1ennyaon and Lowell.

Mrs. Procter, the wife of Barry Corn wall, was a great figure in London lit- erary society when MT. Lowell was United States minister at the court of St. James. Mrs. Procter was most anxious to bring Tennyson and Mr. Lowell together. Tennyson, who was whimsical in his prejudices. made va rious excuses and affected to believe that MT. Lowell was poet of little importance and an after dinner orator whose graces of style were overrated. One day Mrs. Procter told Mir. Ten nyson that MT. Lowell had written some lines on her birthday and that she must insist upon reading them to him. The English poet looked at her askance and submitted with bad grace. Mrs. Procter did not go further than the opening line, q know girl-they say she's eighty" Tennyson scowled and sprang to his feet with gesture of impatience. "Too familiarw be growled out in high disdain and re fused to listen to the remaining lines. Mrs. Procter persevered in her efforts to bring the two poets together, and they finally met and became intimate friends. MT. Tennyson was a man of many caprices and had touch of shy ness and cold reserve which made him unwilling to meet a stranger.

 The democratic candidate arose at 6 a. m. and thought he would have ample time to get to Jersey City and board the Erie train leaving>there at 7:10 o'clock.

The day promises to be . busy one for MT Bryan. His pro- gramme provides for an address be- fore the Woman's Democratic club in this city and speeches at Yonkers.
