GentlenesS.

Gentleness, in its highest form, rules
where art is supreme. The poet. painter
and musician should be its noblest expo
nents. Students in every grade, in hsto
ry. science, law and medicine. follow hard
after the preceding trio. Mechanical
craftsmen come next as opponents OF the
virtue. The three classes, in degree, ad.
vance as they are led by genlleness. The
genuine spirit is Almost unknown amongst
tradesmen. Buying and selling appeals
so much to the baser elements of nature,
that in the merchant this cardinal virtue
is almost choked at its birth. There is a
counterfeit of base cunning that passes
current, but the simplest tests will
always reveal its untrue charac-
ter. Gentleness is no barrier to
mental or physical vigor. 1t both pro.
notes and directs effort. 1t should never
be fawningly submissive, but rather proud
of conscious power. While it fearlessly
holds in check coward blow, with a
strong arm it metes out punishment to a
cruel braggart. 1t lends to the loveiest
woman an undying charm, and from it the
bravest man can ever borrow subtle
fascination. 1t is no chameleon like hope
and fear, today rejecting delicate tints Of
sunlight, tomorrow the sickly hue of
lead. 1t is test of higher education
and shining proof of mental equipoise
1t is the boon companion of gayest pleas.
ure, and the unrelenting avenger of mali
cious injury. Gentleness makes children
endurable, women lovable and men adj
mirable.

Why the Brothers Fought Their
Duel and How it Ended.

Jim and Tom Hardy were brothers who
came to Lesdville in the earlier DAYS and en-
gagged in mining. Notwithstanding the near
ness of their relationship and that they were
partners in living and working, it was known
that there was feeling of hatred for each
other in their breasts which would occas onally
crop out in some burst of passion on the
slightest preteXt Those who knew them
best shook their heads and prophesied that
there would be blood spilled some day between
them. One night there was sound of
quarrel of more than usual bitterness COM
ing from their cabin, but as their alterations
were of common occurrence no particular at
tention was paid to it. When the morning
shift, to which they belonged. went to work
| neither of the Hardy's made their appearance.
| At noon several Of the men went to their
cabin to inquire the cause OF their absence.
| There they saw on low cot or bunk the
younger brother, Tom, with a pool of blood
around him and a knife wound through his
J heart. On the floor, and so near the door a.
to almost block the space, the body having to
| be pushed aside before an entrance could be
effected, was the other brother, with the
murderous instrument still clasped in his
right hand. Both men had apparently been
| dead for some time.
| There were packets ofletters in the brothers
cabin, and from them the miners concluded
that both had been in love with the same
RI in their eastern home that she, evidently
a coquette, had trlhed with them both, writing
| TO each one alternately, the reception OF
| these letters by one of the brothers invariably
leading to a quarrel. each repetition being
more violent than the previous one From
one of the later letters it would seem that
Tom. the younger and handsomer of the tw o,
was the favorite. and from the fact that this
fatal epistle was lying on the floor by the
side of Jim's body, soaking, in fact, in his
blood, it was inferred that he by some means
obtained possession of and read it, and in his
jealous fury had killed his brother, and then
| realizing the enormity of the crime. had put
an end to his own existence. The facts of
the tragic affair were s,nt East and til.
bodies given decent burial
In beautiful little park near the city, on
the borders of the dashing Arkansas, stands
| the old cabin, dismantled and fast falling into
ruin. II was never occupied afterwsrd, the
superstitious miners declaring that the moan
ings Of the night wind as it whistled or sobbed
through its many chinks and iatersrices were
the voices of the rival brothers, whose spiriIs
still fingered around the place. short dis
lance from the cabin can vet be seen two
rude boards marking the graves. the murmur
ing of the little river and the soughing of the
gentle winds in the bran hes of the trees
over them making ever . mournful requiem.
This story was gwen to Leadville Herald
Democrat reporter and vouched for by an
old miner - true tale of the two desolate
graves and dismantled cabin.

THE CAMBRIDGE DISASTER.
Why was the Steamer or Her Course

Various reasons have been advanced for
the Cambridge disaster. The officers say
that there Was no iron stored near the COM
pass and Capt. Rogers, the pilot, has stated
that he was running on correct time and was
on the regular course. Capt. John c. Con.
don of Belfast has one of the best reasons yet
advanced, according to the Journal. Capt
Condor has fished in the vicinity of the Old
Man for many years, and is as familiar with
the coast as any man in Maine. He says the
current is governed by the wind to large
extent. Hours before an easterly wind there
is q strong current setting in towards the
shore. The wind was easterly on the day of
the disaster. Capt. Condor says, in his opin-
ion, the strong current setting westerly struck
the Cambridge on the stsrbosrd bow, setting
her inshore Of course, the pilots understand
the natural course of the tides, but they have
no knowledge of the abnormal cases. While
the Cambridge was speeding along her usual
course on that pleasant morning the treach-
erous tide was eating her inshore until it
brought her directly on to the Old Man.
