Jenny Lind's Last Public Appearance.

1.-The last time Jenny Lind sang in pub
lie was on July %, 1883, in the Spa, NAL
vern Hills, England" writes Mrs. Ray
mond Maude, daughter OF the Swedish
Nightingale" in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. 1.-THE concert was in aid of the Rail-
way Servants Benevolent fund, and it
was red-letter day indeed to the country
folk who came from all the country round
with the modest eighteen pence, which
secured them standing room. On one of
my walks, during the last sad week I
helped to nurse her, found an old woman
in remote cottage who eagerly asked for
the good lady who was so i'll up there
Upon finding who / was she assured me
that it would have been worth even more
stinting and a further walk to have had
such treat in her old age as that singing"

constant patron Of the arts and the
friend OF every struggling genius. 1t
will always be remem beled to his honor
that he was the warm personal friend and
admirer of Keats, and If it had been in his
power would have changed the face OF tho
world for that stricken young poet.
The Earl of Crewe does not figure in the
social and literary world to the same ex-
tent as his father, but when specially
called upon comports himself with the
most grace and tact.
Three years ago mum Der OF Americans
with literary tastes wished to place in
Hampstead, where Keats once lived, some
sort of monument to his memory. They
had beautiful bust executed, which was
presented by Edmund Day and received
by Edmund Gosse. The ceremony was a
charming affair. Walter Besant gave
luncheon, at which were present Du
Thomas Hardy, Lecky and many others,
among them Lord Houghton, who had
been asked to make speech for his father,
who was then not living.
As he rose to speak one quite forgot
Keats, the occasion-everything except
the physical perfection of the man who
stood there, superbIy tall, of magnificent
figure, Greek face, with regular features,
lovely shadowy, sand-brown eyes, and
long, abundant mustache. Aflerward one
forgot the man in the exquisite taste of
his achievement. He succeeded in en-
tirely oblite-ating his own personality,
and with the most dignifed modesty spoke
quite simply in his fathers name.
Sir Richard Inherited the title of Lord
HoughtoE from his father His uncle,
Baron Crewe, being bachelor, left no
heirs, and his estate and the title also de-
scended to the present Lord Houghton,
who was next in kin.
When very young Lord Houghton mar
ried the daughter of a baron and an ex-
Lady Fitzgerald once say that sitting in
the ladies' gallery of the House of Lords
one day she suddenly looked up and saw
before her young woman whom she
thought the most beautiful creature she
had ever seen; but twhile watching her she
was joined by young peer who was in
every way as beautiful as herself These
were none other than Lord Hough ton and
his wife.
For seven years they lived together the
most perfectly harmonious life. With
tastes absolutely congenial they were di-
vinely happy. Then death came 10 the
lovely Sibyi, and for five years after
nothing could rouse the slightest interest
in the desolated peer. He was left with
three little girls and one boy. Two years
after his wife's death he lost his only son
and heir.
His eldest daughter, still young girl.
is called Annabel. Then there are the
twins. one blonde the other brunette
Lady Cynthia and Lady Celia. The Earl
of Crewe adds to all that education can do
for man vein of original thought and
fancy. He has published volume of
stray verses called From 1880 10 1885,"
which are very well known In London.
One of them, entitled "Seven Years." is a
charming poem and, of course. reminis-
cent of his supremely happy years.-St.

BAZAR.-The Anne Lee Memorial
Association will hold bazaar for the
benefit of that association at Armory
Hall, beginning on Monday, November
%. Contributions of all kinds will be
gratefully received by the lady mana
gers. The object is to raise funds to
rear Memorial Hall, to be called the
Anne Lee Memorial Hall, where all our
southern camps and other organiza-
lions can meet, and where visiting
southerners may be welcomed, and to
have a historical room, where relics
that may be collected can be sacredly
guarded and preserved. The women
of the South feel that as Mary, the
mother of Washington, has been honor
ed by the grateful and patriotic people
of the United States, Anne, the mother
OF Robert f. Lee, should also be so
honored by memorial, which they
and their descendants may revere. The
women of Alexandria have initiated
this work, feeling that it was here she
lived and reared her son until he left
her for West Point, and it was here her
life's work enoed, and no filter spot
could be selected for memorial of her.
