elle THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C WITH LADY BYRON. Mrs, Southworth’s Memorable Visit to the Poet's Widow eel IN THELASTYEAR OF HER LIFE ene Simple Lunch and Tete-a-Tetc—A Last v Sympathy With “a Roty in A Big Box tor John Brown's Widow— A Lasi Farewell. —~———— Written expressiy for Tam Evextxe Stan N June, 1859, I was in Loudon with letters | of introduction, the most valued of which was one from Mra. Harriet Beecher Stowe | to Lady Byron. Now, the prospect of a presontation to Queen Victoria or to the Empress Eugenie would not have interested me nearly so much as the au nof a meeting with the poet's widow. Queen and empress were realities of the world worldly; but “Anne Isabella, Lady Nocli Byron” (for such was the inscription under the picture of the beantifal woman that formed the fron’ Piece of the first volume of Byron's poe had ever seen) belonged to the realm of poetry the world of sou! in which I had met Dante's Beatrice, Petrach’s Laura, Tasso’s Leonora and all the “loves of the poets.” I felt like one in adrenm when I found my- self before St. George's Terra a row of three- story brick houses near Kegents P: The door was opened by a trim young man, not in livery, but neatly dressed im black like a stu- dent of divinity, who in answer to my question said that Lady Byron was at home, opened the door on the right, showed me into a small re- ception room, took my card and letter and dis- appeared. I had scarcely time to observe that ths eens was chady and ‘ump!y titted up when the footman returned aud asked me to walk up. I followed the clerical-looking young man up- stairs and into a front drawing room com- fortably but not elegantly furnished. It was vacant, Ihadno sight or thought, however, to give to surroundings. I was watching for— thinking of—her only whom I had come to see. I bad “un my mind's eye™ the image of a lady, tall, stately, queenly, richly arrayed. HOW LADY BYRON LOOKED. Thad but just seated myself when a door leading from the rear room opened and Lady Byron entered—a small woman, piump, fair, blue-eyed, silver-haired, simply dressed in a black silk gown plamly made, a shaw! of black China crape and a widow's cup of fine black and white lace resting lightly above the little silvery curls that brightened rather than haded her smooth forenead. She came for- ward slowly. feebly, but holding out her hand small, fair hand—and smiling as she greeted me, and said something about her dear friend, Mrs. Beecher Stowe, and how pleased she was to see a friend of hers. Any betrayal of emotion is considered very “bad form” in good society, so | hope and trust Idid not show what I felt when I clasped the hand Lord Byrou had so often pressed! Past and present, material and spiritual seemed to meet and mingle there, as the poet's widow sat down with me on the sofa. talked of Mrs. Stowe, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin n poli- tics and the rising storm cioud that was soon to break over our land. In the midst of this the communicating doors between the two rooms opened and a grave, miuisteriai-looking man appeared and said in a low voice: “My lady is served.” Lady Byron turned to me, smiled and eat “You will lunch with me? It seemed like being asked to lunch with Leonora d’Fste! But I was younger then. MINISTERIAL-LOOKING DOMESTICS. Lady Byron rose and drew my hand under her arm and led me into the next room toa small, round table daintily laid fortwo. We sat down opposite each other. The ministerial- jooking man whomI tock to be the butler stood at the back of her ladyship’s chair. young mau who looked like a student of divin- ity was aiso in attendance. Both of these serv- ants were clothed in biack without sign of livery, which is almost a so! among the servants of the upper Great Britain. Ina subsequent conversation Lady Byron told me that she never required her domestics to wear any badge of servitude. I mention this as a characteristic of Lady Byron's delicacy of feeling. To return: ‘A clear white soup was the first dish. get before the hostess and she herself served it, filling a plate, handed it to the footman, who placed it before me. When the soup was removed the reverend-iookiug butler solemnly filled our glasses from a siecanter of pale sherry and then piaced a dish with a boiled fowl before bis mistresa She carved it and the young footman passed the plate as before, it was Just then my h 3 smiled and said: “This is really my dinner. My physician directa me to take my principal meal in the middle of the day, so | aine at 2.” The dessert consisted of delicate syllabubs, whipt creams, jeliics, fresh strawberries, dainty cakes and coffee. These,” said my hostess, smiling, and in- dicating the frurts and cream, “come from my little place in the country. They are brought up fresh from the garden aud dairy every morning. It was DISCUSSING SLAVERY. After we had returned to the drawing room and resumed our seats on the sofa our conver- sation reverted to the subjects that had been diseussed before Lady Byron put some questions tor regard to negro slavery in the United States and inquired whether I tion on that subject been familiar with a8 my forefathers for xeucrations, she i that I would i When I told her that i t the institut vm in! and foremothers bad b grew more : tell all tha’ I reply essential wronus 0 ie no one could deny the avery even where the ma- terial condition of the slave was improved by it, yes justice constrained me to deciare that protection and affection between master and | slave was the general rule, and crucity and hatred the rare exception.

Irwas not the position of the Owner, it was the uature of the man, that made the good or bad master. LADY BYRON'S KINDNESS TO WER sArD. We were here interrupted by the entrance of e pleasant-looking matron, neatly clothed ina light calico gown aud wearing @ widow's—not a wervant’s cap. “Well, Watson?" Lady Byron said kindly. If you piease. my lady, 1 would like to go oat for an hour.” -aid the women in the low, soft tone in which every one in the house seemed to speak. *Lake the whole afternoon, Watson. I shall A bad master the other the mistress, And it was not the kindness so much as the courtesy with which she spoke to ber domestic that uupressed me. When the woman had withdrawn Lady Byron said: ‘I have « deep affection for Watson. I have cause to be very gratefui to her. She was my daughter's maid, devoted to her during her long, trying illness, She shall stay with me as long as I live. (Lady Byron's daughter and oniy child, Ada, Countess of Lovelace, after a painful and tedious illness, bad died a few years before.) Presently she took up a book from a stand near by and inquired if I had read Miss Muloeh's “‘A Life for a Life?” I had read it aad ler so. “But not the last edition, probably, for it is jast out,” she said. inquired if there was any material dif- ference. She replied that she thought there was an essential one. W SHE INFLUENCED MISS MULOCH. ‘An improvement that I suggested to Miss Muloch, though to be just.” she added with a smile. “I only counseled her to be true to her ns Tj} ihe» other, husband, father, neigh- | first inspiration, for it was her own first in- Spiration, though she had not the moral courage to follow it out.” Of course I was interested to know more, She again took up the book from the table, turned the leaves and found her place and said “In the author's manuscript where she re- lates her hero’s confession of his crime, the ng of his deadly enemy by throwing him from the carriage on the road, she made him say: ‘I killed him. I intended to kill him!” on she feared to pnint the sin of her re- pentant sinner in such dark colors, so she aitered the sentence,and in the firsteditionof her story the sentence reads: ‘I killed him! I did | sos intend to kill him! When Miss Muloch told me about this I said that the lesson she meant to teuch wae lost by her failing to fol- tow her first inspiration. There was not much significance in the remorse of @ man who had not intended to kill his deadiy foe. My friend agreed with me, and in this edition of her work her first writing is restored aud the sentence reads: ‘I killed him! I in- tended to kill im! This reading only could expiain the life-long anguish of remorse, the life-long bitter expiation vf him who had yielded to an impulse of murderous rage, and this only could carry the losson intended to go to the heart of the most hopeless penitent as well as to the consciousness of the most arro- gent Pharisee.” These words. or words to this effect, Lady Byron spoke with deep earnest- ness, She pomted out the passage im question and gave me the book. Something led to the mention of Brighton. Itold her that 1 had come from Brighton that morning, and had left my children there, so I shouid baye to secure « train from London Bridge before night. “From Brighton,” she said. “I nave a dear friend living in Brighton, Dr. King, who was ouce my daughter's tntor in mathematics, and who is deeply interested in all questions of human advancement, I will Write to him to call on you there.” I thanked my hostess and then she went into some reminiscences of Brighton as she had known it im the reign of George IV, of the court balls she had attended there in her youth, &e, “But,” she added, “I am glad in the queen's reign that gay palace has been converted into a museum and library for the general public. All the people who please to avail themselves of it have its benefits.” Presently J rose to leave. LEADING A QUIET LIFR. She regretted that I should have ao far to drive to reach the station. ‘This is almost out of town,” she added, ‘but I find the distance a ‘sifter, for only those who really care for me ever come through.” As she shook bands with me at parting, ehe said: “I am sorry my grand- doaghter has not been with us today. Anna- bel is a tine young woman and passes much of time with me. She likes concerts and lee- tures, which are out of her reach when she is at home im the country and which she can only enjoy when she comes to me. Come and see me whenever you can. I am an invalid and can seldom go out now. Iwish I could for your sake,” she kindly added, as she warmly pressed my hand and let me go. Lady Byron must have led a very retired life during these last few months of her earthly pilgrimage, for, often as I wont to see her daring that summer and autumn, I never found her absent from home or with any com- pany except her granddaughter, Lady Anne Is- abella King, her dear ‘Annabel,” whom she had described as a “fine young woman,” And certainly. if health, beauty aud intelleot con- stitute a fine young woman, she was one, A MEMORABLE OCCASION. But my last visit to Lady Byron, the last time Lever saw her, wason a memorabie oc- casion, We, all of us who e old enough to do remember the exciting times of the autumn and winter of 1859-'60, the heated political con- tests and the raid of John Brown. Concerning our national crisis there were three parties in England: sympathizers with the north, sympa- thizers with tne south and neutrals--among these every shade of opinion. Ihe news of the execution of John Brown reached Eugland. It was a bright morning iu December—there are realiy some bright mornings even in a London Ts mber—in the neighborhood of Primrose Ihil, where there is scarcely ever any fog, and ch the poet's widow lived, that I made visit to her. shown up into the now familiar front drawing room, into which Lady Byron soon en- tered from the back room and greeted me with her usual courtesy. After a littie sad talk over the tragedy at Harper's Ferry she took me into the rear room. where she was having a box packed to send to the widow of Jobn Brown, FOR JOHN BROWN's WiDow. There on the floor stood a large dry goods case, while on chairs, tables, stands and sofas lay piles of white underclothing, biack gowns, widow caps, bonnet, veil, shawl, mantle. hose, parasol, fan, bandkerchiefs—in short, a widow's complete and abundant mourning outfit, all of the very best materials and make-up. Over all these presided a fair geutlewoman of middle age, whom Lady Byron introduced as her friend, Mise Carpenter. “All of this clothing has been made up by my school girls under the direction of Miss Carpenter,” she explained. Watson, the favorite lady's maid, was also in attendance. Miss Carpenter, assisted by Watson, packed abuge box. Lady Byron, seatedin her rock- ing chair, looked on with interest, occasion- making suggestions as to the more careful bestowal of cap or bonnet into its own little «vecial receptacle, ‘LADY BYEON’S INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS, W@* there watching the workers and wonder- ing what the plain backwoods woman would do with a mourning outfit that might have suited a widowed duchess, The packing was finished and the box sent off before night, When this was done Miss Carpenter went away. When we were alone Lady Byron explained that Mies Carpenter was the sister of the dis- tinguished physiologist, Dr. Wm. B. Carpen- ter, who wrote the prize essay on ‘The Use and Abuse of Alcohol,” a work much talked of hen; that she was the very able superin- tendent of her (Lady Byron's) industrial schools. Lady Byron bad established such schools on ali her country estates, where the children of the poor were taught not only the usual branches of acommon English educa- tion, but also useful trades, A few minutes later I took leave of Lady Byron, She soon after left London, and we corresponded by letter, but I never saw her again. She passed away on the 16th of the following May, less than a year from our first meeting. In all my intercourse with the poet’s widow, who, while she lived, was the most intimste friend I had in England, not a word was ever breathed in regard to that poet or hi orks, Dr. King. the life-long friend of Lady Byro whom she sent tocailon me at Brighton an who became one of my most esteemed friends, was not reticent, He often spoke of her long, long life of widowhood and retirement, devoted to ber child and grandchildren and to her world-wide charities, regarding it almost as the life of asaint and martyr. One day he suddenly inquired: A RELIC OF THE HONEYMOON. “Flave you ever seen @ certain little tete-- tote tea service?” and he described it to Thad not, He then told me that it was the little service for two that Lord and Lady Byron had used tm their tete- te teas during the | frst month of their married life. She bad aa ¢ itand used it when alone or with REPRESENTING FOUR TITLED HOUSES, It was a remarkable circumstance in Lady | Byron's destiny that sho was fated to be the | vole lmeal heiress and representative of no less n four ancient and titled houses, whose estates, in the language of heraldry, ‘shad falien to the distaff,” Millbanks, baronets of Hanabiy, York; Weutworth, baronets of Nettleford, Suf- folk; Harley. About three years after the marriage of her daughter Ada to Lord King Lady Byron pro- cured from the queen the reversal of her bar. ony of Lovelace to ber son-in-law and also the creation of the earldom in his favor. She held the barony of Wentworth until her death, when her daughter.

Most of these states have adopted by laws these copies of their own standards, while the others use them as such, So, although the staudird: are not legalized for the nation, they are accepted y the people, ‘The troy pound spoken of, of dy brass, and hollow, is now in the Philadelphia mint, but itis not regarded as a weight of ideal accuracy by any meaus, ‘The reason why the coast survey was originally made the bu- reau of weights and measures also is that Mr. Hassler was superintendent of the coast survey atthe time when he was requested to select the standards. ; “When, about the yenr 1840, the British houses of parliament were destroyed by fire, the old English standards were burned. A commission was, therefore, appointed to make new standards. Among other chings this com- mission constructed an ‘imperial yard,” two copies of which, one bronze and the other iron, were presented to the United States. At the same time an avoirdupois pound of brass, gilded, known as the ‘British imperial pound,’ was given us also. METHIC sYBTEM. “It is a curious fact that Congress has le- galized the metric system in this country, though it has never done so much for the weights and measures in ordinary use. The time when this system will replace all others in every civilized country is not far off. Every European nation except Russia and England has it already. In 1872 representatives of all the great powere, including several South American etates, met in Paris and formed an ‘international bureau of weights and measures.’ They appointed s commission of distinguished scientific men to construct new standards for tie moter and kilogram, A mixture of 90 per cent platinum with 10 per cent of iridium was chosen for the material of both. For the kilo- grams a quantity of the two metals in the pro- portions mentioned was finally powdered, made into a cake, heated red hot, meited ina lime furnace, poured into molds, forged | under hammers, rolled to extreme thinness be- tween stee! cylinders, melted again, cast ina 'g iugot, heated red hot, forged into a square ar, rolled intoa cylindrical bar and finally chopped up into forty little oylinders, each of which was exactly a kilogram in’ weight. So accurately were they adjusted that the final rubbing down to reduce them to exactness was done with the bare hand, lest any coarser material than the skin should rub off a little too much. The meters were manufactured in pretty much the same way. On the second day of the present year oue of these meters and one kilogram were brought from France and formally presented by @ coast survey officer to President Harrison, who broke the seal in the presence of a gathering of dis- tinguished statesmen and citizens. Another kilogram and another meter were brought over about the same time on another ship, in order that no chance should be taken of losing these standards, which could not | possibly be replaced. Both the meters and the | Somnnsl oe are at presont stowed away among the other weights and measures at the branch coast survey office in the Butler building, op- posite the apitol, ‘The meters are sealed up iting the preparation of a vault for their reception, and the little cylindrical kil- ograms, wonderfully heavy for their size, in- asmuch as their density is three or four es ae that of brass, are covered each of ith two bell glasses and stand upon small disce of polished quarts orystal, in order that uo dust may touch them. A MEASURE OF CONTENTS, “The meter being « measure of length and the kilogram one of weight, where does the measure of contents, corresponding to the gal- lon or the bushel, come in? That is a very sim- ple question and easily answered. According to the metric system aliter holdsexactly one cubic centimeter of fluid.
