The Age of Old Men.

lions Herald.
The late Emperor William ofGer-
many furnishes only another illustra-
ton of the fact that is the age of old
men. Statistics show that this the Ion
gevity of the civilized races is advanc-
ing. This seems notably the case
with the most serviceable and emil
nent. The age of possible usefulness is
really frightening in modern times.
In no generation since the patriarchs
have old men exercised greater in
fluence than at the present time.
Emperor William bore the full re-
sponsibilities of his Office until he
was ninety-one. Leopold Won Ranke,
Germany's greatest recent historian,
also continued his labors until he was
ninety-one. Our great and beloved
Bancroft is still actively writing at
eighty-Seven. M. Theirs, the great
historian of France, accepted the
presidency and shaped the destinies
of the French republic after he was
seventy-two years old, and produced
his last great literary work when he
was seventy-five. Gen. Grant had
not the slightest dream of literary
fame at siXty-two. Then during
confinement to the house by an acct
dent, and because of final distress, he
wrote the most popular book thus far
published in America-a book des-
tined to serve as a model of personal
and historical narrative for genera
tions. Bismarck has the weight OF
the German empire now resting
mainly upon his shoulders at seven

Moses Montefore wrote a book after
he was ninety-two, and rounded out
a full century of life. All honor t.

Johnnie Shortens the Recitation.

Little Johnnie was learning to spell
and read at the same time, and his
book was first reader. His chief
stumbling-block was a double letter.
When he came to to the word "feel,"
instead of spelling it "f-double-e-el,
feel" he would say "f.e-e-l, "feel,"
repeating the double letter twice. 1t
took weeks to impress him with the
necessity of saying "double" when
ever he found two letters together,
but he learned at last. One day to-
ward the close of vacation, during
which he had grown rusty, he was
brought out before company of la

GENERAL SPINNER'S REMINIS-
CENCE.
Some Happenings in the Thirty Fourth
Congress.
Letter in The Cincinnati Gazette.

Letter in The Cincinnati Gazette.
In that Congress | was placed, by
the Speaker, on the Committee of
Privileges and Elections, and later,
on the special committee to investi-
gate the assault made by Brooks, of
South Carolina, on Senator Sumner.
He also placed me on one of the con-
ference committees near the close of
the first session of the XXXIVth
Congress, on the disagreement of
the two houses on the Army Appro-
priation bill. The House, as you
know, had a clause in that bill,
forbidding the use of the army against
the settlers in Kansas. To this the
Senate refused to agree. This COM
mittee was composed of Toombs,
Douglas and Seward, of the Senate,
and Campbell, Spinner and Orr, of
the House. 1t sat all day long, at
the residence of Senator Toombs, on
the Sunday preceding the Monday
on which Congress adjourned, and
finally in the evening, it agreed to
disagree; consequently Congress adj.
journed without making any appro-
priation for the army.
During the discussion, Mr.. Toombs
talked of little else but the secession
ofGeorgia from the Union. At that
time thought this talk to be mere
bluff; so joined in with him, and
to out-bluff him and to take the wind
out of his sail l, too, pretended to ia
vor secession, and said to him that
when Georgia and New York were
both out of the Union, New York
would declare war on Georgia, con-
quer it, and set its slaves free. AT
the conclusion of the meeting Mr..
Toombs had wine brought into the
room, and while the members of the
committee stood with glasses in
hand, Toombs said to me; "Now,
Spinner, we have agreed upon the
dissolution of the Union; now let us
agree upon the line between the
South and North" / answered {:
"Toombs, when it comes to that you
will have nothing to say on the SUBJ
ject; we will fix the line where we
damn please to fix it,"
OF that committee, I am now, at
the age of eighty-siX years, the sole
survivor, unless Mr.. Campbell, of
Ohio, is still living. If he is, he will
confirm my statement. So, too, of
the other committees, with the eXcep-
ton of the Hon. John A. Bingham,
of Ohio, 1 think save myself, there is
not one living. OF the twenty odd
members of these three committees,
with the exception of Governor Sc
ward, 1 was the oldest man. You all
know that the greater part of the
business of the National Congress is
done in the rooms Of the members
and in the committee-rooms. Occa-

business on hand, there are side

ST. MICHAEL THE WEIGHER;

All mans dreaming, doing, saying,

Since old Adams conscious eyes
Backward searched for Paradise,
And instead the flame blade saw

They could poise both heaven and hell

All the glories of our race,
Cups that lit Belshazzar's FEAST
Gems, and the wonder of the East,
Kublai's sceptre, Caesars sword,
Many poets golden word,
Many a skill of science, vain
To make men as gods again.
In the other scale he threw

Beechen cups of men whose need
