! as. The fire commenced in two story
frame building on the corner Of Main and
Front streets, and occupied by Mark

Della Bacon.

\ certain American lady, claiming to be a
descendant of the family of great Lord Bacon
tool, up her abode at Stratford once upon a time
with the fell purpose of hunting up and break
ing up every Shakespearian tradition on and
not on record in the full belief that he, at least
as n playwright and a dcmigod of genius is a
myth. With the full conviction in her own
mind that he, being nothing more than at first
a linl-man and householder, and afterwards
mere common second-rate actor at the Black
friars Theatre and at the Globe, was made to
bear the onus and obloquy of being n writer
of stage plays, by their true author, Lord Bacon,
the puritanical tone of whose family and associ-
atoms checked him from acknowledging the
great poems as his own, did this unhappy lady
set to work upon huge volume wherein to
prove her theory. That it was hardly an origi-
nal one most people will be aware that they do
not share it, fortunately, is also to be assumed
However, for months and months every Shaks-
pearian authorityin the neighborhood was poster
ed to death by this unhappy fanatic, in her eff
forts to prove the truth of her belief But 1t
was only when, after much mystery and pre-
caution, she disclosed to my host the nature of
the grand final coup she was about TO make for
the full accomplishment of her object that her
true colors were shown. Imagine one dark
winters night the snug oak-panelled library of
one of the most influential burghers of the town
being invaded by wild haggard-lookng wo-
man. Imagine her mysteriously informing
him that she intended in that night to effect an
entrance into Lne CHURCH, ana Win lnhItOck
and spade to disentomb the Wondering remains
Of the great bard. Would he help her? Would
he share with her the glory and fame of scat
terng TO the winds the myths which men had
foolishly nursed for three hundred years
Would he let her have the keys then in his
possession to save her resorting to force and
consequently damaging the sacred edifce in or
der to get into it? Would he help, Her she
asked, TO prove by the writings in Lord Bacon's
| hand, which she knew to have been buried
with the body, that all the so-callcd plays of
| Shakespeare were the work of her great ances
| tor? A / trust that most of those who are
| tempted by the title Of these pages to look
| through them will be more or less dreamers
! themselves, with or without Imagination, as
the case may be, ! ask them once more to i'm
agine the CONSERVATION of my host, and the
| difficulties brought upon him that night by
the poor mad lady. Then and there he had to

over the one idea her scant reason had given way,
and the climax Of her misery was reserved for
my friend to witness, as ! have described,

The Latest Onlcial Act Of Governor NOyes,
of Ohin.

A Cincinnati paper tells the following
story of the last moments of the official
life of Governor Noyes, of Ohio:
While an immense crowd of people was
collecting about the State House, to witt
ness the inaugural ceremonies for it began
to assemble early in the day), an affecting
incident was taking place in the Execu
tive Chamber, of which there were but
one or two eyewitness. Hundreds of
guests had called, and scores were calling,
10 say their good-byes to Governor Noyes.
Among those who entered the chamber,
however, was an old man, thin, wrinkled,
pale and gray haired and much bent by
age and manifesting suffering. He tinlid
ly asked to see the Governor, who stepped
aside to a window with him. The old
man said he would have called before. but
had been sick. He came at that late hour
to make an appeal for the pardon of an
erring son, who had been confined in the
penitentiary for seven years, and who had
three more to stay. What is the name
of your son ~ asked the Governor. The
cid man gave il. Governor Noyes then,
without making him any definite reply,
requested him to step into his private room
and wait till he was at leisure. The fact
was, the pardon had been granted only
that morning, and the old mau's daugh-
ter had already gone to carry the
pardon to her brother ana accom-
pany him from the penitentiary to
the Governors office. In few minutes
the liberated man arrived with his sister,
neither expecting to find the other there,
and the father not dreaming that the par
don had already been granted. one can
readily imagine the scene rs the Governor
conducted the two to his private room.
The son flew to his father and embraced
him, and then flinging his arms around
the Governors neck, covered his face with
kisses. The old man, overcome by the
great happiness Of the moment, sank into
his chair, sobhing like child. There were
no dry eyes in that room, and those who, a
| few minutes later, were talking and chat
ting with the retiring Governor in the re-
ception-room little imagined in what q
touchingly pathetic scene ne had been q
participant. The liberated man has wife
and child eight years old, sister and aged
parents. 1t will be pleasant reflection
| during his lifetime to General Noyes that
it was one of the last acts of his executive
| power TO fill one household with the sun
shine of happiness, and restored the be
! loved one, long separated from them, who
had fearfully condOned for his crime.
