.BAYARD'S VISIT TO LEWES.
THE AMBASSADOR DESCRIBES 1T IN A
LETTER TO Mr.. TUNNEL.

Lewes. Sussex County. England, Com
pared with Lewes, SUSSEX County, Della
ware-Its History Runs Back More
Than 1 900 Years.
Ambassador Dayard recently visited
Lswes, Sussex county, England, says the
Delaware Pilot, OF Lewes, aud while
there collected a number of views Of the
town and surrounding country, which he
forwarded TO E. w. Tunnel, with the
following description of the place:
"Lewes in the county Of Sussex is one
of the ancient Saxon boroughs and
market towns. IL is about fifty miles
southeast from London and eight miles
from Brighton. The name Lewes Is
supposed to be derived from the Saxon
Lsswa, signifying pasture. It Is the
eastern extremity Of the South Downs,
which to-day are the pasture grounds
Of vast focks Of sheep, the famous breed
Of South Downs.
81 rode for many miles over
these downs In the mSist green grass,
passing many hocks, each guarded by
its shepherd with his collie dog in atten-
dance. The present town contains
10 600 inhabitants, aud lies In an
amphitheatre Of chalk hills, rising more
than 800 feet around It. The river
Ouse runs by the town aud is nsvigable
from the sea.
''Tbe history of the town runs back
more than 1,000 years, as is sttested by
the Ronan mounds. roads and fortihca'
tions. Excavations have disclosed
skeletons and fragments Of antique
weapons, amber beads, coins aud domes'
tic utensils There appears to DO NO
distinguishing Industries in the place,
but frequent and large fairs are held At
which sheep and cattle are disposed OF in
large numbsrs. There is a hne race
course with a course Of four miles, aud
the town is we'll paved and lighted,
with some very interesting old houses,
and many handsome modern residences.
Nothing can exceed the peaceful re-
pose OF the valley farms with their com
/ Portable homes and extensive farm build
ipgs. round which the downs roll like the
waves Of the ocean, and the contrast be
tween the deep soft Verdure and the
white chalk cliffs Is very striking ane
cannot be rendered by photograph. II
Is difficult to imagine In such tcenes The
bloody wars between Saxon snd Dane
and later between Norman and Saxor
which took place here. In 1864 san
culinary battle was fought here between
Henry III and the Earl Of Leicester II
which the latter was finally victoriou
and IL is said that not less than 900
men we're killed and buried on the fell
where they fell.
Now in the place Of slaughter are cots AM
sheep folds seen,
And rows Of oaks and fields OF grain an
apple orchards green.
The fisher plies his angle and the hunte
twangs his bow,
Little they think on the brave limbs tha
monlder deep below,
Little they think how sternly that day th
frumpets pealed,
| How In the slippery swamp Of blood warrior
and warhorse reeled.
But l close this very imperfest sketc
which is meaut for my fellow-country
men and friends In Lewes, Delaware, 70
over the Atlantic, who will, think, b
interested in anything which relates
the home of their ancestral origin.

Do Not Change "Cuipeper Court House

The United States Government, SAYS
the New York Sun, is doing what it can
by precept and example to bring order
OUT Of the chaos OF geographical names in
this country. One source of confusion
in the South is the not uncommon cuntom
of giving r county seat two names. One
may be anything, the other is usually
the name of the county, with G. H., for
Court House, attached. 1t grew up,
doubtless. in times when the county
seat consisted solely of the Court House.
The United States Government seeks ia
drop the initials c. d. and to adopt one
or the other name alone in the cases OF
such county seats. 1t would bea Yity,
however, TO alter in any way the historic
Culpeper Court House.
