Dangers Of Swiss Travel.

In the churchyard of Gstelg, says Rev.
W. G. Heathman, two monuments are
erected to the memory of two English
ladies who sacrificed their lives in at
tempting a dangerous undertaking.
Having taken the trouble to copy them,
I insert the inscriptions as beacon to
future tourists: ITO the memory of
Louisa Philadelphia Evelyn Rowley,
aged fifteen years, the daughter of Colo
mel Rowley, of the Guards. and grand
daughter of Admiral Sir Charles Rowiey,
who was killed by fall from the Harder
mountain on the eighth day Of Septem-
ber, 1910. The circumstances under
which she lost her life were as follows:
She had risen only for the purpose of
ascending the mountain alone. In her
progress she passed some foresters at
work, who perceiving she was not ac-
companied by guide, and was entering
upon an intricate path, cautioned her
of danger. She then turned in differ
ent direction, and was not afterwards
seen. Not returning, however, as was
expected, the family became alarmed.
With the help of the woodmen the
rugged sleeps of the mountain were
searched, when her mangled corpse was

These are not the only monuments of
travellers who have met with sudden
death while seeking enjoyment in this
country. There is one to the memory
of Charles Stewart, aged eighteen, son of
Major General Stewart, who was drowned
on the 3Oth July, 1885, while bathing in
the river Aar. And another, to the
memory of William Dutton, ESQ.,, of
Bilbury House, Worcestershire, aged
twenty-three. He was killed while
uniting the chamois on the Blumlis
glacier. His gun, which was carried by
his guide, by the breaking of its sling,
fell, and as it rolled down the rocks botn

Talma, the Greatest Of French Actors.

fleury, who had been an eyewitness
of his early successes, and who, from the
political antagonism formerly existing
between them, can certainly not be
deemed an over-partial Judge, thus
speaks of him in one of the concluding
chapters of his memoirs: "Talma in-
vests modern tragedy, which is in itself,
only form of shadow, with reality; for
without him it would not exist. Nova
days, the tragedian is no longer the in
terpreter of the poet; the latter merely
furnishes the sketch which in the artists
hands becomes picture. With such in
sufficient materials at his command,
Talma has, during the last twenty years,
in my opinion, performed Miracles" A
still more graphic description is that
given by Macready, in a passage from
his diary dated 1922: "The genius of
Talma rose above all the conventionality
of schools. Every turn and movement
as he trod the stage might have given a
model for the sculptor's art, and yet all
was effected with such apparent absence
of preparation as made him seem utterly
unconscious of the dignifed and grace
full attitudes he presented. His voice
was flexible and powerful, and his
delivery articulate to the finest point
without a trace of pedantry. 4 His
object was not to dazzle or surprise by
isolated effects the character was his
aim-he put on the man, and was atten-
tive to every minutest trait that might
distinguish him. To my judgment he
was the most finished artist of his time
| not below Kean in his most energetic
displays, and far above him in the re-
finement of mis- taste, and extent of his
research; equaling Kemble in dignity,
unfettered by stiffness and formality." !"
This accomplished actor occasionally
visited London, and treated the amateurs
of that metropolis to a taste of his
quality, by performing selections from
his most popular pieces in company with
Mile. Georges. He was an intimate
friend and great admirer Of John Kem-
BILE, and was present, not only at the
tragedian's farewell appearance, but also
at the dinner subsequently given in his
honor. He spoke English fuently, but
with strong accent; that he could write
it perfectly is evident from the letter
quoted in Mr.. Raymond's memoir of
Elliston, in acknowledgment of hand
some Roman sword sent to him by the
Drury Lane manager. This epistle was
highly interesting, and expressed with
equal elegance and correctness. In
private life he was thoroughly amiable,
fond of society, and entirely free from
| pretension. Once off the stage ne was
no longer the actor, but the polished
and genial man of the world, eager to
oblige others, and never happier than
when it was in his power to serve them.
Generous and open-handed to excess,
he was far more disposed to squandeI
than to hoard; and through his reckless.

stances. eff my tastes were as expen-
sive as yours" one day remarked his
wife; eff 1 wished for diamonds and
brilliant eqpipages, what would you

were likely to be still more in debt than
we are now"

Lady Lamb and Lord Byron.

There are many accounts of the insane
passion of Lady Caroline for Lord Byron,
but we think the best and most authen-
tic account is that given by Rogers
Several women were in love with
Byron, but none so violently as Lady
Caroline Lamb. She absolutely besieged
him. He showed me the first letter he
received from her, in which she assured
him that, if he was in any want of
money, all her jewels were at his SER
vice. They frequently had quarrels;
and more than once, on coming home,
I have found Lady Caroline walking in
the garden, and waiting for me, to beg
that would reconcile them. When she
met Byron at party, she would, if
possible, return home from it in his
carriage, and accompanied by him. /
recollect particularly their returning
to town together from Holland House.
But such was the insanity of her passion
for Byron, that, sometimes, when not
invited to party where he was to be,
she would wait for him in the street till
it was over! One night, after a great
party at Devonshire House, to which
Lady Caroline had not been invited, 1
saw her-yes, saw her-talking to
Byron, with half of her body thrust into
the carriage which he had just entered.
In spite of all this absurdity, my firm
belief is that there was nothing criminal
between them. Byron was at last sick
of her. When their intimacy was at an
end, and while she was living in the
country, she burned. very solemnly, on
sort of funeral pile, transcripts of all
the letters which she had received from
Byron, and copy of miniature (his
portrait) which he had presented to her !;
several girls from the neighborhood,
whom she had draped ia white gar
ments, dancing round the pile, and sing
ing song which she had written for the
occasion, Burn, fire, burn etc., etc. She
was mad; and her family allowed her to
do whatever she chose" On the 18th of
July, 1924, Lady Caroline was driving
in an open carriage, when she met a
funeral procession. On demanding the
name she was told it was Lord Byron's.
The effects of this shock were lament
able. In 1928 she was seized with a
serious illness; after Mr.. Lambs return
from Ireland she fingered only few
days.-ISmpLe Bar.

Fight With an Indian Devil.

On Thursday last, says the Portland
Me- Press, Mr.. J. L. Ingraham and son,
c. West Camden, Me-, discovered the
track of a wild animal leading toward
Ragged Mountain, in the northern part
of Camden. They at once put the hounds
on the track, and followed them. After
following the track about two miles they
caught sight of the animal, which proved
&c be an Indian devil of the largest size.
Being excellent marksmen, and not in
any way daunted, they took different
routes to cut him off before he could
reach the heavy growth of timber that
lies on the top of the mountain. They
agreed to meet at point half way up
the mountain, where they expected the
animal would pass. ]. L. Ingraham ar
rived first, and discovered the animal
coming up. Mr.. Ingraham's son follow
ed. Seeing Mr.. Ingraham in his path
the Indian devil turned upon the hound
and a terrible combat followed. The
fight lasted short time only, as the devil
threw the hound in the air about ten
feet. The men did not dare to fire for
fear of killing the dog.
After throwing the hound into the air,
the animal, seeing Mr.. Ingraham's SON
coming up, jumped to the top of high
cliff. The young man at once went be-
low and prepared to fire. The devil
made tremendous leap from the cliff
| to the young man below,-over thirty
five feet The father, seeing nat his
only chance was to kill the Aimal in
his leap, at once fred, breaking one fore
leg. The Indian devil struck the son,
however, tearing his coat in shreds and
| knocking him down. and thew both roll
ed down the mountain together, about
twenty feet. The hound followed and
attacked the animal again.
The devil left the young man and turn
ed on the dog and threw him into the
air again, and the dog struck on ledge
below, nearly dead. Mr.. Ingraham took
the gun his son had dropped in the
struggle and fired. The animal fell o,,
its side, but was still very ferocious
Father and son then took their guns and
struck him until he ceased to move. HIS
measured five feet, and looked very
much like an American panther.
