It seems to be the case, however, that the "three score and ten" limit of Holy Writ no longer marks the boundary of activity in these later days. Knowledge of sanitary laws and their scientific ap plication may have something to do with this condition of affairs, or the theory may be ad .-anced that existence lias lengthened with the decrease of dueling anil national combats. Peace, it is said, has its victories as well as war, and perhaps length of Jays is one of the trininplis of tranquillity. In any event the established fact is this: No state of the Union is without one or more cen tenarians, and inarly every common wealth can boast scores of people who have lived through eight decades, and still continue with zeal and capability the avi cations of a younger manhood. Among these hale and stirring octo geuarians may be mentioned Rev. Will- HORACE F. PATTERSON. iam Slocum, the hermit minister of Rhode Island, who lives alone in a forest near Exeter, preaches each Sunday with a tree stump for a pulpit and tha sky for a roof, marries or buries his few parish ioneis as occasion demands and enjoys his comparative solitude with all tho zest of a lover cf nature. He has ex pounded the doctrines of the Baptist church for sixty years, and declares that he will not "k;t loose the grip on life and the gospel" until he roaches the century mile! post of existence. Another minister whose pulpit career extends 1 ' er six decades is Rev. Peter Ilavrinaiis j-istor of St. M-iry's church at Troy, N Y His ago is 81. and he is said to be tiv oldest Catholic priest in America. Born 1:1 Holland he was ded icated by parents to n religious Ufa when scai'-lv more than an infant. He was iih'.hiiHl in 110, and entered on his long u:id useful pastorate at Trof in 18-10. A third preacher who fought evil for over sixty years died the other day, and was viouhm".! by a widely scattered and cosmopolitan congregation. There was sorrow at ni'iny a tropic port anil arctic whaling sir.! inn as well when the uc-w.i went abroa 1 that Fatuer Walker was no more. In hi.i time the old man had preached to three generations of sailors of all climes, of nil colors and of all faiths. His Floating Chnrch of Our Saviour for Seamen at New York city was through many years a h-iven of rest fur weary mariners, who found in t'.ie gray haired "soul pilot." its they called him. not only a spiritual adviser but a stalwart pro- JfnOE AMASA J.

He came to America soon alterwaiil, and save for a brief residence in tho west, lived out his al lotted time at New York, busily engaged iu carrying out planj for tho present and futuie welfare of tho hard working and mucU a bused sailor man.

TT TJRSDAY, SEPTEMB ?R. 55, pi jsed the sixtieth anniversary of hU ordination. A hero, not of religion, but of politics and war, is Horace F. Patterson, a ven erable resident of Providence, R. L Si sty years ago ha won fame as leader of the Democracy of "Little Rhody," and tho issue on which he triumphed wis tho demand that taxes should be levied to support the public schools. With that as the leading plank in the platform Mr. Patterson's party carried every borough in the state. The old gmtlman "came out strong" long after ward in an entirely different role. Dur ing the civil war he found himself one day in a small fort at Nicholasville, Ky., v.'ith only a handful of men, while a good sized Confederate force was camped not far away. From morning until night Patterson, at the head of his small band, marched round and round the hill, cre ating the impression that a big army oc cupied the earthworks. Ho saved his command and gained great credit for his strategy. Now at tho age of 8-i he fights his battles o'er again, and particularly enjoys retelling the narrative of his ex ploits in ISiJO, when he put through the school tux measure and established the educational system of his state on an en lightened basis. A giant of the law who recently passed away was Judge Aniasa J. Parker, of Albany, N. Y. He was born in 1807, and when he died, like others men tioned in this article, had just completed an active career of sixty years. He was a prominent figure in politics, but his reputation rests chiefly on his triumphs at the bar. Matthew Hale declares he was the most completely equipped law yer he ever met, and at the same time a model of courtesy in forensic debate. Says Bishop Doane: "He was young in his old days because of the freshness of good sympathies and kindly interests in life. And he was what we call 'old fashioned' always since I knew him in his courteousness and dignity of speech and bearing." He stayed .iu harness to the last, and those who knew him assert that "he never lost a friend or made an enemy." These are but a few of the many ex amples that might be cited of men whose active business or professional lives span the period of sixty years. It seems as il longevity is the lot not of the idlers but of the workers, and that healthy activity of brain and body brings reward in length of days. It is Longfellow who sings: Cttto learned Greek at eighty; Sophocles rote his Riand (Etlipus, and Suuouides Bore oft the prize of verse from his compeers When each hud numbered more thau four scor years; And Theophrastus at four score and ten Had but beuu hi Characters of Mon.

In the western states or territories he would doubtless take first rank among "boom ers" and build up the section in which he was interested despite all obstacles. As it is he is doing great things for the country of which he is the chief execu tive. Not only is he developing the ag ricultural and mineral resources of Ven ezuela, but ho has also set on foot at immigration scheme that, if successful ueans great things for the republic. President Palacio was born forty-eight years ago and received his education at the University of Caracas. He chose law as a profession, and became doc tor in jurispru dence attached to the judiciary in the federal dis trict courts of V e n ezuela. Af terward he prac ticed law on his own account un til the advent of the A 1 c a ntara a d mi nistration. PRESIDENT palacio. when he held two very important posts. Later on he was exiled, but returned to assume tho presidency, having been the unanimous choice of congress for that office. The Editor Held His Own. In the foyer of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, the other evening August M. Moore, editor of a dramatic paper called The Hawk, had about as lively a time as ever fell to the lot of a newspaper publisher in a mining camp. First ho was assailed by James Whistler, tho eccentric artist, who wielded a club with some vigor till Moore knocked him down and the manager of the theatre ejected him. While the editor was re pairing damages a second man struck him from behind. The new assailant was also worsted. He proved to be an actor named William Horace Lingard. After winning his second victory Mr. Moore was permitted to enjoy the per formance in peace, no other aggrieved person taking up the task of trying to "lick the editor." A Warrior In Retirement. At tho age of 63 Maj. Gen. Alfred H. Terry is living in retirement at New Ha ven, Conn. His health is by no means good, years of activa campaigning hav ing broken down a constitution original ly strong. He went into the army a vol unteer, and at the close of the civil war held a commission as brigadier general in the regular service. His friends say that Crook failed to co-operate with liim in the wars against the Sioux be cause he was not a West Pointer, but the assertion is not fully substantiated. Gen. Terry is a bachelor, and his house hold is presided over by a sister. Con necticut people feel proud of the old warrior, and some of the more enthusi astic of his neighbors desire tc see lv.in occupy a seat in the United States lenate.
