IL is pretty early in the season for
political assessments, but an attempt to
make q levy in the post Office depart
ment by VS.. Odell, a citizen of Indiana
was detected and frustrated. Circulars
addressed TO Indiana clerks were taken
into the Post Office Department and
handed to messengers to distribute, the
messengers not knowing their contents.
The act Of carrying circulars soliciting
contributions into any Government
building Is, under the civil service act, a
misdemeanor punishable with fine and
imprisonment u both. Postmaster
General Gresham expressed much in
dignstion and ayowed his intention to
protect his clerks against similar at
tempts to blackmail them.

been more or less human, after the

The little dilemma existing between
the delicate o~ficiality of Minister
Lewelrs position and his delicate ac-
ceptanee Of the honorary rectorship OF

happily solved. Mr.. Lowell had no

Andrews wroue requesting the author
ofthe Bigelow papers to deliver an adj
dress to the students, and Mr.. Lowell
has accepted. This means that the wise

as usual. Mr.. Lowells address will be
the address of the rectorship, with q
great deal more than the ordinary eclat
attached to it.

About SalIing the Soil.

Common salt spread upon the ground
has the effect of aiding in the solution Of
mineral matters used in s~tiffening the
stems of plants. If there is already a
sufficiency of such matters in solution in
the soil, an application of salt viii do no
good. Salt is most efiicacious in muckv
ground and whenever there is an excess
of organic matter. 1t is not supposed TO
act directly as food for graia-producing
plants. IF it does anything toward in
.creasing grain crops. it does SO by wav
of s%tifening the straw and keeping it.
from lodging. 1t is a cheap product.

Tennyson as a Money-Maker.
london Correspondence OF the Philadel
phia Press,

l have heard repeatedly, of late that,
Iennyson would have no means to sup
port his new rank. He should not find
it difficult. If he be rs u%nsociable and
inhospitable as a 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 q literary
q he 10 very rich. No author IN
America has oyer begun to make SO
much money as he. His poetry has
brought him, 1t is estimated, ESQ, 900 or
100000, at least, and the sum has been
put as high as elW, 900 and, s120, 900.
Being a careful, not to say close, mana
ger. be has so invested his earnings as
to have q property worth at present
s22O, 1000, or 81, 000, 900. He owns, or did
recently, a house in town. where he
spends very little time; he has a
beautiful place at Fa%r1ingford, Isle of
Wight, and another country seat at AID
worth in Surrey. For a 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 right to Issue his complete works;
but he would demand more if he had
any chance of getting it. Apublisller
who 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 a
brilliant p~awnbroker.
1t is not strange that he attaches great
value to his writings, for he takes un.
wearled and endless pains with them.
Ills ls the toll Of composition produced
which nothing but supreme self-love or
superlative literary ambition would en-
able him to endure. He often spends
hours on a single line, and has been
known to devote a whole week to one
short poem. 1t is more than tifty-four
years since he won. the Chancellor's
medal at Cambridge for "Timbuctco,' . 81
| piece of blank verse, and lie has been
wreaking himself ever since on express
ion. In that time he has done work
enough TO wear out q score of ordinary
men; but he has ever been sustained by
q robust constitution, abundant exercise,
and q ~degreesof vanity that passes all
understanding. If genus be, as some
declare, unlimited capacity for work,
Tennyson is a genius of the highest or
der. For a generation he has been
stimulated by a great reputation, which
has not been eclipsed for more than for
ty years. 10 this may be added his love
of gain; for he is sure of reaping "a large
recompense on every bit of writing,
whatever its quality.

Rev. Joseph Cook is unable to name
more than FIVE American newspapers
that he could recommend a foreigner to
read. Mr., Cooks sympathy to Ameri-

would have liked them better.

walks Between Farm Buildings.

The grounds about most ,farm-houses
ara poorly supplied with walks. Some.
times there is no way to approach the
house from the street or go from the
house to the we'll or farm buildings, ex.
cept to travel over ground that is. COW
cred with turf. During alarge portion
of the year, and especially in the winter,
it is necessary to pass through mud or
snow. AS o consequence damp feet are
among the. penaltie attached to passing
out of tho house during unpleasant
weather. OF course, it is very difficult
to keep the floors Of a dwelling clean
when the occupants are obliged to walk
through mud every time they go out.
There should be good walks leading
of the house, and to the well
and the various out buildings.
They not only promote comfort but save
a large amount of work in taking care Of
the house. Very Good and %serviceable
walks may be made by mailing plank to
scantlings placed on edge. The walks
may he from two to three feet wide, &C.
cording to the width of the planks.
Walks constructed in this manner are
easily kept free from snow, as they may
be swept off as often as is necessary.
The only objection to item is the diff.
Guilty in driving across them. The diff.
Guilty may be ohviated by raising the
driveway for teams Or by placing III
clined planks or timbers against the
sides of the walks. Good walks may al.
SO be made of flat stone or gravel con.
fined between pieces of timber. To pre-.
vent the timbers from spreading they
should be acknowledgement at suitable
dis ances by mean OF cross-pieces. The
gravel should be clean and the surface
of the walk should be slightly rounded

WHAT IS SAID ABOUT IT AT THE CAPfTOL-A STORY
THAT THERE Is ANTAGONIST BETWEEN Mr.. sAR-
GENT AND The STATE DEPARTMENT
The general opinion Of the members OF the House
foreign affairs committee is that Mr.. Sargent has
made an absurd mistake in declining the St Peters
burg mission. Mr.. Deuster said to a STAR reporter
to-day that he had reason TO believe that it was
the intention OF the President IN view Of the at
lacks made upon our minister through the semi
official organs OF the German Prince, to
allow the Berlin mission 10 remain vaca ut
for q white at least. To have recalled Mr.. Sargent
would certainly not have been pie tsGnt to that
gentleman. and the actlCn taken WAS the best and
Wi,eSL. The terms OF the transfer OF Mr.. Sargent
were highly complimentary: the action OF the
President In nominating him for the ST. Petersburg
mission and that OF the Senate In unanmou sly con-
firming the nomination was warm Endorsement
OF his action. and having the Berlin mission vacant
would have been his more thorough yiuGicaIfCn.
Mr. GucEther. on the other hand. says that the
President and Secretary Oh State acted cOwaruly in
the matter. and that their action was \ outrage
o,,s Insult to Mr.. Sargent theory IN connection
with the affair." which IS generally SUI posed TO be
correct, is that Mir Sargent rendered his resigna-
ton Immediately after the settlement OF the Llsker
matter, and the ST. Petersburg nomination was
offered to conciliate him But he refuses to be con-
ciIiated. Tie secret history OF the matter is not
vet known, but there is supposed TO be antagon-
ism between MIR. Sargent and the State department.
