TO the last Goodwin was a picturesque
figure upon the streets-that finest of
sights, white-haired old man who has
retained all his interest in life with
more than his youthful judgment. He
somehow suggested Bryant, in whose
home at Roslyn he long lived.
Journalism was more closely akin to
literature in the days of the smaller
New York when Goodwin was writing
The Harbinger, the New York organ of
the Brook Farm experimenters. Dana,
who was to become as the editor of the
Sun an uncompromising conservative,
was a Brook Farmer George Ripley,
the head of the Brook Farm communi-
ty, came to New York and was for
years the Tribunes literary editor,
pouring out his ripe learning and his
enthusiasms for $50 week, pay which
now the "cub reporter would scorn.
Margaret Fuller was passing through
her brief romance with young Jew
trader in New York. Horace Greeley
could edit the Tribune and be the chief
friend of all the newer and stranger
lights of letters. Bryant was poet and
editor in one-though the editor swal-
lowed up the poet, who never surpassed
the youthful burst of song at 18 years,
''Tohnatopsis."
There are two men in New York who
recall those fruitful days of literary
history, John Bigelow and William
Winter. Bigelow is more of a diplo-
matist than litterateur, He was
United States minister to Germany,
whence it came about that his son,
Poultney Bigelow, went to school with
the present Emperor William, a fact

solved by the retirement of Mr.. Pedley
VINO has disposed of his interest TO his
late business associates with a view of
going 10 Southern California to join his
wife and family at Pasadena where they
have been sojourning for several
months for the benefit of their health.
Mr. Pedley has been engaged in the
drug trade here for many years and his
retirement will remove q well known
character from the commercial circles
of Canon City. His many Colorado
friends will wish him the utmost sue
cess in whatever branch of enterprise
he may embark on the Pacific coast.
Messrs- Mitchell and Egbers will con-
tinue the business on the lines which
the firm has pursued so steadfastly in
the past, and hope by courteous atten-
ton and close application to the de-
mands Of the trade to merit continu-
ance of their full share of the public
patronage. They are thoroughly com
petent in their professional work, and
with their we'll known energy and atfa-
bility will, doubtless, succeed in their
aspirations.
