Lord Houghton's Peculiarities.

As poet it is easy to underrate Lord
Houghton, and it is equally easy to
overrate him. With him it was all of
life to live, if not all of death to die,
To such the richest fountains of poeti-
cal inspiration are never opened. 1t
may be doubted whether any poet of
his time, however, more adequately ex-
pressed what and all of what he felt
and wished to say. Persons of doubt
full positions and things of more or
less disorderly character had strange
fascination for his muse as they had for
himself. He felt as lively curiosity
to know phenomenally bad man as a
phenomenally good one, partly, per-
haps, because according to convention
al standards the latter are . the rarer.
Nothing human or inhuman lay beyond
the range of his curiosity-a peculiar
ity which ! once heard illustrated by
the following story. Whether true or
not, there is nothing improbable about
it. A criminal was to be hung at nine
o'clock, the event to be announced to
the public by the firing of gun. Some
one at Houghton's breakfast table re-
marked that it was after nine and the
gun had not been fired; the execution,
therefore, must have been postponed.
"Oh no." promptly replied his sister;
1.-THE man has surely been hung. or
brother would have had him here at
breakfast" Whether from a spirit of
generous federation, or charity, or love
OF fair play, or sympathy for the weak
er party, or a curious taste for the
Il l. L
muse seemed to have been consecrated
to the defense of people and conduct
that were on the defensive. Though
not ranking with the great poets of the
world, Lord Houghton long before his
death had secured for himself an en-
during place among the poets OF Eng
iand.-Hon. John Bigeioco, iH Harler's
Jig:azinc for Aovenaber.

An Old-Time Southern Supper.

1t was treat to sit down to South
ern supper the other day, where there
were half dozen ladies of the old
school-their respective ages being be-
tween 20 and IS. All, there were rem
iniscences for you! Courteous of man
ner. happy and with no thought of yet
yielding up their days; dressed in black
silks with soft laces; every head silver
crowned-indeed they were Joy. and
presented picture worthy of preser-
vation. Four of them had been neigh
bors and intimate friends of General
Jackson, and all had the kindliest ap-
probation Of his much-wounded wife,
whom he so loved. The uncle of one
had something to do with Jackson's
duel, and a relative of another per-
formed one OF Old Hickory's marriage
ceremonies. A lady, hale in her
eighties, who rejoices in her second
sight, and reads everything, scorning
spectacles, and possesses fine CONVEX
sational powers, related remembrances
of Aaron Burr. He had come to Ten
nessee, and was wined and dined about
all the grand plantations. Her uncle
entertained him, and she well remem-
bers her father and mother being in
vited to dinner during the time. They
rode over on horseback. her father
carrying her in front Of him. She was
four or five years of age, ard it was at
an era when parents "went abroad"
Gas they denominated visiting), and
the children were never left at home.
She was perched up at the table beside
her mother, and stared to her content
at the handsome lion of the day.
This was after his retirement from
the Vice neutrality-suspicious. having
been President-and his maneuvers in
the Southwest gave rise to the suspi-
cion that he was organizing an expedl-
ton to invade Mexico, with the pur-
pose of establishing an empire there
which should embrace some of the
Southwestern States of this confedera-
cy. He was arrested for treason at
Richmond, Va, and tried for treason
before Chief Justice Marshall and &C
quilted in 1907.
The stately matron. who continued
to grow more eloquent over the famous
Adonis and statesman, began after
awhile to give much interesting history
of Jefferson's private life-her depart
ed husband having been an inmate OF
that great mans home for several years
OF his boyhood.
Another of the danes had been so
cial leader at Washington-had dined
frequently at the White House with
more than one President and had en-
tertained distinguished people from all
lands, including heirs to thrones.
And her husband was Congressman
during Buchanan's Administration, and
yet another related to that President
and to his magnificent niece, who pre-
sided SO grandly over the White House,
and was so admired by Victoria at the
Court of St. James. They gave vivid
descriptions OF Miss Harriet Lane aud
Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Weller and Mrs.
Mcclellan and others who queened it
over the realm, and witnessed every
move made by the Prince of Wales
when he was guest of the President.

The fact is not sufficiently appre-
ciated, remarks an exchange, that the
cow, of all animals, should have good
and pure food. The favors and germs
taken in the feed pass off, to a great
extent, in the milk. Often has il been
known of COW eating poisonous sub
stances without injury to herself; but
her milk was impregnated with the
poison or disease germs, and the
human consumers were injured. Mis-
is much more sensitive in receiving
and tenacious in holding impuritie,
than water, and it seems that the i'm
purities of the animals system are I'M

Oft into the milk pail to impregnate

they were in the first place imbibed in

A Happy Traveller.

One of the tourists who starts within
a few days for pleasure journey round
the world is young Griswold Lorillard,
son of the wealthy horsepower and
sportsman Pierre Lorillard, and l fancy
that he is not going to get unawares into
places that are not inside what they seem
outside. He has engaged highly COM
petent companion. Perhaps the reader
recalls having seen, in the accounts of
Lily Langtry's American tour in a spe-
cial car, the name of w. B. Talboys as a
companion of Freddy Gebhard in the
latter's attendance on the professional
beauty. Mrs. Langtry insisted upon so
much of a concession to propriety as was
involved in having two men instead Of
only one aboard her train. ''All right"
said Freddy, 'I'll invite my friend Tai
boys, a member of the Union club, a
right companionable gentleman" So
TalbOys became a mutual friend of the
pair. He is round the-world rover. the
acknowledged best story-teler in his
club, the author of an illustrated book
about Cuba, the contributor of club Jokes
to The Aour, and altogether distinct
character in New York. | saw the Lang

A Solar Cyclone.

Those who have looked through a
large telescope under favorable atrno-
spheric conditions, at one of those i'm
mense cyclones which occasionally break
out on the. surface of the sun, have de
rived from what they saw very good
idea of the origin of sunlight. They have
seen that the brightest portion of the sur
face of the sun consists of columns OF in
tensely hot metallic vapors, averaging
about three hundred miles in diameter,
rising from its interior and glowing with
extreme brilliancy, from the presence Of
clouds formed, probably of shining par
ticles of carbon precipitated from its va
por as the tops of the columns reach the
surface and lose heat by expansion and
radiation. "a good idea of such a pre-
cipitation is had by observing the parti-
cles of water condensed from transpar-
ent vapor, in unusually high thunder
heads, where the action is in some
respects similarly Between these ascend
ing columns are seen descending mass
es CT cooler vapors. rendering dark
and smoky relatively cool and opaque
particles of carbon, all or most of the
other elements being still maintained by
the excessively high temperature in the
conditions of transparent vapor. In the
immediate region, however, where the
cyclone is raging, these bright ascending
columns are drawn out horizontally by
the inrushing metallic winds (Which oft
en- reach a velocity of thousand miles
per hour) into long filaments, pointing
in general toward the center of the dis
turbance, which is always occupied by a
huge black cloud of smoke Frequently
twenty thousand miles in diameter) ra D.
idly settling back into the interior of the
sun. Over and across this great central
black cloud are often driven long arms
of the shining carbon-clouds, which,
when the cyclonic action is very strong,
bend round into slowly changing spiral
forms, very suggestive of intense action.
A striking illusion, invariably connected
with this sight, is that the observer seems
to be viewing it from a position quite
near the scene of the disturbance, whose
minute and complicated details are seen
with exquisite distinctness. - Charles
p HoVard, in Popular Science Monthly.

The Russians Attack and Defeat Force of
Afghan Troops.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 9-The Official Mes
senger publishes the following this morning:
General Komaroff reports that in consequence
of hostile manifestations by the Afghans he was
compelled to attack them. The Afghans were.
posted upon both banks of the river Kushk, in
fortified positions The fight occurred on the
Goth of last month. The Afghan force consisted
of 1000 men, with eight guns The AZ
ghans were defeated, with loss of
500 All the artillery, two standards,
the entire camp outfit and all provisions
of the Afghans werescaptured. The Russian
and twenty nine wounded. When the fighting
ended, General Komaroff returned across the
river to the positions he had formerly occupied.
General Komaroff also reports that some British
officers who had been eye witnesses, but not
Russians for protection when they saw that the
Afghars were beaten; but, unfortunately he
says, convoy which he Immediately dispatched
to the relief of these officers was unable to over
take the Afghan cavalry, who carried the British
away with them in their flight.
The India Office has received no official
dispatches concerning the battle between the
Russians and Afghans. General Komaroff's
dispatch, published in the Official Messenger,
has been telegraphed to each member of the
British Cabinet.
Baron DeStaal, the Russian ambassador, be-
lieves that the fighting in Afghanistan was even
more serious than has been reported in the
different press dispatches NJ. Lessar, in an
interview to-day, said that the Afghans caused
the fight through attacking a number of Russian
pickets and driving them from their posts.
The Russians then retaliated, wien general
engagement ensued.

tion lies in q nut-shell-Russia either did or did
not acquaint General Komarof with the agree
ment of March IT."
The Daily News says: sThe agreement be-
tween England and Russia that there should be
no advance of outposts must now have reached
frontier. If that agreement be adhered to, war
may still be avoided. War now only be avoid
ed by prompt disavowal by Russia
of General Komaroffs action, and
guarantee against its repetition, and
by honorable action on her part regarding the
joint boundary commission which, up to the
present time, the Russians have mocked and
evaded with scarcely disguised cynicism."
The European press considers that both Eng
land and Russia want time to prepare for war,
but that conflict is certain.
The Times editorially says: Neither the dig
nifty nor the interests of the British empire can
be served by wrangiing in Parliament. Mr..
GladstoneS statement in the House of Com
mons, yesterday was worthy of Englands rep
resentative. If it did not breathe Defiance
it had the ring of constancy and resolution,
which neither foreigners nor Englshmen can
mistake. Even if we are content to pass the

dead upon the field, and cannot, if we
would, encounter the risk of a surrender
to General Komaroffs defiance to the orders of
his superiors. It rests with Russia to purge her.
self of this dishonesty by acts of adequate and
conspicuous reparation. The immediate re-
call of General Komarof and the re-
tirement of the Russians from all the
positions in Afghanistan they have lately
occupied, will, perhaps, repair the mischief
The duty imposed upon us will not be under
taken in a spirit of levity, but is one that Eng
land is capable of fulfilling, and we will not
finch until it is fulfilled"

THE NEWS IN PARLIAMENT.
Gladstone States That the Russians Provoke,
the Collision.

LONDON, April 9.-Mr. Gladstone, in the
House of Commons this morning, said that on
Saturday the Cabinet had considered Russia's
reply to England's proposal to limit the zone of
survey to debatable points. Russias reply was
an agreement to do this, provided the zone Of
survey az marked out by England' was extended
southwark, so as to include the Parmessan range
of mountains. The government considered that
this reply did not advance the question towards
a conclusion. and was dissatisfied with it, With
in the past twenty four hours, however, said the
Premier, subsequent communication had been
received from Russia, and this appeared, in the
opinion of the government, to place the matter
in a more hopeful condition.
Being asked what the nature of this subse-
q uent communication was, Mr.. Gladstone said
that it would be impossible, at present, for the
gov ernment to make any further statement con-
cerning the pending negotiations about the
Afghan frontier, in view CT the grave occurrences
just reported. Continuing Mr. Gladstone said
that it was evident that the Russians had at
tackled the Afghans. The Afghans had, in this
attack, been defeated after making gallant re-
sstance 1t was apparent also that the Rus
SLAMS after tho fight, had returned to their for
mer positions, or at least te the left bank

VIENNA, April 9.-It is learned from ST. Pc.
tersburg that the Ameer of Afghanistan's plan of
campaign, in connection with the English army,
in case of war with Russia, is about as follows:
''The Ameer's troops are divided into four corps
darmee, one of which remains in Cahul, while
the other three have taken up positions against
the Russians. The three corps embrace q, 800
infantry, $500 cavalry and 1l6 guns. These three
corps d'aTmee are at present in Herat, in Tach-
tapul and in Sarepul Together with the troops
in Cabul the Ameer has an army of $1,000 men.
Russia has modified two divisions which have
been sent to the transcaspian. AS indicative Of
the feeling in the Caucasus. it is asserted that
the Mussulmans there are convinced that Turkey
stands on the side of Russia. This notice is the
first positive information received here from
those regions. In diplomatic circles there s
much desquiet respecting the present relations
of Russia to England, and fears are entertained
of the negotiations taking grave turn"
