THERE was quite a sensation at the pre-

TIE death of John Day, of D1nebury, sew
ers an almost forgotten link OF the past,
"Cruc cf I" !" "The Hero" "Lord George Ben

think OF him who died last week. A link,
too, he was with past more modern, and,
alas not likely 10 be forgotten-the plung-
ing Hastings era, which brought the turf to
its lowest ebb. John Days life never flowed
in a steady current. One moment he was on
the full tide of success, another in the lowest
d pth of failure and misfortune, and since
the time that the studs of Lord Hastings and
the Duke OF Besuford were sold he has grad
ually drifted out Of mems minds. Danebury,
for years past, has been under a cloud that
could never lift; but a change may take
place and prosperity sgaia attend it with
Tom Cannon, John Days son in-law, estab-

The Archbishop of Canterbury enjoys a
salary of El5,000 per annum, and the two

vastly greater. In the reign of Henry VIII
the annual value OF the See was set down in

residence. Two yeafs before that date Arch
bishop Manners Sutton died, after holding
the archbishopric twenty -four years. When
he died he left four Suttons, each with three
or four church preferences, to most of which
they had been appointed by himself. He
also appointed his sisters husband to four
livings. Ii such scandals are impossible
now it is mainly owing to the reform act OF
1882.
In trial in Germany recently a curious
document wss produced, which was called
forth by the marriage OF the Count of Sclz,
a Roman Catholic, TO Agatha, Countess of
Hanau, PIotes' ant, in the year 1905. AT
the wedding the bridegroom solemnly swore
to aspect his future wife's religious views,
and signed, sealed, and delivered deed to
that effect 1t was couched in the following
terms: Il, Rudolph, Count OF Sulz, hereby
promise on my honor a nobleman-or
NAV the devil take me-that i will allow

will l offer her any inducement in the slight

get her two more. Let her read in them
bravey and industriously. Moreover, it is

brought up from my youth. 1 know that

heaven let her go to hell. Signed, Rudolph

Music hath charms, and SO forth. A

hamovitch by name, is a passionate lover ol

reulh he gave himself up entirely TO his
passion and neglected his wife, Russian
beauty, to an extent that flesh and BLOOD
could not endure, it appears. For while ht
was staying in Paris, not having gone bach
from Beyreuth to Odessa, as a good husband
should have done, be learned that his wife
had fallen in love with her cousin. He hur
