A WAR ROMANCE.
The Desperate and Fatal Courage
eta Russian Cii1l.

Torres Ion.isnre at the i-on.i"n Tin,e-.
80 on the Sd of September began
the advance ON Bella. The whole Of
the force encampe,l in front Of sas-
grad marched out under the command
Achemet Evoub. and proceeded by
various roads in the direction Of
Kacelyevo. Here the Russians had
strongly intrenched themselves in
front Of the kara-lom. TIN the night .
OF the 9Th the right wing, under
Faud Pasha, reached C"-,anza. while
the centre. under Nc.li;i'. occupied
Soleric. Meanwhile. ever since the
3l>i Of August, Sabit ',:si '.en creep
ing along from karsba>>ankoi, over
the hills at the lack, and along the
valley ii ihc river past lsekirin ieni-
kol, in the same direction. On Thurs
day, a combined attack on kacely-
evo was carried out in excellnt style.
The Russians defended themselves ex-
iremely we'll and made the hest advan-
/, taees Of their position; hut it was
manifest that they We're outnuubered.
The Turks showed good courage, and
! advanced with GOODNESS against u very
heavy artillery fire. delivered with AL.
mirable precision. The enemy had
in,renched themselves in three lines,
but the first was s"on carried. The
II second was more olsstinaIely contested.
and here occurred, probably. one OF
the most extraordinary episodes Of the
war. AS the Russians began to waver
and their fire to slackem rs the Turks
were pressing forward with increased
vi.or, a young Russian officer was
seen standing Just benlnd the batteries
waving his sword AMI boldly enconr-
, aging his men to stand their ground.
Over and over again he rallied the
troops who were pouring out Of the
trench. hut it was Of no use; and II
WIS not in his power alone to stem the
!, tide of victory. His men. animated
,, BY his example. turned and held their
! own for a few miutes. hut the
J fire was too heavy for anything
to stay and live. They could
not bear it. They fell on their knees
and entreated him to fly. but not an
inch would he stir. and at last he
! stood for more than a minute absolute
" alone. save TOR the dying and the
dead pilesl in heaps around him. 1t
could only end one way amid the
storm Of bullets which were raining
round him. thick "a, hail one ut last
found its way 10 tina, noble heart, and
he fell dead. AS the Turks swept
, over the parapet and dashed past the
, spot where he Law, the Colonel. struck
by the boys extraordinary courage
and devotion. gave orders that he
should be decently buried. In the
evening he reported to the Command
. er-in-C hief that the body was that Of q
girl. Igive this most astounding dec
laration Of the Colonel on the author
. ity Of one Of the English officers on
, the Serdar's staff, who tells me he was
actuaIly present when it was made. 1t
, seems almost incredible but, true or
false, no Drawer heart ever beat than
now sleeps in that little grave on the
sunny slope Of Kacelyevo.

AFALsE ECONOMY.


1t is possible that the most obnox-
ious delusion to which a commercial
people hive ever lent themselves, is a
high protective tariff: In this coun-
try-in Missouri and the West-not
a single good argument can be offered
in favor Of it. Why. with cur con-
trolling representation in Congress. it
is permitted 10 cucumber the statute
book is, as Dundrcary would say.
zone Of those things which no fellow
can find out" Certainly, no gooa
reason can he found out for it. But
now that the South shares Western
ideas on this subject. there is
a possibility that a different system OF
political economy will be inaugurated.
Our tariff, as we now have it. is
based upon precisely the same princi-
pie which, over a century ago. precip-
itated the war of the revolution. The
subject matter Of it reduced to the
last analysis, was commercial revolt
against a long established system of
false political economy. Then. as
now, gold and silver were considered
the only values. Whatever we pur-
chased from abroad was accounted rs
so much wealth taken from our own
people. Export duties were. there
fore, laid upon raw materials. in order
to cheaper them BY maintaining a sur
plus at home, and thus shut out for
eign aud encourage home manufac-
lures. Bounties, Oh the same princi-
pie, were laid on manufactured exports.
and prohibitions on the expectation Of
specie, machinery and labor. The
one ruling idea in all commercial ma
tons was to sell all they could and
buy as little As possible. To this end.
industry was forced as it is now. and
trade was fettered. The colonial sys-
tenn was part Of this general plan.
1t is the mother of our present system.
But then there was no West and South
with their tee,ning millions Of agri-
cultural laborers. We were not then,
as now, the grararies Of the world,
compelled to pay a tribute upon our
outgoing produce, and buy our man
ufactured articles at home with the
cost of enormous protective duties
added. 1t had then never entered the
mind Of an American economist Il
lew tax upon the industries of one
part of the country that those Of an
other part might enjoy a monopoly.
That was a scheme Of Republican
legislation. against which an indig.
nant protest is going up from the Mis-
sissippi to the Pacific. As long as the
Republican party ruled the nation. il
was UNDECIDED; but 1t can be so M
longer. A different sentiment rule:
in Congress. The same old revolu-
tionary idea of equal rights TO all
whether they live in the West or the
East, has taken shape and aim, and il
is more than probable that the pres
cnt session will not adjourn until We
have obtained what VIC are clearly en-
titled to, a modification Of that falls.
and unjust system Of political econom!
which has been inaugurated with tn
sole design of making the young an'
|. vigorous West, with her iIlimitabl'
wealth, "a newer of wood and drawe
Of water" n the East. The time ha
gone nv when such an arrangement
will he submitted to in silence. Tn,
theory. that domestic manufacture
must be protected at the public ex
3ensc, is Republican and not Dem
ocratic idea.

1t was thought worthy ofnote when

last week she went one better, giving
birth to four. None got away, and

doing well. Further than this: the
