HERE is an item going the rounds of
the papers to the effect that Robert
Bonner paid Longfellow S4,000-S20
per line-fOr the poem "The HANGING
Of the Crane" which would be much
the largest compensation ever received
by poet. am informed that the sum
thus set down is four times too large
One thousand dollars is what Mr.. Long
fellow received for this piece-or So
per line. 1t was originally offered to
the atlantic M0nthly, and accepted, at
a compensation of $3.50 Then Mr..
Bonner made the author an offer
of $1,000 for poem of this
length for the Ledger, the publishers of
the atlantic, approaching the circum-
stances, released it to the author He
received $500 in addition for the use of
it for public reading purposes before it
appeared in print. The COrnbjU Mag
azjne'S compensation for Tennyson's
"Tithonus'' was $3.50 per line, and the
Nineteenth Century paid him $3.50 per
line for g The Revenge" Some of the
best of Longfellow' 5 earlier poems were
sold to GrdybGn'S MHg0zine for small
sums. Except the Knjcherbocker, which
did not pay much, and for which Long
| fellow did not write, there We're then
no other periodicals that paid forpoetry.
The Boston Miscellany, which Lowell
edited, had the disposition to do this
but it did not live long, and had little
means while in existence. From fifty
to hundred dollars used to be paid
men of established reputation for poems
for anniversary occasions, when socie-
ties had the means. DR.. Holmes long
est poems, s. Urania-a Rhymed Les
son." was given before the Mercantile
| Literary Association of Boston. He was
at first not inclined to write it, but was
startled by the magnificent offer of
5000, and felt that he could not afford
to neglect such an opportunity. 1t oc-
cupied nearly an hour in its delivery
Longfellow and Whittier have realized
considerable sums from their poems in
book form, making probably more than
do their publishers. Longfellow's most
profitable book was /" Hiawatha,"
which controversy between publisher
and critics gave an extraordinary sale
on its first appearance. Whittier $
g Snow-bound" also sold largely, as
did Longfellow's The Hanging of the
Crane especially in holiday edition,
Tennyson received very handsome
sum from his Boston publishers for his
"Enoch Arden,' and his books sell
best of all in America, while it is said
that Longfellow's have the largest
popularity in England. The sale of
Holmes poems is considerably larger
than that of Lowell's, but falls below
the sales of Longfellow and Whittier

The Art Of Kissing.

Never kiss a young girl if she don't
want you to. The main ingredient
that makes kissing endurable is will
lingness on the part of the female. If
it deepens into anxiety so much the
better. When girl claws mans
hair and scratches his face like fool,
drop her at once. She is destitute of
good taste and natural affection, and
the sooner you make love to her sister
the better. As long as a girl don't
claw and yell and struggle like pan
Their it is perfectly safe to continue
prospecting. Get little behind her,
pass the right arm around the waist in
front, take the left, and if you don't
know what to do next, 90 associate
with the boys in the first ward. If you
are just beginning to teach sly young
girl who has only been kissed hereto
fore by her brothers and father, touch
your lips gently to the forehead. She
will take this for an exhibition of pro-
found respect. When that position
has been gained, working the way
down to the lips is as natural and easy
as the course of a log sliding down q
wood flume. Never sit down to kiss;
it looks awkward in case ANYBODY is
looking, and seems awkward, anyhow.
Stand up, and the closer you press the
girl the higher estimate she will place
on your good taste, common sense and
experience.-Portldnd Times.

ant with them into the side apartment.
Mary Ann was unresisting. She was
again led into the room. Collingwood
danced with her all the evening. He
escorted her home in the beautiful
moonlight, and every now and then he
pressed the cloak around her, with
which she appeared not by any means
to find fault.
In about a month, Mary Ann became
Mrs. Collingwood; and Immediately,
as the parson had finished this great
business of the evening, Louisa, who
was one of her maids, whispered in her
ear, Two yards of jaconet, or a hus-
band. She smiled, and passed her
arm around Louisa's waist. Both,
my love-both, my love. Jaconet and
a husband, a husband and iaconet.-

Theo, the Partisan Opera. Bufliste.

Iheo, about whom and the Prince of
Wales there has been so much gossip
pleasant and unpleasant, according to
ones moral prejudices-is among the
most noted or notorious of the opera
bOufle singers of Paris. Many Ameri-
cans who have been abroad recently
must remember her, pretty, piquant
ndwicked, as the favorite of the bOuff'eS,
where she has drawn nightly hundreds
of lorgnettes, and elected tumults of
applause. She is very comely, having
abundant blonde hair, mischievous dark
eyes, a round, roguish face, symmetri-
cal, voluptuous figure, and not one pure
tone in the scale. 1t is not by her voice,
however, that she attracts or expects to
attract.
Her person, her beauty of the devil,
to borrow the French phrase, her de-
lightfully naughty ways, are her mag
nets, and she makes the most of them.
Offenbach discovered her at an inter-
national concert hall in Vienna during
the exhibition in 1873, and said: "Here
is woman about whom Paris will rave,
Notwithstanding her inability to sing"
He was right. He produced her at the
bouffes and she proved prodigious
success from the first. Theo is accus-
toned to conquests ofthe kind she has
Just made over the Prince of Wales.
But it may well be doubted whether the
spectacle of the future King of Great
Britain drinking champagne and fiirt-
ing publicly with woman of her &C.
centric strain is altogether edifying
even in the most liberal community

If a bombshell had exploded in the yicini-
ty of Logansport yesterday, it would not
have caused more of sensation than did
the announcement of the appointment of
William II. Smith, editor of The Star, post
master of this city. The present Incumbent
is soldiers widow, Mrs. Capt. Ewing. She
has for nearly four years given excellent sat
isfaction in the position, but she has no po-
litical influence, being woman, and politi-
clans must put their constituents in Office if
they would themselves attain official position.

and the a,ainalts of the change, the truth
seems to lie Gf truth can ie) in this, Col.
Billinghurst, of Cass County, is the forth
coming candidate for Congressional honors,
as is j. N. Tyner, assistant postmaster gen
eral. The latter, in order to nullify the Col

his official prerogatiye by appointing Smith
to the position, thus securing The Star light
to brighten his way to.a seat in Congress.

1t turns out that the President was about
to appoint Gov. Packard collector of the
port of New Orleans when William E. Chan
dler's letter came out. He then changed his
mind, for the reason that if the appointment
were made it would look too much like a
verifcation of some of Chambers charges
General Williamson was then agreed on fol
the position, and Packard, it is now under
stood, can have either the mission now held
by Williamson to the Central American
States, the assistant treasuryship at New Or
leans, or the collectorship of internal revenue
in one of the city districts. He will prob
ably be nominated for one of these positions

From the New York Times
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-In the last eight
years good many Investigations of the same
character have been made. At one time. in
fact, they were extremely common in the
Interior Department.. It somehow happened
that the reports were almost universally
favorable to the parties accused. No one at
tempted to scrutinize the testimony with a
view to discovering whether it was sufficient
foundation for the report or otherwise. In
fact, it was pretty generally understood that
when an officer was accused of any irregu-
larity, the commission appointed to invest
gate was charged with the duty of finding
some method of exoneration. The commits.
sion, unless specifically instructed to the con-
trary, would likely consider it best there
should be no scandal affecting the service.
lest the Republican party might be hurt.
There were good many investigations car
ried on by order of Congress, which, no
doubt, were influenced very largely in their
course OF. proceedings and in their reports
by desire to shield the party from the ex-
posure of its prominent members. There
was, for example, the investigation into the
sale of arms to the French during the Franco
Prussian war.

LONDON, Jan pa Paris dispatch says:
According to arrangement between the Lee
gitimists, Bonapartists and Orleanists for
filling the vacant life Senatorship the late
Gen. D'Auerille Paladine's-the succession
fell to the Orleanists, who nominated Duke
de Cazes. The Bonapartists and Legitimists
were much displeased and endeayored to
persuade the Orleanists to waive their turn,
because the Duke de Cazes is too liberal,
but the Orleanists insisted upon making
the nomination. The Republicans nomi-
mated M. Victor Lefranc, who
was Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce under M. Theirs. The Duke
Delazes will probably be elected. If not, the
result will be very important as tending to
destroy the combination which has hereto
fore maintained an Republican MAORI
ty in the Senate and filed all vacant life
Scholarships with monarchists. The Senate
bureaux elected budget committee yester-
day consisting of ten members from the
Left and eight from the Right. This is the
first time Republicans have secured ma
jority in this committee.
