Brick Pavement

Mr.. James Smith, Jr., has just returned
from an extended trip in the east, during
which time he took the opportunity TO
observe something about pavements. OF
all he saw the one that he regarded most
tavorably was the one he saw at Charles
ton, Va. 1t will probably surprise good
many people to learn that brick nave.
ment was ever laid on the roadway of a
street. Yet this it is that attracted Mr..
Smiths attention at Charleston. 1t was
laid, he says, on street over which there
was as much heavy travel as there is on
Seventh or jackson streets, and has been
down ten years. To examine more fully
into the merits of this pavement he went
down to the leyee where all the steam
boat freight is received and hauled over
the pavement. The excellent condition
IN which he found it surprised him TO
such an extent that he made some
inquiry IN regard to how it was con-
structed. He learned that the surface to
be covered by the pavement was graded
TO the required shape of the street, when
1t was covered with a layer of several
inches OF sand. On this sand was laid
boards dipped in tar On these boards
was placed again another layer of two
inches of sand, and upon this sand were
placed the bricks on their edges. The
bricks are represented as being burned
hard. Mr.. Smith could not see that the
ten years. service of this pavement had
had any perceptible effect in wearing it
away or breaking it. 1t had successfnlly
withstood the wear and tear of the heayy
teams and heavy horses that for ten wears
had passed over it on the levee. Mr..
Smith was very favorably impressed with
this pavement, and concluded to mention
the TACT upon his arrival in st. Paul. so
that, II it should be thought best, some
correspondence might be had upon the
matter. '1.o

DUNNELL BAHGERED.
Pig IRON Kelley Gets the LAUGH on the
'Eect President" from minnesota.
Washington Letter, May 81

Washington Letter, May 5.
Judge Kelley's desk was adorned by some
admirer with beautiful basket of choice
flowers, which he removed and substituted
pile of pamphlets, documents, and memo
randa. He is one of those happy men who
have great store of knowledge, and, to make
strong speech, needs only memoranda and
authorities at his elbow. His speech to-day
was q successful effort, but was not equal to
some he has delivered in former congresses on
the same topic. 1t was not a connected or
symmetrical argument in favor of protection,
but rather a series of replies to Hewitt of
New York, Dunnell of Minnesota, and Others
who had opposed the creation of the COM
mission aud attacked the protective system.
He, however, made decided impression,
and the sharp hits at the weak points in the
arguments of Dunneli and Hewitt were enjoy
ed and often vociferously applauded by the
Republicans. Judge Kelley'S thorough famil-
iarity with ali that pertains to the tariff ques-
ton, and his aptitude in dealing with figures,
enabled him to
DETECT SOME GLAZING ERRORS
which others had not observed, and the man.
ner in which he held these up to ridicule was
as amusing to his auditors as it was exasper-
ating to Hewitt and Dunnell. Mr.. Dunnell
cACuSeu Ills ciIOI ny uecldTIHS III was Il Typo
graphical one; but Mr.. Kelley showed that the
same error had been repeated in Mr.. Hewitt's
speech, and said that his object was 10 show
that, if men like these committed such errors,
this congress is not fit to revise the tariff
Mr.. Dunrell, irritated that his explain
alton was not accepted, replied that if
Mr.. Kelley reflected the intelligence of the
ways and means committee, he (DunnelD must
admit that commission is needed. Mr. Hew-
cold nc dina TO ha &c A.
bate, but Kelley pinned him closely.
At a later stage a controversy arose con-
corning the profits on Bessemer steel, and
Dunnell, Carlyle, aud Hewitt alternately had
their bouts with Kelley, the latter maintaining
himself SO as to win the applause of the Re
publicans. Mr.. Dunnelrs admission that he
got his information about the profits of Besse-
mer steel from man whom he supposed
was manufacturer, but who proved to
be buyer only, made his pledicament
the more laughable- Dir. Hewitt
quoted from an authority which he
regards as reliable to show the profits, but
Kelley brought down the house with the ex-
clamation: "You thought the Morey letter
was genuine, too." This crushed Hewitt
Incidentally Mr.. Kelley referred to
Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill presented
to the forty-fourth congress, and quoted there
from Identical articls that, under different
names, appeared on both the free list and the
dutiable list Mr.. Morrison smiled feebIy,
while everybody else laughed. Mr.. Kelley's
whole purpose was TO show that congress
was not prepared 10 revise the tariffuntil new
light dawns upon it, and that the commission
Plan was the best way to put congress in
possession of the necessary information.

The Age of Military Genius.

The vigorous debate which went on in
the Senate last week over the compulsory
retirement clause in the army appropriat ion
bill, brought up once more the vexed ques-
ton as to the age at which an officer of the
army ceases to be fit to command. We do
not propose to discuss the matter in these
columns, which are much too small to
accommodate all the ponderous arguments
which our dignified Senators are wont to
hurl at each other in the course of their
intellectual encounters, but it may be of
some interest to our readers to show what
the teaching Of history is on this point To
begin with, then, it may be laid down as
a general proposition, subject to very rare
exceptions, that all the great battles of the
world have been won by men who were
either in the prime of life or had not yet
reached the climax of their physical powers.
Alexander the Great was sighing for more
worlds to conquer before he was thirty years
old, and died at the age of thirty-two. Ju-
lius Cesar was commander of the fleet before
Mitylene at twenty-five, had subiugated
Great Britain at forty-tiye, and died the
age Of fifty-six. Hannibals career is a still
more conspicuous illustration OF youthful
A rc;~ l., j.
in-chief of the Carthagenian army in Spain,
and at thirty-one he had achieved all his
brilliant victories in Italy. Both the elder
and younger ScipiO Africanus won their
great triumphs over Carthage before they
we're forty. Coming down 10 later times
the rule still holds good. Thus the brief
period of ten years embraces all of Charlie
magnes most famous campaigns Crowned
king at twenty-six, he was master of France
and Germany at twenty-nine, conqueror of
Italy at thirty-two and of Spain at thirty
six. Peter the Great, of Russia, organized
his army at twenty, at thirty had won the
great battle of Embach, and one year later
founded in wilderness the stately capital of
the new empire. Coming down to still later
times, the career of Napoleon supplies us
with another startling illustration of the
military genius of youth. lie was general
OF brigade at twenty-five, commander-in-
chief of the Italian army at twenty-six, and
had laid all Europe at his feet before he had
reached his fortieth year. 1t is equally re-
markable that the average age of the mar
shals with whose aid all his great cam
paigns were fought, was but forty-four,
while the Italian, Austrian, and German
armies were oficered by old men. Our
in the rebellion also showed the
value of young blood. A contributor to the
United Sercice Magazine is authority for the
statement:
"The average age Of twenty of our most |
distinguished generals, namely, Mcdowell,
The National tribune., 1882-06-17
KeImCO the Rnstarn-

PostmasterGeneral Howe estimates that
his Department viii be selEsupporting dur
ing the coming fiscal year. This is a very
gratifying piece of intelligence, and Congress
should now consider the propriety Of max
ing the reduction in letter and newspaper
postage, which the public have so long
demanded. A bill for that purpose was
introduced in the Senate on the 9th inst, by
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, and during
the desultory discussion which ensued over
the question of reference, the fact was
brought out that the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and POst-ROads is favorably
disposed towards the proposition. 1t will
be urged against it, of course, that the
reduction of letter postage from three to two
cents will cause a heavy dimunition in the
revenues of the Department, but experience
shows that the ultimate effect of every
reduction in postal charges has been to in
crease the business and hence the receipts
of the service. Indeed were it not for the
cOstliness of the star routes and the loss
which the Department sustains in the car
