A Venerable Statesman.

The letter of the venerable Havemeyer is so
full of "reminiscences that we are naturally i'm
PEELED to ask the age of the old man. We had
long ago suspected that he was no longer
young, though he is still as frisky and playful
as Joe Bagstock, but We were not prepared to
consider him as old as he seems to be. If we
are to judge him from the data which his let
ter to John Kelly affords he was contemporary
with everybody. Governor Dix is mere lad
compared with Havemeyer. Dean Richmond
lived and died, and Havemeyer remembers his
political influence as only one little incident
in public affairs. One Tammany dynasty has
followed another, but Havemeyer appears to
have seen them all He is older than Tam
many itself-much older. Jefferson and he
founded the democratic party. Madison and
he ruled it as boys tgether jackson and he
revivifed 1t when they removed the deposits
from the United Staes Bank. Polk and he
settled our little boundary disputes with Mex
leo. Lincoln and he conquered the re-
bellion. We are not more certain that he did
not help to write WShington's Farewell Ad-
dress than we are sur he wrote the letter to
John Kelly. If the people he recalls could
be recalled to life agan they would indeed be
astonished to find hin alive still. How long
he has been in the world nobody can tell, for
there is no contemporary evidence to prove it.
He is old enough to te myth, and some of
these days somebody will be trying to prove
that he never existel at ALL We begin to
doubt it already Ole Parr was youth COM
pared to Havemeyer, and since Havemeyer
shows such remarkable vigor we should like
TO know how old he b, anyhow. Is he not
the oldest inhabitant?
