His Work.
Rev. George Stuart, who assisted Rev.
Sam Jones in conducting series of
meetings in this city few weeks ago,
passed through Roanoke yesterday
morning on the $50 o'clock westbound
train, accompanied by his wife and
children, en- route to Tazewell county
to spend few days with relatives. Mr.
Stuart was accosted by TIMES re-
porter and was told by him that he had
been conducting a series of meetings for
a week at Madison Court House.
They built a large tabernacle with
q seating capacity OF 1000" he said,
land don't think in all my life and in
all my travels ever conducted or had
anything to do with meeting that was
as beneficial as the one have just fin
ished. People were converted by
hundreds and great deal
preached two sermons every day and
sometimes three, and had the CO. opera
tion of all the ministers and good peo-
pie of the town.
The tabernacle was crowded to its
utmost capacity all the time and the
heat disagreeable, yet the interest in
the meetings did not decrease" Mr..
Stuart added further that he would,
after spending few days with friends
in Tazewell county, go to Richmond,
Mo-, next week to assist Rev. Sam Jones
in meeting of ten days duration. He
expressed his regrets at not being able
to stop over in the city longer, and said
he would always have an interest in the
welfare of the Magic City, and would
never forget the people and kindness
shown him while here.

Little is known respecting the col
legiate life of Lord Tennyson, though
occasional references to it crop out from
time to time in the correspondence Of
his fellow students. To what extent he
was a student in the learned tongues is
not clear in his early verse, or not so
clear as that he was a student Of English
poetry. Nor was he alone in this study,
and the practice which accompanied it,
for, besides his friend Hallam, his brother
Charles was bent, like himself, on win
ming the laurel. The two brothers pub
lished two more collections of verse in
1880, not together, as in the Louth ven
ture three years before, but separately.
Charles Tennyson's volume, which
was the smaller Of the two. consisted
mostly of sonnets, or rather of carelessly
constructed quartorzains, which so many
English poets will insist upon writing
and calling sonnets, while the volume
of Alfred, though it contained seven Of
these upshapely compositions, had a
wider scope and range, as was indicated
by its title. Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" 1t
was followed by second collection two
years later. The reception that these
volumes met with is worthy of chap
ter in the "Curiosities Of English Crit
cisn." should such work ever be writ

able as the reception Of Wordsworth's

Habitual Posture.

Comparatively few persons have both
sides Of the body of perfectly similar
proportions. One leg or one arm is
shorter than the other. The two sides
of the head are often Of unequal size.
Few persons have ears Of an equal size
and symmetrically placed. The size and
position of the eyes vary. In the mouth
and throat also we find inequality, and
the cartilage separating the two nasal
cavities is oftener DETECTED than YER
teal.
This condition Of inequality in tho
two sides Of the body is called asym-
metry.
Those who have observed the effects
of school life ON body development must
have noticed the influence of habitual
posture on the symmetry and health Of
the body.
There is tendency among school
children, and especially among school
girls, to assume habitual postures both
in sitting and standing. The habit Of
throwing all the weight of the body on
one leg produces corresponding throw
ing of the upper part Of the body toward
the opposite side in order to establish
the necessary equilibrium. This tends
Of course to curve the spinal column,
on which the upper part of the body 10
supported.
In this position the body and all the
internal organs are thrown out of their
normal vertical position, and the force
of gravity still further exaggerates this
result. Thus the muscles of the neck
are unevenly exercised in the uncon-
scious balancing of the head upon the
vertebral column. Even the muscles Of
the face tend TO become unevenly con-
tracted, and this in time develops con-
dition Of asynmetry of the face

Some Interesting Political Figures.

The two states in which the colored
voters absolutely predominant in num-
beers are South Carolina and Mississippi.
In South Carolina there are l02. 600
white voters and 1872 900 colored voters.
In Mississippi there are 10000 white
voters and 10000 colored voters-a
colored majority Of 10000 in each state.
Louisiana has more white than colored
voters, but it has, on the other hand,
more colored voters native born than
white voters native born. These are the
figures: Colored voters, 10000; white
voters native born, 10000; foreign
born white voters, 25,00e. The latter
hold the balance Of power. numerically,
and this is the only state in the Union
where this condition of things prevail.
