An American Peculiarly.

The strange thing Is, that with this
horror of solitude, we after all are uil'
sociable, or at least are anything but
talkatiye. A party of Frenehmen, OF
Irishmen, or negroes, VIII chatter
more in an hour than an average white
American party IN three. For all
that, we crave company. We ike to
have somebody near Us TO whom we
can say nothing. There must he some
congenial companion, with whom We
can hold our tongues, 4 lenely
tongue Is so tedious 10 hold! 1t Is
said Of a well known poet that he set
for his picture TO u well known artist
in blissful silence. During the first
sitting not word was said, except
those necessary orders, head up"
shoulders back" that make such
sittings 80 like first lesson in mill
tary drill. The second sitting was the
same, till after half an hour the poet
broke the silence with b, like
you! 4" " And / like yOu," was the
ferveht answer Of the happy artist f;
after which they became fast friends,
and had together, no doubt, those
thousand silences " of which Emer-
son sings.
One OF these American social sQlici-
tudes il the hOtel-table, where every
body eats and nobody speaks. An
other is the street car or railway ear,
where a dozen neighbOrs ride home
together, and neither says a word, un-
less it is within q week of an election.
Still another is the domestic parlOr,
where the husband silently reads his
evening paper from eight to ten, and
does not even tell his wife the deaths
and marriages. If such a man would
even, like the Trappists, put in an
occasional suggestion 10 Remember
Death,n il WCuId be something con-
sOling. How are We 10 explain this
odd combination, this silent gragaTl-
business? Are We in transition state
from the English 10 the French type,
that we thus cOngregate as if we were
French, and hold our tongues "a If we
were English? Or, is it the vastness Of
our national experiment That makes Us
wish, like children in the dark, 10
hold each others hanli5 and say moth
ing? 1t is easier to ask these qurs-
tiOns than to answer them. Nations
develop IN their own way. Perhaps
with freer means of COMMUNICATIONS
we shall shrink less from country life
With more variety of culture, we
may grow more sOCiRble, as well AS
more csOcial.-Nsir York Tribune.

A Plea for Large Type.

In the interest of eyes which we
see dimming all around us, we plead
for the three-vOlume novel In right
English style. Whether ii be In pa
per covers or morocco cloth, bev-
eled edges, - according to the adver-
tisements, give US three volumes and
generous type. Look at the difference
between English editions Of the COM
mon circulating library nOvel-with
ivory paper and whole ONE type that
the eye takes in as easily as q bowl OF
cream: three volumes that one can
read on ones pillow, after writing late
into the night, without having the
eye-aehe next morning and the
American one, benefieially cheap, tC
be sure, but a penance to read, with
lis compressed columns and narrow
spaces. 1t would add to the length Ol
ones eyesight a score Of years If thu
large type We're common. It's thC
same with newspapers. Large type
Is always popular, and publishers may
reflect that they have TO pay less fo
filling the same amount of space, boil

The building Of these roads is based
upon the principle Of military necesSi-
( Is. In 40 country are railroads more
/ necessary for that, Or more easily and
Cheapiy bni!t, than they are on
/ the vast plains of Russia. 1f0 en-
/ force the argument for the military
I necessity of these roads, attention Is
called by the Gar TO the fact that Aus
I tria and Prussia have 80 constructed
their roads, that, in a short time, the
whole dispusable military force Of
those monhfShies could be brought TO
bear against Russia. II Russia had
had a railway connection, In isG3, be-
tween Moscow and SebaStOpOl, that
far-famed stronghold would never
have surrendered 10 the allied French
and English. The latter powers, by
these connections, were practically
much nearer SebastOpOl than Russia
was. She had 10 march her troops Tor
"A thousand miles or more, over a cOuu-
try destitute of roads, where there
was hardIya hridle-path. They arrived
in a ii atigued and WORKOUT condition,
with few supplies of any kind. In the
rainy season. il was simply impossible
for this army 10 be succOred.
But railroads are an element of mill
tary weakness sometimes as well as
strength. Suppose that Napoleon,
when he invaded Russia i'm 1872, had
found there "A network of railroads
from Warsaw to Moscow and 81. Pc
tersbUrg. The campaign, in that
event, would have been of short durd
ton. The disaster of the Moscow
retreat would undoubtedly have been
prevented, and Russia compelled 10
conclude en- ignominiOus peace. We
owe the conquest of the South tO its
numerous railroads. Without their
aid and assistance for transportation
we never could have penetrated, with
our immense armies, into the interior.
/ While il would have crippled the
Southern dcienses, the general result
would have been largely against the
invaders.
The building Of these roads shows
how Russia is advancing in the arts
of civilization. The Gar is, in his
completion OF them, helping forward
a cause that Will, ere long, destroy his
arbitrary power and inaugurate new
ofsler of things in his dOminions.
I Commercial and monetary influ-
ence cannot exist without interfering
with imperial aristocracy.
