Within the last three years a curious ro-
nance has been unfolding itself in a corner Of
the little vilfge OF Tarrytown, n. Y. In one
Of its ash Gets IL has given rise to legal ques-
tiOns which the heroine Is now most DESTROYS

By the time she was Is years OF age she

whom he battered by his visits aud attentions
and TO whom he read his srrmOns for criti-
ciSm and the poems Of their choice" for
mutual delectation. His visits grew more
and more frequent. One evening he asked
her TO mArrs him. Regarding this as Joke,
the girl said yes. AiterWard he referred g.
tins as abinding promise. His next step was
To repeat 10 her portion Of thr marriage ser

Mr.. Chauncey Depew begins TO wonder,
perhaps, by this time whether he hadn't
taken too mucG wine at the dinner at
which he claims 10 have got from Gen.
Grant the remarkable story which he
ave TO the press, day or Two ago, In
letter to Col. Fred Grant. The story has
called out several very interesting state
ments ab ut the condition OF AFFAIRS at
Washington during the period 20 which
Mr.. Depew's story relates.
There is no doubt that Gen. Grant told
Mr.. Depew some sort Of story, but there
are grave doubts whether he told the story
which Mr.. Depew has given to the public.
1t is possible, of course, that Gen. Grant
thought the facts which he gave TO Mr..
Depew meant great deal more than they
really did, and that in his conversation
with Mr.. Depew he gave them an impor-
lance TO which they were not entitled.
II Gen. Grant, however, believed that
be saved the country from second civil
struggle Immediately after the close Of
the first, is it reasonable to suppose that
