Tennyson, Artisticaliy Fastidioue, Was
n Personal Siover.
There Is a sort Of idea in the public
mind that the poet is what scientists
call fixed genius. that every poet
Is the exact counterpart Of every other
poet. There is probably no class OF
men In the world il class it can be
called whose members differ more
widely in personality.
Pope. for instance, was q miser.
Dryden, Sedley, Rochester and Shelley
seemed to have no use for money and
'ssplashed it about In the most insane
fashion. Shakespeare was d keen man
Of business. His contemporaries, Mar
lowe and Massinger, did not leave
enough to have their bodies decently
buried.
Coming down to modern times. Ten
nyson was artistically the most deli
cate and fastidious Of men. A mis-
placed comma, an epithet which was
not the perfection OF expression, give
him nights Of insomnia
U Yet he was perhaps the most utterly
careless man OF his generation regard
ing his personal appearance Had he
not been carefully watched by his de-
voted wife, he would have been quite
content to wear suit Of clothes Until
It dropped OF him BIT BY bit in obedi-
ence to the law OF gravitafion.

There is a structure which every
graduate from school is building A.,
young and old, rich and poor, each one
for himself. 1t is called character,
and every act Of your lives is a stone
for this structure. II day by day you
are careful to build your lives with
pure, upright deeds, at the end you
will stand a fair temple. honored by
God and man. But as one leak will
sink a ship, and n flaw break a chain,
so one mean, diShonorable act or word
will forever leave It's impress and
work its influence on your character.
Then let the several deeds unite to
form a day and one by one the days
grow into noble years, and the years
as they slowly pass will raise at last
a beautiful edifce, enduring forever
to your praise, and you will cherish
with the utmost tenderness the
memories of your school life. The
old school house, the familiar walks
about the place, the desk upon which
you wrote lyour name, all indelibly
stored away in memory never to be
forgotten.

1t is almost Ikea fairy tale to read
Of the crew Of an ocean vessel being
Shipwrecked and left to their fate on
a lonely island in these days. but
such was the fortune of the crew of the
DGndOnald which sailed from Sydney
Australia last February. The vessel
was not heard of after it's departure
from Sydney until a few days ago
when the remnant of its crew was
found on one of the South Sea islands
where they had been for nine long
months. A number of them had
persisted and only the most vigorous
remained alive. They were cOmpell-
ed to subSiSt largely upon fish. 1t is
not generally thought that any island
of the sea is so far removed from the
channels Of commerce that it should
go unSighted by any ship for nine
months. The perils of travel on the
sea have not all been removed.

The Speakership Contest.

The contest for the SpeakerShlp OF
the next house of the Mississippi leglS-
lature has those who are laying plans,
as to the doings of that body, up a
tree. Two gentlemen claim to have a
cinch on it but in our Judgment neither
one of them is able to carroll enough
votes Ia make the landing and we
thinL il would be a happy day for the
people of the state if neither Street
nor Quin we're elected. The people by
their ballots for the two leading can
didate for Governor last summer re-
gistered an unmistakable verdict
against corporation control or influence
in politics. Col. Street not only re-
fused to support Bryan IN 1896, but
there are few men in the state that
have been more prominently identified
with the money power and corpora
tion influences than he. He can not
get away from his past environments,
and, should he be speaker, it would
be but natural for him to appoint
men who lean to the corporations on
the House committees and thereby
Strangle legislation designed to bene-
fit the masses. Quin is a clever good
fellow without a Super-abundance OF
gray ma tt or even a place to carry
it. But for the fact that he has been
a man who has had nothing specially
to do and consequently able to devote
much time to the official business OF
one of the prominent fraternal orders
of the state, he would today be almost
wrapped in as much obScurity as a
Niger baby born in Senegambia'
We cannot agree with the Lexington
Advertiser that Gov. Noel should bt
allowed to name the speaker. Ger
tainly Quin only exercised the inalien
able right Of American citizen in vot
ing for another candidate for Cover
nor, and The fight that the Aover
tiser, which is supposed to represent
the views of the Gov-elect, is making
against Quin, should strengthen rathel
than weaken him. Quin is an limo
Gent sort of character and would per
haps do no harm as speaker. Ger
tainly the Advertiser docs not mean
by it's opposition to Quin that is ad'
yocating Street (?) Between Street
and Quin as probable speakers, the
interests of the people are in danger
of being burned on the n side AND
drowned on the other.
