There Is a story connected with Tenny-
sons prize poem of "Timbuotoo, " which
one may surely tell without undue rever-
ence Of a master who afterward did such
wondrons work. The examiners OF the
prize manuscripts for the year were three
the vice chancellor, who had a great
reputation, but violent temper, and who
did not write we'll; a classical professor,
who knew no poetry which was not in a
dead language and a mathematical pro
fessor. 1t was agreed that each should
signify what he thought Of the poems by
the letters e. and %, for good" and
bad.
The vice chancellor had the manuscripts
first When they came TO the mathemat-
ical professor, he found "Timbuotoo"
scored all over with ''g's." He did not
understand why. He did not even under
stand the poem itself, and beiug afraid to
ask the irasciblo vice chancellor for his
reasons he also wrote 'g" on the produc-
tion.
The classical professor thought it rather
strange that both his predecessors should
admire so unintelligible a work; but, as he
confessed, be did not care one iota about
the matter. So he put down his "g''
with the rest, and as no other poem had
three -g's" the prize was unanimously
awarded to the author Of 'Timbuctoo
After the affair was over tho three ex-
aminers happened one day to meet, and
the vice chancellor, in his absolute fash.
Ion, fell to abusing the other two for their /
tnste IN admiring the poem. They replied, /
with some natural indignation, that they :
should never have dreamt Of considering

"G's" he exclaimed 'They wera as, /

A Story Of Lincoln.

General Sickles that 1 was brought to

President Lincoln came to my room and
sat down by my bedside. He asked about

the terrible slaughter the tears streamed
from bis eyes. / asked him II he had
doubted the result He said No Then
he continued:
This may seem strange to you, but a
few days ago, when the opposing armies
were oonverging, I felt as never before my
utter helplessness in the great crisis that
was TO come upon the country. went into
my own room and locked the door. Then
knelt down and prayed as had never
prayed before. told God that he had
called me to this position; that had done
all that could do, and that the result
now was in bis hands; that felt my own
weakness and lack of power, and that
knew that If the country was to be saved
it was because be so willed it. When
went down from my room, I felt that
there could be no doubt of the ISSUE The
burden seemed to have rolled off my
shoulders, my intense anxiety was relieved,
and IN its place came a great sense of
trustfulness, and that was why I did not
doubt the result at Gettysburg. And,
what is more, Sickles, he continued, /
believe that we may hear at any moment
Of a great success by Grant, who has been
pegging away at Vioksburg for so many
months. By tomorrow you will hear that
le has won victory as important to US in

The Deutsche Revue gives an amusing
account Of the troubles Of Franz Won De.
fregger in obtaining models The famous
art professor Of Munich generally chooses
his subjects among his own special lands
folk, the Tyrolese. Finer models it would
be hard to get, but they have one fatal
superstitiOn-thatw whoever allows himself
to be sketohed, painted or drawn will OBJ
tain speedy Immortality through the
grave, whatever may be his fate on can
vas. Thus, in 1873 when painting his
'Letztos Aufgebot' (''Last Levy'') and
other pictures, he spent months in coun-
try beerhouse before he could find a likely
model, and when he got the man into his
studio 1t was all in vain, for no sooner had
he seen the javelins, darts, pixies and a
complete suit Of armor than he shied back,
professed a faintness of stomach and fed
down stairs. With his second model he
advanced a little farther, but as soon as he
was clad in armor and brandishing an an
cient battleax a stout country woman
rushed in: "Wasi Du whilst NIT dem
gehenY Das sollst du ME und
nimmer." And selling him, armor and
all, she ran him down the fatal stairs.
Outside she held him fast and stripped off
bis armor piece by piece; then, leaving the
disused panoply lying in a heap, she hur-
ried him home, model husband, but not
