THE TOMB OF PocAHoNTAs.

Bevord these Woods OF Shorne" we
come 10 a grand park, thousand acres or
more in extent. full of old oaks under
which are browsing herds of deer. and
| through The park a long avenue Of stately
elms stretches IN a straight vista to an an
| Gent hall. This is Gotham Hall and Park,
belonging TO Lord Darnley. We may re-
| member that il is described IN "Pickwick
| PAPERS" where Mr.. Pickwick, Mr. Wrinkle
and Mr.. Snodgrass pass it going 10 the
/ Leather Bottle Tavern.
Soon We are I'm Gotham village and arrive
| a. the same Old Leather Bottle Tavern.
We pass through a narrow hall, and are
ushered into a dark. low ceilinged room.
/ Here Dickens used 10 sit and study the
guests. How many of his unique charac-
tiers must have passed all unconsciously
under his deep-seeing gaze in this old
room. for he would make notes as he sat
In silence. Here. too. he made the Pick
wick Club 10 meet. The walls of the room
are now adorned with Cruikshauk's quaint
sketches Of D.ckens's characters. with
newspaper prints and articles of the time,
and with many portraits Of Dickens and
his family. Strangely enough, the only
two pictures in the room not relating to
Dickens are portraits Of the American ac-
tress Mary Anderson.
Before We leave the inn. we write our
names in the visitors book. It is grow
ing late. ard we hurry back. II is still a
beautiful walk. and after five miles We are
again i'm Graveseud. Entering the town by
the Pelham road. we come 10 the White
Post Tavern. and must pause to contem-
plate another spot of interest. Beside the
tavern is a little rectangular yard well
covered WIKI grass and surrounded by a
flower border. In the middle is a circular
flower bed filled with white tulips, with a
solitary rose bush In its center. Nothing
further marks this spot, and few know thct
IL mas a special interest; yet under that
sod is the tomb OF Pocahontas.
In the parish register of old ST. Mares
Church. which once stood there, is en-
tered:

The House Committee on Privileges and

O'Clock in room No .. for the purpose OF
considering the election contest OF W. +.
Davis against Carter II. Harrison. for
the seat In the House from the city of
Manchester. and the counties OF Chester
field and Powhatan. In the absence OF
Mr. Randolph Harrison. the chairman,
Major Baker =. Lee. OF Elizabeth city,
presided.
Mr.. q. NJ. Wallace. counsel for W r..
Davis. the contestant. brieny stated that
the evidence to be submitted by him
would show Irregularities In two pre-
cincts. in the third ward Of the city OF
Manchester, and at Smiths Cross Roads,
Powhatan county. II wauld be shown
that at the third ward I'm Manchester

or eight ballots. which he distributed to
voters supposed 10 be those OF the party
OF the contestee. which were made out
outside of the polling booth.

Of election had been sworn in by one
OF the candidates for the seat I'm the Sem

crowds OF voters. who stood fifty-five
steps from the gate Of the place where
the votes were cast, while ne law pre-
scribes that they shall not come within
a hundred steps from the place. Mr..
HObson then gave advice 20 the voters.
how they were to prepare their ballots
and he also prepared tickets for voters
who were not qualified to vote.
Senator Flanagan. who represented the
cOntestee Mr. Carter II. Harrison. stated
that his client. who was the defendant.
would of course stand on the election re-
turns and his certificate. The evidence
TO which counsel Of contestant referred.
did not contain any statement as 10 the
delivery OF tickets TO Richardson and
nothing was said in regard to any charge
as alluded 10 by counsel by contestant.
He said the evidence would fail 10 prove
any % the allegations and Il did not con-
tain a shadow OF a charge that there
was any wrong going on at the two pre-
cincts mentioned. If IL had really Oc-
CURED yet not the least charge Is made
