Sidney Lapier.

Says the Chicago Current: "The pos
thumous honors which have been con-
ferred on Sidney Lanier, the poet, have
been very numerous. His admirers are
now making efforts TO erect monument
in his memory in Macon, Georgia,
where he was born. Lanier's death, at
a comparatively early age, had a melan-
choly phase, in view Of the general re-
| cognition which the world was about to
accord him. In this last quarter of the
nineteenth century poets have mad little
reason to complain of cold treatment.
Fame was never so easy to attain as
now"
The Current evidently means well,
but it is somewhat in error as
to facts. For it is not quite ac-
curate TO say that the world was
about to shower general recognition
upon Sidney Lanier just at his death,
because the world has not vet begun to
appreciate the rare genius which pro-
duced "The Symphony" "Corn,n "rhe
Hymns Of the Marshes" and so many
shorter lyrics-not to mention his criti-
cal work. We complacently imagine
that, as tho Current says, poets in these
days have had little reason 80 complain
Of cold treatmont, and that fame was
never so easy to attain as now; but in
reality we are az slow TO appreciate
IS any previous generation was.
Carlyle and Ruskin, who rank among
the most original of the English think
ers OF the country, waited long for rec
ognition. Had Robert Browning or
| Tennyson died at Lanier's age they
could hardly have been called famous.
Indeed, the objections was made 20 Mr.,
Ieunyson in 1850, hen he was 4! 1aar-
old, aud he was proposed as the suces-
sor of WOrdsW Orth as Poet Laureate,
that he was "too little known" although

"Iho Princess" in lS47 and ain Me

not believe that true fame is any easier
to attain now than in any past age; the
notoriety which in literature holds a
position similar to that OF the circus or
the widely advertised patent medicine
in other walks of life may perhaps
come more easily; but fame does not
What is true and lasting cannot be

saving machines, but sound morals and
aesthetics are developed neither

have given to the genius of Sidney

vocates the construction and maintain

which it shows wisdom and for which

The same paper also learns that
"THERE is a strong probability OF the
Texas Trunk railroad being extended TO
Athens soon. The present terminus IL
