1t Is now flfty-fve years since the young
Alfred Tennyson made what was practi-
cally his first appearance before the public
in that now rare and costly volume,
Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" At the
moment of its issue Keats had been dead
nine years, Byron six, Shelley eight
Scott, Southey, Wordsworth. Coleridge
remained behind, four venerable chiefs of
English letters, while Rogers, Campbell,
Moore, Lander, Mrs. Hemans, Leigh
Hunt were among the lesser lights of the
time. The advent of the young poet Of
Isabel" and Lillian must have seemed
to many contemporary observers like the
return of a sancr, happier Keats, gifted
with large share at once of Keats in
born melody and of that capacity for
majestic movement which showed itself
in Hyperion" but endowned besides
a temperament which promised what
none of those who surrounded Keats could
ever have foreseen with confidence for the
poet of EndymiOn an even and I'M
hindered poetical development All the
conditions under which the new writer
first showed himself were infinitely more
favorable than those under which the
dead poet had lived and died Keats's
culture had been a matter of slow and
struggling growth; circumstances wero
against it from the first whereas the cul-
tivation of the young Tennyson was evil
IDENTIFY, to large extent, result Of inheri-
lance and environment In the one case
the poetic gift had had to struggle through
| ignorance and vulgarity and poverty into
the splendor it was just displaying when
death overlook it. Tennyson's gift, on the
other hand had been born into kinder
orld, and its accent betrayed its happier
origins. --Mdcmtllidn'S Magazine.

Candidates for state or county Offices can
find no more effective way of promoting
Republican success than by aiding in the
circulation of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
state, county, md township committees
can push forward their work in no more
eaectual manner than by sending the WEEKLY
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN among the voters.
The publishers confidently expect that the
liberal offer now made will be gladly accepted
by many thousands of earnest Republicans

willing to invest ten cents in order to learn
from the most reliable source and in respectful

Those New Naval Vessels in South

Those New Naval Vessels in South
Am erica.
Anent the much-discussed relative naval
strength oi the United States and Chilli and
the desire recently expressed bycertain am
bilious Chilan naval officers, "to loot San
Francisco In case of war between the two
countries, a distinguished Chil0n diplomatic
has something to say. lie expresses the
opinion that just at the present time his
country would, perhaps, in case of war,
temporarily get little the better Of us on
the Pacific. "But,n he continues, "our
victory would be short lived; for you
would, after little time spent in prcpara-
tion, come down the coast ard wipe us
out.n
The naval officers above quoted unques-
tiorably voiced the English influence in
Chill, while the truthful and cautious diplo-
mate expressed the sober second thought of
his people,
In this connection It may be well to re-
mark that the power and importance, in Il
naval point Of view, Of the three or four
English naval vessels recently purchased by
Brazil, Chill, and the Argentine Republic
have been very greatly exaggerated in all
the accounts yet published, both In the Eng
lish journals across the water and by the
English tOadles on this side. The vessels In
question are fair specimens Of the class that
England builds to sell. It would take many
hundred Of them to DO much damage TO our

"Thc permanent exhibition Of Am arcan
manufactures and machinery" to be opened
by the Chilian government at Santiago on

cording to the Philadelphia Press, American
manufacturers should have nothing whatever
to do with. Manufacturers are required 10
send exhibits, freight paid, to Valparaiso,
where they are TO be presented to the govern
mcnt of Chilli that assumes entire charge Of
the business, paying freight from Valparaiso
to Santiago,nnd putting the articlesupon eX-
hibltion in charge of Chilian agents. Besides
making present Of their exhibits delivered
freight paid at Valparaiso, the American
manufacturers are required to pay an en-
trance fee of S25, United States money, Oh
every package not exceeding IS cubic feet
measurement; and are not allowed to
have their agents In attendance In the eX-
hibtion building to receive orders, &c. The
Gillian government will attend TO that. 1t
will have its own agents on hand, who will
name terms to any one who may desire TO
purchase duplicates Of any of the articles on

The idiocy of this arrangement is apparent
on its face. suppose II man sends down there
