The literature of the Byron Controversy has
received an addition, which is sure to attract
some attention, in the shape of volume pub
lished in London entitled Medora Leigh a
History and Autobiography DR.. Charles
Mackay stands sponsor for the volume, per-
fecting the autobiography with an introduce
ton and following it with a commentary on
the charge brought against Lord Byron by Mrs.
Stowe, which he propounces untrue. The au-
thor then relates that the autobiography was
obtained from a friend among whose papers it
had lain unheeded for 26 years. In 1843, TWEEN
ty-seven years after the separation of Lord and
Lady Byron, and 10 years after the poets
death, Medora Leigh, then twenty-eight years
of age, came from Paris to London acconpa-
MED by her child, daughter of nine or ten !;
an English officer had interview with her,
and learned from her own lips that she was the
daughter of Mrs Leigh by Lord Byron, and I'M
til recently had been treated with great kind.
ness and llberality by Lord Byron; and he
urged her to plead her cause in person with
her relatives. In London she had an inter-
view with DR.. Mackay's friend, and at his in
stance wrote out the painful story of her life,
and convinced him of the truth of all her as
sertions, He had several interviews with
Lady Byron's legal advisers, DR.. Lushington
and Sir George Stephen, with view of bring
ing about reconciliation, but in this he failed.
uAto LicNahlou NnACuoid Oiucst flSt6rJ carried
the unfortunate girl to Calais, and there she
was prematurely delivered of child, which
was left in charge of medical man, and died
at the age of three months. She went back to
her mothers house, concealing what had hap
pened, and there Trevanion seduced her again.
Mrs. Leigh was now taken into confidence,
and treated her with great kindness. DR..
Mackay's theory is that so far as Mrs. Leigh is
concerned the present accusation dates from
Mrs Trevanion's statement to Medora about
1881 that Colonel Leigh was not her father.
He believes that it was the wicked Invention of
an outraged wife who had wanted TO get rid of
her husband, after she had been once dlscov-
cred his inidelity. Part III. of the volume is
occupied with ''Recapitu,ation of the narra-
ton Of Mrs. Beecher Stowe and Medora Leigh
which is to prove that while Medora Leigh is
to be believed so far as her story regarding Mr..
'rrevanion is concerned, her statements about
Lord Byron being her father are untrustworthy

STRIKE OF TELEGRAPH OPERATORS. - Our
dispatches yesterday morning stated that in
consequence of a reduction of the salaries of
the employees of the Western Union Telegraph
Company at San Francisco, without consult
ing them, they have suspended work, and have
called upon their brethren throughout the
country to aid them. Accordingly the en-
ployees of the Company in many of the princi-
pal Western offices expressed their determine
ton to cooperate with their brethren in pre-
venting this reduction. A meeting of the tel
egraphers of New York was held Monday
night, and resolutions adopted requesting that
the salaries at San Francisco be not duced as
proposed, and asking the reinstatement of the
operators discharged there for refusing to sub
NIT to the reduction. No response being re-
ceived, the operators in the large cities at once
stopped work; Cleveland leading off Monday
night, followed by their companions i'll Chicago

The New Funding Bill Central Iowa
Bonds.

Congress will probably pass Secretary Bout
Wells Bill to Fund the National Debt at and
1-2 per cent. This fact has induced MANY
of our most sagacious investors to sell their
Governments while the Treasury is buying,
and they are still at premium, and re invest
in first-class railroad mortgages which offer
equal security ndpay much better interest.
Among those mortgages, the Central Railroad
of Iowa is highly commended by men who
have the best right to know One of the Di-
rectors of the Company, who had already
taken over $4,000 of the Bonds, recently sold
Governments and bought $4,000 more. AS
he had examined the line in person, and is
known to be shrewd investor as well as
gentleman of large means, his example must
carry weight. a ..

sound and profitable investments to SWAN
