Tennyson and Birds,

Agnes Weld, niece of Tennyson, speaks thus of the poet in The Contem. porary Review: Much as Tennyson no- ticed every individual tree and plant, bird life had still greater attraction for him. He was much touched by the fact that the eaged linnet loses the red plumage from it's head and breast at the first mott after it's captivity, and never regains them, and he thought of devoting whole poem to the deep yearning for liberty of which this was the sign and type. And one reason he climbed almost daily, when at Fresh water, to the summit of tho Beacon down was because he loved to watch the wild, free flight of the sea gulls oir- cling around it's lofty cliffs

Story of Man Who Thought the Finan-
 cier Bunko Steerer.
 Once when the late Jay Gould went to Margaretville, N. F., with his phy- sieian and private car, he called on his old friend George Decker, a retired merchant of the village, who was for merly clerk with Gould ill Roxbury. Every one who knows Mr. Decker we'll calls him "G, J and this was what Mr. Gould said to him:
 Hello, 'GP I guess you know me this time, don't you?''
 A few years before Decker, while in New York on business one afternoon, was suddenly confronted on Broadway by dapper, black eyed little man, who grasped him by the hand, exelaiming; "How are you, Mir. Decker? am glad to see you.
 Mr. Decker looked the little man over from head to foot, and hurriedly an- swered:
 "Yes, so am I, but don't know yoa, sir. Good day"
 "But, hold up, ;" said the other, "aren't you George Decker of Margaret ville?''
 "oh, yes; that's all right, " respond ed Decker, "but 1 am in too great a hurry to be interviewed today, my friend. You have struck the wrong man.
 "Yes, perhaps, <. said the little man, "but my name is Jay Gould. Don't you know mel"

AN UNFORTUNATE EDITOR.
Edison's Experience In Newspaper Max.
 Ing Was Not Happy One.

In her life story of Edison Mrs. Sarah A. Tooley relates the following con- corning the Wizard"
 Having been successful as news seller, Edison lost no time in becoming an editor and publisher, and like Gar. gison:
 What need of helpg He knew how types wers
 set.
 He had dauntless spirit and press.
 "True, Tom Edison's press only con- sisted of disused set of type purchased for nominal sum, and his combined printing office and editorial sanctum was dilapidated luggage van. but it possessed an advantage of which even Printing House square cannot boast-it was migratory. The van converted to this novel purpose was attached to the train on the Grand Trunk railway, and appropriately enough the paper was en- titled The Grand Trunk Herald.
 "A further venture was Paul Pry, in which, if any one may be excused 8 pun, the editor 'pried into things in too free a manner, and some individuals, incensed at his fun at their expense, dipped him into the river to cool his imagination. Further disaster followed when one day phosphorous bottle up set in his laboratory and nearly set ths train on fire. The conductor promptly removed Edison and his apparatus, printing and chemical, to the platform at the next stopping place.
 1t was a bitter moment, of which Edison cannot think without feeling over again the sense of utter hopelessness and desolation which came upon him when he saw the train whirling off while he stood alone and forsaken among his broken goods, his ear tin gling with brutal box which injured his hearing for life. ,"

HER SOUL uNBuRoENED.
A Young Brides Confession Tn the Was
 ing of the Honeymoon.


 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock- ett had been married nearly three weeks, and they had just returned from their wedding trip They were supremely happy in each others love, and the honeymoon so far bad been to them ss one long, blissful dream. Within the next day o1 two, however, the brids grew slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos. session of her. The young husband no. tieed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on such troubled expression that he said to her:
 You have something on your mind. darling, that is troubling you. Tell ma what it is. :"
 At first she tried to persuade him Chat he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 ''You are wrong, Charley, dear. ' ahe would say. Really, I am not wor. lying over anything am just aa happy as can be. !"
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must tell me what is troubling you. will not be put off any longer. As your husband have right to know ]"
 Seeing that further eoncealment was impossible, she broke down and sobbed bitterly;
 "Oh, Charley, am 50 unhappyi'' she walled 1T --deceived-you. J
 A sickening sensation swept over the young husband. Surely there must be some mistake. She, whom he had looked upon as the personifcation of innocent womanhood-deceiye him It must not be. It would destroy bis happiness and blight his life And then, when he caught sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to the floor. Then, with great effort he controlled his feelings.
 ''Teu me, " he said ''I am prepared for the worst. ,
 "Oh, Charley, am 20 sorryi"
 "You should have thought of this be. fore, "
 ''I know, I know. see my mistake, now it's too late, she cried "Oh, why didn't tell you before we were mar- ried?"
 "Tell me now, and be quick about it cannot bear this suspense.
 'Tell me first that you will forgive ne, she said in pleading tones. "I will devote my whole life in atonemana for this one mistake. ''
 ''I cannot promise until know what 1t is," he said.
 Then she came over and knelt at his feet.
 ''Oh, Charley, you know the wheel l got just few weeks before we were married"--
 "Yes; but what has tnAt'i---
 "Why, bought it--on the-install- ment plan-$4 month-and have only paid-one installment, AndI just know the collector will be--here tomorrow. Oh, Charley" she sobbed, "can you ayex forgive me'?'-Ohio State Journal

MetaIIlzed Wood.

The following process, invented by Mir. Rubennick, for metallizing wood, is thus described by Les Mondes: s'The wood is first immersed for three or four days, according to its permeability, in 3 caustie alkaline lye (calcareous soda, at temperature of from 75 to 90 de. grees. Thence it passes immediately into a bath of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which is added, after 24 or 36 hours, a concentrated solution of sulphur in eaustio potash. The duration of this bath is about IS hours, and its tempera. ture is from 35 to 50 degrees Finally the wood is immersed for 30 or 50 hours in a hot solution (55 to 90 degrees) of acetate of lead. The process, as may be seen, is q long one, but the results are surprising. The wood thus prepared, after having undergone proper drying at a moderate temperature, acquires un- der burnisher of hard wood a polished surface and assumes a very brilliant metallic luster. This luster is still fur. ther increased if the surface of the wood be first rubbed with piece of lead, tin or zinc and be afterward polished with a glass or porcelain burnisher. The wood thus assumes the appearance of a true metallic mirror and is very solid and resistant. t.-Invention.

A NUMBER of our State exchanges presenta thrifty appearance this week by the publication of their county's delinquent tax list. The absence of any public or county printing in the GRAPHIC for the past year or more, notwithstanding it was the only newspaper to help land the straight ticket officers into office, can be accounted for only on the grounds that its editor seems tU be persona non 9rata at the court house. The GRAPHIC has convictions and. dares to maintain them, condition intolerable to the average office holder.

the navy wrote to the secretary of war that
by the 18th the naval convoys from Samp-
sons fleet would be ready to start, without
regard to the Spanish ships and in sending
this dispatch to Gen. Miles at Tampa, AGjt
Gen. Corbin, by order of the secretary, di-
rected that Miles transmit It to Shafter. On
the 18th the adjutant general communicated
directly with Major Gen. Shafter, suggest
Ing that the army transports leave Tampa
i'about is hours before the Key West division
of the convoy reached Rebecca shoal. Sew
eal kilograms on this subject were exchanged
directly between the war department and
Shafter, and not until tie 18th of June is
anything printed as coming from Miles,
when he reported that the steamers were
moving out to sea. This telegram is signed
by Miles, major general, instead of Miles,
commanding, as in the case of some of the
preceding kilograms. There seems to have
been lack of uniformity, however, in the
method of addressing and signing this whole
| series of dispatches.
Dispatches of June 18th are given, sum-
moning Miles to Washington, after Shafter
had sailed. A note states that the object
was to have the major general commanding
outfit an expedition for Porto Rico.
SHAFTER'S LANDING
| Following these are some kilograms an.
nouncing the further movements of the
transports and the landing of the Shafter
expedition. The secretary includes Ill his
report the plan of campaign in written form
submitted by Gen. Miles on June oath, and
already published as part of the latter's re-
port. This, in substance, was to proceed,
after the capture of Santiago, to capture

of War, Washington, d. c.: Think it would
be well to announce that the army got on
board transports and started, as they did
yesterday. Say nothing about its being re-
called, but let our naval vessels go over the
course that our transports would have gore
over, with the hope of finding those Spanish
ships. Does not the presence of Spanish
war vessels i'll Cuban waters render it ex-
tremely hazardous to send troops on trans
ports until they are captured, destroyed or
driven away! And under the circumstances
is it expected that l shall organize expedi-
tion No. 2? Arrangements had been partly
made before the presence of the Spanish
ships were announced. MILES,
'Major General, Commanding"
PLANS NOT CHANGED
"War Department, June 9, lS9S.-Major
Gen. Miles, Tampa, Fla: The president di-
rccts me to say that no change of plans will
be made; that the expedition No 2 must be
organized as rapidly as possible. We are
looking for transports and are satisfied that
the navy will take care Of that problem Give
nothing out r. 4. ALGER,
Secretary Of War"
Tampa, Fla, June 8, 2:45 p. m.-Secretary
of War; Washington: 1t seems that it is a
naval problem yet unsolved, and it might
be advisable for the command now on board
transports to have the protection of the
entire navy to convoy it to No. /, No. or
NIevitas, or, if this is considered hazardous,
then keep the troops in healthful camps, as
they are now, and assist the navy to destroy
the Spanish fleet There are here 25 good
steamers that could be used to carry water,
coal and supplies, guns, revolving cannon
and mortars, ETC., and they could be added
to the force of the navy. 1t seems strange
to be suggesting that the army assist the
navy in this way, but | am sure we would
receive most loyal support when the waters
are safe for crossing with the army.

rated at $4,000 passengers in capacity, even
the 10000 persons transported was larger
number than should have been carried. For
tunately they arrived without serious acci-
dent, however.
SHAFTER'S FIRST DUTY
The first duty for which General Shafter
was selected, viz: to make reconnaissance i'll
force about 5000 strong on the south side of
Cuba, Secretary Alger says, was abandoned
on account of the movements of the enemy's
fleet.
Says the secretary:
Major General Shafter was selected to
command the expedition to Santiago"
Next in order the secretary quotes his mes
sage of May 3D., sent at 2:30 o'clock at night
to General Shafter at Tampa, directing him
to start for Santiago to land east or west OF
that point, in his own judgment, and move
on to the high grounds in such position as
TO destroy the garrison there and cover the
navy as it sends its men in small boats to
remove torpedoes or, with. the aid OF the
navy, capture or destroy the Spanish fleet
reported to be in the harbor Genera Shat
ter was to accomplish this with the least
possible delay, making use Of the insurgents,
put being careful not to put too much conf
dence III any persons outside of his own
troops.
DEPARTURE FROM TAMPA
The report states that on May Goth Gen
eral Miles left for Tampa to assist in the
ombarkation of troops. June 4th the secre
tary telegraphed Shafter at Tampa that
Sampson reported Cervera safely bottled in
Santiago harbor, and urged immediate aid
from his troops. Sampson reported 1850
Spanish troops as the garrison of the VI.
cinity. The following day dispatch was
received from Shafter at Tampa explaining
the delays in the embarkation of the troops
as not preventable. The main cause of DELAY
Is said to be that great quantities of stores
were rushed in promiscuously, with no facil-
ities to handle or store them. The railroad
for ten miles back from the wharf was
single track and a narrow place in which
