TennysOn as a Money Maker.
London Correspondence of the Philadel-
phia Press.

! have heard repeatedly, of late that,
Tennyson would have no meaus to sup
port his new rank. He should not find
it difficult. If he be as unsociable and
inhospitable as baron as he has been
as plain Alfred Tennyson, his sustain
ment of the title need not be expensive.
The common opinion that he is only too
we'll TODD is erroneous. For literary
man he is Very rich. No author IN
America has ever begun to make SO
much money as he. His poetry has
brought him, it is estimated, ESQ 900 or
100000, at least, and the sum has been
put as high as 100000 and, &l20, 900.
Being careful, not to say close, mana
ger. he has so Invested his earnings as
to have a property worth at present
recently, house in town. where he
spends very little time; he has q
beautiful place at Far1ingford, Isle Of
Wight, and another country-seat at AID
worth in Surrey. For poet he is very
practical, driving very sharp bargains
with his publishers, holding out FOR the
last shilling.
No banker or broker in Lombardist,
conducts his affairs more shrewdly. He
has frequently changed his publishers,
who, to secure him, are obliged to give
him the most generous terms. The
firm with which he now deals pays
him extraordinary prices for the excln'
sive rig bit to issue his complete works;
but he would demand more if he had,
any chance Of getting it. A publisher
VINO has in the past done much business
with him, says he ought to be called
Moses Tennyson, and that, if he had not
turned poet, he would have made q
brilliant pawnbroker..
It is not strange that he attaches great
value to his writings, for he takes un-
wearled 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-
able him to endure. He often spends
hours on single line, and has been
known to devote a whole week to one
short poem. 1t is more than ffty-four
years since be won the Chancellor's
medal at Cambridge for t'Timbuctco," d
piece Of bank verse, and he has been
wreaking himself ever since on express
ion. In that time he has done work
enough to wear out score of ordinary
men: but he has ever been sustained by
q robust constitution, abundant exercise,
and degree Of vanity that passes all
understanding. IT genus be, as some
declare, unlImitei capacity for work,
Tennyson is a genius Of the highest or
der. For generation he ilas been
stimulated by great reputation, which
has not been ecipsed for more than for
tsy years. To this may De added his love
Of gain; for he is sure Of reaping q large
recompenso on every bit OF writing,
whatever its quality. ss S:s z 81.

Without any notable or sudden change
in the business situation, there is a
faint revival of confidence and hope for
the future, that may grow into sonae-
thing more substantial if there are no
senseless panics inaugurated by the win
ter. failures, which are simply the weed
ing out of weak concerns, that would
not have existed great length Of time

Presidential electioneering work at
Washington is daily exhibited to the.
public in the vast number of campaign

"canards" and become partially discred-

for summer use in the rural districts.
Unsuspecting readers will be astonished
tolearn that lot Of unprincipled b.
hemians are already employed and at
work in the coming campaign currency
for one side or the other, and that this
business is tolerated by men who as
sumo to be respected.

$l,5o. They can be made wi h or with

way.
Should the border not be used, turn
hem three inches wide down the
front, and across the bottom of the
curtain. This should be caught down
with herring bone stitch in gold-colored
silk.
The curtain is then embroidered over
with rugs, double rings may be called
executed in chain stitch with embroid
cry silk.
In each set ofrings there should be
one of gold silk, the other Of different
color, such es gold and blue, gold and
cardinal, gold and green. Brown will
also contrast prettily with gold. Crewels
may be used instead Of silk, although In
that case the embroidery will present 6
heavier appearance.
They can be hung on poles or cor.
nices, which ever may be most conven.
used.
The curtains are very pretty If made
with border of darned work, and, fo1
design, sprays Of autumn leaves can be
arranged with good effect, embroiderine
each spray with different colored silks,
cardinal, gold, brown and green. Draw
the stitches from point to stem Of the
leaf, and then darn back and forth,
through the silk stitches only from side
to side Of each leaf, as in darning stock
ing, but do not let the stitches sew
through the material. Then outline
each leaf round the edge with the same
color in chain-stitch. This shows each
LEST in solid color on the light ground.
A straight line of herring bone stitch
on the inside of the border, dividing
1t from the groundwork oil
the curtain, gives q pretty
finish. They have somewhat tie ap-
pearance Of the Madras curtains now sc
much used, and as the work is not at ali
difficult, one feels well repaid when the.
pretty drapery is hung at the windows

Gov. Robinson Of Massachusetts,, rec
ommends the enactment Of an insolv-
ency law which will afford debtors who
owe less than So o the same privilege Of
q discharge from their debts which debt
ors in larger amounts enjoy. Gov.
Robinson spoke as political economist
as ,welI..as humane man when he said:
"1t is always wise and salutary to devise
legislation of such a character as will
rea;h the humblest and poorest citizen,
who has no voice but his own to present
his reeds,no power in combination with
others to emphasize his opinions" The
garnishee process in Massachusetts is
often a terror to honest but poor people,
and it IS to be deprived of some of its
terrors by weekly parments instead of
monthly.

What "A Central Railroad Director Says
Concerning the Washington Meeting.

What Central Railroad Director Says
Concerning the Washington Meeting.
\ MORNING NEWS reporter called yester-
day on one of the Directors of the Central
Railroad. who has been in attendance at
the meeting ofthe Southern Railway and
steamship Association at Washington,
d. c., with an inquiry as to the result of
the meeting.
The reply was that the final action of
the association was not construed as a
concession by the Central system. As to
the permanency of the pool or its con-
tinuance after July. he could say nothing.
1.-The Central, " he added, ''merely accept
ed the contract, which was proposed last
October, to govern the association for
1854, and which viii be in force from
March 1st to July. BY that time
the matter will either be
adjusted or objected to. When the dis
ruptiOn of the association seemed immi-
nent on account of the stand taken by
Capt. RaOul," said he, lit spread cOnster-
nation in the meeting, and anxiety was
visible on every cOuntenance. The
seventy gentlemen who made up the
meeting were anxious to adjust the mat
ter amicably. The point of difference be-
tween the Central system and the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia system,
however, still remains unsettled
1.-The new board of arbitration gave en-
tire satisfaction, and its members seem
very acceptable to all concerned in the
pool. Col. Screyen is fully conversant
with all matters pertaining to railroads

is a competent gentleman. Those two
gentlemen suggested Col. Sibley, of Ar
kansas, as the third gentleman, he being
a resident of a distant State and out Of
the territory covered by the pool and well
informed as to Southern railroads and
their interest"
