The Byron Scandal

The New York Nation, in commenting
upo the story of Mrs. Stowe III regard to
the separation of Lord and Lady Byron,
says:
We were told the main facts of this his
tory something more than ten years ago,
and this was how it was told to us; At
whatever time the incestuOus connection
between Byron and his sister may have be-
gun, Lady Byron knew nothing of it, as we
heard the story, until after the birth Of her
child. Some time after that event, proba-
bly, about the beginning of january, 1916,
Byron told her Of the intrigue, saying that
nc had never loved any other woman than
tho partner Of his guilt. She,
naturally, supposed it to be a delusion OF
insanity; and it was under this impression
that she consulted DIR. Baltic about him,
which is one of his main charges against
her in his letters and in Don Juan. It was
while under this belief that she wrote the
playful letter to Byron, after leaving him,
which is also one of the counts in the in-
dictment against her. After reaching Kirk
by Mallory, her fathers house, she had GER
tain proofs of the truth of what her hJ1s-
band had told her, from which time she
left him for ever.
Now we do not affirm that this version
Of the story is absolutely authentic. We
tell it rs it was told to us; butmost certain
ly it is Inherently more probable than the
one given by Mrs. Stowe. 1t is n key to the
whole mystery, and the solution is greatly
honorable to Lady Byron. Il accounts fol
her silence as to to the cause of the separa-
ton. Her lips were sealed as long as Mrs.
Leigh lived. II accounts for hor consulta-
ton with DR.. Baillie, and for her letter after
leaving Byron, and before knowing that a
/ q separation was inevitable. 1t accounts,
too, for Dr. Lushington's statements con-
iirmlug her own, saying that % reconcilia-
ton was impossible, and that if such an
idea should be entertained he could not,
professionally or iotherwise, take any part
towards eifectmg it.

PanI Clifford flufdnnc.


a correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
relates the following incident which IS
vouched or az having recently occurred in
New York:
AS capital illustration of the manner iii
which thieves conduct their little well or
ganized and apparently quite legitimate
calling i'll Gotham. little affair came under
my observation few days ago wherein q
family in the village of Woodside, on the
Long Is and Railroad, were robbed by bur-
glars of silver plate and jowelry. The de
tectives, OF course, could obtain no clue
until a reward was offered for the return of
the property, which consisted of gifts and
valued heirIooms IN the family. A polite
note was thereupon received from the gen
tleman burglars expressing their regrets at
the Inconvenience of the owners and Offer
ing ut once to restore the goods, but in re-
gard for their own necessities, they would
be compelled to accept the reward offered
as a compliment to their honesty and pro
feSSiOnal skill f
The owner consulted the detective upon
the proprie5Y of causing the arrest OF the
thieves, but was perenlptorily informed that
such course was not 'ibonor among
thieves and would end only in increased
disaster to al concerned, and equivocally
advised him TO take what he could get and
ask no questions. He accordingly, by ap-
pointment, entered the smoking-car of an
afternoon train, and found two nobby
gents, with fancy kids, white hats, diamond
pins, and rings, in charge Of q basket con
tanning his lost valuables, and there, in the
presence Of the passengers, who knew
what was going on, the goods were ezamin-
ed, the negotiation happily concluded, and
the money paid. The nonchalant Jack
Sheppard offered their new friend a fifty
cent Havana, talked merrily and friendly,
and at the next station bid him goodbye in
the most polite manner possible. Has fc-
ton recorded anything more singllarly
cool and refreshing than this? Paul Cliff

cracksman, and Vidocq's Office would be al

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Dom csfic iuLuck,

From the Albany Knickerbocker, Aug. n.
We have Just heard of n rather romantic
story which has transpired in this city, the
truth of which we can vouch for, notwlth-
standing its sensational proclivities A
few years since, a girl living as domestic
in an aristocratic and wealthy family Of
Liverpool. England, won the affections Of
the son of that family. The young man
became smitten Of his inamorata and re-
solved upon marrying her. When he made
his intentions known to his parents, Sc
rious opposition was manifested. The
girl, although q good one, virtuous and
honest, was not in keeping with the fam
ilv standing In society. To marry such
q one was considered disgrace in Eng
land, especially when the family oi
the young man is Of the highest
blood. Notwithstanding all this, the young
man cast aside 5ll family ties, and married
the poor girl of his affections who was
only q servant IN his fathers house. The
result was, that the boy was driven from
the parental root, and took up his humble
abode with his wife. They lived together
in peace and happiness a long while. A
son was born out of this marriage. Final
ly, the husband Of the girl was taken sick
with that terrible disease, consumption,
and died, leaving the girl q widow, with
her child. During the illness of her hus-
band, the latter received kind considera-
ton at the hands of his parents, although
they never in person, visited his bedside.
Soon after the death Of her husband
the widow and child came to this country
with her father and mother. They set
tied in this city The father and mother
took up home for themselves, while the
widow went out to service in a well-known
family living on Washington avenue. She
had been there for long time, and was
honored by her employers Last week she
received letter, Announcing the fact that
thewhole of the estate of her husbands
father, amounting to $500 600, had been
bequeathed to her son. Arrangements We're
at once perfected, and on Wednesday last,
the servant girl, accompanied by her father,
sailed from New York to Liverpool, to look
after the fortune coming to them.

An Ada Lewis on the Mississippi Rive

From the Davenport Gowal Democrat August 25tll.
Two young gentlemen, JAS. johnson and
VIM. Silver, each about sixteen years Of
age, took an old slIiff last evening from the
foot of Warren Street, and commenced pull
ing toward Maple Island. When between
that spot and Willow Island, the boat, which
was old and lealy. rapidly filed, and IN
in their attempts to bail her out with their
caps, turned her over. The daughter Of a
fisherman living Oh MIL Street, saw
the accident, and getting into a
small fat-bottomed boat which CHANGED to
be at hand, padded to the scene of the
disaster. On arriving she found one OF
the young gentlemen ciinging to the up
turned skiff, while the other, exhausted and
ready to give in, supported himself on an
oar. The brave girl assisted tholn into her
boat, and with true feminine policy, made
the overturned sbiff fast asteTn and return
ed to shore. IN all human probability
these boys owe their lives to the presence
of mind and ready assistance Of this youag
woman, whose conduct their parents will
not allow to go unreWardcd. uA
