GOSSIP ABOUT ROBERT LINCOLN,

The Washington correspondent of the
Nashville Republican Banner thus relates
what he is pieased"to term "a hit of gossip
in high life:
You remember Robert LINCOLN, son of
the late Presidents? He was generally
liked here as an amiable and Intelligent
young gentleman. not quite equal to his
father in ability, but of superior culture
A story is just now current in which his
name is so freely banded, and so univer-
sally, that, seeing Ill the parties are of
public notoriety, there may be no impro-
priety in alluding to it. Nearly two years
ago $50 the story runs) Robert fell in love
with young lady, whose father was at the
time ont OF Office and out of money. To
be in this condition at Washington is next
to being convicted Of forging a government
bond, or murder in the first degree, and the
idea Of marrying the lady in that condition
was not to be thought Of So the amiable
Robert set about mending the matter. and
made desperate effort to secure the pro-
posed father in law seat in the lower
house of Congress. He failed in this, how
ever, AMI was at a dead halt, when luckily.

work it, the broFen down politician be-

Alliance VAS suddenly converted into a
leader of fashions; and all went sweetly as
marriage day. But the adage never fails
to hold its own, and in this, as in every
other case, the course OF true love did not
run smooth. The hand of the assassin in
terposed. The young gentleman found
himself bereft of father, Of fortune and of

nuptials were postponed; and, finally as

she resolved that she was not so much in

engagement altogether. Itell you the tale
