young man, and took professional interest
in him. Some time afterwerd he was sent to

An elaborate table has been published In
England OF the ages of Generals commanding
the German, French and English armies. In
Germany the average age Is 67, In France it Is
60, In England II is GO, These averages leave
Princes out OF the reckoning. OF the French,
II should be said that no General of Division In
France is allowed to remain IN command of a
corps d'armee In active service beyond the age
of Go. Some Of the individual ages are these:
English-Lord Napier, of Magdala, 10; W. @.
Napier, 05; Sir 7. NJ. Steele, 63; Sir A. Hors-

OUR ESTEEMED contemporary the Re.

headed ideas on the subjects of extradi-

able editor has hit the nail plumb on the
head, we reproduce his utterauces ia

garded as automatic:

SENATOR MCPHERSON has written a
letter to the Trenton Times explanatory of
his vote for the new tarif'law. The World,
an extreme free trade organ, attacks him
savagely for voting for protection. Now.
we believe in revenue reform, but we do
not see any overpowering reason why that
belief should make us do injustice to Sena-
tor Mcpherson or anybody else who voted
for the new tariff law. Practically the
issue presented to Congress was choice
between the old tariff law and the new one
which latter is on the whole less objection
able than the former. Most of the Republican
Senators and Mr.. Mcpherson preferred the
less of the two evils, admitting either to
be, under all the existing circumstances, an
evil. Most Of the revenue reformers and
all free traders chose to uphold the old tariff
law. Theoretically they were right, per.
haps; but practically it was Mcpherson
who was right.

ON LAST Monday THE Critic published
an account of the assault on two officers of
tho Tallapoosa at Jacksonville by a half
breed Minorcan ruffian named Canova. By a
very natural error the name of Ensign Ben
Jamin Tappan was printed for that of En-.
sign Francis W. Toppan. The mistake was
the more easily made since the Naval Reg.
ister assigns neither of the gentlemen TO
the Tallapoosa, but asserts that Mr.. Tan.
pan is ON the New Hampshire, as he is. and
that Mr. Toppan is on the Miantonomoh
as he was till recently. We trust that
this explanation, cheerfully made as
an act of fsimple justice to Mr.. Tappan, will
relieve that gentleman from any annoy
ance that he might otherwise be subjected
to because of this case of mistaken identity
And we make the ame1ide honorable the moro
gladly in this case, as it gives us an oppor-
tunity to say that our investigation into
the matter has demonstrated beyond all
cavil that Ensign Toppan and Engineer
Reeves arc not only skillful officers, but
such thorough gentlemen that it would be
impossible for them to insult ladies aud
that this assault upon them was without
warrant or justification and was the act of
rowdy seeking notoriety.
