WALT WHITMAN DEAD.

Our good old gray poet, Walt Whit
nan, is dead.
He was an American of Americans.
de was the friend OF Lincoln, and like
Lincoln he came close to the plain peo-
pie from whom he and Lincoln sprung.
The greatest, the most heartfelt
tribute paid to the illustrIous chief
who led the negro race from the gloom
If slavery into the sunlight OF freedom
vas written by Walt Whitman. "My
Captain, oh, my captain" he sang,
'thou art lying cold and deadl" In
hat poem was the great vail OF a great
nations grief.
The great poet-private and the great
statesman Captain have met on the
lhores of the other side. Two stainless
FOULS are at last together, They were

Occasion. There is nothing in the
title, or in the psalm itself. 10 indicate
the historic occasion
AUTHOR. The title assigns the psalm
TO David, and, SO far as verses 1-6 are
concerned, there is no evidence what
ever urged against this authorship.
The resemblance to Psalm 8 is strlk-
ing; the reflections on Nature accord
with Dayid's circumstances and char
acter. But the praise of Gods law, in
verses TIA, is thought by many to as
sumo the existence of a written word
Of God, and to imply that there was an
acknowledged written revelation In
his day. Hence the recent theories
respecting the Pentatuch compel the
,ritics who hold them to deny the Da-
vidic authorship OF this latter half, il
not OF the whole. But the p a m 'orms
, unity; and it is easier to believe that
David wrote the whole of it, than to
believe 1t "a patched-up affair, or
production of some person
unknown, and in an unpoetic
age. Moreover, the claw of the Lord"
ia by some taken az Gods voice in
natnre-or natural law as ordained Of
God" The date cannot be determined,
out it may be SAT, ly ASST ned to the
latter part OF David's reign.
OUTLINE. The two parts are The
glory of God in his works Tvs, l-6',
and in his word Tvs. 7-l4); the latter
being the higher and fuller revelation,
Some prefer to make a thieefold dlvis-
on; verses lila being An application
IF the previous statements to the per-
sonal character Of the psalmist, and
those who believe as he does.

WDHsAtlR.

LONDON, Aug. l6.--Mr. Francis Gal
ton chairman of the committee IN
charge Of the Kew obseryator. has
written letter to the Times relative
to q scheme for establishing commuu.
icatioh between Mars and the earth,
Mr. Cation declares that a beam of
sunlight reflected through a hole one,
tenth of an inch square in a plate
10 front of mirror would be Just as
distinctly seen as q faint CLINT at a
distance of ten miles. The amour,
OF fog and haze which a beam of ligbr
would traverse between the earth and
Mars when the latter is high above
the horizon, Mr., Cation SAYS. could
not exceed that along an EARTHLY ten
mile base. Therefore, the same .pro.
portion between the size of the mirror
and the distance holding through. ii
follows that the flash from many mir
rofs simultaneously, whose aggregate
width was fifteen yaIds, and wSose
aggregate length, to allow for slone
was say twenty-five yards, would be
visible on Mars if seen through a tel
scope like that At the Lick Obserya.
