CURIOUS STORY.
An Incidenv In New England Minister'S
Life Related by Tennyson.

An Ineidenp In o New England Ministers
Life Related by Tennyson.
A writer in Tho Tablet relates curious
story which he heard from the lips of Lord
Tennyson during a visit to Farringford
some four or five years ago. They were sit
ting under the shadow of some great mag
nolas that cover one side of the house. and
the conversation turned upon the super
natural and the possibility of commnnicar
tions from the other world
Tennyson then told of a dissenting min
lister in one of the New England states
noted for his powers as preacher, who
one Sunday morning, instead of reading a
text and giving discourse in the usual
way, suddenly in most dramatic manner
began to reeite 1.-THE Charge of the Light
Brigade The congregation listened
breathlessly to the end, but before the
service had concluded elders and people
were loud in their anger at the way M
which the chapel had been profaned. Their
murmurs found the minister wholly un-
prepared.
He had gone into the pulpit intending to
speak about the need for charity and was
wholly unconscious of what he had done.
Convinced at length by testimony which
he could not withstand he was filled with
remorse, went sadly To his room that night,
morning, seeking consolation and not find
ing any. At daybreak they brought him
word that man looking like tramp
wanted to see him urgently.
The minister, half from habit, decided to
see him. The stranger came straight into
the room and simply said, Il come to thank
the man who has saved my soul.n The
minister stood In silence, wondering wheth-
er this was some new mockery of his senses.
The stranger went on: II was all through
the Crimea, and was in the thick of the
fight at Getty 5sburg, but never till heard
you recite that poem in the chapel yester-
day did know what l had to thank God
for. Sir from that hour | determined to
change my life, and l want to thank the
man to whom | owe my salvation"

CONDITION OF FINANCES.

The Treasury surplus of $780,
100000 of gold was intended by law
as a fund to guarantee the circula-
ton of the greenbacks, and now to
apply it to the redemption of the
Sherman silver notes will certainly
result in exhausting it in a very
short time. This would leave the
greenbacks without the gold back
ing, which is not desirable by any
means, but it seems that Secretary
CARLISLE regards it as being more
preferable than to borrow the gold

considerable length, which shows
that as soon as the Secretary Of the
