IlafaYette'S Retention.

Calling at No. los Root street Monday
afternoon and enquiring for Mrs. A H..
Norton, a Herald reporter was ushered
into the presence Of a well preserved lady
past three-score and ten, who is probably
one of the very few persons living that
were present in person at the grand re-
ceptlon rendered to the Marquis de
Lafayette at Castle Garden, New York,
more than half a century ago. The lady's
general appearance was such as to require
10 great strain on the imagination to be
lieve that she was one of the bellies upon
that memorable occasion. In answer to
the inquiry as to whether she could not
furnish some interesting "reminiscences
of the affair, Mrs. Norton replied;
at has been so very long since then
that can recall very little, except that it
was the graudest affair that New York
had ever witnessed, and was the topic of
conversation in social circles for long
time. The marquis arrived on Sunday
afternoon, and large numbers went out of
the harbor to meet him. He landed at
Castle Garden, which was handsomely
decorated with flags and flowers, and re-
ceived a perfect ovation. After his arri-
val he held levee, at which he received
everybody that could see hun, and that
meant everybody who could get near him.
At this reception, which was followed
by ball, ladies wore gold medals OF
of various sizes, stamped with the mar
quis' head, which also ornamented their
white sashes and the backs of their
gloves. The marquis shook hands with
all the ladies-he was very particular not

a flying visit to relatives. He came down from
Delaware yesterday and harbored on the out

brought back by anybody, and knew if he came
into the city in the daytime he would be ar

Cooley came back in excellent condition, with
the exception of very sore feet, caused by so
long tramp. The prison officials accept the
statementfrom Cooley, that he intended TO re-

of getting away, and concluded to do the fair
