T,nnrson,s Personal Appearance.

From the Boston Transcript.
Mr.. Tennyson, walking in London
park the other day, met writer who
describes the poet thus: "Ile looked
tall, somewhat stout, round-shOuldered,
and he walked with a stick as though
the govt were hanging about his legs or
feet. He had a long beard, which al
most buried his face, and wore pair OF
large, round, Chinese-looking spectacles.
He had on a very brOad-brimmed,
weather-worn felt hat, dark trousers
and CATERS, several undercoatS or jack
cts, covered all over by thin, shabby
looking red tweed dust coat, buttoned
very tightly, as though it were much
too small for him. Dangling outside,
from what should have been a clean,
white shirt front, was a pair OF large
gold-rimmed nose spectacles. He was
one Of the oldest-looking creatures |

Gently delivered lecture, spoken OF by
the press as liable and mastery" in
which he disayowed his beliciin the di-
WITTY of the Christian religion and the
inspiration of the Scriptures. Mr..
CLEMENS has a perfect right to "disa-
vow" what he pleases; but the proper
thin. for him to have done would have
been to first dissolve his connection

ditions ofmembership is belief in the

The Virginia negro who was sent to
the penitentiary at Richmond Tor es-
pousing a white woman at Washington,
where miscegenation is perfectly legal,
has failed to obtain any satisfaction
from the United States Circuit Court
Judge Hughes, before whom the negro
sued for a writ OF hdbeds corpus, has re-
fused to grant it, on the ground that the
United States courts have no jurisdic-
ton over questions Of marriage. The
negro and his Caucasian wife probably
will be compelled to serve out their time
IN the penitentiary, regretting in the
meantime that they were not wise
enough to remain in the District OF
Columbia or emigrate to Massachusetts
or Kansas, where miscegenatlon Is
smiled upon.

man action. He is always progressive,
and while in fact one of the most dill
gent students of books, and one OF the
most highly cultured and scholarly men
in the church, he does not shut himself
out from the world. He reads the news
papers, reads the secular press, knows
what the world is doing, what the hu-
manity that occupies his pews is think
ing about, what it is aspiring after, what
motives are influencing it, and by what
it can be operated upon. He is thus
always comprehensive, a man among
men. and embodies the minister and the
man, the earnest Christian and the
social companion in more harmonious
proportions and always in better equl-
limbrium than is often manifested IN
the ranks of the clergy.
If to these qualities be added a very
fair stock of independence and smack
of arbitrariness in his manners, we have
some ofthe characteristics, perhaps, that
have pointed out DIR. GEORGE as one
upon whom the office OF Bishop would
set we'll and be borne with dignity. 1t
is a good thing to have the man suggest
the office. An ancient dialogue runs:
cole, how did you know that HERcU-
LES was god?' And loLE answers that
"when he saw THEsEUs he desired that
he might see him give battle, or at least
guide his horses in the chariot race, but
HERCULES conquered, whether he
walked or sat or whatever thing he did.
Perhaps it was HERCULES suggestive
ness that made him a chief among the
gods. and a suggestive fitness is not
bad accompaniment fora Bishop.

ing at 7 o'clock to plead to the charge Of
committing the outrage on Cora Heslep
and Ida Dunn Mt their res idence on June
9th. The warrant accused them Of an
assault TO murder and was sworn TO by
Detective Daniel Cry. They asked for
continuance Of ten days in order to give
their counsel time to examine into the
case. The continuance was granted and
the case set for September 25lh at I2
O'Clock. Their bonds were set at $500
each. Hugh Roddan, father of William,
and Frank Kirshner were offered as sure
ties and the accused were released. Wher
Marshal WnGde read the warrant 10
Mrs. Roddnn she burst into tears and de-
clared her innocence Of the charge and
seemed greatly agitated. Her husband
was not so much affected, and he also
pleaded not guilty. The impression here
is that the arrest has been made on the
disclosures and assertions of Ida Dunn,
who, since her complete recovery, has
been talking quite freely. She has made
n number Of statements to officers and
press representatives, Mt different times,
and they have always asserted that she
knew more than she wished to tell.

SHOCKING MURDER AT THE STATE
Prison Another savage murder was
committed at the Penitentiary at SIN
Quentin "Wednesday morning about Z
O'Clock. As the prisoners we're ascend
ing the main stairway. returning from
breakfast, and just as they reached the
head of the fight, a prisoner known as
'Scotty" stepped behind Smith, the
DownievIle stage robber, and seizing him
with one hand, stabbed him seven times
with large knife made from file. One
OF the cuts severed the jugul lar vein, and
every one of them is Of n fatal character.
Smith fell and died in few minutes. The
murderer has been in prison for some
time and has been regarded as danger
Gus character. He escaped just after the
fire in the prison same two years ago, and
was reca ptured. How he got the knife
is not known.

which can float and carry colors will oc-

General Grants arrival will be univer-

homes forsaken. Every craft on the bay
which turns wheel, spreads sai or

ings and swell the feet that escorts the
great Captain from the Inn its of the sea

will be thronged as they have never been

morale is far above that which watches

all that is good, strong and intellectual in
