MEMORIAL TO THE LATE LORD
FREDERICK CAVENDISH.

In memory of the late Lord Frederick Cavendish, a
stained glass window has been placed in St. Margaret's
Church, Westminster. The window selected for
ornamentation is in the West end of the church, next
to Westminster Abbey, Divided by mullions into
four perpendicular departments, these again are sub-
divided by a transverse line, making altogether eight
spaces, the upper four being the larger, to be filled, in-
dependently of the lights made by the finial tracery.
The lower part of the window is not yet completed, and
remains hidden from view by a screen. The four chief
compartments, which are now unveiled, are filled with
scenes from the divine human life, wrought out in
colours of deep and pure tints. The first is the agony
in the garden ; the second the crown of thorns; the
third the carrying of the cross; and the fourth the en-
tombment. The spaces above formed by the tracery,
are filled in with angelic figures and foliage.
The lower divisions of the window when finished
will contain scenes also from sacred history,
but of a more human type, illustrating figura-
tively and at a distance tha character they help to
perpetuate. Under the Agony is the Master, in the
parable of the talents, saying to his servants, "Thou
bast been faithful over a few things ;" next is Nathaniel;
the third shows the sending forth of the seventy; and
the last represents the stilling of the tempest. The
ostensible uncovering of the window took place at the
morning service on Sunday when every part of the
church was occupied, The Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Prime Minister, and Earl Spencer, were present,
and occupying seats in the nave were, among others,
the Marquis of Hartington and Lord Edward Caven-
dish, Mr. W. H. Gladstone, Sir E. Colebrooke, &c.,
&c. The musical part of the service was chosen
appositely to the occasion. The hymns used before the
sermon were, "There is a blessed home," and "God
moves in a mysterious way " ; while during the offer-
tory " 0 Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand,
and guard and bless our Fatherland" was sung. The
Ven. Archdeacon Farrar read the lessons, and the
sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Wickham,
head-master of Wellington College, who took as his
text the ninth and tenth verses of the Twenty-ninth
Palm. In the course of his remarks, he said the
monument they had uncovered that day was no
common monument even in that historic church. It
was not common in the manner of its placing. It
was the practically unanimous tribute of the House
of Commons, and that not merely in an official
sense by the unanimity of an unquestioned vote,
but by the spontaneous and personal act of its several
members, of all parties and creeds, in the three king.
doms. The first thought in every heart had been to
pay a tribute of reverence and affection to the singu-
larly pure and noble life which was so sadly and
cruelly cut short, It was a life devoid of show, but
it was one which stood the higher the nearer it was
seen.
After service, Mr. Gladstone and many members of
Parliament walked along the aisle, and stood for some
time examining the window.
Archdeacon Ferree preached at the evening service,
taking for his text "Thou shalt not kill."

A military store was burnt down at Dresden on
Monday night.
