yVilltana Penn,s Grave.

Penn died on the .30th of July, l7l8,
and his body was laid in the peaceful
rural battle-ground of Jordans, near
Uxbridgc, in grave. next to that OF his
beloved Gulielma, the wife of his youth.
Thither had preceded him, many years
before, his dear friends Isaac and Mary
Pennington, who rest close beside him
And but few feet distant repose the re.
mains of his excellent son Springett, and
of his quaint but faithful friend Thomas
Ellwood, the amanuensis Of Milton. These
graves render Jordans sort of classic
ground, not merely to the Friends, but to
others. Many IN American visitor to
Great Britain finds his way to that se-
questeral spot, to muse over the green and
simple mound beneath which moulders the
dust OF one who has exercised truly
mighty and abiding influence on the
character and dest,nies of the United
states. Ihither, too, once year, usually
IN the first week in June, amid the flush
and brightness Of the opening summer,
the Friends of London and the Home
Counties betake themselves, as on
a pilgrimage, to hold solemn gathering
for worship in the ancient meeting house
which oyerlooks the green and silent bur-
lal ground. On these occasions, alone of
all the year, the place assumes lively
aspect. After the service the visitors dine
together in groups, about the grounds,
and welcome the chance stranger to par.
take Of the good things brought in their
baskets and hampers. The afternoon is
spent in walks and rides to other places
of interest in the neighborhood, assoc,a-
ted with Penn, Ellwood or Milton; So
ciable tea follows; and when the sun has
set, and the moon shines upon the white
headstones Of the clustered graves, all is
again as still and silent as it is wont to be.

Probably the most remarkable order
that was ever given to q railroad official
was sent last week to the station agent
1T Tarrytown on the Hudson River Rail.
road. The telegraph message was: "Open
tho switch and throw 49, into the river. -
The agent was amazed. He knew that
''8o' was an extra freight train bound
south. 10 throw it into the river seemed
to him crime. Yet there was no mis-.
take about the order. The message was
plain and unmistakable. So the switch
was turned, and everything was
prepared to give ''89'' cold bath
whatever might be the consequences to
the occupants of the train, or the damage
to the property of the company. But
for some reason $685. did not come. When
it was several hours behind time, the peo.
pie became anxious. A search was insti.
tuted, and the missing train was found 3
miles north, in disabled condition. The
explanation of the mysterio"s order soon
came out. 1t appears that when ''89'
was passing Sing Sing, Eve convicts board
ed the engine, drove off the engineer and
fireman, and opened the throttle valve to
its fullest extent. They were not quick
enough, however, to prevent the engineer
from slyly turning on the pumps.
AS a consequence, the boiler FILL
ed with water, the cylinder
heads were blown out, and the train
stopped. This was fortunate end to
the escapade, for, if the train had con.
tinued on its way, the railroad authori.
ties would have been compelled to throw
it into the river in order to save pas
senger train which occupied the track
south Of Tarrytown. The action of the
station agent who obeyed his orders so
implicitly, and of the Superintendent who
sent the order, is not to be classed as at
all heroic, nor do we see in it any occa-
sion for newspaper enthusiasm and sush ;
but it does show high state of discipline
among the employees of the Hudson River
Company, and some efficiency of service,
both of which are delightful to observe in
this age of criminal carelessness.

The Wife of Byron,s Grandson,

Many times may be seen at Brighton a
fair woman, upon whose brown head falls
the sunshine yet from the eastern hori-
Zon Of life whose contours have girlish
roundness, but whose features begin to
show the harsh touch of the chisel of
care. Looking upon her, one would be.
lieve her to be a girl yet, for her years
cannot be more than 23,-one who has
been very Psyche Of girls, and is not
yet far separated from radiant, buoyant
youth. And yet.+his fair woman is one
whose name has been smirched by one of
the most monstrous scandals of fashiona-
bic English society. She is the wife of
member off, the proudest aristocracy in
the world, who is heir to two earldoms,
and whose wealth is so great that he him.

Lord Wentworth, son Of Lady Lovelace,
WHO was *Ada, sole daughter of the
hearth and home' of the poet, Lord By

the title and honors of Lord Lovelace;
by the maternal, he came into possession
of his present one. Ada Byron. the first
Lady Lovelace, was of a very peculiar
temperament, inheriting from her father
the morbid conditions which in his case
were reactionary effect of emotional
dissipations, but in hers constitutional
depression. Here was not happy mar
ried life, although one free from scandal.
and Lord Lovelace, when he was mistaken
for servant by the pretty widow who
was afterward his wife, upon the hotel
steps at Madrid, perhaps felt the first
warmth Of the revived emotion which
Lord Byron's pulseless daughter had
chilled to almost death. She transmitted
a peculiar mental constitution to her
sons. The elder, Lord Ockham, who
would have been Lord Wentworth had
he not died before the title descended
from the elder branch, in his early youth
abandoned his home, his luxurious habits,
and all the refined associations of his
rank, and worked for months in black
smith s shop. Later he married publi-
cans daughter, and died soon after his
marriage. Dying childless. the title of
Lord Wentworth, passed over him to
Lady Loyclace's second son, who now
bears it. 1t is told of this nobleman that,
one evening, going into the theater, he
made . bet with one of his companions
that he would marry the most beautiful
woman at the play that night. 1t chanc-

Newcastle clergyman occupied stall

In Boston the other day a vain young
