A LITTLE LOVE ROMANCE.
MISS STEVENSON ONE OF THE
PRINCIPLES.
A Young Law Clerk the Other---The
Vice-President Did Not Look
With Favor on the Suit
ot the Young Man.
Washington. Aug. i.—.Miss Mary
Stevenson, the elde-t daughter of the
viee president, is the heroine of a ro-
niautie love affair, and hut for the firm
ness displayed by the vice president and
his son. Lewis, it is said, she might at
tins time Is* enjoying a honeymoon as
Mrs. George F. Curtis instead of in
haling the breey.e at Har Harlstr. sepa-
rat<sl from her lover. As it N. Mr. ('nr-

United States supreme court, hi-noth
ing to show for two months'of ard’-nf
devotion to the vier |iresidellt's dilll'.'lt-
ter, oxeepf one diamoiig engagement
ring, and the unplea-nnt retieetion that
even his fondest ho|M' ean never is 1 re
alized.
Mi>s Stevenson tir-t met Mr. Curtis in
May. Mrs. Senator lilauehard had giv
en an exeursion jiarty down the I’otouiite
river to Mount Vernon and it was
through her that Miss Stevenson was
introdueed to Mr. Curtis. The young
man was very nineh_ impressed j, v d,,
vice president's daughter, and the othei
inemlters of Mrs. Iflanehavd's party
fipiUght she received his marked atten
tions favorably. Mr. Curtis is p.K»r. but
lie has a good family name and excel-
lent prospects professionally. His an-
(wstors for throe generations won dis-
tinetioii jit the United State navy. His
grandfather, Stephen Casin.of Pennsyl
vania. ree ived a gold medal for dis
tinguished bravery at tile battle of
Ticotidefoga. Voting Curtis is a gradu
ate of Georgetown university and ha-
Is‘eii admitted to praetiee before the
United States supreme court.
In this armor lie laid sieg,. f 0 Miss

VH'.nna. Aug. •>.—Herr Hchneidercit,
an Austriiin printer, Liasts that In* has
just completed one of the longest walks
ever made by man. He has marched on
foot the whole way from Calcutta to Ids
native town, Hatlicnoxv. In the year
lK!»g» he was informed that a kinsman,
who had lately died in Australia, had
. licqiU'atlicd him a considerable fortune,
and so he set out with his wife and
children to take ]»ossc-siou of his inheri
tance in Hie English colony.
When he arriv.'d he found the fortune
to lie little more than a fable, and he set
his face again towards liome. The ship
was hitrncd on the voyage; Hen - Sell-
neidereif lost Ids wife and his two chil
dren. hut was himself marvclloiisly
rescued and carried on Itoard an English
ship to ('alcutta.
There he qnickly sjx'iit the small rem-
nant of his i»ruperfy. and found himself
utterly without means of livciili.KMl. So
the venturous mall resolved that he
would walk home to Austria. He
travelled on foot across India. Afganis-
tan. Persia. Turkey, the south of Rus
sia. Bulgaria. Roumauia and Hungary,
into his Austrian fatherland. The
journey on foot occupied him nearly the
whole of two years.
