& Nnny SON,

A fair audience, considering the stat
of the weather, greeted Thomas Chase
l.. l.. D., President Of Haverford Col
lese,t to hear his lecture "n" Tennysop,
at the Friends Meeting House, Fourth
and West streets.
The speaker analyzed the subjects
and characters of many Of Tennvson'
poems and quoted largely from them.
The social problems of the day fur
nished the theme for many of Tenny
sons writings and were dwelt upon in
an advanced and liberal manner. Like
Wordsworth, the simp, beauty of ma.
ture inspired him often to verse. His
great lCve tor his native isle led him on
various occasions to write on the great
political questions of the times. His
poems on var were written when all
England was Mt fever heat over the
Crimeau war, and, naturally, are i'm
bued with the same spirit that inspired
the nation. Among his works "In
Memuriam," written on tine occasion Of
the death of his friend, is ranked as
being one of his best. The "ldyls of
the King" distinctly teaches TO the
reader a great moral lesson conveyed
in highly artistic manner. His love
poems are written in an c,edpHIy
graceful manner, and are tender and
ChivA riC n sentiment.

A PrODlOaI.

It's certainly a perplexing problem to
the Mayor and Chief Of Police what
disposition to make Of the homeless,
penniless persons, Hho almost nightly
apply at Police Station for food and
lodging. The experience Of few
| yearsago, when the place was ovetrun
with vermin from dodgers, has caused
prohibitory order to be issued by the
Police Committee of Council, and there
Is no other place in the city where
they can stay.
lfthey should succeed in eluding the
watcbmaD, and slip into the gas house,
or some OF the iron mills, the pro-
liabilities are, that the police will be
telephoned for, and if they cannot give
a satisfactory account of themselves
the Mayor is bound by the law to send
them to Jail as vagrants. Many Of
these men are not worthy of any assist
ance, and being too lazy to work, they
are glad to he sent to jail where tn ey
can spend portion of the winter in
idleness. There are others, however,
who are unfortunate, and are trying to
reach their friends in some distant city,
and some means should be adopted to
give such ~ thoss shelter from the
inciement weather and something to
eat.

At Media, on Monday, there " ere be
gun proceedings in the babeas corpus
case brought by Engiueer Melville to
recover possession OF his three children.
The return to the writ was made by
Mrs. Melville's counsel, after which the
father took the stand. He tcld how
much money he had allowed his wife
during his absence, and said that as tar
back as 1877, on his arrival home after
| u long absence, his wife toll him that
she had been accused by the peighbols
Of being addicted 20 drink and asked
him II he would believe it, Hs said
that he would not until he should see
proof against 1t. One SUNDAY morning
after wards his wife offered to carees
him, when he detected the smell Of I'D
uor on her breath. He tod her 10 20
away. On another occasion, when the
engineer returned from q trial trip on
which he had gone that morning, she
met him at the railway station and on
the way back to the house she fell
down and he and a friend assisted her
home. This was also attributed to in.
tOxicatiOn. He then detailed tho pain
full scene which occurred on bis return
to Sharon Hin, and told how he had re-
garded her confinement in the Norris
town Hospital rs necessary. Several
of the neighb0rs were called, who said
Mrs. Melville WAS given to dulging
in strong drink, but they could not re-
member having seen her under the in
huence Of 1t.

The Democratic leaders met last even
ing in Boston TO celebrate the anniver
sary Of Jackson's victory at New Or
leans by dinner, with formal speeches
by the leading members of tho party
AT these gatherings II has come 10 b.
the custom TO formulate whateve new
projects nave been conceived in the
minds of the managers, either for the
advancement of party interests Or tht
development OF any new dspai lures
The banquet at the Etvers House
partCok largely Of the nature OF a
Democratic jubilee, in view Of the
election of Gen. Butler 10 the Governor
chip, and the compste ascendency
gained by the Democracy in the city
government OF Boston. II was also
made the occasion for squarely an
nouncing the purpose Of Buffers sup
porters to press his claims az Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency in 1884.
Col. Jonas II. French, the Chairman tf
the Democratic stat Committee, un.
dor whose auspices the dinner was Civ
en-, sounded the keynote for the other
speakers in this respect, and In a very
significant speech put the General on
tx Governor Spraaue, of Rhode
Island, in his speoCh indorsed this sen
timeut, saying that he believed that
the country is drifting toward a dan.
gercns abyss, aud that Gen. Butler is
the best man OF all to bring it into a
safo haven.
ExGov. Plaisted, of Maine, said that
tho people OF Maine GlOried in the cleo
tion Of Gen. Butler as u Now Orleans
victory in Massachusetts, and as the
battle of New Orleans made Jackson
President, go this event might make
Gov. Butler Presiden. of the United
States, and enable him to speak not

tackled with virul sIce, bitterness in
Justice and personal vituperation as
enunciating this docrine (which" said
he, "n this day adopt for Que not
that to the victors belong the spoiIs,
but that tho Government belongs t., its
friends" Speaking OF tho future, the
Governor said tqat II they severed
away from tie people they were gone
ii they continued faithful 70 the p. opIe
the governing power would continue 10

aluding 10 tho charge that hs was u
leveler, Ls said he was leveler Of the
mos. determined sort, bat 70 long as
God would print in III, short remain
der of his life, it would bs his effort to
level up, and not to level down.
Mayor Palmer said that new era

dicaton Of Democracy in State and ma.
tion, and 1884 will see 1t esta alished in

A theatrical company playing Uncle
Toms Cabin is going through the
South, and bloodhounds are introduced
In the chase of Eliza, the fugitive
slave. The play does not seem to
excite much animosity among the
people, but the dogs are objected to. La
Norfolk the feeling ran 10 high that
the canius feature was omitted from
the performance The hounds used
for the purpose of tracing runaway
slaves were not bloodhouuds, according
to the assertion OF several old Virgi.
ians, but were common hounds, trained
to follow anything, even a wagon. They
were not used for huE ting, but were
kept 0uly for the purpose OF tracin z
fugitive slaves. They were harmless,
80 far as biting was concerned. A
South Carolina man, who formerly
owned q thousand negroes, declares
that no genuine bloodhound was ever
seen In that State.
