Monseignour Itogerson‘s originsl intention was to re-inter the relics. but in a quiet wsy. so so to avoid risk 0! protanstion. and he did not even inform the tenants of the college (now occu ied‘ sss boys’ bonding school). that the see had on historical interest.

This urn disa . and during the revolution. and t e esded case within it was not lurtherhesrd 02 till the discovery of 18%. As there is no record of any other cases with such con- tents having ever been placed in the col‘ lege, the presum tion as to the identity of those found is s inost» irresistible. I have ‘ reason to know, moreover. that the an.‘ nouncement of the discovery evoked ‘ inquiries from the highest quarter as to the authenticity and safe-keeping of the brains of Je’i'iies II. Monseigneur Roger- son, who took a strong interest in the Stuarts, died three years ago and what had become of the relics. still apparently in his possession up to that time. was a question of obvious interest. He had no relations in France, his kindred in the north of Eng. land were not likely to have interested themselves in these relics. sud the new administrator is a French ecclesiastic. who returned no answer to an inquiry addressed to him. I have, however. now sscerteined that the cases are in the safe-keeping oi Mon- sei ur Roger-son’s executor, Mr. 0’ eensn, I. solicitor, pending a decision ss to their ultimste disposel. The Duchess of Perth has no lineal descendants, at least in the mole line. end as her heart was originally deposited under an inscribed slab on the chspel floor, it might titly be replaced there. The brains of James 11. might pe ps be inserted in a. new urn, to be placed here the old one stood ; but the Scotch college is now a. French school, smb though the tenants are very courteous to their rare British visitors, a better known depository might perhaps be found. The brains might, for . instance.‘ be interred at St. Germain, with what, I believe, are the only other remains of James 11., namely“. part of the flesh removed in the process of embelming, ends portion of his bowels. These were \ discovered sixty years ago, while a church was being restored. and George IV. placed an inscription over them, which Queen Victoria. has restored. The body itself. confided to the English lienedictines. in the expectation that it would eventually be transferred to Westminster Abbey. dis» appeared during the Revolution. and was probably! thrown into a. quarry. Other relics of James II. in l’uris,nt St. Omcr 3:;9. elsewhere. like-sine disappeared, and a piece of his urm preserved till 1871 by the Austin nuns was made away with by the Commune, which used the Neuilly Convent as s. barrack. There is consequently every reason for ensuring the prescrvution of the college relic. Mr. ()‘Kecnrm is. Inndcr- stand. in communication with Scotch Catholic bishops, and meanwhile it is satisfactory to know that. the mum is in safe custody. On the New Hope battlefield was a tree upon which the soldiers nailed the inscri ~ tion: “Tree of Death." Seven Fedora 5 were killed behind the tree by Confederate; shurpshooters. The tree was in advance of the Federal line and was about three hundred yards from the Confederate works. It was used by Federal skirmishcrs, who would stand behind it and load and then step out and fire. Confederate sharp shooters went along the Confederate line for nearly a mile in each direction, and then. being so far from the side of the tree that they could see behind it. by a cross firing made it as dangerous .0 stand behind the tree as to Rtnnd in from. of it. Seven Federals were killed behind the tree. and it came to be known as the " Tree of Death.“ Atlanta ('mzstium'vn. ' Liulc l)ot~»-“ Mmmuu. Dick and I got married this morning."
