:. 1t appears that Lord Byron repeat
edly declared in his letters that the
actual cause OF his separation from his
wife was unknown to him. A brief
recapitulation of such facts as have
transpired will give the reader pretty
correct idea of the unhappy domestic
relations of the great poet:


On the. I'd of January, 1915, Lord
Byron-then in his 9th year-was
united in marriage to Miss Milbanke.
On the 10th of December of the same
year Augusta Ada, their child, was
born. About Blk weeks after Lady
Byron left London on q visit to her
father In Leicestershire, with the un-
derstanding that her husband should
. shortly join her. They parted in kind
ness--nay, in tender affection. On
the journey, Lady Byron wrote him
an affectioDatc and playful letter.


Immediately on her arrival at the
paternal mansion, her father wrote to
Lord Byron to inform him that his
daughter would return to him no more;
and the husband and wife never met
again.


Such, ARE the bare facts in tho case,
and for their explanation we are OBJ
liged to resort to conjecture, and to
glance at the previous history of both
parties. 1


At tho time of his marriage, Lord
Byron was man of fashion, and ad-
dicted to the vices of a man OF fashion
We believe that his errors in the latter
respect were greatly exaggerated; that

Set pitcher Of iced water in room
inhabited, and in few hours it will
have absorbed from tho room nearly
all the rcspired and perspircd gases of
tho room the air of which will have
become purer, but water is utterly
filthy. This depends on the fact the
water has the faculty of condensing,
and thereby absorbing all the gases ;
which it does without increasing its
capacity to contain these gases. At
ordinary temperature pint of water
will contain pint of carbonic acid
and several pints of ammonia. The
capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the temperature to that of ice. Hence
water kept in the room awhile, is al
ways unfit for use and should be often
renewed whether it becomes warm or
not, And for tho same reasons the
water in pump stock should all be
pumped out in the morning before any
is used. That which has stood in the
pitcher over night is not fit for coffee
water in the morning. Impure water
is moro injurious to the health than
impure air, and every person should
provide tho means of obtaining fresh
water for domestic uses.

they would still be taken care Of for
all that. Now, isn't it almost time for
such men as Wilson to quit silly nom

they do, they n,ust be under the mis-

THE BARNUx THEATRICAL CoILAPsH.-The
associated managers who foolishly followed
the lead Of Barnum, the Snowman, have all
come to grief During the last season their
receipts were far below the average, and this
season they do not even pay expenses The
people have grown tired Of patronizing such
inefic cient managers, and the rapid decline and
fall Of the drama is the consequence. The
associated theatres are now occupied with
performances Of the old concert saloon style.
Jig dancing and gymnastic exercises have
taken the place of legitimate acting The
audiences are so poor that few Of these estab-
lshments will be able to keep open much
longer, and unless the leadership of mere
Snowman is discarded, and q genuine theatre

which remain closed will be by far the most

And heap my bed with their dazzling drift

How soundly their lover sleeps below.

The stars shall over me wing their flight;

HEARTS CoNTsNT, Sept. 2.-The
news of the successful picking up of
the Atlantic Telegraph Cable of 1866,
reached here at 45 minutes after six
o'clock this morning. The expedition
with the Great Eastern had been out
twenty-four days, and all hope of sue
cess had been abandoned by the Tele-
graph people here. The news reached
Valentia at 40 minutes past o'clock,
one hour and five minutes before it
was received here. Signals are sent
through the cable with perfect accu-
racy, and we are talking with the
Great Eastern every moment via
Valentia in Ireland. About three
hours after the recovery of the cable
the splice was made with the cable
slowed in the main tank of the Great
Eastern, and the lowering Of the
cablein to the sea Immediately took
place.


The big ship is now paying out the
wire and approaching Hearts Content
ON her return, at about the same rate
and speed she maintained in the for
mer late expedition.
