In issuing The Forfar Directory for 1887, the Publisher begs
to thank all those who have supplied information for it, and also
Advertisers for their liberal patronage. He has used every endeavour
to make it complete, accurate, and useful as a book of reference on
matters connected with the Town, and hopes that it will be as
favourably received as those of previous years — the success of which
has been very gratifying.

"DISTRUST is poison to FRIENDSHIP. "

WIT AND WISDOM.

The best way to keep good acts
in memory is to refresh them
with new ones.

Waste of wealth is sometimes
retrieved ; waste of health, sel-
dom ; but waste of time, never.

Mankind generally seem will-
ing to admit that the world re-
volves on its axis. The great
mistake made is that each man
thinks he is the axis.

In the exhaustless catalogue of
Heaven's mercies to mankind, the
power we have of finding some
germs of comfort in the hardest
trials must ever occupy the fore-
most place.

Every day sends to their graves
a number of obscure men, who
have only remained in obscurity
because their timidity has pre-
vented them from making a first
effort.

Woman has to wait until she is
asked before she can marry. She
has no voice in the matter until
after the ceremony. Then she
knows how to make up for lost
time.

It should be known that a small
quantity of vinegar will generally
destroy immediately an insect
that may find its way into the
stomach: and a little salad oil
will kilL an insect that may enter
the ear.

Woman' s Wrongs.— " My dear,' '
he remarked to his wife, " our club
is going to have all the home
comforts." "Indeed," sneered his
wife, "and when is our home to
have all the club comforts 1 " He
gave it up, yet she wants an
answer to her question.

One day, just as an English offi-
cer had arrived at Vienna, the Em-
press, knowing that he had seen a
certain princess much celebrated
for her beauty, asked him if it
was really true that she was the
most beautiful woman he had
ever seen. " I thought so yester-
day," he replied.

For my part, when I hear of the
marrying and giving in marriage
that is constantly being trans-
acted, I can only sigh for those
who are multiplying earthly ties
which, though powerful enough to
detach their hearts and thoughts
from heaven, are so brittle as to
be liable to be snapped asunder
by every breeze.— George Eliot.

The late Dean Stanley was once
travelling in a railway carriage,
when a blustering man exclaimed,
" 1 should like to meet the Dean
of Westminster. I'd put a ques-
tion to him that would puzzle
him." "Very well," said a voice
out of another corner, " now is the
time, for I am the Dean." The
man was rather sta.rtled, but pre-
sently recovered, and said, " Well,
sir, can you tell me the way
to heaven?" "Nothing easier,"
answered the Dean ; " you have
only to turn to the right and go
straight forward."

Circumstances are beyond the
control of man ; but his conduct
is in his own power.

-Pride is increased by igno-
rance ; those assume the most
who know the least.

It is not our beliefs that
frighten us half so much as our
fancies.

The disappointment of man-
hood succeeds to the delusion of
youth ; let us hope that the heri-
tage of age is not despair.

My daughter, if the cross comes
to you as a.wife, you must carry
it as a wife. You may say, " I will
forsake my husband," but you can-
not cease to be a wife.— George
Eliot.

The true should welcome all
truth. It is a half-faith that
trembles for its own existence at
every rumour of a new discovery
in science. A strong faith fears
nothing. God is one; He will not
contradict Himself.

Better to hunt in fields for wealth
unbought,

Than fee the doctor for a nauseous
draught.

The wise for cure on exercise de-
pend ;

God never made His work for man
to mend.

We are ruined, not by what we
really want, but by what we think
we do ; therefore, never go abroad
in search of your wants. If they
be real wants tbey will come home
in search of you : for he that buys
what he does not want, will soon
want what he cannot buy.

Brush and Pencil.— It is not
a waste of time to test the natural
capacity for drawing and paint-
ing. If the faculty exists, it is
sure to develop under any sort of
attentive culture and practice.
If it does not exist, the pastime
growing out of the attempt to
find out whether it is there or
not is a good fillip to the mind.

It being agreed at a party of
twelve, equally composed of ladies
and gentlemen, that a disputed
question should be settled by the
opinion of the majority, the six
ladies expressed themselves op-
posed to the six gentlemen, and
claimed the victory. A gentle-
man objected to this, as the num-
ber of votes was equal, saying
that they were "half and half."
" True," replied a witty fair one,
" but we are the better halves."

An American strolled into a
fashionable church just before the
service began. The sexton fol-
lowed him up, and tapping him
on the shoulder, and pointing to
a small cur that had followed
him into the sacred edifice, said,
" Dogs are not admitted." " That's
not my dog," replied the visitor.
" But he follows you." "Well, so
do you." The sexton growled,
and removed the dog with un-
necessary violence.

A man of maxims only is like a
Cyclops with one eye, and that
eye placed in the back of his head.

Consider how few things are
worthy of anger, and you will
wonder that any but fools should
be in wrath.

There are nettles everywhere,
But smooth, green grasses are

more common still;
The blue of heaven is larger than

the cloud.— Mrs. Browning.

If there were no enemy, there
could be no conflict ; were there
no trouble, there' could be no
faith ; were there no fear, there
could be no hope. .

Fine sense and exalted sense
are not half so valuable as com-
mon sense. There are forty men
of wit for one man of sense ; and
he that will carry nothing about
him but gold, will be every day
at a loss for want of readier
change.

There are two beings in each
of us — the animal and the angel :
our business is to resist the one
in order that the other may
reign supreme, up to the moment
when, freed from its burdensome
shackles, it can take flight to-
wards higher and better regions.

Home Tenderness.— No matter
how busy a man may be, he should
find time every day to tell his
wife he loves her. No matter
what social demands may be made
upon the woman, she should find
time to kiss her husband and give
him one of the smiles that were
so sweet to him when he came
courting her. No matter what
their daily cares, the parents
should find time to take the
children upon their knees and
caress them with kind words and
tender touches.

The little I have seen of the
world teaches me to look upon
the errors of others in sorrow, not
in anger. When I take the his-
tory of one heart that has sinned
and suffered, and represent to my-
self the struggles and tempta-
tions it has passed through— the
brief pulsations of joy, the fever-
ish inquietude of hope and fear,
the pressure of want, the deser-
tion of friends— I would fain leave
the erring soul of my fellow-man
with Him from whose hand it
came.

It is needful to be very care-
ful what habits we fall into. It
is almost easier to give up life
than fixed habits. It is said of
Sir David Wilkie, the painter,
that he had a drawling way of
pronouncing the word " really,"
which he used very often. A
friend once said to him, " Do you
know that people complain of
your continual ' rea-al-ly V" After
musing for an instant, Wilkie
rejoined, "Do they, ' rca-al-ly ? "
" Don't repeat it ! " cried the
friend, "it annoys me." Wilkie
looked up smiling. "Bea-al-ly?"
1 said he.

AMONG the most famous families in
Worcestershire two or three cen-
turies ago were the Charlton Dinelys.
They traced a descent from the Koyal
House of Plantagenet ; they possessed
extensive estates, and flourished until
the close of the seventeenth century,
when the last male heir died. Hereupon
the estates fell into the hands of Sir
John Dinkly Goodere, Bart., of Charl-
ton and Burghope, whose abduction
and murder is the subject of our illus-
tration. For a series of years he lived
on bad terms with his brother, Captain
Samuel Goodere, lt.N. A mutual friend,
however, a Mr. Smith, attorney-at-law,
of College Street, Bristol, invited the
brothers to dine with him, with a view
of effecting a reconciliation. At dinner
Sir John and the captain appeared to be
as good friends as ever, and as the latter
was departing he took leave of the
baronet in the most affectionate manner
imaginable. It was then dark and about
six o'clock in the evening. Early in the
morning of that day Captain Goodere
had ordered dinner for six men at the
" White Hart " on College Green. The
latter were dressed like seamen, and in
conversation during dinner mentioned
very frequently a man named Mahony.
In the afternoon, after dinner was over,
Captain Goodere sent to the landlord
of the "White Hart" the order to make
tea for the six men, " which greatly
surprised him : it being very uncom-
mon drink for Jack Tars." They all
eventually went away of a sudden, and
joined Captain Goodere, who pointed
out to them the stately figure of his
brother, the baronet, on his way home.
Acting up to previous arrangement, one
of the six seized the old gentleman, and
they all dragged him along towards the

""WHERE EVERY ONE MINDS HIS OWN BUSINESS THE WORK IS DONE.

Rope Walk, where was a gang: of twelve more of
them l who were ready to assist according to the
captain's instruction. The victim was hurried to-
wards the Hot-wells, where a boat was waiting to
receive him. Captain Goodere was directing the
gang all the time, and when his brother cried out,
"Murderl murder! lam Sir John Dinely Goodere,"
the captain stopped his mouth with his cloak, so
that the people, not knowing his name, only asked
what was the matter. The explanation given to
these inquirers was that Sir John was a thief and a
murderer, and having made his escape from the
ship, they were going to take him aboard to secure
him in order for his trial. Having got the victim
into the boat, he was allowed a little more liberty.
He spoke to his brother thus:— "Brother, I know
you have an intention to murder me. I beg that, if
you are resolved to do it, you would do it here,
and not give yourself the trouble of taking me
down to your ship." To which the captain replied,
" No, brother, I am going to prevent your rotting
upon land ; but however, I would have you make
your peace with God this night;" and so, without
more ado, Captain Goodere hurried his brother
aboard the ship Ruby, the crew of which were told
" that they need not mind his noise, because he was
mad ; and that he had brought him on board on
purpose to prevent his making away with himself."
The victim was then conveyed to the purser's cabin,
and all of the ruffians, except two, named Mahony
and White, were ordered ashore, with directions to
conceal themselves and keep out of the way of
inquiry. The conspirators in the outrage were re-
warded by Captain Goodere with a guinea each.
None of them belonged to Goodere's ship, but to
another lying out, by name the Vernon Schooner. It
was the night of the 23rd January, 1742, upon which
the outrage was committed. Sir John was kept in
the purser's cabin till five o'clock in the morning
of the following day, when the outrage was con-
summated. Lieutenant Berry, the cooper of the
ship, and his wife witnessed the whole transaction
through a crevice in the partition. The agreement
between Goodere, White, and Mahony was, that
Mahony should have £200, White £150, and what
money the deceased had in his pockets, and his
gold watch. After the agreement was concluded.
Mahony and White went about their bloody work,
the captain standing sentry, with his drawn sword
in one hand and a pistol in the other, to kill the
first person that should make any opposition to
what they were about. The first thing they did was
to take a handkerchief out of the baronet's pocket ;
White held his hands, while Mahony put it about
his neck, and then each of them pulled as hard as
he could, in order to strangle him at once ; but Sir
John making a desperate struggle, the ruffians
could not effect it so as to prevent his crying out,
"Murder! for God's sake don't kill me! take all I
have, but save my life ! Dear brother ! What, must
I die? Help! help! murder!" &c. To prevent
further noise, Captain Goodere ordered Mahony to
take a cord he had laid ready. Mahony then slipped
off the handkerchief, and put the cord about Sir
John's neck, which cord had a noose at the end ;
then Mahony. holding the cord in one hand, thrust
the other in the victim's throat, and his knee against
his stomach. In the meanwhile White held his
hands, and took out of his pocket eight guineas
and a gold watch. Then White came directly to
Captain Goodere, and acquainted him with what was
done, and showed him his brother's watch and money.
The captain then asked Mahony and White whether
the job was quite completed. They answered,
"Yes." Then he gave Mahony and White what
money he had ahout him, and bade them get ashore
directly, that they might the more easily make their
escape before daylight came. The manner in which
the diabolical murder was first brought to light,
notwithstanding that it had been witnessed by
officers of Goodere's ship, was somewhat singular.
Mr. Smith, the gentleman at whose house Sir John
Dinely Goodere and his brother spent a sociable
hour together the day before, accidentally heard
that a person who had the appearance of a gentle-
man was hurried in a very violent manner over
College Green, and that a gentleman, who, by the
description of him, answered to the person of the
captain, assisted. Mr. Smith, knowing the ship was

to sail the first fair wind, and remembering that the
brothers left the house nearly together, .thought the
captain had taken Sir John on board with intent to
destroy him when he came upon the high seas.
This suspicion, being strengthened by other circum-
stances, made so deep an impression on his mind,
that early in the morning he appiied himself to
Henry Coombe, Esq., the mayor, for an officer to go
and search the ship before she sailed out of the
liberty of the city. The officer the mayor thought
fit to send was the water-bailiff, with proper assist-
ance, and full orders to search the ship for Sir John
Dinely Goodere, Bart. The officer obeyed his orders ;
and coming to the ship, the cooper, his wife, and
Lieutenant Berry acquainted ■•him that they had
been just consulting about the affair, and discovered
to him what they knew of the whole matter, the
captain being then safe in his cabin. The water-
bailiff sent immediately this account to the city
magistrates, who reinforced him with a strong
guard to secure the captain, but before the guard
came the cooper and lieutenant had done the busi-
ness. On the 26th of March, Captain Goodere, Mat-
thew Mahony, and Charles White were arraigned
for the murder. Captain Goodere's defence was
that he was innocent ; that his brother was a lunatic,
and had strangled himself in a fit of frenzy. All
were sentenced to death, and accordingly executed
and hung in chains to the north of the Hot-wells,
in sight of the place where the ship lay when the
murder was committed.

The deceased gentleman was a Herefordshire
baronet, and the fourth son of Sir Edward Goodere.
The family had formerly enjoyed the honour of
knighthood, and had been of considerable note and
esteem in their respective counties. His father,
Sir Edward Goodere, was created a Baronet of Burg-
hope, in Herefordshire (the seat of the family), in
the sixth of Queen Anne ; and afterwards had a seat
in the House of Commons, as knight of the shire for
the county of Hereford. Before the death of Sir
Edward, a person named Dinely, a relation, who was
possessed of a very plentiful fortune, and who lived
near Evesham, in Worcestershire, having a great
respect for the late Sir John, made him his heir, on
condition that he should change his name ; for which
purpose he obtained an Act of Parliament. Sir John,
when young, was not very tractable, and his father
sent him on a voyage to the East Indies. As he
could not learn much gentility on board ship, he
returned to his father (who had some thought of
getting him a commission in the Royal Navy), and
expressing a dislike of being sent from home, de-
clared he would never more go to sea ; and it is said,
his rather on this declaration of his told him he
was more fit for a boatswain than to enjoy the title
of baronet.

HOLY ISLAND.

Holy Island measures from east to west about
two miles and a quarter in length, and its breadth
from north to south is scarcely a mile and a half.
At the north-west part there runs out a slip of land
about a mile in length ; the circumference of the
entire island comprehends about eight miles. It is
included in the county of Northumberland, to which
it is joined at low water by flat sands, over which
a practicable road for vehicles leads to the island.
The island derives its name from a monastery
founded on it in 635 by Oswald, King of North-
umbria. Its ruins were described by bcott as "a
solemn, huge, and dark red pile." Years ago, in
the middle of what was called the Market Place— it
was a square, from which branched a few irregular
narrow streets— there stood the stump of an old
Market Cross, which was called the " Petting
Stone." Over this stone newly-married couples
were made to leap for luck. In the place of this
remnant of a curious custom, modern improvement
a long time since erected a Norman cross. There is
a castle on the island, situate to the east of the
villae-e, on a basaltic rock about 90 feet high. It
dates from a very early period. In 1646 it was gar-
risoned by Parliament, and in 1715 an abortive at-
tempt was made by two Jacobites to hold it for the
Pretender. The village, not so large as it used to
be, is now a favourite summer resort.

3Rtfmnce to Illustration.

JOHN HEMLING, the clever minia-
ture painter of the Flemish School,
was indebted to a very extraordinary
and casual incident for the education
which gave him his honoured position
in later years. The incident is depicted
in the illustration. It was at the early
age of fourteen that he was fortunate
enough to attract the notice of the great
painter, John Van Eyck, under some-
what peculiar circumstances. The boy's
father, known as " tall Hans," was
a farmer, and periodically attended
the market of the important mercan-
tile town of Bruges with his produce
and game for sale, and was a very suc-
cessful business man. He complained
of his " good-for-nothing son, who
dreamt day and night of the great
painter, Van Eyck, and as his father
sayl, "blackened all his walls and tables
with his drawings." The boy was at-
tending his father as usual one October
day at his stall in the Bruges market-
place, but the Jad's thoughts were far
away, and he stood as one in a dream.
Presently one of his father's eccentric
but well-to-do customers appeared, Ma-
grew Vandermeer, the goldsmith's
widow, who always had sharp words for
"tall Hans" over the price of his produce.
On being informed the price of one of
the birds which she had examined, she
burst out in her usual way and com-
plained of its being thin and sick and
not worth the money. "Tall Hans" be-
came quite rude, and the altercation was
attracting several persons to the scene.
Suddenly, in the midst of the disturb-
ance, an exclamation burst from Ma-
grew's servant, "Ah! that is just like
Magrew," and all eyes were turned to
the speaker, and from her to the boy,
who unperceived had sketched a carica-

A FOOL IS LIKE OTHER MEN AS LONG AS HE IS SILENT.

tare of Magrew Vandermeer on a corner of the
table. This evoked much laughter and amusement
from those around. The old lady -was much in-
censed, and would have rubbed out the amusing
sketch, but several hands were at once stretched
out to protect it. During the disturbance a tall,
mild-looking man walked slowly across the market-
place. His brown velvet dress was trimmed with
tur.and he had a black cap on his long wavy hair.
Hewas accompanied by young men similarly dressed
who seemed to show him considerable respect. On
his approaching the group and seeing a disturbance,
he asked what was the matter, and at once a way
was made for him
by the people, when
he went up to the
table ; but the boy
ran to him, and
falling upon his
knees before him.
exclaimed, " Ah !
noble master, Van
Eyck, do not look
at my bad work."
The great painter,
however, bent over
the drawing, and
attentively studied
it. The boy jumped
up and stood by his
side, whereupon the
painter asked him
his name. "John
Hemling," said
"Van Byck. — "John
Hemling, will you
become my pupil? "
The boy echoed a
cry of delight, and
with gleaming eyes
exclaimed, " Indeed
I will!" He could
say no more, but
pressed the artist's
hand to his heart.

Magrew "Vander-
meer never forgave
the boy for the cari-
cature of her he had
drawn, and later
in life, when the
clever and success-
ful artist solicited
from her the hand
of her daughter
Ursula, she sternly
refused him. The
disappointment was
so great that he
joined the army,
and after enduring
the hardships of
war, he ultimately
retired into the Car-
thusian Monastery
of Miraflores, where
he died.

It may add to the wolsey'

interest of the epi-
sode to briefly refer to the master, Eyck. He was
born about 1390, and was taken charge of by Hubert,
his elder brother, who made him his disciple. Under
this tuition John learned to draw and paint, and mas-
tered the properties of colours from Pliny. Later,
Hubert admitted him into partnership, and both
were made Court painters to Philip of Charolais.
After the breaking-up of his own household, John
became his own master, and took an engagement as
pamtor to John, King of Bavaria, at that time resi-
dent at the Hague as Count of Holland. Prom the
Hague he returned, in 1424, to take service with
Philip, now Duke of Burgundy, and from that time
till his death John Van Eyck remained the faithful
servant of his prince, who never treated him other-
wise than generously. Philip the Good sent him
with the Embassy to beg the hand of Isabella of
Portugal, the portrait of whom, by Eyck, fixed the
duke's choice. He settled Anally at Bruges, one
of hie most successful pupils being young Hemling.

WOLSEY'S TOWER.

The village of Esher, pleasantly situated on a hill
to the south of Thames Ditton and Molesey, is a
picturesque and interesting spot. Among its many
scenes of attraction is Esher Place, the grounds of
which extend from the village down to the banks
of the Mole. Here, about a mile from Esher station,
and in the rear of Sandown Park, stands the curious
Gothic building and castellated gateway of our il-
lustration, and which is always styled in the neigh-
bourhood " Wolsey's Tower." Though it was not
built by that statesman, it was once tenanted by
him shortly before
his fall from the
king's good graces,
and when ho had
begun to have rea-
son to cry aloud,
" Farewell, a long
farewell to all my
greatness." And
doubtless here he
often walked at
eventide ; and on
the grassy banks of
the Mole, which
flowed deep and full
beneath his win-
dows, mused upon
the transitory na-
ture of royal fa-
vour. This gate-
way is all that now
remains of a house
which, from a sur-
vey of the manor
of Esher taken early
in the reign of Ed-
ward VI., appea rs to
have been "sump-
tuously built, with
divers offices, an
orchard and gar-
dens." There was
also, we are told,
a park adjoining,
three miles in cir-
cuit, well stocked
with deer. In the
early part of the
last century, the
mansion of Esher
Place consisted of
little more than this
old tower or gate-
way ; but Mr. Hy.
Pelham, brother of
the Duke of New-
castle, and then
owner of the pro-
perty, made consi-
derableadditions to
the building in a
style supposed to
correspond with the
original ; " but,"
to WEIL says Mr. Edward

"Waif ord, " rather in
the Gingerbread Gothic fashion of Strawberry
Hill." The additions, consisting of wings and
offices, were designed by Kent, the architect of the
eastern front of Kensington Palace ; but they were
inferior to the central part of the edifice, and, as
"Walpole himself remarks, " were proofs how little
he conceived either the principles or graces of
Gothic architecture."

The name of Kent, however, whom Walpole styles
"the inventor of an art that realises painting," has
been inseparably connected by the poet with

" Esher's peaceful grove,

Where Kent and Nature vie for Pelham's love."

Several engravings of the house and grounds at
Esher have been published at different times : one
of tlio earliest, a bird's-eye view by Knyff and Kip
another and larger plan was engraved by Rocgue in
1737 ; another was published in the same year by
Buck, and in 1759 yet another appeared.

IN Grecian history there is not a more
unique figure of a tyrant than that
of Polyceatks, who ruled in the island
of Santos, from about the year 537 B.C.,
when the island succumbed helplessly
to his despotism. He secured himself
against his enemies by attracting the
support of the poorer citizens through
his liberality, and by an alliance with
Ainasis, King of Egypt. He prospered
greatly, and his fame was wide in Greece.
His ships and bowmen enabled him to
gratify his rapacity for war, which he
made indiscriminately on friends and
foes alike, declaring, it is said, with
grim humour, that lie "gratified his
friends more by returning them their
own than by not taking it at all." His
court was one of extraordinary magnifi-
cence and splendour, and whatsoever be
did, into whatever warfare he plunged
himself, he met with invariable success.
Islands fell before him, as «ell as cities
on the mainland, Rhenen being among
the former, which he attached by a
chain to the neighbouring island of
Delos, and dedicated it to the Deliau
Apollo. He conquered and captured the
Lesbians in a sea-fight, when they would
have succoured Miletus, and he em-
ployed them in the digging of a moat
round his fortress. The abnormal pros-
perity (if Polycrates was his curse. It
filled his ally and guest Ainasis with
fear. The latter wrote to Polycrates
reminding him that God is jealous, and
the man who was elevated very high
must needs fall very low. Therefore
Amasis besought him that he would
avert the jealous wrath of Heaven, and
he adjured him to voluntarily cast from
him the most precious thing he was
possessed of to propitiate the heavenly
powers. In the possession of Polycrates

A THIEF THINKS EVERY MAN STEALS.

was a superb signet-ring, the work of one Theodoras
of Saiuos, consisting of emeralds set in gold, and
this was prised by the tyrant beyond all else.
Having hearkened to Amasis and regarded his
counsel, Polycrates threw the imperial signet into
the sea. The gods, however, rejected the offering,
for shortly afterwards a fisherman brought a large
fish to the ruler, in which, upon being opened, was
found the ring. When Amasis heard of this, he
felt that Polycrates was doomed, and he renounced
the alliance, that he might not in future have to
lament the fall of a friend. Before the forebodings
of Amasis were fulfilled, however, the latter died ;
but misfortune came to Polycrates soon enough.
When the Persians, under King Cambyses, were
preparing to invade Egypt, Polycrates, anxious to
conciliate the growing power of Persia, sent forty
6hips to their help. But the squadron , largely
manned by malcontents (of whom Polycrates wished
to get rid in this way), had hardly reached the
island of Oaparthus when the crews mutinied, and
turned the ships' heads back to Samos. They de-
feated the tyrant in an action at sea, but were
themselves overthrown on land, and were com-
pelled to flee the island. Having taken refuge in
Sparta, they prevailed upon the Spartans to make
war on Polycrates. A powerful Spartan armament

(2) a great breakwater round the harbour; and (3)
the great Temple of Hera, patron goddess of Samos,
said by Herodotus to be the largest he had ever
6een. The Temple of Hera would seem to have
been begun before the time of Polycrates. He
imported Spartan and Molo^sian hounds, goats from
Naxos and Scyros, sheep from Attica and Miletus.
The splendour of his palace is testified by the design
which, many centuries later, Caligula formed of
rebuilding it. Foreign artists worked for him at
large wages ; from Athens he brought Damacedes,
the greatest physician of the age, at a salary of two
talents. Polycrates was also a patron of letters; he
collected a library, and lived on terms of intimate
friendship with the poet Anacreon, whosi verses
were full of his references to his patron. The
philosopher Pythagoras, however, quitted Samos in
order to escape his tyranny.

LARGS CHURCH.

The church at Largs, we are told, is of some an-
tiquity. Largs is a parish in the county of Ayr, a
little over sixty-five miles south-west by west of

laid siege to Samos, but had to retire, after forty
days, without effecting its object. Not very long
afterwards Oraetes, the Persian satrap, by working
on the avarice and ambition of Polycrates, lured
him to Magnesia, where they crucified him. The
island, impoverished and devastated, was after-
wards given to a brother of Polycrates. Herodotus
says of Polycrates that he was the first within
historical times who aimed at the sovereignty of
the seas, and his ambitious schemes embraced not
only the Greek islands, but also Ionia. In magni-
ficence none of the Greek tyrants, save those of
Syracuse, could compare with him. According to
Aristotle, his great public works were executed for
the purpose of employing his subjects, and diverting
their thoughts from the recovery of their freedom.
There were three great engineering and architec-
tural works for which Samos was remarkable : (1) a
tunnel about 1,400 yards long dug through a moun-
tain, and serving to bring water to the capital ;

Edinburgh. It is pleasantly situated on the shore
of the Frith of Clyde, immediately opposite to the
island of Bute, and there are few situations which
exhibit more romantic scenery- Adjacent to the
town is the battle-field of Largs, where Alexander
III. defeated Haco, King of Norway, in 1263. This
Haco the Fifth was surnamed the Old, and he was,
on the death of his father, excluded from the throne
on aocount of his supposed illegitimacy. He, how-
ever, became king in 1223, after his mother, to estab-
lish his rights, had undergone the ordeal of fire.
He greatly increased the prosperity of Norway, and
he also added to his kingdom Iceland and Green-
land. His dispute with Alexander III. of Scotland
was in regard to the sovereignty of the Hebrides,
and he set sail in 1263 on a great expedition against
the west of Scotland. He took possession of Arran
and Bute; but suffered such a severe defeat at
Largs that he was compelled to put to sea agaia.
He sailed to Orkney, where he died.

THEB.B is probably no conspiracy in
the history of the sixteenth cen-
tury which can be regarded as more re-
markable than that of the " Holy Maid
of Kent" and her numerous accomplices.
Elizabeth Barton lived at the house
of Thomas Cobbe, in the parish of Ald-
ington, in Kent, and happening to be
visited with sickness by which her brain
became weakened, she had many epilep-
tic seizures. In her trances she saw
visions and uttered words and prophe-
cies having connection with King Henry
VIII. 's endeavour to divorce Queen
Catherine. She confided these to her
parish priest, Richard Masters, who
made them known to Dr. Bockling, a
canon of Canterbury, through whom
they became widely known, and were
everywhere proclaimed to he Divine
revelations, and she obtained the de-
scription of the " Holy Maid of Kent."
Though she recovered her perfect health
" by diet and physic, and by the course
of nature, which expelled the matter,
being the cause of her sickness," yet,
"by the counsel and confederacy of Dr.
Bockling and Richard Masters," she did
"falsely practise, use, and show unto the
people diverse and miraculous sundry
alterations of her sensible parts of her
body, craftily uttering in her said
feigned and false trances divers and
many virtuous and holy words tending
to the rebuke of sin, and in reproving of
such new opinions as then began to
spring in this realm." By these arts she
was made the instrument of stirring the
people of England against the divorce
of Catherine by Henry. The .chapel of
Aldington became the centre of many

"injurious is the gift that takes away freedom."

pilgrimages, and the scene of many excited and
tumultuous assemblies. Here she would be brought,
and in an apparent state of trance went through the
facial contortions she could not helpin her sickness,
and spoke words professing to be inspired of God,
while they were the coachings of her fellow-con-
spirators. On one occasion more than 2,000 persons
repaired to the chapel to witness her dissimulation.
She afterwards became a nun in the priory of St.
Sepulchre^nd continued in her pretended reception
of revelation from God. By her cloaked hypocrisy,
she was reputed amongst many people of the realm
to be a very holy woman, inspired by God, when, in
fact, she never had vision or revelation, as she sub-
sequently op.n'y
confessed herself.
She professed to see
letters written in
characters of gold,
sent to her by Mary
Magdalene, which
contained both re-
velations and ex-
hortations. When
the king was at
Calais, attending
the Mass of the
Blessed Sacrament,
she professed to
have seen the Sac-
rament taken away
from the priest by
an angel, and ad-
ministered unto
iierself. Elizabeth
affected to have
communication
with God on the
subject of the di-
vorce of Catherine
—she asked " of Al-
mighty God to know
whether God was
displeased with the
King's Highnessfor
proceeding in the
said divorce and
separation of the
marriage between
his Highness and
the said Lady Cathe-
rine." She professed
to h ave hadre vealed
to her inanswer
that God was highly
displeased with his
Majesty, and in case
he desisted not from
his proceedings in
" the said divorce
and separation, but
pursued the same
and married again,
that then within
one month after
such marriage he
should no longer be
king of this realm,
and in the reputa-
tion of Almighty
God should not be

a king one day, nor one hour— that he should die a
villain's death." The revelation had further in-
formed Elizabeth that there was a root with three
branches, and till they were plucked up it should
never be merry in England. The root was supposed
to be the late Lord Cardinal, the first branch the
king, the second the Duke of Norfolk, and the third
the Duke of Suffolk. This insidious conspiracy
against the king grew to such proportions that his
Majesty's wrath was aroused. Elizabeth Barton and
her confederates were relegated to the Star Cham-
ber, where, before the King's Council, they confessed
their hypocrisy and dissimulated sanctity, and trai-
torous purposes and intents. They were adjudged
to stand at St. Paul's Cross, where each of them
should declare their subtle, crafty, and superstitious
doings. This they did upon the following Sunday ;
but for the treason they had committed, the matter

was respited to the Parliament next following,where
all of them were attainted by Act of Parliament,
and were sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and
quartered at Tyburn. The sentence was carried
into effect on the 21st of April, 1533. Elizabeth
Barton had previously given utterance to the fol-
lowing words:—" Hither am I come to die, and I have
not been the only cause of mine own death, which
most justly I have deserved; but also I am the
cause of the death of all these persons, which at this
time here suffer; and yet, to say the truth, I am
not so much to be blamed, considering that it was
known unto these learned men that I was a poor
wench without learning, and therefore they might
have safely per-
ceived that the
things that were
done by me could
not proceed in no
such sort ; but their
capacities and learn-
ing could right well
judge from whence
they proceeded, and
that they were al-
together feigned ;
but because the
things which I
feigned were pro-
fitable unto them,
therefore they
much praised me,
and bare me in hand
that it was the Holy
Ghost and not I that
did them ; and then
I, being puffed up
with their praises,
fell into a certain
pride and foolish
phantasy with my-
self, and thought I
might feign what I
would, which thing
hath brought me to
this case, and for
the which now I cry
God and the King's
Highness most
heartily mercy, and
desire all you good
people to pray to
God to have mercy
on me, and on all
them that here suf-
fer with me."

CLOCK TOYVEK, LEICESTER

LEICESTER.

Few towns have
such an interesting
ancient history as
the capital of Lei-
cestershire, a con-
spicuous object in
which is illustrated
on this page. The
Roman history of
the place is remark-
able. It was founded, it is said, by the King Lear
of Shakespeare; it formed one of the five Danish
burghs or commonwealths. A Parliament was held
there in the reign of Henry VI; and Richard III.,
defeated and killed at Bosworth, was buried in a
Franciscan convent which then stood near St. Mar-
tin's Church. At one time the town was fortified,
and had a strong castle. The town is a very hand-
some one. The great increase of Leicester in recent
times is chiefly due to the hosiery trade. For two
centuries this has been almost entirely concen-
trated about Chesterfield and Market Harborough,
Ashby-de-la-Zouche and Newark, Leicester being
the centre of the woollen trade as Nottingham is of
the silk, cotton, and merino. Hand-knitting was an
important industry here in the latter part of the
sixteenth century, and the stocking knitting-frame
was introduced into Leicester soon afterwards.

THE late Mr. S. Hubert Burke says, in
his entertaining " Historical Por-
traits of the Tudor Dynasty," that the
private lives of the Plantagenets furnish
materials for the most romantic narra-
tives, of which readers of history know
but little. The love-affairs of the Tudor
family never ran in a straight or smooth
channel. Our illustration gives a love-
scene of Queen Elizabeth's at Green-
wich Palace. The Duke of Anjou,
through his first messenger Sirnier, was
a suitor for Elizabeth ; and the queen,
after some refusals, consented to re-
ceive Simier, provided he came without
parade and kept secret the object of his
mission. The messenger's bearing made
a great impression upon her Majesty ;
in fact, he became her favourite, and
she never seemed so cheerful and so
happy as when in his society. After the
lapse of some time, and when the queen
was pressed for an answer, she replied
that she could not make up her mind to
marry one whom she had never seen.
Anjou thereupon travelled in disguise,
and arrived at Greenwich Palace in Sep-
tember, 1578. Elizabeth was enraptured
with her new lover, who was introduced
to her by Lady Leighton, and only a few
days of private courtship, conducted in
" the most delicate and loving manner,"
sufficed to render him happy with the
assurances of a speedy union. Upon
Anjou taking leave, the queen burst into
tears and kissed the prince several times.
When Anjou returned to London, there
had been intrigues and cabals at work
to frustrate the marriage, but it was on
this visit that the incident of our illus-
tration occurred. On the 22nd of .Novem-
ber, 1581, the queen settled down for the
winter at Greenwich Palace. She was
taking her morning walk in the gallery

"lies and gossip have a wretched offspring."

with Anjou by her side, and Leicester and Walsing-
hain a distance behind, when suddenly the French
ambassador was introduced. After some prelimi-
nary conversation, the queen addressed the French
envoy in these words : — ° Write to your royal master
that the duke (Anjou) will be my husband." With
a sudden impulse she turned upon the prince, kissed
him, took a ring from her finger and placed it on
his hand. She then sent for the ladies and gentle-
men of her household, and presented Anjou to them
as their future master, the " husband whom she
loved." Couriers were despatched to Paris with the
news, Parliament was summoned, and all was to be
finally settled in a few weeks. The queen, however,
was only playing a deceptive game, and when this
had gone so far, her ingenuity was taxed to set
Anjou aside without insulting him. In public
Elizabeth affected the deepest sorrow at Anjou's
departure, whilst privately she danced for joy ; but
Anjou was made 'acquainted with the deception
being practised upon him. On some occasions
Elizabeth assured her courtiers that her love for
the French prince could never change, at another
time that she could not marry a Catholic. One day,
in a fit of passion, she swore she would not be
Anjou's wife if it would make her empress of the
universe. Anjou, on the other hand, professed a
passionate and noble love for the Queen of England,
and burst into tears. The fickle queen dried his
tears. On a subsequent occasion she kissed him
before the whole congregation in St. Paul's Cathe-
dral, and whilst the clergy were engaged in Divine
service. Later, on the anniversary of her corona-
tion, she placed a ring on Anjou's finger, and from
that time, Camden says, the prince was looked upon
as her betrothed husband. On New Year's Day,
after a tournament at which Anjou had exerted
himself, the queen ran to him, kissed him repeatedly
before the people, and subsequently led him by the
hand to his bedchamber, that he might repose for
awhile ; and on the next morning her Majesty, ac-
companied by one of her ladies, visited him before
he left his bed, and made inquiries as to " a good
night's rest." Ultimately, however, the engage-
ment ended like so many others. The Fates seemed
to have conspired against any match for Golden
Eliza, who continued to be content with the
romantic title of the " Virgin Queen."

QUEEN VICTORIA.
(24) Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Queen of
Great Britain and Ireland, and Empress of India,
to-day completes her 68th year, and on the 20th of
next month will complete the jubilee of her bene-
ficent reign. Her age has been exceeded by six only
of the Sovereigns of England, namely, Queen Eliza-
beth, who attained the age of 69 years ; James II.,
who lived 68 years ; George II., 77 years ; George III.,
82 years : George IV., 68 years ; and William IV., 72
years. Her Majesty succeeded to the Throne on the
20th of June, 1837, on the death of her uncle, King
William IV., and she will consequently complete
the fiftieth year of her reign on that day. This
length of reign has been exceeded by two only of
the Monarchs of England— viz., Henry III. and
George III., the former of whom reigned fifty-six
vears, and the latter for the long period of nearly
sixty years. An extraordinary Gazette was issued
on the 20th of June, 1837, announcing the death of
William IV., in the following terms :—

" Windsor Castle, Tuesday, June 20th.

" It has pleased Almighty God to release from his
sufferings our Most Excellent and Gracious Sove-
reign, King William IV.

" His Majesty expired at twelve minutes past two
o'clock this day."

As it is a recognised maxim in England that " the
King never dies," the time of the decease of King
William IV. was also that of the accession to the
Throne of Queen Alexandrina Victoria, or, as she
was afterwards designated, Queen Victoria. The

declaration made by the young Queen on entering
upon the responsibilities of her high position shows
the high estimate she had formed of the duties of
the Sovereign of these realms, and her spirit of
devotion to the welfare of the people ovor whom
she was called to rule. " This awful responsibility,"
she said, " is imposed upon me so suddenly, and at
so early a period of my life, that I should feel my-
self utterly oppressed by the burden were I not
sustained by the hope that Divine Providence,
which has called me to this work, will give me
strength for the performance of it, and that I shall
find, in the purity of my intentions and in my zeal
for the public welfare, that support and those re-
sources which usually belong to a more mature age
and to longer experience." Forty-nine years have
gone by since these words were penned, yet who
to-day can doubt either the purity of the inten-
tions or the zeal for the public welfare, which,
through a long and beneficent reign, have been dis-
played by Her ^Majesty the Queen? "I place my
firm reliance," wrote Her Majesty, "upon the
wisdom of Parliament, and upon the loyalty and
affection of my people." The English people are
never likely to forget the one great private sor-
row of Her Majesty's reign, which was likewise
its greatest public calamity. Prince Albert was
no common man, just as he was no common
husband. He was the highest possible type at once
of the perfect domestic character and the far-seeing
intelligent statesman. The deep love with which
his beautiful and tender nature had inspired the
wife, was heightened by the lofty reverence the
Sovereign was compelled to feel for his cultivated
and penetrating intellect, coupled with the con-
scientious and self-obliterating assiduity he
brought to every task of fetate. By the premature
death of the Prince Consort the Queen lost, at one
blow, the closest friend and the most trusty coun-
sellor. It was natural that the woman's nature
should he utterly unstrung by so absolute and
crushing a bereavement, nor could the anguish be
dissembled because the grieving widow happened
to be the occupant of a throne. All these feelings
and circumstances the English people well under-
stood ; and greatly as they regretted to be deprived
of the constant presence of a Sovereign they loved
and honoured so completely, they continued to
make every allowance for a sentiment that, where-
ever displayed or in whatever walk of life, does
honour to human nature. Her Majesty, however,
has recently emerged from her retirement, to the
satisfaction of that human nature which craves for
some visible sign of the existence of things it
reverences and worships. No doubt the mere word
monarchy has considerable power over the English
people, for it represents the history, the grandeur,
the order, the continuity of the past. But the
champions of monarchy wish ever and again to see
the Monarch. The Crown is yet a phrase to conjure
with ; but it is the wearer of the Crown that reigns
in the hearts of the English people. Nor is it any
exaggeration to say that, of all the Sovereigns that
have sat upon the EngLish Throne, none have been
so uniformly popular and so universally beloved as
Queen Victoria. Now the nation is celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of her accession. In half a
century a M< narch has abundant opportunities of
offending the sentiment, of coming into conflict
with the interests of the nation ; and even an able,
victorious, and popular King like Edward III. did
not escape some eclipse of the favour in which he
had been held by his subjects. But at no moment
has the tie of confidence and affection between the
Crown and the nation been overclouded during the
present reign. As we have said, only a great per-
sonal sorrow has darkened that long and otherwise
happy era. The scrupulous observance by the
Queen of her c> institutional obligations has never
been interrupted. The Queen has never been for a
party. She has always been for the State. What-
ever may be her private and personal opinion as to
the wisdom or folly of this or that public measure,
the has never given expression to it ; and legisla-
tion which, perhaps, the community now sees to
have been hasty and unwise, has promptly received
her sanction after being passed by the two Houses
of Parliament.

APPIUS CLAUDIUS was the most in-
fluential member of the Decemviri
of Rome. The Decemviri was a famous
body composed of ten patrician law-
givers, who were deputed to draw up a
code of laws for Rome upon the basis of
information collected by a commission
in Greece. A dispute had arisen between
the Plebeians and the Patricians as to
the constitution of the council of law-
givers, but the latter had prevailed, and
they were entrusted with the govern-
ment of the State during the year they
held office. A succeeding Decemviri,
however, among the members of which
was only one of the previous council —
viz., Appius Claudius— conducted them-
selves with marked tyranny. Every
species of outrage, notably by the noto-
rious Appius, was committed upon the
Plebeians, and such a despotic altitude
did the Decemviri assume that they re-
fused to retire when the peiiod of their
office had closed, and they defied the re-
election of successors. It was in this
state of public feeling that the life of
the beauteous Virginia was sacrificed,
ere her honour could be outraged by the
brutal Appius Claudius. He had long
cast envious eyes upon the maiden, who
was the daughter of a Plebeian leader,
and in order to obtain possession of her
he induced Marcus Claudius, one of his
clients to declare that she was his slave.
A mock trial took place in the Forum
before a large concourse of people. The
judge was Appius Claudius, who, by his
verdict, adjudged Virginia to the plain-
tiff. Outraged at the result, the father
rushed to the front, and plunging a
knife into his daughter's heart, saved
her from dishonour. This sacrifice of

" LITTLE AND OFTEN MAKES A HEAP IN TIME."

Virginia still further excited the Plebeians, who
triumphed in the deposition of the Decemviri, and re-
established the old constitution. Applets Claudius
died in prison by his own hand, or was strangled by
order of the Tribunes, and Marcus Claudius was
banished.

RUGBY SCHOOL.

The school buildings at Rugby form a very striking
group, and although there may be architectural
defects, yet their situ-
ation and their memo-
ries are great substi-
tutes for elaborate
and perfect design.
The effect from the
close, where huge
elms cast their
shadows over the
greensward , and alter-
nately mask or dis-
close the various por-
tions of the struc-
tures, is one of no
little beauty. There
is not at Rugby either
the park-like scenery
of the playing-fields
by the strong stream
of the Thames, or the
antique courts of
Winchester. We have
not the picturesque
clustering of the
buildings on the hill
of Harrow, nor their
wide outlook over a
broad valley and the
margin of a great me-
tropolis. At Rugby all
is of the present cen-
tury as regards the
buildings — all is of
the quiet and homely
Midlands as regards
the scenery. There is,
nevertheless, much
quiet beauty among
its shady lanes and
its gently sloping pas-
tures ; and the school
is a standing memo-
rial of what can be
done by one strong
man without the pres-
tige of an ancient
name or of a titled
founder— without the
genius loci of buildings
three centuries old, or
of a long line of dis-
tinguished scholars.

bers among its old

M. Waddington, Sir Richard Temple, Sir Thomas
Brassey, Sir R. A. Cross, &c. &c.

The history of the town of Rugby is not remark-
able. Before the days of the Norman Conquest we
hear nothing of it. At that time it was a small
village, which appears in Domesday Book under
the name of Rocheberie, which is held by Dugdale
to be derived from roche, a rock or stone quarry,
and berie, a court or house of importance. At this
period it belonged to Turchill of Warwick. There
was a castle on a rising ground close to the town,
which still bears the name of Castle Mount. Dug-

dale is of opinion that this castle is one of those
erected by King Stephen in order to maintain him-
self against the Empress Maud, and that it was de-
molished in the following reign. At any rate it
makes no figure in history, and all traces of it have
disappeared. The family to whom the manor bo-
longed wrote their name as Rokeby, one of the
forms under which the place i6 designated. The
house of Rokeby became extinct in the male lino in
the reign of Edward I. By Leland, in the time of
Henry VIII., Rugby (so called for the first time) is
only casually mentioned as a small market town;
indeed, even in the
clays of Lawrence
Sheriffe, the founder
of- the school, the
number of its inhabit-
ants would hardly
have entitled it to the
appellation of more
than a village.

MONT C^NIS.

(15) Nearly twenty
years ago one of the
greatest triumphs of
engineering skill was
consummated by the
opening of this rail-
way through the Alps.
Mont Ceius is a pass
of the Cottian Alps,
between Savoy and
Piedmont, the highest
point of which is 6,775
feet above the level
of the sea. The pass
was used from the
earliest times ; but
the road was bad and
dangerous. In 1810 an
excellent road, begun
by the orders of Bona-
parte in 1803, was com-
pleted at an expense
of £300,COO. By this
Napoleon III. sent his
troops into Italy in
his campaign against
Austria in 1859. The
most remarkable tun-
nel in the world is
that of Mont Cenis.
It is fully 7£ miles
long. It was con-
structed as an experi-
mental line at a cost
of £8,000 per mile by
Mr. Fell, upon a prin-
ciple patented nearly
fifty years before by
Mr. Vignolles and Mr.
Ericsson, and first
tried ontheCromford
and High Peak hue in
England. The chief
features of this plan
are horizontal wheels,
which, when the break
rail, and thus enable

is applied, grasp a central
trains to traverse curves of 135 feet radius, and to
ascend and descend with safety gradients of one in
fifteen, and even one in twelve. From Lanslebourg,
where the pass properly begins, the line climbed on
the outer edge of Napoleon's road in six sweeping
zigzags with a gradient of one in fifteen to one in
twelve and a half to the top, a distance of six miles
and a third, and a height of 2,240 feet. On the side
of Italy it descended 5,211 feet to Susa, curling in
its course like a serpent. The maximum speed here
allowed was fifteen miles an hour, but with the
central line brakes moderately applied, the train
ran easily down the steep and circuitous incline.
The carriages were on the American model, with en-
trance behind and seats arranged in the omnibus
fashion, and each had a guard and two breaks.

THE charming river Bidassoa, which
forms part of the boundary between
France and Spain, was the scene of one
of the most memorable incidents of the
Peninsular campaign. The river rises
in Spain, and flowing south-west by
north, enters the Bay of Biscay. At
every bend in the river the road along
its banks brings the traveller suddenly
on some new and striking feature. The
pleasing combination of wood and rock,
overhanging the beautifully winding
stream, contrasted with the barren gran-
deur of the mountain summits which
tower above them, present an infinitude
of delightful prospects. The oak, the
chestnut, and the walnut are the most
conspicuous trees along the valley and
the slopes of the inferior hills, whilst
among the crevices of the rocks the
evergreen box tree grows with surpris-
ing luxuriance, and by its deep verdure
relieves, while it contrasts in a very
charming manner with the bright silver
tints of the surrounding rocks clothed
with lichens. Fuenterrabia is situate
at the mouth of the river. It is a
thoroughly old Spanish town, full of
picturesque characters, fallen ramparts
and grand houses, half-ruined, cele-
brated by Milton in connection with
"the dolorous rout" of Roncesvalles,
which is forty miles distant. In former
times it was a strong frontier fortress.
It was here the Prince of Oonde was re-
pulsed in 1638. The river widens below
the bridge into a tidal rio or estuary.
It was also on the island, at the mouth
of the Bidassoa, that the Treaty of the
Pyrenees was concluded in 1659. The
episode represented in our illustration
occurred in the year 1813, when, after
the victory at Vittoria, the British army
under Wellington drove the French

"little children and headaches, great children and heartaches."

across tht Pyrenees into their own country- It is I
unnecessary here to enter into the origin of the
Peninsular*War. That is told succinctly enough in
Mr. H. R. Clinton's History (the Chantlos Classics).
Suffice it to describe Wellington's feat at this his-
torical embouchure in the teeth of the French array,
a feat which has been fitly described as one of the
most daring of military exploits. The French occu-
pied the strongly fortified position on the dizzy
heights of theimmense mountain group, the Rhune,
the Commissari, and the Bayonette, on the right
bank of the river ; the bridges were broken down,
and every known ford was commanded by cannon,
leaving Soult in security from an attack, save in the
upper course of the river. The French line of en-
trenchments had been strengthened on the most
vulnerable points by abattis, or
breastworks formed of felled
trees, and the softer twigs being
cut off, laid side by side
with the branc'
towards tli

such speed
that their
reserves could not
be brought into
action in time. By
this skilful combination
the river road from Irun
to Vera would be gained,
and the fort of Fuenterrabia must
necessarily fall into the hands
of the allies. All the prepara-
tions were made with secrecy. The Duke had
ascertained -from some Basque fishermen the ex-
istence of a ford close to the sea, nearly opposite
Fuenterrabia, practicable only for three or four
hours at neap tides, but at other times covered with
sixteen feet of water. These fishermen fixed the
marks for Wellington's purpose, and their move-
ments in doing so were mistaken by Soult for their
ordinary avocations. Wellington marched his
columns unseen behind the hills on the left bank
during the night of the 6th— 7th of October, and
under the cover of a thunderstorm he placed guns
and howitzers on the St. Marcial ridge. Several
feints had been made to mislead Soult as to the real
point of attack, and the French continued busy with
their entrenchments. The tents were left in statu
quo, no change was visible in the disposition of the
allies till, on a rocket being sent up from the steeple
of Fuenterrabia as the signal at seven o'clock on
the morning of the 7th, the British troops were seen
to emerge seven columns at once on a line of five
miles, the lowest winding like serpents across the
wet sands to the several points of passage. So un-
expected was the movement that the passage was
completed, and the allies' lines were drawn up on the

INVERNESS CATHEDRAL.

French side of the Bidassoa before a single French
gun was flred. Soult was absent at Espelette; the
sound of the heavy cannonade roused him to the
point of real attack, and he hurried back to repulse
it; hut before his arrival the encampments on the
Bidassoa were lost. The first division, says the
writer already referrer 1 to, drove back the enemy's
right to the Croix des Bouquets heights ; these, the
key of tho position, were won by a furious charge of
the 9th Regiment. The entrenchment above Biriatu
Was defended successfully in front, but its left was
turned by Freyre's Spaniards, the Mandate moun-
tain was carried, and now Koille's corps, thrown
into disorder along its whole lino, fell hack by the
royal road of Bayonne with the loss of 400 men and
eight guns. The allies in this conflict lost 600 men,
half of them Spaniards. Clau-
sel's divisions were equally sur-
prised in the second combat of
Vera, while the boar's
Rock, an isolated ridge,
was simultaneously as-
sailed at both ends
when the rocket
appeared, and,
w hen the
ridge was
won, a con-
centric
movement
was made
upon the re-
doubt on the
higher range
behind. The
shouts of
the combat-
ants, the rat-
tle of mus-
ketry, and
all the con-
fusion of
warlike
struggle, re-
echoed in
the wooded
hollows, and
the white
wreaths of
smoke veil-
ed as with
mist the
hills around.
Very soon
the riflemen
issued from the
forest recesses out
upon the open
slopes, and closed upon
the redoubts : but the
French rushed out, and
with a rough sally scattered tliem.
The invincible 52nd Regiment,
however, were at that instant in
full career, seeing which, the French turned and
ran back in a mob to the redoubt. With them
entered the gallant 52nd, the riflemen rallied, and in
a few minutes the French, driven out, sought refuge
in the second entrenchment. Oolborne next carried
this ; but a heavy fire was carried on upon the crest
of the Bayonette mountain, lasting five hours. At
the expiration of this desperate struggle three
ridges were carried— the Bayonette, Commissari,
and Puerto de Vera. The great Rhune mountain
was the next shelter for the French. Night fell
with the Rhune still in Clausel's possession. In
consequence, the possession of the line was deemed
by Wellington insecure, so on the following day, the
8th of October, he ordered a combined attack upon
the left flank of the mountain, which was accessible,
and upon the camp of Sarre. Fearing to be cut off,
Clausel concentrated on the ridge behind Sarre, but
leaving his right on the lesser Rhune, and two regi-
ments on the Hermitage rock. The latter were afraid
of being isolated, and they abandoned the position.
Operations closed on the following day with a total
loss to the French in the actions comprised in the
passage of the Bidassoa of 1,400. The allies' loss was
greater, viz., 1,600, half of whom were Spaniards.

THERE is an old letter in manuscript,
which is accounted one of the
choicest treasures in the Queen's Library
at Oxford, which sets forth an account,
ex parte perhaps, but nevertheless what
has been regarded as a generally fair
statement regarding one of the bloodiest
mortal combats which ever engaged a
couple of English gentlemen in the his-
tory of this country. It was the duel
between Edward Sackvii.le, after-
wards Earl of Dorset, and Lord Bruce,
whic • took place betwixt Antwerp and
Bergenopzoom in Zealand, and was the
cause of some commotion at the time.
Sir Richard Steele.in The Guardian of the
period, gave a dissertation on duelling,
and embodied the following documents,
which led to the encounter above illus-
trated :— (l) " To Sir Edward Sack-
ville,— I, that am in France, hear how
much you attribute to yourself in this
trial, that I have given the world leave to
ring your praises. If you call to memory,
when I gave you my hand last, I told you
I reserved the heart for a truer reconcilia-
tion. Now be that noble gentleman my
lord once spoke you, and come and do
him right that could recite the trials
you owe your birth and country, were I
not confident your honour gives you the
same courage to do me right that it did
to do me wrong. Be master of your own
weapons and time ; the place whereso-
ever I will wait on you. By doing this
you will shorten revenge, and clear the
idle opinion the world hath of both our
works.— Ed. Bruce." (2) "To Lord
Bruce,— As it shall be always far from
me to seek a quarrel, so will I always be
ready to meet with any that desire to
make a trial of my valour by so fair a
course as you require. A witness whereof
yourself shall be, who within a month

"fools grow without watering."

shall receive a strict account of time, place, and
weapon, where you shall And me ready disposed to
give you honourable satisfaction by him that shall
conduct you thither. In the meantime, be as secret
of the appointment as it seems you are desirous of
it— Ed. Sackville." (3) " To Loud Bruce— I am
ready at Tergoso, a town in Zealand, to give you
that satisfaction your sword can render you, accom-
panied by a worthy gentleman for my second, in
degree a knight; and for your coming I will not
limit you a peremptory day, but desire you to make
a definite and speedy repair for your own honour
and fear of prevention, until which time you shall
tind me there.— Ed. Sackville... Tergoso, 10th Au-
gust, 1613." (4) "To Sib E. Sackville,— I have
received your letter by your man, and acknow-
ledge vou have dealt nobly with me, and now I come
with all possible speed, to meet you.— Ed. Bruce."
The document at Oxford before alluded to is an
elaborate one, and although from it the cause of
the quarrel does not appear, yet it sufficiently war-
rants the observation by Steele, that " the gallant
behaviour of the combatants may serve to raise
in our minds a yet higher detestation of that false
honour which robs our country of men so fitted to
adorn it." The gist of Sir Edward Sackville' s rela-
tion of the fight we summarise :—" The enclosed
contains the first citation (the challenge numbered 1
given above) sent me from Paris by a Scotch gen-
tleman, who delivered it tome in Derbyshire. After
it follows my answer (No. 2), returned by the same
bearer. The next is my accomplishment of my
first promise (No. 3), which I sent by a servant of
mine, by post from Rotterdam, as soon as I landed
there, the receipt of which, 'joined with an acknow-
ledgment of my two-pair carriage to the deceased
lord,' is testified by the las* (No. 4), which ter-
minates the business till we meet at Tergoso, in
Zealand, where he, accompanied with one Mr. Craw-
ford, an English gentleman, for his second, a sur-
geon, and a man, arrived with all the speed he
could. I addressed my second, Sir John Heidon,
to let him understand that now all following
should be done by consent, as concerning the terms
whereon we shoufd fight, as also the place. To our
seconds we gave power of our appointment, who
agreed we should go to Antwerp, from thence to
Borgenopzoom, where in the midway but a village
divides the State's territory from the Arch-Duke's.
And there was the destined stage, ' to the end that
having ended, he that could might presently exempt
himself from the justice of the country by retiring
into" the dominion not offended.' It was further
concluded, that in case any should fall or slip, that
then the combat should cease, and he whose ill-
fortune had so subjected him was to acknowledge
his life to have been in the other's hands. Other
preliminaries having been arranged. Lord Bruce,
past expectation, told Sir John Heidon that he
found himself so far behind-hand that a little of
my blood would not serve his turn, and therefore
he* was resolved to have me alone, because he knew
that so worthy a gentleman, and my friend, could
not endure to stand by and see him do that which
he must to satisfy himself and his honour. Sir
John Heidon replied that such intentions were
bloody and butcherly, far unfitting so noble a per-
sonage, who should desire to bleed for reputation,
not for life, adding, he thought himself injured,
having come so far, to be prohibited executing
those honourable offices he came for. Lord Bruce
answered by reiterating his former resolutions,
whereupon Sir John, leaving him the sword he had
selected, delivered me the other, with his deter-
minations. We rode to the place of assignation,
I being verily mad with anger that Lord Bruce
should thirst after my life with a kind of assured-
ness, seeing I had come so far, and needlessly, to
give him leave to regain his lost reputation. I bade
him alight, which with all willingness he quickly
granted. There, in a meadow ankle-deep in water,
at the least bidding farewell to our doublets, in our
shirts we began to charge each other, having pre-
viously commanded our surgeons to withdraw
themselves a distance from us, conjuring them,
besides, as they respected our favours or their own
safety, not to stir, but suffer us to execute our
pleasure. We being fully resolved (God forgive us)
to despatch each other by what means we could, I

made thrust at my enemy, but was short, and in
drawing back my arm I received a great wound
thereon, which 1 interpreted as a reward for my
short shooting ; but in revenge I pressed into him,
though I then missed him also, and then received
a "wound in my right breast, which passed level
through my body and almost to my back. And
there we wrestled for the two greatest and dearest
prizes we could ever expect trial for— honour and
life ; in which struggling my hand, having but an
ordinary glove on it, lost one of her servants,
though the meanest, which hung by a skin, and to
sight yet remaiueth as before, and I am put in
hope one clay to recover the use of it again. But at
last breathless, yet keeping our holds, there passed
on both sides propositions of quitting each other's
swords. But when amity was dead confidence could
not live, and who should quit first was the ques-
tion, which on neither part either would perform,
and re-striving again afresh, with a kick and a
wrench together, I freed my long-captivated weapon,
which incontin'ently levying at his throat, being
still master of his, I demanded if he would ask his
life or yield his sword, both which, though in that
imminent danger, he bravely refused to do. Myself
being wounded and feeling loss of blood, having
three conduits running on me, began to make me
faint, and he courageously persisting not to accord
to either of my propositions, remembrance of his
former bloody desire and feeling of my present
estate, I struck at his heart, but with his avoiding
missed my aim, yet passed through the body, and
drawing through my sword, re-passed it through
again, through another place. He cried, ' Oh, I'm
slain 1' seconding his speech with all the force he
had to east me. But being too weak, after 1 had
defended his assault, I easily became master of
him, laying him on his back. Being upon him, I
re-demanded if he would request his life, but it
seems he prized it not at so dear a rate to be be-
holden for it, bravely replying he scorned it. This
answer of his was so noble and worthy that I pro-
test I could not find in my heart to offer him any
more violence, only keeping him down, till at length
his surgeon, afar off, cried he would immediately
die if his wounds were not stopped. At this I
asked him if he desired his surgeon to come, which
he did, and so being drawn away, I never offered to
take his sword, accounting it inhuman to rob a
dead man, for so I accounted him to be. This then
ended, I retired to my surgeon, in whose arms,
after I had remained awhile for want of blood, I
lost my sight, and, as I then thought, my life also.
But strong water and his diligence quickly re-
covered me, when I escaped a great danger; for
my lord's surgeon, when nobody dreamt of it, came
full at me with his lord's sword, and had not mine
with my sword interposed himself, I had been slain
by those base hands, although my Lord Bruce wel-
tering in his blood and past all expectation of life,
conformable to all his former carriage, which was
undoubtedly noble, cried out, 'Rascal, hold thy
hand ! ' " Such is the narration, dated Louvain, Sep-
tember 8th, 1613, In which the writer concludes :—
" So may I prosper, as I have dealt sincerely with
you in this relation, which I pray you, with the en-
closed letter, deliver to my Lord Cliamberlstin."
Lord Sackville was but in his twenty-third year at
the time of the above encounter, and we learn from
Lord Clarendon that this was not the only quarrel
of the kind into which he was drawn through the
excessive heat and fire of his temper. He was in
great favour at Court, and at the creation of Charles,
Prince of Wales (afterwards Charles I.), on the 4th
November, 1616, he was made one of the Knights of
the Bath to grace that solemnity. He was also one
of the commanders of the forces sent in 1620 to
arrest Frederick, King of Bohemia, at which time
was fought the battle of Prague ; he succeeded
Lord Herbert of Cherbourg as ambassador to the
French king, and was afterwards called by King
James I. to the Privy Council. He became a leading
member of the House of Commons, and shone in
the House of Peers. After the accession of Charles
I. he was at the head of all national affairs con-
ducive to the interest of the country. He was con-
spicuous in the Rebellion, leading on the Royalist
troops when they re-took the royal standard at
Edgehill.

IT was towards the latter end of the
year 1809 that Napoleon's manner
was observed to have changed to a very
great degree towards the Ejiprbss
Josephine. On their return, after the
campaign, to France— Napoleon from
SchOnbrunn, and Josephine from Stras-
burg— the empress was alarmed at the
circumstance of the private communi-
cation between her room and the em-
peror's having been shut up. An altera-
tion in the features of Josephine, and a
silent reserve on the part of the em-
peror, also made it apparent that there
was a change, and the explanation was
arrived at on the 30th of November.
Dinner had been served as usual; Jose-
phine had a large hat tied under her
chin, which hid her face in part, but she
seemed to have been weeping, and still
had some difficulty to restrain her tears.
She was the picture of grief. Neither
party spoke during dinner, nor touched
anything but for form's sake. Having
asked what time it was, Napoleon rose,
and Josephine slowly followed him.
Coffee was presented to him, and he
made a sign to the attendants to retire.
The chief of these (M. de Bausset) had
hardly got out of the room when all of a
sudden he heard violent cries uttered by
the empress. Napoleon, appearing at the
door, said eagerly, "Come in, Bausset,
and close the door." The empress was
stretched on the floor, venting the most
piteous complaints, and saying, " No, I
shall never survive it." At the desire
of Napoleon, the attendants conveyed
Josephine to her room. Napoleon re-
tired to an ante-room, and in his ex-
treme agitation and distress of mind
told the cause of what had happened,

BE TRULY WHAT THOU WOULDST BE THOUGHT TO BE.

thus :— " The interest of France, and of my dynasty,
has done a violence to ray heart. The divorce has
become an imperious duty upon nie. I am so much
the more hurt at the scene which Josephino has just
exhibited, because three dayB ago she ought to have
learnt from Hortense the melancholy obligation
which compels me to separate from her. I am
grieved to the heart for her. I thought she had
more firmness, and was not prepared for this excess
of her sorrow." Josephine at this time was six-and-
forty, and she descended from the height to which
she had been raised with calmness and dignity, and
retired into private life, where she continued to
retain the rank and magnificence of an Empress-
Dowager. The " consideration " of the most advan-
tageous matrimonial alliance for Napoleon was
made by the Council soon after the divorce of
Josephine was declared, and the Arch-Duchess
Maria Louisa of Austria was the selected one. The
necessarv consent having been obtained, the for-
malities for the marriage ceremony were arranged.
It was celebrated in the presence of "all that was
most distinguished in Prance or nearly in Europe,"
and on the 27th of April the Emperor and Empress
set out on a tour through the Northern Departments,
to give the good city of Paris time to breathe.
Dances, garlands of flowers, and triumphal arches
welcomed them ail the way. On their return, in June,
the rejoicings were renewed, and it is this period
which leads us up to our illustration. The Austrian
Ambassador, the Prince of Schwartzenburg, gave a
ball in honour of the event at the Austrian Embassy.
The ground floor of the ancient HSteldeMontesson,
which he occupied in the RueChauss6ed'Antin,was
not large enough to hold all the company invited.
The Prince therefore had a superb ball-room con-
structed of wood in the garden, with a gallery of
the same material leading to it, the ceilings of
which were covered with varnished paper, and
ornamented with paintings. The floors were con-
nected by planks of cross-timbers to the level
of the rooms of the house, and an immense chande-
lier was suspended from the ceiling of the ball-
room. Candles were also used in the illumination
of the walls of the gallery and ball-room. In the
centre of the
room was a
box reserv-
ed for the
Imperial
family. This
faced the en-
trance from
the gallery,
and there
was a pri-
vate door
close to it
for the use
of the Em-
peror and
Empress.
The fete
commenced
with danc-
ing in the
garden,
which was
splendidly
illuminated:
not so horri-
bly, though,
as it was de-
stined to be
during the
festival. The
dancing had
continued
about an
hour, wben
a current of
air blew one
of the cur-
tains at the
entrance to
the wooden
gallery a-
cross the
lighted can-

dles, which had been fixed too near. In a moment
the ceiling of the ball-room was in a blaze. The
Emperor and Empress escaped with ease from the
danger by the door which had been left behind their
box. He made the carriages draw up, saw the
Empress as far as the Place Louis XV. on her way
to St. Cloud, and returned to assist in extinguishing
the conflagration. The flames had made terrible pro-
gress ; tho chandeliers suspended from the ccutre
of the ball-room fell with a tremendous cra^h ; and
in the hurry and fright, the crowd pressing towards
the entrance stopped up the passage, and with this
collected weight the floor gave way, and numberless
victims were crushed to death, or enveloped in the
flames which burst out on all sides. The noise and
confusion in the garden was indescribable. Friends
were frantically seeking friends, while the different
members of a family were agonisingly calling to
one another. In a very short time— a briefer period
than it takes to recount the terrible story — the
temple of gaiety and enchantment was no more.
Nothing was left but blazing fragments and a
melancholy stupor, when suddenly a young woman,
handsome, elegantly dressed, and covered with
diamonds, rushed forward from the smoking rafters,
calling out for her children. The apparition vanished
as soon as it was seen. It was the Princess of
Schwartzenburg, who perished, while her young
family were assembled in the garden, and out of
reach of danger. Napoleon, by the directions he
gave, saved sevenal lives ; but Prince Schwartzen-
burg never recovered from tho effects of his loss.

LINDORK'S ABBEY.

LINDORE'S ABBEY,

The ruins of Lindore's Abbey are situate at the
north-east extremity of Newburgh, near the river
Tay, on a gentle rise, in the middle of a rich and ex-
tensive flat of clay land. The abbey was founded
by David, the Earl of Huntingdon, in the year 1178,
in memory of his taking Ptolemais in the Holy
Land. It was bestowed upon the monks of St. Bene-
dict, of the order of Tironensis, was dedicated to
the Virgin Mary and St. Andrew the Apostle, and

from grants
bestowed
upon it from
time to time
it came to
be one of the
most richly
endowed
monasteries
in the king-
dom. The
founder of it
died at Ge-
conlay, and
was buried
at Soltray in
theyearl219.
KingRobert
the Bruce
claimed the
Crown by
his mother,
daughter of
this earl, in
1218. St. Ber-
nard was the
founder of
the order at
T i r o n in
France, and,
in addition
to the rules
instituted
by St. Bene-
dict, added
new regula-
tions of his
own, requir-
ing the prac-
tice of vari-
ous indus-
tries within
the monas-
tery.

IT is often remarkable how "great
events from little causes spring," and
if that is the case with empires it is also
the case in the smaller social circles of
every-day life. But our illustration re-
presents a contretemps of a more than
usually extraordinary character, which
occurred at a royal ball at St. James's
Palace nearly a century ago, and which
was the direct outcome of some indis-
cretion at a regal dinner party. Perhaps
it may be as well to premise the record
of the occurrence by recalling an inci-
dent when the firmness and decision of
Pitt the younger's character was some-
what remarkably displayed. It was in
1788 when the mental malady of the king
incapacitated him from performing the
functions of royalty, and the kingdom
was thereupon struck with great con-
sternation. The first question brought
up by this event was, in whom the office
of regent was vested. The Prince of
"Wales being connected with the party
in opposition, it was contended by them
that the regency of course devolved
upon him ; whilst on the other hand
Mr. t'itt supported the doctrine that it
lay in the two remaining branches of
the Legislature to fill up the office as
taey should judge proper, admitting at
the same time that no other person but
the Prince could be thought of for the
post. By adopting this principle ho had
the good fortune to obtain the concur-
rence as well of those who were attached
to the popular part of the constitution
as of the King's friends, whose object
was to secure his return to power on the
cessation of his malady, and he was en-
abled to pass a Bill restricting the power
of the regent. The mention of Pitt's
name in the manner hereafter set forth

"believe a boaster as you would a liae.

was the cause of a duel and the occurrence at St.
James's Palace, which, somewhat elaborated, forms
one of Burke's aristocratic "anecdotes." In the
year 1784, when the Duke of York was in his twenty-
sixth year, Colonel Lennox was a guest at a dinner
party given by the Prince of Wales. During the
excitement of the evening the health of Mr. Pitt
was given by Colonel Lennox. This led to an angry
quarrel, whi'ch, however, was subsequently settled,
for the time at least. But the next day a report
was current that the Duke of York had spoken
harshly and unfavourably at his club of the con-
duct of Colonel Lennox, and had asserted that
terms had been applied to him to which no gentle-
man ought to submit. Colonel Lennox heard of
these assertions and insinuations, and lost no time
in demanding of the Duke of York, while on parade,
what were the words to which he, Colonel Lennox,
had submitted, and by whom they had been spoken.
The Duke of York replied by the peremptory com-
mand that the lieut.-colonel should return to his
post. Parade over, the duke sent- for Colonel
Lennox to the orderly-room, and, in the presence of
all the other officers, said that he desired to receive
no protection from his position as a prince or his
station as a commanding officer. His Royal High-
ness added : " When not on duty I wear a brown
coat, and have none of the paraphernalia of rank.
Neither the blood which is my boast, nor the posi-
tion which I hold in the army, shall exempt me
from any obligation which I may possibly owe as a
private gentleman." After this declaration, Colonel
Lennox sent a circular to the members of the club
at which the Duke of York had said he heard the
observations applied to Colonel Lennox. The cir-
cular was sent to each individual member, desiring
him " to let him know if he could recollect any ex-
pression to have been used in his (Colonel Len-
nox's) presence, which could bear the construction
put upon it by his Royal Highness ; and in such
case, to whom the expression was used." Colonel
Lennox did not receive any affirmative answer, nor
would the Duke of York offer any further explana-
tion, whereupon Colonel Lennox thought it impera-
tive that he should call upon his Royal Highness
for the satisfaction due from one gentleman to
another. The duke consented to the meeting, waiv-
ing all personal distinctions, and with Lord Rawdon
as his second, met Colonel Lennox, with Lord Win-
chelsea as his "friend." The following is the ac-
count by the two seconds of the meeting:— "In
consequence of a dispute already known to the
public, his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
attended bv Lord Rawdon and the Lieut.-Colonel
Lennox, accompanied by the Earl of Winchelsea,
met at Wimbledon Common. The ground was
measured at twelve paces, and both parties were to
fire at a signal agreed upon. The signal being
given, Lieut.-Colonel Lennox fired, and the ball
grazed his Royal Highness's curl ; the Duke of
York did not fire. Lieut.-Colonel Lennox observed
that his Royal Highness had not fired. Lord Raw-
don said it was not the duke's intention to fire ; his
Royal Highness had come out upon Lieut.-Colonel
Lennox's "desire to give him satisfaction, and had
no animosity against him. Lieut.-Colonel Lennox
pressed that the Duke of York should fire, which
was declined, upon a repetition of the reason. Lord
Winchelsea then went up to the Duke of York and
expressed his hope that his Royal Highness could
have no objection to say he considered Lieut.-
Colonel Lennox as a man of honour and courage.
His Royal Highness replied that he should say
nothing- he had come out to give Lieut.-Colonel
Lennox satisfaction, and did not mean to fire at
him ; if Lieut.-Colonel Lennox was not satisfied he
might fire again. Lieut.-Colonel Lennox said he
could not possibly fire again at the duke, as his
Royal Highness did not mean to fire at him. On this
both parties left the ground. The seconds think it
proper to add that both parties behaved with the
most perfect coolness and intrepidity." This affair
of honour was kept a great secret until it was over,
and after the lapse of three days, Colonel Lennox's
brother officers met on his requisition to deliberate
on the following question, which he had sub-
mitted :— " Whether he had behaved in the late dis-
pute as became a gentleman and an officer 1 " On the
: j ,0th of May the officers arrived at the following

decision :— "It is the opinion of the officers of tlic
Coldstream regiment that subsequent to the 15th of
May, the day of the meeting at the orderly-room,
Lieut.-Colonel Lennox has behaved with courage,
but from the peculiar difficulty of the situation, not
with judgment." Sir John Bernard Burke Bays this
was the first instance of a prince of the blood in
England being challenged by a subject. The case,
however, occurred in Prance only a few years
before, when the Prince do Conde fought an officer
of his own regiment. The occurrence was over-
looked by the king ; but the Prince of Wales could
not restrain his feelings, and the illustration above
exhibits one peculiar form in which he demonstrated
his resentment. The following is a copy of the
newspaper paragraph of the day, describing the
occurrence :—" Colonel Lennox, to the surprise of
every one, had appeared at the ball given at St.
James's on the king's birthday (1789). The colonel
stood up in the country dance with Lady Catherine
Barnard. The prince, who danced with his sister,
the Princess Royal, was so far down the set that the
colonel and Lady Catherine were the next couple.
The prince paused, looked at the colonel, took his
partner's hand, and led her to the bottom of the
dance. The Duke of Clarence followed his example,
but the Duke of York made no distinction between
the colonel and the other gentlemen of the party.
When the colonel and his partner had danced down
the set, the prince again took his sister's hand and
led her to a seat. Observing this, the queen ap-
proached, and said to the prince, ' You are heated,
sir, and tired. I had better leave the apartment
and put an end to the dance.' ' I am heated,' re-
plied the prince, 'and tired, not with dancing, but
with a portion of the company,' and emphatically
added, ' I certainly never will countenance an in-
sult offered to my family, however it may be re-
garded by others.' The prince's natural gallantry
next day offered the necessary apology to Lady
Catherine Barnard in the expression of regret that
he should have caused her a moment's embarrass-
ment" Colonel Lennox succeeded to the Dukedom
of Richmond in 1806, and died on the 28th of August,
1819.

INVERNESS.

Inverness is the capital of the northern High-
lands. Its situation on the river Ness, hard by the
confluence of that stream with the sea at the foot
of the hills, and on the margin of a fertile plain, has
long rendered it a place of importance, strategically
and commercially. In ancient days it was, perhaps,
even more than Glasgow, the Ragusaof Caledonia,
where merchant and mountaineer, shepherd and
mariner, met together, bought, sold, bartered, and
quarrelled. But though it is a very ancient place,
there are few relics of antiquity in Inverness. An
old castle, blown up by Charles Edward, has been
rebuilt, and the terrace in front of the renewed
edifice commands a fine view over the town, which
possesses some architecturally interesting build-
ings. Among these is the Town Hall, opened by
the Duke of Edinburgh. It is a handsome building
in the florid Decorated style prevalent in Scotland
in the latter part of the fifteenth century. Inver-
ness also is the seat of the episcopal see of Moray
and Ross, and the cathedral of our illustration oc-
cupies a site on the low ground on the left bank of
the Ness. It is cruciform in plan, with two western
towers ; but is not larger than many parish churches
in England, and though pleasing in design, offers
little special attraction. Beyond Inverness itself
sereral other places near are attractive, notably
the hill fort of Craig Phadwick, crowning a steep
and isolated eminence, which rises more than 400
feet above the plain ; the fatal Muir of Culloden,
where was lost the last hope of the House of
Stuart ; Loch Dochfour, situated in the plain of
the delta, near to which are the traces of an en-
campment said to be Roman ; Loch Ness, along the
shores and among the glens of which are several
mansions. The most interesting is TJrquhart Castle,
which rises on a headland jutting into the water.
It is a building of considerable antiquity, some parts
going back to the fourteenth, and others to the
twelfth century. Early in the former it was be-
sieged by troops of Edward I.

IflUfrrcnce to Illustration.

THE earlier half of the seventeenth
century was remarkable for episodes
innumerable, not only of historical, but
of domestic interest, and the story of the
siege of Lathom House, near Ormskirk,
the seat of the Earl of Derby, is by no
means one of the least exciting and
romantic. It is of more than usual in-
terest, because it was the tact and
heroism of the Countess op Derby,
the ever-memorable Charlotte de la
Tremouille, that victoriously garri-
soned the mansion in the absence of her
lord at the Isle of Man. The hurried de-
parture of Lord Derby for that island
left him little time to get men and arms
together to protect Lathom House from
the Roundheads, but what he left in-
complete was made up for by the sa-
gacity and stratagem of the countess
after his departure. The situation of
the house has been thus described : —
" Before the house to the south and
south-west is a rising ground, so near it
as to overlook the top of it, from which
it falls so quick that nothing planted
against it on those sides can track it
further than the front wall ; and on the
north and last sides there is another
rising ground even to the edge of the
moat, and then falls away so quick that
you can scarce, at the distance of a car-
bine shot, sea the house over that
height, so that all batteries placed there
are so far below it as to be of little ser-
vice against it ; only let us observe by
the way that the uncommon situation of
it may be compared to the palm of a
man's hand, flat in the middle and
covered with a rising round about it,
and so near to it that the enemy in a two
years' siege were never able to raise a

"better ask twice than lose your way once.

battery against it, so as to make a breach in the
wall practicable to enter the bouse by way of
storm." The countess, at the period of which we
write, lost no time in disciplining the men. At
length the Parliamentarians arrived within a couple
of miles, on March 28, 1(344. Sir Thomas Fairfax
desired a conference with the countess, which
was granted ; and he, with a number of his officers,
informed her of his orders to reduce Lathom
House to their obedience. It was intimated that
she might be allowed to move in honour and with
safety, and take with her the children, servants, &c,
to the earl's house at Knowsley. The countess
answered, that till she had obtained the consent
of her husband and her sovereign, she could not
give up that house without manifest disloyalty
and breach of trust to both. She therefore de-
sired a month's time, within which, if she ob-
tained their consent, she would yield up the
house. A clever ruse by Mr. flutter, afterwards
Bishop Rutter, accomplished the delay sought for.
A fortnight elapsed, and sir Thomas Fairfax de-
manded a surrender. The countess's reply was
that as she had not lost her regard for the Church
of England, nor her allegiance to her Prince, nor
her faith to her lord, she could not therefore as yet
give up the house; that they must never hope to
gain it till she had lost all these or her life in de-
fence of them. The general had his eyes opened by
this reply to the deception which had been played
upon him ; but he was just now called away, and his
command devolved upon Colonel Egerton, assisted
by Colonel Rigby and Major Morgan. The former
gave orders for drawing a line of circumvallation
round the house, and the countess resolved to
Interrupt the besiegers with a vigorous sally, which
was so successful, that with the loss of only two
men on their part, they killed about sixty of the

besiegers and took about as many more prisoners.
The Roundheads retired to a safer distance, com-
pleting the line in about five weeks. They erected
a strong battery, upon which they placed a mortar,
and from which they fired shells and stones, to the
consternation of the besieged. One of the shells
exploded in the room where the countess and her
children were dining, but they were unhurt. This
was by no means the only escape enjoyed by the
countess. The Roundheads, however, poured in such
a pitiless storm of shot and shell, that despair almost
took possession of the little garrison. A council of
war was held, and a bold course determined upon —
viz., to make a vigorous sally, and endeavour to des-
troy the batteries. Next morning, after prayers, the
countess led her gallant troop out of the gates,
marching with them up to the very trenches. The
encounter was a remarkable one. It lasted half an
hour, when the Roundheads took to their heels, and
the victors disabled the cannon, or rolled them into
the moat. The mortar itself was taken to enrich
the battlements of the mansion, and for use against
its old friends. The Royalists returned to the
citadel ; the Roundheads rallied, and numerous
desperate encounters followed. When four months
had elapsed, it was painfully evident to the inmates
that unless help arrived they must inevitably sur-
render. Their courage, however, was undaunted,
and the countes8 somewhat astonished Colonel
Rigby by her laconic reply to his demand of sur-
render. She replied by the trumpeter who had
brought the message, "Tell that insolent rebel
Rigby, that if he presumes to send any other sum-
mons, I will hang up the messenger at the gates."
Help, however, was soon at hand. The earl, hearing
of the distress of the countess, obtained Prince
Rupert and his troops, who scattered the Round-
heads, leaving the countess victorious.

THE incident of the illustration was a
remarkable one in the life of Vol-
taire, to which he was indebted for his
imprisonment in the Bastille, and his
subsequent exile. He was born in 1694,
was a weakly child, and in his infancy
was abandoned to the care of his nurse.
The Abbe Chateauneuf was his god-
father and the child's first instructor.
He was nurtured in the gaiety and dis-
sipation of the time, and though his
education did not comprehend the most
noteworthy events in French history, he
displayed a marked literary ability,
which gave, in later life, his remarkable
dramatic poems, &c, to the world. " I did
not know," he says in one of his letters.
" that Francis I. was taken prisoner at
Paris, nor where Paris was ; the very
land of my birth was unknown to me ; I
knew neither the constitution nor the
interests of my country— not a word of
mathematics, not a word of sound philo-
sophy. I learned Latin and nonsense."
His father was a reputable notary, and
had designs of bringing up his son in
the same profession, but on this point
they quarrelled, and though young Vol-
taire did actually get matriculated, and
acquired the right to plead, which he
did, but not as a notary, his pleadings
were destined to fill wider courts than
those of Paris. His father died in 1722,
relentlessly set against his son, who was
flitting about in that gay world which
presently became the infamous world
of the Regency, where extraordinary
sprightline and facility in verse had
gained him welcome and patronage,
lief ore his father's death he had suffered
a period of imprisonment in the Bastille.
It appears that in the autumn of 1715
Louis XIV. died, and the Regent

"the morning hour has gold in its mouth.

D'Orleans reigned in his stead. There soon ap-
peared some pungent lines, entitled Les j'ai vu,
in which the writer recounted a number of evil
things which he had seen in the State— a thousand
prisons crowded with brave citizens and faithful
subjects, the people groaning under rigorous bond-
age, the magistrates harassing every town with
ruinous and unrighteous edicts. The last line ran
that all these ills the writer had seen, though he was
but twenty years of age. At this timo Voltaire was
twenty-two, but being known as a versifier of a
pungent turn, the production was "put down to
him," and though actually he had no hand in the
offence, he was laid up in the Bastille. He employed
his time in confinement by the preparation of what
he designed to be the great epic of France, and in
finishing his tragedy, JEdive, which was represented
in the course of the following year. For half a
dozen succeeding years he was occupied with the
composition of new plays and the completion of the
Hcvriade, and at the same time he led a life of tur-
moil and confusion in the gay society with which
he was surrounded, and in which we have the inci-
dent of our illustration. It is thus recorded by Mr.
John Morley :—" Industrious as he was, and eager
as he was for rural delights and laborious solitude,
Voltaire was still pre-eminently social. His letters
disclose in him, who really possessed all arts, the
art of onewho knewhowto be graciously respectful
to the social superiors who took him for a com-
panion, without forgetting what was due to his own
respect for himself. ' We are all princes or poets,'
he exclaimed jubilantly on the occasion of one of
those nights and suppers of the gods. Such gay-
hearted freedom was not always well taken, and in
time Voltaire's eyes were opened to the terms on
which he really stood. ' Who is the young man who
talks so loud?' called out some Chevalier Rohan at
one of these sprightly gatherings at the house of
the Duke of Sully. ' My lord,' the young man replied
promptly, 'he is one who does not carry about a
great name, but wins respect for the name he has.'
A few days afterwards the high-spirited patrician
magnanimously took an opportunity of having a
caning inflicted by the hands of his lackeys on the
poet who had thrown away his lesson upon him.
Voltaire, who had at all events that substitute for
true physical courage which springs up in an in-
tensely irritable and susceptive temperament, forth-
with applied himself to practice with the small
sword. He did his best to sting his enemy to fight,
but the Chevalier either feared the swordsman, or
else despised an antagonist of the middle class ; and
by the influence of the Rohan family, the poet once
more found himself in the Bastille, then the house
of correction, at the disposal and for the use of the
nobles, the court, and the clergy. Here for six
months Voltaire, then only representing a very
humble and unknown quantity in men's minds,
chafed and fretted." His freedom from the prison
walls, however, was only; subject to a sentence of
banishment, and he exiled himself in England,
making only one of the company of distinguished
men who made the invigorating pilgrimage during
the two generations which elapsed between the death
of Louis XIV. and the outbreak of the Revolution.
He arrived in England in 1726, and found himself in
a land where intercourse was familiar between
ministers and the brilliant literary group of " Queen
Anne men," and where they were rewarded with
lucrative posts in the administration of the country.
Voltaire was amazed at all this. He had the entrance
to the best society; he knew Bolingbroke, Pope,
Con greve, Newton, Locke, Prior, Gay, Addison, and
others, and his soul was fired with energetic hatred
towards the black clouds of prejudice, of mean self-
love, of sinister preference of class or order, of
indolence, obstinacy, wanton fancy, and all the other
unhappy leanings of human nature, and vexed and
fatal conjunctures of circumstance which interpose
between humanity and the benefieent sunbeams of
its own intelligence, the central light of the universe.
"Hence again," says Morley, " by a sufficiently visi-
ble chain of thought, his marked dis-esteem for far-
sounding names of brutal- conquerors, and his cold
regard for those outward, and material circum-
stances in the state of nations, which strike the
sense, - but do not touch the inward reason. 'Not
long ago,' he-writes, once 'a distinguished company

were discussing the trite and frivolous question,
who was the greatest man— Cassar, Alexander,
Tamerlane, or Cromwell. Somebody suggested
that it was undoubtedly Isaac Newton. This per-
son was right; for if true greatness consists in
having received from Heaven a powerful under-
standing, and in using it to enlighten oneself and
all others, then such an one as Newton, who is
hardly to be met with once in ten centuries, is in
truth a great man. It is to him who masters our
minds by the force of truth, not to those who en-
slave men by violence— it is to him who understands
the universe, not to those who disfigure it, that we
owe our reverence. ' " Here a story of Voltaire may
be mentioned in this connection. It was a pecu-
liarity of Congreve to affect a dislike to the fame
brought him as a litterateur, which he considered
somewhat in the light of a disparagement of his
claims as a person of quality. He intimated to
Voltaire that it was only as this last that he desired
his friends should regard him ; whereupon Voltaire
remarked that had lie been nothing more than the
elegant gentleman he considered himself, M. do
Voltaire would have scarcely thought it worth
while to solicit the honour of his acquaintance.
The English influences during "Voltaire's exile re-
vealed to him the importance of the mixture of
ranks and classes in common pursuits, and he records
with admiration instances of the younger sons of
peers of the realm following trade— "Whoever
arrives in Paris from the depths of a remote pro-
vince with money to spend and a name in etc or ille,
can talk about a 'man like me, a man of quality,'
and hold a merchant in sovereign contempt. The
merchant, again, so constantly hears his business
spoken of with disdain, that he is fool enough to
blush for it ; yet I am not sure which is the more
useful to a State : a thickly be-powdered lord, who
knows exactly what time the king rises, and what
time he goes to bed, and gives himself mighty airs
of greatness while he plays the part of a slave in a
minister's ante-room ; or the merchant who enriches
his country, gives orders from his country house at
Surat or Cairo, and contributes to the happiness of
the globe." When Voltaire landed in England, in
the middle of May, 1726, he was in his thirty-third
year — that earlier climacteric, says the writer
already quoted, when the men with vision first feel
conscious of a past, and reflectively mark its shadow.
It is then that they either press forward eagerly
with new impulses in the way of their high calling,
knowing the limitations of circumstance and hour,
or else, fainting, draw back their hand from the
plough, and ignobly leave to another, or to none,
the accomplishment of the work. Voltaire did not
draw back. He returned to France in 1728, his two
years' residence in England having been fruitful of
much new knowledge and ideas. He had studied
the speculations of Bolingbroke, Collins, Tindal,
Wollaston, and others ; he had dived deeply into the
philosophies of Newton and Locke ; he had acquired
such an astonishing mastery over the language that
he read Hudibras, Shakespeare, Milton, and Dryden.
He had plunged into the field of theology, and mas-
tered the famous deistical controversy, of which
the seed had been sown in the first half of the
seventeenth century by Lord Herbert of Cher-
bury, the correspondent of Descartes, and the
earliest of the English metaphysical thinkers. Sub-
sequently in Paris he indulged in speculation, with
such marked success that it was estimated that his
income was £7,000 per annum. His literary labours
ran up to about ninety volumes, but he did not
acquire much pecuniary return for them. He wrote
everything, and was, in fact, a universal genius, and
he was terribly envenomed in the fierce polemics on
his adversaries. From 1750 to 1758 Voltaire led a
somewhat unsettled life. In the latter year he
established himself along with his niece at Ferney,
in Switzerland, and he died in his 84th year on a
re-visit to Paris, where he was received with an
enthusiasm that knew no bounds. A notice of
Voltaire without a dissertation on his religious
beliefs and sentiments, may by some be compared
to the play of Hamlet minus the Prince of Denmark ;
but it will serve the purpose here to conclude by an
expression of regret for the ignorance which has
created the prevalent belief that Voltaire was an
-atheist.

"proverbs are the daughters of daily experience."

THE ROYAL JUBILEE.

It was given to Egbert of "Wessex to unite the hept-
archy of England into one kingdom. This was in
827. Dating from this period, and including Egbert,
England has seen fifty-eight monarchs on the
throne.

Only four out of this long list have had reigns
extending into what is understood as the jubilee
year, the four being Henry III., Edward III.,
George III., and "Victoria.

On the 20th of June, 1S86, Queen Victoria en-
tered upon the fiftieth year of her reign, but the
full term of the jubilee will not, of course, be com-
pleted until the 20th of June, 1887. Henry III.
reigned in all fifty-six years, 1216—1272 ; Edward III.
died soon after completing the jubilee term ; while
George III. outlived his jubilee ten years, and had
therefore the longest reign of which our history
affords an example.

The third George was seventy-one years old when
the advent of his jubilee was celebrated, so that he
may be said to have reached his majority when he
came to the throne. The other two began their
reigns in their boyhood— Henry III. in his tenth
year, and Edward III. in his sixteenth. Her present
Majesty was eighteen at the time of her accession.

The jubilee year of Henry III. gave rise to no
p iblic rejoicings, and Henry, owing to his oppres-
sive exactions, was not then in favour enough to
make any celebration other than a mockery had any
attempt been made to do honour to the event.
Edward III., however, saw a very hearty celebra-
tion of two jubilees— one on attaining the fiftieth
year of his life as well as that which marked the
fiftieth year of his reign. It is recorded of him (in
Barnes's History) that in 1376, being the fiftieth
year of his reign, he " kept a second jubilee in com-
memoration thereof, and gave pardons, immuni-
ties, and graces, and showed many notable acts of
bounty and goodness to his people, as in the first
jubilee."

The year was a memorable one in many other re-
spects. It was that in which the Black Prince
died. It witnessed the discomfiture of John of
Gaunt. A few months before the king had lavished
his wealth upon Alice Perers ; she was now ban-
ished from the Court.

Edward had summoned numerous Parliaments
during his reign, and it happened that the Parlia-
ment of the year of his jubilee began the work of
reform, so that when Richard II. succeeded to the
throne he faced a resolute body of commoners, who
had courageously put forward, for the first time, a
Speaker, and who claimed the right of appointment
to all State offices;

George III. was not well enough to take any per-
sonal part in the festivities that marked the fiftieth
year of his reign, and soon after the malady pro-
nounced itself which necessitated a Regency. His
Consort, however, took an active part in all jubilee
arrangements made by the royal household.

The celebration was general on the 25th of Octo-
ber, 1809, all over the country, Scotland vying with
England in the heartiness with which it com-
memorated an event of so much interest in our
annals ; and Ireland was not in any sense behind in
demonstrative loyalty.

The gaol-doors of the country were thrown open
that all small debtors might go free, the creditors
either foregoing their claims or receiving their
own from subscription lists instituted for the pur-
pose. The king headed one of these lists with four
thousand pounds. The merchants of London gave
two thousand, and the Corporation a thousand.

A proclamation was issued pardoning uncondi-
tionally all deserters from the fleet, leaving it
optional with them to return to duty or seek other
pursuits. All deserters fr<>m the land forces, who
surrendered within two months from the 25th of
October, were also pardoned. Extra allowances of
rations and leisure were given both to soldiers and
sailors. There were some fifty thousand prisoners
of war in England at the time, and they were given
the privilege of returning to their own countries if

so minded. Very many of them elected to remain,
and became part of the body politic, leaving de-
scendants, who to-day " be all good Englishmen."

It is related of a benevolent citizen of Ports-
mouth, that on the day of the celebration he gave
threepence each to nearly seven thousand French
prisoners confined in vessels in the harbour, and
that he gave sixpence each to about two hundred
Danish prisoners in the same port, accompanying
the gift in the latter case with a printed card,
setting forth that the donation was intended not
merely in honour of the jubilee, but in recognition
of the humanity shown by Marshal Mortier to the
British sick and wounded after the battle of Tala-
vera.

Generally throughout these islands much was
done by public and private effort to mark the year
of jubilee by relieving distress ; and here and there
a permanent memorial was raised, such as the em-
battled tower on the summit of Moel Famma, This
tower, by the way, has been a ruin since 1882, in
which year it gave way during a gale.

The jubilee year itself was a notable one. It was
that of the battle of Corunna and the death of Sir
John Moore. It witnessed the ill-fated Walcheren
expedition, and the duel between Canning and
Castlereagh. It was the year in which Pall Mall
was first lighted up with gas ; and the sporting as
well as the scientific world have reasons for recalling
it, for wasn't it that in which Captain Barclay began
and finished his wonderful walk of a thousand miles
in a thousand consecutive hours ? It was the year
also of the starting of the Quarterly Review.

CARDIFF.

The rapid and extensive strides in modern de-
velopment have served to annihilate almost
all the ancient relics of the antiquity of Cardiff.
Among those that do remain is the castle keep,
shown in the November page. Cardiff Castle itself
has been largely restored and remodelled. It stands
near to the river at the north-west angle of the
town, and guarding the bridge where was formerly
the only access to the town from the west. Some
suburbs have of late years sprung up on the right
bank of the Taff; but all, or nearly all, the older
parts are upon the left bank. The old town, of
which the walls and gates remained so late as the
last century, extends south of the castle near the
river-bank ; but the extraordinary transformation
of the place of late years has been remarkable, and
it has been largely due to the Bute family. The
castle is still a family residence, owing to which
there is less of genuine antiquity remaining than a
distant view of the building might seem at first to
indicate. A castle has occupied the site from a very
early date. There was a stronghold here of the
British princes long before the Norman Conquest,
and perhaps the mound which rises on the northern
side of the castle courtyard once supported the
principal tower of their residence. Soon after that
event the Normans occupied the site and built a
castle. This, however, has been affected by later
changes, and the keep, which still remains on the
above-named mound, is of Perpendicular architec-
ture. Formerly the castle court was divided in two
by a wall which ran from the gatehouse tower to
the keep, and in one of these parts stood the Shire
Hall. Both this and the wall have been swept away,
so that the whole of the spacious court can now be
seen at a glance. These frequent alterations make
it difficult to trace the history of the various parts.
Little or nothing, however, now remains above
ground of the Norman castle. This was chiefly
famous as the prison of the ill-fated Robert Court-
hose, Duke of Normandy, eldest son of "William the
Conqueror, for here, when his wars and wanderings
were abruptly ended, the " man who forgot and for-
gave too much" spent the last twenty-eight years
of his long life. His death occurred in 1134.

"PRACTISE NOT YOUB ART, AND 'TWILL SOON DEPART."

THE GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND.

The mere holding of the Great Seal of England
entitles the fortunate custodian to some £12,000 a
year, to immense patronage in Church and State, to
he Speaker in the House of Lords, a Privy Coun-
cillor, and the head of all judicial authority in the
kingdom, to be designated Lord High Chancellor of
Great Britain, and keeper of the royal conscience,
and to rank (next to the Royal Family) the second
subject in the realm. It is very difficult, if not im-
possible, to say when England first had a Great Seal.
Seals were not much used by our Anglo-Saxon
ancestors, but came largely into fashion during the
Norman reigns. The gilt roses, or marks of Edward
the Confessor and other Saxon kings, can scarcely
be called seals, and partook more of the character
of signatures of an illiterate age ; but a grand and
perfect seal of William the Conqueror exists, having
the monarch crowned and throned on the one side,
and mounted on horseback on the other— attitudes
which have been invariably observed to the present
day. One remarkable circumstance connected with
the Great Seal is its progressive growth in size as
time advanced. Originally, 800 years since, not
larger than the top of an ordinary modern teacup,
it has been gradually enlarged from age to age, till
it offers now the size and appearance of a muffin,
and requires to be enclosed in a tin box for pro-
tection. Indeed, so cumbrous and unwieldy had the
Great Seal become, that some three or four years
since an Act of Parliament passed— containing very
extraordinary provisions— directing that all the
minor, and many even of the more important docu-
ments passing under it, should for the future be
authenticated by a paper wafer, of moderate size,
which should be gummed on the instrument, and be
deemed and taken to be the Great Seal itself.

The Great Seal has only three times been lost—
twice temporarily and once permanently. James II.,
on leaving the kinerdom on his abdication, threw
the seal into the Thames, whence, however, it was
next morning fished up and brought to Whitehall.
Lord Eldon buried it in his garden in Queen Square
during one night when his house caught fire, as he
thought in the confusion it might be stolen. "And,"
writes the Chancellor in his diary, " when the fire
was extinguished I quite forgot in the morning
where I had buried it, and while the carriage waited
to take me to Court, my lady and I and all the house-
hold were digging with pieces of stick till we
luckily found it." Lord Thurlow, who always kept
it during the night in his bedroom, had it actually
carried off by burglars, from whom it was never
recovered. A Privy Council was called the next
day, a new seal was made, and during the remainder
of his continuance in office, Lord Thurlow invari-
ably deposited it at night under his pillow.

Down to 1818 the Great Seal itself was made of
copper; since then silver has been the metal em-
ployed. It is in two halves, something like
two very thick bright tin saucepan-lids fitting
closely together, their inner surfaces deeply sculp-
tured with the royal devices intended to he formed
on the wax when squeezed between them. Instru-
ments having a limited duration are sealed with
yellow wax. Others, supposed to exist in per-
petuity, such as patents of peerage, &c, are exem-
plified under green wax ; and in the case of some
letters patent, likely to be exposed to a great deal
of knocking about or journeying from place to
place, such as were the assize commissions, the wax
seal was stamped after being ingeniously enclosed
in cream-coloured leather.

ENGLAND IN 1550.

An examination of the different entries contained
in the Machyn diary sheds a strong light upon
matters connected with the reign of Mary which
ordinary historians omit. Take, for instance, the
criminal statistics with which Machyn furnishes us.
We look in vain for those particular offences of

fraud and cunning which the subtleties of the nine-
teenth century have made us familiar with, but in
their stead we read of hostility to the mechanism of
religion, of low cheating, of cruelty to men and
animals, and, of course, of those sins against the
flesh which ever follow in the wake of ill-disciplined
human nature.

From the well-furnished army of Machyn let us
select a few of his arrows to take aim at the manners
and corruptions of his age. Here we find a younc
fellow tied to a post " hard by the Standard in Cliep, '
with a collar of iron round his neck, and soundly
whipped by two men "for pretending visions."

The Church offers its next victim. We read how
one " Cheken, a parson of St. Nicholas, Coldharbour,
did ride in a cart round about London, for he sold
his wife to a butcher," a piece of traffic which is
still, on some parts of the Continent, believed to
flourish in England.

This was how a butcher who had exposed diseased
meat for sale was punished. He was forced to ride
about London, "his face towards the horse's tail,
with half a lamb before and another behind, and
veal and calf borne before him upon a pole, raw."
There are several entries recording this punishment.

Men who sold stinking fish were put in the pillory
with the stinking fish round their neck. One very
nineteenth-century summer trick we see was in
vogue in those more innocent days. The first day
of July there were a man and a woman in the pillory
in Cheapside; the man sold pots of strawberries,
" the which the pot was not half full but filled with
fern." Thus even in minor matters history repeats
itself.

THE ORIGIN OF BICYCLES.

The first pedomotive machine was that designed
—though never, so far as we know, constructed—
by the Marquis of Worcester, an exceedingly able
scientist of Charles II. 's time. Of the details and of
the plan of this invention all traces have been lost. .
In the Universal Magazine for August, 1769, we
find a long description of a chaise to go without
horses. Considerable attention must have been de-
voted to the matter at that time, for the editor of
the magazine, in introducing the subject, says:
' ' The conversation of the public being greatly taken
up with a machine to move without horses, we are
persuaded the preceding plate, with the following
introduction, will be not a little agreeable to our
readers." The machine described was the invention
of John Vevers, "Master of the Boarding School at
Rygate in Surry," who, so far as can be ascertained,
was the maker of the very first velocipede the world
ever saw. In the illustration we see a gentleman
lolling back in what resembles a small " Victoria."
Behind him, and with an exceedingly meagre pair
of legs projecting from a box, is a footman, who is
supposed to be propelling the machine, which is
steered by the three-cornered-hatted occupant of
the vehicle. The rage for the new kind of carriage
did not evidently die out at once, for in 1774 we
notice in the Universal Magazine that, " On Monday
evening, about seven o'clock, a machine for going
without horses, invented by Mr. Boone, of cheap-
side, on a new construction, went through the
Strand. It consists of a wooden chair, placed upon
iron supports, and which is pushed forward with
great velocity by the quick working of the man's
feet upon some iron springs placed immediately
behind it. It is so contrived as to be turned at
pleasure and with ease, and goes at amazing speed."
The December issue has an account of another velo-
cipede "capable of travelling with ease six miles
an hour, and, by a particular exertion of the foot-
man, might travel nine or ten miles an hour on a
good road, and would even go up a considerable hill.
But this carriage is in general only calculated for
the exercise of gentlemen in parks or gardens, for
which it answers extremely well."

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND
ANNUITIES.

The lives of the persons of either
sex between the ages of 14 and 65
may be insured for. not less than
£5 nor more than £100: or if the
amount does not exceed £5, not
under the age of 8 years. The
Postmaster-General is also em-
powered to grant Immediate or
Deferred Annuities for any
amount not less than £1 or more
than £100 to any person not under
the age of 5 years.

The following examples show
various ways in which Insurances
may be effected :— The life of a
Male or Female between 21 and
22 years of age may be insured for
£10, by an annual payment
throughout life of 4s. 4d. (id. a
week); or by an annual payment
to the age of 60 of 4s. 8d. ; or by a
single payment of £4 4s. ; or a
person between 21 and 22 years of
age having, say, £9 deposited in
the Post Office Savings Bank, the
interest on which is 4s. 6d. a year,
can direct that 4s. 4d. of this
amount of interest be applied to
the payment of premiums on a
Life Policy for £10; he can thus
maintain his Life Insurance with-
out decreasing his capital of £9.

A sum of money may be insured
on the attainment of the age of
60 years, or sooner in the event of
death, by the payment of a single
or animal premium, and a sum of
money may be insured at the
expiration of in, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, or
40 years, or sooner in the event
of death, by the payment of a
single premium according to the
age of the insured person. ■

REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &C.

In England an infant should be
registered within six weeks after
its Birth. No fee is payable; but
after 42 days, a fee of 7s. Od. is
chargeable.

Notice must bo given of Deaths
to the District Registrar. Let this
be done early, as a certificate must
be obtained to give to the minister
who performs the funeral service.

In Scotland a Birth must be
registered within 21 days. A Mar-
riage must be registered within
three days. A Death must be'
registered within eight days.

INTEREST TABLE.

Without giving an elaborate
series of tabulated figures to as-
certain the interest due on any
given sum, at 24. 3, 5, or any other
rate per cent., any person may cal-
culate for himself the amount of
interest by a very simple process.
The amount of interest upon one
pound for every month at 5 per
cent, is one penny. Having ascer-
tained what any given sum
amounts to at 5 per cent., other
rates may be calculated by adding
to, or dividing it, thus: g months.
5percent.for£80wouldbe£2 6
25 per cent., which is one-
half 1

3 per cent, is six-tenths ..140
34, per cent, is seven-tenths 1 $

4 per cent, is four-fifths ..112
If the interest should be more

than 5 per cent., then the extra
rate of interest must be added.
Thus for 6J per cent, add one-
fourth; for 74 per cent, add one-
halt

Forms the FIRST NUMBER of an entirely NEW VOLUME.

Attractive as CasselVs Saturday Journal undoubtedly has been
in the past, it is intended that the future numbers shall be doubly SO.
In order to inaugurate the New Volume worthily in all respects, the Publishers
have made arrangements for printing it on a Paper specially manufactured for
the purpose, and in New and Larger Type.

But it is in the intrinsic attractions of the Journal itself that the readers will
discover its merits.

The amount and quality of the literature given, the high-class and yet
thoroughly popular nature of its contents, the intensely interesting Serial Stories,
the brilliantly written Short Stories, and the. variety of its matter — furnishing
attractive reading for old and young — these, and a hundred other characteristics
of permanent and never-failing interest, will be found conspicuously present in
No. 157, being tha First Number of the New Volume.
