The work of locating the lines of the Army
of the Potomac and of the Army of Northern
Virginia at the battle of Antietam has pro-
crossed under the supervision of Col J. C.
Stems of Vermont and Gen. Henry Heth of
Virginia, says the annual report Of the quarter
master general of the army. The rositions of
the forty-three commands of the regular army
participating in or present during that battle
have been temporarily marked with wooden
markers. to be replaced by stone tablets
as soon as title to the land can
be obtained; and that the line of battle
and positions occupied by the Army of Northern
Virginia on the morning of September IL. 1852
have been very definitely settled. although it
will be impossible to locate many of the brigades
of this army by name by reason of the absence
Of reports Of officers commanding these organ
izations. large amount of information has
been accumulated which will be used to prepare
an interesting series Of maps Of the battle of
Antietam.

Lady Tennyson.

From the London Star.
Lady Tennyson has been for several years a
great invalid. and has passed most Of her later
life lying on a sofa. She is a sweet, affectionate
old lady, and in her youth was very pretty.
She has not got over the blow at the death OF
her son Lionel. The Tennysons are a peculiarly
attached family, and Hallam. the eldest son.
has all his life been mos. devoted TO his illus
trious father. Tennyson. who was shy, re-
served man. could never understand Robert
Browning love of society. He has been hear I'd
to remark that Browning would die in a white
choker at a dinner party. The two poets have
died as they would have wished TO die-Robert
Browning in the grand Palazzo Resonnicco,
with his son by his bedside and Lord Tenny-
son in his beloved Surrey home. surrounded by
his loved ones. Tennyson's seusitiyeness was
often much tried in the matter of reviews of
his works. If unfavo rable he would cry with
pain aud veNation. whenever an unfavorable
word appeared in paper. however obscure.
the publication was Immediately hidden or de-
stroyed, 40 that the poet should never See or
hear anything that could pain him.

ARGUING WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Sydney Gedge of England Writes About
Visit to the white House.

LONDON. Oct. 2i-Mr Sydney Gedge, for
u,orly a member Of the house of commons, hav
/ ing sat for Stockport in the conservative
interest, has written letter to the Time.
giving the details of an interview he had
wear ago with President Harrison II
Washington In the course Of his letter Mr.
Gedgc saws ne was invited 70 the White House
by the President and accepted the invitation.
During a couycrsatIon President Harrison
spoke freely upon the operations
Of the Mckinley tariff and it,
effects upon British exports to America. Mr.
G-lge expressed the opinion that that tariff
would not keep British manufactured goods
out OF America. for the reason that
the Americans had corn to the value
of $500 900 900 TO sell to the British
and this enormous amount would not be paid in
gold because Great Britain could not spare il
aud because il was doubtful if there was 80
much gold in the country.
President Harrison stated that America would
then drive England into bi-metalism which was
what he wanted To do.
In response TO this Mr.. Gedge asked Of what
the gold would be unless il was spent in
manufactures and products that America does
not POSSESS.
The President replied that the chief CONNER
cial object of every country was to hoard az
large a store of gold as possible in the national
treasury.
Respect for the Presidents position" adds
Mr.. Gedge. stopped the retort that rose to my
lips that in England old women like to do the
same thing with stocking"
Mr.. Gedge says that President Harrison next
asked how the American corn was to be paid
for. and was evidently annoyed by the conf
dent tore Of Mr.. Gedges reply that II would be
paid for in British goods
Tho President challenged him to prove this
assertion and Mr.. Gedge replied: wishing
10 take my people at home some choice presents
from the United States. | have been TO the best
shops in New York and Washington and found
nothing suitable except things made in Eng
land or France. The shopkeepers said they had
no high-class article Of American manufacture,
that English goods were the best and thaefich
Americans would have them, no matter what
they cost"
In reply 70 this President Harrison said:
We'll, free trade may be best for England, but
protection is best for the United States"
To this Mr.. Gedge said: 81 am glad you
think so, because although If the United States
we're 20 abandon protection, trade between
America and Great Britain would largely in
crease, yet Americas enormous advantages
would soon permit her to undersell Great
Britain In the neutral markets, whereas now
Great Britain can keep them"
According to Mr.. Gedge President Harrison
said scoffingly. New trade markets are half
savage places, and this ended the discussion.

A Story of Reatie.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
Alexandra Dumas the younger, in his re-
Gently published utterances in connection with
audiences, firstnight cabals, prejudiced critics,
and the lost art of hatred, irresistibiy reminds
his readers Of our own Charles Rcade Both
combined . wild intemperance OF invective
with the most charitable and amiable disposi-
ton. A friend once called on Charles Reade
and found him sitting at his desk placidly
smiling. while with great precision and deliber-
alton be inscribed his thoughts on sheet of
foolscap in q large schoolboy text He might
have been writing love letter, he seemed 70
happy. He was in reality scarifying '-criti-
caster" in language that made his friends hair
stand on end. Charles Mathews was fond of
telling Q story of Charles Reade whom the cur
tain fell at the old Queens Theater on pro-
nounced failure called "A White Lie" There
was no shadow Of q call. The curtain divided
the audience from the author, who stood on
the stage shaking his fist at the invisible foe,
stin smiling blAndly, and In meltiduous accents
saying: ..Infernal idiots! when ahall ] teach
you 20 respect Charles Reade?''
