Warriors and thair Ares.

American army officers whose SUPERB
ors, or the superiors of whose superiors,
have attained to the age of 62 are now
trembling with excitement lest the Sem
ate should fail to act on the bill retiring
all officers at that age. There seems to
be no opposition to the scheme, and
there is little fear that the bill will fail
if it ever gets before the Senate, but
Senator Logan's illness has caused some
delay. OF course there is no specific
age at which an officer becomes incapa-
bic of performing his duties, and where
there is masked disability officers are
retired now without regard to age. But
it is claimed that the young officers
ought to have better chance for pro-
motion than they now have, and there
is a.good deal of force in the argu-
ment that if retirement were CON-
pulsory in the army, as it is in the
navy, there would be less room than
there now is for favoritism At the age
of 62 few officers have any long period
of possible activity before them. If one
age is to be determined on for all, that
is perhaps as fair and reasonable an age
as any. But an officer of low grade
is really superannuated earlier than an
officer of high grade; that is the du-
ties of a general and captain differ so
that there is quite as much reason for
retiring a captain at SO as there is for
retiring a general at 50. This plan of
retirement OH a sliding scale seems to
have received little or no attention in
Congress. The retired list of the Amer
ican army was headed with no less IL
lustrious name than that of General
Winfield Scott, who was 76 when the
civil war began. There was no doubt
about his superannuation then, but he
reached the fatal age of 60 during the
Mexican war, when he showed no seri-
Gus impairment of bodily or mental Wig
or. Admiral Farragut was 60 when the
late war broke out, and if there had been
a compulsory retirement law in 1868 it
would not lave been applied to him,
even if repeal had been necessary. Lord
Cardigan was 81 when he led the histor-
ic charge of the six hundred into the
valley of death. Marlborough was So
at Blenheim. Lord Raglan died dur
ing the Crimean war at the age of 81,
fact that may be used as an argument
in favor of retirement at g. But Bene-
deK was 81 at Sadowa, which by similar
rea;oning would indicate the propriety
of ietiring officers at CO. Prince Wind
ischgratz was vigorous enough when at
the age of 62 he led the Austrian Army
against the Hungarian patriots. We'll
ington aud Napoleon were only 46 when
they terminated their military careers
at Waterloo. Manuel de la Concha,
Marquis of Douro, was called to the
command of the royalist army in Spain
in his 80th year, and was killed in ac-
ton at Martemnro in 1874. He was,
however, only of middle age compared
with Dandolo, who was elected Doge of
Venice when he was "a, and led his
troops in person to the capture of Con-
stantinople when he was 93.- Chicago

Not long since young lady of New

married without paternal consent. The

petent to earn for her respectable liv-

the welding took place at the time ap-
pointed, and it is needless to say that
the father was not numbered among the
guests. The young couple found q
modest home in the neighborhood of
the parental mansion and stin the irate
father refused to recognize them. But
he was not of an unsociable nature, and
he was noted for making acquaintance
on the horse-cars on his way to and
from business. 1t was not strange,
therefore, that he entered into converse
ton with sociable young man at his
side on his way home the other evening,
but it was little surprising, as he was
rather cautious, that he should have
been so entirely fascinated by the young
mans remarks. why" he said, ssyou'r re

Joseph c. Palmer, a California pioneer,

Palmer, in the early days of California,
was q member of the firm of Palmer,
Cook & Co., a bank which did an i'm
mense business, and whose influence
was felt throughout the State. To show
his readiness to adopt original methods
in an emergency, it is related that once
a depositor called to draw a large sum
of money (S2g, ,000) from the bank. Mr..
Palmer's consent was necessary, but he
had been called away to attend to some
duty at q lumber yard some mile or more
from the bank. Thither the depositor
hastened and made known his wants.

But without moments hesitation, he

A Chinese Par1icide.

A horrible story is told in recent
number of the Pekin Gazette. There
was young man of so bad a disposition
that his father compelled him to set up
a separate establishment. One day the
old man went to his sons house intend
ing to pawn one of the young mans
coats, in order to gamble. The son re-
fused, objecting also to give him pair
of stockings he had asked for. On this
the father threatened to complain to the
authorities of the sons unfilial conduct,
and marched off for that purpose; the
son followed him, armed with jar,
with which he hit his parent over the
head. The old man retaliated with a
bill-hook, but was soon overpowered
and killed. The son then stripped the
corpse, and rolling the blood-stained
clothes up into bundle, took them
home and hid them under the floor
of his room. The corpse being found,
it was supposed that the old man had
been murdered, and the affair passed
off; but one day the murderer got drunk
and told his wife the whole story. The
woman, fearing that discovery might
lead to her being implicated, accused
her husband to the authorities, and he
is now sentenced to undergo the :'slow
and ignominious" process of being grad
ually cut to pieces.
