spent with Lord Tennyson long

fore he took his oaths and his seat as a
peer. He was occupied good deal in
writing and bringing to perfection a
poem of four lines, which he told me

substantive poem Of some length. Il
was interesting to hear of his tentative
efforts and his rejection Of them, till his
ear and his mind were perfectly satisfied.
Next day met him in the house Of lords
and saw him write his name on the roll
Of peers.
The attendance in the house was ex-
ceedingly scanty on that historic occa-
sion. do not think that dozen per-
sons were present. The poet was not in
the smallest degree elated. His true
eminence lowered supremely above the
adventitious honor, yet he could not but
feel the qualification which had arisen,
not from the fulfllment Of q kind Of am
bition which he had never felt, but from
the sense of the secure fame involved in
the recognition by his country of the
priceless services which he had rendered
to her literature. London Sunday Mag

have just reached here. John Hoy, his
wife. Mollie: his son, William. aged 8,
and daughter. Portia, aged 8, were
found at p, nj. with their threats cut
from ear to ear. The superstition is
that Hoy murdered his wife and chill
dren and then committed suicide. The
evidence points strongly towards this
conclusion, but there are also rea-
IONS to believe the family have been
murdered The bodies were discovered
by Mrs Mary Egan, Hoy's mother by
former husband. When she entered
the house she was Mortified to see large
pools of blood on the floor. She rushed
through the house and up stairs to the
bedroom of her SON and wife. The
sight that met her gaze was terrible.
Stretched on the bed was Mrs. Hoy,
and at the foot of it on the floor was
Hoy. cold in death. Both had their
Threats Cut From Ear tn Ear.
Mrs. Esan ran from the house scream
ing. A short distance away she tainted
and was carried into neighbours house.
After the alarm was given hundreds of
people fiocked to the scene of the trag-
edy. The doors were barred, however,
and no one was admitted until $50 p.
M, when Coroner Baton and jury
viewed the bodies. The first room Wis
tied by the coroner was that Of Hoy
and his wife. Mrs. Hoy,s throat had
been cut from ear to ear with razor.
AT the foot of the bed was Hoy, with q
large. gaping wound across the throat,
his head lying in pool of blood. On
stand near by was a bloody razor. In
room back of their parents lay William
Hoy, aged 8, and his sister Portia, aged
g. neatly tucked under the bedclothes.
Both their Threats were cut from ear to
ear. Behind the right ear of the girl
was a wound from the blunt end Of a
Ratchet that was found in her fathers
room. Hoy was IS years old and
until six weeks ago was a trusted con.
ductor on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. At that time he was suspended
for getting drunk in Cumberland and
