THE ENUMERATION OF LIVE STOCK.

Col. J. NJ Mccoy. special agent in
charge of the enumeration of live stock on
the ranges reports that his force is now in
working order. 1t naturally takes them a
little while TO get well in the harness and
he estimates that the work actually began
in earnest August LIST As nearly as he
can figure now three months will bring
them 10 the time for the consideration OF
totals and very shortly after that he hopes
to be able TO make full and complete re
turns 20 the special agent at Washington.
He thinks all the enumerators took hold
of the work naturally and have thus far
shown a peculiar adaptability for it which
he agues will bring in prompt and
absolutely correct returns.

A WOMAN WHO IS RATHER TIRE

Oh, 10 be alone!
To escape from the work. the play.
The talking every day;
To escape from all have done,
And all that remains 70 do,
To escape, yea, even from you,
My only love, and DO
Alone and free.
Could only stand
Between gray moor and gray sky,
Where the wiad and the plovers cry,
And no man is at hand;
And feel the free wind blow
On my rain wet face and know
am free, not yours, but my own,
Free and alOnel
For the soft FIRE light
And the home OF your heart my dear.
They hurt being always here.
want'to stand up upright,
And 70 cool my eyes in the air.
And TO See how my back can bear
Burdens; TO tpy, 70 know,
To learE, TO grow.
am only you
lam yours, part of you. your vital
And have no other life.
| cannot think, cannot DO;
/ cannot breathe. cannot see;
There is ''us" but there Is not 'me'-
And worse, at your kiss grow
Contented SO.

Even as they siE on the bench, the very
Incarnation Of solemnity. the smile that
lights up their cid faces when some law
yer cracks a dry. crinkiy joke. ike the
opening OF bottle os Mumm's extra, is
worth going miles 70 see. These elderly
jurists are all great pedestrians, and the
scene they make swinging down the ave-
nue. BY twos and threes after their days
work Is done j. one which every body has
looked at with interest, and which We
scribes have al written about.
Some men actually refuse 70 obey the
orders OF imperious nature and grow
old as tie years gather. \ few not only
refuse 20 let the heart dry up and the
blood become thin with age, but they
persist Ia remaining youthful in appear
ance and fair 10 look upon. There is
Senator Colquitt. l never see that man
without wondering If he hasn't played
some such trick on US as palming a son
off on the senate and the world for him
SELF. IL does not seem possible that this
lively person. with the bright eyes and
smooth, youthful face, is the man who
served as a staff officer in the Mexican
war. and who was first elected 70 con-
gress nearly forty years ago.
Yet he IS the man, and one would say
that he was good for another quarter OF
a century. Colquitt's case proves that if
a man wants 10 live long and retain his
powers in old age he must live right.
The senator ID now and always has been
a teetotaler. Probably he has made a
greater number Of temperance speeches
than any other man in congress. 1t was
his devotion to the temperance cause, il
is said. that made him governor of Geor-
gia and then senator.
y few days ago | saw a somewhat re-
markable couple on top Of the dome OF
the Capitol. They were Senators Col
quit and Payne, and these old fellows
were taking IN the great panorama which
Is spread out under the eyes of Liberty
with al the zest OF couple of school
boys. IL is no easy climb 10 this height,
up the steep. winding stairs. and with
no elevator to help one even part Of
tho journey. Yet here were two men
whose combined ages represented a cen
tury and half looking out upon city
fall of noble ediices, that was founded
but few years before the elder senator
was born. Senator Payne will be 50 il
he lives till November. but he il not by
any means an old man. lie is as lively
as a cricket, both mentally and physical
II. and made the ascent Of the dome
without any discomfort.
senator Payne is a New Yorker. and he
and stephen A. Douglas were boys to-
gether. The senator once told me that he
loaned Douglas the money with which
that Young man went out 10 Illinois and
established himself a. a lawyer. And
though the 500 which gave him was
about al the money had in the world.
said the senator. lit was the best invest
menf ever made" Douglas died quar-
ter Of a century ago. and here is Payne,
by no means worn out.

EvARTS AND BANKS OUT FOR A WALK.
siced that the congressman is liveler
with his legs than the senator. But in
mental activity Evarts has the advan-
tage. The man who was speaker of the
house before many Of the present mem
bers Of that body were born is afflicted
with senile memory, and at times
with inability to concentrate his
thoughts. Probably this is his last ap-
pearance in the halls of congress. where
he is now rounding out career of which
any man could well be proud.
Senator Sherman as n type Of youth
ful old men occupies position midway
between Colquitt and Evarts. The Ohio
statesman is neither mummifed nor full,
vital bloOded lie is. rather, one who
has husbanded the native strength of his
constitution BIZ careful living and me
thodical work till now, at nearly 20, and
with record Of forty years of public
service behind him, he seems good for
dozen years more. When In good health
Samuel J. Randall was fine specimen
Of the youthful old man. Randall has
one Of those smooth, boyish faces, vet
strong and manly, which do not change
with the years
Few statesmen have worked harder
than Randall, or accomplished more in
the wav Of legislation. Two years ago
he was the same Randall alert, self con-
tanned. sharp eyed, quick cared, a pict
ure OF strength. that he was twenty years
before. Two decades did not apparently
make much change in him. and had he
worked less assiduously and taken more
exercise and pleasure he might still be
one OF the active leaders on the 50or.
Senator Edmunds is one Of the old
looking statesmen who are not very old.
II Is Edmunds' badness that gives him
the appearance of a patriarch at CO. The
most venerable appearing men in the
senate are not the oldest members Of
that body. "Old Joe Brown, OF Georgia.
whose long, almost hairless head and
great white beard make him look ike a
centenarian, is only 60 The oldest man
in the house. Mr.. Miles. Of Connecticut,
IS ons Of tho liveiiest members Of that
body and ny no means the oldest in ap-
pcsrsnce- There are many Young old
men IN the senate and house. and not
few young men who, profiting not by
the lessons q experience. are rapidly
growing old. WALTER " ELLMAN.
