pro0fi Of q gal marriage according
70 the American Law 10 be forwarded
N Frame, which can BE- casilg dons.
The French law recognizes foreign
marriages, contracted " friendly
countries, according 10 the law u
those countries. Consequently the
marriage with tho Michigan girl will
be held valid. and not only do the
titles Of the family, but one third oi
the fortunes descend 10 The widow
and her family, now residing 10 Gene.
SEQ. Tic widow herself becomes q
Marchioness, holding tic same rclas
tive position TO The family ss did the
deceased Marohioness. The oldest
boy, he who sold papers and blocked
boots, becomes q Marquis. lie is
hereafter the head Of this proud, aris-
toctatic French iamily-be and bis
mother, whom they have always con.
tcmptuously refused to recognize.
The family is one Of the most dis'in,
guishcd in France. 1t dates back 10
the Crusades. it has furnished two
Cardinals and two Marshsls 10 the
nat0R. And yet girl brought up in
the backwoods Of America, who Tiex< |
or was al court, who was a compare
live Nobody, and her boy, who has
been brought up in a school OF harde
ship and poverty will now take upon
themselves the highest donors which |
a connection with this ancient family |
entails. They will hereafter sit at the
head of the table, have precedence at
all the family gatherings, and the
uncles and cnnsins who have spent
their lives in the midst of the brilliant |
and fashionable society OF Paris will
have to bow and scrape to these pie
bian Americans in a manner that will,
no doubt be highly distatefu TO them.
But this Yankee wife and children
not onl, take the houses and titles of
the family Of dc Belloy, but also a
good share of the houses, lands, coun-
try seats, city residences, moneys,
bonds, and all that belonging or in
any way appertaining to- this same
house of de Bclloy. To the average
American understanding this last
feature is best of all. TIE young
Marquis will now quit selling papers,
and will give his box and brush TO
some fellow who is not 70 highly
connected.
He will throw aside his patched
pantaloons. nnd get pair that ore in
at the knees, and will also doubtless
in the luxury of a clean shirt.
When he gets married his vile will
also he Marcllioness. or course. he
will marry On American girl, and
here will be chance for some more
titles for Americans. And all his
brothers and sisters will come in for
their share of all this good fortune,
and if they ere NOT the harpiest FAM
ly in Illinois when the news reaches
them. it is not very clear what would
make them so.
The news Of the sudden change in
will probably reach the
widow and her family at Geneseo TO-
day. The formalities necessary for
the realization OF their good fortune
are few and simple. and there is not
the slightest doubt that they can be
easily complied with. The charm Of :
this story is that it is true in every
particular, and who will not say now
that ATruth is stranger than fiction ?"
