WHEN TENNYsoN WAS REBUKED.-
Little as Tennyson cared for society,
he was sometimes to be met in houses
which interested him, and one of these
was the Duchess Of Bedford's, in Eaton
square, now the dowager duchess. 1t

he saw a certain great lady of whom he
had heard, but whom he did not know.
He desired to be introduced to her, or
perhaps-for his ways were sometimes
regal-desired that she might be pre-
sented to him. In whichever way it
was, the ceremony took place, and Ten
nyson's second remark was this ques-
ton, ooh, Lady Blank, do l know Lord
Blank ?n The person about whom he
thus inquired was peer, who, though
young, had won much distinction in
public life and was widely known in
private. Hiswife was devoted to him and
Jealous of any word which sounded like
disparagement ofhis position or indifler-
ence to his renoWn. She looked Ten
nyson in the face and answered, with
perfect composure of manner: II am
sure, Lord Tennyson, 1 can't say. /
never heard him mention your name in
my life.n For q moment the poet was
staggered by this straight hit from the
shoulder, but he had the good sense and
good temper to take it well.-San Fran

A MOB ATTACKS A PRIEsT.-Yester-
day was a day of keen anxiety in the
Saar district, Germany, where the strik-
ing miners and their anarchist leaders
made desperate attempt to save their
cause by spreading terror and threaten
ing open conflict. In Puttlingen mob
of 200 strikers raided the houses of the
men who had refused to join them,
dragged out and beat several, and
smashed the windows. In Forbach, a
mob starting ont with similar pur-
pose, was stopped for a moment by a
priest, who begged the men 10 be rea-
sonable and not to make innocent
workingmen suffer for trying to sup
port their families. The doctrines of
anarchy which they were trying to re-
alize were disgracefnl to Germans and
Christians. A pistol was fired at the
priest as be spoke against the anarcb-
lists, and then q shower of stones fell
around him. The mob made rush
for him, but he saved himself by run
