mcnts of tboir sex, and their quiet aud en-.
nobling influence cuntrib uto1 largely to the
subsequent greatness of their children aud
husbands. Mr.. Parton tells tho following

When Gen. Jackson was q candidate for
tho Presidency in 1923, not only did the

his wife. On ono occasion . newspaper

character Of Mrs. jackson was violently as

She answered, Il saw it all In his paper

DEATH OF LADY BYRON Among the for
eign news VIC find that of the death of Lady
Byron, widow of the great poet. She died
10 London May l7th, in the 66 year of her
age. Her father was Sir Ralph Milbanke
Noel. Baronet, At the ago of 81 she was
married to Lord Byron, the match bcing
purely ono of ihtorest, his affections having
long before been given to Miss Chaworth,
The ill-assorted pair living together but
thirteen days. The fruit of their marriage
alluded to by Byron as
Ada, sole daughter Of my house and heart"
was married to Earl Lovelace, aud died
eight years ago.
Lady Byron was an estimable woman, ir-
reproAchable In private life, and exceedingly
benevolent. Her modest aud retiring char.
aoier must have rendered the constant ref
erences to the particulars Of her unhappy
marriage very painful.
