COUNT MOLTKE. AGED 70.

The most potential man In the world Just
now is General Moltke, and the days Of his
years are threescore years and ten. We
will leave military c1tiss to do justice to
the military genius Of MoHke, and to say
where he is TO be placed In comparison with
Grant, and Wellington. and Napoleon, and
Marlborough and the other older heroes Of
the world. What we design now is mucfi
more simple, but equally interesting. The
-stili strong man" about whom one hears
SO little. who can be interviewed only by
Bismarck and by the royal family Of Pras-
sia, and without whom all Bismarck grasd
designs might have bcen unsvailips, the
man who is renewing the art Of war, and
concentrating with such terrible efficiency
the whole force and manhood and discipline
Of Germany. is seventy years old. The
King Of Prussia, himself seventy-three, has
made him count in honor of his seyentieth
birthday; but to us it is far more interest
ing to know that he has reached that age,
than to hear that he has become Count
Moltke. Grant is not yet fifty years old.
Marlborough was all done with war by the
time he was about sixty. Napoleon died
at the age Of fifty-two. Wellington's mil
ity career was over before the age at which
Moltke began to distinguish himself. In
deed, before the war with Austria, Moltke
has kept bis power and his genius very muck
to himself.
Here, then. is point for Psychologists.
that man of seventy may alter the com
plexion Of the world, and the relation of
nations. and the history Of civilization that
be may at this age have physical power for
going through arduous bodily exertion, and
mental power for solving the most tremen-
dous military problems. Meantime let the
example Of Moltke cheer old men, and.
make many young men more modest.

ly their daughter, a beaptiful child Of

and died. During is sickness it was
attendediby physician, who was &C
companisd, on every visit by his
daughter, girl fifteen years. who
evinced the greatest. solicitude for the
little sufferer: When death came
with its Geld, icy grasp, this young
lady was there. and.@#fth tender
hands closed the innocent eyes and
arranged theform/ Of the babe who
had been called home. The funeral
took place the next day, and, owing
|: to conflict of religious opinion be-
tween the parents, neither priest nor
minister was called ln.. The young
lady went to the house of mourning,
and, in company with the grief-strick-
en- parents, followed the Essmains to
the cemetery. Arriving there, the
little body was placed by. the side :of
its narrow resting place to allow of {, a
last look at the sweet face which all
loved 80 we'll. With low wall the
poor mother threw herself down by
it, and with passionate kisses sought.
as it were, to recall life to the cold,
motionlesa clay. Every one was
visibly affected by this outburst, and
when she called upon the young lady
to offer prayerfor herpoor darling,
all reverentiaIy uncovered and knslt

without a7inonent' 5 ihesitatioTl, knelt
and commenced praying. At first;

the fair young lady.
