THE BYRONS.
MRS. STOWS'S STORY CONFIRMKD VX ANOTHER
WJTXES3.
From Tlio Nation.
We were told the n.ain facts of this histo
ry something more than tea years ago, and
this was bow it was told to us: A what
ever time tho incestuous connection be
tween Byron and his sister may hive b
gun, Lady Byron know nothing of it, as
we heard tbe story, until after the birth of
ber child. Some timo alter that event,
probably about tho begioning of January,
1816, Byron told her of the intrigue, saying
that bo bad never loved any otber woman
than the partner oi his guilt. She natural
ly supposed it to be a delusion of insanity
and it was tinder this impression that she
consulted Dr. Baiilio about him, which is
ono of bis main charges against her in bis
letters, and is "Don Juan." It was while
under this belief she wrote the playful let-
tor to Byron after leaving him, which is
a!se one of tho counts iu tbe indictment
against her. Atter reaching Kirby Mallo
ry, her futber's honso, she bad certain
proofs of tbo truth of what her husband bad
told her, from which time sue left him for
ever.
Not:, wo do not affirm that this version of
the story is absolutely authentic. We tull
It at it was told to us; but most certainly it
is inherently more probable than the one
given by Mrs. fctowe. it is a key to tbe
whole mystery, and the solution is greatly
honorable to lady Byron. It accounts for
her silence Be to tbe cause of the separa
tion. Her lips were sealed as long as Mrs.
Leigh lived. It accounts fur her consulta
tion with Dr. Baillie, and for ber letter af
ter leaving Byron, and before knowing that
a separation was inevitable It accounts,
too, for Dr. LusMng'.cn'e statements con
firming her own saying, that "a incoucilia
tion was impossible," and that '-if such an
idi'a should bo entertained be could not,
professionally or otbeiwise, take any fart
toward effecting it."
The wondorfiil two bended girl Is still on
exhibition in Now England, blio singB
duets by herself. Pho has- a great advan
tage over the rcBt or ber sex, for she never
has to stop talking to cut, nnd when sho is
net eating she keeps both tongues going at
onco. She has a lover, and this lover is in
quandary, Localise at otic and tho snme
moment sbo accepted him with one mouth
and rejected him with the olhor. He doos
not know which to believe. Ho wishes to
sue for breach ol promise, but this is a
hopeless experiment, because only half tbe
girl has been guilty of tbe breach. This
girl has two heads, four arms and four legs,
but only one body, and she (or tbey) is (or
are) seventeen years old. Now, is she ber
own sister? Is sho twins! Or, having but
one body, and consequently but one heart,
is she strictly but one person? If tbe
above-named young man marries bor, will
be be guilty of bigamy? This double girl
has only one name, and passes for one girl
but when she talks back and forth at her
self with bor two mouths, is she soliloquiz
ing? Does sbe expect to have one vote, or
two? Has sbe tbe same opinions as herself
on all subjects, or docs Bhe differ sometimes?
Would sbe feel insulted if sho were to spit
in ber own face?

Apropos of tho apocryphal difficulty be
tween Commodore Vanderbilt and Corneli
us Garretson, Mark Twain relates a simliar
story of an unpleasantness between tho
former gentleman and Hon. John Morrissoy,
whioh is to tbe effect that tho CommoJoro
owed Morrissey forty cents. Morrissey'wont
down to his office with keg of powder and
a match. He locked tbe door. He swal
lowed the key. He lit another match. lie
plaoed it closo to Vandorbllt's head. Ho
said one or the other must sit down on the
keg tako your choice. Mr. Vuuderbilt is
not easily frightened, but bo saw be was in
a close place. Ho paid the forty cents.
Morrissey departed with bis keg. Since
that time both buvo been better triunds to
each otber than both oi them put together
ever wero beforp.
