The Frequency of Old People.

Michael Soils, who lives in San Saliva
dor in the Republic of Bogota, is said to
be1S6 years of age, and is apparently in
the full vigor of all his powers. He has
never taker any unusual precaution with
his health, is not vegetarian or teetotal-
Ter, and has always been hard worker.
Peter Barlow died in Damariscotta about
three years ago at the age of 1876. He
served under George Washington in the
revolutionary war There is coored man
living in Lynn, Mass, who has recently
been on public exhibition, who claims to
be over 130 years of age.
People over 12O years of age, in the
very general diffusion of news which is
now possible, are frequently heard of in
various portions of the world. Centen-
arisns are by no means the curiosities
they were few generations ago. Seth
Perkins, who recently died in Norwich,
Conn, was a President of railroad at
100 Chevreul, the French scholar, re-
Gently died over 100 years of age.
Probably every State in the Union con-
tains its ccntenarian, and some of them
perhaps several. People over ninety
years of age are by no means a curiosity.
The late Emperor William, OF Germany,
was nearly ninety-two at the time of his
death. Simon Cameron was over ninety,
and so was the late DR.. Dollinger, the
theologian. Our historian Bancroft is
over ninety, and so is Cardinal Newman
and Marshal Won Moltke.
If SO many eminent men can be found
who have lived to an advanced age, it is
reasonable to infer that there are large
number among the more obscure classes.
An English writer on longevity main
tains that genius is inimical to old age;
but this hardly seems borne out by the
facts. Carlyle died at eighty-four;
Bryant at eighty-three; Professor Sir
Richard Owen is still alive at eighty-six;
John G. Whittier at eighty two; Robert
c. Winthrop at eighty-one; William e.
Gladstone, Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Alfred Tennyson at eighty. The throes
and frenzy of genius do not, it seems,
always prove destructive to longevity.
All classes and conditions of men are
liable to attain to old age, though there
can be no doubt that some occupations
are more destructive of health and, hence
of long life, than Others. Yankee Blade.
