The fire was extinguished after dong but

Tho Poet Tennyson's Old Age.

ssT saw and talked with Tennyson re-
Gently" writes an English friend to me.
sit was at the annual flower show at
Haslemere, Surrey, and the poet had
been prevailed upon TO leave his seclu-
sion for the botanical display. 1t was
his first public appearance since his i'll
ness, and | had not seen him for six
months. That the Poet Laureate is
rapidly aging l saw at q glance, and
this became more impressed upon me
during our brief conversation. He was
no longer the Tennyson of a year ago;
talk meant distress to him, and refer
ences to persons very close to him IN
friendship, which formerly enlisted his
interest, seemed to meet with little re-
Spouse. In his walk he shuffied heavily,
and the cane that he once carried as a
companion to idly swing in moments of
thought, had become almost a staff. He
told me his health was good, but hi~gen-
eral appearance scarcely verified his
statement. The strong aroma of a pipe,
carelessly iammed into n of his coat
pockets, was about the only thing that
suggested to me the Tennyson of old
there was certainly nothing in his con-
versation, or appearance."-Cor.

Wonderful Stage Effects.

Hubert Eerkomer is already at work
upon q play for his new theatre at
Bushey, in England, and promises to ex-
Gel all past achievements in the way of
realistic scenery. As the representation
will not take place for two years, he has
plenty of time to perfect his plans. He
is devising a new ghost effect, and also
intends to show the approach and burst
ing of q thunder storm, with forked
lightning leaping from the threatening
clouds. After the shower there will be
a rainbow, formed in the natural way,
by the rays of an artificial sun shining
through the raindrops as the weather
gradually clears. Some of the music for
the new piece has been composed al
ready. Many of Mr.. Herkomers stage
illusions are prepared at a cost of time
and money which would make their
adoption by the ordinary theatrical man
ager improbable, but others are simple
enough, and are obtained by the obsery-
C of perfectly familiar artistic laws.
He has succeeded in proving that what
is accepted, ordinarily, as stage realism,
is in reality the feeblest and crudest imi-
tations.-The Stage.

Ashamed to Tell His Name.

1t pays to wear your face upon your
sleeve, leastways your name. So long
ago as July, 1887, Charles Smith went to
town and disappeared. And now he has
been discovered in prison, all because he
hid his light under a bushel. Charles
went on a harmless spree, was knocked
down and robbed, felt ashamed of himself
and decided to walk home rather than
collect car fare from his town friends in
his dilapidated raiment. On the way
he was given a ride by a MAJ driving a
two-horse rig, and presently the officers
of the law swooped down and allowed
the talons of the Judicial bird to get a
clutch firmly imbedded on the shoulders
of the two travellers. The team had
been stolen and Smiths obliging friend
was the thief. Smith felt ashamed
again. He was shamefaced, not double
faced. 1t came natural for him to blush.
He gave his name as Wilson and was
sent to the cooler for six years to give
his blood a chance. He has been there
two years, and now believes that he
could look the world in its eye without
so much as winking, and asks to be par
doned for doing nothing.-Chisago
Times

Decided steps have now been taken,
writes 4 correspondent, to develop the
new route to the east by way of the west.
Three large screw steamers of 1000 tons
burden, and having a speed of eighteen
knots an hour, have been ordered for the
Vancouver to Yokohama passage; and
three others of still greater size and power,
capable of steaming twenty knots an
hour, are about to be ordered FOR the At
lantic passage from the south of Eng
land to Halifax, n. S., in winter, and
Quebec in summer. They expected to
be ready in February, 1891, and to make
the passage in five and one-half days at
the outside. Travellers will thus be able
to go from London to Yokohama, via
British America, in twenty-three days.
The distance is $3.50 miles, as against
IS, $50 by the Suez canal, and 1880 by
the Cape route. Even Shanghai is 1000
miles nearer London by the new route
than by Suez, not to speak Of the Cape
route, which, of course, is longer.-Lon-
don Globe.

The Colored soldier.

The colored brother in the regular
army sticks to his colors in a way that
calls forth the praise of his officers.
While q per cent. of the men of the light
batteries desert, only 2 per cent. of the
colored soldiers abandoned their duty.
The Twenty-fourth infantry, colored, has
the champion record Of only 1 per cent.
This anne regiment q few years age
made the best target score. The colored
soldiers have for popular officers the same
attachment the colored people used to
show towards lind masters in slavery
days. To handle them to the best adyan-
tage an officer must be their guide, phi
losopher and friend; then no soldier will
stand by him better. The bsunettes have
the reputation ON the frontier of being
though citizens" but very hardy SOL
diers.-Boston Transcript.

There will be worlds fairs enough in
1892 to go round. That is settled. OF
course the United States will have one.
Spain has officially given notice of an in

memoration of Columbus voyage, and
there is a probability that Italy will hold
another.

Great interest is manifested in Lock
port over the Campbell air ship, now
building, in which an %aeronaut intends
to sail over Niagara Falls. By lover
the falls" it must not be understood that
the great ship is to sail down with the
current and make the great plunge OF
15S feet over the cataract; for, on the
contrary, it is intended to sail high in the
air above the Niagara Falls and river.
The exact date of the trip has not yet
been set,

Some Foolish People

Allow a cough to run until it gets beyond
the reach Of medicine. They often say,
"0h, it will wear away" but in most
cases it wears them away. Could they

The first returns received in Paris
after the recent election were from Co

in Cochin China being seven hours in
advance of Paris time, so that the tele-
graph was able to transmit the news be-
fore even the Paris results were known.
