The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-10-08

he spoke to the dead or dying. He
read out letter which Mr.. Guildford
Onslow had written, full Of zeal, and
hope, and encouragement. He listened
gratefully but spoke not word. He
himself is allowed to receive no letters;
he knows nothing of the outside world.
Asked if he heard anything, he an
swered sadly. ''No, nothing but the
scream of the wind" He is under
the doctors hands, but his
hours seemed numbered. 1t is
impossible that he can long survive.
Lord Rivers asked him what sort of
bed he had. The poor fellows coun-
tenance fell. The warder interposed,
saying. You must not ask, and he
must not answer any questions about
the prison discipline. After this, of
course, no more was said on the subject.
DR.. kenealy, after they had been there
about five minutes, said to him 'sSir
Roger, the Jesuit and wing prints are
circulating far and wide that the prison
has unmasked one Of your DISCUSSES,
and that your hair is red like Orton's.

your cap that | may judge for myself"

colored cap 1t looked like
brown paper--from his head. The red
and carroty locks Of Orion appeared

borne--nearly as dark as that of his
uncle, Alfred Seymour, whose remark
able likeness to him has always been
noticed. But his suferings have
changed its general appearance. Amid
the shining black could be seen thin
gray lines; in little while he will be
white. if, indeed. he lives throughout
the year. The warder also kept his
eyes fixed on Sir Roger, who did not
resume his cap during the rest Of the
interview, but held it in his poor,
weak hand. He said he was to
be removed in three months, but
whittier he knew not. lie who is

Sir Rogers next removal will probably
be into the grave. He inquil ed anx.
iously after his children. Alas those
beautiful ones little know of their faith
er's condition, and it is we'll for them
that they do not. The only thing
about which he seemed anxious was the
writ of error. DR.. Kenealy cheered
him by expressing his strong belief that
it would be granted, and that the
house Of lords would do him
right. He did not know that
Sir John Karslake had ceased to be
attorney general until he was told; he
said Sir John would assuredly have
given his fiat for the writ. He spoke
with sorrow of Lord Selborne being
