The wreck of his home brought about
by Forests jealousy is still visible to
the eye, and passengers by the Hudson
river steamboats, may even now see the
half ruined and partially completed
baronial castle which Forrest built
upon the banks of the Hudson, some
thirty miles above New York, and
where it was his purpose to entertain
with true princely hospitality. The
building of the castle was an attempt
something like that of Alexander Du-
mas, who with his earnings from the
sale of 'Monte Cristo," undertook to
erect near Paris castle which he called
by the name of this great romance, and
which would have required the income
of duchy to maintain.
Had Forrest lived as he proposed do
ing, his earnings must have been very
great to have maintained the life he in.
tended to live in this estate upon the
Hudson. Mrs. Forrest never saw il
after she left it. Although after eight
years. litigation she won victory ovel
her husband, yet victory in her case
was tempered with sorrow AS she
grew old her heart softened toward
Forrest, and in her declining years she
only spoke Of him in terms Of endear
ment, which suggested that her recol
lections of him went back to the earle
days when she was his bride and wa
happy. Philadelphia Press.
