Tennyson at Home.

Tennyson was never tat home' except to such cherished friends as his neighbor the late Professor Tyndall Access to his study was consequently denied to nearly all callers, and even the presence of those who obtained the privilege of entree there was sometimes irksome to the poet whose part in the conversation usually consisted of monosyllables, as remember to have once happened during my stay, but he could be very gracious to callers when in the mood. On the other hand, Sir Edwin Arnold, in his "Reminiscences" of the poet, says, Albeit you saw Private road painted on the first rod of his domain and Private grounds inscribed upon the first boundary of his fence, he did not like coup- try people to pass him on the road without recognizing him. ."-Gentleman's Maga. zine

OLD PAPERS.
A Copy of the Citizen" Hidden
From Sight for Fifty Years in
the Independent Hose Com
pany's Building.

Workmen tearing down a portion of
the upper front wall of the engine
house of the Independent Hose Com
pany, on West Church street, prepara-
tory to erecting new building, using
only the massive walls of the structure
now standing, came across a wooden
box, carefully mortised in the bricks
at the top of the highest window, some
little the worse for the wear and tear.
but still in an excellent state of preser-
walton. 1t was carefully removed from
the place where it had remained for a
period of time covering over half CEN
tury, and opened, whilst spectators
locked on in great wonderment. Some
little effort was required to draw the
we'll rusted nails from their sockets,
aud finally the lid was raised. Inside
was collection of papers, plats, list
OF names OF workmen engaged on the
ola building, and other interesting rel.
les. Among the papers was copy of
The Republican Citizen dated Fri
day, April 18th, 1916, just 40 years, 9
months and s days from this date.
The paper is not in very good condi-
ton; dampness and some worm or in
sect, the presence of which being indi-
Gated by tiny little holes all over the
sheet, having made great ravages upon
it. The type is clear and distinct and
nearly all articles can be read.
The CITIZEN was then owned and
edited by Mr.. j. w. Baughman, de-
ceased, father of the present editors and
proprietors, and the office was on
Church street, opposite the Court
House. On the margin of the paper,
written in large bold hand, were the
names of A. J. Wilcoxon and George
Z. Albaugh. The former was part
ner of the late j. Hanshew Markey in
the lumber business, and died only d
short time ago. Mr.. Albaugh, who
was brother of Captain Morris AL.
baugh, died some time ago in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. A review of the old pa.
per was quite treat, and many inter
esting accounts of happenings in those
days show how marked has been the
changes since then, and cause a query
to come up as to whether or not the
process of advancement will be as great
In the next half decade as in that

On Tuesday evening, the 1lth inst,

Church at Jefferson, Calvin Fry and
Miss Annie Rhoderick, both of JEFF

A very pretty nuptial event was that
by which Mr.. Harry Blackston, a
well known draper and tailor, and son
of post master B. H. Blackston, and
Miss Clara G., daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adolph Hahn, were joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony, by Rev.
Lutheran Kuhman, at the Lutheran
Church, on Wednesday evening last.
Quite number of relatives and friends
ofthe young couple witnessed the GER
emony and heartily wished them
much happiness and prosperity
through life's journey. The church
was handsomely adorned with choice
flowers and the bride and groom
plighted their troth under an arch of
smllax and margareuites. Lohen-
grin's triumphial march was rendered
on the organ by DR.. 7. S. Eader, and as
the solemn words of the sacred service
were pronounced by the minister,
sweet melodious voluntaries issued
from the choir and combined with the
fragrance of the spring flowers as an Of
fering at the shrine of love.
The bride was becomingly engowned
in white brocade satin, with point
lace and pearl trimmings and she also
wore diamonds, which were presents
from the groom. The ushers were
Messrs. Henry Moberly, Ralph and
Grayson Bowers, Charles Carly, Chas.
Byerly and William Fout. Misses
Lena w. and Iva Hahn, nieces of the
bride, were the flower girls. The
newly welded couple are natives of
Frederick and possess host of friends.
The groom is promising young busi-
ness man and deserves success. After
a short trip to Washington and Allan
tic City, they will reside in this city,
where they will be at home to their
many acquaintances.

OUR CITY GOVERNMENT
Facts and Figures Showing in the

bearing interest at the rate of per cent,
taxes S1.1 on the hundred dollars. One or
two years thereafter, floating debt of $l2,-
500, paid, bonded debt reduced to $54S, 900.
Amount refunded after some difficulty, at
5 per cent, a saving to the city of about
So, 900 per annum, and taxes reduced to
S1.00 on the 500. In the year 'sl-'S2 a
uew water main for high service, in South
Market and South streets, laid at cost of
about S12, 900. Amount paid for the bond
ed debt we find steadily diminished, until
July 1888, it was reduced to $512, ZOO.
Amount of bonds issued for same again re-
funded from to per cent, another saw
ing to the city of about $4,000, a financial
feat most extraordinary and remarkable,
considering the magnitude of our indebted
ness, as compared to the population of our
city, and its basis for taxation About this
time the Electric Light plant was purchased
and paid for at a cost of $l5, 800. Garbage
ordinance passed. Taxes reduced from 81

Two years ago, new reservoir built at
cost of $35, 900, and if the accident of leak
age had not then been encountered, it
would have been built for S2s. 900, or $50

vorable comparison with all other expendi-
lures for water facilities by the city.

doubt it.
