MARGARET OF ANJOU.
TI Recora of a Stormy Life.
From her cradle to her grave, Marga
ret of Anjou-the last of our Provencal
Queens-was the heroine of tempestu
ous misfortune and romance, and for
five-and-twenty years played a conspicu
ous part in England's history. During
her sojourn among the English arose that
deadly feud between the rival houses of
York and Lancaster, which culminated
in the terribly devastating "War of the
Boses." Thus MargaIet's position as
an English Queen consort was one of
constant anxiety, danger and difficulty;
occasionally relieved, it is true, by a
few brilliant gleams of royal splendor
and sunshine--gleams that only served
to bring into greater prominence her
overwhelming calamities.
The illustrious King Bone of Anjou,
rich in titles but not in wealth, was the
father of the peerless Margaret; while
- her mother, Isabella, was adirect descend
ant of the renowned Charlemagne, and
a Princess highly endowed with beauty,
eloquence, energy and virtue. Princess
Margaret was born 23rd of March 1429,
at Pont-a-Mousson-her mother's Aower
palace, one of the grandest castles in
Lorraine. When but 2 years Old the
baby Princess commenced her appren
ticeship to sorrow and adversity ; for at
this early age her father was taken captive
while engaged in -a struggle respecting
her mother-s patrimony in Lorraine; and
the anxious and distraught Isabella,
while clasping Margaret to her breast,
gave vent to her grief in tears and low
inurmurs of alarm.
Margaret was twice betrothed during
her infancy7 firstly to the Count St. Pol,
secondly to the Count de Nevers; but
both these projiected alliances fell
through. When a little over 14 years of
age her youthful attractions were the
theme of general admiration.
" The courts of France ahd Burgundy
rang with her charms," tho learned
chronicler, Barante, declared. " There
was no Princess in Christendom more
accomplished than my Lady Margaret
The young bachelor King, Henry VI.
of England, having heard of her peer
less beauty and lofty spi~rit, sent a trusty
emissary to the Court of Lorraine to ob
tain a portrait of her. The gentleman
of Anjou intrusted with the duty of
presenting the picture to the Eniglish
monarch described in glowing terms the
many attractions of this incomparable
Prinicess, and his report was well sec
onded by the painting. Both Henry's
great uncle, Cardinal Beaufort, and Mar
garet's uncle, Charles VII. of France,
lent their influence in supporting Hen
ry's choice. The Cardinal in particu
lar was very anxious for the alliance.
He had educated his royal nephew, and
he saw clearly enough that Henry was
lamentably deficient in energy and de.
cision of character ; and, as Margarot
possessed these requisites in a marked
degree, he hoped her influence in these
respects would prove beneficial for the
King. At the same timo he also hoped
her youth and inexperience would ren
der her a valuable instrument in pro
moting his own political influence and
power.
" The darling of the people," Duka
Humphrey of Gloucester, uncle to the
young King, was opposed to this alli
ance with Margaret; consequently Car
difial Beaufort and the Duke were at an
Issue as to the choice of a consort for
their royal kinsman.
Henry himself, however, was deepl.y
enamored by her pictured charms, Hel
resolved to obtain Margaret at whatever
cost; and, as King Rene demanded the
cession of Maine and Anjou as the price
of his daughter's hand, Henry readily
agred tothe sacrifice, only too pleased
to secure this "dowerless bride whose
beaut and merits were allowed to out
weig all the riches in the world."
Te Duke of Suflolk, accompanied by
his Duchess and a brilliant train of the.
ntobility, was dispatched to France "to
espouse the Lady Margaret of Anjou, as
proxy for his sovereign." The festivi
tes lasting eight days, were carried out
wigreat magnificence.
At the close of the festivities Margaret
Stook most affectionate leave of her par
Sents, kindred and friends; anid the lively
emotions called forth on her departure
for England in the charge of the Duke
and Duchess of Suffolk were eloquent of
the love and ad~miration universally felt
for' her.
Herlanding In England was heralded
by a terriflo storm. " The cliffs of Al
biona were first visible to her amid flashes
of lightning, and the shores resounded
with peals ofthunder'." On arriving at
Souitbampton alhe was seized with a dan
gerous illness-supposed to have been
small-pox-and the anxious young King
awaite her recovery with the greatest
~ &~anbSutIful Margaret, then in her
S15th year, even suffered from poverty,
t~h in hier own home and in that of
J~adopted country. Miss .Strickland

Humphr. Duke of Gloucester, find
in his opposition to Henry's marriage
S ..at useles, Ws
one of the frst to treat the young
Queen with marked courtesy and friend
lines. Unfortunately, Margaret was
too inexperienced, and too much of a
spoiled beauty, to readily overlook his
Previous slighting behavior. Her im
ptuous temperement never allowed her
acquire that command over her likes
and iikes which discretion impera
tively calls for ; a less clever or less
spirited woman would have had the tact
to ty and conciliate her ekemies ; Mar.
garet never succeeded in doi this, and
her want of judgment in t respect
greatly added to the bitterness of the
struggles she had afterward to endure.
If Cardinal Beaufort had not been so
intent on gaining his own ends he might
have striven, with some good effect, to
mitigate Margaret's dislike for Glouces
ter, who was heir-presumptive to the
throne. The Cardinal's influence over
the young Queen was considerable, and
it is much to be regrettedthat he did
not use it for her benefit.
Two years passed, and Margaret gave
no sign of becoming a mother. During
this time Gloucester's political oppo
nents, Beaufort, Somerset and Suffolk
who was at the head of the Ministry,
left no stone unturned to effect his over
throw. Through their instrumentality
Duke Humphrey was arrested on a
charge of high treason. Seventeen days
after his arrest he was found dead in his
bed. There wevre no marks of violence
on his person, but Queen Margaret's
known dislike to him, in conjunction
with the ill-concealed animosity of his
opp'nents, led to suspicions of his hav
ing been unfairly dealt with, and a ru
mor soon spread that the beautiful
young Queen had, in part, been the
means of causing the death of the popu
lar favorite. There was nothing m the
evidence to support so serious a charge
against Margaret.
Soon after .Gloucester's death, Cardi
nal Beaufort was called to his last ac
count, and Margaret naturally trans
ferred her confidence to her early and
trusted English friend, the Duke of Suf
folk. Among her most powerful and un
scrupulous foes were the Duke of York
Richard Nevillo, Earl of 8alisbury, and
his son, Warwick, " the King-muaker."
These influential nobles, aided by their
supprers, ultimately effected the down
falo ufrolk.
" He was sentenced to banishment,
but met his death on board a vessel, his
head and severed trunk being flung n
Dover sands, where his chaplain found
them and gave them honorable burial."
In the very brief intervals of peace
which allowed Margaret opportunities
of benefiting her subjects, we find she
endeavored to encourage the nmanufact
uire of silk and woolen goods ; and
Queen's College, Cambridge, owes its
foundation to her. From these tokens
we are justified in concluding that, had
her reign been less disturbed by " the
fatal evil of war," she would have effect
od yet more substantial good for her
people.
The Duke of Somerset succeeded Suf
folk as Prime Minister. This noble
man's violent temper hastened the out
break of hostilities between the York
and Lancastor factions, and-as is so
well-known-the red rose became the
badge of the Lancastrians, and the white
rose that of the Yorkists. Margaret
henceforth forsook the pure daisy flower
and adopted the blood-red rose as her
emblem. No sooner had the rival houses
assumed their respective badges than
the Duke of York revealed his true
character of armed dictator to the
throne. The high-spirited Margaret
resented this conduct, and, aided by her
adviser, Somerset, she urged King
Henry to meet York in the field. But
Henry's peace-loving nature shrank
from an appeal to arms, and for a time
open warfare was avoided by York be
ing induced to swear a solemn oath of
fealty.
Margaret hiad been married nine years
ere she gave birth to the long-wished-for
hei'. Gloomy, indeed, were the cir
cumitances wnich heralded the birth of
the young Prince Edward. The En
glish arms had met with disasters in
foreign .fields ; discontent, clamorously
expressed, prevailed at home; and, as if
to crown her misfortunes, the beautiful
distraught young Queen had just lost
her noble mother, and the mind of her
husband was overshadowed by a malady
which deprived him of reason. Most
touching is it to read the old chronicler's
account of the endeavors that were made
to elicit from the afflicted monarch some
sign that he really knew the babe pre
sented to him was the son he had so
fervently de.sired. First, the Duke of
Buckingham presented thie royal child
to the King, but met with no response.
Then Queen Margaret herself took the
boy and offered him with impassioned
tenderness to his father, at the same
time entreating the paternal blessing
and embrace. Just for an instant Hen
ry's eyes rested on the babe, but not a
single spark of recognition was in the
abstracted glance.
Unhappy Queen and mother ! With
what indescribable grief must she have
borne this afflicting moment!i During
Henry's melancholy illness Margaret
devoted herself to her belovei child, and
to the amelioration of her husband's
pitiable condition.
In the meantime her enemy, York,
was actively at work. He contrived to
depose. Somerset from of fice, and took'
upon himself the protectorate of En
gland, " till such time na the King
might bq able to resume the reins of
government, or the infant Prince should
arrive at years of discretion."
Margaret's position became more and
more critica.l. She was surrounded by
enemies who, as she knew full well, were
resolved on the deposition and destruc
tion of her royal house. Calumnies,
many of them of the basest character,
were sown broadcast--eidumnies not
only reflecting on her conduct as a
Qjueen, but on her honor s a woman.
Warwiok, in particular, never spared
her, and it may be easily imgn that,
to so spirited and Impetuous a nature a
Margaret's, the shameful doubt cas
upon the ~legitimacy of her beautifu
boy aroused in her the fiercest feelinas
Qi~oe ad t*been~t
wre gotten in the n.
W o ethe avepgr.'
With a husbWtd wanting n rsolution
and' rmnes and whose mind was fre.
quentlymajo.d'with a Princely bot
VUa_ w*hose intret theo constan
and anxious vigilance wore requisite, the
Queen was imperatively called upon to
exercise to the full all the courage,
p titude and determination she poe.
The fluctuating fortunes of those long
continued deadly Wars of the toses
aford proof-if - such be wanting--that
the influence of the Queenly Margaret
was something pbove and beyond that
of an ordinary woman. T e after
time, when even a veteran commander
might have reasonably concluded all
was lost, Magaret rallied fresh ad
herents to her standard. So long as her
husband lived, so long as her princely
son was safe beside her, she never lost
heart, nor courage, nor energy.
From the terrible battle of Hexham
she, in mortal terror for her son's life,
fled with him on foot through the neigh
boring forest, till they encountered a
band of robbers who possessed them
selves of her jewels. *While the men
were disputing over the booty, Mar
garet caught her son up in her arms and
sped on. She had not proceeded far
when she met one of the troop alone.
With her usual spirit and self-possession
she stepped forward with her little son,
and, presenting him to the robber, ex
claimed: "Here, my friend, save the
son of your King I" The man, struck
by her beauty and majesty, as well as
by the boy's interesting and helpless ap
pearance, turned his threatened enmity
into friendliness, and he led them to a
cave where he sheltered them for two
days.
All readers of history know how Mar
garet's heroic struggles were finally
overcome in the last brave effort of the
Lancastrians at Tewksbury, that "fatal
field " that witnessed the death of "the
ant, sprin g young Plantagenet."
e despair o queen Margaret at this
overwhelming disaster was lifelong.
She was brought to London with the
youthful widow of her beloved son, the
ill-fated Anne of Warwick, to grace the
train of the victor. The same night the
Queen was imprisoned in the Tower
and to the loss of her son was added
that of her husband, who was murdered
at the same time by Riciard, Duke of
Gloucester.
After a long and weary period, in
which she was conscious of nothing but
an awful sense of utter desolation, the
childless, widowed and dethroned Queen
was ransomned by her kind old father,
King Bene, at the sacrifice of his inher
itance of rProvence-of that Provence
which had once rung with joyful accla
mations at sight of the lovely Margaret
and her beautiful mother. " Anjon's
lone matron " had now drunk too deeply
of the cup of sorrow and bitterness to
take muh interest in anything that life
could offer her. The agony and fierce
agitations she had undergone turned
the whole mass of her blood, and every
trace of her once ravishing beauty dis
appeared. She made the most strenu
eus efforts to obtain the bodies of her
murdered husband and son. Even this
consolation was denied her ; yet' up to
the last day of her life she employed
some faithful ecclesiaatics in England
to perform at their humble graves the
offices deemed needful for the repose of
their souls.
The remainder of her life- was passed
in the greatest seclusion. She expired
at the Chateau of Damprierre, on the
25th of August, 1480, in her 51st year.
American Women and Family Dutties.
A gentleman writes to the St. .Jamea
Gaizette, London, the following letter on
the domestic condition of America :
" The foot-note you quoted the other
day from Mi. Gol dwin Smith's paper in
the Nineteenth (cntu-y, and your ar
ticle, 'Is the Family in Danger ?' are
calculated to give your readers an unfair
impression of American women and
their vows of family duty. Mr. Goldwin
Smith mighit very well have qualifie~d
his remarks by adding that the woman
suffrage movement, about which I offer
no opinion, is in a small minority in the
United States ; that it has there much
less hold on the better classes than it has
here ; that it has little hold at all on the
vast industrial and agricultural popula
tion outside of great cities ; and that the
ideas which, rightly or wrongly, he at
tributes to its leaders as to matrimony
and maternity are wholly repugnant to
the vast majority of A merican women.
In fact, his argument pointed to dangers
--real or exaggerated-in the future, niot
to the present state of affairs. Though
my experience of America has not been
so long and continuous as Mr. Goldwin
Smith's, I have been in America enough,
and have seen enough of the various as
pects of American society, to have some
right to an opinion. And I have some
hope that I shall find Mr. Goldwin
Smith agreeing with me when I say,
without hesitation, that nowhere can
,family life, in its simple, honest affec
tions, the cohesion of its members, the
sense of duty of husband and wife,
parent and child, be seen better devel
oped than in New England. And so
ciety in other p arts of the States differs
from that in New England more in de
grees of education and refinement than
in essential habits and'principles. Any
one acquainted with American society
knows, for instance, that young married
women live a much simpler, more whole-~
some life than they do in London draw
ing-rooms, and give more of their time
to home life, to their husbands and chil
dren, and less to social engagements,
than they do in England. The statistics
of the writer in the Century may show
that the relaxation of the divorce law in
some of the States has been unsatisfac
tory as leading to capricious breaking
up of the marriage tie for unsubstantial
reasons in certain classes of American
society. The fact, however, remains that
the grbsser scandals of married life
which the Divorce Court too frequently
reveals in the higher circles of English
society are strikingly rare in families of
similar position in America.
"I shall be glad to be permitted thus
to state what I think is the true state of
the case, because mapy readers who do
not know America themselves might be
led by the-extract and your article to
hast and unjust generalizations which
woud have about as much solid founda

and Interemting letter which i blw wil

reader may better undertand this lete Yew
extracts are herewith given from the tersupw
in question. r
After ay bet nsang of courthis and a few
reminiscenoes about the war, in which the
doctor was a prominent surgeon, the reporter
remarked upon the 4octor's Improved appear
anoe, upon which he said :
"Yea, I have improved in health sines you
last saw me, and I hope also in many other
ways. - One thing, however, I have sucoeeded in
doing, and it is one of the hardest things for
any one and especially a doctor, to do, and
that is I have overcome my prejudices. You
know there are some people who prefer to
remain in the wrong rather than acknowledge
the manifest right. Such prejudice leads to
bigotry of the worst order. Now, I am a phy
sician, and of the ' old school.' order too ; but
I have, after years of experienoo and observa
tion, come to the conclusion that truth is the
highest of all things, and that if prejudice or
bigotry stand in the way of truth, so much the
worse for them-they are certain to be crushed
sooner or later. Why, when I knew you in
Detroit, I would no sooner have thought of
violating the code of ethics laid down- the
profession, or of prescribing anything out of
the regular order, than I would of amputating
my hand. Now, however, I prescribo and
advise those things which I believe to be
adapted to cure, and which my experience has
proven to be such."
"How did you come to get such heretical
ideas as these, doctor?"
" Oh, they are 'the result of my experience
and observation. I obtained my first ideas upon.
the subject, though, from having been cured
after my care and all the skill of my professional
brethren had failed to relieve me. Why, I was
as badly off as man of my patient, with a
complication of troubles including dyspep
and consequently imperfect kidneys and liver,
and I feared I should have to give up my prao
tice. For months I suffered untold agonies.
Dull, indefinite pains in various parts of the
body; a lack of interest in every g around
me ; a loss of appetite: headaches all these
disagreable amptoms were added to pains
which were bi h acute and constant. Bick as I
was, however I became restored to health In a
most surprising manner and i an incredibly
short space of tune, and it was this that proved
a revelation to me. That was the starting int,
and my prejudices faded rapidly'at at I
can assure you. I went to reading extensively,
and analyzing more extensively, and since that
time I have discovered many things of real
value to humanity. Why only a few days ago
I advised a lady who was suffering from a
serious female difficulty and displacement to
use the same remedy which cured me. I saw
her this morning and she Is nearly well; the
pain. and Inflammation are all gone and she Is
around as usual. We have no right In the
medical fraternity to sit back and declare there
is no such thing as improvement or advance
ment, or that we have a monopoly of the reine
dies which nature has given to mankind. There
are great changes going on in every department
of life, and there are great development in med
icine as well. Thousands of people die every
year from anpposed typhoid fever, rheumatism
or other complaints, when In reality it is from
tr ichina, caused by eating poorly cooked and
diseased pork. Thousands of children are
dying every year from dropsy as the apparent
sequel to scarlatina, when in reality It is from
diseased kidneys which have become weakened
by the fever they have just had."
" Well, doctor, you have got some new
truths here, certainly, but they sound very
reasonable to me."
" Well, whether they are reasonable or not, I
have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that
they are true, and I propose to stand by them,
no matter how much opposition I may raise by
doing so. Any man, be he politician, preacher
or physician, who is so considerate of his pock
et book or of his owii personal ends as to atultify
himself by suppressiug the manifest truth, is
uniworthy the name of man, and unworthy the
confidence of the public whom he serves."
The above are some of the principal points In
the interview referred to. Now for the sequel.
The following outspoken letter from the doctor
himself which has just been received is pub-.
lished in ful
Editor .Detroit Free Press :
S3ome time ago a reporter of your paper had
an interview igth me which he said he would>
like to publishi. I consented on condition that
you would not mention my name until I gave
you permission. I have now accomplished the
purpose I had in mind, and wish to say to you
(which you can publish or not as you see fit)
that I had debated for a long time whether I
would shake off some of the professional fetters
which bound me with others for years, and tell
the truth, or not. When I looked back, anu
thought of the tortures, like those described by
Dante in his trip to the infernal regions, which
I en~dured from dyspepsia, and recalled how
much I would have given at that time for the
relief which I have since obtained, I determined
that I would take the step so long meditated,
and thereby diacharge a duty to my fellow men.
If I could thereby save one poor mortal one
night of the terrible suffering I endured,' I
would be fully satisfied, be the other conse
quences what they might.
My dyspeptic condition was produced b'y a
torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence,
remove the bile from the blood .This pro
duced derangement of the stomach, infiamma
ti n of Its coats, dyspepsia, constipation,
headache, depression of spirits, yellow com
plexion, fat-covered eyes, chills and fever ; in
short, Iwas miserable to the last degree. I
appealed la rain to my books, to my skill and
to my fellow physicians. The mystery of my
ill-health grew deeper. I traveled everywhere
-exhausted all au orized expedents-but to
no purpose I
When In this frame of mind, desperately in
need of help, but expecting none, one of my
unprofessional friends called my attention to
Pomel unusual cures wrought by a prominent
remedy and urged me to try it. X emphatclly
declined, But secretly, and with the firm deter
mination that I would never let anybody know
what I had done, I began its use. It was only
an experiment, you know, but for that matter,
all medical treatment is experimental. Well
to make a long, and surprising story short, I
experienced a sort of physical revolution. My
skin got a better color. My liver resumed its
funcions. I no longer had t6f arouse the
bowels with catharties. My headaches disap
peared with my dyspepsia ; but still I was not
convinced. " Nature did it," I reasoned. But,
determined to push the investigation to the
extreme, while I? was in active work, I tried the
effect of the remedy on my patients afflited
with kidney, liver and urinary diseases, watch
ing every development carefully and studiously.
Then I was completely disarmed, for the remedy
stood every test imposed!i
Under such convincing circumstances, the
matter of confessing my cure became a ques
tion of conscience and of duty to humanity.
" Here is a remedy," I said, " that has done for
me what the best med'cal skill of the country
could not accomplish "--and as an honorable
man I will not suppress the facts. I therefore
write you and most unhesitatingly assert that
for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach
or urinary organs which are amenable to treat
ment, Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
surpasses any remedy I have ever known or
used, and since physicians have so much Ill
success In the treatment of diseases of these
org ins, I am prepared to accept all the conse
quences when I say that they are, If conscien
tions, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable
compound in their practice.
Yours very truly,
J. W. Bizrru, K. D.
Sttmnts so ouspken as the above and
comin fromsuch a relable source, are valuable
beyond question. They conclusively show not
only the power of the remedy which has become
so well known and popular,'but the great im
portanoe of attentfon In time to the ftret indies
tions of declining health. When professional
men of such high standing sink their prejudice
and willingly declare their belief in that which
they know to be valuable, the puablio may
confidently follow their example.
Tb. m~zyes ~buqbkd a'"~
Brodotus gives the *ccount
that part at his work whih treats on
: "The phesnix is another sacred
whiah I have never seea except in
effigy. He rarely appears in p t;
only once in 500 y m ely
aft the death of Wi fther, as the
Heli tans afirm. If the painters
de him truly, his feathers repre
sent a mixture of orimson and gold; and
he resembles the eagle in outline and
size. They airm that he contrives the
following thing, which to me is not
credible. They say that he comes from
Arabia, and brwging his father inclosed
in myrrh, buries him in the Temple of
the Sun, and that he brings him in the
following manAer: First, he molds a
great quantity of myrrh into the shape
of an egg as he is well able to carry ;
and, after having tried the weight, he
hollows out the egg, and puts his parent
intb it, and stops up with some more
myrrh the hole through which he had
introduced the body, so that the weight
is the same as before ; he then carries
the whole mass to the Temple of the Sun
in Egypt. Such is the account they
give of the phosenix." The popular
version is that, on arriving at the age of
500 years, the phoenix built a funeral
pile, of wood and aromatic gums, and
ighting it by the fanning of his wings,
was consumed to ashes, out of whicl)
arose a new phonix.
THun use of gas as fuel is suggested as
a means of freeing London from the
intolerable smoke with which it is now
afflicted. It is -thought to be not alto

heating purposes, the dream of a smoke
less London may be realized at no very
-istant period.

8ir-Twenty years ago I was shipwrecked on
the Atlantic Ocean, and the cold and exposure
caused a large abscess to form on each leg,
whbich kept continually discharging. Aftex
spending hundreds of dollars, with no benefit,
I tried your "Golden Mledical Diiscovery," and
now, in less than three months after taking the
first bottle, I am thankful to say I am com
pletely cured, and for the first time in ten yeare
can put my left heel to the ground. I am yours,

statement: For FOURTEEN YEARS I have
been constantly suff'erinir from chroni

times very great, and at no time entirel,
arrested. The accompanying congestioi
of the -kidney s frequently was acutela
painful. I have had treatment by th'
best physicians, but their skill gay
me no relief. The wide-spread celeb>

Indeed, in less than one week, all appear

FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS.
Antiquarians say that the umbrella 'waq in
vented shortly after tho. flood, nid has been the
least improved upon of all appliances fir hinnan
comfort, the shape being now us it was In those
youthful days of the world. An umbrella is
much like a pigeon a: to the question of posses
sion-the last one who gets it owns it. 'I he fol
lowing facts about unbrellas-especially the last
one-may serve every reader a splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your umbrella lin a rack
indicates that it is about to change owners. An
unibrella carried over a woman, the man gettiig
nothing but drippings of the rain, indieatesrcourt
ship. When the man hais the umbrella and the
woman the drippiig, it indicates marriage. To
carry it, at right angr (!s inder your arm signifies
that an eye is to be lost by the man who follows
you. Toput a cotton ium brellaby the side ofa'nice
silk one signifles that " exliange is no robbery."
To lend an timbrella sigifies that " I am a fool."
T') carry an unbrella just, high enough to tear
,,It me eyes and knoek ofT men's hats, signiies
"I am11 ai woman." To go without.,13 anubrella
