Historic "REMINISCENCES OF TIE POTOMAC.
-Au old soldier, who had been parlcpatoI
in one of the events described, accompanying
some friends on an excursion down the Foto-
mac, pointed out several places OF historic
interest on the river below Mount Vernon
The first was what is called the White House
Bluff. Near this point, on the Virginia side,
the channel of the river runs, and ships Of war
are compelled to move within easy rifle-shot OF
the shore. On this bluff Com. Porter, upon
short notice. had planted three small cannon,
for the purpose of firing on the vessels
which had captured Alexandria. The Com
modore bad with him some sailors, company
of artillery from Alexandria, commanded by
Capt. Griffith, and a company Of r;Aemen
from jefferson county, Va, under Captain
Humphreys He had however, no time to
throw up breastworks, and heavy gun was
disabled on the way to the point.
On the 5th September, 1914, Capt. Gordon,
finding the who'd favorable Tor descending the
river, put bis fleet in motion, the small craft
laden with -four and other stores taken from
Alexandria being kept on the Maryland side,
out Of reach of the battery. The Eurylis, the
flag ship, had to pass within a hundred yards
of the guns Of Com Porter, who discharged
his pieces rapidly, but without damage, where
upon the frigate was careened over so as to
bring her guns to bear upon the battery, and
in few minutes the three one-p FOUNDERS were
rendered useless. Meanwhile the rife COM
pany was placed on the left within range Of
the frgate in thick piece Of woods, and its
members, mostly good marksmen, used their
pieces so skillfully as to displace every man
who appeared on deck or in the rigging
Grape shot was vigorously dealt out by both
trigates, the Sea Horse and Eurylis, and the
whole fleet passed down defantly. OF Capt.
Humphreys company, one man was killed and
six wounded: the other casualties are not re-
membered. -..... ......
Eight miles lower down, on the Maryland
side, is Indian Head, near which the channel
of the river runs Here Com. Perry was
stationed with few cannon and several light
companies from the District, one of which was
Captain Steels, and another Captain Andrews s.
1t required but little while for the British
war vessels to pass this point also with their
tenders. The casualties to our troops on that
side from the shower of grape-shot are not
known. ..s. .....-.. .-.... ...
Com Gordon admitted, in his official report
to the British Admiralty, that he lost thirty
five men on his expedition up and down the
Potomac, showing that our marksmen were
both skiltul and efficient, Notwithstanding it
seemed like chid's play to attempt to stop
large war vessels with small arms W1sh1ng-
ton Erpress. .......

DIVORCES IN CHICAGo.--Last spring, a
young man named Oliver P. McIlrath, az
employee of the firm Of Austin, Clapp & Co.,
became tired Of his wife, and brought suit for
divorce, though he had very little testimony
to offer. He alleged iii his declaration that
his wife was too old for him, and that she had
deceived him as to her age when be married
her. He also declared that he had been q
resident of Chicago for more than a year, and
that his wife deserted him in January, 1865.
His attorney, Benia Haskell, testified as
to the non-residence of his wife, and two wit
Desses as to the desertioD. There was no de-
tence, and decree Of divorce was entered the
same day. A notice Of the decree was then
published.
All this time Mrs McIrath was in Cleve-
land where she was provided with boarding
house by her husband only two weeks before
the suit was commenced, and where she was
maintained at his expense, receiving letters and
money from him frequently. The publication
of nolice required 10 case of a nonresident
defendant was made in the Western Merchants
Price Current paper which is chiefly devot-
ed to the markets and the advertisements OF
wholesale merchants, and Is very rarely looked
at Ly ladies. OF course Mrs. Mclrath did
not see it. Her first notice of the proceedings
was the announcement that decree had been
granted. She came to this city Immediately,
and has now made application to have the de,
cree of divorce set aside. All the facts stated
above were substantiated, not only by her own
testimony, but also by afidavits OF Mclirath' s
own father, mother and brother. McIlra,h
lived with his wife in Cleveland until last A prl
The attorney who swore as to her non residence
knew nothing of her or her residence except
what his client told him. The witnesses who
swore as to the desertion, and said they were
acquainted with Mr.. and Mrs. McIIruth, are
entirely unknown, even by name, to Mrs. Nc
Ilrath.
Upon the hearing Judge Van Buren, declar-
ed that beyond doubt this case presented
more odious features than any case that be
had heard or read Of At the same time he
signifed his intention hereafter not to receive
in his Court as legal publications the insertion
of advertisements in unknown periodicals.
He also seemed inclined to the opinion that
something is necessary to be done to weed the
bar Of persons practising as attorneys who can
be- in violation of their oaths, guilty of the
practices pointed out in their own pleadngs
and he at once ordered the decree to be open
ed and granted to the defendant twenty days

A letter to the State Department. from the
United States Legation at the Hague con.
veys the hoartrenling Intelligence that there
is no Graf estate Of S76,00J,o 900 in Holland
awaiting the arrival of American heirs. This
dreadful blow is struck very heavily by the
American Minister, Mr.. Ewing, who says ::
'In answer to many letters on the subject
l have made inquiry, and found no founda
ton for the ruinor. Some OF the writers
state that their ancestor Owned large e.-
tate in certain part Of Baden, which was
coniiscated during a religious persecution,
and that the government was prepared to re-
fund. The Minister OF Baden informs me
that no such persecution of coniscaton cv-
or occurred and that the records show that,
at the time and p!acs specified one Hans
Graf was in Possession OF farm as tenant,
but had no estate in fee. As am advised
that in many parts Of the country money is
being laid out by the family, and as | find
it impossible to continue to notice their nu-
mcrous letters, | beg to suggest that such
publication be authorized by the Depart
ment as will answer their inquiries and save
them further expenditure"
The Leeds aud Hull cases are still in
doubt perhaps they will turn out like the
Graft Property. e:-.. ... ....
