A SUDDEN CHANGE.
A French Soblcman'. short Stay at Wash
ington Calls For a Surmise.

A certain young French nobleman
who arrived in Washington day or
two ago left in hurry for his OWL
shores, giving ms his reason to the clerk
of the up town hotel where he stopped
that he could not enjoy himself i'll Il
country whose language he did not un-
derstand. Flo came expecting to remain
several Weeks, and there is romance
connected with his abrupt departure.
1t seems that two summers ago he
met q fair young American girl i'll Par
is, and lie fell i'll love with her speedi
ly or with the fortune she was reputed
to possess. Atnll events the affair seem
I'D tn progress smoothly, and there Was
every prospect of union. 1t was to
claim the hand of the young lady that
brought the gentleman to Washington,
and on the day he landed he sent back
a cablegram to his mother, saying, "Ali
is we'll; am very happy" The next day
he cabled Everything broken off; re.
turn at once.
What sudden cloud obscured his vi.
sions of bliss none except tho parties te
the episode know. Whether fate. in tho
shape of a stern father, intcrposcd tc
break off the match is only for conjec
ture, orit may be that the young aris-
tocrat found at the last moment that
satisfactory marriage settlements could
not be made A any rate, he vanished,
and one American girl will he all the
happier for getting an American hus-
band.-Washingto Post.

Sherman was ordered from Memphis with
the Fifteenth Corps to Chattanooga. The
9Th Wis battery. TO which l belonged, was
in John E. Smiths {formerly Quinby's) Di-
visien of the Seventeenth Corps.
In September succeeding the surrender of
Vicksburg our division had been ordered to
reinforce Steele at Little Rock, but that
place fell while we were in transit, so we
were ordered TO Memphis and transferred,
becoming the Third Division, Fifteenth
Corps. On the 9Th of October, 1868, we left
Memphis for Chattanooga, $50 miles away.
The first stage of the trip, to the little way
side station of Glendale, Miss-about hun
dred miles-was made by rail; men, horses,
cannsn, ana equipments being huddled to-
gether on open platform-cars in steady,
drenching rain.
At Glendale we had to wait for the troops
TO concentrate, and it was not until the 18th
of October that we started from there on our
long march. Most of the way we had to
rely on the country for our supplies, and
found the reliance poor one, as the country
had been in the main overrun by the troops
of both of ths contending armies and so
thoroughly devastated that there was but
little left for rs. Hunger was no stranger
in our camp, and there were frequently
lively skirmishes between the boys and the
mules to decide the ownership of the corn
scattered by the latter while eating If Sc
cured by the boys the scattered corn was
washed, parched, and voraciously eaten.
There was skirmishing almost daily with
the scattering forces of the Confederates and
guerrilla parties, and more than once the
stiffness Of midnight was broken by the
booming of cannon OF the rattle of mus
kerry, but it did not materially check our
progress.
Our march was something of forced one
the usual order being for the reyeille to
sound little before a O'Clock, and the
march to begin promptly at 5 o'clock. Still,
