WILD AMELIE RIVES.
How She Discouraged Nice But Very
Timid Young Man.

Timid Young Man.
stories concerning Amelie Rives personal
eccentricitics are not wanting, writes a
Brooklyn Eagle correspondent, Here is ona
current In the clubs: A certain young man
not unknown to fame in social circles and
with the record of many and brilliant con-
quests behind him, not great while since
before the lady's recent marriage-was
asked to spend few days in the Virginia
home of the author of 1.-The Quick or the
Dead"
He made no beasts, but there was the
light OF battle in his eyes as he set out for
the meeting with this noted slaughterer of
sex. He was determined to vindicate the
superiority of man over woman. He ar
rived In the morning, but the authoress was
invisible until dinner time, when she sud
denly appeared on the scene gorgeously
attired, languid and condescending. The
yound man had some experience with that
attitude IN women, and knew how to meet
it. All during the meal he felt that the lady
was measuring him mentally, and evidently
deciding on some coup. After dinner it
fell. A drive was proposed, and though the
weather was somewhat threatening there
was still the long spring twilight. and the
rain would probably not come until dark
tandem was brought. consisting Of two
WHO virginia ponies that inspired neither
confidence nor pleasure in the New Yorker
Miss Rives simply added hat aud gloves to
her toilet, and took the reins. The ponies
began their career by sudden bolt down
tho drive, and varied the way with playful
attempts to climb the fences on either side
the road, while the cart followed their gy-
rations in such fashion that nothing but to
hold madiy to the seat was possible. After
some ten miles OF this the storm suddenly
broke with fury, and 1t became as black as
midnight The ponies were induced to
turn about, and the drive home was begun
through furious rain, and lit only with
lightning flashes.
Miss Riyes declared that 1t was impossible
70 drive all that distance back, and that
there Was short cut through the fields
which might be taken by puliins .'.,vn
lences and driving over plowed ground.
Then began the most remarkable tandem
drive on record. The little darkey groom
demolished the fences in their path, and the
wild, scrambling cattle dragged them
through furrowed fields and over bitches,
while the elements reared and poured.
They did arrive at last, and strange 10 say,
whole; but that young man was cowed,
and had an urgent telegram from New
York next day summoning him home,
while the young Southerner watched him
depart with the gloom of suppressed de-
light in her ewes

years ago Herr s., an euterprlsing trades
man of Vienna, crossed the frontier to seek
a new field for his labors. Arriving at
Perugla, Italy, he made the acquaintance of
a niece of the present pontiff, aud ultimate
~ an attachment sprang up between the
fair haired Tedesco and the dark-eyed Sig
norma Pecci In due course Herr S. pre-
posed to her, was accepted, and il was not
long ere the pair appeared before the brides
uncle, Cardinal Pecci, member of the
college of cardinals, in Rome. The bride
groom beng a jew, it was necessary for
the ecclesiastic to bsptize him, aud this
being done the ceremony of marriage
was gone through, the blessing announced
and the happy couple embarked for South
America, whence they kept up con-
slant correspondence with the cardinal.
Quite recently, however, Nine. S. sue
cumbed TO a severe illness, and the be-
reaved widower, by that time millionaire,
not caring to remain any longer in South
America, where past associations were ever
before him, left the land of his adoption and
betook himself to Rome, in order to visit his
uncle.
The Cardinal had now become Leo XIII,
~efof the Roman church, and resided at
the Vatican; but, though altered in position,
he had in no way lost sight of his nephew,
on whom he bestowed a royal welcome, not
forgetting the papal benediction. Il remain
thy uncle, my son; may Heavens blessing
lead thee back to thy native home" And
after so many years absence Herr S. re-
turned to Vienna a millionaire and Consul
for the land Of his voluntary exile. How
ever, as the novelists put it, time heals
many wounds, and a month or two was long
enough for another woman to find place
in the heart of the exile. Herr s. was
stricken and fell in love with the synagogue
beadle's lovely daughter. But there was
an obstacle. The fair one would not give
give up her religion and be baptized into the
church of Leo, so there was nothing left but
for the stronger vessel to give way to the
weaker, which he did, and returned to the
faith of his ancestors, with the result an

Heirs to a Fortune.
From the DeLand LFla.) News.

The Lisbon On. " Courier SAYS that B.
b. Weber, of that place, is one OF the
heirs to the large fortune in Holland, about
which so much stir has been made lately.
About year ago he received notice that
the Holland government had surrendered
all claim to the money, which will be sent
to this country and distributed among the
heirs. Mr.. Weber is very sanguine Of his
claim, which amounts to millions. This
strange woman, Mrs. Webber, who
lived in Holland in the seventeenth
century, had formed a hatred for
all her relations the living, and left all ter
large fortune to parties then unborn, desig-
mating as her heirs the fifth generation,
which has now arrived at maturity. The
amount now in the Holland Orphans Court
is estimated to be about Sl65. 900 600
and there are about $50 le-
gal heirs. The American branch
Of this family have traced their lineage di-
rectly back to their venerable Dutch ances-
cestor, Bonter, as it was then called. Some
time must elapse before all the heirs can be
found and their claims established.
majority of the heirs live in Canada.

Harrington, East Friesland, Holland, with
his wife, nee Webbar, and five sons. emf

Our reason for publishing this is that our
respected fellow townsman, j. j. Banta. is
