* STRANGER THAN FICTION.
We publish, in another column, copied
from the New York Times , an article of
news which brings to the surface, after
some years of oblivion, the notorious
Henri de Riviere, the so-called French
Zouave. It may be remembered that, some
time prior to the war, a considerable sensa
tion was created in the journals of the day
by the 'elopement of dk Riviere with a
Mobile lady who had the reputation of being
an heiress. The elopement was of a pecu
liar kind. If we remember aright, mother,
daughter and Zouave went Northward,
leaving the pater famiUas at home. He
promptly pursued the runaways and
brought back to his house the pair properly
belonging there. Out of this affair grew
much comment, ill-natured and unjust in
many respects, and, during the excitement,
the late Col. Harry Maury engaged in a
duel with de Riviere. The Frenchman
soon afterward left the city of Mobile, and
gradually sank so low as to become a bil
liard-marker for some New York saloon,
incidentally engaging in a shooting scrape
with a noted rough, in which contest he
wa6 said to have emerged without glory
or credit Immediately after this he disap
peared and no one seemed to know or care
as to his whereabout.
Meanwhile, the young girl, for she was
nothing but a mere girl, remained at Mo
bile and prepared to bear a bitter cross for
many years. She had been indiscreet, and
that was all; but the world does not for
give easily an indiscretion in woman, and
so, her relations and friends dropped away,
# n d, with but one or two exceptions, she
had not a companion or friend of her own
sex to sympathize with, or from whom she
could gather consolation. She was very
young, extremely handsome, and a superb
musician. Her rare gifts of song were
not altogether wasted. Her gentlemen
friends did not judge her ruthlessly, and
many of them, of the highest respectability
in her own rank in life, continued to visit
at her father’s house, and were received
with cordiality and that noble hospitality
which was a crown of glory in the old days
of the South. The writer of this strange
story was one of those who knew the
heroine in her earlier days of adverse fate,
and can testify that she bore great mis
fortune with a pathetic gentleness and for
titude which could not but touch the heart
of maD, however it caused but little emo
tion in the heart of woman. We do not
propose to discuss the right or wrong of
this contrast in the conduct of the sexes.
It is an ungracious theme, and it is one,
too, which belongs to a code ofjfethics re
moved from a sketch of this character.
Stating what we deem to be sac«, we quit
moralizing and proceed with th# story.
Sometime in 1864-’5, we do lJt remember
the exact date, it was a s’^^ se to learn
that in where
wero heroine and her
for the purpose of
on a blockade-running
steamer route, for Europe, via Nassau.
We subsequently learned that, after years
of sorrow, the young lady had received
tidings of her lover which were startling
and gratifying. Leaving New York in
disgrace and obscurity, he was said to have
reappeared in France. After receiving
pardon of his father for his prodigality, he
had been sent to Rome and received by the
Sovereign Pontiff into the Papal army. He
served the Fupe rattnruny ana rose to tne
rank of General. Resigning from the Papal
service, after the disasters attendant upon
the career of Lamoriciere, he returned to
France, conducted with great skill some
iron works of his father’s, gained wealth
and was entitled to be saluted as M. le
baron de Riviere. All of these changes
were duly communicated, with proofs, to the
father of our heroine, and with them came
assurances of a love for the daughter which
had never suffered decay, and offers of mar
riage, whenever she should break the
blockade and cross the seas. Accompa
nied by her mother, she essayed successful
ly the perilous trip, and eventually arrived
in France. Some time later, we hea rd that
her reception by the parents of de Riviere
was all that she could have wished; that
de Riviere himself had purchased the
palace of a Russian nobleman near Mad
rid; and that a wedding dress had been
ordered by him of such magnificence that
that of the Empress Eugenie could alone
surpass it. They were finally married in
state, and persons resident in our midst
may recollect, a few years ago, what a fine
establishment Madame de Riviere was
mistress of in Paris. We can scarcel yve n
ture to say how many thousands of francs
were paid for her hotel; how many carriages
she tiad at her command ; how costly were
the wedding presents exhibited in her house;
how many ante-chambers had to be tra
versed before one could see the gnaud dame
who sat within her costly shrine. In course
of time she became the mother of two chil
dren and apparently a splendid destiny
was at last to comfort her for the grievous
isolation of her earlier youth. Last Feb
ruary, however, at Mobile, we made in
quiries of her and were pained to hear that
her husband had deserted her; that her
funds had (dwindled to an inconsiderable
sum; that she was about to revisit the
scenes of her girlhood, after passing through
adventures which are supposed to apper
tain exclusively to romance. The article
we copy from the limes seems to throw
much light upon her more recent history
and would indicate that her griefs are not
yet ended. We have been prompted to
write of these matters, which, possibly in
accurate in minor details, are mainly cor
rect, not to prompt gossip, but merely to
show that there is something tragic and
something marvellous in the simplest lives,
off the mimic stage and outside the popular
fictions.
Grant and Fisk. —The great gold gam
bler, Fisk, Jr., treated the great Ulysses so
splendidly on board a Sound Steamer, that,
when the former insulted the latter by pro
posing a joint stock operation, the party
thus insulted could not knock down the
party feasting and insulting. The World
curtly says of Grant :
“He is not so much criminal as weak ;
but weakness is almost a crime when it
deflects a high officer from the strict line of
duty.”
That may be; but we differ. Grant
undertook, in our opinion, to command the
army at a job ; he undertook to be Presi
dent as a job ; he went into the gold specu
lation as a job. The truth is he never was
a patriot; only a jobber.
H. G. Declines. — The editor of the TYi
bune irrevocably declines to be elected a
U. S. Senator from Virginia. The Whig
will have to go for Dr. Bayne or Lewis
L induct, at last.
A Weld Estimate.— The New York Ex
press estimates the cotton crop of.this year
at 3,500,000 bales ail told. If tlfe opinion
of the Express is shared by the people of the
North, we may no longer wonder at the
present ruling prices of the staple. We
should say that the Express is a#ong way
ahead of the music.
A High Old Jail.—A Barnwell corres
pondent of the Charleston News says that
when a prisoner is tired of confinement, he
whacky “ old Toby,” the negro over
the head, and coolly makes his escape.
Cruel. —The Columbus Sun is trying to
keep General Grant from the Maco» Fair.
It says: “ Nobody would give himubrses,

A Fortune-Hunter in Trouble.
ARREST OP THE BARON DE. RIVIERE —HOW
HI CAPTURED AN HEIRESB AND TOOK HER
TO SOUTH AMERICA —SHE CHARGES HIM
WITH SWINDLING HER OUT OP $7,500.
The celebrated “ Barou ” Henri de Ri
viere, whose attempted marriage with a
belle of Mobile, and subsequent marriage
with Mies Blunt, the daughter of a wealthy
Southern lawyer, together with certain
guano speculations and shooting affairs,
have acquired for him some notoriety, was
arrested-at the New York Hotel on Satur
day night, just as he was going to dinner,
by Deputy Sheriffs Lawrence Delmar and
John E. McGowen. The charge against
him is a very serious one. It appears from
the statement of Mile. Helene Stille, a
wealthy and beautiful Parisian lady, that
some years since De Riviere met her in Pa
ris, and representing himself as an unmar
ried men (although he has a wife and two
children living), and also giving out that
he was a French nobleman of fortune, in
duced her, after selling her estates in
France, to accompany him as his wife to
South America. There they traveled in
great state, and the expenses were all'de
frayed with the proceeds of the lady’s pro
perty. After spending some time in Lima,
Peru, they returned to Paris. Finally she
learned that his wife was living, and he
left her. He came to this city, and she
followed him. Learning, a few days ago,
that he was staying for a short time at the
New York Hotel, she sought the advice of
a lawyer, and obtained from Justice Dow
ling a warrant for De Riviere’s arrest
upon subscribing to the following affidavit:
Superior Court op the City op New
York. — Helene Stille, plaintiff, vs. The Baron
Henri de JUviere, defendant —Oily and Coun
ty of New York , ss.: Helene Stille, of said
city, being duly sworn, says that she is the
above-named plaintiff', and that she has a
good cause ot action against said defendant
for wrongful conversion and unlawful de
tention of personal property arising on the
following facts, namely: In the Summer of
1865, in the French Empire, the above
named defendant, then giving himself out
to be a French nobleman of princely for
tune, and then representmghimselfto de
ponent as an luimarricdßHßynit being in
truth, deponent hjj^^^^Huiscovcrcd,
swindler Mier
a 1 this plain
tiff’s did by
false, fraudulentfjevices, de
bauch this and seduefber and in
duce her to cohabit Vith him as
his wife ; aajßraviiig thus basely obtained
ascendency her and won her confi
dence, (lid, r>y wick and device, induce this
plaintiff to deposVt-«vith him, for safe keep
ing, on the 10th day of September, 1865, at
the city of Paris, in France, the sum of
27,500 francs, in gold coin, and of the
value of $7,500 of American money,
belonging to this deponent; and said
defendant, then and there, promised and
agreed to return the same property to
this deponent on request. And this depo
nent says that having ascertained said de
fendants real character, she demanded the
restoration to her of said money by said de
fendant, in the year 1867, and repeatedly
since, when said defendant absconded from
France and is now in this city and wholly
refuses to return said amount of $7,500 to
deponent, or any part thereof ; but said de
fendant has wrongfully converted said pro
perty to his own use, and now unlawfully
detains the same from this deponent at said
citv Os New York, and in now. an daponent
is informed and verily believes, about to
quit this city, said defendant being only a
transient boarder at the New York Hotel,
in this city. And deponent says that she
commenced an action in this honorable
court against said defendant for the wrong
ful conversion and unlawful detention
aforesaid, and that said defendant is now
truly and justly indebted to this deponent
in the sum of $7,500, which amount the
said defendant has wrongfully converted to
his own use and unlawfully detains from
her, and which is her own personal prop
erty ; and deponent lastly says that said
defendant is a bad and unprincipled ad
venturer, and lias cheated and defrauded
deponent of said sum of $7,500 ; wherefore
deponent prays that said defendant may be
arrested and held to bail in the sum of
$15,000.

If the charges against De Riviere are
fully substantiated, it is likely that his
travels will not extend much further for
some time to come. De Riviere several
years ago shot at Billy Mulligan, the
pugilist, in a Broadway saloon. After his
marriage with Miss Blunt he delivered a
lecture in this city on “ Love.” was in
timate with Lola Montez. His career has
been a somewhat eventful one.
Trouble Between Superintendent
Clapp and the Typographical Union.—
Mr. Clapp, the Congressional Printer, de
termines at last to control the affairs In the
Government Printing Office without regard
to the Typographical Union, and has
thrown a firebrand among the printers
employed there by issuing several orders
defining his position, and announcing the
rules which the printers must adhere to or
leave the office. At the last meeting of tho
Printers’ Union, a resolution was offered
that all copy-holders at the Government
Printing Office shall be printers.
A member of the Union addressed Mr.
Clapp a note asking for an interview, to
ascertain his views about the resolution.—
Mr. Clapp thus replies:
Mr. F. H. Geuuais —Sir : 1 can say in
brief that I have yielded my last submis
sion to the behests of any combination of
men, inside or outside of this office, relating
to its administration. Holding myself re
sponsible Only to the Government for my
stewardship, I cannot respect any attempt
outside the Congress of the United States
to interfere with me.
[Signed] A. M. Clapp,
Congressional Printer.
More Suits Against the Gold Ex
change Bank.— Robert Baile has com
menced an action in the Supreme Court
against the New York Gold Exchange
Bank and others, alleging the present state
of the bank and its failure to fulfill its ob
ligations to the plaintiff among other bro
kers, the danger of loss to the plaintifl’
from its action and its insolvency, and
praving for a receiver. Judge Cardozo re
fused to appoint any receiver other than
the one already appointed, but, after some
discussion, reappointed Mr. Brown receiver
in the suit, as he had been previously ap
pointed.
Death of Mrs. Gideon Pillow. —The
Nashville Banner , of the sth, says: “We
are pained to announce the death of Mrs.
Pillow. On Sunday she experienced a
shock of appoplexy, and died early yester
day morning. General Pillow was absent,
but was telegraphed for, and arrived la9t
evening.”
The Marriage Question in Missis
sippi.—Judge Leachman, of the Wayne
(Miss.) Circuit Court, has decided in the
case of Nelson Slator, negro, and Elizabeth
Duke, white, who were indicted for unlaw
ful cohabiting, that the intermarriage of
negroes and whites, according to the civil
rights bill, is lawful in the State of Missis
sippi, the law of the State to the contrary
notwithstanding.
