SHELTER OF GENIUS.

House Where Swinburne, ROssetti and
Meredith Once Lived Together.
Thirty-fve years ago. when George
Meredith was in moderate circum-
stances, he and Swinburne, who was
in about the same financial position,
went to live in the sd ne house with
Rossetti, who likewise had limited pos
sessions. Their residence was cheer
full and commodious house in Chelsea,
standing in Cheyne walk and facing
the river Thames, that then swept up
and forth, at e.,b ami flow, under the
wooden piers of old Battersea bridge
now gone. 1t was the same house that
George Eliot occupied ia the latter and
more prosperous per.OI Of her career.
Within its walls SwInburne wrote his
great drama. ATLANTA" ami the first
series of his "Pos ms and Ballads" and
a critical essay on William Blake, be-
side other productions of less impor-
lance. In another room Rossetti alter
nately wrought upon his famous pic
ture of Dante and Beatrice and wrote
many of his finest poems. In still
another room Mere nth labored to con-
dense his stanzas into lines and his
pages into paragraphs.
Meredith being a creature of freedom
and preferring the life of birds to the
trammels OF ordered life was the first
to break away. Some two years after
ward Swinburne left, for by the year
1866 each of these three celebrated men
was in position TO maintain his own
establishment They parted good
friends RDssetti was the last to leave
Tudor house, as it then was and still is
.alled.-London Cor. Boston Tran

of the experience of Rev. Juno Moore,
who went from South Carolina to Lii
IBERIA 81 years ago, made fortune there,
and has returned to South Carolina for
visit He is Baptist minister, but
finds time for successful business enter
prises. He reports that the climate
Of Liberia has been greatly maligned.
and that there is very rarely such
weather as the United States has been
suffering from of late. There is fever.
but there is no great danger for those
who take care of themselves. Coffee is
the chief product. but ginger, sugar
and cotton can also be raised with profit.
The great need at present is industrial
education. He finds that negroes from
the United States do not have sufficient
independence and energy to make their
way.

cherish desire to represent Georgia in
the Senate of the United States. In March,
1874 when Governor Northen, without sug-
gest'on or solicitation, appointed me to that
great Office, 1t seemed my hope had been
realized. 1 was anxious to accept the place
thus generously rendered. AT the time of
the appointment Congress was in session,
and l had been honored by election to the
once OF Speaker. A very large majority of
the den. n.ocratic members of the House unit
ed in an appeal that ''in the interest of the
country and the party" should decline the
office OF Senator. From my standpoint no
other course was open to me. Now no such
condition exists, and 1 write this that you
may recall my situation then, and that
may be free to become a candidate for the
position of United States Senator for the
term beginning March 4, 1897.
1t only remains for me to add that your
long-continued confidence, your cordial,
constant support. and your unvarying con-
sideration and kindness have placed me un-
der obligations which 1 can never hone to
repay, and for which beg you TO believe
am now and ever shall be most profoundly
grateful. Truly and sincerely yours,
There will probably be an active contest
over the sendtorship. The general impress
sion appears to be that Crisp will be elected
but whether he is or not. he will retire from
the House at the close of the present term
The announcement of his determination to
retire from the House excited great interest
and called forth many expressions of regret
from his associates. 1t was certain that as
long as he remained in the House he would
be the recognized leader of his party, and If
the democrats should chance to get a ma
1ority IN the next House. there is no doubt
expressed that he would be again elected
Speaker without opposition. His retirement
will leave the field open for some new leader
OF the democrats in the next House.
Representative Sayers of Texas said this
morning that .he greatly regretted Mr.
Crisp's decision to quit the House Il have
no doubt" he said, that Crisp will be elect
ed to the Senate, but, all the same 1 am
very sorry that he is going to leave the
House. We need him in the House"

HCGE BLOCKS OF GRANITE
On Their Way to Wakefield for tn
Monument to Washington.

Monument to Washington.
The huge blocks of granite forming the
pedestal and column of the monument
which is to be erected at Wakefield, West
moreland county, Va, to mark the BIRTH
place cf George Washington are now well
on the way to their destination. They ar
rived here several days ago on fiat cars
from Buffalo, where they had been cut in
to shape by Mr.. Crawford, the contractor,
and were placed on barges at the navy
yard for transp ortation down the Potomac.
The ice in the river caused a delay in their
progress. This was only temporary, how
ever, and the barges stan ted from the yard
Thursday and have now undoubtedly
reached Wakefield. IN.
Considerable difficulty Is ANTICIPATED in
landing tie heavy cargo, because of the
extreme shallownesS of the river at Wake
field and the lack of wharfasef facilities.
consequently the barges will be driven as
near the shore as possible at high tide and
anchored. temporary wharf will then be
built of large stones, over which the mon
ument blocks will be rolled to the shore
Further difficulties in TRANSPORTATION will
then be encountered, inasmuch as the site
selected for the monument Is fully mile
and a half from the nearest point of dis
embarkaticn, AMI connected with it by the
merest excrSe for a road, altogether un-
suited for heavy traffic.
The contractor has made every prepara-
ton for the undertaking and Is confident of
MS ability to accomplish 1t successfully
without accident or material delay. Col
Wilson, corps of engineers who is charged
with the duty of erecting this monument,
viii send one of his assistants to Wake
field early next week to see that the terms
or the contract with Mr. Crawford are
faithfully observed. 1t Is expected that it
Will take at least five or six weeks to get
the stones In place. No ARRANGEMENTS
have yet been made for the dedication Of
the monument. The matter Is under con-
side:ation by the proper authorities. how
ever, and the program will be announced
In due season.
