Lady BIessinEtOn

In 1922, my lord and my lady
started upon the graud tour. No
Irish nobleman probably" says a
biographer, "and certainly no Irish
king, ever set out on his travels with
such retinue of servants, with so
many vehicles and appliances of all
kinds for ease, comfort and luxurious
enjoyment" They carried with them
the bdtterie de cuisine which had
served an entire club, and cook who
had been chef to an emperor. Their
tcOnll)dgnOns de UOydge were one OF
my lady's sisters; young Charles
Mathews, whom the earl, out of friend
ship for the father, had offered to take
charge of that he might pursue his
architectural studies in Italy; and a
young French officer, named Count
d'Orsay. At Naples they lodged in the
magnificent Palace Belvidere, over
looking the Bay; but not even the
splendOr of priceless pictures and
marbles could satisfy their love of
magnificence, and large sum was
spent in refurnishing the palace. At
Rome they rented the Palazzo Negroni,
at 100 guineas month, and every
where they were feted and received
by princes, mobiles and literati, in the
most distinguished manner. Several
years were consumed in these travels.
In 1927 we find them, on their
return to Paris, residing in the house
which had belonged to Ney in the
Rue de Bourbon, and which still bore
his name. Although appointed with
all the sumptuousness that distin-
guished the imperial court, the new
tenants added decorations fit only for
prince. My lady's chamber was
marvel of luxury the bed frame rest
ed on the back of two immense silver
swans, so admirably sculptured that
every feather stood in perfect relief, as
in life; then there were lamps of silver
and alabaster, a marble bath inserted
in the floor, hangings of silk and lace,
and bullion tringes. 1t was a luXuri-
Gus place to die in, and for little other
purposes had my lord appointed it.
He had been to London to vote for the
Catholic emancipation, when day or
two after his return, he had an
attack of appopleXy, of which he eX-
pired May %, 1920. "Adieu, most
pleasant of companions wrote
Lander; "Adieu, most warm-hearted
friend Often and long, and never
with slight emotion, shall l think of
the many hours we have spent to-
gether." And in letter to lady
Blessington, the same writer calls him
"that disinterested and upright and
kind hearted man, than whom none
was ever dearer or more delightful to
his friends He left his widow two
thousand year, the lease of the house
in James square, his carriages, and
portion of the plate. The bulk of the
terribly embarrassed by his
extravagances, and by-and-by to be
of under the encountered
estate act, went to his children by his
first marriage. In 1927, he married
one of his daughters to Count d'Orsay.
1t proved most unhappy union; there
was no affection on either side, and
worse still, the Count was passionately
in love with the woman whom he
could not marry.-Belgravia.

but at the same time in condition to
reap the advantage of its improve
ment, and tho chances are, he or she
will be largely the gamer by the trans
action.
We hope our citizens will take II
liberal and dispassionate view of the
question, and while we respect the
views of those who differ from us, and
don't intend to fall out with anybody
on account OF such difference, still we
hope the proposition will be voted on
favorably to the railroad, believing
that its success will inure to the solid
benefit of the city and every person
who has an interest in it.

A New York letter to the Philadel-
phia Ledger says: Gan earnest effort
has been made by prominent Demo-
cratic politicians to persuade General
Hancock to be present at the Tam
many Hall Democratic demonstration
Thursday evening, but it has not been
successful. With commendable good
taste, the General has given the COM
mittee to understand that he is still an
officer of the United States army, and
that, though there might be no impro-
pricty in the Republican candidate for
the Vice Presidency, Gen. Arthur. at
tending the Academy Of Music meet
ing the other evening, to listen to Mr..
COnkling, he being differently circum-
stanced, could not see the way clear to
an imitation of his example,"

MIX as Food.

Unauthorized, undiluted, unskimmed
and properly treated milk, taken from q
healthy COW in a good condition, and pro.
duced by the consumption of healthy and
nutritious grasses and other kinds of food,
contains within itself, in proper proper
tons, all the elements that are necessary
to sustain human life through cOnsidera-
Bile period of time. Scarcely any other
single article of food will do this, When
we eat bread and drink milk we eat bread,
butter and cheese and drink waterfall of
them in the best combination and condi-
ton to nOurish the human system. All
things considered, good milk is the cheap
est kind of food that we have, for three
pints of it, weighing 3 "a pounds, and cost
ing cents, contain as much nutriment as
l pound of beef which costs IS cents.
There is no loss in cooking the milk as
there Is in cooking beef, and there is no
bone i'm it that cannot be eaten it is sim
pie, palatable, nutritious, healthful, Cheap
and always ready for use, with or without
preparation. This is to say that Chemical
lay, 81 pounds of milk is the equivalent of
pound Of beef in heat-prOducing elements
or carbohydrates. We must therefore

Ohio.
New York Herald,

The Democrats having done so much
better than they expected in Maine,
will be encouraged to "carry the war
into Africa" and make u vigorous can
vass in Mr.. Garfield's own State,
where the two parties are very evenly
balanced. In 1876 President Hayes,
majority in Ohio was only 2,747. These
figures are not so formidable that the
Democrats need despair of carrying
the State if they have anything like
the luck which attended their canvass
in Maine. In 1876 Mr.. Garfield was
weaker in Ohio than Mr.. Hayes, as
was shown by the fact that he ran
great deal behind the Presidential
vote in his Congressional District.
The District comprised five counties,
which voted as follows in 1876.

ANTHPODES. - Plato is said to be
the first who thought it possible that
Antipodes existed about 3GS B. G.
Virtue is like precious odors, most
fragrant when incensed or crushed !;

tue Bacon.
Alcoran, the book which contains

Should we really be happy if we
were in this world to enjoy uninter-
rupted prosperity? Icannot think we
should. Constant prosperity would
soon become insipid, and disgust would
soon convert our felicity into absolute
misery. The evils we sometimes expe-
rience enhance the value of our bless
ings, as colors ars relieved by the con-
trasts of shades. The more obstacles
there are to oppose our happiness, the
greater is our joy when we have sur
mounted them.
BLUE STOCKINGS.-ThiS term is APP
piled to literary ladies, and was origin
ally conferred on a society of literary
persons of both sexes. One of the
most active promoters of the society
was Benjamin Stlllingfieet, the dis
tinguished naturalist and miscellane.
GUS writer, who always wore blue
worsted stockings, and hence the
name. The society existed in 1860.
The beautiful and fascinating Mrs.
birmingham is said to have worn blue
stockings at the conversaziones of
Lady Montague; and the popularity
also fastened the name upon accom-
plished women.
Perhaps a more lust aud beautiful
compliment was never paid to woman
than the following, by Judge Story:
ITO the honor, to the eternal honor of
the sex be it said, that in the path of
duty no sacrifice is with them too high
or 100 dear. Nothing is with them
impossible, but to shrink from what
love, honor, innocence and religion re-
quire. The voice of pleasure or power
may pass by unheeded but the voice
of afflictiOn never. The chamber of
the sick, the pillow of the dying, the
vigils of the dead, the affairs of reli-
gion never missed the presence or the
sympathies of woman Timid though
she be, and so delicate that the winds
OF Heaven may not too roughly visit
her, on such occasions she loses all
sense of danger and assumes prefer
natural courage, which knows not
and fears not consequences. Then
she displays that undaunted spirit |
which neither courts difficulties or
evades them that resignation which
utters neither murmurs nor regret;
and that patience in suffering which !
seems victorious even over death itself.

Had Hayes received only Garfield's
vote in Gartield's District, his majority
in the State would have been only
19S. The Republican party has gained
somewhat in Ohio since 1876. Gov

only 1852, but he had a plurality over
Ewing, the next highest candidate, of

CAMPBELL j.,
The new promise was made to Mrs.
Spengler, Il married woman at the time OF
the promise, and who continued such, ana
was Il married woman ut the time of eX-
hbiting her bill, The Statute of Limita-
lions did not run against her after the new
promise. This is the express provision of
Code 1871, Z2l5G, and we are not authorized
to disregard it or explain it away, however
decided may be the conviction that, with
the inyestiturc OF married women with all
the rights of property and remedies pos
sessed by persons SUI jurfS, they should not
have been included among those saved
from the bar of the statute for the limlta-
ton of actions. We have examined the
cases cited by counsel from the reports or
decisions in other States on this sub
ject but feel bound by the unmistakable
statutory declaration that persons under
covertuTe shall not be subject to the opera
ton of the Statute of Limitations. This is
part of the code of statues which coters
rights and remedies on married women,
and can no more be ignored or set aside
than can that part of the Code which de-
clares their rights and remedies.
Decree affirmed.
