LONDON. March 20, 1878.
The nuptial event Of the season transpired
to-day under the pleasantest auspices in
the espousaI of Miss Hannah de Rothschild
by Earl Rosebery. Particular interest has
been attached to this wedding, not merely
from the high social position and wealth Of
the parties, but because peer of the realm
was about to place, for the first time in Eng
fish history, his coronet upon the brow of a
daughter of Israel OF the young groom
the world has heard in many ways. and al
ways to his credit. Not thirty years Of age,
handsome and well built, heir to broad
acres and an earldom, he has found in
clination for scholarship and time for study,
has made his mark in the House of Lords as
debater and thinker on the liberal side,
has travelled extensively and observantly,
and yet has made name not merely as
patron of the turf but as an authority on the
horse. He is the proprietor Of the London
Examiner. His handsome. fresh-complex-
Toned face must be pleasant souvenir to
many American salons. Young Lord Rose
berry is brilliant man with fine future,
and all this goes to prove that he is an
eligible parti.
THE BETRoTHAI.
It Is now some months since his lordship's
betrothal to Miss Hannah, only daughter and
sole heiress Of the late Baron Meyer de
Rothschild, whose enormous wealth and
sporting procivities made his name famous
in the land Of wealth, titles and blooded
horses, was announced to the world. II
made sensation, for the lady is young and
beautiful, an enthusiast in art and music,
and said to have mind Of her own on such
things even as politics, as we'll as being O
capable manager of the vast property which
fell to her on Baron Meyers death, some four
years ago. Her hand, it was known, was at
her own disposal. and the history of the
many attempts to win it by the young and
the ardent the titled and the wealthy,
would make volume, that, however, will
never be written, for who buries his disap-
pointment better than the 'man of the
world" of the present day. But to Ment-
more, the palatial home Of tho late Baron
Meyer, in Buckinghamshire, Earl Rosebery
came counting, and although where frst
they met, how first they looked and spoke
their love, is not for the public ear, it is
enough to state that the gentle passion was
found to be mutual. They were both abso-
lutely free to choose, and intellect on each
side came to the aid of their tender emotions,
and the beautiful Jewess became the affi-
anced Of the handsome lord.
THE Bk1DE's ToRTUNE
The bare announcement set the gossips
futtering One inquiring spirit went to
the Legacy Office, and, hunting among the
musty statistics there, found that Miss
Hannah had clear income of $eO0, 900 q
year in her own right. All this in solid
money and then, besides, another hunted
up property in lands, houses, jewels and SO
forth, until they made her worth SIS, OOO 600.
Mentmore, the extraordinarily enriched
home of the late Baron Meyer, with its
great central hall, its wonders OF tapestry,
antique furniture, rich sculptures, rare
paintings and costly articles of vertu and
brio-d-brac, was alone adjudged worth mil
lions One poor creature who went down
to Bucks to describe it for fashionable
paper returned with vertigo of obstreper-
GUS adjectives in which the gushing vocabu-
larry of refined Jenkinsism declared itself
unable to do the place justice. Whatever
he said, he Mentmore. In consols
alone it was found that Miss Hannah
had $4,000 to her credit in the
Bank of England. Then they concluded
that Lord Rosebery would be virtually one
of the wealthiest men In the world, for his
income would be enormous, without the
corresponding necessity to lay large por-
ton of 1t out, since the capital would be
taking care Of ITSELF
THE SETTLEMENT.
