A Sketch of His Lon? and Brilliant
Literary Life.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, is dead. Th? PoiS
Lau'-e jte of En^lani passed away quietly in
his home at Haslemere, where he had been
lying at the point of death for three weeks.
On the last night tha household at Aid worth,
his country seat, remained ur> watching
of. tha hoHqitin and waitine for
his death. Sir Andrew Clark, Dr. Dabbs,
Lady Tennysou, Hrtllatn Tennyson and an
old family servant were in the sick chamber
at the fatal moment. His death was painless,
and he retained consciousness until the
encJ.
Sketch ot His Career.
Alfred Tennyson, the first B von Tennvsod.
was born August C. 1809. at the
rectory of Somorsbv, a quiet village
of Lincolnshire, Enrlanri. He was
the fourth of twelve children,
eight sons and four daughters. His ancestry
is described as a good one, and industrious
genealogists have traced his lineage back
through many noble names to King Edward
I.
H is father, the Rev. Dr. Georgo Clayton
< Tennyson, was then the rector of Somersoy.
He married Elizabeth, daughter of the
Rev. Stephen Fiytctie, vicar of Louth.
From his father Alfred received his early
* education, including an intimacy with outof-door
nature, and practice in verse-making.
Later he was 6ent with his elder brother
eharlas to a grammar school at Louth.
In 1829 Alfred entered Trinity ^OllejjQ
Cambridge, where his tutor was Whewell,
>?^d his comrades included Thackeray,
Milnes (Lord Houghton), Spedding, Trench,
Alford, Kemble and Kinglabe. He took
the Chancellor's prize there (1829) for a
poem on a given subject?"Timbuctoo" i
?and he seems to have been looked
upon by all who knew him as a scholar of
ratv promise: but he did not graduate, and
for a number of yaars after leaving the
University he led an extremely quiet and
meditative life, avoiding society, but enjoy '
nf a fow intimate

friends, among whom Arthur Hallam, the
son of the historian, was the dearest and
the most brilliant.
Before he left the University he published
his first avowed volume, a little collection
of '"Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" (London 1830).
After tbe publication of bis second volume
(183'J) Tennyson remained silent for ten
years.
"The Princess," his first long poem, appeared
in 1847. In the year of the publication
of "In Memoriam" (1850) Tennyson
received, with universal approval, tbe appointment
of Poet Laureate, in succwsion to
"Wordsworth. Five years later he gave us
"Maud," which was more vehemently discussed
than any of his previous productions.
'
Tiie pef-aonality of Tennyson is unknown
to the general public, he having, with increased
care and energy as age advanced,
shut himself up in the privacy of bis house
and grounds.
Lord Tennyson at one time made a practice
of running up to London at least once
a year, and roaming about, as far as possible
unrecognized, but no one could pass him
by without turning to look at one ot tbe
strangest figures that ever trod the streets
of modern London. A tall, round-shoul
dered man, growing stout in these later
years, he always walked with a stick, and
gave the impression that he was not entirely
free from gout. A. long beard
covered his face, and he looked out through
a pair of large spectaoles upon a world
which, on the whole, he was rathor inclined
to despise. In supplement of his spectacles
there dangled across the somewhat
shabby-looking tweed dustcoat a pair of (
gold-rimmed pince-nez. The tweed dust- I
coat, in color a musty red, was evidently an f
acquaintance of many years, and had now
grown too tight for him across the chest,
over which it was, neversuemss, ?
minedly buttoned. Dark trousers, with
gaiters over his thickened boots, and a
broad briaimed felt hat. probably older by
some years than the tweed dustcoat, com
pleted the dress of the Poet Laureate when
last he was seen strudily plodding across
Regent's Park.
In 1884 Tennyson was create! Baron Tennyson
in the peerage of the United Kingdom.
He was Poet Laureate until his
death and an Honorary Fellow of Trinity
College, Cambridge. He recjived the degree
of D. C. L. from Oxford in 1855 and
was patron of the living of Grasby Vicarage,
Lincolnshire, of which his brother
Charles was curate from 1835 until his death
in 1879. In 1850 he married Emily, daughter
of Henry Sellwood, Esq. Lird Tennyson
had two children? 9allam and Lionel. Hal
lam was born on August 11, 1832, and
was educated at Marlborough College
and at Trinitv College, Cambridge.
He married, in 188 J, Audrey Georgians
Florence, daughter of Charles "John Boyle,
and granddaughter of the Vice-Admiral
Courtenay Boyle, third son of the
seventh Earl of Cork. She was then
thirty years old. They have no children.
Lionel was born in 1854 and was edu'
ited at Eton and at Trinitv College, Cambridge.
On February 28, 1878, he married
Kleanor Mary Bertha, only child of
1 'rwlpriek lacker, the DOet. and tlis first
wife, Lady Charlotte* Christian Bruce,
laughter of the seventh Earl of Elgin, who is
tamous as an ambassador and for his collection
of marbles. Lionel served some
time in the India Office and died in India on
April 30, 18S6, leaving three sons?Alfred
Browning Stanley, barn 1S7S; Charles
Brace 1/scker, born 1879, ?inct Michael
Sell wood, born 1SS3.
CKESPO WINS.
He Defeats the Venezuelan Government
Forces at Los Teques.
IX rauiegram iiuiu ua uuayta, ? cuctucia,
says A desperate battle has juat taken
place at Los Teque.-, a small town on the
railroad line to Valencia, at a c'istance about
equal between that place and Caracas.
Six hundred were killed and many high
Government officials captured. Crespo has
struck another decisive blow, which, following:
UDon his previous successes since the revolution
began in last March, means victory
for the Crespitas.
Caracas was more than ever excited, for
at a distance of but ten miles from its city
limits, Crespo had signally defeated the
Government forces. Crespo announced hia
determination to enter the capital next
day.
From details received the light was a
most bloody one, 60") me a being left deatl on
tbe field of battle. Considering the sizs of
the contending armies, this indicates serious
fighting on botti sides. But stubborn us was
the resistance of the Government levies,
they had to fly before the Crespitas and were
utterly routed.
Crespo had at hi? disposal some 14,000
men, including 6000 brought to him by
General Colino. who joined him some days
ago at Valencia.
Under Crespo were Generals Vegas and
Quintana, who started, so ne days ago, by
different roads, on the way to Caracas,
their objective point.
The revolutionist general nossessed twelve
pieces of artillery and hal the assistanca of
several Americans, besides that of General
Widener, a German, and General Betalli, an
Italian.
General Pulido, au uncle of the acting
President, was in command of the Government
forces, numbering 6000. and went to
Los Teques, to take up a position in order to
rep9l Cresno's advance on the caoital, which
was thus denuded ol' troops. This defeat
robs Acting President Viilagas Pulido of his
army.

EETUBN POSTAL CARDS.
Designs Approved lor the Domestic
and. the international Forms.
I
In a few weeks the new return postal card
will be placed on sale at all postofflces. The
two designs, one for the domestic and the
other for the international postal union service
have been approved by PostmasterGeneral
Wanamaker, and the work of I
orintine and distributing the cards will be |
pusLed"with vigor.
The half of the double card containing the
message to which a reply is desired, is three
and a-half inches wide by five and a-half inches
long. At the top of the card and a little
to the left of the centre are engraved in
three lines, one above the other, the words j
"Postal Card with Paid Reply," "United
States of America," and in smaller type,
"This Side is for Address Only." In the
right hand upper corner is a vignette of
wenerai wane encircieu uy a n ame uearuig
at the top the legend, 'Message Card," and
at the bottom "One Cent." At the lower
left-hand corner are the words, "Detach Annexed
Card for Answer."
The whole is enclosed in a tasteful border.
The face of the return card, in general effect,
is similar to the message card. Instead,
however, of the words "Postal Card With
Paid Reply" at the top of the card, are the
words "Reply Postal Card.'1 Over the vignette
of General Grant the words "Reply
Card" are substituted for "Message Card."
The international card is somewhat smaller
mart cum ior aoamswc use. iu mo uuxner
at the top of the card appears the words
"Postal Card With Paid Reply" and their
French translation "Carte postale avec response
payee." A design at the top of the
ear (J contains the words, 44 Universal Postal
Union" and "United State3 of America"
with their French equivalents. A liberty
head occupies the rigdt hand upper corner
with the legend "Two Cents."
In all other essential particulars the domestic
and the international cards are very
similar. Black ink will be used on both.

The Latest Intelligence by Telegraph
and Cable.
Daring Scheme of Farmers to
Steal 3000 Acres of Land.
A plot of Iowa farmers to steal 3930 acres of
Nebraska land by changing the course of the
stream was revealed a few days ago when the
courts stopped the work. An injunction was
secured and the property owners who were
ibout to be despoiled went in search of the
nieves.
The farmers planned to change the 3003
acres from the Nebraska side by digging
big trenches and directing the river into a
aew channel. If the discovery had not
come a score of lives might have been lose
when the flood-gates were opened.
Although the plotters have been at work
since last June, they conducted their opera
-
tions so secretly none suspeunsu mu io?>
design. Emboldened by success, they became
reckless and attempted to rush the
work through.
The Nebraska land-owners discovered
what was going on and at once took summary
proceedings to check ooerations. At
J.30 in the afternoon Sheriff Whitney, of
Sarpy County, served the restraining order
issued by Judge Scott that put a stop to the
work, and now two great ditches?one 400
teet long and the other 150 feet long, seven
feet deep and five feet wide, with great
mounds of freshly turned earth along either
ride?are the silent witnesses of the big
rteai.

n iles south of Omaha, Only a narrow neck
>t land joins the land within the wind and
the rest of the State.
The farmers ditched across this neck,
mo wing that when the river rushed through
t wou'd destroy all trace of their work and
they would be 3000 acres richer by the law
if accretion.
The contractor digging tus ditch says
Adner, Wrizht and Jenkins are the names
of the men who hired him to do the work,
rhe excitement is great in South Omaha and
Bellevue.
The property involved is worth over $125 900,
and should the perpetrators of the plot
appear in the neighborhood they would be
roughly handled.
The Nebraska authorities are going to demand
of Iowa that the land-grabbers be
jeverely punished.

j LAST OF THE BALTON GANG
The Outlaw Band Extermin
ated While Raiding a Tdwn.
Four Desperadoes and Four Citizens
Were Killed.
A dispatch from Coffey ville, Kau., says
The Dalton gang of outlaws, the most notorious
in the West, was wiped off the fact
of the earth here a few days ago, but in th<
battle which resulted in their exterminatioi
three good citizans were killed and twc
fatally wounded. The desperadoes, who
hRd grown holder as they thought 'thej
were above all law. ann that the officers ol
the countv were powerless against them, attempted
to raid the banks of Coffeyville,
their old home, and met the fate which thej
so well merited. This was their first at
tempt at bank robbery and their last piece
of outlawry.
The six outlaws came into town together
on horseback about 9:33 o'clock, and, leav"

| across the square. Four entered Condon's
Bank and two the First National. At Condon's
Bank the desperadoes were told by
Cashier Ball that the lock would not be open
until 10 o'clock. Holding their Winchesters
on Ball and Teller Carpenter, they said they
would wait, taking, meanwhile, the money
in the drawer.
Bob and Ecnmett Dalton were the two
who took in the First National. Here were
Cashier Ayres, his son Bart, and Teller W.
H. Shepperd. They were forced to give up
all the money in the safe, which was hastily
shoved into bags. The Daltons then forced
the three men out of the front door and folio
we 1 right after them.
The alarm had in the mean time been
given, and as the outlaws appeared George
Cubine, a merchant, and Express Agent
Cox shot one of them, badly wounding him.
The outlaws then returned the fire, killing
Cubine. The robbers In Condon's Bank shot

the bank, when they met Baldwin and
fatally wounded him.
The citizens being thoroughly aroused by
this time, were hot and heavy after them,
and, after a fight in which City Marshall
Connely was killed, succeeded in killing the
four desperadoes named and mortally
wounding Emmett.
Jim Spears, a livery stable keeper, with

seat himself respectfully on

are threo kakemonos (pictures on rollers;,
be must examine first the central one,
then that to the left, and, lastly, the
one on the right hand. He then is supposed
to signify his opinion as to the
exact degree of admiration to be expressed
according to the character of the
spec^nens. In discriminating gush is
not permitted in polite circles. The
respectful inspection over and the proper
things said, the host presents to bis
guest, on a traj, cut flowers and
branches, a knife, scisors, a small saw,
a vase, and a napkin, at the same time
rolling up the kakemonos, "as it is considered
to be demanding too much of
a visitor to expect him to extemporize
a flower arrangement in harmony," but

now TO MARKET.
The first and fundamental principle
of marketing is to pay cash. The panbook
system is one of tho greatest curses
to the laboring man and ought to be
banished from our land. Keep, instead,
a daily expense book, and post up once
every month, and you will know what it
costs to furnish your table every week,
and every meal, too, if you carry ycur
division far enough.
If possible deal with a cash grocer,
aud the one having the largest assort*
ment of goads. You can buy more advantageously
by having a large stock
and different grades from which to
select. Though it is an axiom in eook
book literature that the best is the
cheapest, the careful buyer will often
find intermediate grades in many articles
that answer lully as well as the
higher priced ones. Buy as many things
by the quantity as possible, and beware
of buying potatoes by the half peck, ot
sugar by the quarter's worth. The
small measure goes along with the passbook
and is the grocer's own harvest.?

AN ECONOMICAL TABLE COVER.
By the following method a simple,
cheap table corer for a table or stand
may be quickly made:
A heavy, double-faced canton flannel
is now manufactured in various colon,
having the nap on both sides, and can
be found on sale at nny house furnishing
store. Either this or the single-faced
can be used, but the double-faced is preferable
on account of its extra thickness.
The shade can be selected to match the
furniture. When cut into suitable size
it is bordered with a contrasting shade
of the same material of. any desired
width, and folded so as to leave the fold
for the outside edge, and stitched on. '
To cover the same sew on a strip of velvel
or velveteen, with cross (or feather),
stitch of filoselle or contrasting shade.
Gold is preferable. This comes in all
colors, costs but a trifle, and each thread
can he snlit in two or three strands.

This table cover should not be exposed
to a glaring light, as this material, being
all cotton, will not hold color welL Bid
for ordinary use it is durable enough and
quite inexpensive.?Detroit Free Press.

A Yery Peculiar Notion.
Some one has estimated that at least
one-fourth of the world knows nothing
of the use of forks, and fully one-quarter
of the men, women and children in it
gat with their finger. The Egyptians
ind Turks pride themselves on their
cleanliness in the use of their fingers
rather than forks, and give a very ingenious
excuse for the practice. Fcrks,
:hey say, have been in some other man's
nouth, and you have to depend upon
four servants for their cleaning. These
people wash their hands before sitting
iown to table or squatting arouna tae
neal on the floor, and they take up the
norsels of food with thin pieces of bread,,
rolling it around such food or sopping it
in the soup. They use their bands in
tiding in the carving and tear rather
;hau cut their roasted fowls.
