OF, lived sorrowfHl and heart broken

Of fright and cold brought on by the
riots at the time the Tories threw out
the reform bill in 1S3i-32. Alarmed
by the fierce demonstration Of the No.
tingham Workmen, she fled from her
hall, sought shelter in a copse, wherr,
through the hvelong night, she was
pelted by pitIless tempest, and new

Her grandson, the worthy represent

lovely Mary of '.The Dream" is now
the owner of Annersley. 4 mile north
of Hucknall lies Ne6stead, the seat of
the Dyrons, noble estate, which, l
suppose, at moderate calculation,
would now sell for half q million ster-
ling, or, as they say here, half mil
lion Of money, for in England nothing
il considered money that is not repre-
sen'ed by the pound sterling.
Newstead, as you know, was a noble
abbey Of the middle ages, but at the
time OF the suppression of religious
houses In the reign of that pious
monarch. Henry VIII, of blessed
memory, it passed into secular hands,
and became the abode of the Byrons,
and so, in due time, of the young poet
Here were held those orgies, the read
ing of which makes one shudder. All
the world knows that, among other
bits of profanity practiced by the half
wild young peer, he dug up skull of
former abbot OF the house, had it
mounted with silver, and used it as a
| drinking cup. In consequence it is
said, the ghost OF the abbot visited the
"glimpses of the moon" for many q
year, haunting especially the chamber
of his lordship and that of his page,
adjoining. So firmly has this tradition
taken hold of the Imagination OF men
that few have been induced to sleep in
those chambers since the poet left them.
One sentimental traveller, ] believe, q
stranger TO fear and. snnerstitlnn-- was
KInuTy Indulged by being allowed to
sleep in Byron's bed and Byron's room,
and while recalling many "spooky'
lines of the poet, he ascIibed his phan-

confessed himself to having slept undis-
turbed. There was also tradition
that so long as that skull remained
above ground no owner of Newstead
would ever have male issue to inherit
the estate. Byron died without son
to take his home and title; and the
same was true OF its next owner,
his friend, Col. Wildman, whose
wife, by the way. was a left
handed cousin to Her Majesty the
Queen, the daughter of-the Duke of
Sussex, with the r''bar sinister" in hel

A Curious History.

The Stewart palace, says the New
York correspondent of the Utica Herald,
has thus far rather strange history.
The lot was purchased by Townsend,
the sarsaparilla man, who made for
tune out of that nostrum and built what
was then QS54) the finest house in the
city. Such was its beauty that it was
exhibited before the family took possess
sion, at % cents admission, for the ben
eft of a charity. Townsend afterward
failed, and Stewart bought the property
at Sheriff's sale. He pulled down the
house and planned the present palace.
This was done before the war when
prices were low, and the initiation so in
creased the cost of labor and material
that the contract became 4 heavy loss.
Stewart held the contractor To the letter,
and the unfortunate man suffered to an
almost ruinous degree. 1t is seldom
that a building constructed under such
circumstances avails much to lis owner.
Stewart was eleven years preparing a
palatial home for his old age, but he
died soon after taking possession. The
grandest palace in America is now oc-
cupied by childless old woman and
her servants. The gorgeous parlOrs,
the picture gallery, and all the luxurious
interior is now silent waste. The lofty
ceiling render the staircase labor, and
the mistress, being lame from fall, is
unable to meet such difficulty A per-
son in such condition must be content
ed with the limits of bedroom, and
hence the largest part of the palace is
useless. Such is the condition of an es-
Establishment which cost a round million,
and on which the taxes alone are $1,000
year.
