Excepting Mrs. Somerville, no woman
of this country has ever exhibited as
remarkable mathematical powers as
Lady Lovelace. BY some curiouspsyeho-
logical perversion, her talents, no wise
inferior to her fathers, were entirely
destitute of the poetic element Her
personal appearance, however, resem'
bled the Byrons. The writer saw her at
Clifton, the year before she was mar
ried. She was with her Mother, Lady
Noel Byron. The head. face, lineas
ments, skin, wavy hair, and large, liquid
ewes Of her father, we're reproduced
in the daughter. Unfortunately, her
character was also like his. There was
a craving for excitement that made her
forever restless. Though married TO a
man whom she deservedly loved and
respected-surrounded by all the ele-
gancies of the most cultivated Eng
lish life-a leader in society, whether
at their handsome mansion in St.
James square, during the London sea-
son, or in the palatial country seat at
Ashley Combe--possessed of wealth,
blest with children, the idol Of her hus-
band and the admiration of all scientific
men she could not be content. Between
Lady Byron and herself there was almost
perpetual discord. She speculated in
the funds, gambled at Baden Baden,
kept her betting book for the traces, and
finally, during the railway mania, when
George Hudson was king" bought and
sold to an extravagant degree in the
thousand and one enterprises of the day.
With her ample income she might have
done all this and escaped unframed.
But her agent failed-the bankruptcy
courts took possession of his accounts
and to save scandal Lord Lovelace came
forward, and at an enormous sacrifice,
made good a deficiency. Her chagrin
at this, it was always believed, was at
the bottom of long illness that fol-
lowed, which terminated fatally.

The Degeneration OF the American
Stage.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.l
In the marvellous growth of this coun-
try and the rapid multiplication of cities
and towns capable, or ambitious of being
capable, of supporting theaters, must be
found principal cause of the decline In
the character of the drama. We have
many more theaters than formerly, but
we have not so many actors that deserve
to be called such. Fifty years ago there
were hardly more than q dozen estab-
lished theaters in the United States.
Now there are hundreds of such, to say
nothing of the hundreds of so-called
opera houses" and academies OF mu-
sic" which are found in towns Of from
ten TO twenty thousand inhabit-
ants, which invite travelling compa
MES, and SO occupy a great deal Of
the time of members of the theatrical
profession. This enormous increase in
the number Of theaters has made O de-
mand for actresses aud actors quite be-
yonl the supply Of dramatic genius that
is TO be found in the country. Young
men and women are apt to be fascinated
With the idea u ihe stsgs. taassJJT think
it is an easy and pleasant profession, and
they take to it with little idea beyond
that Of having an easy, pleasant life.
Having no ambition beyond dressing
well and being paid well, it is not sur
prising that not one in thousand deyel-,
ops sny dramatic genius. Young glrls,
whe have not a particle OF dramatic
feeling, can get engagements at theaters
because they are handsome and have no
delicacy about exposing all their beauties
to the public. The amount of decent tai
ent and honorable aspiration that has
been keptin the background to make room
for the hosts OF immodest women, thatare
demanded for merely show-pieces, can
never be guessed at. The dummy with
handsome leg, fully exhibited, draws
better pay.than lady or gentleman who
happens to be endowed with modesty
along with genius. All things oonsid-
cred, we may say we have no drama,
nowadays. Miss Cushmsn, Mrs. Ian
der, Mr.. Jefferson, Mr.. Booth, Mr.. Da-
venport, Mr.. Sothern, Mr.. Wallaek, Mr..
Clark and few others remain TO remind
Us Of What has been, and 70 bridge over
this present chasm between a brilliant
past and the brilliant future that all must
hope for. But the drama, as an actual
thing that inspires writers aud oxcites
ambition, in them as well as actors, Is
dead; and the "bloRde burlesques are
dancing in all their efrontery, over its
grave.

The valentine mania in England ha

The valentine mania in England has
of late years assumed intense virulence.
Nearly two million packets containing
valentine matter pass through the post
Office on the 18th and 18th Of February
and the ratio of increase is double that
of the populatios. There are three
great makers-Rimmel, Dean and Good
all. Rimmei is the famous perfumer,a and
turn, nasally speaking, thousands of
dirty postoffice pigeon holes into Araby
the blest. Messrs. Dean claim to have
produced the most costly valentine ever
made. This was executed to the order
of the Queen, and was a marvel Of the
illuminators art, being also further en-
riched by feather flowers of the most ex-
quisite description. These encircled
some lines of poetry by the late Prince
Consort and the valentine was sent to
the Prince of Wales on his eighteenth
birthday.
