courtship was entirely out of the usual

coyery OF coal in hills SO steep that they
defed all efforts at cultivation. He was q
widower with one daughter, and nothing
was left undone that money would do for
her. She was worthy of this lavishment
of riches and added the charm of intellec-
tual attachments to those bestowed by ma
ture. As a result the father became pos
sessed Of the idea that there was not one
man in a million worthy of such daugh-

1t will come as surprise, says The
Genealogical Magazine, perhaps even rs a
shock, to most people to learn that there
is a real house of lords in the United
States. 1t is situated in the state of New
Jersey, and its members, although citizens
of the United States, are, at the same
time, vassals of her majesty. Charles ii
gave to his brother James the land which
is now New Jersey and James in his turn
gave the land to IL of his friends with a
deed of grant creating them and their de-
scendants lords.
The lords meet twice every year in Perth
Amboy, in little two roomed house erect
ed ON the site of the first meeting house,
which was erected in 1886. They are sum
moned by crier with bell, dressed after
the manner of IA beefeater. His summons
begins with the usual Hear ye, hear ye,
hear ye--all manner of men to whom these
presents do come-that in pursuance OF his
majesty King Charles, " etc. The lords,
who have been waiting in the outer room,
then proceed to the inner or council cham
Der, where their deliberations are presided
over by the lord president.
