Russian Courage.

should rather incline to think that
mere courage Is more general among
Russians than among any other kind
of people nowadays. l mean the un-
reasoning, irresponsible steadiness of a
dog to risk life and liberty upon provo
cation. Not more volunteers rush out
when desperate enterprise is mooted,
than from our own ranks; more than
all is math hematicaI absurdity. But
the Englishman stakes his life in
another, a grander spirit. He feels
and reckons with the peril. Before
meeting it, SO far as have seen from
example, he is quiet, thoughtful, con-
templating the worst, and making his
arrangem ents. A Russian scorns all
that, does even think of it. After as
suring kimself rather roughly that the
needful dispositions have been made,
he becomes the lightest hearted of the
company to which he hastens. l do
not say affects to become, for it may
well be that deadly danger stirs him
to mirth, as it stirs another man equal
ly brave to self commune. I cannot
forget an instance on Radisove Hill
the morning Of the great attack. An
infantry regiment stood at ease in the
rain, waiting the order tc descend into
valley blind with smoke, echoing with
thud of guns and angry crackle of mus
kerry. The colonel and staff captain
approached and asked us to accept a
charge of letters for their wives, to be
forwarded in case of accident. Then
they stood, chatting of London and
Paris. with the warmth of men whose
hearts were there, though the battle
ragged closer, and ball now and then
musically spun over our heads. They
asked the precise story of a scandal
half forgotten now, and their shrewd
comments told they were attending
closely, when al aid came galloping
through the mist. Three minutes af
terward the doomed regiment fled
away down toward the valley of death
