Tennyson as o MoEey-Maker.

/ have heard repeatedly of late that
Tennyson would have no means to sup
port his new rank. He should not find
it difficult. If he be as unsocial and in
hospitable as Baron as he has been as
pla n Alfred Tennyson his sustainnlent
OF the title need not be expensive. The
common opinion that he is only well-to-
do is erroneous. For a literary man he
is very rich. No author in America has
begun to make SO much money AS he.
His poetry has brought him, it is esti-
mated, $50, GOO or 100000 at least,
and the sum has been put as high as
t10O, 900 and E120,0OO. Being care
full not to say close manager, he has
so invested his earn ngs as TO have a
property worth at present f220,O00, or
. ,.jO0,0 He owns, or did own re-
Gently, house in town. where he
spends very little time: he has a beauti-
fui place at Farringford, Isle of Wight,
and another country-seat at Aldworth,
ia Surrey. For poet he is very prac-
teal, driving it is sad, very sharp bar
gains with MS publishers, holding out
for the last shilling. @sa
No banker or broker in Lombard
street conducts is affairs more shrewd-
ly. He has frequently charged his
publishers. who, to secure him, are OBJ
li@ed to give. him the most generous
terms. TIE firm with which he now
deals pays him extraordinary prices for
the exclusive right TO issae his complete
works; but he would demand more if he
had any chance of getting it. A pub
Usher who has in the past done much
business with him, says he ought to be
ca led Moses Tennyson, and that, if he
had not turned poet, h. would have
made a brilliant pawnbroker.
1t is not strange that heattaches great
value to his writings, for he takes I'M
wearied and endless pains with them.
His is the toll OF composition produced by
brain sweat. 1t is an agony of labor
which nothing but supreme self love or
superlative literary ambition would en-
abe him to endure. He often spends hours
on single line, and has been known to
devote whole week to one short poem.
1t is more than fifty-four years since he
won the Chancellors medal at Cam
ridge for "Timbuctoo, piece of
blank verse. and he has been wreaking
himself ever since on expression. In
that time he has done work enough to
wear out Il score OF ordinary men; but
he has ever been su tanned by q robust
constitution, abundant exercise, and a
degree of vanity that passes all under
S sanding. Ii genius be. as some de-
clare, unlimited capacity for work,
Tennyson is a genius of the highest
order For q generation he has heen
stimulated by q great reputation, which
has not been cclpsed for more than
forty years. To this may be added his
love of gain: for he is sure OF reaping
large recompense ON every bit of writ
ing, whatever its quality. -, London

An Expert. View in tn. Nut. Trial.

P1TTSBCKG, Jan. II.
In the Mutt trial to-day DR.. Smith Fuller,
the amily physician, said Mutt had pre-
meGisated the killing of Dukes, and that he
had arranged everything for the acceptance
of the first opportunity to execute his de-
sign. But he had become a monomaniac on
the subject. He had brooded SO long over
the death of his father and the dishonor of
his family that when he carried his inten-
ton into effect he was an irresponsible
agent; had become in fact an absolute
1unatic on the question of taking Dukes
life. The killing, was no sudden inspira-
tion: it was the acceptance of u chance to
carr Y out design eiative TO subject on
which the prisoner was entirely insane.

Rubini's Home.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
translates from Mario's autobiography
the following Incidents: III
II was the morning after my debut at
the Italian Tneater in the Elisir d Amore;
l was sleeping the deep sleep of man
who went to bed at an awfully late hour,
after having experienced a variety of in
tense emotions. An energetic shout
caused me to wake up with a start:
.'Bravo! Mario! bravissimo!'
And saw the kind, smiling face of
Rubini peeping through the curtains of
my bed. ,4.,l.s.....- .<.s-
+ need hardly say that this great art
list, who had honored me with his friend
ship and gave me mis- priceless counsel
without the least thought of jealousy,
could enter my home at any hour what
soever. s. $3.50 -.
He who was then the public idol at
the Italian Theater came with hands ex-
tended to press mine. and he uttered
the Sc words which made an impression
on me never to be forgotten: at is thou
who shalt till the place Of Jean Baptiste
Rubinin' rs .ze
Some years after when I was in Lon
don, heard that Rubini was singing
the '.>tabat Mater of Rossini. I rushed
to the theater, and as soon as he saw my
card. the impre Ssario gave me a place
in the first row of orchestra seats. Ru-
bini could not help seeing me. He OBJ
served me at on e; aud as if to greet
me, he presumed to make the following
maccaronic variation upon the classical
text-gazingi fixedly at me with his
most serious air: Dunn tieba:. ct non
payabat!
Luckily nobody in that great aud 'ence
of prim 1Inglishwomen and keen Eng
lishmen caught that flying allusion to
the friend who had not paid for his seat.
One grabbed Journalist, however, might
have made Rubini pay dearly for his dog

~ L could not help smiling; thereby
greatly scandalizing MY neighbors-
astounded to find that the music of
Rossini and the poignant emotions of
the drama of the Passion could excite
in me anything approaching to hilarity.
1t is all very well to have sweet
heart who is spiritually minded, says
the Indianapolis Journal. but the girl
who looks into futurity and sees death
reaching after her lover is not likely to
fill popular demand. Miss Lemon, of
Millersburg. Ohio, was one of this sort
Recently she was stricken with paraly-
sis. Before her death she said farewell
to her intended husband, informin e him
at the same time that he would follow
her in very short time. The young
man, who was healthy and robust, and
whose appetite seemed not to have been
affected by his loss, ate a hearty break
fast the other morning and was soon
after stricken with paralysis, precisely
as Miss Lemon had been, dying in two
hours. ff o.
