A Russian C,unc;l Of War.

1here was no forward movement this
day, but long council Of war, from
which old Krudener went away gloomi-
~. predicting defeat; for he had re-
monstrated against the attempt which
was to be made. and which was to be
carried out only in Obedience to per-
emptory orders from the commander
in-chief of the Russian army.
This council of war would have been
. very interesting spectacle to any one
unfamiliar with the personnel of the
Russian army. On the windy plain,
outside the tents constituting Schahov-
skoy's headquarters, had gathered rep
resentatives Of all the types Of Russian,
oflicerhood. Here was the gray beard
ed, hard-faced old major who. without
''protection," had fought his sturdy way
up through the grades, with long do.
lays. much hard service, and r,any
wounds. He had been an ensign IN the
Crimea, and afterward was forgotten,
for nobody knows how many years, in
some odd corner Of the Caucasus. He
is only major, poor old fellow; but he
has half-a-dozen decorations, and,
please Cod he will gain another TO-
morrow, il he has the luck 70 stand up.
He is rs hard MS nails, and would as
soon live on biscuit and ''salt-hOrse" a.
on champagne and French cbokery.-
There Is little in common between him
and the tall, stately. grizzled general
by his side, who is an aid-de-camp OF
the Emperor; grand seigneur OF the
court, yet who has never forsworn the
camp; man who will discuss with you
the relative merits of Patti and Lucca;
who has yachted in the Mediterranean,
shot grouse In the Scottish highlands,
and gone after buffalo on the prairies
of America; who wears his decorations,
too, some Of them earned in the fore
front of the battle, others as honorary
distinctions, or marks of imperial favor.
He can gallop, can this young hussar in
the blue-and-red; he can cut the sword
exercise; he can sing French songs; he
would give his last cigarette either TO q
comrade or to stranger, like myself:
and Id his secret heart he has vowed to
earn the Cross OF st. George tomorrow.
Till the very end Of the war never
took quite heartily to Lieutenant Bruto-
koff-the very opposite of the swell
young hussar have described. The
first time that met him, knew that
disliked him down to the ground. His
manners-well, he had none to speak Of
and his voice was a. growl, with q
hoarscness in it begotten Of schnapps.
He did not look as If he washed copi-
ously, and he was the sort OF man who
might give some color to the notion that
the Russian has not yet quite broken
himself of the custom of breakfastinv oil
tallow candles. But he turned out not
. bad fellow on further acquaintance,
and would share his ration with a stray
dog. -ArcAibaid Forbes, in the March 81.

BECAUSE of the foolish jury laws
which practically forbid the empan-
neling of intelligent men, those that
read and take an interest in what is
going on in the country, the Nashville
court was two weeks trying to get a
jury in the Polk case for stealing $500.
600 from the State Treasury. Over
a thousand men we're examined and
the twelve men at last obtained are
the most illiterate set that ever filled
a jury box. Some of them can not
read and none of them were able to
sufficiently understand the questions
asked them. They are just the kind
of men always obtained in an impor-
tant case and must be till there is an
improvement in the law. The trial
is bound TO end in farce with such
men to pass judgment. 1t is singu-
lar fact that just as the case was about
ready for trial, it was discovered that
the ledger containing the alleged false
entries in the Treasurer's office, and
which was to play an important part
in the great trial, had been stolen.
There seems to be good deal of
rottenness around the Capital of Ten
nessee and it will come out later that
Polk is not the only thief and scoun-
drel connected with the establish.
ment.
