THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1884. LYTTON’S LOVE LETTERS. HIS EXTRAORDINARY PET NAMES AND THE FINAL QUARREL. Flr»t Meetlrc ond Miss Wheeler's Ac count of It—“My Adored Poodle'* and "Oo Own PunD»"--A Servant's 8tory. Pall Mali Ossette. Mrs. Louisa Devey is the executrix to the dowawer Lady Lytton. To her Lady Lytton left by will all b»r papers, including these letters, an incomplete "Autobiography,” and another manu script oi autobiographic character, call ed “Nemesis,’’and she was so nervous ly anxious that her intention should not through any inadvertence be frus trated that she directed that they should not by reason of any pretext, “however plausible and apparently truthful,’’ be permitted to pass into the hands of any member of certain families she named. “My first inten tion’ says Mrs. Devey, “was to delay this publication for some years, but I am compelled to hasten my action in consequence of the recent appearance of the ‘Biography of Edward Lord Lyt ton,’ for, although 1 might not have considered it incumbent on me to cor rect inaccuracies so far as the late Lord Lytton I feel that delay would be pre judicial to the very object of my ttust and the faithful discharge of a duty I had unreservedly accepted.’’ Let then, these letters tell their own tale. The correspondence carries the reader, with some intervals, through the years of courtship and early married life. The first meeting of Miss Wheeler with Mr. Edward Bulwer took place nt n parly at Miss llenser’s, in October, 1825. Thus Miss Wheeler describes her fu ture husband: “lie had (she says in her autobiog raphy) just returned from Paris, and was resplendent with French polish es far as boots went. His cobweb cam bric shirt front was a triumph of lace and embroidery, a combination never seen in this country till six or seven years later itexcepton babies’ frocks.) wadi, too, except in racing stables, were then non eit; but a perfect galaxy glittered down the centre of this fairy- like lingerie. His hair, which was really golden aud abundant, he wore litteially in long ringlets that almost reached his shoulders. He was un mistakably gentlemanlike looking, ftw D’Oreay’s linen gauntlets had not yet burst upon the London world, but Mr. Lytton Bulwer had three inches of cambric encircling his coat culls, and fastened with jeweled sleeve links. And though it wanted full five years till every man in society was caned, he also dangled from bis ungloved and glittering right hand a somewhat gorge ously jewel-headed ebony cane, and tho dangling was of the scientific kind, evidently learned, marked, and inward ly digested.’ , Shortly after this meeting begins a series of 398 letters, which the volume contains. The cold formality of the ' . first two or three soon changes to some thing more passionate: “What could I not hope for, (he says,) wlmt could I not achieve, if your smile wns my inspiration and your love my reward 7 I do not speak from tho romanco of a momentary impulse, or tiro too sanguino expectations of an inexperienced ambition. Hard aa it is for persons depressed by poverty and birth to obtain distinction, tothoee in a more fortunate situation it requires little but the stimulus snd exertion. Tell me to bono for you, Kosina, and every other object of ambition will ap pear easy and mean in comparison. * • • Will what I have written explain my sentiments and my withes 7 I pause —I become embarrassed—I know not what I would express, Hate you, Ro sins! At this moment the tears arc in my eyes, my heart heats audibly 1 I stop to klsa tho paper consecrated by your hand—can these sighs oi love ever turn into hatred!” etc. And so matters go on in the same strain. “It has already been remark- for my sou! hungers and thirsts after your write-ousnesB—10,000,000 • [marks of kisses) and 15 [bites.) “1,000,000,- 000,000,000,000 [mark3 ot kisses) my dearest Rose.” “My own dear kind darling lovo and poodle. “Adieu, my own rose, my llle of life, very poodle of very poodles, adieu 1 “Adieu, oo own idolatrous puppy. “Ever my dearest, dearest, dearest, fondest, kindent, bootifulest, darlingest, angelist poodle, oo own puppy. “Asparagus acorn pup bobadil of boots fc—.” Letter Nor. 284, dated May 30, 1820, addressed to Mrs. Bulwer, while stay ing at Tunbridge Wells, was the last ono written for five years. On July 1, 1834. comes No. 285, written to "Mrs. BulVfer, from the Castle Hotel, after a grosB personal outrage.” From this letter we quote largely, as it is per haps the most important in the collec tion : “You have been cruelly outraged— and I stand eternally degraded in my own eyeB. I do not for a moment blame you for the publicity which you gave to an affront nothing but frenzy can ex tenuate—I do not blame you for expos ing me to my servants—for seeking that occasion to vindicato yourself to my mother—nor for a single proceeding of that most natural conduct, which has probably by this time made me the theme for all the malignity of London. All this was-perfcctly justifiable after what had taken place, and 1 have only myself to blame, for having been be trayed into such madness and giving myself, in a moment of passion, so wholly into the hands of my enemies. But I may doubt whether it was hu mane to tamper with so terrible an in firmity as mine, to provoke so gratui tously in the first instance, to continue to sting and exasperate, to lead mo on, step by step, to rouse me outof the re straints 1 visibly endeavored to put upon myself, to resolve on not allowing me to escape myself, to persist in stretching to the utmost a temper al ways so constitutionally violent and stung now by a thousand cares and vexations into an irritable sourness, which common charity might, if it could not forbear with, at least not larily gall—until at last sense, reason, manhood, everythinggave way, and I was a maniac and a brnte. 1 doubt if that was humane. I am now convinced of what I have long believ ed : lam only fit to live alone. Goil and nature afflicted me with unsocial habits, weak.nerves, and violent pas sions. Everything in my life has tend ed tofeed these infirmities, until they have become a confirmed and incura ble disease, which but a gentle pity, a forbearing, soothing, watchful compas sion—as of a nurse over a mailman- can render bearable to me or to others.” to Lady Lytton, whicb is placed at th end of the volume: “I, Rosetta Benson, widow, whose maiden name was Byrne,and who lived for some years as lady’s maid with the Right Hon. Lady Lytton—then Mrs. Edward 1 ytton llulwer, when her lady ship married—from 1827 to 1835, being prevented by the present state of my health from going to London to give my evidence in the Divorce Court, should it be necessary, do hereby de pose on oath before the Rev. John Batt Bingham, magistrate Herts, that dur ing the whole of that period X never knew any gentleman treat a wife, more . ytton Bulwer, did her ladyship, only as to cruei neglect and infidelity, hut also as to acts of brutal personal violence, among others on one occasion when traveling in Italy in 1833. One night at the Lake of Bolsano he so dashed the things about, and nt her ladyship, that even Luigi, the courier, vowed lie would not continue the jour ney with him. Again at Naples, after having in one of his brutal rages kicked and hanged her ladyship against the stone floor at tho Hotel Vittoria till she was black and blue, and had to keep her bed. A few days after—because ^ began to talk of this at Naples, ldo her, poor lady, get up and •li’ess herself to go to a great dinner at laird Hertford’s. After wo got back to London, his temper continued awful toward her ladyship, for having asked him for money to pay the house bills left unpaid when they went abroad; so one day, in July, 1834, at dinner at their house, No. 33 Hertford street, Mayfair, London, he seized a carving knife and rushed at liia wife, when sho cried out, ‘For God's sake, Edward, take care what you are about 1’ when he dropped the knife, and, springing on her like a tiger, made his teeth meet in her left check, until her screams brought the men servants back into the dining room, and no has ever since haunted herthroui > the world, with spies and bad women, and does not allow tier enough to Uvu upon, lor a lady in her station." Some Crnve Affairs of Taste and Dress Seriously Discussed. A servant said the [President would be down as soon as she finished trying on her dress. The Attorney-General took out her knitting and said, "Well, I might as well be working. No telling how long we’ll have to wait.” “For my part,” said the Secretary of War, n I think it 1b rather beneath the dignity of a President to spend all her time getting new clothes.' 1 Not but what she needed them bad ly enough,” interjected tlio Attorney- General somewhat viciously. “Well,” said the Secretary of the Interior, “the Postmaster-General hasn’t come yet, anyway. We always have to wait for her.” At this point the Postmaster-General hurried in. “I am afraid I'm late,” Bhe said, breathlessly, “but I just stopped at Seaton Perrv’s a few minutes. They've got in all their fall things, and thero are some of tho loveliest combinations you ever saw.” Eager attention on the part of cabi- net, interrupted by the servant’s an nouncement : “Her Excellency, the President of ;d,” lays Lady Lytton’a executrix, Air. Bulwer’s letters to Miss 'that Mr. Bulwer’s letters to Miss Wheeler exhaust tho whole vocabulary of amatory declamation, but their want of reticence and dignity too clearly be tray a eon-uni abandonment to what she called the ‘love of a Bashaw,’ not concealed by the affected but ponder ous philandering of his playful corres pondence under the names of ‘Puppy’ and ’Poodle.’ ” In the seventeenth letter begins a series of endearments, of pet names, of wonderful diminutives and superlatives -aa extraordinary as any that have ever been laughed at in a court of law. “My dearest Rose and darlingest poodle," he addressed Miss Wheeler, signing himself “t>o own Puppy.” Here are a few s«mh! c , from this bundle of love letters: “My Adored Poodle: Many, many thanks for oo darling letter. Me is so happy, me is wagging my tail and put ting my earn down, me is to meet oo to-morrow. Oday of days! I cannot tell you how very, very happy you have made me! No, my own love, don't i. * before 12; but really I shall n. e-tyou! Ob, darling of darlings! I . .in rut write to you to-night, nor at any length r.cur.

"Then, again,” he writes, “take uu million million million [kisses;) and so o. o t!links to convict me of equivoca- i ion by saying me continues to dream, tbo’ not to sleep! To be sure! oo does not call dreaming sleep. I call it the restless, active, fatiguing, anil vet delicious part of existence. Instead of that pause sndcessationollifewhich philosophers and physiologists will tell yon sleep is. Bleep forgets. Dreams are all remembrance. Bleep feels not, bears not, sees not.” l or the curious in such matters we give one or two bita taken at random ii. in the collection, examples which .'.i ily serve aa a sample of the whole: "And *o they dressed my Poodle in while and blacV? O zoo darling I bow l.kr u j-oodle! And had oo oo’s booti- tul cam curled nicely, and did oo not !■ .,k too pretty, and did not all the pup- pv dogs run alter oo and tell oo w hat a darling oo was?

He gives his wife tree choice of a residence, and, “as for the children, they are left completely with you.’ 1 He then concludes as follows: “I do not nsk your forgiveness, which I know you would readily give, but which would neither remove my own soreness nor raise my pride. I ask no forgive ness from human being—such as I am I will be to the last, iny own judge. I have been my own accuser and my own punishment. I have not one par ticle of angry feeling against you; all thy bitterness is for myself. And now, farewell. I wish you every comfort, and alter the first nervousness oi 'a breakup’ is over I know you will find a great relief in onr relative change of position. For six years you have been to me an incomparable wife. That thought alone is sufficient to make me judgeyon leniently in the last year. Whether the change arose from too harsh a misconstruction of my faults, from an erroneous estimate oi my char acter, from that utter difference of tastes, habits, and pursuits, which time, that wears away all gloss and all concealment, made more obvions and more irksome—whatever he the cause ol the change taken place in your affec tion and kindness, I make no com- S laint, 1 call for no defense. Let u.“ oth rest in peace.” And this was (hi provocation, as Lady Lytton tells the story: “Upon bis asking me with whom I was going to the christening of Mr. Fonblanquo's child that night, and I replying 'with Lady Btepney,’ he then repeated as fast as he could a dozen times running. ’My mother calls her that ugly old wo man.’ He then called out, ‘Do you hear me, madam 7’ ‘Of course I hear A WESTERN DRINK.

Hit me with a vitriol mixed with broken glass,” said a mao, who might have been taken for the worst man in the West, to an Eighth street bar-lender yes terday morning, “and fire in a few rattle snake stings along with it.

Just look at the hang of the train.” "It’s perfectly magnificent," said the Secretary of War. “Those fine plentings of crepe de chine give it such a lovely finish. But isn’t it just a little shot* in front7” “Why, of course,” said the Presi dent, with some asperity. “I have them all made that way so as not to hare to change when I ride the tri cycle.” • “I hope it’s all silk,” said the At torney-General, sticking her knitting- needle through her back hair, while she nibbed a piece of the dress between her thumb and finger. “Did you save me a piece for my crazy quilt?’’ “Oh, yes,” anspereu tno President, affably. “And now let’s go to busi ness, ladies. I haven't much time this morning. I have to sit for my picture at ono o’clock.” “The most important business I know of,” said the Secretary of State, “is to decide on a minister to the court of St. James. You know Lowell has asked to be recalled.” “Oh, yes, I forgot all about that,” said the President. “Whom shall we send?” ‘If it had only been earlier,” said tho Assistant Secretary of the Navy, reflectively, "I would have gone my self, but the season is qver by this time, and then I get so horribly sea sick.” “It will be hard to get any one to go,” observed the Secretary of War.

Our Journey has been a very in teresting one, leading ns scrota ths prai ries and through noble forests, dotted here and there by tarnis and leg homes, at which we found rough but wholesome end abundant fare and very civil treatment. Many parts of these prairies of the Mis souri are extremely beautifnl, resembling cultivated countries, embellished with parks and groves, rather than the savage rudeness 01 the wilderness.

"Oh, don’t you know?” said the Sec retary of State, “there’s Herr Most and pork and Lasker and Bismarck and all those things to talk about.” “I know there waa a color called Bis marck so i-e years ago,” said the Sec retary of the Treasury, meditatively, as she sorted her crewels, “but It was hideously unbecoming.” "But there's a new red brown this fall,” said the I’ostmaster-Gencral eogerly, “that's just perfectly lovel' for a dark complexion, though I thin! myself nothing wears ns well as the old seal brown.
