The significant announcement is
made in official papers in Austria that
that Government will maintain its neu-
trality only so long rs its interests are
not menaced in the East. This is tan

believes the war will be a gen.

be compelled to take an active and

A WAR ROMANCE.
A Little Babe at Shiloh-What Became
Of II.

The following letter has been received
at the Office of the Adjutant General of
Ohio:
CHARLESTON, S. c., March %, Ut.
SIR: In conversation Yesterday with
an ex-C~onfederate soldier, 1 learn the
following facts which 1 deem of sufi-
Gent Importance to lay before you,
At about 8 O'Clock on the first norm
ing of the battle of Shiloh, after the
Confederate infantry under General
Breckenridge had driven a body Of Fed
eral troops from their position toward
the river, a battery of Georgia Artillery
following close behind, came upon the
body of a lady lying outside of a tent in
the rear of what was supposed to be the
camp of the Fifty-ffth Ohio Volunteers
many of the dead of that regiment,
dressed in Zouave uniform, being on the
ground. By the side of the dead lady
was a child, beautifully clad, who. SEEM
ed unconscious of its mothers death.
Some of the men of the battery covered
the child with their blankets, and plac-
ed it in charge of the Federal prisoners
and then passed IN. What became of
the child afterwards cannot at this
present time be positively ascertained,
but it is thought that the Confederate
division surgeon saw to its welfare.
The breastpin having the lady's like
ness on one side, and that of a gentle
man in citizens dress on the other side,
is now in the keeping of an ex-member
of the battery, who / am assured would
be glad to return it to the husband or
relative of the deceased lady.
lido not know from what part of your
state the Fifty-6fth Ohio came, but the
records of your office will show that
fact. A knowledge of the above made
known to any of the. surviving officers
in the district in which the regiment
was raised may be of interest to some
of its living members, as would a knowl-
edge of what became of the child to the
survivors of the Georgia battery. The
fate of the child interests me, and 1
should be glad to know if it ever came
into the possession of its relatives.
Very respectfully,
JOHN MCQUEEN,
Formerly of Circleville, o.

Field does not yet despair of seeing
Samuel j. Tilden in the White House,
through a judicial process. 1t is now
rumored that Tilden is scheming to get
Field a seat in Congress. This would
indicate that two men are plotting
some chicanery. But there is no cause
for the slightest apprehension of trou-

nothing beyond making themselves ri
diculous by exhibiting impotent malice.

Fortunes WHEEL.-Nine years
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Smith, Of
Sacramento, had plenty of money, but
no children. To meet this deficiency
in their household, they decided TO
adopt child. Mrs. Ladd, widow,
had a girl baby and had no money to
support it or herself. They talked
the subject over, and the upshot was
that the baby was transferred to the
Smiths, under written contract stip-
ulating that the mother relinluished
all claim to her child. Nine years
have changed the circumstances Of
these folks. Mrs. Ladl that was is
now Mrs. Golden, the wife Of a
wealthy man the Smiths are desti-
tute, and the adopted girl is an uned-
ucated hoyden. Under these altered
fortunes, Mrs. Golden wanted her
daughter back again, and offered
money inducements for her return;
but the Smiths loved the girl as their
own, and would not part with her,al-
though their poverty urged q bar
gain. At length Mrs. Golden sued
for the recovery of her daughter, and
the decision has just been rendered
in her favor The little girl who had
never been told that the Smiths We're
not her parents, cried bitterly at
parting with them, and their grief
were intense Mrs. Golden, too, af
fected by joy at getting her daughter
and grief at the daughters refusal to
recognize her, wept with the rest.
