How The" 1t .9ked at the Beginning ot theSeventies .nd How They Jook Now.Heroes of the Forum, 'he Study, the

Stage and the Frontier.

When added years bring added honor,and when the crown or silver hair is acrown indeed, it must delight the .;edsage or statesman, as well as the man ofaffairs, To looik back to the days when thefirst triumph was scored in life's ba*t;e,and to recall again the blood tingling ex-ultation with which the first shou, ofpopular approval fell uponYzmay havehood's eager ear...("amid the shock ofwte&e,'the plaudits of the theatre or thecalm repose of the library, but the time,the circumstances, the surroundings, cannever be forgotten. The years go by.There aie other struggles and greater tri-umphs, but none so sweet ,.s that firstsuccess. And as the progress of timeindicates the approach of the end ofthings earthly, 'he new generation bowsin reverence before embodied worth, anddedghts to pass in review the deedswhich have raised the objects of theiradmiration from the plane of mediocrityto the heights of fame.

There are many men who have sus-tained through years of labor the prom-ise of their youth and won both honorand fortune by the trained use of excep-tional talents. To display and illustratethe upward progress of a few angong themany, and to indicate where they standnow and where they stood a score ofyears ago, is the object of this article.

William Maxwell Evarts had alreadyachieved e mi -nence in 1870.As the leadingcounsel for Pres-ident Johnson inthe impeach-ment trial, and /later as attorney

general of theUnited States,his name cameprominently be-fore the peopleabout that time,and as a lawyer

/ and a politician/ he has held a

WILLIAM a. EVARTS. high place everafter. Since then he has played manyparts on life's stage. In 1872 he wascounsel for the United States in the~^claims` at (Geneva:Si~~- ~ II---; -

lIe next attracted public Interest when7he appeared as leading legal adviser to

Henry Ward Beecher in the suit broughtagainst the celebrated divine by Theo-dore Tilton. He also argued the Repub-ican side of the electoral case before the

,•ommission, and when Mr. Hayes suc-ceeded to the presidency Mr. Evarts be-came secretary of state. Now, at the

age of 72, he is United States senator gfrom New York. Small in stature and I

apparently feeble, he still possesses tre-mendous mental energy, and is as elo-

quent as in the days when he pleaded the

great causes that made him famous. He

might almost be called the Warwick of Ithe States, for he saved Andrew Johnsonfrom impeachment and secured Hayes in

the title to his seat. As noted above,both those -orsidents rewarded him

amply.Tommaso Salvini, the Italian tragedian,

is younger than at least three of the menmentioned here. He entered on his 61st

year Jan. 1, :890, contented with thelaurels he has gained, and willing, fromthe repose of private life, to watch theonward progress of his handsome andc'-ever son. Twenty years ago dignor Sal-

ini t'9 driving the Madrilese wild withenthusiasm over hisacting. It •recorded

that ,t that 'mohis delineation ofthe death of Con-:'ad in "La MorteCivile' produced TOM•xxASO SALVINI.

such an imp'ression that the easily rousedaudience rushed upon the stage to ascer-tain whether the death was actual or fic-

titious. Salvini has been a soldier as

well as an actor. In 1849 he entered the

army of Italian independence, and foughtvaliantly for the defense of his country.

After the proclamation of peace he re-

turned to the stage, with which he had

been connected from childhood, andmade steady progress in public favor.

In 1865, at Florence, the sixth centenaryof Dante's birthday was celebrated bythe production of "Francesca di Rimini,"a tragedy founded on an episode in the

"Divina Commedia," -nd Italy's four

greatest actors filled the leading roles.One of these was Salvini, the other three

being Rossi. Majeroni and Mine. Ristori.

Salvini first visited America in 1874, andhis artistic methods are familiar to the

American theatre goer. lie is a man of

courteous mnanners, magnificent physiqueand dirtinguished appearance.

won his sours. Je was already runoted

man, then about 85 yearsof age, and wore Ihis title of Buffalo Bill because of his un-equaled devastation among the Ameri-can bison, but on the occasion referredto he rose above the level of the ordinaryplainsman and Indian fighter.

From his headquarters at Hays CityGen. Sheridan sent Cody as guide and

scout to Capt.Parker at FortLarned. In thenext three days,as the bearer ofdispatches b e -tween thosepoints, he per.

tormed the feat 7 <\ "of covering 355miles in fifty-eight hours, 85'miles being onfoot. This in ahostile Indian

aie if Buffalo Bill made so great animpression on Gen. Sheridan that hecalled the scout to his headquarters andsaid: "Cody, I appoint you chief ofscouts of the command."

The writer, when on the frontier, afterthe Custer massacre, saw an instance ofCody's nerve. A scouting party wasriding among the foothills of the WindRiver mountains, in Montana. Whilegoing through a small defile from itssides came the crack of rifles. Everyone seemed paralyzed but Buffalo Bill."It's death to run; there's a chance infighting," he cried. "Up with you,boys." And he led the way. AdozenIndians composed the ambuscade. Theywere "good" Indians when the skirmishended. The whites lost one man.

While in the government service Codydid gallant work until the year subse-quent to the Custer massacre saw thehc stile Indians subdued. He was longthe idol of the frontier, and the enthusi-astic cowboys of the Platte elected himto the Nebraska legislature. At presenthe is displaying his handsome figure andhis Wild West show to the nations ofEurope. He is a man whom the judg-ment of future historians will rank withDaniel Boone and Kit Carson as a bul-wark of the border.

About two decades ago Charles Ander-son Dana began to insist that The NewYork Sun should shine? for all, and to

enunciate hisoft repeatedorder: "If anyman assaultsthe English

newspaper field. Nearly fifty years agohe belonged to the famous Brook Farmcommunity. From 1847 to 1861 he wasconnected with the management of TheNew York Tribune, and during thoseyears also joined with Mr. George Ripleyin editing the "American Cyclopaedia,"of sixteen volumes.

Mr. Dana has, in addition, been a com-

piler of choice poetry, the biographer ofGen. Grant, assistant secretary of warduring Mr. Lincoln's adininistration andthe nublisher of a Chicago paper whichnever rallied from the shock of the greatfire of 1871. A_ tireless worker, tke pos-sessor of a vigdrous style and a strong

personality, he is a man who would at-tract attention anywhere, and surely doesnot fail to do so when he mounts the

stepsof The Sun office to go to his "den."Oliver Wendell Holmes is an octoge-

narian, but neither facile pen nor elo-

quent voice claims well earned rest, andthe Autocrat of the Breakfast Table is

TO-MORROW IS A HOLIDAY.

The daughters of four generations satIn the dark shadows of an humble room.

The youngest played, the gray grandmother spun,Her daughter mused, while in the corner's gloom

The great-grandmother bent low in her chair-And strange hot flushes filled the quiet air.

The child: "To-morrow is a holidayAnd I will play along the grassy fields

And run the hills and pluck the fairest budsThat all the flower covered meadow yields;

I'll sing, and walk upon the brooklet's shores,"0, in the distance how the thunder roars!

Mother: "To-morow is a holidayAnd all of us will merry be and glad.

I'll deck myself in what I have of best,For life should not be always bleak and sad

The sun shines bright for e'en the darkest san+i "And comning nearerfleraw. •-d'nollday.

.ere's no such thing as holiday for maMy fate's to spin and cook the daily meal,

For life is work and solitude and drear.It's well for those who may do as they please."See the quick lightning flashing through the trees.

The great-grandmother slowly turns sad specks;"A holiday to-morrow and the tomb

All wide agape for me. What's earth but careAnd woe where nothing breaks the joyless gloom i

And why should I yet linger in the world?"Great God! The lightning's bolts upon them hurled.

They do not see nor hear the awful flameThat lights the chamber with a noontide glow.

The dlaghters of four generations lieAll dead together, smitten by one, blow.

Four lives thus ended by the lightning's ray-This their to-morrow, this their holiday.

Difference in Sponges.

There are very many people who can-not tell the difference between "Turkeycups" and common reef sponges, andthey are astounded at the difference inprice. They are asked $8 for what theythink they can get just as good fortwenty-five cents. There are spongesfrom Florida called sheep's wool, which,in the opinion of many buyers, are asgood, although much cheaper, for allpractical purposes as the silk ones. Theyare used mainly for washing carriages,although they make a good bathingsponge. Reef sponges come from Cubaand Nassau. Turkey cups from aroundthe islands of the Archipelago. Sheep'swool and reef sponges come in ten,twenty and forty pound bales, and thefinest of the former, known as RockIsland goods, sell wholesale at from $2.81to $3.15 per pound. The Turkey cupsare sorted at London and Paris into threequalities and sent to us in bags. Theyare sold by the piece.-Boston Globe.

Just a Difference of Opinion.

The artists are always finding fault, inevery clime and country, with the workof the local " hanging committee."Never was an artist who did not claim,if tpy of his work was exhibited in anexhibition, that the unfortunate "hang-ing committee" had dwarfed his effortby hanging it in the worst possible place.At an exhibition in this city a certainartist had a work accepted and was re-quested by the hanging committee to visitthe gallery and pick out his own place.

H•ardlly Courteous.

During the epidemic of influenza inone of our cities a gentleman who wassuffering acutely from it went downtol n one morning, and on the way metat least a dozen sympathetic friends.At the twelfth encounter his patiencewas exhausted.

"'Have you the prevalent cold?" In-quired his twelfth assailant, a burly.good natured man.

"Yes." said the invalid, captiously; "1have. Have you the prevalent sympa-thy?"

The retort was hardly courteous, andthe man himself felt ashamed of it after-ward, but at the moment it seemed to dohim good.--Youth's Companion.

Eat More Fruit.

Meat three times a day is more thanaverage down town dwelling human na-ture can endure. Functional disturb-ances of the liver, gall stones, renal cal-culi, diseases of the kidneys. dyspepsia,headache, tits of ill temper or of theblues, irritability and general absence ofthe joy of life are largely due to an ex-cess of meat and other highly concen-trated food. What shall we eat? Wereply, eat more tood.-Medical Classics.

It is believed that the use of smoke-less powder by armies will result in mak-ing military operations much more difli-cult than they are now. The absence ofsmoke and the reduced noi-ms of the de-tonations will scarcely allow of march-ing by the sound of the cannon. In orderto get an idea of the situation on a bat-tie field it will be necessary to examineit directly from some elevated point.
