Tepnysen's Early Poems.

Tennyson was only eight years old when
he covered both sides of his brothers
slate with poem on "Flowers," done in
unimpeachable meter. His brother had
said to him, "See il you can write poe
try," and when he read the verse on the
slate he merely said: "You've done it,"
Between the ages of eleven and twelve
the young poet wrote an epic of over ZOO
lines in SCOTS octosyllabics mingled
with heroics. These we're the only
finished poems OF Tennyson's boyhood,
but when about fourteen or fifteen years
he commenced a drama in iambic meter
(which still survives. Thus he practiced
himself in three different meters before
he began seriously 10 write or publish.
There is no man, however, who is so care
ful OF his pootical reputation as Lord
Tennyson, and il is not likely that he will
permit this early drama ever TO see the
light of day. The number of his own
poems which Tennyson has suppressed
during his lifetime would fill a bulky
volume.-The Bookman.

Theory vs. Condition.

Little Rock Democrat, ftu.
 Yesterday when Col. Whipple was addressing the republican state con, yention on the beauties and glories oi high protective tariff a pitched battle was going on at Carnegie's Homstead works. near Pittsburg, between large force of Pinkerton's detectives on the one side and the locked-out "protected' laborers on the other. While Col. Whipple was saying that protection gives additional employment to wage earners and artisans" that ''the tariff just about compensates for the low rate of wages abroad, and is, therefore, chiefly beneficial to the wage earner' just at this precise hour-the locked out Carnegie operatives, whose wages had been reduced from 20 to DO per cent were illustrating the practical workings of protection by d bloody battle with the Pinkertons. The glowing periods of Col. Whipple extolling the acheive menls of the trriff sytem form the theoretical side of the question; the locked-out operatives with guns and pistols dealing out death to an army of detectives employed 10 suppress them form the practical side. There is great difference between theory and a condition.

There are two eclipses of the sun every year, and sometimes five, though the obscuration is only partial.
 There are seldom more than SIX thousand stars visible in the heavens to the eye from one point of observa- tion.
 The earth at the equator moves at the rate of a mile in 3.6 seconds, four. tenths uf second slower than the ye- locity of cann0n ball.
 Some idea of ilimitable space may be had when one reads that Prof. Swift be. lleyes that the new comet has been eight million years in getting here. The earth's surface only exceeds the moons by about thirteen and one half times. The moons surface is fully as large as Africa and Australia together and nearly as large as North and South America without the islands.

At every election in Arkansas ther,

At every election in Arkansas there are 10000 to 50,000 poll taxes uncol- lected. The proposed amendment to the constitution will do one of two things: It will either greatly increase the school fund or it will reduce the
 number of voters who evade the tax which should go to the school fund.
 In either event the thing accomplished ! will be right in itself and in accord ! with q sound public policy. Jefferson county win will stand on an equality
 so far as tax paying is concerned, with
 Washington county and Cbiot with Boone-the brother in black with the
 white brother. If the law adds Si0,-
 900 to S50,00O to the school revenues
 every two years, great good will be ac- complished without any discrimination against any voter, white or black. The amendment should be adopted by
 an overwhelming majority.-Little Rock Democrat.

There is more contention to the square inch in Nashville than any place we ever saw mot allowing anything for the size of the place. if there is not a wrangle about one thing there is about another, and instead of improving with age it is getting worse all the time, in- decd the downfall of the town keeps even pace this internal strife. We ven ture the assertion that there is not d man in the town who could poll any thing like solid vote of the town for any office on earth. There are men here who have no local pride on this line and they would vote against a good man because some one they dis liked voted for him. We are sorry such things are so, but we do not mis- represent the case when we state it thus strongly. Unless there is change for the better Nashville will be dead cock in the pit within few short years. Nashville News.
