Tennyson's Haunts,

A private letter from New Yorker in
London says: 81 had the good fortune
the other day to come upon Tennyson
taking his chop and kidney at that house
some three doors above the Old Temple
Bar, which he has made famous. sThe
Cock. [ had the curiosity to look for
half pint O. port in the poem, but I
saw at the bard's elbow no wine, fruity
or crusted, but plain pewter of stout,
which the author of 'Locksley Hall dis
cussed like any northern farmer of them
all. He is aged and worn, and bent in
the back, with hollow chest, but think
these are rather the effects of brooding
habit of mind and body, than the marks
OF physical debility, for he looked tough
and muscular. Tennyson is not a beau
ty. Now, you must know that the head
waiter, immortalized in the poem, is still
first Ganymede at the Cock, and it was
tine to see him waiting on the Laureate.
The man is tremendously conscious of
his distinction, and keeps watching

Parson BroWnIoW's Birthmark.

While incidentally relating some war
"reminiscences recently, General Stead
man said that while he was in command
at Chattanooga he was visited by the no.
torious Parson Brownlow, who became
his guest. One daywhile changing their
Undertaking the parson exhibited to
him most singular birth-mark on his
body. 1t was perfectly formed snake,
not coiled, nor yet extended, but curved
as serpents are often seen. It was of a
red color, and with every feature SO dis
tinct that the indentations for the eyes
were plainly visible. Said the general:
''Physiologists, I presume, can readily
explain the cause of the singular mark,
but [ am at a loss to understand how his
whole nature became so serpentine as it
was. Venomous, vindictive and cunning,
he had as much snake as human nature
in his composition. The head of the
snake in question was just under the
parsons left breast. The body of the
reptile extended down over his ribs,
and was six or eight inches long.

Another of the Self Workers.

A remarkable machine was described
at a recent meeting of the society den
couragement pour lindustrie rationale
at Paris called the PHOTOGRAPH, because
when in use it traces mechanically on
paper the outlines of the grounds over
which it travels. It consists of small
carriage mounted on two wheels, drawn
by one man and attended by another,
who marks the levels at the proper places,
and underneath hangs an iron rod with a
large ball at it's lower end, serving as a
pendulum. The pendulum maintains a
constant vertical position, while the
machine inclines one way or the other,
according as it ascends or descends a
slope To the upper end of the rod is
fitted pencil, which marks on sheet
of paper the ups and downs of the
country traversed, whether on an
ordinary road or across trackless fields.
The exact profile is thus recorded to a
given scale. At the same time one of
the wheels, acting the part of chain
bearer, measures and indicates for the
distance travelled throughout the survey.
For surveyors and others engaged in
leveling operations, this machine would
appear to be eminently serviceable, and
there is talk of it's being made use of in
new general survey of France contem-
plated by the government.

Ugh !!

A consignment Of bananas was sent
the other day to Cincinnati and one
bunch of the fruit was purchased by VIM.
Carroll, the proprietor of store. Con-
cealed in a bunch was snake. The next
morning, when the clerk was cutting off
some bananas for customer, the snake
protruded it's head from among the fruit.
Clerk and customer were both astonished
at this extraordinary spectacle. The
snake showed a disposition to crawl
down the stem of the bunch, and when it
had got down far enough it was knocked
down upon the floor and secured. It is
three feet in length and about an inch
and half in diameter in the largest part
of the body. It is covered with spots
and blotches, and in general appearance
looks something like rattlesnake. The
spots are rather brighter than those of a
rattlesnake, while the head is shaped like
that of viper. The tail tapers to q
point, and for two or three inches is al
most black. Altogether the snake is an
ugly looking customer. Mr.. Carroll will
probably present it to the Geological
garden.

OUT IN THE COLD.
BY b, r. LONG.

Out in the cold now I'm wandering alone,
Far from my friends and far from my home;
Far from the scenes of my childhood so dear,
Shrinking before the cold worlds heartless jeer,
Once had friends I thought loving and true;
once, amid pleasure and honor, grew;
Once, Oh the word has a sorrowfu1 tone,
For pleasure has left me and honor is gone.
Children at one time fondled with glee;
Where they now, with light hearts and frssf
Where are the dear ones once loved SO wellS
Why have they left me, can any one tell?
All! remember my poor wife had died;
Myself and my two sons stood close by her side
She took both their hands, and whispering said
Take of thy father when mother is dead.
The homestead gave them; twas all could give
Beneath its old roof they said could live.
But soon change came, and l. poor and old.
Was turned from its threshold out in the cold
Father. forgive them the deed they have done,
Though they have plenty and nave none;
Though their old father is left all alone,
Far from the ones he loves, far from his home,
Soon the cold waters of death ripping by
Will watt my frail spirit to regions on high;
There will meet my dear children of old,
That once turned their father out in the cold.

Curious Fatality.

Last September Francis II. Kelly,
James and Henry Briggs Cbrothers),
William Barkely, and Thos. Gum, five
young woodsmen, came from New Bruins
wick to work in the lumber woods along
the Susquehanna. James Briggs was
killed by a falling tree a few days after
going to work. His brother went to
Michigan to work in the pines. AS he
was standing near a fellow chopper one
day the axe slipped from the choppers
hands and struck Briggs in the stomach,
killing him instantly. In January last
William Barley fell from log on the
Susquehanna during a drive, and was
drowned. Some time afterward, as
Thomas Gum was starting logs on hill
in the woods, a log suddenly started
rolling. It struck Gum, knocked him
down, rolled over him, and crushed him
to death.
Francis Kelly, the last one of the five
comrades, then went to work for Cochran
Brothers, in Medick's Run, in Cameron
County. One day last week, he with
others, was driving logs down the stream,
and heavy jam occurred. Celly went
out on the jam to loosen the logs. A
large hemlock tree stood on the bank.
The high water had washed away the
earth from around its roots. One of the
men saw that it was tottering, and likely
to fall across the creek directly where
Kelly was standing. The men shouted
to Kelly. Before he could get out of the
way the tree fell, and crushed the young
man to death. He had written to his
mother in New Brunswick some time
before, telling her of the singular fatality
that had befallen the men who came to
the states with him. A few hours after
death a letter addressed to him arrived
at Driftwood post Office. It was from
his mother. She appealed to him not to
engage in driving logs

JONES AND THE MINT.

From private dispatches received by parties
in this city yesterday, there is every indication
that Jones Is waking up to the Importance Of
the situation in regard to the Carson Mint,
and is about to institute vigorous campaign
in its defence. Daggett and Jones are now
hard at work to save the institution. which
means the saving of Carson, and nothing now
remains but for Sharon to step to the front
and Join them. This would be grand cp-
portunlty for Sharon TO show that he is will

can save the Mint, as he seldom tackles

that he means business.
