Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 3, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 June 1859 — An American Amazon in Paris. [ARTICLE]

An American Amazon in Paris.

A Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune, writes: “Miss T., known on the turf at Paris as the fair Amazon of Washington, was so brilliant at the races on her horse, j.-t black, save a white star on the forehead, that her appearance was hailed everywhere with admiration and applause. A more lovely person cannot b ■ immagined; she guides playfully the most redoubtable courser. Beelzebub, the name of Miss T.’s horse, is so untameable and ferocious, that no rider can mount him, no groo.n guide or stall him. He has already kill.-d an Englishman, named Thomas Dixon, who undertook to groom him in in the stable. Rarey was powerless to tame this terribly animal. Three persons only can approach Beelzebub, the first is Miss T. herself. To her, Beelzebub is as pliant, gentle and affectionate as a King Charles spaniel. He follows her, he fawns on her, and kneels that she may mount him. He neighs when she approaches. He is proud and happy to carry her. He paws, he caracoles, he curvets, he ne'er tries to unseat her. He obeys her word without ever exhibiting the least impatience. Miss T. reciprocates all the affection which her beautiful horse exhibits, and loves him as a friend. “The two other persons who can approach Beelzebub, are two young ladies of sixteen and eighteen years, Jenny and Kitty Wilkinson. But Beelzebub only suffers them, and shows them no attachment. Jenny and Kit y act as grooms to Beelzebub; they feed and Curry him, and walk him in the morning. Jenny, the youngest of these sisters, a slight looking child, wl»ose womanly figure is not yet developed, is dressed as a groom and follows Miss T. every time she pays visits on horseback, for no other person can hold Beelzebub by the bridle when his mistress dismounts. For the rest, Miss T. is a charming young person, and has no need to admire Beelzebub to be admired. She is a handsome girl of the happy age. of fresh, brilliant and beautiful looks. Her figure is beautifu 1 , without being slight, she ha's dark, luxuriant hair, large, Hashing blaK eyes,beautiful arms, pure complexion, clear and fair; her chest well rounded, her hand small and delicate as that of a princess painted by Veiasquez. her loot is neat and very firm, her voice clear and sonorous. She breathes all the life and fire ol twenty-one summers. Add to this that her soul is worthy of this outside—a soul noble and devoted—a heart passionate with generous ideas. She has much cleverness and great courage. “Ihis young lady, this American, who brings to her husband a dower oi six hundred thousand francs, will soon marry one of the most intelligent of the French G>>nerals. 1

She will follow her husband to Italy. She will make what may be facetiously termed her nuptial campaign. Beelzebub will go along. ’The soldiers admire this fine woman, arsd the fime horse."
