" Was your son buried there ~

/" A relative ?"

After moments pause the stranger
laid down small board which he held
in his hand, and said:
Well, I will tell you. When the
war broke out was farmer in Illinois.
I wanted to enlist, but [ was poor. I
had wife and seven children I was
drafted. [ had no money to hire
substitute, so [ made up my mind that
[ must leave my poor, sickly wife and
little children, and go and fight the
enemy. After I had got all ready to
go y0nng man whom [ knew came to
me and said: You have a big family
which your wife cannot take care of.
l viii go for you. He did go in my
place, and in the battle of Chickamau-
ga he was wounded and taken to the
Nashville hospital. Rut after a long
sickness he died, and was buried here,
and ever since I have wished TO come
to Nashville and see his grave; so [
have saved up all the spare money [
could, and yesterday [ came on, and
to-day found my dear friends grave. "
With tears of gratitude running down
his cheeks, he took up the small board
aud pressed it down into the ground in
the place of tombstone. Under the
soldiers name were written only these
words "He died for me-"

A Worse than Darwinian View OF a Dis
tinguished Family.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reyiyes the
following interesting historical recol-
lections, in connection with the report
that Prince Arthur had sought the
hand in marriage of Lady Rosamond
Churchill.
And from whom has Lady Churchill
descended, now deemed worthy an al.
lance with the son of the Monarch of
Great Britain? Two hundred years
ago, in the days of the merry and dis
solute Charles IL, among his many con-
quests over virtue and innocence was
that of girl subsequently made Ouch
ess of Cleveland, who became his es-
tabllshed, and, for time, favorite mis-
tress. Out Of the wages of her iniquity
and protiigacy she gave an annuity to
her brother, John Churchill, with
which he purchased an ensignship in
the Guards. The historian Macauly,
in speaking of Churchill's marriage to
Sarah Jennings, says:
"He (ChurchilD must have been
enamored indeed For he had little
property, except the annuity which he
had bought with the Infamous wages
bestowed on him by the Duchess of
Cleveland. He was insatiate OF riches.
Sarah was poor, and plain girl with a
large fortune was proposed to him
His love, after a struggle, prevailed
over his avarice.
i K
'In worldly sense, the fidelity Of
Churchill's love was amply rewarded
His bride, though studiously patient,
brought with her dowry, which, judi
clously employed, made him at length
Duke of England, a Prince Of the
Empire, the Captain General of d great
coalition, the arbiter between mighty
princes, and, what he valued most the
wealthiest subject in Europe"
That dowry thus alluded to was the
friendship which lis wife had formed
with the Princess (soon to be Queen
Anne, and by which the greatest
preferments were given to the Church
Ill family. It was by this start thus
given by courtesan, that John
Churchill was enabled to enter upon
that splendid career which gave him
the first place in the military annals of
Great Britain, and enabled him to
found a family with which d scion of
the royal house is anxious to conclude
an alliance The Duchess of Marlbo-
rough was a great character. After
The death OF her husband. her hand
was asked IN marriage by one Of the
richest and most respectable of the
English nobility. Her answer was:
No one can ever share the heart or
have the hand that was once the prop
erty of John Churchill, Duke Of Mari
borough. "

reporter of the New York Sun. in
pursuit of information in regard to the
alleged arrest of Forester, interviewed
Il. w. Davies. ESQ.,, Superintendent of
Plnkerton's Detective Agency in New
York. That official simply reiterated
what has already been said about the
matter. Forester has not been arrest
ed, has not been in Scotland, and is be-
heved by Mr.. Davies to be still in the
United States. Mr.. Pinkerton simply
went to Scotland for his health. The
following dispatch, copied by the Sun
reporter, is new:
CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 1871.
70 FL. W. Davis, IS Exchange Place:
The New York Times of this morn
ing says that I have been following
Forester to Scotland, but failed to find
him. This will look strange to Supt.
kelso. 1t is an untruth from begin
ming to end. See Mr.. Kelso, and then
publish a declaration over my name.
Say, in conclusion, that I want Fcrres-
er. and shall have him if he is on the

Supt. Kelso as the murderer of Nathan,
and then, if not convicted, return him
to the Illinois penitentiary, where he

Forrester's hiding place is unknown

bic certainty on Forester, and closes
