THE REAL MANFRED,
TO the Editor of the Court Journal.


ST. MAURICE, Dec. S, 1884.
Sir-I have just learned through friend In
London, that Lord Byrons "Manfred" has
been dramatized, and brought out at Covent
Garden, with all the necessary Accomplishments
of "angel and devil" 1t has often been to me
a matter Of surprise, that amongst your literary
friends no one has yet discovered who the " real
Manfred" was, and that so many persons should
have supposed the characters implicated to
have been those of Lord Byron and his amable
relation, Mrs. l., however much the poet
poem.
Several years ago an English Peer, whose
ancestor was the friend and patron OF one of
our most eminent poets, arrived with his hay-
sister at this place. The cottage still stands on
the Vevay road, where the lovers concealed
themselves.
The remorse of guilt gradually destroyed the
health of the Lady Astarte, and she died here.
His Lordship quilted the place Immediately, and
went into Germany, where his next exploit was
the CARRYING off nun whom he had never seen,
and had fallen in love with only from hearing
her sing at her easement. Her brother, the Ba-
ron, pursued them; and, during many years, 1t Is
said insisted on the marriage ceremony being
performed every Monday.
knew Manfred and long before l had read
Lord Byron's poem, | used to compare him to
the print of Satan in Miltons Paradise Lost:
there was something peculiar and undefinabe
in his air and appearance. He became mis-
anthrope. and know no character so peiecty
in keeping, as Lord Byron, who visited this spot,
has made that of Lord b.
You may rely upon the truth of this account;
and YOU are at liberty to publish it.

"The President certainly said that Mr.. Poin-

"Gov Wolfe, Of Pa, is spoken Of as Post

"Mr J. @. Adams, in the House to-day, spoke
in the highest terms of the Presidents Message

apprehensions that the appropriation would not
be made by the French Chamber, and desires
instructions from his Government as to what
he shall do in that event.
After the reading of the Message &c. Mr.. ].
@. Adams made some remarks, in which he
lauded the message, and intimated that war
between the two Governments was inevitable.
He moved that the message and correspondence
be referred to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
