Chronicle 'Undertones"
There is tremendous amount of
irrespop psible and unintelligible clev-
erness about now. 1t is astonishing
not to say paralyzing, to find out on
examination of the author of some
clever piece of work that be or she
never knew exactly what 1t was in-
tended for. / remember long ago
praising an actress for some particu-
lar little bit of business which seemed
to me to be the conscious production
0f an artistic mind. She heard nv
compliments with some little con-.
fusion.
"Art," she said. "Why / never
knew did it. Do / really do that gD
And she tried it, but could not for
the life of her reproduce it. Very
frequently an old actor, now in town,
playing in piece, has asked me
quietly and confdentially after the
performance
Say, what is this play about ~

men at the drills have nothing to do
with this work.
Contractor Farwcll. sinewy. clear
headed young western man, took
the reporter down shaft No. p. where
the tunnel was bored two hundred feet
each way. Here everything was in
slick shape. and almost every mechau-
ical contrivance known TO miners was
IN use.
..We have over $25, 900 worth of ma
chinery and appliances exclusive Of the
slugger drills, said Mr.. Farwell, 'sand
we are getting in more every day.
Next week we viii have our mules. I
had a gray mule offered to me very
cheap, but wouldn't have it as gift.
They are unlucky. We bought gray
mule once and put 1t on one of our
Mississippi river steamboats,. The re-
suit was that the boat was sunk and
we had strike among the men. For
the sake of the safety of the aqueduct
/ wouldn't put q gray mule to work
here for any sum OF money"
After an inspection of the work Mr..
Farwell said:
The rock which is cxcayated is, in
a great many cases, very fine. 1t be-
long to the city, and tell you 1t was q
sharp dodge to reserve that right, for
our dump alone will be worth at least
$4,000 for concrete and building

$150,000.

THE TEST OF BRAVERY.
1t Is the Battlefield That Tests Mans
Courage Under Fire.

It Is the Battlefield That Tests Mans
Courage Fire.
New York Sun.
Let child or woman fall overheard
and a dozen men are ready to spring
after and save them. That is bravery,
but it is bravery born in impulse. Let
human face appear at the window
of a burning building and dozen
men will risk their lives in the effort
to extend help. That is bravery, but
it is bravery born of pity and excite
ment. Let man but hear the cry of
woman in peril and be will rush to
her rescue and deliver her at any
cost That is bravery, but it is the
brayery of honor and chivalry. Let
man be surrounded by wolves and
all escape cut off and be will fight
until pulled down. That is bravery,
but it is the bravery of despair.
It is the battlefield which tests a
mans courage A regiment is in
line on the edge of a wood. Between
the two is meadow bare of the
slightest shelter. The regiment is
ordered to advance. As the line
moves out into the clear sunlight
every man will reason to himself
"The enemy is posted in the oppo-
site timber Before we are half way
over be will open on US With shell.
One battery will cover our regiment
al front. This is my last day"
So each man reasons, but every
face is sternly set 'front.'" and not
foot misses step as the line pushes
across the meadow. The shells come
and dozens Of men are blown to CORY
fragments, but the line moves on as
before, and the living reason:
.The fire will presently change
from shell to grape and canister, and
then shall certainly be hit"
The prediction is verified. Gaps
are opened through the double line,
but only to be closed again. The regi-
ment has lost best its marching step,
and its lines are no longer perfect, but
the movement is still onward, and
men reason:
"The infantry are in support OF the
battery. / have escaped shell and
grape, but when we come under the
IRE of musketry we shall be slaugh-
tered 70
There il no hanging back, no OBJ
liquing to right or left, no other
thought than to push ahead The
grape ceases, and lead takes the place
of iron. The lines are further disor-
dered, and the left wing bas lost its
front" by thirty feet, but the wave
does not stop. As it rolls forward
men grip their muskets tighter, their
eyes flash. their teeth shut bard, and
and they reason:
ssIn a minute more we shall be near
enough Then we shall charge 'em
with the bayonetl Then will be Q
hand4to- hand fight, and ! surely must
be killed or wounded, but let US al

rel that only last week threatened
to involve we'll nigh half the world
in war.
1t is still possible, of course. that
the negotiations which have been
instituted in the interests of peace
may yet fail, and suggestions are
not wanting that Russia's present
attitude has only been assumed for
the purpose of gaining time for nee
essary preparation and will be
promptly exchanged upon slight
pretext for a more aggressive one,
whenever she is ready to begin no :
tilities in earnest. These sugges-
tions, however, do not appear to be
well considered, and are certainly
inconsistent with the general line of
action now being followed by the
Russian government. 1t is more
probable that the Gar and his ad-
visers have been impressed by the
determined stand taken by the En-
glish government, and are not dis
posed to try conclusions with an ad-
versary that is powerful enough to
make the issue a doubtful one, to
say the least, and that would be dis
posed to make the consequences of a
Russian defeat in Asia a very seri-
Gus matter for the empire of the
Gar in Europe as well.
Whatever may be the reasons
that have led to their adoption,
there is room for congratulation that
wiser and more pacific counsels have
so far prevailed on both sides as to
lead to a renewal of negotiations and
the appeal to arbitration. Neither
England nor Russia can afford to
go to war upon so slight a pretext
as that afforded by the skirmish at
Penjdeh. and the whole of Afghan
istan would not be worth a 1.-THE Of
the blood and treasure that would
be sacrificed in a struggle over the
proper location of the disputed
boundary line.

discourses thus stusibIy: persons
who complain that the substitution
of democratic for republican officials
in the federal service is proceeding
very slowly should remember that it
is nevertheless going on, and that
there are still at least three years
and ten months in which to complete
it. The people, no doubt, voted last
November for a change, but they
are not in a hurry. They see that
there must be careful delibera-

shortcomings of the republicans are

TRIAL BY Jury.

Since the modern newspaper Wis
its every household and disseminates
intelligence to call the world and
his wife" the jury system, in crimi-
nal cases, has been brought, partly
by craft and partly by design, re-
marks our contemporary the Angus
ia Chronicle, into serious disrepute.
AS every man of sense reads the pa
pers, and therefore has become ac-
quainted with all details of crimi-
nal offenses, forming some opinion
of the subject, he becomes disquali-
fed for duty. The Knoxville Jour
nal utters a truth when it says that
ga large majority of those who are
placed on trial for murder prefer an
ignorant, pliable, to an honest, in
telligent jury. They are more east
ly influenced by the sophistry of
lawyers. They are less capable of
grasping and grouping facts. They
are not so apt to comprehend the
rulings of courts. They are much
more likely to return favorable yer.
diets or to disagree among themsel.
YES"
The manipulation of men to form
juries has, in some localities become
an art. In this way justice is toe
often impossible, and if the criminal
has money or influence enough, he
may reasonably expect to escape
punishment altogether or else be LET
off tenderly.
1t is about time, adds the Savan
nah Times, to have reform in the
jury system. This is presumed t.
be the age of reform, and nowhere
is it more imperatively demanded
than in the Temple of Justice, Sc
called.

rHEPRoMIsE OF PEACE.

The Charleston News and Courier
says Mr.. Gladstone's statement, in
the house of commons on Monday,
confirms the recent reports that the
Russian and English governments
are disposed to settle the questions
at issue between them without a re-
sort to arms, and, of course, upon a
basis consistent with the honor and
pride of both parties. The condi-
tions of the renewal of friendly re-
lations, as announced, are that the
former negotiations in regard to the
establishment of the main points of
the line of the Afghan frontier shall
be continued in London, leaving the
details to be settled hereafter in
conformity with the terms already
agreed upon, while the consideration
of explanations in regard to the Pen
jdeh incident viii be referred to an
arbitrator, who, it is believed, will
be found in the person of the En-
peror William. Russia has made
the important concession of announc.
