"The Bari of Minto's appointment as Viceroy of India has been made almost one hundred years after his ancestor, ¢ first Earl of Minto, began his pros- y at Government House, Cal- P ta, writes Norman Howard in The Dally Chronicle. © It was In 1806 that Lord Grenville ished to nominate Lord Minto (then 'resident of the Board of Control for India) as Governor-General of that 'Country. At first his request met with & decided refusal; but Lord Grenvilie Sgain referred to the subject, telling the $606 'enrl that "there was nabody else who ould thoroughly answer the public & TIN Wishes and those of the Government," and that "he alone could extricate the Ministry from \g position of consider- able embarrassment." + Under this pressure, Lord Minto con- to discuss it with his family, It meant 20 light sacrifice to give the wished- for answer; the idea that Lady Minto tnd her a hters should him was never entertained, for it felt that the Indian climate would fatal to her. The Viceroyship, therefore, fipelt separation from home and family for several years, and at a time when letters often took five or six months to reach thelr destination.

Ordinary English as it is spelled and pr d is certainly confusing to a home-longing which the English in In- dia to-day hasdly realize, with the ra- service of telegraph.

It the question of Lord' Moira's appoint- nmient to the post hp was then holding. "It is comiéal wnough" he adds, "that my lon should have arrived Just at the moment they were turning me out without leave." The sudden pupersession of Lord Minto is assigned to the necessity of finding a place for Lord Moira, Who Was a: personal friend of the Regent. The outery in Calcutta was strong. once the duty was felt to be compel- ling, Lord Minto wrote: "I will not yleld to the feelings which I cannot but ex- perience, but will proceed as manfully and gallantly as I can."

Tt is often a vehement struggle to avoid a delect- able oblivious wink" | Lord Minto found the morning and evening drives horribly formal and un- comfortable. The incessant salaams Wwearied him, and he thought of "stick- ing a wax hand" in his hat. He grad- ! ually freed himself from much of what he called this "troublesome nonsense," and, "Other times, other manners," -- the new Vieeroy has not to fear quite Such bothersome Publicity and formal. y. His Sdrvices to India. The wisdom and success of Lord Minto's administration scarcely need recalling. His first tasks were to set- tle the Vellore Mutiny, to initiate a system of careful finance, and to es- tablish order throughout India. Later on, missions were dispatched to Persia, Lahore, t0 make peaceful alliances With those States. The Persian Ex- pedition was not a success, unfortun- ftely, but the Lahore business ended in the Treaty of Umritsir--a bond of "perpetual amity" between that State | and the British Government. A treaty | Was also concluded with the Amir of Scinde. Among the territories which were Rdded to the Empire during Lord Min- to's governorship were the Amboynas, Molucca Islands, Bousbony<the Mauri- tius, and Java, which servicis he Was thanked by Parllamant. The ex- Try Myers' for Fine COOKED Lord Minto had won great populaitity by his brilliant services, and it was acknowledged that he had, through all the years of his administration, work- ed without ceasing for the public good. But the Governor-General himself seems to have had few regrets, if any. "I seldom miss & night without dream- Ing of being at home" he declares. "The sympathy which his strong love of home excited amang his Brother ex- fles of Calcutta, was gracefully dis- played," writes Lady Minto, "when, dt the close of 1812, the bachelors of Cal- cytta gave the Governor-General a ball. "As he entered the door, the op- posite end of the room disclosed a view of Minto House, 'the burn, the green hills, all to the life, and on so large a scale as to reach from side to side of an immense room." .Mercifully, no pro- pheti¢ instinct warmed him that in the vision created by friendly regard he was alone to see the scene he loved so well." But thé glad home-coming was all too brief and broken, and the well-won quiet of private life was interrupted by death. It was at Stevenage, Hert- fordshire, on June 21, 1814, that the ex-Viceroy passed away, while jour- neying to Minto House. The second and third Earls of Minto were never associated withthe Indian Administration; will the . fourth Lord | Minto fulfill the traditions of his house In that honorable place of power? Durham' Castle's, Secret. Durham Castle, built in the time of the Conqueror, wis once a strong fort- ress protecting' the Prince Bishop and his retihue from Seotch raiders, says The London Daily Mail, It is now the seat of a univérsity. The walls of the Norman gallery having 'shown a ten- dency to bulge, workmen have been em- ployed in bracing. thém togethér with iron girders. While so engaged they discovered a hiding-place in which were stored bullets and gunpowder, the latter being completely caked, In 1640 the Scottish Covenantérs, uns der Gen. David Leslie, defeated the Royal forces, under Lord Conway, at Newburn, near Ne le; 'The morn- ing after the defeat' Lord Conway marched to Durham, and from thence to Northallerton, leaving all the Rovil stores and magazines opeti to the en- emy. i The Scots: thén invaded the County of Durham, and the 'inhabitamts 'fled from the city. Not one shop was open- ed for four days after the Might; not one house in the place had efther man. Woman or child in it; not one piece of bread was to be obtained, for the King's army had eaten and drank all on their march into Yorkshire. The Bishop fled to his castle, and from thence to York and London, and on August 30 the Scots entered Durham. It 1s believed by some that the Royalists In their hurry to carry out as far as possible Lord Strafford's or- der, found it inconvenient to carry off all the munitions of war, and decided to conceal the gunpowder and bullets that could not be removed. Others hold the opinion that the bullets and gun- powder were congealed by Cromwell's prisoners after the battle of Dunbar to explode at a convenient time to throw the garrison into a panic, and thus to effect their escape. ee ---- A Defect In the Hands. A good story is told of an English lawyer who, having succeeded in mak- ing a litigant of every farmer in his county, having grown rich at their ex- pense and thus established a valid claim to ther consideration, consented to sit for his portrait, which was to adorn the courtroom of the county town. The picture was duly painted by a London artist, and previously to be- ing hung was submitted to a private view. "Most uncommonlike, to be sure" was the general verdict. But one old chap, regarding the canvas erit. ically, dissented from the prevailing opinion as follows: "That be somewhat like his face, but it ain't the man. This man has got his hand In his own pock- €t, you see. Now, T have knowed him for five and-thirty years, and all that time he's had his hand In somebody elce's pocket. This chap ain't him."
