R SO N PATHS OF A FANOUS POET ‘Memories That Haunt the Precincts of 8toke Pogis, Where Gray Lived and Lies.

Ho was a_litte, dainty man, with silvercd hair and a rounded paunci—his most strik- ing physical characteristicif his fine, pensize blue eyes wero not beaming upon you, His clothing was faultiess, Bis manuers wers courtly. His very pensiveness was benigo- ant and restful, He seemed to exhale an aroma of musk and migaonette; and, as I used to look at him for an eighteenth cen- tury remainder, the grotesque notion always eamo that his melancholy sighs of pleasure or disapproval, as he fed upon the musty tomes before him, could thoy bo given phys feal aspect, would conform to the pearly lavender of his ample stock and spotless trousers. By and by 1 missed him. had gone riot fis little paunch nd overcome his stomach with ROUL Or s hing, and the dainty and learned littie oid bookworm had turned from the tombs of the Astor and Morcantile to tho ondless tomb ot eternity. [was sure that here was another G Yes, he had been, £ found, suvported in acadomy, college, uni- versity and in travol by the thrift and trade of two women who blindly belioved that in timo he would astouish the world with the product of his gentus. Like Gray, he never earned o penny; his unconscious winsome- ness conquereid all; his learning was vast, and his indolence was astounaing. He had spent a lifetime in exhausting the historic, scientific and philosophic researches and vroduct of others, He left tons of begin- uings of great endeavors. If he haa beon forced into country environment, as was Gray nt Stoke Pogis, he might have given the world an idyl or an elegy, and then the likeness would havo been complete, Tho , Bookworm, The very accident of rural retiracy compelled or induced Thomas Gray to creato the one bit of verse which gave him placs amune the immortals, Krom 1727 at the ago of 10, whon his mother placed bim in Eton, and where, tradition has it, he at once began ty versify, until be expired of inertla and gout in the armsof Dr. James Brown, master of Pembroke_college, Cam- bridge, on the 30th ot July, .771, a period of forty-four years, he was as continuously in an atmosphere of books as auy man who ever lived. For his day and time he was the most variously and penetratingly learned man 10 Burops. He was practically mad for and from book knowledge. His “devoiion to research seemed an endless intoxication of acquire- ment fortho thing or fact encompassed, rather than tho healthful ncquisition of knowledgo for the uses to which it may be wisely put. Precisely as with thousands of so-called scholars in our own time, o allowod study and learning-getting to become a disease, instoad of making it subserviont to wise liv- ing and noble accomplishment. You could fill a scorc of volumes with his erudite notes, his wonderful indices, his exact and beautiful commentaries upon the works of others less learned and consequontly more croativo minds, fragments of stately trage- dies, sertations upon art and pawnting, Alcaie frigments, Latin *Yfincs,” Greek epi- grams. Pindaric’ odes, brilliant dead ago “infitations” ana finished whatnots. But you could not make one thin little volume of 100 pages ccmfortably filled with what Thomas Gray’s great genius left to posterity for its own monument. The thirty-two stanzas of the ‘‘Elegy,” the brief Norse em called ‘“Tne Fatal Sisters,”” “The 'd.”” “On a Distant Prospect of Eton Col- lege,” and perhaps & hall dozen sonnets, altogether ~not 1,000 lines, comprise all that would have ever interested the world at’ large, which after all is the final arbitor of eitber true poetry or prose, except for Gray’s lovable, intoresting, erratic and often curious personality. Whero Gray Lived, It is no doubt also true that had he not written the “Elegy’ his place in the biog- raphies would have been no more than “Thomas Grav, erudite annotator, accom- plished translator ard sometime companion of Horace Walpole.” Bocause his surpassing genius, through the blessed wcident of raral inspiration, for ounce burst the fetters of sodden bookish enslavoment and its conse- quent physicul indolence, he attained famo and left us our most poriect revelation of tenderest omotions and introspections to tho universal buman heart. The malignancy of Johoson is quite forgiven for tho one honest sentenco he ever wrote about Gray: “Had Gray written often thus,” said the cantank- erous master of words, “it had been vain to blame and useless to praise him.” For theso and other reasons the one place wn all the world, Stoke Pogis, which prompted a singlo incomparablo example of what Gray wight have been to literature had be been shut away from the deadening influence of Cambridge books, and perhaps compelied to his own living, berowes doubly inte Besidoes, the poet re- sided here for frequont intervals from 1742 017 H1s grave 1s here. A stupendous monument stands almost within sight of his old home, ‘I'ne very chureh in which he worshiped ana the churchyard rendered dear to the hearts of all men by his melodi- ous, mouruful eloey remaiu today just as he saw and knew them in life. The place, too, b some bistorie importance, and tho manor of Stoke PPark was ouce the home of the de- scendants of Willinm Penn, many of whom are buried in the family vault in the nave of the mossy old chureh, But bottor thun all else, vou will find the placo a marvelous rovelation of the olezy, as ou have already foltthe elegy to bo a porfect nterpretation of those exquisite emotions which only the ravest sceno and associative condition can fmpart. About Stoke Pogls, Stoke Pogis 1s a thinly settled village or o thickly settied sylvan parishof Buckingham- shire, not ovor twenty-tive miles wost of London and about two miiles north of the railwoy station of Slough, which s in turn the same distance north of Windsor and Castle. Tt derives its unpoetic name from Amicia de Stoke, who brought the manor in marriage to & certain Robert Pogis, a knight of the shiro in the twelfth century. In the time of Edward 1IL the ostate passed into the possession of SirJobn Molyns, He had a lensa from the king to fortify and em- buttle & wansion here, auna it was ho who built the picturesque old church made fumous by Gray's elegy, The manor descondea through female helrs to the great earls of HMunting- don, one of whom built the manor house early inthe roign of “hzabeth. Then Sir Edward Coke nossessed it and sumptuously tertained Elizabeth here, Romains of this lendid manor house ure still standing a fow rods northwest of the old caureh, Aslde from 1its poeuc assoclations the MADOr came o have peculisr interest to Americans when, in 1700, it was purchased 1rom the novle family of Cobham by Thomas Penn, second son of the great founder of Penusvlvania by his sevond wife, Haunah Callowhill. oo grave of VWilllam' Pean 1s but nine miles distant, beside the quaine old uaker meeting house at ,Jordan’ of Penu's descendants the family line of this son, who bave sinoe decoused uro irlog tn the Poun fawmily vault in the old ke Pogis church. Thomas Penn's oldest son, the last John Peun aud graudsou of the founder, was *a virtuoso, builder aud orvamenterof fine resi- dences™ and also au author. He built the it house in Keonsington gardens, aud in 750 the present noole mansion of Stoke hall, which stauds @ fow hundred yaras to the Lh of the church and the 01l Stoke manor At the time of Cieay's residence at uwm Stoke bail was tue home of a8 Gri am, whose autics to securs ac- Thely bl Wi tons hved Wi his mother and aunt in West Knd ocottage, about a mile distant, are preserved in the ro- mantic incidents 0 telicitously related in Gray's facetious poem of the ‘‘Long Story." John Penn's English Mome, The now Stoke hall was built by John Penn from desigas by Wyatt. [t is chiefly of brick, stuccoed, and comprises largo square conter and two wings, The entrance front is ornamented by a colonnado of ten Doric columns, approached by imposing flights of staps, leading to tho famous oval central Marble hall. The south front, also udorned with a colonnade, has tweive fluted Dorie columns, and s 196 feet in length, Many visitors here mistake the old manor Bouse at the notth of the choroh for Gray's former homs. It is & bsautiful and pic- turesque half ruin occupied by the keoper o f Stoke park. Its chimneys are the largest 1 have seen in auy ola Eoglish manor houso, aud there arc undoubtedly today more bri in these ivy coverad mementoss of old-timo cuoor than were originally required in the entire construction of the valls, John Penn built the modest, yet noted mansion of Solitude, still standing on the bank of the Schuylkill, opposite Fairmour, in Philadelphia. Much of the revenuo from remaining Pounsylvania *‘proprietary” inter- ests was expended nere. Vast sums were used upon new Stoke hall and its library, statuacy and paintings, Ho also rescued from oblivion the actual burial place of Gray, by placing the memorial slab against the church wall, banoath the vestry window. and erected at his own oxpenso the hugo monument to the poet which dominates all the slumberous scenn. On the death of John Penn, Stoke manor was inherited by tis vounger brotuer, Gran- villo Penn, who died at Stokein 1841, He was an author and was adumitted to be one of the most learned Figlish laymen of his time. His oldest son, Granville John Penn, not only “restored” but practically rebuit Gray’s house, West End cottage, on the West Lnd rond, 1t was converted into a sumptu- ous [lizabethan mansion with overy accessory of ornament and veauty. fn 1550 it wus sold 0 a gentleman named Darby; but was afterwards parchased by Mr. A. Allbausen, whoso family and heirs still possess it and with it the right of use of the Gray family pew intho southwest corner of the south aisle of the old Stoke Pogis church. Extinction of the mily, A curious illustration of the decadeuce of rroat familios, as woll as of vast fortunes even in Eogland, 18 found in the final ex- tinetion of this, the most eminent brancn of the Peun family, and the diversion of their onco great estates. Iverv one is faminar with the escheating of Willlam Peun’s American possessions, in which tne ‘“estato of the late proprieturios was vestod in tho commonweaith,” the payment by Pennsyi- vania ot £130,000 sterling to the devisees and legatees, *‘in remembrance of tho enter- prising spirit of the foundsr,”” and tho granting by the Englisa pariiament, in 1790, of an annuity of £4000 'to ‘us heirs und descendants. Al this was in addition to the rvich English pos- sessions of the Penns, which in- cluded the manor of Stoke. And yet on March 20, 1867, Granville Joan Penn, lord of the manor of Stoke, diea in his chair with an unsigned will in his hands, All his prop- erties were inherited by his brother,Thomas. I'bat gentleman, who was in clerical ovdors and a man of extraordinary learning, was subsequent|y declaved insane and incapable of managing his estates. These passed into the toutacles of that great Knglish octopus, the chancery court, und finally, after tho dedth of the unfortu- nate Uhomnas, got into the possession of William Stuart, gentleman, of Aldenham abbay, in the shire of Herts. Today the Penos of Stwoke Pogis are no mors. The romping children of a country squire have banished the tender wraiths that peopled tho howe and haunts of Gray at West ad cot- tage, while the lord of the manor—whose park keeper uow uses us a farm house the ancient home of the Cobhams, the Cokes and the lordly house of Hastings, where (Queen Elizabeth was royally entertained,and whose own present princely habitation 'was once the palatial seat of the Penns—is a maker of matehes in London ! Still no one can coma to the sweet old piace without being touched by the tenaer spirit of repose which broods not aloue upon Stoke Pogis church and churchyard: upon the entire Stoke manor, where, half hiaden beneath sylvan shades, appears tho very place where the poet lived and sang, the picturcsque old ruin where onco disported iords und ladies, and even rayalty 1tsclf and the grauder seat of the Penns; but upon the entire listoric parish, eresting Environmen Allits environment strangely stirs the heart ana memocy. Over to the south is royal Windsor, through whose successive epochs the whole vast book of English his- tory may be written, from the Vioctorian era to the time of Arthur, his knights and the Table Round. Miiton wrote his “L'Allegro” at Horton, just below. Cooper's uill, consecrated to the museof Denham, 1s nearer still, Herschel mado his first great discoveriesin astronomy in thatold red brick mansion just bevoud Slough on the nignway te Windsor. Edmund Burke and Edmund Waller lived at noar Beaconsficld. Not two hours’ walk distant is the grave of William Penn, aud quite asnear are the famous Burn- ham beeches, discovered by Gray himself when upon his tirst visit to the rezion which his geulus was destined 1o make one of the bestloved spots on earth. T visited these as will all who come to this spot where the “Elezy” was writtea. But no pen can again 80 deliciously tell of Burnham Beeches, and the languid, lazy, easy going Gray himself, as dia Gray’s in this bit from one of his charming levters to his friend, Horice Walpole: **My unclo is a great hunter in imagina- tion; his dogs take up every chairin the house. o I am forced to stand at the present writing; and though the gout forbids his galloping after them in the tield, yet he con- tinues still to regale n1s ears and nose with their comfortable noise and stink. He holds moe mighty cheap, I perceive, for walking when I should ride, and reading whon I should hunt. My comfort amid all this is, that I bave at o distance of half a mile, through a green laue, a forest (tho vulgar call itacommon), all my own, at least as 20od s so, for 1 spy no human thingin it but myself. 1It1s a iittie chnos of mountains and precipices: mouutains, 1t is true, that do not uscend mueh above the clouds, nor are the declivities quite so amazing us Dover cliff; but just such hills a8 peonle who love their necks as well us I do may adver:ture to climb, and crags that ive the eys as much pleasure as if they wero more dangerous. Both vale and hill are covered with most venerable beeches, and otner very reverend vegetables that, itks most other ancient pao plo, ure always dreaming out their old stories tothe winds. Atthe footof one of these squats we (il peuseroso), and there [ grow to the trunk for a whole morning.

A Scotsmun Writes Entertminlogly of Omahi and the West, A writerin the Scotsman, Kdinburgh, in an article on the material progress of the west, makes the following iuteresting com- mevt: Denver, in Colorado, und Owmaba, in Nebraska, offer still more remarkable illus- trations of the abounding energy of the west, T'be former bas sprung up, within a decaae ortwo, to & city of 150,000 iuhabitants, Omana is as populous, although it held oniy 0,000 souls in 1850; “it covers uu srea of nearly twenty-five square miles, and has an estimated anuual valuation of £46,400,000; ivhas the third largest live stock market and packing business ia the country; it is 1n the midst of a region now dotted over with flour wills, with u daily eapacity of 40,000 barrels; 1t has 103 miles of electric and otber car liues, and is the ceuter of thirteeu railroads.” Oue siagular feature is to 08 noted about this magical progress in tho west. As in ©old communities, the growtn is in the towns —io certain definite populous centers highly favored by geographical position aud other clroumstauces —ratner tban in the country 4s & whole. Take the leading case of all— Coicago and thestate of Illois. Betweon i58) and 1890 the population incroased by 705,000; iu the same period the population of tho state outsiue the city declined by 48,000, “There is,” says Consul Sadier, *'a constant tendency all over the country to flock to the towns, whioh seem 40 be benefited thoreby, and to shift from the agricul- tural districts whors improvements in la- bor-saving machinery enable a smaller number of hands to do the same work. Also, the additions which are now being made from without to the American population, and especially to the great towns of the west, are no longer made up ochiefly of English-speaking people, Last yearst0,000 {immigrants were landed at the principal vorts of the Union, an incraase of about 100,00 over 1800. O these 123,401 camo from Gormany, 104,000 from the czar's donin- ions—Russia and Poland. Austria-Huneary contributed in round nambers 70,000: Italy 08,000; England and Wales and Norway and Sweden camo in almost abreast with 52,000, and Scotland sent 12,000 At tho port of New York, Consul General Lano Booker roports that last year the Russian contingent exceeded for tho first time thut from Germauy; it numbered 83,552, against 70,496, Americans complain of tho inferior- ity fu Intelligence, in education andin physi- eal and moral qualities of the new olements that are being added to the population, and thoy are undoudbtedly producing ereat changss in the constitution, character and tendencios of the American people. Chi- cago is more & Gorman than an American city; it contained in 1800, 382,058 persons of German, 202,468 of American, and 215,534 of Irish birth, The English born inhabitants oniy numbered 785: thoy camea long way behind Boheman, Poles, Swodes and Norwegians, Milwau- kee, on the other hand, is mainly a Scandi- navian town.

THE STUDY OF MARS, [Written for The Bes.] In tho observations of Mars it Las been as- sumed that the dark areis soon are water and tho rod areas land. Tals ‘may be so. And thero aro other features seen, among which are certain lines, single ana double, which Schiaparelli cluims to ba als upon Mars, Judeing from terrestrial analogies there are certain facts that should not be lost to sight. In tho earth’s atmosphore the air currents laden with moisturo that are of low degros of temperature are woli known to ba white, seen almost any day in tho high or cirrus clouds, The air carronts, laden with moisture, that are of & high degreo of temperature, are well known to bedark. The air currents that possess a slight degroe of moisture, but beavily laden with cosmical or other dust, or volcanic or other smoxe, are well known to be of red color, seen at, almost any brignt worning or ovening when looking at the rising or satting sun or moon, From these fucts it 1s not far-fotched to claim that the light areas scen upon Mars are frozou clouds, the dark aveas rain clouds, and that the ved aroas belong to air filled with cosmical or other forms of dust. Prof. Willium Pickering writes of the rapid changes seen upon Mars as follows: *'When the snow was melting a dark chan- nel suddenly appcared and shortly disap- peared, and in & few days the norihern sea of Macs eularged, or its sonthern shore be- came darker,” concluding that *‘vhis can not be explained by aerial effects.” I would say we have water pouring into the earth’s arctic avea, but it does not do so suddenly ana suddenly disappear. Nor does our Arctic sea enlarge. An ebserver from Mars should sen our ocesns to be blue, gnd our land should look either whiteor green, Whoever is a resident of the Missouri valley cau notice that thers are atmospheric currents that blow from the scuth into the arctic area, and I dare say the arctic area flils up. And this movement is more of the “'sudden” character noticed on Mars than 1f the movement was due to moving waters. Aud I have not tho least doubt but at such times tho arctic snows melt, aud that the southern shores of the arctic basin bave warm gark clouds. Then it sounds singular to tell of a ‘“lake that is now single, then double, then disap- pears. An observer of the prairie area of our continent, noting the facts soen in our atmos- phere, can at times see atmospheric currents, now sincle, thea doublo, and after a time these streams of air will change and the cur- rents will commence to double up and form themselves into a thuncer-head cloud and re- sult in a thunder sterm. There are no facts observed upon Mars that have not this analogy in our own atmosphere, and I doubt if an observer on Mars could see through the alleged 200 miles of deoth of earth’s atmos- phere aud see the earth’s surface. The newspaper press of our country has a duty to perforu. to not let the closing dacade of the nineteenth century go out without raising u voice against the continuance of unnecded error. The greatest blight ecver recorded against science was tbat the Prolemuic svstem of astronomy held sway in error for eighteen centuries. 1.
