who separated from his wife, married a second
woman, with whom he lived a year and a half, and then
died. His first wile took possession of the estate. The

HE " MAKES A SOLITUDE."—The New Fork
Herald's correspondent cites as a specimen of
General Grant's orders the following : Do all the damage
you can to railroad and crops, carry off stock of all descrip.
tions and negroes, so as to prevent futther planting. If the
war is to last another year let the Shenandoah valley
remain a barren waste.—U. S. GRANT." In accordance
with this order the destruction done by Castor and Merrill's
Louisianians was on the largest scale possible. In the
course of one day wheat enough to subsist the whole army
for a year was destroyed, besides collecting 1,500 head of
cattle and 3,000 sheep. Nor did the work of destruction
stop next day.

THE COURT AT BALMORAL-0o Monday last her
Majesty, who was accompanied by her Royal High'
ness the Princess Helena and the Hon. Lady Augusta
Bruce, lady in waiting, drove through Braemar via Inverey
to the "Black Colonel's Cave," in the wilds of Gleneye•
Here, having alighted from the carriage, her Majesty de •
scended into the rocky den which, 300 years ago, was for
some considerable time the safe retreat of the proscribed
and outlawed Col. Far quharson of Inverey—hence the cog-
nomen it bears to th's day. The cave is a most romantic
and delightfully secluded spot, and stands close to the Eye
stream, which winds like a serpent through the green glen.
It consists of a narrow ledge of rock, only accessible from
one point, overhung by a frowning, rugged precipice, fes-
tooned with wild herbs and creeping plants, which thrusts
itself forward over the glen at an angle of about 90 degrees.
Her Majesty and party, after a very interesting exploration
of this famed rock fortress of a once brave Highland chief-
tain, partook of a sumptoas luncheon, and returned via
Braemar to B Amoral about half-past six. Horses wer°
changed both in going and returning at the Invercauld
Arms Hotel, under the personal superintendence of Nr
Fisher.—Dundee Advertiser.

of her Majesty ; and other foreign visitors have also bee°
graciously received by the accomplished ruler of the %Ol;
daring tribes. We understand that the Mayor of NeWea't

the royal abode without testifying his friendly feeling tOci

their resignation, on the ground that the refusal of t
