AT CHATEAU ROCHAMBEAU
THE HOME OF THE FRENCH FAMILY
so CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS COUNTRY.

Robert Gordon Hardie gives the following ac-
count of visit to the home of Count Rochambeau,
in France:
When I went to France in the year 1873, to
study art at La Ecole des Beaux Arts bore
with me A letter to the Marquis de Rochambeau
from his friend. Professor Charer. of New-York
Instead of presenting that letter at once, as I
had been instructed to do. I waited whole year
before could muster up sufficient courage. Then
I sent the letter and followed it down into the
country, going to a small hotel at Vendome, which
is an hours drive from the Chateau de Rocham-
beau The next morning, as I was blackening
my shoes in my bedroom. there came resounding
rap at my door, and !. thinking it was servant.

My name is Rochambeau, and you I believe.
Mr.. Harde,' he said. he came forward and
shook hands with me. He continued: I have a
few errands to dc about the town. and If you have
no objection l will go and do them while you get
your things together, and then we will drive to
Rochambeau.
That was my first meeting with the Marquis
Achille de Rochambeau, grandson of the old mar
shall who did much for country. His
frank. generous greeting OF an almost unknown
young typical of all that 1 afterward
found in him.
In half an hour he returned for me. and we
