Tho Aged Olorlllur of America HnuU (Irrrtlnff to "tlm Hoys" Tho Hurroimd liilt of Hie Mnn Who llni Worked mul Hufforeil Much. (Copyright, 1B0O, by American l'rww AMuclnllon.) "(live my rcgnrds to nil tho lwys In New York city, nml don's forget It." This remark, uttered In full rich tones, wiih nccompnuiod liy a hearty hnud clasp, Who was tho iH'rnoii to volco this cheery fn rowel If It win not n prosperous luurchnut, self kKtillIclunt In tho prldo of success, or it gay young rellow aiHiut town nt nonce with nil tho world bccntisa of luhuritcd millions, hut n poot lyclnd old man chained hyuii niHo to his chnlr In n dingy room, sur rounded with no luxuries und few com forts an nuclciitsngo with kindly counto imncc, lxmlKimnt eyo nml n heart still full of hopo nml lovo of humanity, dooplto tho buffets, tho dlnnppntutmuuU nml tho hop niWH of threo score years.

It is not given to mnuy men to preserve through unvnrylngtoasonsof popular mis apprehension the optltnlatla temperament nml faith in his kind that characterize Wnlt hitman. Unduly abused by tho ninny, extravagantly praised by tho few, ho has neither drawn tighter his clonk to protect him from tho ntoriu, nor cant it imldo be causu of tho noonday nun's fierce hent, but has wnlkcd forwnrd undUmnycd along his nppolutod course, p raining humnnity, glori fying America, confident in tho future of his race. Aa a result ho has two constant friends. They nro: A woman nnd a dog. I hopo nover again to oxperlouco such n shock ns I did tho other nfternoon on reach ing 8123 Micklo street, Camden, N. J. I had read of Wnlt Whitman's "comfortnblo but modest homo" nnd was unprepared for tho reality. Only on tho testimony of two wit nesses a passer by and tho door plate could I bring myself to beliovo that this was tho house of tho "Rood gray poet." It needs paint on its weather ijeaten Ixuirds; it needs now blinds nt tho dingy windows; but more than nil it needs condemnation and destruction at tho hands of the, city authorities. Tho door was opened in re sponse to my ring by n gentlo faced, wist ful eyed, cldorly woman. "Please step Into tho parlor," she said, "while I take your card to Mr. Whitman. Ills health Is very precarious now." A spotted coach dog sullied suspiciously almut me. "Don't mind Homer," bIio added; "he's harmless, and Mr. Whitman's favorite companion. Why? Dccauso ho doesn't bother him with silly questions, I think." Homer nnd I cntcrod the parlor, and tho woman went to the poct'a room. Whnt a scrupulously neat but utterly cheerless placo that arlorisl A mantel crowded with photographs and testimonials; u floor nearly bare; a bust of herolo sizo in tho cor ner, nnd not n bit of furniture worth n place In a cheap auction room. A picture of 11 noted English actor bore tho inscrip tion, "I plnco my hnnd in thine Wilson Dnrrett," while tho bare boards under foot seemed to say: "Here lives ono whose hit ter days rcsemblo those of Drlnsloy Sheri dan, Now tho world rushes by uuhccdlng. To-morrow, when ho is dead, it will bury him with all tho honors." "Mr. Whltmnn will see you forn few minutes." THE I-OET'8 HOME IN CASIDKS. In retponso to thoiinuouucement IcllimV ed 11 narrow stairway to an upper room. For nn Instant tho Presence within dom inated everything. I beheld nothing save tho man with tho leonine head, tented in a great cisy chair nnd tendering me courteous welcome. I went directly to ono object of my mission nml told him that au admirer was anxious to furulsh him easy employ ment of n congenial nature. Tho fine pink skin Hushed, tho eloquent gray-blue eyes lost a little of their luster. "Tell Mr. , lie sold, "thnt Walt Whltmnn thanks him. These uro all bail days now, but when they are only half bad I Ilka to scribble yet. This offer means" a paiuw "It moans that I shall bo glad to do tho work If I can." Was there not another meaning, nlso, to that broken scutencof I thought so as I looked at tho great tahlo piled high with books and papers, at tho hard bed and un inviting lounge, nt tho windows through which no waving tree or nodding- flower mllcd welcome to their life long friend, at tho man himself, roynl nnd self respecting, n 'diamond set in dross, but shining with greater brilliance becnuso of tho mean sur roundings. Wo talked of "Leaven of (JmR,"tholxok which secured Whitman's discharge from the Interior department by Secretary liar Ian nml gained him tho friendship of Ten nyson, nnd of tho days when It author nursed tho soldier lxiys. "I nevor married," ho said, "for In placo of a bride nature gin e mo sufferers to cam for and scenes toclotlio with poetry. Here," he continued, chang ing tho subject, "Is my messagu to tho young authors! Kmploy notovll for Its own sake. Moke It a foil for purity." I told him of passages in his writings which I admired nud referred particularly to "My Captain," that eloquent Ininent thnt marks tho martyrdom of Lincoln llko a monument. I quoted: llxult, oh I shore, and ring, oh I hells; Hut I, with mournful trend, Walk tho deck; my captain lies rallen, cold mul dond. "I'm glnd you fancy that," ho said quietly. "I thank you for your appreci ation." Not n wonlof self pnrlsoj notn syllable of self depreciation; a slmplo proud humility In tho iickunwledgmeutof pleasure that bin printed thoughts wcro remembered by n fltrnugtr. I hail outstayed thu moments to which I was pledged to limit my visit, I roso to go, and our hnnds met In friendly farewell. "Stay," he exclaimed, "Do you care for thlsV'aml ho wrote with firm stroke tho following: jfyJ 22. 'aQ Then ho added his message of regard to "tho lxiys In New York," and wo parted, At tho foot of tho stairs stood tho two faithful watchers. Tho dog bounded up tho steps; with tho woman I stopjied to chat a moment. "You did right," sho smiled sadly, "not to bother him with ques tions. Ho is over 70 now, and tho years bring their weight." Outsido tho sun shono, tho birds sang and tho bojfl played. Within tho doors sat tho uncomplaining patriarch who has chanted tho might nnd glory of America, nnd yet strange to suy has gnlnod greater npplnuso nnd moro practical sympathy beyond tho sens than from tho land ho celebrated. Four years ngoou this sldo tho ocean tho humor ous papers wcro publishing Whltmnnesquo poetry and laughing over "barbaric yawps." Simultaneously with their doing so the artlsta nnd literary men of England wcro getting a generous response throughout tho length and breadth of tho Drltish (slea to tho appeal contained in this circular: "Walt Whitman starving. "A man's rnnsoin wanted. Tho victim is in tho hnnds of n relentless enemy, who, if tho ransom bo not speedily paid, will im mediately mako an end of him. Will his follow men put forth a hand to keep ono of tho world's immortals u little longer hero, or will they nllow death to take him ere his tlmor" April VI, 1887, Mr. Whitman lectured nt tho Madison Square theatre, Now York, on Abraham Lincoln. Tho affair was man aged by a number of prominent literary men, nnd tho house was crowded. Yet, in order thnt tho poet might go homo with EJUU in His pocket, Hov. Itobert Collyer ndd ed a handsome sum to tho net proceeds of thu nlTnlr. Wnlt Whltmnn was born March 91, 1810, on Long Island. Despite tho reverses of life he can look down today from tho serene heights of phllosophio solitude und scud tho world a message llko this: Thanks lu old ago thanks eru I go, Kor health, tho midday sun, tho Impalpable air for life, mcro life, For beings, groups, love, deeds, words, books for colors, forms, Kor all tho bravo, strong men devoted, hardy men-nho'vo forward sprang In freedom's help, all years, all lands, For braver, stronger, moro devoted men (a spe cial laurel era I go to life's vrar'a chosen ones, Tho cannoneers of song and thought tho great artilleryman the. foremost lenders, enp tnlnsof tliesoul;) As soldier from au ended war roturu'd as travel er out of myriads, to tho long procession retrospective, Thanks Joyful thanks! a soldier's, traveler's thanks. Fred C. Dayton. Ln (Irlppo a Curo for Insanity. That la grlpira's mysterious influence ox tends beyond tho limits of tho immediate Illness is amply proven by tho develop ments subsequent to tho epidemic of Inst winter. On tho continent of Euroiotho successor to influonxa is In nona, a dlsenso of which tho prominent symptom is nu al most irresistible desire to sleep. Unless this Inclination to somnolency is overcome within three days tho patient has small chance to live. On this sldo of tho Atlantic tho prank played by la grippe are of a still moro singular unturo. Dr. Paine, of the Massachusetts State Hospital for tho In sane, reports that seven lunntlcs nilllcted with influenza on recovering their physical health nlso rcgAlned their renson. "Flvo of tho seven," ho continues, "would never havo been snno if tho epidemic had passed oft without entering the hospital." In con trast to this ho mentions that four patients have been admitted of Into whoso madness Is due to la grippe. A Sign of Prosperity. A recent English publication cites as proof of tho excellence of thu crops in America for tho last two harvests that dur ing the first quarter of 1800 Great Drltaln Imported from tho United States U,C051lvo cattle and 71,401 quarters of beef In excess of the amount received for tho correspond ing period of 1880. Says tho urtlclo reform! to: "A good crop means, of course, nbuti danco of feeding stuff for beasts, and as a result a large number of cattlo are offered to us which otherwise would bo kept at home." How IIu Lost a Ilrldo, Tho sartorial difficulties of a young man in Warsaw are worthy of note. The gal lant Polo was to marry, but tho tailor did not hcnd homo thu wedding suit in tlmo.

Tlio Mnster of thn Chicago Wheat Pit Is n Close HtudiMit nnd n Good Talker. (H-c'lnl Corresiiondenca. Chicago, May L When tho market is nctivo and the wheat pit on tho floor of tho board of trade contains n buzz ing, shouting;, Kcrcnming awnnn of brokers, tho eyes of those most deeply iiitorcntvd nro not so much on tho dial where tlio fluctuations in price uro being constantly registered iih on a rriin and torror inspiring figure stalking about near tho grand Htuircoso. Thin is "Old Ilntch," us hi him been christened by thoso win hn-'o fallen in tho fray. So largo a pcrcuntago of tho population bear tlio K'arn of wounds received in tho wheat pit thnt tho fnino of B. P. Hutch inson ns a financier is obscured by tho notoriety of "Old Hutch." Probably no prominent character in tho west is moro generally misunderstood than ho. Even his enemies hnvo to nc knowledgo thai his most disastrous f orayH on tho market havo invariably boon pro ceded by repented warnings to tho crowd to "stand from under," which, hud they lieen accepted, would hnvo mount safety. Unprejudiced obsorvors can boo plainly enough that what somo of bin rivals no complish by means of trickery, luck and reckless bluffing," this much traduced veteran owes to his extraordinary physi cal vitality, his phenomonal energy and a vigilanco that never relaxes for a moment. A very fow of Mr. Hutchinson's busi ness associates know him as something" moro thiin tho terror of tho wheat mar ket, nnd tlioy thoroughly onjoy his ho cioty. When 'chntigo opens thoy stand aloof, for tho "old man" is carrying in his mind tho operations of a dozen brok ers, who aro reporting constantly how tho battle wages in tho pit. When tho bell taps at tlio close tlio veteran stalks a llttlo way up tho street to his bank, tho Com Exchange. Horo tho loose ends of tho day's business nro picked up and some laconic general orders issued for tho morrow. Toward 4 p. m. a fow con genial spirits will 1k found in tho Century club drinking in tho wisdom thnt falls from tho lips of "Old Hutch." But if any ono oxpects to hear n word nbout how to get monoy out of wheat, or out of anything else for that matter, disap pointment awaits him. It is Thoreau, his favorito philosopher, Margaret Fuller, tlio difnen.iou of tho races, tho theory of evolution, thoootry of Browning, Tennyson, Dante, Slmko Biwaro, evolution, religion, art, music, medicino tho whole rango of subjects which apiieal to tho intclligonco of en lightened humnnity Bupply toxts for tho dlscourso of this wonderful man. His grammar is often faulty, and liis pronun ciation occasionally somothing to smilo nt. Ho sees tlio Binilo and affably ox plains how ho never went to school n day in his lifo. But ho has n nigged eloquonco that nover fails to impress tlioso who listen. Thoy know that this man, who is mnster of trndo nnd financo, has read moro books than tho professors, and road them bettor; thnt ho knows pictures nnd pootry hotter than tho pain ters and tho poets; that ho hits looked deep into tho lives of tho mon and women of history nnd found in them moro than their biographers dreamed of. Often tho old man holds forth on theso matters, over an occasional glass of beer and checso sandwich, until within nn hour of dawn. Then his Httlo audienco crawls off to bed. But bed is not in tho thoughts of "Old Hutch." Ho gives his big form n shake, nnd, going to thoofllco of his favorito nowspaper, buya tho first sheet wot from tho press, lionrds a horso car and is at tho stock yards by sunrise. Usually a day thus begun makes history in tho wheat pit. C. D. Tho Apache's Nemesis. Flaostafk, A. T., April 23. Old man Prior's long hunt on tho Apacho trail is ended. His body was found recently by two prospectors on tho Colorado Cliiqui to, near Bill Williams mountain. But no Indian had rubbed him out; ho had perished of exposure, having becomo too old to enduro tho privations of his lonely scouts in tho mountains. Many years ago old man Prior had a wifo and two chil dren und a ranch in Arizona. Ono day ho returned from a 6carch for somo lost cattlo to find tho mangled bodies of his wifo nnd children lying besido tho smok ing ruins of his cabin. A band of Apaches hud passed that way. Old man Prior didn't say much, but ho rodo. into tho nearest town, bought a lot of cartridges and rodo away into tho mountains. From that day old man Prior was Been in tho towns and mining camps of Arizona only when ho was out of grub and ammunition. Ho would ask for a job at any kind of work, and would work hard for a week or two. Then ho would spend overy cent of his wages for cartridges and provisions and disappear. In did man Prior's oyes overy Apacho was a hostilo, on tho reservation or off, nnd ho adopted tho Anncho's own stylo of warfare bushwlmcked 'em whon ho caught 'em out alono. Many an Apacho, on good terms with tho government and drawing rations between raids, tumbled off his horso in somo lonely canyon with ono of old man Prior's bullots through Ids head. Old man Prior novor talked about his hunts, nor much about any thing olso. Ho took no scalps, and there wero no tolltalo notches cut in tho stock of liis riflo, but tho old timers, who ro lncmborcd tho murder of his family, know very woll what sort of giuno he hunted, and not ono of them would givo him away to tho authorities. Settlers, who had suffered thomsolves from Apacho raids, often fitted out old winn .Prior without asking any questions or demanding any work from him in re turn. Thoy would fill up his cartridge bolt, givo him a supply of beans, flour, salt, sugar ami tea and say: "Good luck, old maul" as ho rodo away. How many Apaches ho wiped out no man knows. Ho hnd been growing feeblo for somo timo and was unfit for tho rough, hard lifo he led, but ho hud only ono purposo in life, and ho stuck to it to tho cud and died on tho Apncho's trail. A. K.
