ing steel, his horse richly caprisoned, and

Hall while the King and Queen were at

her. A person in the same dress appeared
the next day at the place appointed,

1t has been asserted by some that
Frank Seaman Dymoke could sell
Scrivelsby Court and with 1t the right
to be the Kings Champion But it has
frequently been held by the courts that
no manor held by peculiar tenure from
the Crown can be sold without the Kings
consent, and that If such consent be
given, all rights. privileges, and emolu-

revert to the Crown, ceasing to exist
as appanages of the manor. and could
only be restored by special act of Psrli-
ment, to which body all such ancient
prerogatives Of the Crown have been rele-
gated. Mr.. Dymoke's ancestors have at
various times rebuilt portions of the
manor house, and in 1865. when large
part was destroyed by fire. it was re-
stored to some of its ancient glory. One
part, a small fragment on the east side,
is ssid to be the remains OF the first
mansion, built nearly a thousand years
ago Though no one would dispute the
right OF Mr.. Dymoke to sell the estate.
should the entail be cut off, he would
have no power to sell the title of Kings
Champion, for that would cease to exist.

An Irish Priest. Novel.

Justin Mccarthy in the Independent.
A very decided Impression has been pro-
duced by a novel recently published,
which is called THE Wizards Knot"
The author of the book is the Rev. DR..
Berry, Roman Catholic clergyman, who
had already won high reputation as
novelist, and who has decidedly added to
his repute by this latest of his works.
Dr. Barry's novel was entitled THE
New Antigone,'' and was published,
think, anonymously several years ago.
When it first appeared 1 was spending
part of winter in Algiers and there
were some English literary people enjoy
ing a holiday in the same hotel at the
time among whom was Miss Rhoda
Broughton, whose fame as novelist is as
we'll esta blished on your side of the Az
lantic as on ours. I well remember the
feeling of surprise and admiration with
which 1.-THE New Antigone" was received
by that critical company when somebody
or other introduced the book to them.
1 think we all felt convinced that the lit
erature of fiction had obtained an addi-
ton to its successes. DIR. Barry has writ
ten other novels since that time, one of
which, at least, Arden Massiter,' fully
sustained the promise of his first attempt
and now we have 1.-THE Wizards Knot"
which has created quite a fresh sensa-
ton. This latest novel is, I believe, DIR.
Barry's first attempt to construct story
out of abe social and political conditions
of his own country, for DR.. Barry, as his
name would suggest, is a fellow country
man. of mine. \
A"The WIZARDS Knot is tale Of the
Irish famine of 1S4s and 1s47. 1t is not
story of present life, for the most part,
but a weird and powerful romance, the
scenes of which are laid more often in
the castle than in the cottage. It is a
strange combination of Imagination and
of realism of gloom and glare, of passion,
fatalism and keen, humorous observation.
DR.. Barry has the secret of creating for
his stories their fitting and peculiar at
mosphere.
The story is, indeed, melancholy and
somber on the whole but ii has its bright
passages and is lighted by many a ray of
genuine humor. The young peasant girl
whom an adverse fate compels to be the
heroine of the tale is described with ten
der grace, and the so-called wizard is
creation of genuine comedy which carries
pathos in its fun and human nature in its
Oddity,

From the London Telegraph.
The report that one pillar had fallen
and another was giving way at Westmin-

foundations were subsiding. and that the
Abbey was in danger Inquiry made on
the subject, however, showed that it was
not a pillar which fell, but one of the
ornamental shafts between the windows.
only few inches in diameter. Asked as
to the cause, the clerk of the works re-
pled: well, We have had 800 more
years experience than the builders had
who fixed that up, and we should not do
1t in that way now" He dispelled the
idea that there was any danger to the
fabric, or any indication of the founda-
lions giving way. II was simply one Of
those things which was sure to happen
sooner or later in a building which had
so much decorative stonework about 1t.
The shaft. which was of Purbeck mar
BILE was shattered, as 1t fell distance
OF fifteen feet. but 1t can readily be re-
placed The Norrey's tomb. which was
injured, can also be repaired so that the
damage will not be noticeable. The
that the accident was not regarded by
the Abbey authorities as one Of any great
consequence. He did not think that any
other falls were probable, and he denied
that a second shaft or pillar had been
shored up. There had been nothing Of
the kind within his knowledge and II
might. he said. be fifty years before any
thing else fell, though, considering the
age OF the building, 1t was surprising
that so little had given way.
