touching part of the lady's narrative,

A WOMAN's HEROISM.

Il. l.. White relates in the Providence
Press the following incident Of the war,
described to him, in company with Gen.
Garfield, on Southern railway train by
the lady who was the heroine of the
story.
"The lady was resident of Memphis,
returning from visit TO Connecticut,
and her neices were to spend the winter
with her in the South. During the war
she had lived in that part of Kentucky
through which we were riding, and Gen.
Garfield had seen important military
service in the same section. She was
young in 1861, and her lover had gone
into the Confederate army. In one of
the Kentucky battles he was desperate
ly wounded, and as the Confederates
We're defeated, he had to be left upon
the field. His sweetheart, with de-
votiou which is the glory of her sex, ac-
companled only by child, went to the
field almost before the battle was over

said that she never attempted TO de-
scribe the horrible scenes she witnessed
upon that battlefield, although they

the attention of Captain Henderson, a

A REM1NIsCENCE OF RoBB.
How the Mil1iOnaire Outwitted 4
SuttOr for His Daughters
Hand and Heart.

There are several gentlemen in this
city who are conversant with number
of interesting incidents in the life of the
late James Robb, the millionaire,
One of the gentlemen referred to said,
in the course OF a conversation with q
Times reporter-"Did you ever year Of
how Robb got ahead of the young man
who wanted to marry his daughter ~
mo: tell me about it,"
"Well, young lawyer of this city,
who was quite talented and who had a
very good practice at the bar met Miss
Robb at a party one night and fell des-
perately in love with her.
"With her permission, he called on
her at her house, and in due course OF
time his suit had prospered so favora-
bly, that he proposed marriage to her.
The girls affections had been seriously
engaged, and she accepted the proposal
without hesitation. 1t is due to the
young man to say that he was not actu.
ated in the prosecution of his suit by
any sordid motives.
"He was as deeply in love as mortal
man ever was. When Robb heard O1
the condition Of affairs he was furious
and Immediately set to work to break
up the whole thing. But it was no use
the young people had made up thei1
minds to get married, and it actually
looked as if they would carry the day
"Bnt Robb resOrted to harsh mean!
and suddenly sent his daughter to Mo
bile Her lover heard of her wherea
bouts and followed. Robb was inform
ed of his departure and Immediately
started in pursuit and arrived at Mobile
JUST in time to break off a private mar
riage.
"He thereupon changed his tactics
assured the lovers that as they had re
solved to marry that he would inter
pose no further objections to the con.
summation of their purposes. He ad
vised the young man to return to New
Orleans, stating that he would follow
with his daughter in few days, so as t.
avoid scandal.
"The young man left, and the mex
day Robb, accompanied by his unwil
! ling daughter, departed for Paris. Th'
two remained there until the daughter
was married. Her former lover, OF
learning OF her marriage, went to Cali
fornia, where he died shortly after
wards confirmed hypochondriac.
"'The marriage was most unfortu
nate one, and Robb regretted ever at
forwards that he had ever opposed an!
obstacle to his daughters wishes in tn
first instance. He said in extenuatiol
of his conduct that the young lawye
was after his daughters money, an'
that if he had known that such was no
the case, that he would gladly hav
welcomed the young man as a son-ln
