NAL Exhibition from the West, and a prom
inent railroad official who has just returned
from visit TO number of large western
cities is OF the opinion that il one-third of
the people visit the Centennial whO are ex-

I'm paragraphing Walt whltman the PhIl.


adelphia Times falls into several errors. "On
Friday afternoon" says the Tines referring
TO the time when he was a resident OF Wash
ington, "he always attended the Marine band
matinees on Capitol Hill, Invariably being
the first there and the last TO leave, and sit
ting throughout as IL in 1T OF abstraction
and the bloods of the capital WED with each
other for a chance TO walk by his ST de-" The
GOOD Gray Poet" never sat on such occa-
siODs "as If in ut of abstraction" DE was
never moody or distracted, bat took a keen
interest In these concerts an interest which
heevidenced by Joining in the moving throng
ABOUT the music stand, promenading, and
watching the gaily dressed children as they
romped on the grass. lie never was known
TO attend a theater, or other place OF indoor
amusement" says the Times. Wrong again
Mr.. Whitman was and is fond OF music, and
was frequently seen In our theaters during
an opera season. He was also TO be seen
there when any extraordinary fests of agil-
ity or strength were to be performed, and no
one excelled him In admiration for them.
The Times is also incorrect in saying that
"at about this time his volume, Leaves of
Grass was published" The first edition of
Leaves OF Grass" was printed In Brooklyn
f. 1870, more than fifteen years before. The
Tines Is correct when il says that she was a
man 81 extraordinary PHYSIQUE ana was very
proud Of his strength, and whatever else
OF worldly profit or honor may have taken
flight from the old poets storehOuse, his
cOuTtly bearing, magnificent frame and dis
tiEguished appearance are still left to him.
He is still young enough, however, to add to
his fame by the welding ef his pen; but to
the respect and good will that is felt for him
by his companions ii would be hard for him
to add. He is young in his old age and char
liable in bis poverty, and nowhere can the
mantle of comfort for declining years fall
more deservCdly than over the shoulders of
Walt Whitman.
