present writing-9 p. NJ. He was frightened
nearly out of his wits but insisted upon his
innocence. While majority of the people

In my last letter 1 promised to say
something of the new light thrown
by Mr.. Herbert Joness 'Sandring-
ham" Tin Norfolk, England upon the
visit of Pocahontas to England,
writes Naples correspondent of the
American Register. Sir Thomas
Dale, the governor of Virginia, took
a deep interest in the baptism and
marrisge of Pocahontas, both of
which were celebrated in the little
wooden church of Jamesto~'n 1t IS
this governor who, in letter con
temporaneous with the wedding,
wrote of the Indian wife of John
Rolfe that she dwelt ciyilly and low
lngiy with Ter husband, and the lat
ter he described as an honest gentle
man and good behavior. We must
remember that the word ''cIyllly'
used above meant in the seventeenth
century like civilized person. Three
years after the marriage OF John
Rolfe and Pocahontas THAT Is, In the
beginning of 1915 they went TO Eng
land and the latter was received with
as warm a welcome as her husband.
Not only so. but Mrs Herbert Jones
tells US that the once little Indian
maiden OF the VIrginian forests, clad
In the costume prevailing at that time
In England. was received with much
pomp by the bishop of London, and
was presented at court, James l being
at that time the reigning monarch.
We are further more told that
Pocahontas relishsd the charms of
the coart, the drama, and polite
society; but the climate, and especial
" the smoke and fog OF London,
affected and weakened her health
And so it was determined that they

would return to the new world. Mr..
John Rolfe made all the preparations
for the voyage, and the vessel in
with her husband and their bright
eyed little half-breed son Thomas was
to sail from Gravesend. Arriving at
this port her illness increased. Care
fully and tenderly she was lifted on
the deck of the good ship, which was
on the eve of sailing; but, alas, life
soon fed, and the daughter of
Powhatan died just nine months after
her arrival in England. Mrs. Her
bert Jones, in 'Sandringham Past
and Present." thus concludes the &C
count of her death and burial: ''She
(Pocahontas), who had hoped for
home in the trackless forests of her
own kind, was inappropriately con-
signed to the chancel of mouldy old
church in Gravesend, and even under
went cremation, for that church was
burned to the ground one hundred
years later" After the death of
Pocahontas her husband returned to
Virginia, where he was secretary
and recorded general" of the colony,
but his son educated onder the super
vision of his uncle, Henry Rolfe, of
Norwood. When he attained his
majority he went to America and
married, and left the only daughter.
This daughter married Col. Boiling,
and it is through her that come all
who are real descendants of Pocahon-
tas. The interesting book from which
have CLEANED the above
facts says nothing about the
usual story of the Ran
dolph family in Virginia obtaining
their name by changing "Rolfe" into
Randolph" The usual sensational
story of Capt. Smith being saved by
Pocahontas rushing in between the
uplifted club aud the intended victim
may not be true in every way par
ticularly, but this much is fully estab-
lshed, that from the very first she
was friend to the white men who
first went to Virginia, and that she
became the loving wife of one Of the
EARLIEST and most respectable settlers of
the jamestown colony.

ELEPHANTS AT LARGE.
The Pride of the Menagerie Causes a
Conmotion in n London suburb.

Considerable excitement was occas-
toned recently at KentiSh- town and
Upper Holloway by the breaking loose
of two elephants from the yard of the
Midland railway station, Kentish-
town, where four elephants belong
ing to Messrs. Sanger & Co, had been
conveyed preparatory to being moved
to Gospel Oak. for circus. Between
2 and 3 o'clock two of the animals
broke the gates of the Enclosure and
made their way toward the Archway
tavern, and eventually found them
selves n a cul-de-sac, known as Fran
ces-terrace, Junction road, Upper Hol-
loway. At the bottom of Frances-t ter
race they broke down a wooden gate,
which thus gave them access to a mar
row passage between two houses.
Passing through the opening the fore
most animal slipped upon coal eel
lar, the crown of which gave way
beneath its weight, and it was precip-
itated to the bottom, the second ami
NAL falling upon its companion. Here
che ANIMALS remained imprisoned for
about an hour and half, till the keep
ers arrived with the other two ele-
plants. Chains were attached to the
imprisoned ANIMALS and they were
hauled out of the cellar, and the four
elephants, chained together, were then
conducted to Gospel Oak. A child
was knocked down by one of the ami
mails in Kentish-town soon after its es-
cape, and keeper had his collar bone
broken by being thrown heavily 10
the ground as the animals at first
made their escape.

as he pulled coin out of his pocket
and held it toward the one-legged man
with something of flourish.
Whats it for?" inquired the des
pendent cripple, in tone of surprise.

you'll not spend it for drink"
