Stories About Tennyson.

London letter to the San Francisco Chronicle
Absent-minded to a degree, Tennyson often
forgets to whom he is speaking, and once when
in full conversation with Robert Browning said,
apparently apropos de bottes: II wonder how
Browning's getting ons" Why" exclaimed
Robert, Il am Browning "Nonsense!' re-
piled Tennyson, with almost an attempt at
roguish raillery, Il know the fellow well, SO
you can't tell me you are he"
A few years ago some enthusiastic admirers
CT Tennyson gave large dinner party in his
honor, and invited all their choicest friends in
the world Of literature and art to meet him.
Tennyson, who rarely accepts an invitation,
did. for wonder, put in an appearance on this
occasion, but during the first half of the dinner
caused the greatest disappointment by remain
ing absolutely SILENT and as if lost in the most
profound reverie. The guests, who mad ex-
pected to hang on words falling like pearls Of
thought from his lips, gazed somewhat wistfully
upon him, when suddenly rousing himself he
exclaimed in loud stentorian voice: 81 like
my mutton cut in chunksr' l cannot help sus-
pecting that there was something OF malice
prepense in this burst of confidence, and that
the poor man felt not unnatural irritation at
being gaped at and a corresponding desire to
punish the offenders.
An anecdote told me not long ago by his
daughter-in-law is amusing, in that it shows
how the greatest are not incapable of stooping
to little weaknesses. Some very dear friends Of
Tennysons, who had been spending some years
in Persia, returned to London, and anxious to
renew old ties, wrote inviting him to their
house. But Tennyson mistook the day. and
arriving at the d0micie found the birds flown
Sitting down to write note of explanation, he
had the misfortune to throw the contents Of
well filed ink bottle all over the beautiful new
white Persian carpet. The maidservant in an
swer to his summons, appeared with large
jug OF new milk. which she poured over the
offending ink-stain. I'm give you shillings.
NV good girl, my very good girl" confided
Tennyson, in much agitation. ''if you'll only get
ria oI tnat abomin&ble ink before your master
and mist ess come home" And together on
their hands and knees poet and Abb gail rubbed
anteruheed nj this VIZ tched carpet until not a
a spot remained The girl earned her shillings,
went to dine with his friends he had every
reason to believe that she had told no tales.
AT amy rate his host and hostess displayed their
gorgeous carpet without any signs Of conscious
ness.

Homa for VAtarans.

The movement to build home in Georgia
for confederate veterans ought to meet
with the most enthusiastic encouragement,
and it undoubtedly will Georgia needs
just such home as is proposed, and if the
people of the state will take hold of the
matter as they should, the money for it can
be raised in a very little time. If all the
people become interested in it only a small
donation will be required from each one.
OF course there are those who are able to
make very liberal donations, and they Will
do so.
Gov. Gordon has written an eloquent let
ter advocating h ONE, and he proposes to
use his utmost endeavors III its behalf. In
his letter he outlines a plan for it and Its
management, and furnishes the names of
wealthy men outside of the state who are
ready to make handsome contributions to
fund for it.
The governor is always eloquent when
discussing subject which interests him.
Speaking of the home, he says: Let us
build, and build on a scale commensurate
with our duty. No man can afford to
withhold his help Let us place this home,
however, on a basis broad enough to EN-
brace not only the suffering soldiers, but
their wives and their children, and the
suffering widows aud orphans of our dead
brothers; and let us adopt some plan that
will secure aself-supporting institution" 4
The responses to the call for contributions
for the home should be prompt and liberal
There are no more deserving people in
Georgia than those confederate veterans
who are no longer able to provide for them
selves and families the comforts of life.
Let us build home for them that the state
will have reason to be proud of.

Col. John r. Fellows was in Louisville
the other day, and he said the Doodle trials
in New York were practically abandoned,
the sentiment which backed the prosecu-
tions having so abated that it would now
be impossible to secure a conviction. 1t
took week or two in which to secure a
jury in the Kerr case, people generally
having already concluded that he was
guilty; but now, few weeks after Kerr's
acquittal, the Doodle trials are to be aban-
doned, because, it is alleged, public senti-
ment has changed.

The farmers of Berks county, Pennsyl-
vauia, apparently don't know how it is
that they haven't made money lately, but
some Of them are inclined to put the blame
upon the state legislature. At meeting Of
the county agricultural society the other
day, a member said that 1.-THE representa-
tives of the people at Harrisburg were a
set Of numskulls who knew no more about
making laws for the benefit Of the people
than cattle knew about fence rails" This

Something Else Might Answer.
From the PhiladeIphtd hlquirer (Rep.)

me good North Carolina bishop who discov-
cred that half pint OF peanuts eaten before
gong 70 bed is a sovereign remedy for insomnia
should lqtorm an inquiring world whether he
ever tried any other form of food for the same
purpose. There are doctors skeptical enough
TO say that slice OF bread and butter or glass
OF mix would put the patient to sleep as well
as the peanuts, and with less risk Of injury to
ms digestive organs. There is no 'drowSy
syrup" about the peanut; it acts as any other
KIND OF food acts, drawing the blood from the
BRAN TO the stomach, and thus permitting the
patient to fall asleep.

An Indignant CORPORAL.

Corporal Tanner, the commissioner of
pensions, is getting to be as famous as Mr..
Wanamaker, the Postmaster General. They
are the two men connected with the admin
istration who appear to have marked out
line of action for themselves. Mr.. Wana-
maker has got into trouble with Senator
Quay by insisting upon appointing a busi-
ness man postmaster at Philadelphia, in
stead of a ward politician, and he has also
announced a policy with respect to other
p0stofficeS. He seems to be having his way,
and it may be that he will not be checked.
Corpl. Tanners policy is to make a clean
sweep of all the democrats in the pension
office. He is little man, but, from all
accounts, very consequential one. There
is a chance that he. unlike Mr.. Wanamaker,
will not be permitted to be the boss of his
own office. In fact, it is said that he has
been told already that he is going too fast,
and that he must not take any important
step in any direction without authority
from his chief, the Sc cretary Of The Interior.
or course the valiant corporal is very in.
diguant at being checked in what he con-
siders the most important work connected
with his Office, viz, the turning out Of
democrats and the filling of the vacancies
thus created with republicans, but he will
have to pocket his pride aud pigeon hole
his policy, for the present at least.
