AN AMERICAN BEAUTY.

Mites Chamberlain Who Captured the
Prince OF Wales Returns to Her Ma
tive Land.
NEW YoEK, Feb. 23.-The arrival of
Miss Jennie Chamberlain by the Servia,
which arrived last night, will cause a de-
cided stir in society circles. For three
years past, during her stay abroad, she
has been known as the favorite one among
the bellies to whom the Prince of Wales
has been devoted, and much has been
written regarding the American girl
whose beauty captivated the heir to Eng
lands throne. she now returns to Amer
lea for brief visit, and will soon 20 back
to Europe with her parents. She comes
so late in the season that New York So
ciety will have little chance to see her,
but many small entertainments will
probably be arranged in her honor.
Miss Chamberlain is now about % years
old and IS the daughter OF Mr.. William
Chamberlain, OF Cleveland. O., and the
granddaughter of Mr.. Zelah Chamberlain.
who was one of the wealthiest citizens of
that city. Her mother was Miss Wilson,
also of Cleveland. Mrs. Cham berlain
owns many lots in the city OF Cleveland
which were for many years poor property,
but which four years ago rose suddenly in
value and made her rich woman.
AN HEIREss,
But Miss Cham berlain's position as an
heiress is due to her grandfather, sold
Zelah Chamberlain" as he was known.
For many years he held In his possession
Minnesota State bonds TO a large amount,
on whose interest the State had defaulted
One day about ten years ago the Mime
sofa Legislature resolved to pay this back
interest to a certain amount. This was
telegTaphed 10 MIR. Chamberlain by
friend, and the lat er Immediately hired
special engine and steamed TO st. Paul,
arriving there before any other bond
holders, and receiving the full amount
due him.
II was after this little episode and in
the summer OF 1882 that the Chamberlains
decided TO spend summer at Newport,
whittier they repaired with their daugh-
ter, and there she made her debut. She
attracted considerable attention from her
light but perfectly formed figure, her deli
cate, pearly complexion, her rich brown
hair and eyes, small and perfect mouth,
and her naturalness of manner aud con-
versation. Going from Newport to Lon
don, she made a success at once upon her
entrance there the following season, and
IL was not long before IL was reported
that the Prince OF Wales was devoted TO
her.
Many exaggerated stories OF her friend
ship with the Prince have since been pub
licly told. but no charge OF any departure
from perfect prOpriety OF conduct has
ever been made against her, despite the
gauntlet Of envious eyes and tongues she
has been constantly obliged TO run. The
story told OF her that she first called the
Prince Jumbo. while amusing, is hardly
true, as he had long been known as "Jum-
my" among a certain set OF his associates,
a nickname which the Duke Of Portland
also holds.

A Georgia Legis ator's Turkeys
Atlanta ConSfituiion.

A funny story was told me regarding
one of those doughty knights Of the sheep
shears and brand iron, who aourished in
the Eilds Of southern Georgia in the olden
time. His name was Wayne, and great
and good man he was. There were but
fourteen men in bis county. and twelve OF
them were his sons As matter Of coarse
be had q walk over at the election. and
came ont with aYing solors, duly elected
member Of the Georgia Legislature. BE
owned one Of the swiftest nsgs in tho's
parts, and he vas always 10 ths lead when
the csvalcade Of eolons rode toward Mill
edaeyills. One time, however, be was late.
The Legislature had been in session three
DAYS. and ell were getting anxious regard
ing Hon. Mr.. Wayne. At length, Just -
they were discussing the propriety OF sp-
pointing a committee Of inquiry. Wayne
came riding over the hill, driving . great
