THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG.
Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holme
and William Cullen Bryant.

Oliver Wendell Holmes received the
degree Of doctor of medicine in 1886,
being then % years old, and in that
year he also published his first volume
Of poems, Nothing of DR.. Holmes has
been more popular than THE Last
Leaf" contained in this early collec-
ton, and none has more richly deserved
TO please by its rhythmic beauty and by
its exquisite blending of humor and
pathos SO alphabetically intertwineG
that we feel the lonely sadness of the
old man even while we are smiling at
the quaintness SO feelingly portrayed.
DR.. Holmes was like Bryant, who
composed "ThanatopsiS' and the
Lines to a Waterfowl" long before he
was 90, in that he early attained full
development as a poet. Although each
Of them wrote many verses in later life,
nothing of theirs excolled these poems
OF their youth. In their maturity they
did not lose power, but neither did they
deepen nor broaden, and "ThanatOpsis''
on the Il side and The Last Leaf on
the other are as strong and characters.
TIC as anything either poet was ever &c
write throughout a long life. What Bry.
ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his
first volume Of poems. each was to the
end Of his career.
To neither Of them was literature q
livelihood. Bryant was first a lawyer
and then a journalist. Holmes was
first a practicing physician and then q
teacher Of medicine. He won three
prizes for dissertations upon medical
themes, and these essays were published
together i'll 1888. In 1889 he was ap
pointed professor of anatomy and phys.
lology at Dartmouth, and the next veal
he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson.
Shortly afterward he resigned the posi-
ton at Dartmouth and resumed practic,
IN Boston. He worked hard in his pro
fesslOn and contributed freely to it's lit
e~rature, and in lSi1 he went back t,
harvard, having been appointed pro
lessor Of anatomy and physiology,
position which he was to hold wit
great distinction for 35 years. st

Asia What 1t May Become.
All the signs indicate that the Turk

world has reached its end. Whether it is
to be partitioned among the European
powers or is TO be kept in nominal life
under a government 10 be constituted by
those powers, as one of the latest reports
indicates, the result will be the same.
The great Mohammedan empire, which
at one time threatened all Europe, has
existed for the past 40 years only by the
federation of ChristendOm, and is now
reaching the end; and will be practically
buried by its own corruption and vices.
1t is instructive to recall the rise and
fall of this Mohammedan power. Re
cruiting its strength from the wild and
fierce tribes of Asia. it overthrow the

wiped it out by the taking of CONSTANT

Literary Notes.

The Peterson Magazine for January
is gem, artistically, and from a
literary standpoint, and the faithful
ness with which It's publishers have
lived up to their promises in the past
is a safe augury that the January num-
Der is an index to the excellent things
to be given in this magazine during
the year. The article on Washington
the citizen, soldier, stateman, pa
triot, alone is worth many times the
price of Il years subscription, and
THE Forty lmmortals'' is a treasure
trove of good things. The portraits
and illustrations are all of the highest
degree of artistic excellence.
Among the many notable features TO
appear in McClure's Magazine in the
next few months, is an article on Col.
Ellsworth, by Col. John Hay Ellis
worth's death at AleXandria-"the first
conspicuous victim of the war'-al-
though he was only twenty-four, was
the dramatic end of most romantic
and picturesque career. and no one
knows its details 80 well as Colonel
Hay. Ellsworth was one of the dear
est Of the friends of my youth" SAYS
Colonel Hay. Moreover, he was par
tlcular fayorite and prOtege of President
Lincoln's when Colonel Hay was Lin
coins private secretary. Colonel Hays
paper, therefore, is one of quite extra
ordinary interest. There will be pub
lished with it some very interesting
pictures. T.. a. Robinson, who, as
editor of the Ciyil and Military Gazette,
at Lahore, India, had Rudyard kipling
for his assistant and lived in the closest
intimacy with him, has written paper
telling all about Kipling's life in India
how he ground at the editors desk,
daily doing the drudgery of three OF
four ordinary men, aud making his
modest ventures toward wider fame

his personal manners and appearance

states the situation correctly when he
says that, while President Cleveland's
message was one of peace, behind it

BLAZE IN A STABLE.
Narrow Escape From an Ugly Fire
on West boundary Street.

Fire was discovered yesterday after
noon about $50 O'Clock in the feedhouse at
the stables and wagon yard OF Floyd &
Co, at Sims and West Boundary streets.
and an alarm was telephOned TO No. 4

an alarm was turned in from box "a at

The department from headquarters and
from No. 4 responded promptly, and man.
aged TO save considerable of the imme-
diately adjoining property that would
otherwise have been destroyed. The fire
was discovered by the yardman in the
narrow alleyway between the feedhOuse
and some houses fronting on West BOun-
dairy street. and was coming from a
point near where a large quantity OF
The stable is located Immediately be-
hind the feedhouse, and IN this were
about thirty mules, which were at once
driven out and into the field beyond. BY
diligent work on the part OF the firemen
however, the blaze was kept confined
TO the feedhouse, which was practically
the only part Of the property belonging
to Messrs. Floyd & Co. that was destroy
ed. The only damage to the stable was
the scorching of one end of 1t.
In the feedhOuse was stored large
lot of hay, bran, oats. corn and other
feed. This, together with the building,
was totally destroyed. Two frame houses
burning building, were damaged consld-
erably, one of them being quite badly
burned otrt inside but the other was only
slightly burned. The nremen had hard
work with the houses on account of
the tin sheathing which was put over the
shingles and which made it a hard matter
to get at the fire in the roof. Insurance
companies are all charging a higher rate
Of insurance where shingled roofs are so
covered with tin. but according to the
present city ordinances this tin covering
Is required whenever any Of the shingles
are removed Instead Of taking of the
shingles the tin is put on right over them,
which makes fire in the roof difficult to
get at. These houses are the property OF
a Mr. Turner. The damage to them will
be in the neighborhood of 500.

Five Thousand Feet to He in the
Southern Section.
The water commission has decided TO
lay about 5000 feet of water mains in the
southern section of the city. About 5000
feet of this will be in the southwestern
section, which is almost entirely without
water.
The new mains will be laid as follows:
On Sixth street, from Whitaker to Lin
coin, 1900 feet; Ninth street, from Mont
gomery to Florence, 1900 feet; Florence,
from Ninth to Lavinia street, 1,675 feet.
and Lavinia to Ogeechee road 800 feet,
making a total of 5,1B feet. The new
main will be six inch. Work will begin
some time next month. The continuation
of the 16-inch main on Bay street from
Abercorn to East Broad street, will also
begin some time next month.
The commission has instructed Supt.
Lotion to replace twenty-five of the old
style fire MIGRANTS in the business sec
ton of the city with the new improved
large hydrants. The old hydrants will be
placed in the southern section, as they
are fully large enough for use there.
Supt. Lotion has been hard at work this
week laying water pipe In Colonial park.
About 1900 feet of Pinch pipe will be laid,
and small hydrants will be put in to sup
ply water for sprinkling the grass and
plants in the park.
