of the richest of Great Britain's noble
men, is among the possibilities of the
coming season.
Lord Rosebery has been here sew
eral times, and there was no expecta-
ton that he would repeat the ex-
perience until it was known that the
beautiful widow of NaylOr-Leyland
was to visit the country of her birth
for the first time since she left it as
Jennie Chamberlain, of Cleveland.
So potent were her charms that she
took London by storm. In few
months after her arrival half the
court beauties of England were green
with envy. King Edward, who was
then the Prince of Wales, made no
effort to conceal his admiration of
her. 1t was His Royal Highness who
made the match between her and Sir
Hubert Naylor-Leyland, an immensely
wealthy man and one of his closest
friends.
She who had been Jennie Chamber
lain then found herself mistress of
one of the half dozen most sumptuous
residences in London-a veritable
palace at Hyde Park Gate, with
marble staircases and a gallery of
priceless paintings.
This happened while Consuelo Van
derbilt was yet in pinafores. The lat
ter was before long to become the
wife of a Duke, but she had millions,
while Jennie Chamberlain had little
besides her beauty.
The Prince of Wales attended the
first ball given by the new mistress
of the Hyde Park Gate house, and
stood sponsor for her first son. The

give it a place in your columns and
let the rising generation see it:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And nothing in the waters below it;
AS a pledge of a nation that's dead and
gone
Keep it, dear captain. and show it
Too poor to possess the precious ore;
And too much stranger to borrow
We issue to-day promise to pay,
And hope to redeem on the morrow
Days rolled by and weeks became years.
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was scarce that the treasury
Quaked
If dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in US was strong
And our poverty well discerned;
And these little checks represented the
pay
We know it had hardly the value of gold.
Yet as gold our soldiers received it;
1t gazed in our eyes with promise TO
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or
pay,
They knew if it brought them their bread
Twas the best their poor country could
do.
Then keep it-it tells our history DER,
From the birth of the dream to its last;
Glorious and born of the angel Hope,
Like our hope of success it passed.

On a recent trip through the South
1 visited the bivouac of the Confeder-
ate veterans at Jackson, Tenn While
looking at the relics my attention was
drawn to an engraving in which were
shown some lines that were copied
from the original that had been writ
ten on the back of SO note of the
Confederate States of America. The
poem was surrounded by a number of
such notes. The gentleman by whose
kindness I had been admitted mount
ed a stool and read the poem for me.
AS he read my mind reverted to the
days of the spring of '65, when / wit
messed the disbanding of the Confed-
crate armies. At the time they were
vending their ways to their homes
and l used to think that some day
they would show the world that they
were Americans still. 1 think that
my dream has come true and has
been proved by the manner in which
they marched under the folds of old
glory in the Spanish-American war.
1 enclose a copy of the poem, which
was sent me by w. F. Alexander, the
commander of the Confederate vet
eran bivouac at Jackson, he having
caused it to be copied by an expert
penman on the back of a $40 Confed-
crate note, so that 1 have received
it as it was first discovered. Kindly
