Robert Lincoln. The Washington
.correspondent of tlio Nashville Ban
ner Buys: . . . '
" You romerabor Robert Lincoln,
son of the late President? He was
generally liked hero as tin amiable
nnd intelligent young gentlemuii. not
quito equal to his father in ability,
hut of superior culiuro. A story is
just now curront in which his oaruo Is
so freely bandied, and bo universally,
that, 8-joing-that all the parties are of
jiublio notoriety, tlioro may bo no im
propriety fn alluding to, it. Nearly
two years ago, bo tbo story runs, Robi
crt fell in love with a young lady
whose father was at one time out of
office and out of money. To bo in
this condition in Washington is next
to being convicted of forging a Gov
ern men t bond or murder in the first
degree, and the idea of marrying the
lady in that condition was not to bo
thought of. So the arniablo Robert
sot about mending tho matter, and
ra ado a desperate, effort 'le secure tho
proposed father-in law a seat in the
Lower House in Congress.
lie failod in this, however, and was
nt a dead halt, vrbon luckily a mom
bor of tho Cabinet died. Ilcro wata a
vacancy, and tho lover,, speeding on
tho wings of passion, amorous, flew to
the President, and 'stated tho whole
case to him with great frankness.. "I
like your way of doing business, Bob,"
said Mr. Lincoln, " and, if possible, I
will work the thing for you." To cut
a long tale short, ho did ""work it"
tho broken-down politician became a
rncinbor of the Cabinet; tho young
affiance was soon converted into a lead
er of fashion and all wont sweolly as
n marriage-bell toward the wedding
day. But tho adage never fails to
hold its own, and in this, as in every
othor case, the course of true love did
not ruu smooth. Tho hand of the, as
sassin interposed. -
Tho young gontloman found himself
bereft of a father, of fortune and of
.place at one fell swoop. On theoth
or hand, the Cabinet momber created
by his interposition had experienced a
change of fortune ; for, having shufs
fled his cards skillful 7, he was just re
turned a Sonator in Congress. The
lady wavered, tho nuptials were post
wooed," and finally, as visions of a guy
career and hotter match began to flit-
aoross her beautiful blue eyes, she re
solved that sho' was not so much in
love as she had boon, and she broke off
"the engagement altogether. I . tell
you tho talo as it was told to mo.,,
