TIMELY TOPICS.

MEN will grow old. The most eminent
and renowned must feel the weight of years,
become dull in their activities, pretermit
their accustomed labors, and finally cease
from each. The following sketch of several
of our prominent men, who have been
known to literary fame for nearly or quite a
generation, will be read with interest. They
are reaching life's outer verge, weary but not
| respondent, quietly resting upon their laur-
els, awaiting the inevitable summons of de-
pa rture soon to come: ''Mr. A. Bronson Al
| colt, who is eightysix years of age, has, in a
great measure, recovered from his stroke of
paralysis. He converses clearly on every
point, but is troubled at times when uttering
| long sentences to remember the word he de-
sires to USE He walks short distances and
is able to ride as much as he desires without
fatigue. His work as an author is ended,
but it is remarkable almost beyond precedent
that there should be SO large degree of re-
covery from paralysis at his great age. Mr..
John G.. Whittier is not strong, and he has
been very careful of himself this winter.
have seen reports of his residing i'll Boston,
but the truth is he has not been in the city
since December, when he came to attend the
funeral of his old friend Theodore Weld. He
lives very quietly at Danvers, and is still
writing an occasional poem, though it is
probable that he will not attempt to do much
more literary work, unless he shall receive
an accession of strength with the coming
season. DR.. Holmes is seen less in public
this year than in previous ones, and he writes
not SO often as he had expected would be the
case. DR.. Holmes is not especially burdened
by age, but havipg resigned his Professor
ship, he is more inclined for general mental
rest than ever. The only really hard worker
of our sages over seventy years of age is
James Freeman Clarke, who breaches every
Sunday, is frequent attendant on public
and social occasions in every quarter, and he
has just published another book, which has
! for its subject ''The Ideas of the Apostle
Paul" Mr. E. P. Whipple is not seventy
| years of age yet, but he ranks among our
older litterateurs. He, too, lives quietly,
and does much less work than was formerly
his wont. He has completed paper on
| Matthew Arnold, which is soon to appear.
Mrs. Whipple gives receptions which have
literary and social character, and gather
many of our younger as well as older people
of note in her parlor."

In the Chinese quarter in San Francisco,
the manufacture of cheap Heather Gods
goes birskly on. A newspaper reporter ap-
proach one of these idol manufactures; and
here is what he said: ''The rough door was
pushed open and the reporter entered the
room where the jossmaker-for such the
man was-plied his peculiar vocation. Here
were seen unsubstantial idols of all descrip-
lions ranged around the room in promiscu-
uous fashion and with what seemed lack of
reverence on the part of the manufacturer.
Then there was the raw material-gilded and
colored paper, rough framework and other
accessories-strewn about the place, odds
and ends, dirt and disorder being every
where visible. Here is manufactured JOSS,
the great Jupiter of Chinese ldolatry. His
''makey" offered the idol to he reporter, for
S25 but before he left urged the reporter to
take it at ''slxee dollan but the reporter, an
irreverent "outside barbarian" refused to
accept the potent God of Chinese idolatry at
any price.

THE n. Y. Catholic Reuiep, enerjectically
remarks: Now that the American College is
saved, the conclusion OF the argument is
inevitable. The entire propaganda belongs to
ehristendom by no less sacred title than that
which secures to Catholic Americans their
possession in the Via dell' Umilta. If the
robber, face to face with America, drops
without defence that portion in which. we
are directly interested, how can he unblush-
ingly maintained his right to that which be-
longs to weaker powers. unless indeed he adj
mits that might alone makes right. In this
aspect of the case the argument will become
interesting, andw remember a certain I'M
published communication of the Premier of a
foreign protestant power, with large catholic
interests to the effects that ''if the pressure
on the Papacy were increased, the Channel
fleet would be ordered off Civita Vecchia,
within twenty-four hours" Europe is not
yet ready for chaos. 1t has before now re-
stored the Pope to Rome; it has kept him
there, The Quirinal may be vacated before
he leaves the Vatican.

tomary great success in revival work in
England They began their three weeks
campaign in West London at Addison road
March 25th. An overflow meeting was held
the first evening comprised of those who
could not gain admittance on account of the
crowd to the regular place of meeting, and
conversions were obtained from the begin
ming. An effort was made to secure for the
overflow meetings the Church mission, which
is near at hand, but the Bishop stipulated
that the services must be in the hands of
clergymen and that the ritual must be used.
On Sunday afternoon three overflow meet
Jugs were held, and in the evening 500 per
sons went into the inquiry-room. Among
those who were drawn into the inquiry-room
and converted was a son of the Maharaiah
workers. The character of the audiences is
altogether different, from that of those at st.
Pancras and New Cross. Yet, there is a
large element of the working classes present
and to enable such to attend, considerable
vacant space is reserved in front of the plat
form till the last moment, that such coming
in late, may find no difficulty in obtaining
seats. Even on the platform, when work
ing man or woman is seen standing, an
effort is Immediately made to provide seat.
1t is evident, from the repeated references
which Mr.. Moody makes to the working-men,
and his appeals to them during his addresses,
that their presence is great enjoyment to
him and giyeS an inSpiration to MANY Of
his utterances.

John Chiuaunu and HIS ~Joosto y

A crow in brilliant staccato from the brown
paper bag that the Chinese passenger was
carrying in Third avenue elevated car at
Houston street last evening brought up a
brakeman who asked peremptorily: ''What
yer got in there?"
''Loosta,n answered jain, innocently.
'Lemme see him.
''No can. Him only little one"' But
he punched small peep hole in the bag to
allow an inspection of the interior
What cher mean by bringing live stock
aboard this train!' Demanded the brake
man.
''No sabe.''
"What'cher got him in sugar bag for?"
''Spose no put i'm in bag, no let Hop Kee
go through gate"
''Well, yer got to get off with it. Dye
hear!" and the brakeman pulled his hat
over his eyes and returned to the door.
The chicken stuck his head through the
hole in the bag and looked around. The view
pleased him. The bag split, and his red,
speckled breast appeared. The bag slit fur
ther, and he stepped out of his prison. John
dived for him, buthe took wing and knocked
off two high hats. Men struck at the fowl
with canes, women ''shooed'' it, and the
Chinaman chased it.
The train slowed up, and the brakeman
opened the door. He had got his mouth open
to say "Ninth street, when the chicken, in a
dash for outdoors, flew in his face and disap-
peared over the rail into the street.
"Stopee tlain Stopee tlain!'' yelled the
Chinaman, as the train stopped. He ran out
of the door and off on the platform, hurrying
after his bird, and the dazed brakeman vel
led after him: ''D'ye hear me, We heather
You've got to get right off this train with yer

AT DULUTH.

With the remnant of the wreck of the
Manesotiam office, Foster removed to Duluth
and revived his old paper, which he ran for a
short time, secured some property there, sold
it, started mill in Virginia, became divorced
from his first wife, married again, was in an
office in the department at Washington, and
is now somewhere down south, we believe,
editing paper. He had some social quail
tiles, but was a positive, arbitrary character,
which proved more an injury to himself than
others.
Here we are again, harping on 1S49, but
we can't help it; people would come to the
city that year, and we must entertain them,
even if we do exhaust the patience of some
others who want to lump into the '50's.

On April 2, there quietly passed away
from earth, at her home in the city of New
York, Mrs. Elsie Lansing Oakley Hall, a lady
Of great age and marked abilities, born in
1899, and who had known many of the fore
most men and women of the century. She
was ever an earnest worker in the field Of
good, and though sadly crippled by rheumat-
ic govt for years, her great infirmity of body
never impaired her usefulness in this world
or prevented her from the exercise of a wide
Christian influence beyond her chair. She
was familiar with the religious press of the
country, and took an active interest in for
eign politics and home affairs up to the last
few days Of her life. Her home was with
her son, Mr.. Oakley Hall, and his family, and
her summers were passed for twenty years
in beautiful region of English quiet and of
peace, on one of the Orange mountains, She
was conscious up to two hours before her
death, and passes away as if asleep. S he was
the daughter of Abraham Oakley, of Albany,
third of the name, and Deputy treasurer OF
the state, who was descended in the fifth gen
Grafton from Colonel John Oakley one of the
ItSlciues VI CuaI1eo tucr ilsI, anu Her uotH-
er was Huguenot who was expatriated for
her religion. She married Mr.. James Nor
gan Hall, who died shortly after this mar
rage in the south. Mrs. Hall established
the first Sunday school in Albany and never
ceased from that time her association with
charitable and religious societies. In 1858
she organized the Ladies Christian associa
ton of which the Young women's Christian
association in Fifteenth street is an out
growth, and she assisted to open the first
lodging house for homeless girls and women in
New York With these and similar institutions

Globe Democrat
Mr.. G. P A. Healy, the portrait painter,
who has had sittings from so many of the ia
nous men of this generation, has been in
Washington this winter and has made stud
les and completed portraits of many notables
of this epoch. Chief interest centered in the
study for the portrait of President Arthur,
which Mr.. Healy is to complete at his Paris
studio. The portrait is to be full length, and
when finished will be added to the collection
of Presidents portraits in the White House.
The study represents Preside MT Arthur in
three-quarter view, the head bent slightly
down and forward, with gracious and
pleasant expression, as if just greeting one
1t is most truthful portrait, and shows the
President Arthur of to-day as very different
looking man from the full-faced candidate.

campaign of 1880.
The flowing whiskers have been clipped
Short the chin is smooth, and the moustache
is clipped short. His face wears more
serious air now. and the soft, dark-brow1i
eyes remain as the finest features in his face.
A graceIess politician noting this changed
appearance of the president said that it was
one of his arguments against second
term; that If President Arthur had retained
the familiar mutton-chop whiskers by which
the rural voters know him they might utilize
all the old campaign banners and blocks for
wood cuts; but that now with his clipped
whiskers touched with gray the distant voters
could never tell the pictured Arthur from
Blaine and would mix the campaign sadly.
