Headers ot' history know that these martial veterans have not played the role ol' conservative counsellors merely while younger men hore thc brunt nf hattie. Farragut was when he was lashed lo thc shrouds at the battle ?d' Mobile Hay. .Juniors about him shouted warning- that the flagship was leading the line ?d' vessel! to a nest o'" submarine torpedoes, hut with au .

Scott displayed equally aggressive vigor winn thc American anny lay in front of the forbidden heights of Cha pultcpce. After meeting with a bloody reception at Molinos ?Iel Hey ho asked the younger generals about him to suggest a plan for the capture of the City of Mexico, which lay beyond the heights. All nf thom said that thc army should go around Chapultcpco '"avoid" it was the military tenn - and approach thc city from thc west side. After each had spoken and given his reasons Scott ended the council by saying: ''Gentlemen, we will first storm Chapultcpco, then look to the city gates on the west side." Chapul tepee was stormed and won and thc city fell without any defense of its gates worthy the name. Confederate veterans are familiar with thc episode in the Wilderness when r.obert K. Lee, then approaching threescore, wished to lead a charge of thc Texan brigade. Albert Sidney Johnston, the brilliant soldier upon whom thc south rested her high hopes in thc beginning, was 51) when killed at Shiloh in thc heat of a charge. This Johnston, had he lived, might have become thc gcneral-in-chicf of the Confederate army, and at the close of the war would have been 152 year* old. Joseph K. Johnston was f>^ when he fought tho last hattie in thc Carolinas, and Lee was thc sante agc at Appomattox. lt is interesting to contrast thc ages of the distinguished leaders ir it ?ri? .; 111 < > 11 i < .? . rcs I ? . in ; ir.--. li.''

Hut long before that gray hicks of lighting warriors bad been conspicu ous on scores of blondy battlefields, and the bullets of Yankees and Con federates spared them not. Cen. Leonidas I 'oik, thc ex-bishop, known as tho surpliced warrior of thc south, was killed in the defense of Atlanta at the ace of "?S'? Mansfield, in his lilith year, fell at Antietam while deploy ing hi- anny corps, regiment hy regi ment, for a grant! charge, and tien. Wadsworth was r?7 when he leaped his . horse over the Confederate wo:ks at the hattie nf the Wilderness, and fjll dead within the enemy's ?ines. Hut the oldest hero ol' them ?ill was Cen. Sumner, who led tho lighting Second ! corps of the Army of the Potomac ' when he was lil! years of agc. The ! nickname given to Sumner on account ..i" Ins fiery ardor in hattie, "Old Hull nf tin" Woods," had reference to his j impetuosity when thc hour carno to ! charge. I That Howey had many gray haired compeers in the battles against Spain is shown hy the long list of veterans who made history for thc army at Santiago. First to fall was Col. Wikoff, a soldier who had held a com mission in the regular establishment j i'm* more than 17 years. Hy WikolF's . >ide almost, when killed, was tho \ second in command of tho First bri ! eade, Col. Worth, with nearly lt) ? years of servir? to his credit. Worth j fell within a few feet ol' his dead chief. Next in rank came Lieut. Col. I Lis.-um. who at that moment was climbing the rough hillside at tho head of his negro regiment. That j young staff officer. Charles K. Tay inan, mentioned in thc official rc pur ts as ibe breathless messenger sent by Cen. Kent to summon thc Seventy first to the front, awed his brcathless ; ness to a race after Liseuni to tell hun I that the command "1" the brigade ilc i v..Ivett upon him. Liscuin was r?S and j hadn't much the .-tart ol' Taytnan at I thi' hank of the river, but the yoUDg I .-ter nearly gave out before he could j delivei ihe message. Almost instant \ ly the old man disappeared into the tall grass, wounded; but gray hairs were still in evidence on that part of the field. Major Kllis -and Major Auman of the Thirteenth charging abreast of Liscutn's colored troops, wore war veteran- hard crowding three score. They went down before San .luau block house was reached. Then Col. Kwers, of the Ninth, a gray-beard who hail fought in that regiment un der tirant as far back as 1 Si?2, took command of the victorious linc. Meanwhile, just to the right of Wikoff's brigade, Hawkins, a soldier who began his career in 1S.V2, was leading on the Sixth and Sixteenth, under Hebert andThcakcr. graybeards, who were to fall outside thc breast works. Hawkins crossed the trenches and was shot the next day while re pelling the Spanish counter-assault. Next to Hawkins. "Wheeler was the oldest man on the firing line, and how valiantly he battled until the victory was won has been told. lt should be noted that with one exception every regiment, battalion and squadron of the regular engaged i at San Juan went into action lcd by a veteran of 18111, and the 10 generals and field elli cc is who were victims of .

Kee, were appointed with temporary rank under the Act approv ed May 31, 1804. And this list, so far as the report of the War Hecords office shows, includes thc,names of all thc Lieutenant (?encrais who served in the Confederate annies. In the sketch of (?cn. Wheeler's career, printed in the last edition of. the Con gressional Directory, it is stated that he ''was successively promoted to the command of a regiment, brigade, di vision and anny corps, and in 1802 was assigned to the command of the anny corps of cavalry of the Western Army, continuing in that position till the war closed," and on May ll, 1804, became thc ''senior cavalry gcgeral of thc Confederate armies." Wc have no wish to discredit Gen. Wheeler's services during the Confederate war, and particularly because of his splen did work during tho recent war with Spain ; but it is a little strange that the War Records office should have discovered no signs of him in the Confederate reoords of Lieutenant Ci encrais up to within three weeks of the surrender of Lee's army at Ap pomattox, and within nhout six weeks of thc surrender of the Western army at Greensboro. As Schley wigwagged to Sampson at Santiago, there is "Glory enough for all of us," in thc achievements of the Confederate ar mies : but as our correspondent sug gests : "We might as well have histo ry true." - AW* and Courit r. Thc ? Hil (.unir cf ( ulta While Cuba oilers such a haven the invalid, it is a paradise for the sportsman, wild game and ti-!, of all kinds being abundant.

I The wild boar is plentiful, and -onie- ' times, if cornered, dangerous, especial- 1 ly the obi master of the herd, called ' tin solitario," which will tear a dog to pieces or make a green ??'niter climb 1 a tree, but the Cuban easily kills him with a machete. Thc island hoar < sometimes weighs lino or !?tMi pounds. 1 and has huge tusks, often live or six 1 inches in length. The meat of the 1 female is much relished by the na tives. Wild dogs and eats, wild cat tle, horses and jackasses abound. But the jutia, peculiar only to Cuba, which looks like a cross between a squirrel with a rat's tail and a rabbit, and which lives in the trees and feeds on 1 nuts and leaves, is the great delight 1 of thc Cuban. Powis are in great numbors. Wild guinea hens and turkeys are found in Hocks of from 25 to 100. Tho whistle of the quail and the flutter of tho pheasant and perdiz are heard on all sides in the rural and mountain re gions. Ducks in abundance come over from Florida in thc winter and return with tho spring. Wild pigeons, with their white tops and bodies of blue, larger sometimes than thc do mestic bird, oller, in hunting, the greatest sport to men who will be re strained within reason. In the early mornings the pigeons generally go to feed on tho mannie berries when ripe, and which grow by the sea or near some swamp place. I have known of a party of three persons to kill 1,500 of the pigeons within a few hours. Kobiches, tojosas and guanaros arc found in the thick woods. Mocking and bluebirds, orioles, turpials, negri tos, parrots and a thousaud of song sters and birds of brilliant plumage flit from tree to tree. The waters about Cuba, at night strangely phosphorescent, are marvel lous in their transparency. Objects can be seen in a depth of eighty or ninety feet and the endless variety of botanical and animal life in the depths alford great pleasure for those who love the realm of nature's mysterious lore. Hrown lichen, great white coral trees, and tho numberless shells, with tish whose bright colors eniulatiug the tints of precious stores and tho hues ol' thc rainbow, darting hither and thillier, combine to form a most en chanting aquarium of nature. The naturalist, Poey, says there arc OH distinct species of Ash in the Cuban waters. Among those that de light the sportsman are the red snap per, lista, manta, gallego, cobera, su re la and gar fish. The sierr, which weigh from forty to sixty pounds, is extremely game, as is the ronco, so called because it snores when brought out of the water. For heavy sport, fishing for sharks, which are good for nothing, or the gusa, which weighs front HIO to 0U0 pounds, and is excel lent eating, offer abundant exercise. It is a daily occurrence to see schools of fish, numbering from hundreds to many thousands, each fish weighing from one to four pounds^ swimming around the bays and harbors waiting for a bait. Any American who enjoys good fishing can find his fondest dreams more than satisfied in Cuba. Delicious shrimps, crabs, and lob sters, oysters and clams abound. The lobsters have no claws and weigh from two to eight pounds. They are caught at night in shallow places along tho sandy beach, a torch, harpoon and net being the necessary outfit. Sonic of the rivers abound in alligators, but few hunt them.-John T. Hyatt t Jr., in F ?(hi un J Streu m. - The millions of steel pens used in the world ere all made by very few firms.

KN I >H'OTT, XKII., March 8.- -As the se? j ucl of a fatal duel over a young lady, Hurt (?randy was chased through the forests of this county by i Sherill's posse and bloodhounds and finally kill ed himself. Clyde Cole's body lies at the undertaker's establishment, and a >li-traded young woman is raving in lier room, temporarily bereft of reason hy the bloody tragedy enacted in her presence. Those involved arc among tie- best families ol' the State. Th-- two young men who last night engaged in the struggle to the death wcic intimate friends. For a year they have been paying attention to pretty Gertie Hickey, the belle of the village. The jealousy was intense, hut no threats have been made, and no one expected the courtship to end in tragedy. Last night at thc Endi cott I'ublic School a church entertain ment was held. All three participa ted, and the two young men hurried From the temporary stage to the door Lo beg the privilege of escorting Miss Hickey home. l?oth spoke at once, but the girl ac cepted Cole, (?randy was persistent and begged that he be permitted to ac company them. Il is* offer was reject ed. The couple walked a few blocks to the girl's home. At the gate stood Urandy in a rage. The disappointed lover demanded of thc girl whom she loved host of the two. She hesitated and Cole disengaged himself and step ped forward. Seeing trouble brewing thc girl step ped between the two rivals. Again Urandy demanded that she make a choice. Hoping to settle the difficul ty, thc girl declared her love for Cole. Instantly G randy drew a revolver. The girl sprang between the men, but ('ole jumped forward and grabbed the wea pon. Then a wild struggle for the possession of thc pistol occurred. After 10 minutes Graudy wrenched himself loose, still grasping the wea pon, and aimed at his rival. Again the girl sprang forward and interposed her body to shield her lover Then the infuriated man pushed thc weapon beneath the girl's shoulder and fired at Cole. He dropped dead. Then the girl denounced the mur derer, who turned and fled into the woods. Ail day he was pursued by a posse led by bloodhounds. Finally his body was found in a paeture six miles from Endicott. A bu let hole in his skull and a revolver lyitig by his side told the stor)'. Losing hope of escape and .overcome with remorse, he had taken his life with the re/olver with which he had slain his friend. The young girl's reason is threatened. - St. Lnuis Republic.

When a man's vigor and energy begin to weaken and be come uncertain, then the door to his vitality grows shaky and there is an opening for the grim visitor to enter. It is commonly said that r-eople die of this or that particular disease? The truth is they die of constitutional weakness. If more people realized this they would understand why the great "Golden Medi cal Discovery" invented by Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., cures so many cases of lingering coughs, throat, bronchial, and kindred affections of the air passages. It gives thorough abundant constitutional vitality. It gives the digestive and blood making organs, where consumption usually begins, power to do their work completely so that no poisonous dregs can get into the circulation to tasten on the lungs and vital tissues.
