The history by Profl 'McMaster is being criticised by?: matiys papers in the North.-The lastddgment peenis; to be that it is ''decidedly1' valuable. Bhows the most painstaking research. bat has deficiencies: that f are- Very ' great. ' His attack upoti" General Washington ' meets " with"1 but little ' favor,: whilst bis ' tediousness ! mper fect methods, and want' ot coheren cy as well as fairness are recognized.'

MpMas ter described bim as "the cold -and ' forbiddinp'5luffacter with: whom no ieiiow-man ever veniarea to iive.pA close and familiar terms." It'says: s "This is a estimate' of the personal quali ties of the greatest American which is jin galarly erroneoos, and which it is sarpria- ' ing that a hlstoiian so painstaking and in dubious as Prof. McMaster ' should have formed. It is contrary to : much that is : known to even the ordinary - reader ' of' American history in records easily and con -'y ' : 8tantly accessible 'such ' as the 12 vdlumes of Washington's letters, edited,' by Sparks, .' and the four volumes of .letters to Wash inkituD which, under the title of dorresr I pondence of the American RevolihionA , aconipan y these It is opposed to the very . general and conspicuous fact of the faith - ftii zeal inspired by Washington lumany of the most prominent of his' cotenipora- T"T va irtl nrVttnh nAt kawA Kntn .'-jt uuu nuivu ovum , urir uavv UU mxialLf - wsu"a su a fj vrs.

A writer in tbe' ; Philadelphia - Atrunean sayg there ''is thtf want of - orderly and Systematic arrangemept, vuo This is manif MorhmgSt 5 r.arefnl reader. The truth is the plan- is singularly defective. As the critic quoted;says, tbere is, jio work- mg by. epochs or by chronology or by sequence of topics. He has imitated now and, 4be-Macaulay - and Green, but to conpare bis work with the historical riBerpioe of those great writers" is to compare Hyperion j -.to Satyr. The "American? critic says: Thla lark of dcnni arrangement will -perhaps have the consequence of making the-wors wnen compieieu uavo jcm character of a tosteryvthan of a collection of social, personal and .political studies--Rtndiea verv admirable and extremely inter esting in themselves, bat not digested or reduced to ineir pnuosopnic oruer unu pi portions.. Some future historian may "per haps ;avail himself of Prof. McMaster'a diligent ? and interesting labors amongst pamphlets and newepapers, and by dimply -constructing a more artistically propor. tioned work may Obtain a credit not justly his." He has read all of the old newspa pers ndpublic' documents of the times followingtbe Reyolutipn, and he loads bis pages with opinions that are as much out of i place in a grave historical work as it is possible to conceive. He gives4 the opinions of the scribbler and' politicians of the lastVcentnr but for, the most part failsto tell, the reader where the quotations begin and end.' The work as far as published ?is in fact a rare collection of useful information, but it is made - prolix and , tedious very unnecessarily, and in many places. It is not methodical in its treatment, and fails altogether "to impress one as a clear exponent of the organic growth of the nation," to quote from a writer in the Atlantic Monthly for September. The f Writer thinks that McMaster if ails to discuss "the prin ciples of ; development," or id "com prehend the meaning of the move ment of the great" mass with which he describes so many of its features." ' . The work is clever but it is super ficial. " There is a want of ohrency as well as a "nexus of " purpose." The style is very far below that ; of the great historic masters although at times there is Some very clear, animated and forceful writing! ' The :4Jfantfrcritic "considers the! style fbofrotundiand accuses the author of. using a multitude of words which he says (bear testimony to 'the ex uberance and fertility; of his j mind rather than to his power of seeing "into ""his "subjects." . He regrets thatyMcMaster's style' is so excessive ly ifflorid," and that he is fso rich in indifferent:! material." . r He says the historian dwells far too much "apon petty squabbles and ignoble details." He says he has been evidently "mis led by his authorities," and that they have made him "not a partisan, bat a 'chameleon." He says instead of parading so much from '.old newspa pers he ought to have read them for his readers and .hen "given ns his own" jadgment of the rights and 'wrongs in the cases" m disputel" It was bis duty to sift1 tbe rubbish and hot compel his readers to go through it. ; "A Judge is : bound to sum up the evidence, and not merely to read us the pleas on bothsides." He well ays that toe histonan's mmd "is rather that' of - a reporter than of a judge." ; :- Mc Master is a fluent writer, ;and in places is very entertaining. j But4 he has not been' able ' to grasp - the philosophy of his great themej and in'irytng to tell more of- the'' people and less of the leaders itr the great political struggle in the last century he has failed' signally in placing be fore his readers the real sigmficancy of the great movement. ' It is the leaders in a great revolution -who are the beaconrlights to guide the his toric voyager." As the Atlantic Bays: "The few men who grasped the - po litical situation are worth the histo rian V attention far; more than the curs i who barked at their heels. Those who have read McMaster will readily appreciate the force of, this saying? This Owork has been very greatly exaggerated as to its excel lence by certain Northern writers. . "THAT OLD MAN.' ... Oar readers wfll remember that tbe Staj jaenUoned . that Rev. T. B. iieeks reported the death ot an old person at the age of 123. The Stab suggested 'that the record should; be hunted up, and added that if the age wasreally 123, that "he will have found the oldest man probablyin five hundred years." ''Now Mr Reeks is an old friend and schoolmate of tbe writer, and he is an excellent man. H merely gave the age that was al leged. Rev. E.-L. Perkins, iu the Kaleigh Aanocatet. sas: '!The gTAa-must have forgotten.' that Peter pzarton lived 185 years.; He was a Hnnzanan.r "Samit Munfc-a fUmthmnn lived 185 years, while Jenkma, the lglish man, Jived 169 years, leaving two sons, one' of which lived to be 100 years old and the other 102 years old. ci; "In America.

It would be a very easy matter to furnish a ong list of persons wno nave iiveu m America to an age beyond that reported by Rev. T. B. Keeks. - If Mr. Perkins had been a reader of the Stab he would have seen that it is last because ofeuoti statements -aa the above are made that this paper has several times :i d iscnssedrzsuch ongevity. - We- could 1 easily: swell hia ijist of apocryphal ages, some of which are historic .Sir (Archibald Alison in. his "History of Europe," tells of a man who lived to : be 180.' He lived m Jamaica. 'Joseph 1 Creb1 is another. He died in Wisconsin at the reputed age of 141. Baron W al deck is another. ? But their name is legion.' North Carolina, within the last eight years, has alone reported the death of persons ranging from 110 i to 160 years, and these are just as - reliable and credible as those given by Mr. Perkins, in ? all proba bility. ;j ' - The trouble with all such cases is . - - .-, ; .. there is no sufficient reason to autbor- ize the statement. Whatever evi: dence there is in all such cases is very far from conclusive, and! rests in nearly every case upon uncertain tradition and on the very unsound and very faUibls memories of illiterate old men- and women. There is not one case of very ex treme longevity that is well fortified by testimony and that will stand the test of the courts. Not one, we be lieve. We do not know Mr. Perkins personally, but we know him to be a man of intelligence and information, and we are, therefore, surprised that he so readily receives the statements of age as true that he gives as above quoted. ' There are several points that might be elaborated, but we will in this connection suggest, rather , than ar gue, as we have presented them be fore at some length. :v;, ; J! 1.' Insurance companies . only take the best subjects. They are all care-; frilly examined by qualified physi cians who are feed by the companies for their own protection -i against fraud nd bad cases. The 'class of the insured are ordinarily the health iest ; and most desirable subjects that can be found. t ' N"6 i person in whose family . are- consumption, scrofula and heart .disea3 is in surable. All dangerous hereditary diseases are shut out. Then the in sdred are apt . to: be people in good financial condition, - who are able to keep up policies, enjoy life, take care or ' tnemseives, seeK ; neaitn resorts, and so on. They belong to the bet ter classes. Here then all over the world there is I a very large selected class numbering millions.. . And yet for two hundred years not one man who has been insured has ever lived to be one hundred years old. How singular , if great longevity be4 so common. ; JMo company' has ever paid a policy to any man's heirs who had attained to even one hundred years. Very i remarkable indeed if Mr. Perkins's figures re trustworthy. 2. There have been many tens of thousands of Methodist preachers in the world since AMr! Wesley began his wonderful work : of 1 evangeliza tion. Of all tbe vast number there has never been but one case reported of a death among them at 100 years or beyond." This happened in New Jersey within a few years. 3. So very uncommon is . it for a ptrson to reach the 100th year iu the United States that a few years' since a lady died in New York State at 103, and it was the subject of news paper discussion, and7 led to a tho rough examination of the proofs. We remember that Dr. Charles Deems had a band in it. ' " v - , 4." The Jewish people are a robust and healthy race as all know. Of all. their number the late Sir Moses Montefiore was the- only ; instance in probably a hundred years of one of their number - passing beyond the 100th birthday. v We would very gladly Jbelieve in any well attested record. ' In Eng land7 births are generally recorded and it is possible in most instances to prove. tBe age of person. But, in this conntiy probably not one birth in ten or fifty is a matter' of record. Many years since a foreigner ap peared in New York claiming to " be some 112 or. 115 years oldV.He had a title and was wellj feted by a cer tain class. ' It turned out that he had been in the English army andluk, birth being a matter of record x;htn he was sworn in, it was ascertained that the imposter was but 86. ,Yc a can find 1,000 negroes in orth Caro lina that will tell you they a aTp 'over 100 years old,- and ; some go np high in the next hundred.

This is jthe only way in' which pro teotion could be of service. How it could Tender this service we leave to Mr., Edmunds ntq j.explain.f Tb'our uninstructed intellect it looks as if protection , would;, only increase the cost of : British goods and. still fnr ther restrict the market for them. It appears to us also that, Mr. Edmunds is inaccurate in saying that there is an overproduction Of 'British! manu factures.
