not often associated, and yet frequent induiries were made about bOlh by the patrons of lthe grand Hereford musical
 festival, which took place a few days aso. their curiosity on the subject be- ing satisfied by local lads possessing a s.arp eye for pennies. The orange girl, actress and royal favorite was born be- heath the shadow of the square toweC of yhe cathedral which graces ,he left bank Of the Wye. Along a section of Gwynne street, which is q very nar- row thoroughfare connecting Bridge street with the ecclesiastical precincts, runs a high wall, inclosing very fine garden. Upon lhis wall is a p'lte bear ing the following inscription:

 There are few houses in England which are nicer to visit than is Tester, anu very few better hosts than Lord and Lady Tweeddale, for although Lord TweedIale has the reputation Of being an exceedingly cold and stern man, he is nevertheless mos, genial when at home, and the house parties at Tester are celebrated for their chal m- ing character.

LandOr and for the matter of that neither did he meet with his misfor- tunes. Lord Tweeddale is now 74 years of age, but his figure has re- mained stalwart and erect and ne looks about twenty years younger than he really is. A very hard and conscien- tious worker. he would doubtless have taken high office under MT. Gladstone had it not been for home rule, with which he na,ly declined to associate himself.

This 'sTJok" takes the form of a handsome knight, armed ''Cap-a-pie," but most he seems to have taken lit tie or no notice of the beautiful woman who stood calmly surveying him, for he contented himself with merely walking nUrriedIy across the room, ami of disappearing. after the fashion of his kind through a wall or some other convenient msans Of egre,;s of the same sort.
 The marchioness does the hoaors of her home with that delicate "savoir- faire" fer which the women brought up on the continent of Europe are So just ly celebrated.
