AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
IL Is Raised by American Occupancy
of the Railway Across the
Isthmus,

Washington, Nov. 27.-The reported
action of Capt. Perry, the naval Off
Ger in command of the United States
forces on the isthmus in declining to
permit any of the Colombian or rebel
troops to make use of the railway,
may raise an interesting question. 1t
is understood here that the Colom-
bian government feels that it has the
decided right to use this railway to
forward government troops. This
right is based on the fact that the
road is on land over which Colombia
has sovereignty and is operated under
a government concession, Colombia
retaining an interest in the road to
the extent of $250,oOO per year. More.
over, the Colombian authorities say
the rebels have not had their bellig.
erent rights recognized by this or any
other government, so that they have
no status as carrying on warfare.

Old Age.

Beauty is the universal idol of man
kind, but few can look beneath
wrinkles, with which time records his
onward flight, and find it. Herein lies
one of the elements that assists in
making up the sadness of growing old.
We covet the admiration of those we
love, and are 10th to part with an at
traction that helps us retain it. But
this vanity, this love of admiration, is
only a small part of the feeling that
makes us shrink from age. 1t is also
because we must give up the hopes and
the joys that have made our young
lives so beautiful AS our limbs be-
come palsied with age, reluctantly we
give over the work that once was ours
to younger and stronger arms. In
youth we draw plans for the meridian
of life, but alas before he dew OF
youth is fairly dry on our brow, old
age is dimly seen in the distance and,
YEARLY, day 10y day he steals upon us
until we are surprised to find ourselves
enveloped in his whitening blight.
How important, then, that we should
prepare for ourselves sweeter, faire1
joys to take the place of youth fleeing
ones. AS we look over the annals OF
time, while we find the dread of grow
ing old is as universal as the love of
life, we also find, from the history Of
great and good men, it is only thu
selfish craven who does not meet i
bravely and well. Earth benefactors
whether we find them in literature
science, or in the humber walks O.
life, have met the inevitable will
brave hearts and undaunted brow
We all feel that we have within u
immortal spirits that are trammeleC
by this corporal frame which bu
awaits the signal of death to pass int
better state of being. We SHOULD
regard every wrinkle and gray hair a
milestone fair and white, pointing
us on to the glorious portal that open
! into bright world, where there vii
be no more sadness Ger growing old
but for each of us one celestial da,
that will never turn its amber hinges
IF we would reach the realm CD tn
other shore,
We must pass through a transfer
gloom
Must walk unseen, unhelped and alOn
Through the covered bridge, tn
tomb.
