THREE ocTooENARIAN POETS
Green Old Age of Tennyson. whittier and
Holmes.


II is a happy circumstance that, spec
tally in these later days, many intellec-
tual writers live on to a green old age;
that, having yielded their fruits Of inn
~agination, or craftsmanship, or science,
they survive to enjoy, in serene age,
their ~well-earned renown; and that al
most all OF them retain, far beyond the
period Of the psalmist's allotted term Of
life. the vigor of their intellectual gifts.
and continue 10 serve and to delight
mankind. writes G.. NJ. Towle in Franz,
Lesiie's Monthly. And this is not more true
of the workers i'm the tranquil fields of let
tiers than those engaged in the nervous
and exhausting warfare OF politics or OF
the battlefield. The spectacle of Glad
stone leading a great political party with
unlessened prowess AT so, of Theirs pre-
siding over "a young and restless republic
at n similar age, of the o~ctogenarian
Gortschakoif directing the complex policy
OF the vast Russian empire, and Of Won
Moltke. at nearly 30, absorbing his time ! n
the intricacies of military problems. is as
striking as the thought that at no Tenny-
son can be as freshly fanciful. Whittier as
fervid and tender, and Holmes as keen,
witty and pathetic, as they were In the
heyday Of their prime.
IL is OF these last three ''octogenarian
poets" two American and one English,
and all living in our midst and still hold
ing in firm grasp productive pens, that we
would speak In this article. Each one
has shown, since he passed his eightisth
birthday, that he Is alive not alone in the
body, hut in spirit and genius; that his
soul dwells In the present, and that the
affairs in the world around him are still
embraced I'm his sympathies. The song of
each is vigorous, and indeed scarcely re-
veals any symptom OF decay. The imagi-
| nation, the quickest of all qualities To re-
veal itself, both in nations and in indiv-
iduals, is also the quickest to die out.
Age is not friendly TO the fancy. Yet these
three poets seem ever young in soul, and
their fancie seem as ripe and robust as
they did a quarter of a century ago.

The Richmond Terminals Ambition.
II looks very much as if tbs Richmond
Terminal Company's ambition is to control
more miles Of railroad than any other rail-
road system in the country. For several
days there has been a report in New York
and Baltimore that the Terminal was try
ing to buy controlling interest in the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad Mr.. Richard
Lauderbach. the Richmond Terminals New
York attorney, has been in Baltimore try
ing 10 find out whether a majority of the
Baltimore and Ohio stock could be pur-
CEASED for anything near what the Rich
mond Terminal would be willing to pay.
The largest holders OF the Baltimore and
Ohio stock are the city of Baltimore. Johns
Hopkins University, ana the CARROTS.
There is quite a strong sentiment among
the people of Baltimore that that city
should sell its stock. for the reason that it
was never intended that the city should be
a permanent holder of it. Johns Hopkins
University would gladly dispose of its
stock, probably. if it could get what 1t
thinks the stock is worth. The stock has
not been paying dividends for
year or more, and the university has suf-
fered considerably for want of means to
carry on its different departments. 1t is
not known whether the CARROTS would sell
all of their stock. or any part of it. 1t is
probable, however, thst the question
whether they would or not depends upon
whether or not they were offered their
price.
The report is that the Richmond Terminal,
or a syndicate of which Mr.. John Inman Is
the head, would pay 500 share for con-
trolling interest. but that s175 share is
asked. 1t is quite certain that nobody would
give that price for the stock. The holders
of it will have to be content with a much
lower price if they really want to dispose
of it.
There is rumor that if the Richmond
Terminal does not buy the stock Mr.. John
Inman and a party Of friends may do so.
1t is probable, however, that there is not
much foundation for this rumor Mr..
lnman, when questioned. said that nothing
had yet been done in the matter. None of
the stock had been purchased, and the i'm
preston gained from Mr.. Inmans talk is
that the Richmond Terminal will not make
an effort to get control of the stock unless
those who hold the bulk of it are willing to
accept for it much less than they are now
asking. The addition of the Baltimore and
Ohio would make the Richmond Terminal
| an immense svstam
