THE BYRON SCANDAL AGAIN-SOME LET
TIERS WHICH GIVE HARRIET BEECHER

THE BYRON SCANDAL = LET
TIERS WHICH GIVE HARRIET BEECHER
S1owE's THEORY A DEATH-BLow. Thc
scandal revived some time ago by Mrs. Ii.
B. Stowe with reference to Lord Byron and
his sister has at length received what looks
very much like its death blow. In the
number of the London Academy for the
18th of July appears a series OF letters
from the late Lady Byron to her husbands
sister, Mrs. Leigh, which date from January
16. 1916. the day after Lady Byron left her
husbands house, to the year 1851, immedi-
ately preceding Mrs. Leigh's last illness.
Gail these letters" says the London News
of the 18th of July, testify to the con-
slant. esteem and affection which Lady By
ron entertained toward her sister-in-law.
The expressions of affection they contain
entirely discountenance the idea that the
charges brought against Mrs. Leigh after
Lady Byron's death, and said to depend on
her direct personal testimony, had any fOun-
dation in fact. Writing only ten days after
leaving her husband, Lady Byron addresses
Mrs. Leigh as My dearest Augusta" and
concludes by saying: Feelings must not
now be INDUCED but whenever feel at all,
it will be as kindly as you could. lndepen-
IDENTIFY of malady, | do not think of the
past with any spir t of resentment, and
scarcely Will GHe Scuse VI injury. OOl
bless him." There was at a later period a
serious dispute between Lady Byron and her
sister-in- law; but it arose on the appoint
ment of a trustee under Lady Byron's set
Element. Lady Byron appointed DR.. Lush
ington, to whom Mrs. Leigh objected. The
rupture Of their intimacy Of twenty years
clearly arose out of this quarrel. In 1851
a meeting was to have taken place between
them at Reigate in the presence of the late
Rev. Frederick Robertson, but it did not
happen, and some months later, when Mrs.
Leigh was in her last illness, Lady Byron
wrote to der daughter: Whisper to her
from me the words, dearest Augusta"
l can't think they would hurt her. and
added a postscript that she was at Esther
till Wednesday, and if she was wanted they
were not to hesitate to send for her. The
whole of this interesting correspondence,
which throws new light on the relations of
Lady Byron to her sister-in-law in the years
after the separation from her husband, is
entirely Inconsistent with the theory Mrs.
Stowe has promulgated as to the causes of
that separation. Every reade of the let
tiers will agree with Mr.. Thompson that if
the words have any meaning they dispose
Of the whole calumny, and Danish it into
the regions of after thought. '"-Neu IorA:

ITALIAN GIRLs.-The girls of Italy do
many things our young ladies would not
think Of doing, and they leave unlearned
certain accomplishments which only the
very poorest American fair ones pass by.
The Italian bride makes her own outfit, and
as the troussenu consists of six dozen Of
everything. being intended to last twenty
five years, and all must be embroidered and
frilled, the task is not an easy one. But
they take their time to it. occupying two
years in getting it in shape. and all the
while the work goes on the lovers are
counting. The husband gives the dresses,
shawls, everything, in fact, but the under
clothing. Italian girls do not learn to sing,
draw, and play the piano. These are left
to people who earn their living ny them.
But they are taught how to sew, cook and
iron.

Of all the foolish habits that poor mortals

as that Of giving away to. inclination and

have known persons to become SO addicted
to this foolish habit that they would scold
the chickens that came arOund Their door,
entirely unconscious OF the gathering they
heard little dreaming that they would cause
such a commotion. 1t is a habit that will
grow with advancing years, and until you try
TO break it of YOU will not know how a firm
hold it has taken. Take.your trials and dis
appointments with a patient and fOrebearIng
spirit, you will feel all the better for 1t. You
would think it very foolish if you heard a
boy every time he could not leave his work
to 90 fishing, hunting or pleasure seeking,
scold about it for a long time. | think you
would say he needed a good whipping. DID
YOU, dear readers, ever see a person who ielt
any better after a hard scolding? No, such a
course only makes him feel so much the
worse. Depend on it, you who have a habit
of losing your temper and flying in a passion
| every time you are crossed a little, that you
can not afford it. There may be many times
during tHeSc not udyS tudI We ucCOluo ticO

harder than we can bear, but we must re-
member rhat others around us are Just as
tired, and if you only practice a little pa
thence, the storm will soon be over and the
sunshine will be all the p~leasanter. Strive
to keep "a smile on your face, and say a kind
word whenever you meet %neighbOrs or friends,
as there is no telling what an effect it may
have on those we meet. 1t is much more
effective than a snarl. And then, we are
apt to think that others are in a similar con-
dition with ourselves, and FIVE are in a good
mood it will help to tighten the cares of those
we are thrown IN constant contact with. II
parents are in a habit of scolding their chill

them cross and peevish, and this, as much
as any thing else, is the cause of so many
children leaving home for the city, where SO
many temptations are constantly In their
path. Try forbearance, scolding husband,
and see what an effect a few kind words will
have. Show your tired wife more attention,
try to help her when you are around the
house. instead of making all the work you
can, and see the amount of sunshine it will
shed across your pathway. :

THE PERSON OF CHRIsT-RENEwAL OF
AN OLD Discussion AS TO HIS PERSONAL
ApPEARANCE.-The following item is circu-
! lating through the papers, and it has in
spired the comments which accompany it =
Mr.. Meziere's doubt Of the authority Of
nj. Remains description of the personal APP
pearance of st. Pau appears to have set the
Paris bookworms at work delving among the
works of the early church fathers. The re-
suit is not only the justification of Renan,
but a good many curious discoveries, of
which the following are perhaps the most
notable. Saint Clement, of Alexandria,
thus sketches the Savior: Jesus had no
beauty of face; his person offered no physi-
cal attractions he only possessed beauty Of
soul, which is the true beauty. Saint
I~renieus, a disciple of Saint John, wrote
that his master had often heard the beloved
disciple say that the hair Of Jesus had al
ready turned white when he began his mis-
SION"
To us the last sentence of the stray waif
floating upon the sea of newspaper comment
is extremely touching. We have read moth
ing for a long time which we have thought
of 50 often. 1t expresses what we had not
conceived before seeing it in this form. The
condemnation of the Jews and their cry of
: cruelty him." the a~rraignment before
Plate, the buffetings of the Roman soldiery,
the last utterances upon the cross, and the
dying cry are t~earfully familiar to us all
but that the weight of his great mission
bore upon him with such magnitude that he
became prematurely gray awakens a new
thrill OF compassion with us.
Its not safe to say no reliance can be placed
on any of the descriptions Of Christ per-
sOnal appearance that have come down to us.
The declaration OF Iren9us is based on the
remotest hearsay testimony, and there is
not a syllable from any one who saw him,
with one who had seen him. The
gospels give Us not the slightest hint, the
apostles give us no description of Him, and
the writings of the apostolic fathers are 81
lent on the subject. As soon as a hundred
years after his death, SO fully had all tradi-
ton of his appearance died out, that a con-
t~roversy arose as to whether he was fair or
ugly-some taking the one view and some
the other. Justin Martyr, Tertuillian and
Cyril took the ground that he was physical
~ ugly-in fact, some declared him the ug-
hest of men-giving a literal Interpretation
to the passage In Isaiah which declares that
he had no form of comeliness, and no
beauty that we should desire him." Am
brose, Jerome and others took the opposite
view, and declared him to have been the
most beautiful of mankind. The fact that
the early fathers take exactly opposite sides
OF the question seems to prove cOnclusiyeiy
that there was no correct knowledge, and no
authentic tradition even in their times. The
etter of Lentulus to the Roman senate, Civ
ng quite a minute description OF his person,

tract allows the association S240,000 q year

MARBLE HEARTS.

Demented and Deserted Pitiful
Story of Helpless Poverty.
On Tuesday last Mayor Patton was called
upon bya man who gave his name as AL
phonse SauvIeney and said he was FROM Avoy-
elles parish. He requested the Mayor to fur
nish him with the papers necessary to secure
the admission into the City Insane Asylum
Of OH afflicted little girl, about thirteen years
OF age, whom he had brought to the Mayors
parlor with him, and who, he said, was his
daughter.
The child was paralytic and was insane
and dumb. Her condition. Sanvigney repre-
scented. was brought about by fall. Her
mother was dead and he (Sauvigney) was una
bic to give her the care and attention one SO
terribly afflicted HI she WAS required. He had
endeavored to get her into the jackson In
sane Asylum and had failed. aud knowing not
what else to do with her, had come to this city
with his unfortunate little ono to ask admis-
sion for her into the city asylum.
The Mayor represented to Sauvlgney that
the asylum in this city was for the support OF
the city insane, aud he was without authority
to place In 1t any person not resident in New
Orleans. that he could not provide for Tho i'll
digent insane OF every portion Of the Sta.e.
Sauvigney left aud went to No. 7 Toulouse
street and engaged ROOM. He placed his
keepnpf the house that he was going out to
InaktsaHrrangamentS for tho comfort and
maintenance Of the girl, he departed and did
not return.
The police authorities were notified Of his
desertion, and instructions were given to the
force to arrest Snuvigney on sight.
Thus fur he has not been captured, but last
night the following letter, which tells
AP1TIFUL STORY OF A FATHERS LOVE
and helpless poverty, was conveyed to the
chief OF police:

Patton had opened correspondence with the

efforts Of the Mayor to that end will no doubt
be- continued, notwithstanding the letter.

For Officer Leininger to Explain.

Tuesday night Officer Lsininger, Of the
Second Precinct, reported to Chief Boyan
that man named Geo. Raby, residing in the
house No. 283 Magazine street, informed him
his premises two shots were fired at him by
some unknown party, residing In the house
No. 279 Magazine street.
A DEMOCRAT reporter investigated the
affair and aseertained that no such man as
John Raby resided in house 2s3 Magazine
street, and further that there is no such
place as -283 Magazine street, the numbers
skipping from 2s2 to 1856. Further that the
house No. 279 Magazine street Is occupied by
a Mrs. West. Mrs. West when questioned,
positively denied that any shots were fired
from her house and she is utterly Ignorant Of
q man named Ruby ever having lived there.
