He Foreor Something.


 Uncle B-from one of the towns just out of Lewiston-is very prosperous farmer. He has a snug bank account, 8 pleasant home and nice wife. He is well along to the shady side of sixty, but his face is round his waistband large and his face so kindly that it bellies his years, while his
 wife's cheeks are as rosy winter Baldwins.
 They are finely preserved couple and Lew
 iston traders like 10 meet them across the
 counter.
 Uncle B. usually drives in at this season
 of the year alone. Sometimes in summer
 his amiable lady comes with him, but usual ly at this season she is putting down the pork and piling up the eheeses. Tuesday of this week, however, it was decided that she should make the trip. They arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon at one of the Lisbon street dry-goods stores and, leaving l her, he drove off little business. He went to the bank and talked with the cash fer. He drove up to the blacksmith shop to get the shoes sharpened on the old mare. He sold some butter, bought a coal bod at l the hardware store and put in 8 bag of cot | ton seed at the grain store. It puzzled him whether he better market hay now or wait I till spring. and he was thinking of it when | he turned his mare's nose over the Main street bridge aud chirruped "gid-dap" to | her along the homeward road. "Heigho hop he said, as he jumped out | in front of the house. ''I hope Jane and l the girls have got fish hash for supper. He unhitched, having driven right into the barn, and having fed and bedded his horse went | into the house.
 1 He came to anchor in the arm chair in front of the kitchen fire, where the girls were getting supper. He yanked off his ! boots and pulled up the toe of his blue l woolen stockings. He had vague impress sion of having forgotten something. He thought he would ask his wife. "Where's your mother?" he said, looking around as he held his left stockinged foot in | his right hand.
 "Where's who." replied his oldest daugh- ter, as she stood astonished with tea plate in her hand.
 "Why, where's your mother, Jane, my wife?'
 "Out in the barn, ain't she? Didn't she come with you? You ought to know where she is!'

She said she'd wait for me at Oswald & Armstrong's on Lisbon street, and I think I'd better not stop for any supper before just drive down and get her. Well, drove down to Lewiston and found her. She was $ sittin' there, kind of mad, long about half-past six. She didn't say nothin worth mentionin' to you. 1 shouldn't want to repeat it an she wouldn't be particular about havin' me.

 Surprise and birthday parties seem to be of quite frequent occurrence at present. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Abbey Futile eele- brated her eighty third birthday by an invi- tation to several friends to visit her at her home. A supper of turkey and oysters, with many other good things that contribute tow ards good meal, was served and the ocea- sion was pronounced very enjoyable one.
 Last evening few friends of Thomas Nc Cabe of the center district visited him at his house and presented him with handsome easy chair. The same evening party was given Miss Florence Redield by her friends in Clintonville.
 A meeting of the centennial committee with delegation from the soldiers associa tion was held at Linsley's Hall on Tuesday afternoon The soliciting committee report ed a subscription of about S1 800 towards memorial hall and an almost unanimous preference for the hall instead of a monu ment to the memory of the soldiers, as has been thought of before. A petition is in cir culation to call town meeting at an early day.
 meeting of the Veteran Soldiers associ- ation was held at the house of G. w. Smith on Tuesday evening and the expression was almost unanimous to unite with the senti- ment of the town when a meeting shou uld be held.
 The Mite society is to meet on Thursday evening at the house of John Blakeslee.

TENNxsON AND AN AMERICAN.
A Visit to the Poets Home in the Isle
 of Wight.

A of Wight.
 lFrom the London Letter to the Chicago Inter-
 Ocean.1
 Tennyson is not sociable man, and takes no special pleasure in communion with his fellows. His happiest hours are spent alone, in his secluded study, engaged in poetical meditation or rapt in elvsian dreams his pipe always in his mouth and great tobac- co jar on the floor beside him. The poet is tall, and slightly bent by the seyenty-five winters that have also lief their mark upon his whitened hair and beard, both of which are long and flowing. His eyes are large, dark and dreamy. His manners are shy and awk- ward-the result of long seclusion from the world. He wore a suit of badly fitting gray clothes, a loose turnsd-down collar, care lessly tied cravat, and low, wide shoes, made more for comfort than beauty. He speaks slowly and with great deliberation, in dull. rolling Saxon accent which might be called provincial, but his words are we'll chosen and his language refined, plainly showing that he is college man and the student of many languages.
 "At one time I thought of visiting Amer ica," said the poet, "but was afraid.''
 Afraid of what? Certainly you would have been received most cordially"
 ''Yes, and that's what was afraid of I recollect Dickens first visit-the receptions, dinners, and-shakings-and I concluded that l would not venture to show myself in the great republic. There is one spot in your country which l should like to visit-a spot which, as your poet Fitzgreene Halleck fine ly expressed it, is hallowed ground, a pill grim shine, mecca of the mind"
 You mean Mount Vernon, where Wash ington is entombedP'
 ''No; I mean long neglected spot in the provincial town of Baltimore, where the greatest American genius lies buried. I mean the grave of Edgar A. Poe.'
 "l believe you have great admiration for Poe?''
 EIndeed, I have. In nay opinion, your Bryant, Whittier, etc., are pigmies compared with Poe. He is the literary glory of Amer ica, and yet his grave was left unhonored for more than twenty-six years '
 "More than thirty-fve years have elapsed since his death and his fame is constantly in- creasing. That's the true test of genius
 "No poet, certainly no modern poet, was so susceptible to the impression of beauty as Poe," said Tennyson. 'tHe had all the Greeks appreciation of beauty and much of their power of expressing it in poetry"
 This enthusiastic admiration of Tennyson for Poe reminded me that, more than forty years ago, when the English poet was strug gling for the recognition which he at that time failed to receive from his own country men, Poe pronounced him ''the noblest poet' that ever lived. Tennyson has been a most fortunate poet; he is suited to his time, he has had long life, which Keats, Shelly, Byron, Burns and Poe were denied; he has had easy circumstances, which Coleridge, Hood and Leigh Hunt had not. He has made full use of all his gifts of nature and fortune, and has also won his way to the highest social rank ever attained by an English poet.

The Market Dull and Prices on the . Down Grade to the ClOse-Clfques
 And Room Traders do Most of the
 Business.
New York Ian. sS. 1896.


 The stock market this morning was only moder. ately active while fluctuations were confined with ill a very narrow range. There was little or no news in circulation and the market was left almost wholly in the hands of cliques and room traders who confined their efforts to looking after their especial interests. The most active stocks were Lackawanna, St. Paul, Jersey Central, Western Union and Lake Shore. The market was irregular, but in the main firm during the morning, and prices at midday were generally fractionally higher than at the close last night. The sales aggregated 145,- 900 shares. The dealings continued on limited scale throughout the afternoon, but the market steadily grew in strength and closed with the top prices current in most cases. The advance for the day ranged from 14 to per cent, the latter in Michigan Central. Canada Southern, Missouri Pa cific Ohio 6 Mississippi, Ontario Western, Paci- fic Mail Rock Island, St. Paul and Texas Pacific were exceptions and closed A to 114 per cent. lower than last nights figures. The specalties were dull but firm, and the changes were only fractional. The sales aggregated 261 ,459 shares.
 Money closed easy at 11a@t2 per cent.
 Exchange closed firm.
 Governments closed steady.
