In order to demonstrate that his

the story of the Roman assassina-

describe him at this time: In per-

with face of singular manly beauty,
in perfect health, less than twenty
six years of age, and almost idolized
by his friends. AS an actor he could
earn at least $4,000 per annum.
He was so popular in Boston that
during an engagement at the Muse

to see him leave the stage to go to
his hotel. The facts and opinions

Van Dorm and Forrest.

In the spring or 1868 Forrest was
in Middle Tennessee, commanding
brigade in the cavalry crops of
Van Dorm. By one of his bold and
skiIlful movements he captured
Federal brigade commanded by Gen.
eral Coburn, and duly reported thatl
capture of the men, horses and arms
and equipments to General Bragg,
who order that all the captured
property should be turned in to the
proper officer of army. But For
rests men had acted on the principle
that the spoils of war belong to the
victor. and General Bragg's supply
officers received but few coatribu.
tions from Forests fortunate Oper.
alton, and Van Dorm was instructed
to call him to account and enforse
obedience to the order of the genera
commanding the army.
Accordingly Van Dorm sent for
Gen. Forrest and sternly asked him
why he had not turned in the arms,
ect.. captured with Coburn's brigad e .
Forrest replied: " Beca use l
haven't got en-"
Then said Van Dorm, "your
present statement is at variance with
your written report
Forrest replied :"General Van Dorm,
am not in the habit Of being spoke n
TO in this way and won't allow it
and when the time comes that your
rank won't interpose. you shall an
swer to me for this, sir
General Forrest, MY rank shall
never stand between me and any
man who feels aggrieved by me, and
1 am at your service now. sir"
Forrest paused a moment, passed
his hand across his forehead, aud
said" General Van Dorm, there are
enough Yankees for you and me to
fight without our fighting each other,
and you and 1 can afford to let this
matter stop right here. l am sorry
L spoke to you as l aid and hope
you will forget it,
Van Dorm said cordially, General
Forrest, 1 am very glad to hear you
speak so, and assure you l shall
never again think of your words-no
man will ever question your readi-
ness to fight any man or any thing.
But general, so long as you are under
my command shall expect you to
obey my orders" And thus ended
the most remarkable collision that
ever occurred between two of the
bravest men in the world. Each
confident in his own courage, and
well knowing that of the other were
the only two living men who could
afford to settle a controversy thus.
Van Dorm then turned to Forrest
and said General, ! have work for
YOU right now," and sent him eff in
pursuit of raiding column of Colo
mel Straight, which had passed into
North Alabama and then moving
toward Rome. Ga.
These gallant men never met
again in this world. Van Dorm was
murdered within a few days after
this, their last interview.

tern was being dug at the Granger

mains of the heal and tusks of some

been found some 4 u or twelve feet be

the topic of mitch discussion among

ors to prove its species. Bu, unfor u
