A Strange Story
- It was a bright, clear morning. The sun
sparkled on a thousand emerald buds, and
the morning breeze wafted in a strong scent
of violets. As I stood on the doorstep of
my own home in Devonshire, I looked on
as fair a scene of flowers and sunshine as
ever was given in these British Isles to
Valentine's day. Such brilliant blossoms
wild flowers, hepaticas, and crocuses—
blue, purple, white, and cloth of gold. It
was a thoroughly spring-like morning, and
as I stood loitering on the ste, a youth of
fifteen bounded through the p
hall, seized
me b Valentine, arm and cried, " I ouht to be
your, but I can't. A lt man may
not marry his grandmother, nor his maiden
aunt I 0, dear me, what a pity I But never
mind Grace; come along; we will go forth
for adventures, and you shall meet your
Valentine, if such a being exists." I told
Master Bertrand that he was a saucy school
boy, but I started with him on a walk to
the lodge, nevertheless.
And now I must explain a little.
I was at Combo Minor, which had been
my home from my birth, My father had
died seven years before last Valentine's
day, and left my mother, with a. daughter
by her first husband just ten years my
senior, and myself. Seven years ago from
last Valentine's day I was sixteen years of'
age, and Julia Moore, my step-sister, was
six-and-twenty. But my father had a son
by an earlier marriage, and when this son
came to lake possession of Combe Minor,
ho came as a widower, bringing Bertrand,
Oliver, and Jack with him. A year aft' ,
our father's death my half-brother rimmed
Julia Moore; and a year ),,fore the day
when I stood, as I M. , said, on the door
, step of Combo minor, my mother had mar
ried her third husband. Sir Godfrey Sel
by, and they were keeping St. Valentine's
day in Northumberland, amid wind and
snow. No wonder that on every account,
I preferred the soft Devonshire air and the
sweet flowers of our sunny home. So, I
was twenty-three, and tertrand was fif
teen, and navy Valenti e, because lie was
my nephew ;•nd so we started on our
early walk. There was a winding drive by
the edge of the wood, where a rock crop
ped out, and holly glittered, and the willow
had begun to show golden buds. This
drive led by the moss well, and the old
quarry, so picturesquely planted with larch,
to the north lodge ; and Berty and I trod
the way gayly, our steps making crisp
echoing sounds in the clear, frosty air, and
the birds singing in the sun tlmt set all na
ture sparkling.
The old fancy that the first man we met
was to be my Valentine for the ensuing
year, made fun for Bertie, who, being a
very merry-hearted, and also a very clever
boy, kept me laughing, in spite of the mock
Indignation with which I hail to inset some
of his most daring imaginations.
"You'll never be married this year. Ob,
Gracey I Nobody coming to marry me,
nobody corning to woo. Eh! who's that I"
We had just caught sight of the lodge,
and we saw a stranger ajanding, us if ir
resolute. The stranger len knocked and
walked in.
"Now, fair play ear, good, unfortu
nate Aunt Gracey. It won't do unless he
comes out, and w Iks on, and meets us lion
estly, The first / you meet, not see. You
are out of lucle—you are—no !"
And her stranger re-appeared, and
walked tpwards us, quite as unwaveringly
ly, and / with as much intention as could he
cape ed of any Valentine under any th
em .tances throughout the whole " west
countrie."
"All right," said Hectic, in a low voice;
"don't flinch. Bear up bravely, Gracey,
I'll stand by you. It will be all over in a
moment. Look him in the face, that you
may know him again."
I could have beaten the boy for the drol
lery he threw into his small impertinence,
for I could not keep my face grave, and the
stranger was n fine, tall, handsome man,
walking straight in the middle of the road
and inspecting us with very evident atten
tion.
. .
"Hold your tongue Bertic !"
" Don't be agitated—keep your self-pos
session. Trust in me—guide, philosopher,
friend !"
Here we were brought ton stand, sud
denly, by the stranger stopping close before
us, and saying " Bertrand Lawrence !
know your name. I asked at the lodge."
Then lie took off his hat to me.
My Valentine looked five and thirty
years of age, with a face a good deal bron
zed, and very dark hair. Ile had a mou
stache, but no whiskers nor beard ; he was
what anybody might call handsome, and
he had an indescribable look of power
about him. I don't mean bodily strength,
though he had that, too. But he had n
certain sweetness of expression on his
somewhat massive face, as if he was gen
tle with the gentleness of one who could
play with life, because lie had tamed it into
submission to her. All this struck me, as
he lifted his hat, and said, "Miss Law
rence." Then he went on, speaking to
Bertie ;" Is your father at home•? I am
Deverel—James Deverel. Do you know
my name ?"
"Major Deverel is expected on a visit
to my father next week."
•' Yes. I wrotty and said I would come.
I was then engaged this week to the Rob
ertsons, near Torquay. But they tele
graphed to inn at Lord Marston's to say
they had illness in the house and had been
put in the quarantine—couldn't have me.
So I came here straight. It will be an early
" morning call" if you can't take me in.—
I have left my luggage at the station."
By this time Major Deverel was walking
with us towards the house. He soon said,
" Do you always walk as early as this,
Miss Lawrence ?"
I could not help stammering; but Bertie
spoke honestly. " It's the best joke in the
world. We made an engagement last
night to walk out together to-day, early.—
Valentine's day, you know. The first man
Aunt Grace met, was to be her Valentine.
We west-country People believe all kinds
of superstitions, and that is one. We pro
mised to tell the truth to Oliver, said Jack,
'which was but fair, as we had refused
their company. Now we stud! carry you
back as proof positive; the Valentine not
only seen, but captured and brought home.
You are Grace's Valentine, Major Deverel,
and I hope you will do your year's service
properly."
Major Deverel stood still. Ile looked at
Bertie, and he looked at me. " I had never
thought of it I" he said. "Valentine's day !
Well, so it is ! Valentine's day—never
thought of it once, even."
His manner was very strange. I saw
that it was provocative of Bertie's mirth,
so I began to talk to Major Deverel of De
vonshire customs, and the odd fancies that
we kept in remembrance in our old fash
ioned place.
Major Deverel got as good a welcome as
any man could have desired. He and my
brother had been at school together. My
brother had gone to Cambridge, then to the
bar, and had been going to the western cir
cuit when his friend, Frank Deverel, had
been through hard lighting in India. They
had seen each other lint seldom, but had
corresponded without intermission; and
now it was pleasant to see my brother of
forty years of age and his friend, a few
years younger, standing with grasped
hands, looking in each other's faces, re
calling old memories, both very happy in
the old friendship so faithfully cherish
ed, and so suddenly gratified by this pleas
ant appearance on Valentine's day.
We had bacakfast ; and after Inteakfust I
heard Major Deverel say how strangely
fast my brother had seemed to run through
life—only forty, and twice married; with
three boys, and an eldest son shooting up
into manhood. " Why, my life," he said,
" has got to begin—my home life, I mean ;
at least, I hope so. After all, he said, "the
great struggle of youth carried into battle
fields full of danger, fuller of thought, and
a responsibility that shuts self out of one's
mind, is not the life that a man looks for
ward to. The patriarchal vine and fig tree
life advances upon one in a sort of vision,
and claim's one's sympathy. Yes;l: he ad
ded, thoughtfully. "and comes in some of
men's best moment's, I think." I felt quite
touched. I confessed that my Valentine
entertained some most admirable senti
ments. " But should not have liked to be
gin so early, though," lie said, with an
honesty of tone and manner that made me
hate him. In fact, before luncheon time
Major Deverel had greatly puzzled me, and
I had said to myself, •' there is something
odd about him." He kept on betraying
the drollest sort of interest in this Valen
tine's day, and once, in the most unac
countable manner, wondered what would
happen before the end of it.
"Nothing more extraordinary than an
assemblage of friends in the evening,"
said Julia, with her pretty, quiet captivat
ing smile. I was pleased to see that Major
Deverel admired her.
" he exclaimed, "a party of friends;
would you tell me all abuot them i'
And then lie sat down by Julia's work
table, and cut open the leaves of n book
in a peculiarly careful and knowing way,
which made me once more entertain a good
opinion of my Valentine. He heard about
Lawsons and Hobertses,. Colville, Drakes
and Markingtons; and asked questions as
to sex, age, family,i(tortune—once more he
was growing unaccountably odd; and once
more he wondered out loud that it should
be Valentine's day. " Valentine's day
Never thought of it I" an when he ended
by saying, with every mark of astonish
ment—" and eighteen hundred and sixty
six, too," I really thought him crazy.
Before dinner time I had been both
charmed and bewildered by our new guest
several times. I liked, I disliked, I won
dered; but, with all I think I admired.
When we had assembled for dinner in
our smart clothes, I thought Major Deverel
the finest looking gentleman I kad ever

seen—my Valentine was a man to be proud
of. We ladies left the dinner table early,
for we had some little arrangements to
maks for the entertainments of our guests
who were expected in the evening. We
had not been many minutes out of the din
ing room when the three boys rushed out
and joined us in the morning-room where
our friends were to have tea on their arri
vaL " Oh, Grace, he is the best fellow go
ing. He will do anything--everything—
we will have charades!"
I asked, "Did Major Deverel propose
charades l"
"O, no; you can't get him to propose
any thing. "I go with the stream on Val
entine's day,' he said."
Our boys were very fond of acting, and,
with very little help from others, they and
I had got up several very successful cha
rades that winter. They were all im
promptu characters. We fixed our word
and how the syllables should be expressed,
and then left all the acting and the dialogue
to the Inspiration of the moment. I knew
the boys wished for charades, and of course
I knew they would have all their wishes as
far as possible fulfilled. They bad been
brought up on the very (not over) indul
gent principle, and were not the least spoilt
by it. Bo charades we were to have, and
Major Deverel was to act with us.
" Had he ever acted ;" " Hundred. of
times, no doubt." "Had he ever acted
impromptu charades ?" " Nol'odY knows.
But no matter. He agree° to everything—
says he would not adds°, nor contradict,
nor suggest, nor r duse, nor doubt, nor run
away—can yo" want any more than that?
Don't be ~rid, Gracey. Let us fix on a
word."
nut I was afraid. Our friends were ar
riving; a dozen people were in the draw
ing room already. I had no idea of mak
ing an exhibition of myself with my Val
entine, who had several times treated this
Valentine's day as being a serious epoch in
his life, and as something to be endured
with vague wonderings, and an odd anxi
ety which lie tried to hide with gay words;
but which was something quite real, and,
as it seemed to me, very plain to see, and
altogether impossible to account for.
More carriages, more bell-ringing, more
greetings, more teal My battle with Ber
tie was lost. I was defeated. We were to
have charades, and the first word to be act
ed was fearful, out of compliment to me.
You are in that unreasonable state of
agitation that you will scarcely need to act
anything, Gracey." I could only sit and
smile; I was beaten, and very amiable un
der my misfortune.
Now, the room in which we acted was a
long drawing-room. Standing at the top
of this room, if you looked down its length
of over thirty-three feet, you saw two
doors; one was at the end of the room on
the right hand and led into a library, the
other at the side, as far down as could be,
and led into the hall. Our only prepara
tion for our favorite pastime, was to bring
into the room two large screens. They
were so placed as to divide off the end of
the room which was to be our stage, and
to bide the two doors by which we came
on and went off. The middle space be
tween the screens was marked off by a row
of wax lights on the floor, and a fence
made by long, low, wire guards, which
had been contrived for the purpose. The
only peculiarity of this drawing-room arose
from the fact of its having been made by
throwing two rooms together, by which
means there were two fire-places. One was
at the end opposite our stage, the other in
the centre of the left hand side, and oppo
site the windows. They had grates and
chimney-pieces exactly alike, and each had
a looking-glass which reached up to the
cornice of the room. The glass over the
side of the chimney-piece could be seen
perfectly by the actors, and when at the
further end of the stage our " situations "
were reflected in it.
Before the charade began I spoke to Ma
jor Deverel. " The syllable fear is to be a
scene with banditti, you know; you are to
be just entering the stage front the library.
I, and my friends and the maid are to come
on the stage in a state of terror, the ban
ditti having robbed us, and turned us out
of our carriage. I rush up to you to save
us—and you"—he was listening with the
drollest half smile upon his attentive face.
I know I looked alarmed for the success
of any acting that he might be concerned
in, and he rend my thoughts exactly.
"Don't be frightened before the tune,"
he said. "I won't arrange anything.
Whatever you may do, I shall do exactly
as I ought to. I mean, as I should do if so
placed in real life. Now go—Bertie is
making signs for you."
What outrageous, silly confidence ! And
yet he spoke so pleasantly that I could not
scold.
"Bertie was in full power; a blazing
interest in the work to be begun instantly
glowed in his handsome face. 'O, major,
have you pistols Ah, you have changed
your cont.' I then saw that he had a cloak
on, and pistols strapped round him. 'Your
father dressed me,' he said. 'I have not
done anything myself, I go wills the stream
this Valentine's day, and make the best of
the place on which the stream may land
me; that is all I am going to do."
" I can only add to this record of our
conversation, that I was more puzzled than
ever by Major Deverel's words and man.
ner, and found myself on the stage in
forming my audience, by means of a talk
with my friends that we had left our
traveling carriage for the luxury of an
afternoon walk while proceeding toward
Naples on an October day.
Off we went and on came the banditti by
the library door behind us. Their evil in
tentions were announced in the same
fashion, and they passed off, as we had.
The stage was then occupied by Major
Deverel, supposed to be on a walking ex
pedition. From the cries of alarm—the
clash of weapons— we women rushed back
to the stage. The maid on her knees in a
paroxysm of fright, the friend, fainting on
the top of the maid, and I rushing up to
Major Deverel, crying 'Save us !'
Then in a momenta grand tableau was
formed. I found myself within the major's
strong left arm; and I confess I struggled,
for I had not intended lay rusts to end in
such harborage. But I was a mere feather
compared with his strength. With a power
which I don't forget he drew me closer to
him, and held me caged within the bend of
his iron arm. I glanced up to his face.
What a face it was ! His right arm was
stretched out, and the pistol in his hand
cowed the chief of the banditti, Master Ber
tic, who looked mesmorizcd under the earn
est, glowing face, and steady, triumphant
eye. No one ever saw a more real thing
than Major Deverel's attitude and expres
sion ; the curtain dropped amidst immense
applause, and I was released with a quiet
smile. He put his pistol into his belt, and
said, as if to himself, "The queerest thing
in the world. I'm glad it's over, though !"
"What is queer, and what is over P I
said—we were re-arranging ourselves in the
library now. Ile answered, "By and by—
by and by."
The word "full" was acted by a busy
postman delivering valentines to a crowd
who met him, and from whose full bags
they tilled pockets, baskets, brown-paper
parcels. It was made a very merry scene
by the boys, and all the young friends, who
made the gathering crowd WI the stage was
full, and the curtain dropped again.
The whole word was the recounting of
the banditti danger to a nervous lady ex
cellently acted by Mary Drake, who really
worked herself up to a very fearful state
while I told the story as well as her nerves
allowed and the perpetual interruptions,
caused by the remedies she so constantly
called for, permitted.
There were two more charades, but the
major's acting—the force, the interest, the
expression he had put into his part—
formed the topic of the night. Everybody
had "felt it so." Thnt was the general ex
perience; It found expression in many
words, and the major's praises reached
him, of course. All the answer lie made
was, " I never acted in my life—never took
part in any charade before." •
When our friends had gone, and we were
alone, standing about in the supper room,
my brother told Major Deverel again that
he had never seen such acting as in that
first charade, adding, "1 nm very glad we
had you to do it."
" So am I," was the brief answer. " But
to me it was not acting. For one moment
I saw, reflected in the great glass over your
side fire-place, the whole scene. It was in
every particular the counterpart of some•
thing I had seen before. I dare say I look
ed in earnest. I never felt more solemnly
stirred. I never wanted all the courage I
could command more at that moment, when
you all clapped and praised us. When the
curtain dropped, by Jove! how glad I
was."
" Well, now, I am sure he is mad," was
my whisper, as I refreshed myself with a
glass of wine, offered gallantly by Bertie ;
but Julia seemed to think differently.
" Hew strange !" she exclamed. " May
we not know know all about it ? Won't
you tell us 1 You have no idea how real
that moment seemed. Do tell us—tell us
now."
" If you please," Major Deverel said.—
So we sat down, and he began.
" It is a very strange story, and I am
not going to try to account for it. I shall
leave you to do that, if you choose to try.
I shall tell facts in few words—so hero I
begin. Some years ago I was at Constan
tinople. I was with a party of friends,and
others joined us. We were all "on leave"
of one sort or other, and ready to enjoy
ourselves; and we all messed together at a
French tavern in the suburb called Para,
where we lived, and enjoyed ourselves
gre tly. We were a party of nine, as near
ly as I can recollect. English, French,
Irish and Scotch. I was the only English
man, I know.
" One day I remarked that a very intel
ligent Scotchman was silent, and appar
ently distressed, at our dinner: and after
wards I was told by a French friend of his,
with whom I wit!) walking on the height
that overlooks the magnificent harbor of
the-Golden Horn, that the Scotchman bad
done a foolish thing,—perhaps worse, a
wrong thing, explained the Frenchmar,
he had been, in a spirit of fun, to ask about
his future of a Turk who practiced necro
mancy, and he bad come away sad, silent
and puzzled. It was said that this sor
cerer, if he was one, could show, in a sort
of vision, any moment of your future life
that you liked to ask for. But if-you fixed
on a moment in the future beyond the term
of your life, you beheld only a hideous
blank—l say hideous, because the blank
had an effect of the most desolating de
scription on all who beheld it. There was
only darkness and nothingness. The end
of the room seemed to be gone, and all
things gone with it; and some strong men
had been said to have fainted when this
revelation of utter loss had been made to
them. Such a revelation had been suffered
by our Scotch friend. He asked to see
what that moment would be on that day
two years, and had been answered by the
awful darkness I have mentioned. After
a day or two, I determined to go to the
sorcerer myself. I told my French friend,
who tried, but in vain, to dissuade me. I
would not listen. He refused to go with
me, 80 I took an Irishman, a general favor
ite with me. He was called O'Neil. I don't
know why I went. I think I felt it would
do Patterson, the Scotchman, good if a
few of us were in a similar predicament
with himself. I know I had no belief in
these prophetic visions being true. O'Neil
and I paid our visit to the " Wise man" on
Valentine's day. It was at night—or rath
er in the evening—in fact just before nine
o'clock. No difficulty of any kind was
made. I put down gold—half a sovereign,
for I was going to do it as cheaply as I
could. He said, "Double that; you will
require more than one vision." I said
shortly that I only wanted one; and that
O'Neil would be with me. He told me to
take back the gold, for to have O'Neal with
me was impossible. I agreed then to go
by myself, and we went up stairs. The
man lived in such a house as the more opu
lent Turks inhabit—built round a court,
where a fountain played very lazily. I re
member that the drip of the water seemed
to add to the strange silence in this man's
dwelling, rather than to disturb it. Every
drop was heard so perfectly, telling of the
unnatural quiet, as the ticking of is clock
tells of the silent passage of time. We
went through the court together, up a great
marble staircase, and through a passage
where the walls were painted, and inlaid
in places with ivory, jasper, and mother
of-pearl, in the most tasteless, ignorant
way. We got at last into a great room
like a gallery, perfectly dark, except for a
circle of small lamps that burnt about two
feet from the floor in the cenlrcof the room,
as nearly as I could guess. Ina moment I
got accustomed to the dim light, and then
l(saw that the " wise man" was standing
at the very farthest end and was holding
out his arm to me. He had before told me
only to speak when he spoke to me. Pre
sently he said to me, "Ask for the moment
you wish to see." I said " This time next
year.' I felt the room grow warmer. I
perceived a highly fragrant scent as of
some sweet wood burning; then the cud of
the room grew brighter and brighter, some
thing as you may see at sunrise, though
the light was less glowing, and then, by
degrees, like a thing being revealed out of
the wavy light and the receding darkness,
I saw a distinct scene—a scene which, but
for its perfect stillness, no one could have
distinguished front real life. There were
two men on the ground; one was dead—l
had never seen him then—the other was
myself, apparently dying. An Indian was
on his knees trying to staunch the blood
that flowed from a wound which I could
not see. I looked at it steadily. I took in
every particular—more people appeared in
hazy outlines, and a horse— then the min
ute was over, and the whole was all
gone. The man was at toy side before I
knew that he had left the place where I
had seen him, and lie spoke ; " You wish
for another ?" I said. "I don't know—
wait." Don't speak till you are spoken to.
I will ask you again soon."
In this silent interval I wondered with
myself what it was best to do. The ques
tion, " Did I Der—or, "Shall I die?" I
suppose I ought to say—was so strong
within me that I felt it would be Lest, at
all risks, to answer it. If the next sight
gave me the dismal blank, I should know
what I feared—if not, I should fear no
more. It was best to know. So, when I
was asked, " Will you see more," I said,
" Yes." " What moment shall it be 1" The
voice came again front the farthest corner.
I said this time five years." And it came."
' What came!" asked my brother.
" Why, this night—the moment when I
held her in with my left arm, and pointed
my pistol at Bertie."
" Did you see Bertie ?"
'• I saw only myself, and a woman, just
as she was. I knew the cloak when you
put it on me. As I covered the lad with
my pistol, I caught the flash of the lock in
the looking glass, and one glance gave me
the scene complete, myself with my pistol
pointed, and your sister in my arms. When
I had seen this scene, too, fade away, the
sorcerer said, "You will see another ?"
But I answered No. I shall carve out
my life for myself in spite of you," and I
came away. . .
"And is this night the very night—the
anniversary ?"
Yes, it is. I never thought of it till I
met you to-day in the drive, and Bertie
said it was Valentine's day.''
And what of the first scene-.
come to pass'"
" Yes. That very day a year, at the
same hour. I was stationed at Quebec.
We had been out on a hunting excursion
with some friendly Indians. A hostile
tribe knew of us, and sonic of them on
horseback came upon us. One man was
killed, and the flow of blood from with
drawing an arrow with which I had been
wounded made me so faint that, till an In
.ian staunched it by making a tourniquet
it itla a handkerchief, I could not be moved.
on will not wonder now at my having
i,etrayed my interest in all that to-day
might bring to me, and in my saying I
would do nothing—that I would go with
the stream. I really do believe that, in
unbelieving nations, some sort of black
art" is practiced still."
Ilere this strange story ended, and we
went to bed, and some of us dreamt of it
The next morning, which was bright as
the preceding one, 1 met Major Deverel in
the hall. It was my office to make break
fast. He stood by me. The clock struck
ninj.
" About this hour yesterday I met you
in the drive. It struck 11 ine when I was
making enquiries at the lodge."
There was something odd in his monitor,
I thought. I said, "My sister and brother
are late this morning."
Tired with my long story ?" he said
Not very long, but very strange."
"Let's make it as long as we can,' he
said —" till death us do part?" and his
pleasant, promising eyes were upon me.
" 0, Major Deverel, it is only twenty
four hours! A soldier's wooing
"I should like nothing so much in the
world !" said a voice—not mine. My broth
er had come in, and, hearing the last words
had answered them.
And certainly, before 12 o'clock, I had
said a sort of "Yes," but balanced by as
many " ifs" as I craftily thought would
serve to make it " No" whenever I pleased.
And now, as I think of it, I remember that
my husband did not pay as much attention
to those " ifs," as I intended. Ile after
wards even denied that he had heard them
at 011.

The following is the text of the Pope's

race has attacked, and still attacks, the
House of God. Under his guidance, that
wicked conspiracy of the impious is
widely diffused. Strong in union, power
tut to wealth, protected by . Institutions,
and wearing the liberal veil\of malice,
and full of weakness, it does not
ceasa Its most bitter war against
the ±acred Church of Christ. You know
the nature of that war—its power. its aims,
its progress, its councils. You have con
tinuatty before your eyes the trouble and
contusion, the grievous perversion of all
r gbt the various arts of bold lying and
o,rruptlou by which the wholesome bonds
of justice, integrity and authority are loos
ened, the worst passions are inflamed, the
Christian faith rooted out from souls, so
that the end of God's Charon might well be
feared now, if it were possible for it to be
destroyed by any machinations or endeav
ors of man. But, as St. John Chrysostom
said, "Nothing is more powerful than the
Church—the Church Is stronger than Heav
en itself." "Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass."
What words? "Thou ail Peter, and on this
rick I shall buildmy Chttreb, and the gates
of Hell shall not prevail against it."
• More Byron Scandal.
Mrs. Anna Cora Moivittt Ritchie has
written a letter from London, In which she
says that she has heard a member of Lady
Byron's family acknowledge that Lady
Byron made the same statement to him
about Mrs. Leigh which seems to have
been made to Mr , . Stowe. We also learn
from Mrs. Ritchie that Colonel George
Gordon De Liana Byron has arrived in
England, and laid before Lord Wentworth
his claim to be recognized as the legitimate
son of the poet. Colonel Byron was an of
ficer of Fremont's during the war, and his
story has been extensively published in
the American press. He Bays that Lord
Byron visited Spain during his youth, sad
there contracted a secret marriage with a
Catholic lady of good family, but deserting
her and becoming enamored of other fair
faces, determined to conceal an alliance
which was legally net binding: This
American Colonel avows himself the fruit
of that union. He further declares that
Lady Byron discovered the secret by means
of some correspondence between the poet
and his Spanish bride, and this discovery
was the true cause of i he famous separation.
Colonel Byron Berms to have furnished no
proof as }et to au hstauna.e his romantic
tale, and Lord Wentworth accordingly
defers re: eiviog him with open arms.
An Art Mani SkelAion
The Welsh fasting girl, who has attracted
so much attention in Great Britain, it is
reported by the last foreign mails, died at
Pencador, Wales, on December 17th, In a
state of delirium. The parents of his girl,
who derived a handsome income by means
of the presents from visitors to their die
eased daughter, asserted that she had eaten
nothing for more than two years. The ac
count of this supposed phenomenon spread
over England, and many persona asserted
that the girl was secretly furnished with
food. In order to refute this assertion, the
parents Invited an investigation, and a short
umeago four professional nurses from Guys
Hospital, London, were sent as watchers.
These persons, in parties of two, stationed
themselves at the girl's bedside, and re
mained there, one on each Side, night and
day. When the watching commenced, the
girl's pulse wart 813 per minute, and gradu•
ally rose to over 112, and no Mod was ad•
ministered to her during_ the seven days
and a half which elapsed before her death,
in a state of delirium. The English papers
say that this girl, Sarah Jacobs, was probe
bly an Imposter, but not to the extent that
has been imputed. El3sterlcal sufferers can
abstain from Mod for a long period and are
often predisposed to this form of self denial,
but that this girl should have been able to
live for two years without ordinary suste
mince is incredible. Iter Math was un
doubtedly hastened from her being watched
so strictly while it, a miserable low condo•
don of body, and although measures were
taken rather to detect imposture than to
effect a cure, 3 et the result wilt be to defeat
future attempts to gain a reputation fur
"miraculous lasting."
In Cnlcago, the total value of manu
factures for the year ending to day was
$580,000,000, a decrease of $50.000,000
compared with 1868; of goods received
in the city, $415,652,000, an increase of
$18,100,000; and of wholesale sales, as
reported, $369.035,530, an increase of
$19,445,170. The number of buildings
erected was 3423, against 4410 in 1868.
Vincent Colyer, on Wednesday, pre
sented to the President a memorial from
merchants and other residents of Brit
fish Columbia, asking to be annexed to
the United States The President in-
Informed Colyer yesterday that he
had read the meow:jai with great in
