JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Something About the Poet Who
Celebrated His 80th Birth
day Yesterday.
From the New York Herald, nth llec.
Of the half dozen most noted poets
of our own land Longfellow published
his noble ‘‘Ultima Thule’ 1 at 74, und
lived a year after to hear bis mental
coinage commended. Emerson did
not die until nearly 80, and Bryant,
being sustained by a sense of re
sponsibility for a newspaper as well
as by the muse, reached the ripe age
of 84 years.
Among the three who remaiu,
Lowell, at nearly 70, is handsome,
more cheerful and more vigorous
than tin- average man at 50; Holmes
promises to outlive his own historic
"One Hoss Shay," and Whittier cel
ebrated his 80th hTtltday yesterday.
Vet Whittier was not a man to.
whom the most reckless life insurance
agent would have promised length of
days. Although horn in the farming
region of New England and accustom
ed to outdoor exercise and labor, his
physique always was delicate, and
iiis mind was ever robbing his body
of strength. Although no man could
be more in sympathy with what is
genuine in the progressive spirit of
the age, probably no man detests the
bustle of a great city or tlie rattle of
a railway train more intensely than
Whittier. . Among prominent Amer
icans lie enjoys the distinction of not
having been in New York since so
long that bis dearest friends (An
scarcely remember the date. So little
is lie seen among tlie busy haunts of
men that many of his admirers be
lieve him a recluse, the truth being
that his apparent seclusion is due on
ly to nervous inability to endure con
fusion.
Mr. Whittier's present home is at
Danvers, Mass. Nearly fifty years
ago, after as eventful a life in jour
nalism as any man of equal age at
the present day has experienced, he
sold his successful farm at Haverhill
anil movfcd, with his mother to Ames-
bury, Mass. The exterior of his
house was as severely plain as any
of his (Quaker brethren could have
desired, but his study is remembered
by scores of his friends as one of the
sunniest, coziest retreats in New Eng
land. Here he intended to pass tlie
remainder of his days, but a few years
ago the marriage and removal of his
niece, who had been his housekeeper,
influenced him to make his perma
nent home with some relatives at
Danvers, although he spends much
of every summer at the Isle of Shoals,
the New Hampshire mountains and
iiis old home at Amesbury.
The poet’s home well befits Us no
ted occupant. The house is large,
antique, plain, yet imposing, the style
being that of some noted houses of
the revolutionary period. A broad,
lofty front, with porticos on both
sides and extending to tlie eaves,
gives an aspect of distinction, to
which broad wings add materially.
Although within the boundaries of a
busy village and within an houHs
journey of the modern Athens, Whit
tier's home seems as far from the,
world as if it were in the depths of
the Rocky Mountains. This seola-
siou is partly because tlie house is at
tlie extreme edge of tlie village, off
the road to any place in particular,
but also because the house is skilfully
screened by trees.
It is worthy of note, however, that,
strain tlie eye never so earnestly, it.
is impossible to see from any portion
of the poet’s home a mill, a house
wit li if French roof, or even one
of the architectural abominations
knowu as a “stylish modern subur
ban residence." The nearest house
is a large, gambrel-roofed, small-win
dowed reminder of ancient New Eng
land; and beyond this, in the village
cemetery, are the last earthly homes of
some forefathers of the hamlet who
started in search of the celestial city
two centuries ago, leaving screed anil
cymbal, over which the lichens are
quietly spreading the mantle of obliv
ion. The further views from Gak
Knoll are hounded by hills, all so dis
tant that, look whichever way he will,
the poet sees a great deal of earth,
with no handiwork of man to ob
scure any part of heaven.
In personal appearance Whittier is
remarkable. Tali, and as straight as
one of the young pines in Iiis favorite
grove, it seems impossible that he is
about at the end of four score years.
The crown of his head is bald, and
his hair is glossy silver, but his great
black eyes arc as clear, bright and
piercing as if he were in the prime of
life. He walks with the deliberation
and dignity of age, but without a sug
gestion of physical feebleness, and
wliile he remains standing his head is
as finely poised as a soldier's. The
straightness of bis figure is the more
noticeable on account of his Quaker
dress, the cout of which fits him us
neatly and closely as if it were the
conventional “swallow tall.” When
seated and listening, his head drops
slightly forward and aside—a pose
which seems peculiar to poetic na
tures the world over. He is a most
appreciative reader of other men’s
books and poems, and talks admira
bly of all good writings, except iiis
own, of which he can scarcely be per
suaded to speak, even to his dearest
intimates.
Mr, Whittier's step is quick and
save for sunken eyes and a quiver of
the under lip he might easily be taken
for a man of sixty. He wears a
Prince Albert coat with a wide black
velvet collar that comes down in
front nearly to his waist allowing a
view of his black waistcoat, white
shirt front, big turn-down collar and
dark tie. A piece of silk tape is
around his neck and serves as a guard
for his watch, carried in his upper
left hand waistcoat pocket, and for
gold framed glasses, which fall at his
side. Low shoos, gray woolen stock
ings and roomy pepper and salt
trousers make up bis wearing appar
el. He wears a full white heard and
and no moustache.
SENATORIAL RESEMBLANCES.
New York WorM.
Wade Hampton has shaved off his
whiskers, and with them has gone his
resemblance to Kaiser Wilhelm. His
rosy face looks smaller and fatter, and
the only hair upon it is the little
whisks of frosted silver which shine
out under his nose. You would hard
ly know him for the same man, and
his face loses much of its character by
tue change.
Senator Hoar looks like > Greeley,
only better dressed. Cockrell, of Mis
souri. with his long, straggling blonde
beard, his tall frame and his neglige
hair, is the counterfeit presentment
of Uncle Ham, save that his breeches
are not made of the American flag,
nor are they fastened down upon Ills
patent leather hoots by straps. Sen
ator John W. Daniel has the face of
Edwin Booth, save that the nose is a
trifle larger and the forehead broad
er. His lmir Is brown, and his eyes
are gray. Senator Joe Hrown looks
like a Jewish patriarch or the typical
Mormon, but his words show him to
be neither. He is up to the times,
and his gray head is full of practical
brains. Oullom has often been com
pared with Abraham Lincoln, and lie
is fully as tall and nearly us angular.
His resemblance, however, comes
from his characteristic gesture and
expression, and some of the stories
he tells resemble those of Old Abe.
Senator Cush Davis looks like lien
Butler, and the two have been taken
for one another. Senator Dolpli, of
Oregon, with his long sable-silver
beard, would make a splendid repre
sentative of Hamlet’s father, and
Senator George Edmunds could
make his fortune by Fitting as a mod
el to painters for pictures of St. Je
rome.
Blair, of New Hampshire, looks
like President Hayes, and he sympa
thises'with him in his temperance i
principles. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, i
Paddock, of Nebraska, and Hutler,
of South Carolina, resemble each otb- j
er and each has a rosy face and a !
gray moustache. Matt Ransom is
handsome, but lie has no counterpart i
in history or public life, and Chase, of
Rhode Island, though he is by no i
means a had looking Quaker, could,
in the words of the old joke, "he wor-'
shipped without breaking the com
mandments.” for he is like no one in j
“the heaven above, and tlie earth |
beneath, or the waters under tlie!
earth.” Senator Colquitt’s smooth, i
statesmanlike face might have stepped |
out of one of the old colonial por
traits, and there is nn air connected
with Senator Harwell's pose which re-:
minds one much of Garfield.
Speaking of beards, Senator Alii- I
son wears a full set of reddish-brown J
whiskers, into which a few gray
strands have crept. They are stiff
and straight, and about two inches;
long. Joe Blackburn’s chief orna- j
inent is a fierce moustache. Blair has
hair of sand and silver all over his |
face. Don Cameron lms a red mous
tache. Joe Brown bus a long, white !
heard. Daniel is smooth shaven, and
Edmunds’ whiskers are as white as
tlie cotton bursting from the pod. .
Eustis, of Louisiana, lias a full heard
of iron-gray. Frye sports a gray j
moustache. George, of Mississippi, I
has blonde whiskers, and Arthur I’.
Gorman keep6 his face as smoothly
shaven now as it waV when he at
tended the sessions of g he Senate as !
a page. Gray, of Delaware, has a i
black moustache, Eugene Hale I
sports a full beard. Islmui G. Harris |
waxes the ends of Iiis long moustache, >
and he looks somewhat like a Chinese
mandarin, save that his" eyes are not :
almonds nor his complexion yellow.
Mandersou wears a brown imperial,
and John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, has
the longest, glossiest, dearest brown
beard in the Senate. Senator Mor
gan's moustache is white. Senator 1
Morrill has side whiskers, and Henry
E. Payne keeps his face as bare as
the crown of Senator Sawyer’s bald j
head.
Senator Stan ford* lias a full beard, ,
and he could probably wish a $10,090
check for every hair in it. Stewart’s I
full whiskers are straw mixed with j
frost, and Stoekbridge has a beard of j
dark gray. John Sherman's whiskers
are stiff and white. George Vest’s I
blonde moustache overhangs his |
mouth, and Senator Walthall lias
glossy brown hair which curls as it
touches Iiis cellar. Matt Quay has a
dark moustache. Pugh, of Alabama,
has sandy whiskers, in which tlie
gray strands are beginning to creep!
Senator Ingalls shaves every day,
and nurses tenderly his little mous
tache and the bit of hair upon his j
chin. Looking them all over and siz- j
ing up their intellectual strength,
the amount of whiskers seem to have !
nothing to do with their amount, of 1
ability, and hud Delilah shaved Samp- [
son instead of cutting his Iviir he would >
probably never have been conquered !
and blinded by the Philistines.
Catarrh originates in scrofulous
taint. Hood's Sursaparilla purities
the blood, and thus permanently cures
catarrh.
GEN. GORDON’S WIFE.
A Woman at Whose Feet the Great*
est of Earth Might Bow.
LaGrangc Reporter: It is witli
real pleasure that the Reporter copies
the tribute of a Northern paper to a
daughter of LaGrange, who, as the
faithful wife of a Southern hero, has
her name ever associated with his
own. Mrs. Gordon was reared in our
town and was a graduate of one of our
colleges. She has always been noted
for her beauty and grace. She was
married here to the gallant young
knight whom she was destined to fol
low in his campaigns and with
whom she was to share the honors of
high civic position. Her father was
the Hon. Hugh A. Haralson, for sev
eral terms the Democratic represeu-
tive in Congress from this district.
An older sister is the wife of Chief
Justice Bleckley, and another mar
ried Hon. James A. Pace, a promi
nent lawyer of Covington. Still
another is the widow of lion. B. H.
Overby, who, many years ago, was
tlie temperance candidate for Gover
nor of Georgia. Tlie Columbus, Ohio,
Dispatch says: “Tlie wife of Gen.
Gordon is one at whose feet
the greatest of earth might bow, and
think it an houor. If ever there
breathed a noble woman, If ever
there lived a devoted wife, that wo
man and that wife is Mrs. John H.
Gordon. From tlie time her husband
entered tlie war to the day he emerged
from its sufferings, its dangers and its
glories, she was ever at Iiis side. In
tlie thick of battle she was near by to
watch him: in tlie hour of desponden
cy she was there to console and en
courage Him; in all his awful suffer
ings, she was his faithful nurse and
best physician; and in the hours of his
triumphs she was tlie first and luHt to
congratulate anil to cheer him. Sure
ly, greater wifely love and devotion
than this no angel ever recorded.
Truly, to possess such love and devo
tion is to enjoy heaven’s highest
boon. Long may she live to enjoy
her brightest reward, her husband’s
grateful love; and long may he live to
reward her.”

ATLANTA COLORED UNIVERSITY.
A Reporter of the Constitution In
terviews the President.
“1 have come from t he Constitution
to get a few points about the Atlanta
university. How many pupils have
you?”
“Four hundred and seventy-five,”
said the president, with % a tinge of
pride in his pleasant tone.
“Mixed school, is it not?”
“Yes, sir. We have about one hun
dred boys and one hundred girls as
boarders, and we have one hundred
anil fifty hoys anil one hundred and
twenty five girls as day scholars,"
said the president, after the manner
of a man who is slowly working a sum
in his head.
“1 would like to,” he continued,
“show you through the buildings anil
grounds.”
“Thanks. Not now. I have not
time tills afternoon.”
“I mean,” and the President quick
ened his voice, “1 mean when the pu
pils are at their tasks. It is after
school hours now. We open at half-
past eight in the morning and close
at half-past three in the afternoon,”
and t he president paused and Almost
involuntarily the two men moved
slowly toward the door.
“By thi“ way,” said the reporter,
suddenly turning, have you any white
pupils in attendance?’’
This was spoken as if the reporter
had forgottou something. The presi
dent deliberated almost a moment
and then replied as if forcing himself
to talk:
“Oh, yes, we have—let me see —live,
I think. Four of them are the chil
dren of the professors in the universi
ty and live out here. The fifth is the
son of the Rev. Mr. Kent, the mission
ary preacher who lias charge of the
Colored Congregational church.” 1
“He is a white man, is lie not?”
“Oh, yes.”
“All these white children are now
attending school here?”
“Yes, but there are fewer whites in
attendance now than there were dur
ing the last session of the legisla
ture.” * * * *
“You art) not offering inducements
t'J white people to attend the univer
sity, are you?”
"Oh, no," replied the president,
fixing his eyes on tlie ground and
tulicing slowly, “we are not. We are
going along iy a conservative way.
We r Have only the white pupils to
whom I have alluded and they will
reniMn where they are. We do not
propose to turn them out in order to
get tliat state appropriation of $8,000.
If we should turn them out for fear
of forfeiting that appropritAion, we
should lose a larger sum of money
which is raised for the support of this
institution at the north and probably
forfeit these grounds which were
given to the Atlanta university by
the government.”
“Suppose,” suggested the report
er, "you should lose the $8,000 appro
priated by Georgia?”
“Then we would endeavor to make
up the deficiency by raising more
money at the north. Wo would be
forced to pursue that course, you
see.”
“Yes, I see,” anil the reporter bade
th® president adieu and started on
the return trail. .

A HARVARD MEMORY.
Tragic Sequel of a College Boy’a
Prank in the War Days.
From tlie Chicago Mull.
One of the brightest men that ever
attended Harvard College was Sum
ner Paine, sou of Henry W. Paine, a
leading lawyer of Boston. Paine al
ways led his class at the college, as he-
had done before at the Boston Latin
School, without much study or effort.
It was during the war, and just be
fore the battle of Gettysburg, that one
of the professors of the college, who
was much disliked by the students by
reasou of bis arrogant wanuer, was
about, to be married. The evening of
the wedding Paine, headed by a band
of students, who, just as the profes
sor was about to go to the house of
the bride, at which the wedding was
to take place, locked him in his room,
and prevented him from being on
band at tlie appointed time, in conse
quence of which the wedding ceremo
ny was postponed. Through a win
dow the professor recognized Paine
among iiis tormentors, and the next
day preferred charges against him.
The faculty was loath to discipline-
Paine, as they admired the young
man anil his ability, and partook to a
great extent of the students’ dislike
of the professor. It was necessary
for tlie preservation of discipline that
some notice should be taken of the
matter and much against their wishes,
they expelled Paine with the under
standing that when he apologized he
oould be reinstated. Paine was over
sensitive und keenly felt Ills disgrace.
He at onoe went to Governor An
drew, who was an old family friend,
who gave him a commission in a regi
ment at the front of Gettysburg.
Paine left for his post of duty at once,
arrived at Gettysburg the day the
lighting began, and fell mortally
wouuded within a few hours of his ar
rival.
Butohery in Lee-Nathan Reid Mur
ders His Family and Suicides.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 27.—In Lee coun
ty in this state last Sunday night a
Ilian named Nathan Reid, who did
not live happily with Iiis wife, and
whose disposition tiu.il become sullen
and iiioi-os *, brutally murdered Iiis
whole family and then committed sui
cide. Some time in the evening lie
sent a half grown boy who lived with
him after the doctor. When the doc
tor and the boy returned they found
the cabin a heap of ruins, and in then*
the charred bodiqp of Reid’s wife and
their six children. Further search of
the premises disclosed Reid’s body in
a well with his throat cut. His knife
was found beside the well, and it is
supposed that he killed his wife and
children, set lire to the house and
then killed himself.

The Old Dominion Never Tire?.
Quite a deal of excitement was cre
ated here to-day by the announce
ment that some one here had drawn
$15,000 in The Louisiana State Lot
tery, and there was a general scruti

Western papers say that Atlanta,
Ga., prohibitionists owe their recent
defeat to their “political intolerance.”
This is about the size of it. The ma
jority of men object to being forced
to do things, even though it he ap

as he does not encroach on the rights
of others, even to tlie extent of going
to tlie “old hoy” if he wants to.—Co
