oLDAGE "ovER THE TEAcUPs.o

Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself an
octogenarian, is in his happiest
vein when he thus takes off" some
of the peculiarities of old age in his
series of papers now running in the
Atlantic Monthly:
The feeling must of necessity come
to many a ged persons that they have
| outlived their usefulness; that they
are no longer wanted, but rather in
the way. drags on the wheels rather
than helping them forward. But let
them remember the often quoted line
of Milton,-
They also serve who only stand and wait"
This is peculiarly true of them. They
are helping others without always
being aware of it. They are the
shields, the breakwaters, of those
who come after them. Every decade
is a defence of the one next behind 1t.
At thirty the youth has sobered into
manhood, but the strong men of
forty rise in almost unbroken rank
between him and the approaches of
old age as they show in the men of
fifty. At forty he looks with a sense
of security at the strong men of fifty,
and sees behind them the row of
sturdy sexagenarians. When fifty is
reached, somehow sixty does not
look SO old as it once used to, and
seventy is still afar off. At sixty the
stern sentence of the burial service
seems to have a meaning that one
did not notice in former years. There
begins to be something personal
about it. But if one lives to seventy
he soon gets used to the text with
the three score years and ten in it,
and begins to count himself among
those who by reason of strength are
destined to reach fOurscOre, of
whom he can see a number still in
reasonably good condition. The oc-
tOgenarIan loves to read about peO-
pie of ninety and over. He peers
among the asterisks of the triennial
catalogue of the university for the
names of graduates who have been
seventy years out Of college and re-
main still unstarred He is curious
about the biographies of centena-
rians. Such escapades as those of
that terrible old sinner and ancestor
of great men, the Rev. Stephen Batch
elder, interest him as they never did
before. But he cannot deceive him
self much longer See him walking
on level surface, and he steps off al
most as well as ever; but watch him
coming down q flight of stairs, and
the family record could not tell his
years more faithfully He cut you
dead. you say? Did it occur to you
that he could not see you clearly
enough to know you from any other
son or daughter of Adam? He said
he was very glad to hear it, did he,
when you told him that your beloved
grandmother had just deceased?
Did you happen to remember that
though he does not allow that he is
deaf, he will not deny that he does
not hear quite SO well as he used to?
No matter about his failings; the
longer he holds on to life, the longer
he makes life seem to all the living
who follow him, and thus he is their
constant benefactOr.

PECULIAR DEATH OF LAWYER

Capt. Otis Gilmore, 50, a leading
lawyer of Bangor, is dead. He had
practiced his profession in the city
for many years, and his death quick
ly follows that of another prominent
lawyer in the same city, Lewis A.
Barker He had served in the 18th
Maine regiment in the late war, and
while in service received q wound
which was the cause of his death.
He awOke one evening recently with
an intense pain in his leg, which he
was also unable to move. A physi-
clan was called and said he had sus-
tanned spontaneous fracture of the
leg, which would never be healed.
Other physicians were called in and
said that since he was wounded there
had been q gradual poisoning Of his
blood, and the impure matter had
been absorbed by the bone from the
hip-jOint to the knee, causing an in
flammatory softening, a case as
unique as it was rare. The bone
had slowly lost all life until it reach
ed a point where the weight of the
leg was sufficient to break it. The
deadening of the bone would, of
course, effectually prevent the leg
from healing even if the fracture were
reduced, and, allowed to remain even
for short time without attention,
would produce death. His only hope
of life was in amputation, and a few
days ago, while he was suffering in
tense pain, the operation was per-
formed The wound made an en-
cOuraging progress toward healing,
until Saturday evening it began
bleeding again, and, although it was
stopped, the patient was too weak
TO rally and died IN a few hours.

At St. Matthews, in Orangeburg
county, on "Wednesday last. Capt.
+. M. Wannamakcr, q prominent
citizen of the village, was stabbed by
M. l.. Herlong, from the effects of
which he died tho next morning.
The difficulty grow out OF an alleged
remark of IIerlong to the effect that
certain Anti Tillman mon attended
an Alliance meeting with rifles in
their hands. Herlong is a Tillman
man and Wannamaker was opposed
to Tillman. Wannamakor accosted
Hcrlong in the street, charging him
with originating the offensive report.
Hcrlong answered in the Affirmative.
Capt. WanDamakcr then said he was
liar. As Herlong did not re-
sent this, Capt. Wannamakcr walked
off with his friends. When he had
gono about twenty stops, Herlong,
with an open knife in his hand, came
walking up behind the captain, and
the latter, noticing I1erlong's APP
proach, turned and. said: "You
s%coundrel, you I following me, arc
your" and struck at IIcrlong with
his fist, upon which Herlong stabbed
Capt. Wannamakor. Capt. Wanna
maker fell Immediately. Hcrlong
has the reputation of being n quiet,
%pcaccablc man, and is foreman of the
Orangcbmg grand jury. He claims
having acted in sclf-dcfcnsc, saying
that when he started up street he
only happened to be going in the
same direction in which Capt. Wan
namakcr was going, and had no in
tention of assaulting Capt. Wanna
maker until the latter turned on and
struck at him. lie surrendered him
self and is now in jail.

How tho Close States arc to be
Carried. g.

The letters of Senator Quay,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, and others, published in
the Now York World Of Saturday
last, indicate that tho Authorization
of West Virginia, Connecticut and
Indiana by q political emigration
bureau is the device by Amoans of
which these doubtful States arc to
be made safely Republican in 1892.
These States are to be colonizcd
with negroes to make the North
solid for protection in tho next
Presidential election. Tho. chief
instrument for tho execution of this
scheme is said to be n "Southcrn
emigration company" ostcnsibly a
business enterprise, but in reality
intended to be used for political pur-
poses. The extent and nature of
the alleged conspiracy are shown in
numerous letters published in the
World. There arc several letters
from Chairman Quay-ono in fac
similc-indorsing the scheme, also
letters from other politicians favor
ing its prosecution. Money is to be
Forthcoming from the National Com
mittce at tho proper time. The

to be fully appreciated by its pro-
motors. The cloak of philanthropy

The Federal Election Bill.

WAsHINGToN, October LIN the

if the Republicans would pass the

have been passed this session. More
than that, it would have been, had
there not beeB an agreement Ito
whichI was not a partly between
some of my Republican brethren
and the Democratic Senator's. Tt
may be that the rules of the Senate
will need to be amended before the
bill a pass, but | am Of the opin-
ion that we have rules enough.
The parliamentary practice, long
approved, provides that when there
is an evident intention on tho part Of
a minority to willfully obstruct logis-
lation, it is perfectly Legitimate and
only right that the majority assert it's
power and come to q conclusion.
That is my belief. There arc those
of my own party who disagree with
me, and it may be that new rule
will be brought forth to meet and
defeat captious minority opposition.
