IRA Washington correspondent of the New
York Times nerrates little romance in real life,
whichresuIts in great good fortune to the wife Q.
Senator Gwin, of California. 1t is long story
but the truth of it all is this: E5
The first husband of Airs Gwin, Mr.. Logan.
wasa wealthy mercantile operator in Texas, who
died suddenly making no will. The lands and
property ofthe deceased were all sold, but the wild!
ow received little or none of the proceeds, The
widow of Mr.. Logan, satisfied she had been wrong

th' recent decision of the Supreme Court of Texas,
Mn. OWNS title to very large tract of valuable
land lying in Texas. tpart of the aforesaid Logan
estate,) was clearly established. And on making
theproper enquiry it turns out to be true. The
lands in question are notless than $4,000 acres in
most adyantageously located, covered with set.
tiers, and worth from 50 10 s25 per acre. But the
queerest part ofthe story remains to be told We
giveit in the Times writer's own words:
Upon enquiry, Dr.. Gwin became satisfied that
the author of the anonymous letter calling his al
tenton TO the right of his wife to this estate was
Richard P. Robinson, of Helen Jewett memory,
who, as is well known TO many persons, settled in
Texasy years ago, where he is q wealthy and res

seedlings and denunciations Dr. Gwln, then re-
siding in Mississippi, took him by the hand, and
by his counsel and aid, taught him 10 hope. BY
singular coincidence the-lady vino is Mr..
Robinson's wife, was also indebted to Mrs. Gwin
for kindness manifested towards her when in trom-

Robinson; but his good deed was not forgotten-,
