that he wished some of the ladies

A universal exclamation of dislike
to the experiment was answering him,

preaching Mr.. O'Halloran, told him
that person wished to speak to him

Wine,

The Sandusky Republican quotes the
Chicago Republican as stating that, at q
dinner given by the proprietors of the
Tribune, on the twenty-ffth anniversary
of its foundation, champaign flowed
freely" and adds
"The account doss not say in words that
Mr.. Greeley who is elsewhere termed the
responsible host of temperance memory,
aided personally in employing the cham
paign bottles, but as he put the bottle to
his neighbours lips by furnishing wine at
a feast over which he presided, we will
not split hairs on the subject"
As an attempt is made to use the al
legged fects perniciously, it may be proper
to state that Mr.. Greeley was not 1.-THE re-
sponsible host on that occasion-that the
dinner was nowise suggested, got up, nor
managed by him-that he was not aware.
till he entered the dining-room, that wine
had been or would be provided-that he
neither drank any nor in any manner
"put the bottle to his neighbours lips
that he was obliged 10 leave at Z P. NJ. to
fulfill an imperative engagement else
where-and that he neither drinks wine
nor provides 1t for others. Surely. the
editor Of the Chicago Republican should
be already aware that Mr.. Greeley's no
tons as regards wine differ from those of
some of his associates and that be has
never sought to make his convictions the.
measure of their tastes and habits.-N. Y.

BYRONIANA.
Unpublished Letters Of Lord Byron
ABDUCTION.


At a recent auction sale in London,
some unpublished autograph letters of
Byron were sold, of which the Reader
gives the following account:
They are addressed to his friend Hodg-
son, the translator of "Juvenal." Writ
ing from Falmouth, 25th June, 1909, By
ron says: "The town contains many
Quakers and salt fsh-the women blessed
be the corporation therefor y are logged
at the carts tail when they pick and
steal" The letter closes with this passage:
Il leave England without regret L shall
return to it without pleasure. l am like
Adam, the first convict sentenced to
transportation but l have no Eve, and
have eaten no apple but what was sour as
a crab" Writing from Newstead Abbey,
9th September, 1871, he says: IL have
been a gooddealin young company lately
for 1 have been reading Juvenal. The
10th Sat. has always been my favorite /;
it is the finest recipe for making one mis-
cradle with this life, and content to walk
out of it, in any language" October 18th
of that year he writes II am like the
Evangelical definition of the wind, which
goeth where it listeth, but no man knows
whence it cometh or when it ~returneth.
On the 14th December, 1914, he says /:
viii you tell Drury l have a treasure
for him-a whole set of original Burns
letters, never published or to he publish
ed, for they are full of oaths and nauseous
songs, all humorous, but coarse and in
delicate. However, they are curiosities,
and show him quite in a new point of
view. The mixture, or rather contrast,
of tenderness, delicacy, obscenity and
c%oarseness inI the same mind is wonder
full"
Anticipating a s%ojourn at Hastings, in
1914, when it was still the sinful decayed
Clinque Port instead of the quiet town of
Brighton, he says: al am so glad TO learn
Of quiet, for l would not be at a regular
fash-ash-ashionsble watering place for
all the gems of the ocean, and its cOdtshe-
ries into the bargain"
In a letter dated Sth July, of the same
wear, he adds: vii you take a house
for me at Hastings2 1 shall also want a
house-msid, and ectempore pro tempore
cook of the place. Let my bedroom be
some way from the nursery or children's
apartment, and let the women be near to-
esther, and as far from me as possible"
Speaking of his approaching marriage
October 10, 1914, he writes "She is to
be Lady B. the moment the lawyers and
