LETTER FROM THE q, g. MINIS
TER IN LONDON.

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
London. Feb. S. 1856.
HoN. NORMAN Buck Your. of
Jan. Is, 1886, touching the so-ealled
LAwrence-Towneley or Chase Towneley
estate is received Hundreds of similar
letters reach me from many parts Of the
United States.
The "estate' is variously represented
- consisting Of eight hundred millions
Of dollars in the Bank of England, or Of
four hundred thousand acres of land 10
England, or both, which await dlstribu
ton among American heirs, and it is as
serted that an Act of Parliament to pro-
vide for the distribution passed in Au-
gust last.
All these statements are gross false
hoods, intended to obtain money from
the credulous under prctense Of prosecut-
ing their claims.
Thsre is no money in the Bank Of
England belonging to the Lawrence
Townelsy," or "Chase- Tcwneley," or
"Towneley" estate, or to any claimant
under either.
There is no such estate 10 England as
the "Lawreuce-Towneley," or "Chase-
Townsley" estate. Nor any known fam
ily Of that designation.
The "Towneley estate is landed
property Of ab"u. $4,000 acres in the
counties Of Lancaster and York, which
is now, and has been for very long
time, in the possession Of its lawful own.
era. Their title is completely protected
BY tho law Of England. There are
no unknown or American owners of an,
part Of the property. Aud no ground
whatever for any such claim.
The Act Of Parliament above men,
TONED has no reference to any division u
this estate among American claimants OF
heirs. Tho names Of Lawrence or Of
Chase do not occur 10 it. 1t is an act t.
adjust the equities airing under certain
successive marriage settlements and other
conveyances, executed at various times
between 1886 and 1877, III favor Of the
penons therein named. An amicabl.
suit in Chaucery is being conducted for
this purpose, among the parties in inter
ct. And by direction Of the Court th,
Act was obtained in aid of its decree.
The assertion, advertised iu the United
State,, that the Act affords an op
porunity, OF that there is any other o.
portunity. for the prosecution Of AN, ri.
can claims to the property, is false.
The Legations cannot furui.h copies OF
the Act. or receive remittances therefor

IL IA creating general dissatisfaction
among the members Of the alliance and
II the alliance as an organization does
take that step in my opinion II VIII be
the cause OF sure defeat TO the candidates
nominated, and thereby weaken our Ell
forts to accomplish our purposes. Inc
alliance was organized and chartered by
the state of Texas as non-political or
ganjsation. and has by resolutions
adopted at several state alliances de-
clsred "That we are non-political, and as
such will take no part or lot as an organ
ization In nominating candidates Tor
office"
And in my opinion, II the alliance does
become a political organization, that
will be sufficient cause for the arrest oil
the charter Of the Grand State alliance by
the authority who issued II, thereby dis
solving our order. While it is the duty
Of members OF the alliance as well as the
members Of every other order to take
deep interest ia politics, must confess
that do believe that II will be for the
best interest Of this order and the general
good TO exercise that duty In common
with the masses OF the people, and in a
public and individual capacity, and not In
a secret organization, any more than we
would as Masons or members of other
secret societies. Precedent has clearly
proved that wherey and wherever
secret orders have become political 1t has
been the cause OF their down all and ruin,
and that such will, under SINH ar circum-
stances, be the fate OF the alliance. We
certainly have good reason to believe. |

A MYSTERY.

Life held in her hand measure,
And swung it lightly and low,
And she said; l will see If my pleasure
Do not outweigh my Woe
And she gathered all stingless laughter
All loves that were lasting and sure,
All wealth that was wingless and pure;
She gathered all sunlight and starlight,
All thornless and faded flowers;
She gathered the faint light and far light
Ofpangless and perfect hours;
She gathered all glimpses elysian
That never had blasted the soul,
All hopes that had held to fruition,

The shawl is to an Irish woman what
the blanket is to an Indian. 1t is both an
ornament and necessity, and is invariably
worn over the head. Indeed, could count
the bonnets and hats I have seen in County
Donegal. Shoes and stockings they have
not. Since the introduction of the knit
ting industry radical change has taken
place in the dress and appearance of the
women. The work demands a certain
amount of cleanliness of person. Their
black hair is combed and braided, and none
of them are satisfied with anything short
of proper skirts and tidy cotton gowns.
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH SECURE THE
PROFITS.
One feels contempt and disgust on view
ing the bales of beautiful handiwork pro-
duced by these poor girls, who work all
day for six and ten cents per day, on pric-
ing the same articles in the shops of Eng
land and Scotland, to say nothing of the
United States. The purchaser must pay
more shillings for the articles than the
maker has received pennies. The enor-
nous profits go to build up large Scotch and
English houses and to fill the purses of
middle-men and commission agents of all
kinds
Another bugaboo everlastingly held be-
fore these simple-minded people by those
who grind them down to pittance of ten
cents day is the United States tariff.
To hear the peasants talk one would imag
inc the tariff was 5000 per cent, but would
be disabused, l think, when they found
that almost as much is extorted for tine
articles in the retail shops in England as in
the stores of New York and Philadelphia.
What is needed is direct communication
with the United States. There is no rea-
son why enterprising American firms should
not utilize this really intelligent labor by
the agency system. By dealing directly
with these people they could afford to pay
trife more for the work and the goods
ought to be put upon the market direct
(that is not via English and Scottish
houses) at cheaper cost to the consumer,
Especially is this the case in muslin work.
A large share of the finest grades of this
kind of work goes to the United States and
is sold in our large cities as "French" en-
broidery, every stitch of which has been
made by the poor peasants of Ireland, who
are able to earn at it about 623 to 75 cents
per week-working twelve and fourteen
hours per day. Some of this work is ex-
quisite and is excelled by that of no nation
in the world. Why should not Ireland
have the credit for this work
