no considerable wealth Failing to conciliate
| the lady's father. the young people came to
America and were married at Springfield,
Mas. During much of the latter colo
nial period communication was but little
carried on between the mother country and
America, and the father and daughter never
became reconciled. Lord Townley died, and
the family in England became extinct For
over 80 years the estate was in the hands of
the English authorities, with no claimants,
and might have remained so up to the pres
ent time but for the late war In 1860

on the estate, raised sufficient money to pros

Europe, whittier he went after declining the
position OF Secretary Of the Treasury under
the late President Garfield. Soon after his
arrival in England the Court Of Queens
Bench decided that the claims of the Ameri-

he had given two members of the House of

The Last Great Discovery.

1t has truly been said that the age is
one of important inventions. Never
before in the history of the world-so
lar as we know it-have there been so
many valuable discoveries \ in the
last hall century. With the exception
ofgnnpowder. vaccination, the circula-
lion of the blood, the steam engine and
4 few other %triies, most of the really
magnificent .finds' have been made
in the period named. Rubber over
shoes. patent chewing gum, thrashing
and sewing machines, the telegraph.
the telephone, electric lightning, civil
service reform, mugwumpery, and the
purchase Of Aldermen in job lots all
oelong to this period; and the latest
achievements are by no means the last.
The discoveries of Koch and Pasteur
ind their application as in Spain to
the prevention of cholera, marka very
distinct advance in the science of pre-
serving human life. and open the way
Il further almost illimitable flights in
he same direction.
Perhaps the greatest discovery Of all
5 that which Professor Riley. the en-.
3omologist, has made. This is not
he Riley of whom the poet has spoken
IS the one '.they speak of so highly"
out he is likely in the future to be
|spoken of even more highly than his
5rototype in the poem referred TO.
Like that prototype he is 'doing quite
veil" At a single blow he has strick-
en- starvation to the ground and rele-
gated famine to a back seat IN the con-
yregation Of the worlds errors.
Hunger, hereafter. will have no excuse
ave in the cas of the shipwrecked.
What the Professor has done is real
y very simple, as all the great dis
