The superiority of Wells, Richardson q
Co.'s Improved Blu ter Color over all 9TH
ers made, is again demonstrated oy its rec.
ord at the Autumnal Fairs. The test of
practical use is what tells the story, and
the great value ofthe premiums given by the
Agricultural Fairs, lies in the fact, that the
Judges in these cases are regular farmers,
who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson "
Co.'s Improved Butter Color, which mas
taken first premium at all fairs where ex-
Hill ed, is put up in vegetable oil so pre-
pared that it can not become rancid, most
important property, the lack OF which IS
fatal to so many of the Butter-Coiors Of
fered for sale. 1t does not color the butter
milk; it imparts a bright natural color,
which is unattained by many others; ana
being the strongest is the cheapest Color
in the market.

Beethoven, according to the French
version, was the descendant of pooI
family, which for a century had its home
in small Belgian village. His talent
for music was inherited from his grand
father, who for many years had an APP
pointment as chanter at the Collegiate
church of Iowa II. Another story,
which for some tine has held It's place
in German encyclopedia, credits
Beethoven with being a natural son OF
Frederic William H., King of Prussia
Beethoven, on being asked about the
truth of the latter version, declared thai
on principle he never answered any
questions about himself. 1t is highly
improbable that he believed the rumor
for in his latter days he requested ;
friend ito make known to the world tht
honesty of his parents and especially

Tennyson as n MOney-Maker.

I have heard repeatedly of late that
Tennyson would have no means to sup
port his new rank. He should not find
it difficult. II he be as uusocial and in
hospitable as Baron as he has been as
pla Alfred Tennyson his susta;nment
of the title need not be expensive. The
common opinion tina. he is only well to-
do is erroneous. For terary man he
is very rich. No author in America has
begun to make 50 much money as he.
His poetry has brought him, it is esti-
mated, $4,000 or 100000 at least,
and the sum has been put as high as
f100,00 and E12O,000. Being a care
full not 10 say close manager, he has
so invested his earn ngs as TO have a
property worth at present t22O.OO0, or
Sl,OO0,O00. He owns, or did own re-
Gently, house in town, where he
spends very little time; he has a beauti-
full place at Farringford, Isle of Wight,
and another country-seat at Aldworth,
in Surrey. For poet he is very prac-
teal, driving it is said, very sharp bar
gains with his publishers, holding out
for the last shilling.
No banker or broker in Lombard
street conducts Lis affairs more shrewd-
ly. He has frequently changed his
publishers. who, to secure him, are OBJ
ligCd to give him the most generous
terms. TIE firm with which he now
deals pays him extraordinary prices for
the exclusive right to issue 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
called Mos IS Tennyson, and that, if he
had not turned poet, h would have
made a brilliant pawnbroker.
1t is not strange that he attaches great
value to his writings, for he takes un-
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 Oh
superlative literary ambition would en-
alb G him to endure He often spends hours
on a ngle line, and has been known &c
devote whole week to one short poem
1t is more than fifty-four years since he
won the ChancelIOr's medal at Cam
bridge for "Timbuctoo," piece oil
blank verse, and he has been wreaking
himself ever since on expression. In
that time he has done work enough tC
wear out score of ordinary men; but
he has ever been sustained by robust
constitution, abundant exercise, and 6
degree of vanity that passes all under
sanding. If genius re. as some de
clare, unlimited capacity for work
TennysOn is genius of the highes
order For generation he has beer
stimulated by Great reputation, whicl
has not been eclipsed for more than
forty years. 70 this may be added hi
love of gain: for he is sure OF reapng ;
large recompense on every bit of writ
ing, whatever its quality. - LOndo1

Rubini's Home.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
translates from Mario's autobiography
the following Incidents:
1t was the morning after my debut at
the Italian Thcater in the Elsr d Amore;
was sleeping the deep sleep of a man
who went to bed at an awfutly late hour,
after having experienced a variety of in
tense emotions. An energetic shout
caused me to wake up with a start:
bravo! Mario! bravissimor'
And saw the kind, smiling face of
Rub nj peeping through the curtains of
my bed.
need hardly say that this great art
list, who had hOnored me with his friend
ship and gave me his priceless counsel
without the least thought of jealousy;
could enter my home at any hour what
soeyer.
He who was then the public idol at
the Italian Theater came with hands eX-
tended to press mine, and he uttered
these words which made an impression
on me never to be forgotten: at is thou
who shalt fill the place of Jean Baptiste
Rubini!'
Some years after when l was in Lon,
don, | heard that Rubini was singing
the ",tabat Mater of Ross;ni rushed
to the theater, and as soon as he saw my
card, the impre- sario 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; and as if to greet
me, he presumed to make the following
maccaronic variation upon the classical
text-gazing fixedly at me with his
most serious air: Dunn tiebat. . T.. . ct non
payabat!
Luckily nobody in that great audience
Of prim Englshwomen 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
Latin.
l could not help smiling; thereby
greatly scandalzing 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.
