THURSDAY, JANUARY "a, 1884.
The Poet Laureate.

Aldworth was built some dozen years
ago, when Mrs. Tennyson had been or
dered change and Freshwater was
found to be unbearable and overcrowd-
ed during the summer months. 1t
must be borne in mind that to hospita-
bic people there are dangers from.
friendly inroads as well as from the at
tacks of enemies. The new house,
where for many years past the family
has spent its summers, stands on the
summit of q high lonely hill in Surrey.
and yet it is not quite out of reach of
London life. 1t is white stone house
with many broad windows facing
great view and long terrace, like
some one of those at Siena or Perugia,
with a low parapet of stone, where
ivies and roses are trained, making a
foreground to the lovely haze of the
distance. Sometimes at Aldworth,
when the summer days are at their
brightest; and high Breakdown top has
been we'll warmed and summed, | have
seen little procession coming along
the terrace walk, and proceeding by
its green boundary into garden, where
the sun shines its hottest upon shell
tered lawn, and where standard rose
trees burn their flames. Mr.. Tennyson
in his broad hat goes first, dragging the
garden-chair in which Mrs. Tennyson
lies; perhaps one son is pushing from
behind, while another follows with
rugs and cushions for the rest of the
party. If the little grandsons and their
Young mother are there the family
group is complete. One special day l
remember when we all sat for an hour
round about the homely chair and its
gentle occupant. 1t seemed not unlike
a realization of some Italian picture
that had somewhere seen, the tranquil
eyes, the peaceful heights, the glorious
summer day, some sense of lasting
calm, of beauty beyond the present
hour.
No impression of this life at Aid
worth and Farringford would be COM
plete if, besides the parents, the sons
were not seen, adding each in his own
| measure to the grateful sight of
united household. Haitian, the eldest
son, has been for years past the ad-
wiser, the friend and companion of his
| father and mother at home; and Lionel,
the younger, although living away in
London in his own home, all the same
| holds fast to the family tradition of
| parents and children closely united
through the chances and changes of
life, and trusting and supporting one
| another.
Mr. Tennyson works alone in the
early hours of the morning, and comes
down long after his own frugal meal is
! over to find the guests assembled
| rOund the social brea kfaSt table He
generally goes out for walk before
luncheon, with a son and friend per-
haps, and followed by q couple of dogs.
All Londoners know the look of the
stalwart figure, and the fine face and
broad brimmed felt hat as he advances,

How Certain New York Restaurants
are Proyisioned.

Where do these beggars dispose of
the surplus food they collect?" asked
the reporter.
They sell it to saloons of the lower
class for free lunches. Am I sure of
it? Well, am as sure as any man can
be of a thing which he never actually
saw. have had the admission from
beggars themselves, and in speaking
in our society the other night about
this practice | was interrupted by a
lady who said she knew positively of
one case in which it was done. In
short, there can be no doubt at all that
after collecting their baskets full of
eatables, the beggars sell enough to
enable them to buy whisky and tobacco,
and then eat the remainder One dav
| had an old woman up in. court with
an enormous basket full of food which
she had just collected from charitable
doors, and | asked her what she was
going to do with it all. and she stam-
mered some reply about hayinga large
family, but there was no possible doubt
about her habit of selling her collec-
ton. She was committed, and took
the basket to prison with her. There
was enough in it to make her indepen-
dent of prison fare for many day"

He Was Right.

Hans Growyost, worthy farmer,
who has been lifelong resident of
Berks, has shrewd wife, who has
long rendered his life anything but a
couch of roses.
One day, not long ago, she, in a fit
of pique, picked up her goods and left
him, vowing never to come back. The
news went round among his neighbors
you know how intelligence of all
kinds does travel in the country-and
at night several of them, of whom L

He sat on his front post putting away
at his pipe.

man, as he disturbedly knocked out the
ashes of his pipe, "you vas right. She

Helpful Wives.

Among the helpful wives of men In
public life and scientific or artistic pur-
suits, Mrs. S. S. Cox is accounted one.
She has a firm way of dealing with Wis
itors who would waste her husbands
time. ..Mr. Cox is not well, she will
pleasantly say; Il shall not allow him
to see any one to-day, or even be oblig-
ed to attend to message" The Prin-
cess Bismarck calls her husband out
to take his medicine, if visitor does
not go away when he ought. Mrs.
Harry Edwards, wife of the actor and
eatomolcgist, helps him in making his
collections. Some of the insects are
the merest specks, yet she will detect
their presence on any chance-passed
bush. and seat herself calmly on the
ground, investigating every leaf and
stalk, if necessary, till she has gathered
all that is of value there to {, natural
list. There is an architect, too, who is
so busy getting government orders that
he has never time to fill up most i'm
portant gap in his education-for he
has not learned French enough to read
the standard architectural works in
that language. His wife studies for
him, not only French, as any one must
learn it, but also the long technical vo-
cabulary and phraseology of architect
ure she mastered, that she may explain
to her husband the text of his French
illustrated books of his profession. A
celebrated musical director, too, owes
whatever of his success was dependent
upon good health, to his wife's care.
In his student years he was SO absent
minded and careless about his eating
that he would 90 to restaurant and
snatch meal now and then at irregu-
lar hours, eating always the same one
dish, which was the cheapest on the
carte. Hence dyspepsia and extreme
variability of humor and of artistic dis
positions. 'tAs soon as was married, "
says his wife, II resolved that my Leo
pold should have his regular hearty
meals every day, and be made to eat
them, too" Under this constraint her

HickenIooper's Dog.

General Hickenlooper, of Cincinnati,
bought Newfoundland pup last sum-
mer for his children. HE was so
small, says the General, in tender
yet anxious voice, ''that comfortable
bed could be made for him in a band
box, but he began to grow fast. l
bought him dog kennel, calculating
on his growth, of course, but it soon
proved too small, and | had to get a
bigger one. Finally l bought third
kennel, the largest made, almost as
big as street ear, and Towser got SO
large that he had to come out of that
before he could turn over, and | gave
him the door-yard. To keep him from
getting out into the street and fright
ening passers-by, built high fence
around the yard. The dog leaped over
it Then / built lattice-work so high
as almost to hide the view from my
second story windows. Towser tore
that down, and would amuse himself
by corralling people in their houses /
sold him number of times, but he
wouldn't stay sold. / hired policemen
to kill him, but still he greets me each
morning with the same bland dog
smile. No, don't want to buy dog. -

Robert Humphreys, of Barlow coun-
ty, Kentucky jealous of his wife, peered
through his bedroom, and saw what
he fancied was the head of man in
bed. He fired and fled. 1t was his
own child that he killed. He was sem
fenced to death, but before the dav for
the hanging he escaped. This was
twelve years ago. Three months ago
several Barlow county men, prospect
ing in Catoosa county, found him work

sentenced. The commission of lunacy
has just declared him hopelessly in

The Soudan.

A good many people are at present
puzzled over the 'Soudan," or which
they hear so much. They are not quite
sure if it would betray an unpardona-
BILE amount of ignorance for them to
confess to general kind of unae-
quaintedness with what this Soudan is
and how far it extends. Would it give
these people-who. by the way, need
not be ashamed to confess their igno-
rance-any kind of satisfactory infor-
nation to tell them that Soudan is the
name given by the Egyptians, to all
their dependent Empire stretching
from the Third Cataract for an indef-
mite distance towards the lakes, and
from the Red Sea to the western bor-
der of DarfurP This Empire comprises
much of Nubia, all SEMINAR, all Kor-
dofan, and all Darfur. 1t is-said to be
about 1000 miles square, or as large
as India. The vast extent of LOCO, 900
square miles is said to be inhabited by
about 120, 10000 people, most of them
Mussulmans, and many OF these of ex-
ceptional ferocity, fanaticism, and dar-
ing. Eventually, it seems likely, the
English will have to tackle with this
wild, ferocious crowd, if at any rate it
invade Egypt, which is far more un-
likely. '

larger roots in proportion; q they

cheaper than freighting large ones, and

less exposed to high winds, which
loosen roots and kill many transplanted
trees; co planters can form heads and
train them to their own liking; "a with
good care, in say five years, they will
oyertake the common, large-sized trees.
Without good care, better not plantany
size.
Here is a point from the Rural New
Yorker. Apropos Of the foot-and-

a Foolhardy Exploit.

When in Garibaldi's British Legion
at the b~ombardment of Capua, q soldier,
who afterward became Brigadier Gener-
al MacIver, was challenged for d basket
of wine to show himself over the breast

next minute he sprang on the parapet.

around him, and there lie stood as
calmly as if "a parade, firing and re-
loading and still without CESSATION the

of death signing around him and even
striking near him, like q fierce storm OF
hail. Ere long his cap was shot off his
head, his loose red Galibaldian shirt
was perforated, and his body
actually grazed in many places, and yet
he kept his stand. Each instant his
comrades expected to see him fall back
dead or MORALLY wounded, but he never
finched 0 stirred even except to load
or discharge his rifle. Most Of the Of
ficers We're almost paral5zed at his tenn

out: For heavens sake, MacIver come
down! You have tempted Providence
too long, Thus adiured, the Young
Hilander fred a parting shot from his
rifle, and then coolly lighted a cigarwith
his face still to the enemy. Then he
turned deliberately round and jumped
down amongst his astonished compan-
ions, having been five minutes on the
parapet.
