wall. abe was enabled 10 descend into
that vault. and therefrem she obtained
a skull. which she declared to DO Lord
Byron's. and which she scrsped and
polished and made perfectly white,
and kept always beneath her pillow.
IL was her request, often made to
the sexton. that she might be buried In
tho church-yard close to the wall OF the
poets tomb. "When at last she died, "
said John Brown, "they brought that
skull 10 roe, and buried it up there in
the ground. 1t was one OF the loose
skulls from the old vault She thought
il was Byron's, and it pleased her TO
think 80. / might have laid her close to
this wall. don't know why l didn't"
In those words the sections story
ended. 1t was emily one more OF the
myriad hints OF that romance which the
life and poetry Of Byron have 80 widely
created and diffused. I glanced around
for come relic OF the place that might
properly be taken away; there was
neither an ivy-leaf blooming upon the
wall nor q single flower growing IN all
that ground, but into a creviee OF tho
rock, Just above his tomb, the wind had
at sone time blown little earth, and IN
this few blades OF grass were thinly
rooted. These I gathered, and still pos

Byron's grave.

fishery question. which makes the report
appear very bslisvable. 1t is recalled
that early in January the report
of his marked attentions 10 Miss
Endicott had already aroused the be-
lief that friendship was ripening into
an engagement. The announcement
that q marriage would undoubtedly be
the result OF their acquaintance was, GU
riously enough, cabled to Europe, asd
by the time the report came back in
print the rumor was already the topic in
high official circles. The night Mr..
Chamberlain left Washington he called
upon lady in official life to say farewell,
and with some significance, as though
he wished her to draw conclusions, he
said A.: 81 shall return to Washinton in
June. Upon my return / shall make sn
extended tour of the British possessions
and the Northwest. | shall often visit
the United States"
Mr.. Chamberlain is fifty-two years old
and widower. He is q pronounced
success in society, "the glass Of fashion
and the mould Of fern," entirely desti-
tute Of vulgarities which are popularity
supposed to characterize the Radical
politician who has graduated from trade.
Moreover, he is rich, gifted, and elo-
quent. with q knowledge OF and capacity
for affairs which are extraordinary, and
a probable future of even greater emf
nence than he has already achieved.
His bride-elect is daughter Of Massa-
chusetts, cultivated, smisble and bright
ornament Of the brilliant circle in which
she moves. She is greatly admired and
loved in Washington.

atlantic Monthly only about three years
ago.
The novelist is the granddaughter of
William Cabcll Rives, who served bis
country as a Congressman, a senator, and
as Minister to France. and daughter Of
Colonel Alfred Lsudon Rives. This
gentleman. who was a godson OF Laiay-
cite, was born in Paris, where he was
educated to the profession OF civil
engineer. he was married in 1861 TO a
local beauty, a granddaughter Of Bishop
Moore. Ameie's early life was spent
for the most part at Castle Fill, Abe
raarle county, Virginia, the seat OF her
grandfather, who died when she Was
four years old. She continued to live
at Castle Hill two years after this event,
her father being occupant OF the pro-
perry. After that time her home was at
Mobile, Alabama. with long visits 10
Virginia. Her residence now is ut the
ancestral home, where she reads and
writes much, producing fiction and
poetry, perhaps too literally, snd giving
her thoughts powerful expression on
canvas. She maintains vigorous health
by systematic exercise, delights in horses
and dogs, and spends her iie in surely
pleasant interchange Of literary work
with the robust reereations OF country
life.
Miss Rives's published works include
"a Brother TO Dragons, "Ihe Farricr
Lass o. Piping Pebworth," "Nurse
Crumpet's Story" "Gfief and Faith, a
poem, aud the "Story Of Arnon."

Players Brotherhood; and last, not
least. he is an illustrious example Of the
scholar in sport, being q graduate Of
Columbia Law School. he is about to
publish a book on the national game,
for which he anticipates great future,
one which he thinks is being largely
promoted by the accession of educated
and gentlemanly men to the professional
clubs.
Ward was born in Pennsylvania. He
learned to play ball while at school, and
in 1877 the Athletics, of Philadelphia,
stumbled across him at Wilmington, Del.
He made his debut Gs a professional
June 80, 1877, in game on the old
Union grounds, Brooklyn, between the
Athletic and Hartford clubs.
In personal appearance Ar. Ward is
rather below than shove the middle
height, and he is strongly built. His
manner is quiet and refined, his CONVEX
sation, which 10 conducted in lew, we'll

and manner suggest the student rather

topics of everyday conversation. His
wife is Helen Dauvrsy, once a celebrnted
actress. Should his cunning as q player
fail him, his friends claim that he would

Luis KiuK OF Portugal.

The student of contemporary history
cannot fail to overlook impending
changes in Holland and Portugal, as
well as in Germany, which will result
from the probably early demise OF the
sovereigns Of those countries. The death
of William Ill, King of the Neither
lands, may be heard Of any day and has
been expected long. Now news is re-
ceived that King Luis of Portugal has
been failing in health for seme time.
He finds it impossible TO attend to the
business of the State and hiss resolved
to delegate to Prince Carlos, tue heir APP
parent, the signing of State documents
and the power of representation of the
King on occasions when the presence OF
His Majesty is required.
King Luis l. is in the prime OF his

whites, and yet not one in five of the
colored men in this township pay one
cent of poll tax.
Under the present system, to pass a
law requiring the roads to be kept up
by taxation, would be equivalent to
saying they should be kept up by
land holders exclusively. Nobody will
say that is just.
First, fix a way to get your money
before you make plans to spend it on
the roads. You remember the famous
receipt for cooking a hare. The most
important item in it was this "First
catch your hare"

voice in this government shall help to
bear the burden Of it's expenses. '..."
He also quotes from Gillespie and
Collins to show, I suppose, that we are
just emerging from barbarism and
feudal bondage. Whether a muddy
road in wet weather is sign of a bar
barous people or not, I shall not
attempt to say, but I do say that in

WAKE Co.aApril "a, 1888.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I wish to thank Mr..
J. F. Cain, Jr., for his article on the
road question. In my opinion he
takes the correct view of it. 1t seems
to me it would be better for. some of
those who are in favor Of keeping up
the roads by taxation to tell us first
how to collect the taaes. Of course there
is no trouble about getting taxes out
of the land-holder; his land is liable to
be sold for them. But how are you
going to collect them out of those
tenants and laborers Mr.. Cain spoke
of, who do not own more than the
$25 worth exempted by law ? If
there is any way to get polltax out Of
such people, the officers in this part Of
the country have not been smart
enough to find it out.
. In the school district in which I
live, there are three times as many
colored children as there Are whites,
consequently the negroes have three
times as much scheel-money as the
