ture have never impressed themselves
upon his vision. He has never sported
in the shade of the spreading trees which
shelter these models of architectural
magnificence from the uncomfortable
heat of a December sun. He has never
rejoiced his palate with the s%ucculent
and juicy fruits to be plucked from these
pleasing trees. He has v hoated
in a boat owe the calm and placid
waters of our limpid lakes and rushing
creeks and rivers, and heard the sweet
and musical murmur of the spice
scented breezes as they blow through
the shady groves on either shore. He
has never heard the musical strains of
the song birds as they awake the resi-
dents from happy dreams to their daily
occupation. He has never paraded the
streets of Bismarck with a linen duster,
a straw hat and a summer zane. while
Chicago is in the grasp Of an icy biz
zard, and trains are delayed for hours
in Minnesota by the drifted snows. And
he has never edged his way through the
impossible throngs on the business
streets, and breathed a sigh of relief
when he arrived at his destination.
AS a ~propounder of ideas and theories,
the Plaindea ler may be all right, but
when it comes to cold, hard facts about
Bismarck, the Plaindealer is not in it
to any perceptible extent.
His argument in favor of an executive
mansion is all right, however, on the
whole. Residences of the better class
are scarce in Bismarck, and it is very
seldom that one at all suitable for o
governor to live in, is for rent. Yes, the
governor should be provided with a
| residence. @nzSls

sappbo's Limitations.

Miss Molly Elliot Seawell, an author VINO
writes as lorcbly as if her name were Mary,
has recently asserted that the lines oil Sappho
which have come down 10 us "c0uld easily De
SURPASSED. and have very often been sur
passed. by Miss Edith Thomas or Miss Helen
GRAY Cone" Passing the question what re-
Iati0n this critical estimate of SapphO's posi-
ton i'm the world Of letters may bear to the
announcement that Miss Seawell IS about
publishing book for boys, itmay be suggest
ed that there are excuses 10 be made for the
Greek poetess.
Indeed. it is rather iyidious TO attack
Sappho so late in the day. And it is excess
sively unfair 10 compare her with ourbrllliant
young American wrists. She lived long before
railroads and telephones and all the other great
inventions which have so plentiully inspired
the modern fancy-in fact, her limitations
We're those OF an essentially primitive state OF
existence. Moreover, instead of possessing a
strongly infected, eloquent and exact medium
like English IN which 10 express her emotions,
she was forced to couch her poems IN Greek,
TO which nowadays we have to take die
tiOnary.
And since the epoch in which she sang
furnished no problems worthy the attention oil
serious or literary persons, as We understand
them. her songs necessarily yibrated with the
simplest emotions only, and the plain truth
is that to call her burning Sappho, a.
Byron did, was only permissible by way oil
metaphor.

Der this when they ponder over Miss Seawell 5

NIu Age of IennYsOn.

The charge that Tennyson IS failing In his
mind and has lost his high poetic art because
of extreme age is shown TO be untrue by the
excellence of his volume entitled "Demeter
and Other Poems"-a volume that contains
several poems OF very marked inspiration and
force and written with that dizziness Of touch
and felicity OF language that distinguish this
great poet always when at his best. These
poems are the children OF his old age, but
they are worthy OF him when IN full strength
of manhoOd's mental and hysicai prime.
The poet who at eighty could have written
"Demeter,o "Owd Roa," ''Nastness,"
"Happy," "To Ulysses" TO Mary Boyle"
"The Progress of Spring" ''Ihe CLEAN" and
"Crossing the Bar is still very great poet,
and surpasses any other octOgenarlan known
among poets. If there ever was an inspira-
tion il is ''Crossing the Bar" SO far from it
seeming TO be with the noble Laureate the
winter OF life, when the eye is dim,
the strength abated, the blood chilled, the
touch grown rough and uncertain, IL verify
looks like the Indian summer with him, and
the bays are still green and the magic of voice
still undimnished and the style stlll free and
ample and swift and plangent at will and
clear, aud the verse lucid and liquid aud rich
with an uncommon richness as it was wont TO
be of old, but possibly Of stronger and more
Greekiike fOrm-"eyery where greatness and
"a high mag ination moving at ease in the gold
armour OF an heroic style" His later, his
very last poems, indeed, are worthy 10 hold
companionship with the glorious poems OF his
summer prince Wilmington Messenger.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward.

Notable to-day, in comparison with the re-
cent past, are the immensely greater con-
spicuity Of the novel, and the immensely
greater conspicuity of the attitude of women.
IL might be added that the attitude of women
is the novel, in England and America, and
that these signs OF The times have, therefore,
practical unity. The union is represented
at any rate in the high distinction of Mrs.
Humphrey Ward, who is at once the author Of
the work of fiction that has in our hour been
most widely circulated, and the most striking
example Of the unprecedented kind of atten-
ton which the feminine mind is now at liberty
toexcite. Her position is one which certainly
