Condemned in the cause that you plead:
My only defense is the simple request
That you'll judge me by motive. not deed

You say that you look for man and 4

You ask for man without fault.

A woman who has an aim in life,
Who finds life worth the living,
Who makes the world better for being here,

l was strolling with Mackav some
years ago in Virginia City, when we
looked down a smoking cavity in the
ground that was soon lost in the dark
ness, and at the mouth of which wind
lass was slowly grinding. 'sOut Of that
hole" he said, II took $3.50, 600 900 In
bullion This was one Of the famous
Bonanza mines, whose history all men
know. The Big Bonanza, as it was
called, and as Mackay described it to me
at the time, was a kidney or
s'pocket' of crude ore, about as high az
the steeple of Trinity and in area as
large as the City Hall park of New York.
This ore, shoveled out and reduced.
gave the stupendous yield to which MI.
Mackay referred, and was the founda-
ton of the Bonanza fortunes.
Associated with him were three other
gentlemen, whose names were to win a
worldwide mining fame James q. Fair,
afterward senator from Nevada, whose
skill as mining expert had attracted
the attention of Mackay; William
O'Brien, and James c. Flood. O'Brien
and Flood had come to California as
friends in the Argonaut days, and had
like other men taken their humble parts
in the creation of the Pacific states. In
those times men who were to be major
generals in the army drove drays for a
living. Others who were to become
luminous in craftsmanship and iuris-
prudence joyfully mended their own
trousers and washed their own linen.
They were partners" a term that
Bret Harte has pathetically explained

friendship such as we who live outside

the love of man and woman.

Flood was the financial representative
and the ally Of the two young miners
who were at work on the Bonanza;
O'Brien, the partner" in the firm, be-
cause Flood could have no interest he
did not share.
O'Brien passed away in Bonanza
times-Flood not many months since, in
Germany. He was a brave, independ-
ent, reserved, conscientious man. es-
pecially charming and true in the higher
relations of life-no better citizen, no
truer friend-i'in all that goes toward
the true development Of manhood, the

silence had fallen. 81 know only one
man in the world that can break me.

Is there any handsome people on the
face Of the globe? Now, we may set
aside the black and yellow and poly
chrome races in general, many Of whom
are well shaped and like bronze statues
to look upon, but who do not come up
to the Aryan standard in features and
color. Leaving these childreniof nature
out Of the question, it may be confessed
that there is no race among whom beau
ty is common. If the ancient Greeks
We're like their statues, then there once
was beautiful race, but it is not 50
certain that they did not idealize them
selves a good deal. There is the more
reason to guess this. as when they have
to represent barbarian, say a Gaul or
German or professional prize fighter,
they make these people as handsome as
themselves, though in rougher way.
There is famous bronze statue of n
boxer, who might be taken for an orator
or a poet were it not for his heavy metal
studded gloves. Thus it may be deemed
that there IS a great proportion of the
ideal in these statues, vases, coins and fig
ures, where every one is so graceful and
goodly. Every nation has a high opin-
ion Of its own charms. The French
pride themselves on small feet, and it is
certain that their women walk very lit
tie, and have cunning bootmakers.-

Three ragged newsboys were trying
to sell the earlier editions of the after
noon papers. A man carrying large
basket Of fine looking oranges on his
shoulder passed close by. The motion
of his body loosened one of the biggest
and lipest and it fell to tn ground. The
man kept on, not noticing or caring for
the loss. The orange lay upon the pave
ment for about half a minute unseen.
Then the largest of the three ragged
urchins- spied it, and with cry of de-
light he ran over and picked it up 1t
was natural to suppose that he would
proceed to eat it all himself, but instead
of doing so he called his companions and
exhibited his find. They eyed it greed
ily.
Without any request from them for q
share in the coveted fruit the finder di-
vided the orange into three parts and
gave his fellow newsboys each part
The smallest part he reserved for him
self. 1t was only a small thing in itself,
yet it proved, | thought, that there was
something noble hidden under heragged
garments of that little urchin.-New

The German Infantry.
THnrDcr's MuoGziug.

The infantry is the principal arm of the
army. not only in regard to numbers, but for
its capacity of being employed at any time
and i'll any country. 1t forms, consequently,
the principal part of the army. and is organized,
since October !, 1890. in 53S battalions, OF
which 519 are comprised IN 173 regiments,
while 10 are forming Independent Jager bat
taions. The number of infantry regiments
contributed by Prussia is 1873; Bavaria, 20;
Saxony, 12; Wurtemberg g. and of Jaser bat
taions by Prussia, IA (including the Guard,
Schutzen Battalion): Bavaria 2; Saxcny, 3.
The regiments are differently described as
infantry, fusileer. grenadier regiments; also, a
Schuizen regiment in the Twelfth Army Corps;
but they do not differ in armament, training.
and employment. The names of fusileers, gren-
adicrs. ond Schutzen have merely q historical
meaning. In point of fact the infantry In the
German army is unity. which extends also to
the rifles, although they have preserved some
peculiarites. The Prussian rifle battalions

years active service, whereby they establish

Walt Whitman.
fIiarlincotrS.l

I have seen manuscript, a part Of Novem-
Der Boughs," single page Of which was COM
posed of at least dozen kinds of paper written
in black pencil, blue pencil, black ink, and
red ink. Some of the parts of this manuscript
were written on bits of brown straw paper,
others on MANILA paper, others on the blue pa
per that had once formed part of the cover
of pamphlet. and each piece of different
size. shape. and color, suggesting the idea that
as thought or n sentence had como into the
mind of the writer he had made a note of it
and pasted the whole together without think
ing it worth while TO give to the total result
conference or form.
His nickname Walt. he told me himself he
had received from the bus drivers in New
York, with whom he rode as constantly when
he lived in that city as he did with those in
Camden when he made the latter place his
home.
To those who knew him, Walt Whitman was
such straightforward man that the apparent
eccentricity of costume which he affected
seemed almost inexplicable, as indeed it was
to me until he told me that he had once
worked at carpentering, and then the idea sug-
gested itself that, after all, the loose rolling
collar exposing the chest and the turned back
cuffs were only c)nvcntionalizcd form OF the
laboring- mans ordinary gorb; and when /
asked Whitman whether this was so he said he
supposed that was the case.

Musical Instruments.

Apollo was the old god of music, and his
favorite instrument the Tyre, was invented by
Mercury. When the latter was four hours old
he found the shell of tortoise, and made 1t
into q Tyre with nine strings, in honor OF the
nine MUSES.. This instrument Mercury gave
to polio. who became wonderful player pom
it. The Tyre was used by the Greeks i'll olden
times and from it was fashioned the harp.
The old time viol was the first Instrument OF
its kind, and furnished the plan for the modern
violin, which, however. is 700 years old. 1t IS
said that Charles ii. introduced it into England
One of the finest makers of yiolins was Stradi-
varius, of Cremona, who existed in the early
part of the 18th century. Fiolins made by
him are worth thousands of dollars now, and
highly esteemed by collectors and performers.
The flute is very old in its origin, but the
flute of to-day is different from that Of the an
clients. 1t has been improved upon from time
to time and the old people would probably fail
to recognize it now. The fageolet which is
somewhat similar, is credited to Juvigny about
1851.
The first trumpet was a sea-shell, and was
used by very old Nations. Trumpets were we'll
known in the days when Homer lived, and a
Jewish feast of trumpets is spoken of in the
Bible nearly 1900 3. G. Alexander the Great
is said to have used speaking trumpet 335
b. G.
The harp, which was suggested by the lutte
is ascribed to Jubal, 1870 b. G., and was King
Davd's favorite instrument. The harp was
used by the Welsh and Saxons, and also by the
ancient peoples of Ireland. One of the oldest
harps in existence is in the Dublin College
Museum, and originally belonged to Brian
Boroihme, King of Ireland.

Black Buck Hunting in India.


The black buck of India is a very graceful
animal, weighing between 30 and 80 pounds.
The hide of the male, when full grown, is of
inky backness OH the back while the belly is
as white as snow; the contrast being very
striking The horns are black and spiral in
shape and in length average about Is inches,
although they have been known to reach 26
inches. The animals are usually found IN
herds, and are difficult to approach on foot, as
the bucks toss their heads into the air from
time to time in very graceful manner, and
some one of them is almost sure to detect any
attempt at stalking They are at times hunted
OH horseback, but the usual method in many
sections is to use conveyance very much like
the back of horse, only shorter. and made of
wood. This is on wheels is drawn by bull
locks, aud is called jungle-cart. 1t is very
close to the ground, and from both sides pro-
iect fat pieces of wood, upon which the feet
rest. The inside is hollow and holds ammuni-
tion and luncheon. 1t is believed that they
take the queer little wooden arrangement on
wheels for plow, and consequently are not
much alarmed as it draws nearer them in ever
decreasing circles. The bulocks move at the
word of command, and are accompanied by a
shikaree, or native hunter The bucks never
seem to fear the inhabitants doubtless havng
learned they are without guns, and therefore
not to be dreaded.

The Famous Unter Den Linden.
Scribner.I


Tt is the widest street of the Capital. In
the middle there is broad, unpaved, but ox-
cellently- cared-for promenade, bounded upon
one side by riding path, and upon the other
by a stone paved road, designed particularly
for heavy vehicles that might interrupt traffic.
Inclosing this central avenue and the two side
ones are four rows of lindens which have given
the street its name But you must not think
of the huge, wonderful lndens of our Northern
Germany. The old trees have suffered great
deal from time and the hostile influences of a
great city, especially from the gas-always
fatal to vegetation-and they are now very
shabby, mean aud melancholy sight. The cleo
trie light has here for some years dispossessed
its rival and CLEANS down from tall, beauti-
fully-shaped posts that are really ornamental.
Parallel with the outermost rows of lindens
there are two more roadways, asphalt on one
side and excellently paved upon the other, and
also a broad sidewalk on both sides; so that
the street has consequently seven divisions:
two sidewalks, three roads for vehicles, bridle-
path and promenade.
