Kidnapping a Countess.
A sensation has been paused in French high life by what was at fiisfc imported to be the successful kidnapping of Countess Campos, recently divorced from t)uc do la Torre. The kidnappers, ifc was asserted, wore masks and seized the Countess as she was walking in the Bois do Boulogne. They eluded pursuit. The "Temps" says the • abduction of Countess Campos was made by a French man who had been assiduous in his attentions to the Countess and vainly endeavoured to persuade her to marry him. A London despatch of later date, however, puts a different complexion on the affair. It says : "The Counters Campos was accompanied to Dover by Garbceuf, lier lover, and three other gentlemen. The Campofe's family agent and a French detective, armed with a warrant, visited the hotel where the Countess was stopping, accompanied by the Spanish Consul. The Consul explained to Mademoiselle Campos how her family felt over her abduction ; that the warrant for her arrest was to recover her irom her abductors and restore her to her family. Shedeclaied she wished to marry Garbceuf, and that bhe was not prisoner against her will. Upon this declaration the English police refused to sanction her arre&t."
