The place which Lady Palmerston
held for many years in London society
will not be easily filled up. There was
a sunshine about her Saturday evening
receptions at Cambridge House which
is not usually seen in gatherings of a
similar nature. AS general rule polit.
ical parties are very wearisome the
crush, the difficulty of getting away
make them "things to be DONE as a
duty but not as an enjoyment. There
were the same crush and the same diff.
ficultios at Cambridge House, but there
was brightness only to be accounted
for by the perfect manners of both host
and hostess. The most insignificant
guest was sure to be welcomed by pleas
ant smiles from Lady Palmerston and
by warm greeting from her husband,
who, although he was often ignorant of
the name of the person whose hand he
so cordially shook, always managed to
convey the impression that he had been
most anxiousE expecting and was quite
delighted at bis arrival. Lady Palmer
stons good manners were the mere re-
Fiction of hd true kindliness of heart,
and it is this which made them so fas-
cinating to oil around her. She offered
a rare example to all "great ladies" by
showing th.t it is possible to occupy a
high position in the most genial man
ner, yet vii hout vulgarity or affectation.
Society is sot generally credited with
possession bf a heart, but the sorrow
with which the intelligence of her death
will be received will probably be as sim
cere as the affectionate regard with
which she till long be remembered

. If a lady yawns half dozen times in
succession, young man, you may get
your hat.
It has been asceratined that the man
who "held on to the last" was shoe
maker.
"Wood is the thing, after all, as the
man with wooden leg said, when the
mad dog bit it.
Why is the world like piano? Be.
cause it is full of sharps and flats
On what grounds may confectioners
be called very mercenary lovers? Be.
cause they sell their "kisses."
Why is a tradesman who keeps en-
larging his stock, like venomous rep
tile? Because he is an adder.
s'Im particularly uneasy on this
point" as the fly said when the boy
stuck him on the end of needle.

Isn't it singular that an ill-natured
shopkeerer should ever offer to sell his
good will, when all the world knows he
hasn't any?
We always think ola very mean man
that he was made by one of natures
cobblers, and like an unfinished boot,
thrown off without being souled.
A woodsawyer who had mislaid his
tool, asked a boy if he had seen his saw.
81 saw no saw, sir" replied the urchin.
The man who ''took q walk" the
other day, brought it back again; but
the next day he took a ride, and has
not since been heard of.

dinner on the twenty ninth of Septem-
Der, saying he always had goose at

Lady Byron

Lady Byron
The --latest witness against Mrs. Stowe
is a Mrs. inns, now living at Yarrow-
on-Tyne, AMI whose statement is pub
lished in thu Newcastle Chronicle. For
ten years bhe was Miss Milbanke's
lady's maid, hnd was "the close confid-
ante of her distress" She declares it
impossible flat cher dear old mistress
ever communicated to Mrs. Stowe the
odious revelations which that lady. has
turned to sueh profitable account y
and among ALMOST of other reasons which
she assigns FIR this belief are the follow
ing: Lady Byron often spoke to her of
Mrs. Leigh, 1but always in terms of the
deepest affection, often designating her
as her best friend" Mrs. Minis was
present at the wedding, which did not
take place in my church, as Mrs. Stowe
has it, "but wis performed by special
license in the lrawing-room of Seaham
hall )" she PRECEDED Lord and Lady By
ron, to prepar, for their reception at
Halnaby hall, hnd saw them alight from
the carriage during the journey, ac-
cordlng to Mf. Stowe, the bridegroom
made a hideods confession to the bride,
which had an awful effect upon herr,
and Lady Byron twas bouyant and
cheerful as a bride should be, and kind
ly and gayly responded to the greetings
of welcome which poured upon her from
the pretty numerous group of servants
and tenants of the Milbanke family,
who had assembled about the entrance
to the mansion,

The EYEs.-That the color Of the eyes
should affect their strength may seem
strange, yet that such is the case needs
not at this time Of the day to be proved !;
and those whose eyes are brown or dark
oolored, should be informed that they are
weaker and more susceptible of injury,
from various causes, than gray or blue
eyes. Light blue eyes are generally the
most powerful, and next to those are gray.
The lighter the pupil the greater and long
err continued is the degree of tension the
eye can sustain. Scientific american.

ONE OF THE DEPUTY SHERIFFs OF THE
COUNTY.-It is stated that the murderer Real
is deputy sherif-one Of O'Briens subordi-
mates as guardian Of the peace-and we be-
lieve there is no doubt that he actually had
deputy sheriffs badge on when arrested. Those
who know from what material deputy sheriffs
are made will not wonder at this, and If Real
be still deputy sheriff it is well known that
he is not the only jailbird in the Sheriffs Office
Does not Sheriff O'Brien himself belong to
what is known as the Nineteenth street gang |?
Is he not leader and head man among those
wretches-those centres of ruffianly organiza-
tion which in our city riots murdered the gal
liant Colonel O'Brien and performed such other
feats as the burning OF the armory in Second
avenue? If it was not for honor gained in
those struggles that O'Brien was made Sheriff
of this county, for what other Of his achieve
ments was it? 1t Is question for the people
to consider what chance the honest men of this
city would have in tumult when Offices
like that of the Sheriff are so near in sympathy
at least to those against whom the honest men
would have to contend.

The Lord Chamberlain ON the Impropriety
Stage.
The circular which the Lord Chamberlain
has addressed to the managers of all theatres
under his jurisdiction exposes an evil which
has frequently been complained Of and which
threatens to become public scandal. He
has noticed for some time past that this evil
has been gradually on the increase; but he has
been most unwilling to interfere in matter
which he considers might more properly be
left to the discretion and good taste Of tho
managers themselves Now, however, that
the question has been taken up by the press
and public opinion is being expressed upon 1t,
he feels himself compelled to call the serious
attention Of the managers to the reasonable
complaints against the impropriety Of costume
Of the ladies in pantomimes, burlesques, &C.,
which are now being performed in some of the
metropolitan theatres. He adds that he can
not but remark the discredit that now Justly
falls on the stage and the objections which
are being raised against 1t by many who have
hitherto frequcnted the theatres, but who now
profess themselves unwilling to permit the
ladies of their families to sanction by their
presence such questionable exhibitions.
The growing evil against which the Lord
Chamberlain so properly demonstrates was
imported from Paris to London ,and thence to
New York, where in the palmy days Of the
s'Back Crook and ''White Fawn" drama il
assumed the most aggravated proportions. II
has not yet disappeared from the American
stage. The duty of eifectually checking it's
further growth and demoralizing influence Ia
here within the province Of the press, the
recognized organ Of public opinion. The man
ayers and performers Of the English theatres
are still, at least nominally, cher Majestys
servants" and are subject to the jurisdiction
Of the Lord Chamberlain. In this republican
country the sovereign people have right to
demand that those who minister TO its public
entertainment shall not be exempted from the
laws OF decency and good taste. The HERALD
has uniformly denounced the violation Of these
laws, however skilfully the dazzling effects OF
calcium lights, scenic decorations, youth.
beauty, graceful motion and melodious music
may be employed to blind the eye Of the
spectator to the grossness Of the spectacle.
