sADDEsT SPOT IN LONDON.
The Little Cemetery of st. Peters,
Chapel, Where Mangled Corpses
Have Been Entombed.

St. Peters chapel at the Tower OF
London, has probably more sad mem
cries than any place in London. 1t
was there that the head and body of
the duke of Monmouth were placed
under rhe communion table after his
execution in 1865. Within four years
the pavement of the chancel was again
disturbed. and hard by the remains of
Monmouth were laid the remains of
Jeffreys. Macaulay. in recording the
fact, wrote an eloquent description of
the chapel. In truth. there is no sad
der spot on earth than that little
cemetery says the Sphere. death is
there associated-not as in Westmin-
ster Abbey and ST. Pauls with genius
and virtue. with public yeneration and
jmperishable renown; not as in our
humblest churches and churchyards
with everything that is most endear-
ing in social and domestic charities
but with whatever is darkest in human
nature and human destiny, with the
savage triumph of implaca bic enemies,
with the INCONSISTENCY. the ingra titude,
the cowardice of friends. with all the
miseries of fallen greatness and of
blighted fame. Thither have been car
ried through successive ages by the
rude hands of jailers, without one
mourner following, the bleeding relics
of men who had been the captains of
armies, the leaders of parties, the
oracles of senates, and the ornaments
of courts Thitber was borne, before
h. do n
ing. the mangled corpse of Guilford
Dudley. Edward Seymour, duke OF
Somerset and protector of the realm,
reposes there by the brother whom he
murdered. There has moldered away
the headless trunk of John Fisher,
bishop of Rochester and cardinal Of
ST. Vitalis, a man worthy to have lived
in better age and to have died in a
better cause. There are laid John Dud-
ley. duke of Northumberland. lord
high admiral; Thomas Cromwell and
earl of Essex, lord high treasurer
There, too, is another Essex, on whom
nature and fortune had lavished all
their bounties in vain, and whom valor,
grace, genius. royal favor, popular APP
plause. conducted to an early and ig-
nominious doom. Not far off sleep two
chiefs of the great house of Howard
Thomas, fourth duke of Norfolk, and
Philip, eleventh earl of Arundel. Here
and there among the thick graves of
unquiet and aspiring statesmen lie
more delicate sufferers: Margaret of
Salisbury, the last of the proud name
of Plantagenet, and those two fair
queens who persisted by the jealous
rage of Henry. Such was the dust with
which the dust of Monmouth mingled"
In a note he adds: Il cannot refrain
from expressing my disgust at the bar
barous stupidity which has trans
formed this most interesting little
church into the likeness of meeting
house in a manufacturing town."

There are about 40, 900 different sur

The late Abram S. Hewitt did not be-
lieve in the stereotyped saw: eff you

He used to say: "My principle of econ

else to do it as we'll" Mr.. Hewitt held
this system to be the trueSt economy
to save himself for the most important
uses. He was of opinion that the great
weakness of Gladstone as political
leader was that he seldom allowed a
subordinate to do anything.
Sir John Forrest, the Australian
statesman. has great record as an ex-
plorer. A few years after entering the
survey department in 1865 he COM
manded an expedition sent into the
interior in search of DR.. Leichardt.
The following year he explored the
shores of the great Australian Blight
from Perth to Adelaide. Later on he
conducted an expedition in connection
with the overland telegraph between
Adelaide and Port Darwin. making a
journey of nearly 1000 miles without
the aid of camels and with horses only.
A biography of King William Nv. of
Great Britain, uncle of Queen Victoria,
was published recently. He spent most
of his life at sea, being in his sixty
fifth year when he became king in
1880. Robert Burns years before had
dubbed him "Price larry Breeks."
His biographer thus describes him:
''Small in stature. burly with forid
sanguine countenance and head shaped
like a pineapple, his majesty was
rough garrulous and diffuse in speech,
bustling in his movements, undeter-
mined in character, without much in
telligence, but with great good nature
and well disposed toward all men,"
He wanted to call himself King Henry
TX, but finally it was decided that he
should be known as William ", this
resolution being mainly due to the
superstition of the English bishops,
who remembered an old prophecy to
the effect that as Henry VIII. had
pulled down monks and cells, so Henry
TX. would pull down bishops and bells"
