It was hardly to be expected that the

ing I saw in the private odce of Knox, the hatter, who, by the way, is as much an institation in New York as Trinity Church or

the Postomce, a lithograph printed In 143,

picturing liroadway as it would be when a

then contemplated sptemof elevated railroad was put into practical operation. Many years after that, ai.d several years before Field and his associate got into the company, a man by the came of Gilbert devised a scheme for elevated travel, but nobody made it a success nut 1 Field and hia friends put not only their heads ti work, but shouideistothe wheel and their money with which to grease the axles. As at preeent managed, the elevated roads of New York are a delusion and a snare, an abominable traverse of tbe decencies of life, an apt illustration of what cheek, audacity ani wealth harr essed together can accomplish as against the right of mankind. That a hundred murders are not conmitt&d upon the rail every hour in every day is a matter of wouder, and I look for some terrible catastrophe there, just as certainly as I expect the eun to rise on each succeeding morning. That the time will come when Field and some of the more conspicuous directors will be rooghly handled by an outraged public

and an infuriated gang of defrauded patrons.

I believe to be one of the certainties of the future. All this, however, has nothing to

do with the fact that ICyrns W. Field is a

great man. Another brotner, Stephen J.

Field, sits with dignity, and, many think, with lofty mental attribute and rare moral

courage, upon tne Denen 01 me nignest court known to the lai d, and prior to the dstcovery of Grover Cleveland the name of Stephen Field was upon many serious Democratic lips as that of a iuan fitted to occupy the chair once honored by a Washington, an Adams and a Jackson. David Dudley Field is reputed ta be hard in business affairs, but the clarity of his mental vision, the tremendous energy of his nature, the far rtachings of his intellect, the sound con

clusion of his judgment have never been

doubted or denied. H a is indeed the. Nestor of the New York br, which is simply another way of haying he is the ablest lawyer

to extend to his brother a courteous recog

nition of the occasion. The chief point of

nterest in this matter, however, so far

as my communication to yon is con cerned, is that, in his 80th year.

A similar record is presented in the person

of the historian Bancroft, who, in his very

ripe old age, sits serenely in his library.

made with Robert Bonner of this city, he is

preparing a series of articles on Washington aud kindred subjects for publication in the

crets, in his judgment, oi his conttcuea, in fact, his almost never interrupted, good health. There are, of course, in the acquaintanceship of all ot us, a few of these conspicuous' illustrations, but among the puolic men of the conntry we find very,

very few, nothing like the numer.cal propontons to be found in Europe, and especially among Knglish statesmen. It seems to

me that the realm of letters is particularly trying to men and women. There are very few old women in literature, and very few old men. Mrs. Etowe, whose beaming face I saw a few weeks since, ia about the only

notable illustration, among the women wri

ters cf America, of longevity. She must be

over 70. If I remember aright, she is older

than her brother Henry, but, in any event, tbere can be but a few years' difference in their ages. She was Deyer very strong, perperhaps I 6honld say rugged, but she certainly talks as well, and with as much vivacity, and enjoys a clear head, and as comfortable a physique, as she has had at any time during tbe past forty or fifty yean. I met an old gentleman on the cars day before yesterday, and we were talking about Dudley Field's marvellous vitality, when the old gentleman said to me: 'Well, I am eightytwo years old, I don't know why I shouldn't live to be a hundred. I seem perfectly welL I don't expect to die to-day, why should I

There is a little too much cast ironness about these rigid lines to suit a man of my temperament, but I should think that 00 men in every 100 might find it to their advantage to utilize the two elements of regularity and exercise. Professional men, outside of the lawyer's office, can not perhaps control so absolutely their hours as Mr. Field seems to have done, certainly no writer and no doctor can, but even they can insist upon a specified amount of daily exercise, without which the full measure ot health can, by no possibility, be attained. We were told in our youth it was a great thing to get our "beauty sleep" that is, to get to bed. before 12 o'clock and there used to be a superstition

against breathirg "night air.' I don't know exactly what kind of air we would breathe in the night, except night air, and personally 1 find it makes very little difference whether I go to bad at 12. 10 or 2, so long as I get a needed amouLt of sleep, but
