"Any oi c1 who will visit-the pub

EDITORIAL NOTES, ON
BOOKS AND A UTHORS.
Tennyson's new Poem was partly
written when he was nineteen years
old. The "fourth . part" or conclu
sion is a work of his matnre life.
Critics say he wrote at nineteen
pretty much as he writes now, and
that there 'is no more powerful aud
passionate love "story in verse than
this. He is said to nave received
fifteen hundred dollars for! the five
hundred lines which compose the
Poem.
The first edition .of "George Eli
otV' new book Theophrastus buch"
was sold before Its publication. One
circulating library; ordereoVSOO cop
ies. It creates a deep interest as
being reported to be " the last book
he will ever write. The London
limed says : "It is emphatically a
work ot genius the Iruit of deep
thought, and rie experience writ
ten with a' pregnant force of ; concen
trated expression,' and with a most
discriminating precision of eloquent
lanniare." It is a collectioiL of es
savs,: short and self-contained, the
quintessence of wit a well as of
wisdom and supposed to be a piece
of "psychological autobiography ,v
The Times thinks it is not likely to
be popular in the ordinary accepta
tion ot the word. It requires some
mental effort in the reader.
Prince Albert deliizjited in no
books more than in the earlier,
f resher works of George Eliot. The
sayings of many of her characters
vere;of;en on his lips. ,
The poet Longfellow writes to a
boys' and girls1 school a friendly sal
utation and icplying to a query as
to 4'how he can write so njany
things that sound as if he were
happy as a boy," says t' at he hopes
he is like- Gov. Endicott's old pear
tree that was pfanted -00 years ago,
and still bears "$uit. '
Theophrasius' Such 'speaking of
capriciously tempered people says :
"It is essential. in. what is worthy to
be called high character that it may
be safely calculated ubon."
Queen Victoria has conferred the
honor of Knighthood upon Henry
Bessemer whose name js inseparably
associated with the development ot
I the steel industry in England and
other epuntries. lie has already re
ceived many other honors from va
rious sources throughout the civil
ized world, and besides, has royal
ties on his inventions w'hich have
brought him more than a million
,pounds sterling. He is an inventor
by inheritance, "not alibis inventions
proving prosperous. The .great dis
covery of the means of rapidly and
cheaply converting pig iron into
steel, .by blowing a blast of air
through the iron when in a state of
fusion was the result of ten year's
labor and experiment, during which
his failures were many and, disheart
ening. ''The substitution of Bes-
senior slt.el for iron in rails will pro
duce a saving of expenditure during
the life of one set of steel rails' on
all the existing' lines in Great Brit
aiiij of a sum of more than one hun
dred and seventy millions sterling."
There is no other' instance in history
of such an' impulse given to manu
facture by the brain work of a single
individual.
The sister ot Keats, the poet, is
living in Madrid in old age and pov
erty. A fund. for her iclief is being
raised in England.
Dr. McCosh stated at the recent
Commencement of Princeton Col
lege that the College did not owe a
cent, and was under bonds never to
contract another debt.
We have received a copy ot
"Pests of the Press" an address de
livered last year to the Press Asso
ciation by Dossey Battle, of the Tar
boro Southerner. We herebv ex
i.ress our thanks. Have read it
"clean through" as the children say,
and .can imagine it was thoroughly
appreciated and well received at the
time of it's delivery.
jWe have been diligently reading
