Youth and age in War.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

A native of Holland, an American
citizen 10y adoption, writes to a New
York newspaper that he is SO years old,
but as able to fight as any man Of .,
and suggesting the formation of a corps
of men from As to S. years old. He
thinks there are many thousands Of for
eign-born citizens of the United States
who are ready and anxious to take up
arms for their adopted country in case
of war with Spain.
That old men lave sometimes been
the best and most successful fighters,
history abundantly shows. Farragut,
the great admiral of the Civil War,
was over sixty when he ran his fleet
up the Mississippi under the guns of
the Confederate forts below New Or
leans, and in spite of the warning in
regard TO torpedoes at Mobile Bay, ex-
claimed - the torpedOes. Go aheadr
Robert Anderson was So when he de-
Tended Fort Sumter. ID n Carlos Buell.
was Il when he helped to save Grant
from disaster at Shiloh. Joseph Hooker,
one of the b,st fighters in the Union
Army, was over so when he captured
Lookout Mountain. David ID. Porter
was 50 when he commanded the largest
armada the world had ever seen, at the
capture Of Fort Fisher. The beloved
John Sedgwiek was 81 when he was
killed at the head of his corps in the
Wilderness. George II. Thomas was
IS when he won tine battle of Nashville,
one of the five most important batii'
of the war, and George G. Meade was
IS when he won the most important
battle of the war. John y. Winslow
was SO when the Kearsage sank the Al
ALBANIA.
Jubal A. Early was 40 when he came
so near to capturing Washington. Jo-
seph f. Johnston was 81 when be was
holding Sherman's army in check in
Georgia, and Robert f. Lee was the
same age when he made his able de

1t can not be said that the high posi-
tions held by these soldiers exempted
them from the hardships of soldiers
life. They did not have to march on
foot, it is true, but they were often in
the saddle day and night, and when
the private soldiers slept they were fire.
quently kept awake until nearly day
light receiving reports, considering
plans and Issuing orders. 1t is on rec
ord that General Meade got not more
than few hours sleep-three or four
during nearly week of the Gettys
burg campaign. These soldiers Of mid
die life and beyond endured all the
hardships of soldiers life and yet
maintained the marvellous energy nee
essary to the direction of campaigns
and battles.
Nevertheless, the young man makes
a better fighter than even the physie-
ally sound man of middle life, because
the young man mas not acquired the
habit of considering risks, habit usu-
ally confirmed in persons past 70. Wan
service rapidly ages even young troops
in the development of caution, and it
is usually the young generals and the
fresh troops who are chosen for forlOrn
hopes, of which truth Wayne at Stony
Point is an example, and it is expert
enced veterans, like Haneock's Second
Corps at Sailors Creek, who sometimes
refuse to face the certain death which
earlier in their experience they would
not have considered

REIN SUPPORT.
A Very Ingenious and Useful Article
Invented and Patented by Mr.
Andrew Bayha, of Bridgeport'--lt
Pleases Owners Of Horses.

Mr.. Andrew Bayha, of Bayha Bros.
Carriage Manufacturers of Bridgeport,
Ohio, has recently placed upon the
market a newly invented rein support
of which he is the sole inventor and
owner.
The invention consists in the con-
struction of an open loop or ring
which may be readily attached to any
desired part of the harness-for in
stance, to the hip-straps or neck
straps, or both-to serve as guide for
the reins, 50 that they cannot engage
over the end of the shafts, or so that
they will not rest on the horse to cause
him to lather in warm weather, to pre-
vent the animal from switching the
reins under his tail, and prevent the
lines catching under buckles and ends
of straps on hip-straps. 1t may be
used in any other place where a guide
is desired to be used.
The invention is meeting with cen
siderable favor among the horsemen
and harness dealers Of the city, and
promises to be a grand success. 1t
is very simple In construction, cannot
get out of order, and is offered for sale
at very low price, considering its
utility. The contrivance is protected
by patents, and the demand for the
rein support has been remarkable,
considering the short time it has been
upon the market Mr.. Bayha will fur
Inish information concerning 1t, or it
can be secured of dealers.
