married Mercy Taylor granddaugh-
ter of the settler. Their son, Richard
was major in the Jersey line in the
Revolution. For services rendered his
country he received grant of land in
the state of Ohio
Elisha Taylor, born in 1885, was an
officer in the army in the War of 1872.
He was intensely interested in the sub
ject of temperance. Total abstinence
from intoxicating liquors was then
new thought He spent ten of the best
years of his life in advocating 1t. For
this cause and for the spread of the
gospel he gave one-fourth of his an
nual income for many years.
Among distinguished members Of
the family are the celebrated divine,
Jeremy Taylor, and, in our own time,
Bishop Frederick William Taylor, OF
Illinois, lately deceased. John Taylor,
born in 1884, in New York, was a
member of Congress uninterruptedly
for twenty years from 1913 to 1888; he
was speaker of the House in the Six
tenth and again in the Nineteenth
Congress. On the admission of Missou-
ri he delivered the first speech ever
made in Congress squarely opposing
the extension of slavery. He was a
man of good judgment and was often
consulted in national affairs by Presi-
dents Madison, Monroe and Adams,
also by Clay, Webster and Everett.
He accompanied Gen. Lafayette
through New England on his last visit
to this country. He was a Phi Beta
Kappa, and delivered before that So
ciety at Harvard College the COM
mencement Grafton in 1927.
Another member of the family who
made a name for himself was Jacob
Taylor He published from 1902 to 1746
an almanac which was the predecessor
of Franklin's Poor Richards Alma
nae" Though it is not SO famous as
that production, it had great vogue at
the time, as the almanac of those days
held the place in popular esteem that
the monthly magazines now occupy,
and was the chief periodical literature
in many homes. Jacob Taylor himself
made the astronomical calculations for
his almanac. There still exist manu-
script records of astronomical obser-
vations made by Thomas Godfrey, the
inventor of the sextant which were
sent to Jacob Taylor for publication in
his almanac.
In the enumeration of Taylors who
have won distinction it must not be
forgotten that one was President of
the United States. Before being called

The girl was adorably lovely. AS a

what crisis might occur in the line of

been.
Haufenstein spoke suddenly.

The ancestor of the Taylor family
was the Norman baron Taillefer. The
lapse in the photography of the name,
changes that almost make it unrecog-
nizable; from Taillefer it became Tay-
lefer, finally Taylor.
Taillefer accompanied William the
Conqueror to England and lost his
life at the battle of Hastings.
Bulwer Lytton, in The Last of the
Saxon Kings" thus describes his
death:
I'm the midst of Duke Williams

gigantic height, and as he rode,
Chanting aloud the lusty strain

"as he rode, and as he chanted, he
seemed beside himself with the joy
of battle; he threw up his sword in
the air, catching it as it fell and
fiourishing it widely as if unable to
restrain the fierce exhilaration.
Putting spurs to his horse he dash
ed forward to the front OF the detach-
ment of Saxon riders and shouted:
GA Taillefer! Taillefer!' and by
voice and gesture challenged forth
some one to single combat.
"A fiery young soldier-thegn, as the
Saxon word gives it-came forth and
crossed swords with him. Taillefer,

sword with incredible rapidly, shore

UGLINESS AND GENIUS.

Mr.. Harry Furniss says in the Wind
sor Magazine: ut is a curious subject
for reflection that in any collection of
clever men the majority are ugly. Ire
land has produced, for it's size, a re,
markable number of great men-sol-
diers, lawyers, scientists, clerics and
orators-a number of handsome men
and a remarkable number of ugly ones.
Baron Dowse was perhaps the ug-
lest. The day his caricature by Pei
legrini appeared in Vanity Fair he ran
out of the House of Commons and left
London the same night-to remain
away until il was forgotten. But it
never can be forgotten, for IL was true
to the life.
Another Irishman, Most Reverend
DIR. William Connor Magee, Bishop of
Peterborough, afterward Archbishop of
York, known as the Chrysostom of the
House of Lords, was one of the most
eloquent preachers of the Victorian
era, a fine debater and one of the most
effective platform speakers of his day.
Like the majority of eloquent men, he
was ugly. His heavy eyebrows, small
eyes, short noes, long upper lip, large
mouth, massive jowl and shaggy side
whiskers, when represented in repose.

head.
I'VE shall probably have as many
anecdotes of Tyndall as we had OF
Jowett; but 1 dare say the following
is not generally known, and it shows
the straining for theatrical effect
which was characteristic of the profess
sor. He was experimenting at the
Royal Institution in preparation for a
coming lecture when a beautiful in
strument he was using fell off the ia
BILE. He vaulted over the table and
caught the instrument before it reach
ed the ground, and was so delighted
with his agility that he practiced that
acrobatic feat all the afternoon, and
brought down the house with it in
the evening, everybody naturally
enough thinking il was pure acct
dent
"Tyndall may well be included in
this gallery to show that am right in
saying that ugly men are often the
cleverest. Professors, being, as
rule, clever men, are naturally not
handsome men. Huxley, for instance
had the very opposite kind of face to
that of Tyndall, and yet in his way
could boast of being nearly as plain"

lands in the tenure of Ospringe, in the
County of Kent, in 1850, and from him
is descended the present line of Tay-
lors.
A John Taylor, in the sixteenth cen
fury, was Lord of the Manor of School
oschurst. His grandson, Thomas, was
created a baron. also his son and
grandson. The latter died unmarried,
and the barony became extinct.
The immigrant ancestor was Ed
ward Taylor, who came over from
London in 1892 and settled in New
Jersey at a place called Carrots Hill,
so designated from the first settlement
of the country, but in later years
called by seamen Pigeon Hill, because
it is a prominent landmark, seen from
all parts of the lower harbor of New
York. 1t is about two miles from the
village Of Middletown.
The Taylor family was related by
marriage to Sir George Carterets pro-
prietor of East New Jersey, and
through him acquired large landed es-
tates in Monmouth and Somerset
counties, New Jersey.
A deed dated Nov. 49, 1851, conveys
from Powark and other Indians to the
Lady Carteret, in trust for Matthew
Taylor and others, a large tract of land
in Somerset county, being in depth
four miles on both sides of the north
branch of the Raritan river. Matthew
Taylor. dying soon after, bequeathed
his share of the property to his broth
err Edward, then living in London. A
few years later he came to this coun-
try and became the progenitor of the
American Taylors.
The old Taylor homestead, built in
1923 by George, son of the immigrant.
still stands in the village of Middle
town, and as late as 1880 was occu-
pied by lineal descendant of the first
settler. The house was then in good
condition, with the old pictured Dutch
tiles in the spacious fireplace.
Edward Taylor. the settler. was "of

name was Catherine, and they brought
five children with them, one, Joseph
