Mr.. Tennyson is Of course power in
society, not the less so because the man
tas distinguished from the poet) is SO
little heard of. Having nothing to ask
for, and having declined all favors that
the Crown could bestow, he can, with
good grace, ask something for others or
plead a favorite cause. His one inter-
vention, however,in the political history
of his time, was, 3,unsuccessful. Its un-
derstood that both Mr.. r.Tennyson and Mr..
Carlyle spoke most earnestly to the late
chief of the opposition and urged him
to pause before definitely committing
the English nation to the democratic
platform. But, as was finally observed,
poetry and philosophy pleaded in vain
at the feet of ambition. Alfred Tenny-
son is SO greet a name in English litera-
ture that one may be permitted to OBJ
serve in all good humor that the poet
is not necessarily always a prophet.
For one thing, "Mrs. Locksley" is alive
at the present day and is mated with
no "clown," but with q most honest,
honorable and cultured country gentle
man. Mrs. Locksley does not weep
during the small hours Of the night
as far as one can judge from fresh and
rosy looks in the daytime.
Possibly Mr.. Tennyson would do we'll
to study more seriously some of the
great French masters. French critics
contemptuously speak Of the works of
most modern English poets as "raw
meat" and undoubtedly they would Of
ten be better for little careful dress
ing. The Laureate has, unfortunately,
a prejudice against French literature.
Every one remembers the poisonous
honey stolen from France" as applied
to Mr.. Swinburne's verses; though, by
the way, Mr.. Swinburne's rejoinder
about homemade treacle" is not so
we'll known as it deserves to be. The
one French writer Mr.. Tennyson loves
is Victor Hugo; Lamartine he thinks
feeble, and Balzac positively puts him
out of temper.
In connection with men and things
French, one may be allowed to recall
the old story of two distinguished Bri-
tons in the good city of Paris. The
name of the one was Thackeray;' that of
the other Tennyson. They put up at
the same hotel and were on terms of
personal friendship. One day Thackeray
went out, leaving Tennyson in his sitting
room. Anxious for the latter's comfort,
for it was winter, 'ne Iaissez pas sortir
lie feu," quoth Thackeray in his own
detestable French, to the servant in at
tendance. After two hours stroll he
returned to find the whole hotel in
eommotion. The landlord, looking
peremtory notices to quit, informed
Thackeray that "the madam" was grow
ing dangerous, and insisted on being let
out. He must send to the Commissary
of Police without further, delay.
Ihackeray asked IOr an explanation.
''Ne laissez pas sortir lie tou" was the
impression his language had conveyed
to the servant

A GREEN BAY, Wisconsin dispatch of
March Sth says: A fire at Green Bay,
at 2 o'clock this morning totally destroy
ed the Hartman hotel, a large four
story brick and contents. The flames
spread rapidly, and it was with difficult
ty that the boarders escaped; some OF
them were compelled to make their exit
by means Of ropes, extending from the
windows to the ground. Loss from
$4,000 to $4,000; insured for S23, 900.
A SPRINGFIELD, III. dispatch of March
8th says: The rail mill of the Spring
field Iron company, was destroyed by
fire, tonight; loss $4,000; insured for
$4,000. Four hundred men will be
thrown out of employment, temporari-
ly. The company will at once rebuild,
and it is thought the mill will be in op-
Grafton again by the first of April.
VERY heavy rains swept over Califor-
MIA last week. A dispatch says Yuba
and Feather rivers are high. Outer
levees Of Marysyille broke this morning.
The suburbs were placed under water;
inside OF the levee protected the city.
Much damage was done to property in
the Russian river valley. Six inches of
rain fell; the river over-fowed Its banks
and flooded the valley; bridges were
carried away; the North Pacific railroad
was washed out SO that it cannot be re-
paired for several days. A Los Ange-
los dispatch says the reservoir with 100,-
100000 gallons of water broke this
morning, so far from the city, however,
that the damage is confined to flooding
stects and cellars.
A MANIToWoC, Wis, dispatch says
The examination of Nels Nelson, one
of the charavari party through whose
agency Gadmond Olson was shot and
killed at his own door, was finished to-
day, and Nelson was held to bail TO ap-
pear at the next term of the circuit
court to be tried for manslaughter. The
district attorney then entered q noAe
prOSegtti as to the other twenty defen-
dants who comprised the party, with
the exception of Martin Landerson, K.
S. Knudson and John Larson. The last
named persons were armed with guns
on the occasion OF the charavari, and
are held for examination on the same
charge as Nelson. The killing was probab-
ly purely accidental, but the vigorous
prosecution they have undergone will
have tendency to break up disturban-
ces of that kind in this section.

Buying Elephants i'm Trunks.
National Hotel Reporter.

The proprietor of the Everett House,
st. Louis, recently had sale of the
baggage left at his hotel by frauds and
impecunious patrons. There were
eightv-three trunks and valises offered
for sale, and the total amount realized
was $S3. A large crowd was present,
but the bidding was far from spirited,
as the contents of the trunks were not
exposed to view. Many laughable in
cidents happened. One old gentleman
insisted on prying open the trunks with
a big knotted cane, and would only de-
sist when made to do so forcibly. At
the commencement of the sale he was
observed to be closely eyeing huge
Saratoga which had been left at the
Everett House by female adventures.
ly fumbled in his pockets and brought
forth 10 cents, with which he started
the bidding. Finally it was knocked
down to him for 50. "Open it, open
it," yelled the crowd, and he did so.
The first thing seen was roll of news
papers; the next, more newspapers, and
the last lot of bricks, among which
were found a sheet of foolscap with this
inscription on it: sold again! and nev-
er got your money back. Yours in
haste" A bov bought trunk for 40
cents. and found in it about SO worth
of clothes and valuable breast pin,
evidently intended for lady. A Ia
borer purchased rickety receptacle
held together by ropes. 1t was full 81
papers and letters, the latter written by
lady to her husband and full of pitt
full tails of poverty, distress and sick
nsss. To enumerate all the mistakes
in buying would take column. Suf-
fee is to say that grocer bought some
surgical instruments, a druggist a sack
Of dried apples and quantity of beans,
and market woman a complete skele-
ton, carefully polished and set on wires
but not put together. The sale wound
up with free fight which the police
had some trouble in stopping.

Mrs. Hayes Victorious.
Washing gton, D. G. Star.


Mrs. Hayes is being strongly reinforc-
ed on the wine question by all who at
tended the entertainment of Tuesday
evening, since the universal comment
is. that the order preserved in the sup
per-rooms was in such agreeable con-
trast to the indecorous behavior at
many parties, even small ones at pri-
vate houses, given during this and other
seasons, where wine was served. At
some small parties it has even become
necessary to remove the decanters after
they had been on the table. Surely, it
is better not to offer wine to ones guests
than to rebuke them, even tacitly, by
Withdrawing it before the evening is
over. A widely-circulated account of
intOxication at a recent handsome en-
tertainment, and gross violation of de-
corum in the supper-rocm, is mentioned
whenever the events of the season are
discussed, and the conclusion of all such
conversation is, "Mrs. Hayes is right, af-
ter all, about the Wine"

WASHINGTON.

GEN. BUFFERS individual report upon
the Potter investigation, makes the
document some 200 pages.
AFTER long contest between differ
ent aspirants, the president appointed
ex,congressman Lorenzo Crounse col
lector of internal revenue for Nebraska.
IT is understood that message veto
ing the river and harboI appropriation
bill was prepared, but under great pres
sure the executive signature was OBJ
tanned.
The only senator who has served con-
tinuously from March 6, 1861, the time
when the republican party assumed con-
troll of congress, and who will occupy a
seat in the next senate, is Anthony, Of
Rhode Island.
ALL the annual appropriation bills ex-
cept the legislative, executive and judi
cial bill and the army bill, were signed
by the president and have become laws,
together with the bill making the requi-
site appropriation to pay arrears of
pensions.
THE report of the Reno court of in
quiry, after giving the history of events
Immediately preceding the battle of the
Little Bighorn, and parts taken by MI
ior Reno's command in the fight, says
was excellent, and while subordinates in
some instances did more for the safety
of the command by brilliant display of
courage than did Major Reno. there
was nothing in his Conduci which re-
quires animadversi on from this court.
A SPECIAL dispatch says, it is intimat-
ed that the president will direct the sec
retary of war to expend only such ap-
preparations In the river AMI harbor bill
as are for works Of a national character,
and not touch any of the money appro-
priated for small creeks that will hardly
float washtubs. President Grant fol
lowed this course once when approprla-
tiOns were made late in the summer,
and saved the country several millions
of dollars. 1t is in President Hayes
power to save as large all amount out
of the appropriations confined in the
river and harbor bill, just passed, and
he is disposed to do it.
Arr +hN er.~er~iation hiPo In making
appropriations have une dause thai uuG
money shall be paid out If any moneys
in the treasury not otherwise appropri-
ated. There are now doubts whether
money enough will be iound in the
treasury, not otherwise appropriated to
meet the expenditures inthe river and
harbor and pension areas bills. The
secretary of the treasury viii, of course,
have discretion in this mater. and it is
for him to decide what moneys have
been appropriated. If he hooses to say
that the gold reserve has ben appropri-
ated for redemption purposes, the river
and harbor appropriations will not be
paid.

COUNT MoITKE has directed the gen
eral staffto make the Afghan war sub
ject of special study. The German war
office follows the events in Afghanistan
with unremitting interest, and a partic-
ular department has been instituted to
take notice ofwhat is going on and to
report regularly to Count Moltke upon
the progress ofthe campaign. Several
German officers at the beginning of the
war solicited leave from the British
government, to accompany the invad-
ing force as spectators, but under the
circumstances permission was refused.

AN explanation is now given Of the
origin of the hoax as to a pirate ship
being off the harbor Of Cork. The gun
boat Goshawk has been for some time
past engaged in protecting the fisheries
at Blackrock, near Cork, and it is sup
posed that, in order to carry out their
illegal practices, some fisherman circu-
lated the humor that pirate vessel
was off the harbor The intelligence
being conveyed to Lloyd's, the gunboat
was ordered out to look after this phan-
tom depredator, with the result already
known. In the meantime the poach-
ers, it is stated, made large hauls.
About two years ago a hoax resulting
in sending the Goshawk on perilous
trip to Vigo bay, the fishermen in Cork
harbor benefting considerably by her
absence.
