General Mcclellan was one of the most patriotic soldiers this country has ever produced. He did not believe, as many great men believed, but his love of country arose above all question. He was not an impetuous soldier, but he was great general, careful of his men. As citizen, this country presents no higher type. His enemies were polite al ; ais friends were patriots.

Longevity.

A London physician has published
some curious comparative statistics on
the longevity of public and professional
men. He found that the average age at
death of the twenty-five most promi-
nent American statesmen during the
last three hundred years was sixty-nine.
The average of an equal number of
English statesmen was seventy years
practically the same. He thought the
latter did more work at an advanced
age. The difference i'm favor of En-
glish, as compared with American, po-
litical life, was brought out by compar.
ing the ages at death of members of the
British Parliament with those of the
United States Congress who died be-
tween 1860 and 1884. OF our Senators.
fifty-nine gave an average of sixty one
years; one hundred and forty-six repre-
sentatives averaged fifty-fve years, and
the average for both was lifty-eight.
The one hundred and twenty-one mem
bers of Parliament averaged sixty eight
years at death.
