A NOTABLE death is that OF
William Cullen Bryant, the poet
journalist. This venerable and
illustrious man has assisted at the
unveiling of one statue too many.
The last time we saw Bryant was
on the occasion of the unveiling of
} the statue of Shakespeare. in Cen
trail Park, New York City, in the
spring of 1872. Then, as now, he
sat, with barred head, for a long
time in the open air, under the
garish sun; but his age was less
by six years then than now,
which, with men OF advanced
years, makes great difference.
With no Encyclopedia or other
data at hand to assist us, we
should judge that Mr.. Bryant was
upwards Of eighty years of age.
On the occasion we speak of, Mr..
Stebbins did the official part of the
unveiling, Mr.. Bryant made few
remarks on the part of the city,
accepting the statue, and Edwin
Booth read the poem. Mr.. Bryant
was at that time, as at all times, q
striking figure. He was tall and
thin, with mass OF white locks
and white eyebrows so large and
beetling as to distract ones atten-
tion from the commaudin G
height of his forehead. Els
voice WAS even then feeble; and,
though but a few feet from him
we failed to catch his words.
The deceased poet and journalist,
at eighteen years of age, wrote
"Thanatopsis," one of the most
admired of American poems. He
has written copiously since, both
of poetry and prose. Far years
past he has been the editor Of the
New York Evening Post, and his
laurels as the conductor of a daily
Journal have been as conspicuous
as his poets bays. In politics Mr..
Bry ant was Republican, but he
was partizan utterly devoid of
party bigotry. He was q
graceful, learned and valuable
contributor to the daily press.
He was q schol of extensive and
varied requirements, and lin.
guist of no mean pretensions both
in the dead and living languages.
One of his latest achievements was
q metrical translation of Homer,
which has won for him extended
commendation from the learned
world. eclipsing the performance
ofthe late Earl of Derby. whose
premiership of Great Britain never
caused him to relax in his scholas-
tic pursuits. There are few Amer
leans whose death would leave q
wider chasm in the world Of journ-
alism, literature or scholarship
than that of Mr.. Bryant. He was
one Of the few men of resplendent
talents whose virtues were quite oD
a par with his abilities. The biog-
raphers of the dead poet will not
be under the necessity of practis-
ing any concealments in telling
the story of his life. Self-respect
and high ideals consecrated every
hour of his career.

THE telegraph advises US that
Stanley Matthews, interregnum
Senator of the United States from
Ohio, has declined to appear be-
fore the Potter Inve stigating Com
mittee because he is sensible that
he has made a fool of himself in
connection with Anderson, and is
ashamed of the fact. Very good.
We can think of nothing more
laughable than the ill-timed inso.
lence and the equally ill-timed
modesty of Republican pseudo
statesmen. After feloniously using
a lot of stool-pigeon Republicans
of the South, and after counting
out rightfully elected President
on the strength of these wretches,
this unique party undertakes to
repudlate its tools. The Republi-
can leaders should remember that
the people appreciate the homely
old maxim that "birds of feather
flock together" The pharisees oil
the God and morality party cannot
be permitted to blow hot and cold
In this fashion. If these wretches
were good enough, by a self-con-
fessed perjury and fraud, to make G

are good enough, when the
moment of confession aud repent.

shame the devil, even though
Stanley Matthews and his dearly
beloved Rutherford Z. Hayes
should suffer accordingly.
