Bismarck enters the ranks of the

this rarely reached milestone of
time.
Bismarck will find himself in eX-
cellent and brainy company on the
other side of his eightieth birthday
anniversary. He will find the school
ward full of gray old boys and girls.
He will find Pope Leo at eighty-hVe,
writing Latin sonncts, just as in the
olden days when as lad he sur
prised the Pecci family by his pre-
cociousness. He will find the En-
glish statesman, William E. Glad
stone, discussing Greek prose and
writing critical essays on religion
and philosophy He will be. surprised
to find Verdi, at eighty, planning a
new opera for the great singer

no less a pleasant theme than

will be eighty-four on June IA, and the
closing days of her life are marked by
extreme weakness.
Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island was
still active at eighty-two, although now
growing somewhat weaker.
Curtins, the polished Greek scholar,
is living at eighty. Verdi is nearing
eighty-one, and has just achieved a
marvellous success with "Falstaff.' -
Baroness Burdett-Coutts begins her
eighty-first year in 1895, and her life
runs on as smoothly as ever in it's
philanthropic channels. 1t seems an
age since she succeeded to the Coutts
millions. Still since that time, 1887,
she has endowed many bishoprics, has
established homes for the fallen,
homes for children and in a thousand
different lessons given the world OBJ
ject lessons in real charity Her
romantic marriage with young Ash
mead Bartlett is still fresh in the
minds of readers.
ON THE ELIGIBLE LIST.
But there is a long list of eligibles,
The next few years will witness many
additions to the ranks of octogenarians
should these now in line remain
alive Justice Field, ex-senator
Dawes, Leon Say, Parke Goodwin
and Russell Sage will be eighty in
1896 In 1897 King Christopher of Den
mark, Prof. Mommser, Sir John Gill
bert and Senator John NJ. Palmer will
reach the octogenarian stage. In 1888
ex-senator Evarts, Bishop Coke and
Mrs. John Drew become eighty. In 1889
Queen Victoria, Julia Ward Howe,
Crispi, Longstreet, Ruskin, w. w.
! Story and Bishop Huntington will make
up the list of young octogenarians.
In 1900 the list will comprise Herbert
! Spencer, Florence Nightingale, Mrs. G.

cranz and Susan b. Anthony
AS for the famous people between
seventy and seventyfour, their name
is legion.
