A Dasoript1on of Tennxson

Everybody knows by photograph the
manner of man Lord Tennyson is,-surely
a beautiful face, if ever the adjective could
bs applied to masculine features, and
never mora beautiful in any stage of life
than now, when age has fixed all the finer
features, and ent them a new dignity and
majesty. Everybody is familiar with the
broad forehead, the clear, deep eyes, the
strongly cut nose and finely chiseled lips,
the long hair f~ringing those temples
shrines of high thought-and the genial,
massive and commanding aspect of the
poet. Albeit past his eighty-second birth
day, Lord Tennyson's figure is only weak
ened, not broken, by age. His hair pre-
serves much of its old, dark color, and, e1-
cepting in places, is hardly more than
'.sable-silvered." His spirit is as alert,
his glance as keen and alight, as ever.
Though he does not rise upon our entrance,
making no ceremony with friends, he leads
at once an animated conversation. 1t is a
summer day, or rather early autumn; but
the weather has been chilly, and the winds
are blowing from that dismal quar-
ter the east, SO that the poet is
wearing a loose wrapper. and around his
neck a white silk handkerchief loosely
knotted, By the way, on the left side of
his neck there lodges a small brown birth
mark, very characteristic, rs if a drop of
dark wine had dropped there and had
stained tho skin. His hands are manly and
powerful in outline, but delicate and finely
formed. as those of a poet should be, On
his head, as an additional protection from
the c%aprices of the English weather, he
wears a small black velvet cap. These pre-
cautions are the more necessary, because
not long ago he was suffering sadly from
rheumatism and bronchitis, which at one
time, indeed, filled all his friends with anx-
iety, and became for weeks together q ma
tional concern. And a certain shadow
]overhangs the hospitable abode, moreover,
from tn, illness of Lady Tennyson always
a great invalid, but recently and to-day in
positive danger), so that our first inquiries
are made in an anxious and subdued ton e;
nor does the conversation fairly n
till we have been a little reassured by the
last report of the doctor. We shall not see
the gentle face of the poets wife to-day,
she is hopelessly imprisoned in her room;
but upon the wall hangs a charming por-
trait of her in oils, by Watts. and she is
known far and wide in the neighborhood
for her kindness Of heart and graceful
charities. Sir Edwin Arnold, in the De-
cember Forum.

SUPERINTENDENT PORTER is rushing
into the newspapers with an account Of
how he has managed the census. He
should not be in a hurry. One Of the

lay before the country the inside work

he has been manipulating in the inter

of this number pervades also tho editorial

THE Hon. Russell b. Harrison made a
sorry failure in attempting to play the

stone state remain obdurate IN their OPP

naturally will vote for Pig Iron McKin-
ley in the convention. r. B. Fl. should

EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER, who
was snubbod and ignored by the presi-
dent in forming. the cabinet and in the
matter Of appointments in New York,
was asked in Chicago to name his choice
for president. "That / must decline to
discuss" he said. MI. Miller does not
need to discuss the question. The
slump OF the Miller vote from Fassett in
the rural districts Of New York speaks
louder than words. 1t is Mr.. Miller'e
notice to Benjamin Harrison that he
cannot carry New York without the aid
of Warner Miller.

WHAT are brother Blaine's views on
the silver question? Does he stand in
with brother Harrison in his opposition
TO free coinage? We have never heard

Degradation by Pensions.

and FOR whose benefit pension laws have
been enacted.

cause my loyalty is not, and never was. for
sale.
What would be a just basis for pensionsr
In forming the legislation of the country,
tho clamoring of the ~dishonorable should
not be considered. When the ~pension-roll
is relieved of all those who are not in need.
and all who are willing to earn a living if a
fitting opportunity is found for them, those
that remain will only be very few who can,
under the most favorable circumstances
that can be found for them, earn only
partly enough to support themselves in COM
fort; those who can do nothing towards
their own support; and those who can earn
nothing, and who periodically require the
aid and attendance OF other persons, To
each of these classes abundance should be
given. No honorable person will for an in
slant withhold from such as they the full
sympathy and support which are their due.
When the p~ension-roll has been so sifted,
some dregs may be ~left-moral and physi-
cal wrecks who have reached the lowest
depths of degradation. and are unworthy
of consideration, except as paupers.
I am of the opinion that a close canvass
of all loyal volunteers will result in secur-
ing the active support of at least . hundred
thousand real veterans for such a reform OF
the pension laws as will change the legal
basis of the claim from support by man
ual labor" to impairment of earning capac
ity,' and. further, provide that no claimant
shall receive payments when not in need or
while earning a comfortable living by pub
lie or private employment. More than this,
I believe that, when the reasons for and the
nature of the reform demanded are once
properly understood. large numbers of loyal
volunteers who are now receiving pension
payments that they accept as an honorable
expression Of the nations gratitude and ap-
probation (but who are not in NEEDY will
willingly see their pension certificates can
celled, rather than allow their honorable
service to be used as a cover for pensioninR

Il suicide almost drives him frantic.

In the first place, the event is tele-
