C . t'* \ HE "Fathers of the I?r>public" were not th|i sexagenarian < and sep- tuagt'nar ans of their era. On the contrary, they were as a rule a remarkably youthful tset of men. It is the "wigs, queue- and knee- •f breeches" which have caused the misappre­ hension. The pictures in the i'Chool history show white-haired men who bear every appear­ ance of being "well up in years, "and the child instinctively thinks of them as old. Almost superhuman wisdom was required to dis­ charge their almost impossible^task, and it consequently seemed as though they must have possessed the requisite wisdom and experience of the world. If the question were asked which of the two bodies, the convention of 1787 or the United States Senate of 1888, showed the highest average of age, doubtless nine persons out of every ten would answer that the framersof the Constitut on were much the older. Forty-one deputies from the various States subscribed their names to the Constitution on the 17th of September, 1787. The birthdays of all but four are known. Of these thirty-seven there were but five who were as old as 60, and, In truth, one ot these five did not com­ plete his sixtieth year until the month after the eonvention dissolved. ^ The Nestor of the body was Benjamin Frank­ lin, who was more than 81 when it met. Roger Sherman came next in seniority, at • 6. Thon followed two members each iu their sixty-fourth year, and the dep­ uty who was just turning 60. But only one-sixth of the whole number were en­ titled to be called old men. Turn now to the other extreme^ Jon­ athan Dayton, of New Jersey, lacked several months of being 27 when the convention met; William Jackson, of Pennsylvania, was but 28; Charles Pinckncy, ot South Carolina, only 20; Alexander Hamilton, of New York, was but a few months past 30; Rufus King, of Massachusetts, 32; Gouverneur Mor­ ris, of New York, 35; and James Madi­ son, of Virginia, 36. Twelve of the thirty-seven were under 40, and twenty less than 45 yeu^s old. A fuil third were thus within the class which, in speaking of age nowadays, we call young men. ??he average age of* the whole number ell just inside 45 years. It wou'.d be a waste of space to argue that the young men of the convention did their full share of the work. It is enough to have cited the great nan~.es just mentioned and to add that the com­ mittee to which the instrument was re­ ferred for final revision consisted of Johnson, aged 60; Hamilton, 30; Ciouv- erneur Morris, 35; Madison, 3G; and King, 32. Bancroft calls Madison "the chief author of the Constitution." Ham­ ilton's work in the Federalixt is conceded to have been the most potent agency in commending the instrument to the coun­ try and securing its adoption. Marshall, then only 33, furnished the powerful as­ sistance without which Madison could not have secured the narrow majority by which their State was persuaded to accept it. The Constitutional Convention was not unique as a field for youthful achievement. Jefferson was only 33 years old when he wrote the "Declara­ tion of Independence." Hamilton was made Secretary of the Treasury by Washington, and began his career as a financier at the age of 32. At the same time King, who had become a "carpet­ bagger" to New York--since he repre­ sented Massachusetts in the Constitu­ tional Convention--was elected United States Senator at 34. Thirty had been fixed as the minimum age for Senators, and half of those first elected were be­ tween 30 and 35. A few years later Henry Clay came to the Senate and was admitted without thought that ho was not eligible--the fact being that he did not reach the age of 30 until more than three months'later. No limit of age for the' Judiciary was fixed in the Constitution, but if there be any place in the Government where ma­ turity is demanded, it Is on the bench of the Supreme Court. Washington ap­ pointed as one of the early justices Jafhes Iredell, who was but 38 years old: John Adams gave a place to Bushrod Washington at 36, and Jefferson named William Johnson at only 32. This was simply the adoption by tlje Federal Gov­ ernment of the same principle which the States had applied tocthe choice of judges. John Jay, who was made first Chief Justice of the United States at 43, had been appointed Chief Justice of New York when but 31. Iredell had been Judge of the Superior Court of North Carolina when only 27. The truth is that what we have come to consider the especial era of old men was really the most remarkable period in our history for young men. They*en- joyed a chance a century ago such as young men have never had since the war broke down temporarily, some of the barriers against youth in public life, but the controlling forces were wielded by men whose average age was a number of years greater than that of their grand­ fathers, who held sway during the revo­ lutionary period. "Slow-going," we are wont to call the ways of the eighteenth century; "a fast age " is the common description of our own period. Both expressions are mis­ leading- Our conservative ancestors rushed their boys through college dur­ ing their teens; two members of the Constitutional Convention had graduated at 18, one at 17, and three at 16. New York College will not admit a boy until he has completed his fifteenth year, and the average ago of graduation at both Harvard and Yale is between 22 and 23 years.--Edward P. Clark. 8oe!sty in Calcutta. A fanny story concerning the "Upper Ten" of Calcutta has got abroad. It is to this effect: A lady called at a house, sent up her card, was admitted, paid the usual visit, and enjoyed .the usual amount of E>mall talk with tfee lady of the house. Returning home, ahe informed her husband where she had been, when that distinguished member of society at once wrote off to the "Occupant of the bouse No. --, ----street," saying that his wife had called by mistake, and requesting the return of the card she had left on visit­ ing the lady of the said house. The husband of the.lady visited, however, was equal to the occasion, lor he re* lied that on returning home and find- g the card he had looked at his wife'g visiting list, and, not finding the name of the visitor, he had torn up the card, and was therefore unable to return it. £ LEO XTTT. will grant no more private andien^BS.

ONE Be Goes Unarmed to a Chief Whom En­ gland and franc* Were Preparir* te Fight. An African oliief on the Cazasunce Biver in West Africa named r ode Kaba has been making a good deal of trouble for the French and English, says the New York Sun. He occupies territory on the banks of the Cazamance River, which is nominally within France's do­ minions, thought she has never attempt­ ed to exert real authority in the region. His country borders on the English possessions to the north,' and for some time past warriors from his twenty- seven villages, instigated by their King,, have flocked over the border and dev­ astated a part of the English territory.. The English grew tired of these pro­ ceedings and appealed to France to make the King behave himself or to join with the English in an expedition that would teach him better manners. The French thought they would first try conciliation and they sent Mr. Bross- lard, with a military escort) to reason with the savage monacch. Fode K§ha, however was on his dig­ nity, declared himself to be as great a King as the ruler of France, and said he would do as he pleased, lie had around him a very large armed force and the French Ambassador decided that it was wise to return to the coast, report progress, and declare that a very severe lesson must be administered to the hanghty monarch. Then the French Government decided that it would join England in sending an ex­ pedition against the King. It was looking around to see what troops were at its disposal to dispatch on this stern mission when one of its employes, Mr. Forichon, said he be­ lieved he could arrange the trouble. He thought he could induce the King to listeu to reason if he went unarmed to Fode Kaba, without wasting any pow der, men, or money. The French Gov­ ernor, who seems to be really op­ posed. if he can help it, to making ex­ periments upon savages with the im­ proved weapons of modern warfare, de­ cided to see what Farichon could da So one day the new Ambassador left the coast with his hands in his pockets, Without an escort, without so much as a revolver, and with only a few provi­ sions slang over his shoulder. He told the King he had come to him as his friend, and that the ruler of France was mnch averse to spilling the blood of the subjects of his great brother, Fode Kaba. He said France wished to live at peace with ail the peo­ ple and do everything to make them happy and prosperous. They had a long talk, in the course of which the Kit>g learned that M expedition had actually been preparing to march against him, when this young man vol­ unteered to go unarmed into the hostile region and settle the trouble by peace­ ful words. After thinking it over for a while the King decided that °he would make peace with the French, and he promised to restrain his warriors in the future from raiding on the English territories. He told the envoy that if France would send somebody to him to make a treaty he would enter into negotiations with him at once. So Forichon wended his way back to the coast and told the French that there would be no trouble hereafter. He was sure the King meant to keep his word, and he advised that further negotiations be at once opened. The total cost of this expedition of one man has been about $30. The French thereupon sent a com­ mission to the King, and Feb. 25 a treaty was signed, in which Fcde Kaba, the King of Fogny, agreed to submit his territory to France, in token of his vassalage he promised to pay to the French the nominal tribute of two Blieep a year. He further agreed not to permit any depredations upon En­ glish soil and to renounce his claims iu English territory. He also agreed that he would open to French enter­ prise the rubber forests along the banks of his rivers * and would permit the French to trade and engage in other en­ terprises in his country. At last ac­ counts the King was faithfully carrying out his promises. It was a pacific vic­ tory. Through the intervention of one brave man, who thought he could coax the unreasonable ruler into submission, au expedition of French and British soldiers which expected soon to start for the interior was kept on the ooast, and thus great bloodshed and a large sacrifice of money were averted. Achievements sf Jndastry. The real dignity of labor is well symbolized and net forth in those single acts at the beginning or end of a great work which represent to the imagination the whole enterprise. * The corner-store of a great building is generally laid by some official dig­ nitary, who, in an unaccustomed apron, and with a trowel which he usee clumsily, makes a pretence of doing the actual work of putting the stone in place. Crowds stand about to witness tho work, and orations are made and hymns sung. t The knocking away of the prop which sends a vessel off the ways and into the water is an event of equal contequencc and interest, because it resents the noble task of constructing a great ship. When one of the greatest engineering works of all time was completed--the construction of the Pacifio Railroad--it was regarded as a great honor to drive the last spike that bound the last rail to the earth; and the spike which served, at least temporarily, for the work, was cdpde of silver. Emperoi^Jvings, and Presidents start with their own hands the ma­ chinery of great industrial exhibitions, themselves typical in a high degree ol the importance of manual labor. In a certain sense it would be more fitting that these ceremonies, which concentrate into a single instant's act long periods of hard labor, should be performed by one of the real working- men who are engaged npon the enter­ prise It is they who do the work, and they might well claim that the honor of the key ceremony belongs to them. This was what was done, indeed, when the first blow of the pick was struck recently in the construction of the buildings for the World's Fair of 1893 at Chicago. In a cold winter wind some 5,000 peo­ ple assembled to see a workman strike, with his pick a blow into the frozen ground on the shore of Lake Michigan, where will be the office of the Superin­ tendent of Construction of the exhibi­ tion. In a certain sense, however, and per» haps in a more important one than the other, it is fitting that such typical-acts as the laying of corner-stones and the launching of ships shall be performed by the highest of dignitaries, as repre­ senting the fact that it is really the whole people who build and use great enterprises.--Youth's Companion.
