GREAT YOUNG AMERICANS.
Many Leading Statesmen Won Their
LaureIs While Young Men.

w
At the very beginning of the republic
Thomas Jefferson, in the continental
congress, wrote the declaration of in
dependence when he was thirty-three.
He had entered the Virginia legislature
at twenty-six and had obtained promi-
hence there. says the Washington Star.
Alexander Hamilton surpassed his
great opponent, jefferson, in early ad
vancement. He was a member of con-
gress at twenty-five and a member of
President Washington's cabinet at thir-
ty-two.
James Madison was a congressman at
twenty-eight and John Randolph at
twenty-six, while John Quincy Adams
was appointed minister to England and
the Netherlands at twenty-seven.
Washington himself had been a strik-
ing instance of precocity in the public
service, for he was appointed adjutant
general of the Virginia troops at nine
teen, at twenty-four received the chief
command of the Virginia forces, and was
but torty-three when he took command
of the American army at Cambridge.
Daniel Webster entered congress at
thirty and Henry Clay was appointed a
senator at twenty-nine, before he was
of constitutional age. Clay had previous
ly won a great reputation as member
of the Kentucky legislature. He was
elected speaker of the national house of
representatives at thirty-four.
John c. Calhoun entered the South
Carolina legislature at twenty-five and
congress at twenty-nine. At thirty five
he became secretary of war and occu-
pied the Office seven years.
Andrew jackson was a marvel of
preeocity. He had carried a hintlock
musket as soldier of the revolutionary
army at the age of fourteen. At twen-
ty-three he was appointed by Washing
ton district attorney of Tennessee. He
was United States senator at thirty.
He did not reach the presidency until
he was sixty-two.
John c. Breckenridge was the young
est vice president the country ever had.
He was elected on the ticket with Blu
chanan when he was thirty-five. He
had been elected a member of congress
at thirty.
Gen. Grant was the youngest presi-
dent the country ever had; he was
elected at forty-six. But at thirty-nin
he was unknown.
In the present national house OF
representatives seven members are I'M
der the age of thirty-three, and this is
not an unusual oportion.-Chicago

Ewing Animals.

A gentleman at the Cape of Good Hope
had read much concerning the mesmer-
izing power of mans steady gaze, and
thought he would try is eye on an os-
trich. At first the experiment seemed
likely to prove successful. The bird sat
down, tapped its wings, inflated it's
neck, and struck its fiat, stupid head
against its hollow, bony body. Bus
this effect was only temporary. Sever
al hours afterward the gentleman was
found lying on his stomach, in such n
position that his eye had no quelling
power over the bird. which was alter
nately jumping and sitting upon the
PROSTATE body. The author of Ami
NAL Sketches" who tells this anecdote,
relates a little experiment of his own
made upon a wild cat. The cat, con-
fined in a cage in a geological garden,
was stared at by the author, who con-
fesses that but for the wire network he
should have had his eyes scratched out
by the savage little spitfire.
