of attainments, fell in
love with young man Of questionable
character and was married to him pri-
vately.
Soon after this event the newly
fledged husband deserted her and went
to California, she followed in pursuit.
Upon her arrival there she took up her
residence in San Francisco, and began
searching for her truant lord. At last,
one evening she found him prone.
nading Montgomery street, and beseech-
ed him to return with her, which he
promised TO DO. Accordingly, a few
DAYS after, they started homeward.
About a month after their return, he
again deserted her, and fled . second
time to California, where he subsequent
ly obtained divorce.
A year had scarcely elapsed since her
desertion when she, more charming
than ever, left her seclusion and appear
ed as bright and shining star in society,
attracting TO her side countless suitors.
Among them was young jeweler, VINO
was very devoted and proiuse in his ad-
dresses. The lady did not repulse him,
but, on the contrary, seemed tlattered
with his attentions, aid apparently re-
his affection.
In the same village was Ii young man
from Pennsylvania, stylish and attrac-
tive. and versed in all those little arts
which serve to please and captivate. He
also became infatuated with the lady,
and sought to supplant the jcwcler IN
her affections. She, however, treated
him cooIly, aud apparently gave him
little encouragement. Alter short
courtship it was rumorel that the lady
and the jeweler were engaged, when
the Pennnsylvan.an relinquished his at.
tentions
The rumor was at first not generally
credited, as it was known she could not
lawfully marry; but when it became
known that the wedding day was ap
pointed for August -, the gosslps were
in high glec, and the approaching nup-
tals were the theme OF general COM
ment. 1t was announced that the wed.
ding was to be grand affair, iu keep.
