Every nowand then we see insome

rick Henry buried?”
his grave,- with the. mistaken idea that
it is in that city, where much of his
public career was passed. Few peo-

who acquired the title of “The tongue,
of the Revolution" lies in a. quiet
grave on the
him is a marble slab inscribed with the
one line: “=His Fame His Best Epi-
taph." ‘
The estate lies on the Staunton
VRiver, thirty-eight miles from the town
of Lynchburg, near the border line
which separates Charlotte and Camp-
bell counties. It derived its name of
Red Hill from the peculiar color of
the soil in that vicinity. When Pat-
rick Henry bou-ght the place it com-A
prised about 3,500 acres. "he land is
rich—there was a saying in the neigh-
borhood that poor land and Henry
could never be mentioned together—
corn grows there as high as a man on
horseback; Ithene is a general air of
smiling fields and abundant prosperity.
Its situation in early times was very
remote. Neighbors were few, one of
the nearest being the celebrated John
Randolph of Roanoke, who lived in his
chosen solitude ,flfteenuniles away.
Red Hill is now own-ed by- Henry’s
grandson, William Wirt Henry, a clev-
er, cultivated gentleman of the “old
school." He has 'in his possession
some most interesting relics of his cel-
ebrated grandfather, including the
'desk he always used, which still con-
tains his letters from Lafayette, Wash-
ington, Madison, and other great menr
of, early days; the large, round-
backed chair in which Patrick Henry
died, and a portrait of him by the elder
Sully, under which hangs a. yellOwed
slip of paper signed 'by Chief Justice
John Marshall and several others of
his friends, testifying to the faithful-
ness of the likeness—Philadelphia

Already troops are being gathered on

TWO light batteries, consisting of
Troops C and M of the Seventh United

:nally slated for Santiago, is to go to
‘Porto Rico and as soon as the neces-
sary‘shlps can be provided for these
troops, and the two batteries of artil-.

LA BOURGOGNE INQUIRY.
Government Investigation at Halifax—
tapt. Henderson Testifies.
Halifax, N. 8., July 13.--The govern-
ment inquiry into the came of the loss
of 'the steamship Bourgogne and the
damage to the ship Cromartyshire com-
menced yesterday. The investigation
is likely to be prolonged, as all parties
, have retained. eminent local counsel to
represent them. The inquiry is most
important, as actions for damages or
actions'for manslaughter may be foun-
ded upon the conclusion reached.
Captain Henderson, master of the
Cromartyshlre, was first called. As
[near as he could remember it was five
o clock when, while in the chart. room,
he heard a steamer's fog whistle. The
captain asked the chief officer if he
heard_-it, and he replied “No". In a.
minute or so it was heard again. All
on ’d'e'ck heard the whistle at this time.
The direction of the Isound of the stea-'
mer’ s' whistle could not be located un-
til :the‘ last blast just before the col-
lisl‘on. The approaching ship's whistle
sounded on the port bow. He could do
nothing: The steamer struck the in-
stant after he saw her' bow. It was just
like a, flash. Two ships’ models were,
