did his work well. The first one was a
poor swimmer and badly frightened, but
the second had powerful stroke and was
evidently at home in the water. He seized

Anew Glimpse at Wellington
uondon Saturday Review.

London SATURDAY REVIEW
In looking at more than one episode in
WellingtOn's career we gee that, like many a
General since his time, he was hampered
by a pragmatical government at home, and
that his whole aim in war-unllke NapOle-
on s-was rather 10 protect MS country
against failure than TO win success Tor him.
self. His caution and his calculating In
stinct are " ell illustrated in his words to
Mrs. Croker, "All the business OF war
and indeed all the business of lite, is to
endeavor to find out what you don't know
by what you do know; that's what called
guessing what was ON the other side OF the
hill" His views, too, as to the probability
of his success, as expressed on the eve OF
his facing the French, form a fit text to the
whole history of his tactics in the PENN
sula. There was a worldwide discussion
in those times about the enemy's new
system of maneuvers Wellington had no
faith in the new system. He believed in
the superiority of his own. II think it a
false one" he said, against troops steady
enough, as hope mine will be, to receive
them with the bayonet. | suspect all the
Continental armies were more than half
beaten before the battle was begun. l at
least will not be frightened beforehand. ="
That his series of brilliant success during
that memorable campaign, IN the face OF
the Encouragement, want OF confidence and
ipepitude of two governments, were In no
sense due to the lucky star" to which so
many of his detractors had recourse, is pro-
vided over and over again by the records
here collected together.
To the oft-repeated charges OF hardness
there are manifold answers, and no one who
has really studied the principals of dlscl-
Mine practiced by Wellington can fail to
admit that he was guided by that sound
conception of mercy which makes 1t duty
10 sacrifice ones life to spare thousands
OF his grief at the sacrifice that was in
yolved there is not the shadow of doubt.
The man who said that nothing was more

Strength of the Strongest Man in the
south.
In 1876 the late Calvin j. Baseby, known
as the strongest man in the South, was
among the passengers on a Memphis and
Little Rock Railway train. The train
stopped in the Mississippi river bottoms
and the conductor who came through the
car where Baseby was seated stated, upon
being asked, that he did not know how
long it might be before the train could pro
ceed, that part of a trestle had given
way, and that to repair the damage might
be the work of several hours. Baseby,
with number of other passengers, got out
to look at the break. 1t was found that a
post, supporting beam upon which the
rail rested had been broken.
We'll have to chop down tree and end
up log under it," said railroad hand.
No" said Baseby, "Pll hold up the
beam till the train passes over"
Those who were not disposed to laugh
sneered at him; but, unruffled, he put his
shoulder under the beam, and, standing on
the ground, raised it into place.
Tell the engineer to 60 ahead" he re-
marked.
The engineer was standing there looking
at him "You are fool" said he
That's all right Baseby replied. Take
your train over and well talk about that
afterward"
Who are you?' the conductor asked.
Il am Calvin Baseby."
"Jim," said the conductor, speaking TO
the engineer IL know him. Go ahead"
The train moved forward As the engine
was passing over Baseby frowned just a
trife but by the time the sleeper came
along he was smiling sereuely. He was
undoubtedly an able bodied man.-Ar-
