sThe Light Which Travel Sheds
 Upon the Poets.o
 [George E. Woodberry in the September Cen
 tury.l
 1 have never seen it set down among the advantages of travel that one learns to understand the poets better. To see courts and governments, manners and customs, works of architecture. statues and pictures and ruins-this, since mod ern travel began, is to make the grand tour; but though have diligently sought such obvious and common aims, and had my reward, I think no gain so great as that I never thought of, the light which travel sheds upon the poets; unless, in- deed, should except that stronger hold on the reality of the ideal creations of the imagination which comes from familiar life with pictures and statues. and kindred physical renderings of art. This latter advantage must necessarily be more mar rowly avsiled of by men, since 1t implies 8 certain peculiar temperament; but poe try in its less exalted forms, is open and common to all who are not immersed in the materialism of their own lives, and whatever helps to unlock the poetic treas ures of other lands for our possession may be an important part of life.
 think none can fully taste the sweet ness, or behold the beauty, of English song even, until he has wandered in the lanes and fields of the mother country and in the case of foreign, and especially of the ancient, poets, so much of whose accepted and assumed world of fact has perished, the loss Is very great. I had trodden many an Italian hillside before I noticed how subtly Dsnte's landscape had become realized in my mind as a part of nature.

The Ancestry of Daniel Webster.
 From GA Glance at Daniel Webster" by Mel
 len Chamberlain, in the September Centuryl
 A famous anti slavery orator once pub licly thanked God that Daniel Webster was not born in Massachusetts; and this was received with acclsiming shouts by the audience. Nor did they appear to mo- tice any incongruity when the orator pro- ceeied to objurgste Webster, just as though he had been born in Boston, and were recreant descendant of Thomas Dudley. This is the common mistake-to scent, inherited principles, education and consequent responsibilities. He was no Puritan, nor did he ever pretend to be one. The Massachusetts Puritsns, who came to Boston bay in 16S0, were east of England people. Daniel Webster's snces. tors were from the north of Englsnd. and coming six years later, entered New Hamp- shire by the Piscstsqus, and for genera tions were dispersed along the skirmish line of civilization, remote from the Puri. tans of the bay, and shared neither in their glory nor in their shame.
 In Webster was no admixture of ns- tionality, no crossing of plebeian with pa trician blood. He was 8 genuine son of the soil, though not, like Burns, of a soil alive with a hundred generations of the dead, nor of soil like that about Boston, every sod of which was quickened with associations touching the hearts and mold ing the characters of those born on 1t; but of soil on which his fathers footfsn was the first of civilized man ever heard IT that silent wilderness. He was 6 rustic yet with marks of gentle blood in hii shspely hands and feet, his well propor tioned limbs, and his high bred face of nt known type, unlike even his own brother who was of Grecian form and face.
 Of the Puritans neither by birth nor by circumstances, he possessed few of theil virtues, and none of their defects; and least of all their indomitsbIe provincialIty of thought and conduct In this hs stands quite alone among the public men of his day in New England. His spirit oi nationality appeared so early In life that Il indicated character rather than education And the depth of the sentiment appears from this, that though born 8 Federslist and from early manhood associated pro fessionslly and socially with some of the very able men prominent in the "Essez Junto" and in the Hartford convention, hs neither accepted their principles nor imi tsted their conduct. At no time WAS he { southern man or northern man, but tC the end of bis life National Federslist after the fashion of Washington.

A Tennyson Story. TEroy,. fha GhsffaAfa TF,Aarsns4a-,.


 One day. when Mr. Phelps was minister at the court of St. James. 8 gentleman from Omaha called upon him with the modest request that he would assist him in obtaining number of autographs of emi- nent Englishmen. The visitor was, indeed, not scrupulous to exclude eminent English women, and If Mr. Phelps could obtain for him few friendly lines from the Queen they should have an houored place in his native town hall, on whose behalf he had undertaken the commission. MT. Phelps was struck with the quiet pertinscity of the man and helped him to & good many valuable autographs. Appetite growing with what 1t fed upon, the gentleman from Omaha declared he could not go back with out obtaining specimen of the Poet Laa- reste's handwriting. Mir. Phelps said he did not know Lord Tennyson, and from what he had heard of him thought he was not approschsble on the subject But, he ssid; ''you write him yourself In your own way; tell him your business here and what you want from him." The gentleman from Omaha obeyed the instruction, and after few posts there reached him & man uscript copy of the first page of 'tIn Memorism" in Tennyson's own hand writ ing, and signed by his name.

 The city of New Haven hadn't money enough to buy flag. It made itself more or less ridiculous by allowing the Register Publishing company to treat it to one. And 1t is making itself more ridiculous by the pulling and hauling which Is going on concerning who shall pull and haul the flag. With the pirates In our hsrbor and the patriots on land New Haven is we'll advertised.
 Nothing has psined us more in the whole curious and sad affair than the attempt the situation on the Irish and the semi Irish. This Is all wrong They are doing all they eau for the city and they can't be expected to attend to everything So let us be fair and not say "Hurroo" when we mean "aurrah!"
 Our own opinion Is that the "towr born" are at fault. They should long ago when New Haven was rich aud prosper oua, and they had the say, have estab lished town flag fund, with their names attached to it, just as some names are at tached to the Soldiers monument Ther patriotism and local pride could have aourished together world without end and all this disturbing talk about the semi seasoned and new citizens wouldn't have been heard.
 It is an unfortunate state of things, but we gre glad to be able to announce that patriotism in New Haven Is not entirely dead. We have received communica tion from Wun Lung and Hop Hi, who say that while they don't quite dare te offer to pull the flag up and down on ac count of the prejudice it might excite 1T the breasts of those who have been longer in the country than they have. they vii wash 1t as often as 1t needs washing.

Monkeys Which Make Pottery and

 An extraordinary story Is told by the London Daily News, which states that Dr. Mcgowan hss returned to Tient-tin, bring ing with him among other curious ditcOy- cries, some particulars of race of Man churian monkeys inhabiting the mountain region of the great wall ot China. They are said to know how to make pottery; more remarkable still, they are represented as having made extraordinary progress in the art of making wine. 4 recent edition of the official history of YungpIng states that lately large body of immigrsting monkeys passed certain villseein crossing one mountain 10 another. The boys of the village clspped their hands and shouted al the spectacle, and the monkeys, being frightened, fled, taking their young in their srms, but dropping iu their flight s number of esrthen vessels, eums of which would hold s quart. On opening these, the villagers found they contained two kinda of wine, pink and green, that had been made from mouatain berries Ii is af- 6rmed that the monkeys store this EqcoE for use in the winter when the water is sll frozen. Dr. Mcgowan cites other inde' pendent testimonies to similar facts, in clnding Chinese account of monkeys in Chekiang who pound fruitin stone mortart I to make into wine. and he asks, "Is 1t like 1 ly that all these etstement are pure inven .Iopslv

STRONG AND SAFE.

AIN D SA
 The strong school ticket which was put into the field at meeting of represen- tative gentlemen at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce has another merit than the character and qualifications of the nominees. In its construction careful attention was paid to the long established rule which has governed the making of school tickets. It will keep the Board just as it stands now politically and in other important respects. In our opinion no attempt should be made to disturb the existing arrangement, which satisfes all and tends to keep school sffairs out of politics. No greater misfortune could happen to the schools than to have plan which has worked 80 we'll disarranged. We therefore look upon some of the sug- gestions which, if successful, would in- volve such disarrangemsnt as very un- wise.
 Messrs. Betts, Moran, Morgan and Thompson satisfy the situation in every way. No better ticket has been nominated for many years. There should be no run ing off after side issues. A change in the membership of the Board is needed. It should be wisely made, ard the ticket which has been nominated gives the oppor- tunity to make 1t wisely.
