Mr.. Roger VI. Shcrmnu's visit TO

The developments In reference to the
visit of Mr.. RocER NJ. SHERMAN TO -. Louis

that Mr. SHERMAN holds the place Of As

unry. 1>i6-now more than month ago
United states District Attorney Bliss OF

a letter was forwarded TO these several Dis
trct ATTORNEYS by the Attorney-teneral.
Subsequently, on the strength Of written
requests from Mr.. ROGER NJ. SHERMAN and
Col. GEORGE Bliss, the Attornoy-Genoral
instructed the District Attorney at ~.

A Romance In Real Life.

About six months ago We received
letter from o lady residing in one Of The
North western States, who stated that she
had accidentally come into possession Of
g COPY of the Sentinel, and in the pub
lisbed list of letters remaining IN the
Eureka Postoface. had noticed the name
of her husband who left her about ID
wears ago for California, and from whom
she had not heard for more than ~
years She requested Us to give her all
the information We could concerning
tho rerson whoee name was advertised
ia the letter list. Happening to be ac-
aua!nted slightly with the gentleman. We
complied with our correspondents re-
orest. but informed her that he could
not be Der husband, as he had wife IN
this vicinity with whom he was living at
,ba, time. In O few weeks afterwards
We received a second letter from the lady
stating that the person referred to was
her husband, aud that she had COM
MERGED proceedings for a divorce IN the
Court of the county where she was tEen
residing. She requeFted us not to men
ton the matter to her husband or the
fact that she had written to us-spunkily
remarking that he wasn't worth the am
munition which she would have to ex
pend IN Furnishing him for his faithiess-
ness. and so far as his wife was con-
cerued, that she was doubtless punished
sufficiently already, even if she became
his wife with full knowledge of his
former matrimonial venture. Not de-
string TO become mixed up in such dis
agreeable affair, We complied with tho
deserted wife's request and RETAINED
from mentioning the matter to any one,
and it had almost passed out of our re-
collection when it was recalled to cur
memory few days ago by third com
municaticn from our, We presume. fair
correspondent thanking US for the .cfor-
nation We had given her in cur answer
to her first letter. ana volunteering the
further statement: that she obtained q
decree of divorce without any trouble.
and had few days previous TO the date
of her letter married q man "whom she
ought TO have Inarried twenty years
ago." and who proposed TO her before
she threw herself away on the present
Base Ranger. She also removed her IN
j,uciion Of silence and requested us TO
make the whole matter lublic. which,
following our repo,to,iai instincts, we
have done. surr-eEsing only the nsnes.
The f.i,hiess husband will doubtless re-
coguize the picture. but need suffer TO
! uneasiness because We are in posse s.i"i
of the facts. for We pledge ou,selve>
to be as secret as the grave; imposing ~
the only condition that be treat his prt s.
emit wife better than the one he deserted.
1t may. however. somewhat relieve the
panss of conscience for him to know
that the latter is perfectly satisfied with
the change she has made, Of which we
can assure him. as she says in her letter
that her present husbands little fneor
