"MY MONEY FOR YOUR TITLE."
SOME ROMANTIC STORIES OF OCR AMERICAN BELLES YANKEE HEIRESSES WHO H AVK
CAPTURED BRITISH PKER9 THK BLANKS AND PRIZES IN HTMEN's R0TAL LOTTERY.
Tbe gossipy Now York correspondent of
the San Francisco Chronicle writes concern ing royal romances and noble nnptiala gen
erally: It was formerly a cherished article in the creed of confiding youth that all
loyal daughters of Columbia must infinitely
prefer tbe high-toned, full-breasted Ameri
can gentleman to any sprig of ioreign nobility, no matter how ancient his lineage or
how' splendid bis social rank. To this day the matrimonial market is, I am credibly
i a tor med, controlled by native Americans, hut the mothers ol Manhattan, at all events, are not actuated by patriotic motives, and o erweeoing maternal ambition must be held responsible for many notable ex
ceptions which occur' to my mind.
This morbid hankering after titles and
other gegaws of a rotten aristocracy bodes evil to the commonwealth, and, like tbe
ea'.ing ot opium, should be checked by heavy
penalties. Some wholesome precedence
may easily be found in certain statutes of
tho Elwards, which imprison within the
f)urseas tbe person (and fortune) of an
heiress. I submit to tbe law-makers of your
state, whether the growing exodus of
wealthy maidens does not call for stringent legislation, provided the writ of ne exeat
reno, by no means obsolete in California, can not be stretched to cover the case. I
found myself drawn to this weighty topic bv tbe announcement ot an early marriage
between the Ruht'Honorabie tbe Earl of
Koseberry and a daughter of William Butler
Duncan, tbe well-known banker ot this city. The young lady will be richly dowered, lor, besides the liberal portion which her father
cm adord to give, she inherits on the maternal side uncommon personal attractions.
Her mother was one of the beautiful Misses Sargent (not to be confounded with the more
distinguished Sergeants of revolutionary fame) who at their debut conquered Philadelphia and subsequently married husbands of identical name, although Henry Duncan
was wholly unconnected by blood with tbe
earl'd future father-in-law. The most cans
tic satirist of unrepublican weddings must
needs temper bis invective on this occasion,
for the circumstances which brought about tbe match have quite a romatic, not to say idyllic, flavor. The late Earl of Koseberry,
by whose premature death tbe present lord
cime to the title, was a confirmed consump
tive, who, after CRUISING THE MEDITERRANEAN
in vain quest of health, was advised to giy6 himself a last chance of Hie by turning his
yacht toward America. But the voyag
onlv aggravated the malady, and as the
mos: spacious of yachts is far from adequate
to tho demands ot sickness, the invalid was transferred with some, difficulty to Duncan's home on Staten Island, a refuge he was
no; detuned to leave alive, bevr nouses ot English country gentlemen are more thor
oughly appointed and nobly placed than that
old mansion bosomed in great trees and
commanding wi.ie reaches of land and sea
But pure air and gentle nursing can not
always avail, and the next heir only arrived in time to receive the re
mains of his relative and thank
tbj host, who bad done his best. I
dare say gratitude is far from irksome when it tn:ty lawfully take tbe direction of brizht
eyfs and blooming cheeKs. At all events
when tho new lord returned to England it was known that a roanz daughter of the
houxe had consented to become his countess.
Djps it not read like a play? The senior
partner of Duncan A Sherman has thriven
in his calling beyond most of his peers on the Exchange, but I doubt if, in his judg
ment, any investment has yielded ampler
returns tnan that act of honest kindness.
L'.ka Banquo, tbe worthy banker will die
untitled, but, like him, can see himself in
dreams the ancestor of aline ot potentates, whose seats, seigneuries, manors, priories
and other heriditaments are set forth at delightful length in the pages of "Burke's Peerage."
Shrewd American mammas, in estimating
the brilliancy of this marriage, do not forget how seldom their daughters have prospered
n the assault upon England's hereditary
legislators. In France, Italy and Spair,
where the last shadow of baronial right has
vanished, where tbe abolition of entail and tbe enforced subdivision of estates has beg
gared the haughtiest housas.they have found
men by no means averse from gliding a tarnished name with a little plebeian gold.

Most people have heard of the good fortune which befell the Misses Cton in England, but fiw know what slender portions they carried to their future lords. Good looks, (by no means striking, however), they had, and they unquestionably were granddaughters of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton. Of accomplishments or culture ot any h'gh erder they could not boast, and as to their estate real and personal when the husband of cne of them bestirred bimsell (rather late in the day) to institute some cautious inquiries, that sardonic old gentleman, their grandfather, could not remembjr any, present or prospective. Neither had tbey powerful relations well placed about the cuor', or, indeed, any facilitits beyond a fw letters of introduction supplied by an

opulence and pomp, and a pleasant story is related of her first introduction to the noble lord, some details ot which those of your
fair readers contemplating the conquest of
Europe may ao well to inwardly digest. It
seems Miss Caton was staying at a country
house when the marquis arrived, and soon
thereafter, yielding to a natural curiosity.
tbe younjr lady ascertained from an obedient
Abigail the precise whereabouts at a given moment of the distinguished guest. By an odd coincidence, some minutes later Lord Wellesley, who happened to be
In the library Intent upon i newspaper, was considerably per
plexed and delighted to find two soft arms around his neck, two velvet lips upon his
nun uis oars Niuteu in ueiicious accents by the words, "My dear, dear grand
father!" Now, as a matter of fact, his own
courtly features bore small resemblance to
tbe wrinkled visage of the master of Car
rolton, moreover, tbe title of erandaire is
not savory to unmarried men ot a certain
age: but the marquis was too lofty and gen

of sxme. When, with much pains and tender solicitude, he had succeeded in
calming her agitation, and she,
still bathed in blushes, tripped lightly
from the room, tbe pulses of tbe gallant
veteran beat a reveille to which his blood

field. One in particular, illustrates quite faithfully the normal history of these ambitious unions, begun in trickery and tolly, to be continued in mutual loathing and scorn. You must excuse me from giving more than

in the hands of two relatives, men in high position and of scrupulous integrity, who
were named trustees under the will. ' Tbe
rents and profits or the prop erty, which consisted mainly ol
real estate on Manhattan Island, accumulated during a long minority, and when
the young lady, not yet IS, was taken to
Europe by her mamma, with tbe avowed ob iect of marrying a title, little doubt was eutertained by people accustomed to angle ia
Continental waters that bait so tempting
would draw a very great fib. In fact. LO'.h-

ness on the mother's part

oi her silly scheme. She was not taken on
the wing, for she remained some time in
Paris. She could not lack counsel, if ' she would ask it, having brought strong letters
of introduction to persons the most competent to direct her movements, and fix with
absolute precision the status of any aspirant tor her daughter's hand. For that matter a single novel of Balzac or Edmund About
should have revealed to her the difierencs (broad enough. Heaven knows!) between the
genuine and tbe pseudo noblesse. But
easily gulled by flattery and smooth pre
tences, and too vain of her own judgment
to await inquiry or heed warning, this judicious parent astonished her friends on
this side of the Atlantic by suddenly an
nouncing that tbe Baron de C. had been ac
cepted as her future son-in-law. And no
doubt that brilliant noble would have

whereby the fair inheritance lapsed in toto
to collateral relatives if his daughter married without the consent of her trustees. Now, these gentlemen desire to look upou
the groom's features before they gave away
tbe bride which was well enouicn, thougn a confidential note to some intelligent
Frenchman would have been a more saga
cious ana fruitful measure. In due time
Mrs. R. and daughter reached New York,
attended by the obsequious baron, and a sol
emn presentation taking place, the worthy and conscientious trustee (who, perhaps.
did not possesss the discernment of the Fau-
Itourg St. Germain) pronounced their new
acquaintance a most affable and polished gentleman. Ad early day having been set i
for the wedding, and the arriere ban of kins folk CONVOKED BY SOUND OF TRUMPET, a short time before the ceremony the dowager baroness arrived in person, and with her (superb evidence of ancestral dignity,) the magnificent family jewels, in charge ot a quiet but keen looking individual, who
was presented by Madame de C. as her only
brother. Very gracious and yet imposing
was that right high and puissant dame, and
beautiful the assiduous devotion of that
bachelor uncle, particularly when the costly
gems gracing tbe fair neck ot his neice
seemed to recall to his fond remembrance
the historical splendors of his house. The marriage knot securely tied, and the large American connection duly impressed by
tfce brilliant alliance, the happy pair, witb the bridegroom's relatives, returned
to la belle France, accompanied by the iriuraDhant Mrs. R.. who be;
held the dream of her life fulfilled

and the awakening was abrupt and bitter.
The polished baron had no more the right of
entree to the auburg sc. uermam man tne
valet who cleaned his boots, ills boasted patent of nobility dated no further back than the empire, and was probably spurious at that. Moreover, he was a sot, and a sharper, debauched and rotten to tbe core. His venerable mother, when her mask was flung aside, betrayed tne coarseness and insolence of the average midwife, while those fami'.y jewels turned out to have been hired for the occasion, and the assiduous uncle to be the wily goldsmith's confidential clerk, who cheerfully surrendered his avuncular role for the more congenial counter. So far the story reads like a farce, but tbe next chanter, if I dared to tail it otherwise than vaguely, would show a tinge ofmelo-drama. It seems our honest gentleman had pocketed but bait tbe spoils. alter all, and like most craftsmen of nis kidney, believed himseli to have been grossly defrauded. Another clause n that pestilent will bequeathed only tbel lfe income of the estate to bis wife, and gave the fee, if she had no children, to the next heir. Now, the barou was a husband, but not yet
a father, nor likely to become one. It ia a tritei maxim in a certain school of Parisian vi veura (whereof he bad been an ornament) that paternal yearnings are seldom grati

open, flew down the road at lightning speed,
all having entirely escaped the bullets fired
at them by tbe prison sentries. Tbe loco
motive, however, proved an elephant in their bands; none Knew how to manage it, aud before tbey bad gone five miles it came to a standstill, one of the cylinders having bursted a most fortunate occurrence for the men, it afterward transpired, as the rail
road superintendent in Kew lork, hearing
of tbe afliir, bad ordered the switch turneu
at one of the stations, so that the locomotive
with its occupants might be thrown
into the river. After the failure of the iron horse the convicts took to tbe woods and from that time to tue
present have remained at liberty. The man
captured yesterday morning is- William Haw lew, alias Sbang Hamilton, alias Shang
Morns, wdo, at tne time oi bis escape, was
doing a nine years sentence for bigamy. The capture was effected in this wise some two weeks ago Inspector Speigh obtained in
formation that led him to suspect that Haw
ley was in the city. Further investigation
satisfied him that such was the fact, but the
exact whereabouts ol tbe convict could not
be ascertained. Detectives Ferris and Ken

with the case, and at once commenced the
campaign. By tracing back the history of

the lower pare oi tne city, ana it was
determined to put a watch upon her movements. For three days she was "shadowed" wherever Bhe went, but no good appeared to result. On the fourth day the detectives noticed that her movements appeared exceedingly erratic. She went to different parts of the dity, apparently for no purpose, and acted in a very strange and suspicious manner. It-was evident that she was aware of being followed and was trying to throw the
officers 01?" the track. New disguises and
the utmost caution had now to be adopted. In a tew days the detectives located her at No. 1 Jane street, where it was subse
