Lord !Tennyson, who appears in his
old age not averse from explaining the
meaning of his words, has lately fa-
vored an English correspondent with
light upon a dark passage in The Lady
of Shallott. Here is his commlnica-
ton: Little breezes dusk and shiv-
er' may be taken to mean darken and
shiver-the light and shade playing up
on water in q light that is fitful." Is it
not about time to start Tennyson
Society?
The Sultan Of Morocco will not per-
NIT foreigners to acquire land in his
country. On it's becoming known to
him that an American resident was rent
ing lands for Il term of years, orders
were at once issued declaring that any
lease exceeding tho limit of twelve
months was to be considered invalid,
and further, when the Comte de Chav-
agnac, q French citizen who had pur-
chased cerain mountainous tracts in the
Riff county for mining purposes, endeav-
ored to visit his newly and surreptitous-
ly acquired estates, he was not allowed
to penetrate the district in.which his
property is situated.

A correspondent writes to the Toron-
to Globe that $50 great has been the So
cial distinction granted to members of
the legal fraternity, SO many and so
splendid have heen the prizes reserved
for those learned in the law, that great
numbers utterly regardless in many cases
of their want of fitness have rushed into
the study Of the law, needless of the
already overcrowded state of the pro-
fession." It is believed however, that
"when it becomes generally understood
that multitudes Of lawyers are continu-
ally on the verge of starvation (many
having to depend on the hard earnings
Of their parents OF on the generosity of
rich fathers in law those destitute of
the qualifications necessary to forensic
success will pause before entering the
legal profession without the mental
powers, the logical acumen, or the NOR
al stability and integrity which are in
dispensable to permanent success at the
bar"

The inexorable and oppressive bur-
den of the military systems of Europe
is shown in strong light by statistics
published in Germany. It is shown in
the figures that 14,702 men were sen
fenced during the past year for at
tempting to emigrate for the purpose
of avoiding required military service.
Cases against Ia ,178 more offenders in
this particular line ore still pending.
But worse still the number of other
men from whom reservice is due. and
who during the year past refused both
to report for duty and to furnish the
required excuses for the failure to en-
roll themselves, amounted to the extra
ordinary number of 103,251. The i'm
perial government attributes the
trouble to the negligence of the officers
whose duty it is to attend to the enroll
ment of the inhabitants.

Wounds Of Generals In Action.

curious article might be written
on the immunity from wounds in action
of some generals, and the ill-fortune of
others in becoming the billet for bullet.
No commander was ever more forward in
the fighting line than Sheridan, yet he
never got scratch. Skobeloff, who many
time went at it with his own good
sword, and in his white coat and on his
white charger headed every charge with
recklessness that men called madness, had
as complete an immunity as if he carried
the charmed life that his soldiers ascribed,
and was wounded only in the quiet
trenches by chance bullet fred into the
air mile away. Wellington was but
once hit; the bullet that carried away his
boot heel scarce gave him a confusion.
Grant was never struck no more was
Napoleon. Of Sir Neville Chamberlain,
again, one of the most distinguished Off
GERS of our Indian army, the saying goes
that he never went into action without re-
ceiving wound, and the gallant old man
has been fighting pretty steadily ever
since the first Afghan war. Bazaine was
man to whom fortune was not stingy in
the matter of wounds. At Borny there
came to him the leaden reminder that he
was mortal, though this time it was but a
gentle hint. The fragment of a shell hit
him on the left shoulder, but it had been
well spent, and because of the protection
of the epaulette gave him but confusion,
from which he had pain for several days,
especially when on orseback.-English

A Washington Woman.

The election of Carlisle as speaker of
the house of representatives has naturally
made Mrs. Carlisle central figure in the
social circles at the capital. She has been
favorite here in her own right during the
four years her husband has been in con-
gress, and her Wednesday receptions at
the Riggs house are sure to be among the
leading attractions of the winter Mrs.
Carlisle is described as inheriting the
splendid physique of the typical Ken
tuckian. She is five feet nine inches in
height and straight as an arrow. Her
figure is as 1.-the as young girls. She is
blonde in complexion, with blue gray eyes
set rather deep under strongly.marked
eyebrows. Her blonde hair is banged
and worn slightly waved in the prevailing
fashion. 1t is difficult to realize that
Mrs. Carlisle is the mother of two grown
sons. The eldest one was married last
spring to Covington young lady. Mrs.
Carlisle is very proud of her boys" as
she always calls them. She has great
faith in her husbands political success,
and has always herself done great deal
to insure it. Her initials are the same as
her husbands her full name, Jane Good
son Carlisle. As the daughter of Major
Goodson of Covington, she was one of the
bellies of Kentucky, and rich enough to
marry where her heart inclined. She
talks well, and has as much of that indie
Unable quality called "presence as any
lady one meets in Washington, and much
graciousness with it.
