Pen Picture of Melilla.

Upon an irregular square peninsula of
ragged limestone rock, less than 10 acres
in area, the fort of Melilla stands. From
height of 60 feet to 100 feet and moreI
its grim, gray walls frown upon the dark
blue waters. 1t is a stronghold of ap-s
proved medieval and romancist type;'
mighty walls, strengthened by many
high, round towers, drawbridges, port
cullis, profound gateways, dark case
ments and rock hewn labyrinthian pas
sages and dungeons. Within the devious
lines of the forts walls is built the true
Melilla, a town of ups and downs, whose
streets are lanes barely wide enough to
let panier laden donkey pass. With
out, on still more irregular and uneven
ground, an outer and inferior wall in
closes probably 20 acres of land given
over to kind of market place by the
waters edge and few shanties and
places of business.
The outnost girdle consists of six de-
tached stonebuilt forts. Three are like
those at Spithead, and the others are
larger works of rectangular shape akin to
those on Chatham and Potsdown heights,
but of course without the big bitches.
The Spaniards have evidently bestowed
care upon all of them, as they are far su-
perior to anything our military authori-
ties thought fit to erect at Suakin. At
this moment it isl town crowded beyond
all English notions of dangerous over
packing.-London Telegraph.

Some Municipal Martyrs.

We will not tell where they are. We
can only mention that they are in peni-
Tertiary. They were put there because
they We're tried and found guilty in their
capacities of election judges and super
visors of receiving illegal votes and max
ing false returns so as to manufacture a
majority for certain candidates. This is
the baldheaded fact.
But the glory and glamour of martyr
dom, heroism and devotion that have
been thrown around them is something
to be regarded with admiration not un-
mingled with awe. 1t rises to the region
of poetry and high art. The men were
true to the gentlemen who hired them.
They We're hired to manufacture MAORI
ties for certain candidates. They did it,
gotarrested, tried and sent to the peni-
tertiary. They are martyrs to a great
principle; they suffered in noble cause;
therefore their families must be sup
ported while they are in Jail. The Office
holders whom they helped to elect are
levied on every month to pay the rent
and grocery bills of their families.
Some of the martyrs families are even
said to branch out into unaccustomed
luxury while the husband and father
languishes in durance vile. 1t takes a
good deal of money to keep these fami-
lies going, and the officers must go down
deep in their pockets. 1t is said they
don't like 1t, not the least little bit, but
what would you have? They got their
offices. This story shows the beautiful
workings of municipal politics in some
cities of free America.

THE
Londonderry Sitter.
So. Londonderry, Vermont.
Gabbic and nabble.

It is astonishing how much converse
ton is apparently necessary to run this
world "She says and II say" Says
he" and Says II greet the ear about 900
times day, more or less. A group Of
three or four people make click clack
like a typewriting machine, What do
they talk about? Chiefly trivial person
al matters that a reasonable human be-
ing ought to be ashamed to remember,
much less repeat.
The object of talk should be to COM
municate needed information or to give
pleasure and entertainment in a way
that is MT degrading or demoralizing.
What is called "the news" of neigh
borhood is commonly both vulgar and
demoralizing. Will it improve heart,
mind or morality to know that Miss A
has bought red hat with green feath-
er, or that Mrs. B and her husband quar-
rel awfully, and that G has a lot of fur
niture that he cannot pay for and must
send back to the store? On thecontrary,
it tritters away your memory, makes
you ill natured vulgar minded and emp
ty headed to know all the petty personal
affairs of those about you, Keep your
soul high and clear upon plane above
contemplate personalities. Nine-tenths
of the gibble gable of men and women
has no reason for being. Personalities
are not fit subjects for conversation
among intellectual and cultivated peo-
pie They never are subjects of CONVEX
sation among such people. The Guilt
waited, intellectual person who can talk
of science, philanthropy, art, and the
sweet, grand thought of men, when as
sailed by some babbling idiot with tor
rent of personalities, feels as though
torrent of muddy water were pouring
into his ears.

A Portrait of Napoleon.

When they examine the portrait of
Napoleon which The Century magazine
publishes this month, the admirers of
Major William Mckinley of Ohio will
conclude that they have not Gattered
their hero much in ascribiDg to him a re-
semblance to the great conqueror. The
Century's picture is from drawing
made by Captain Marryat, on board the
Bellerophon. Napoleon was taken i'm
mediately afterward from the Beller-
ophon and sent to Elba on the ship Nor
cumberland. An interesting fact in the
history of the picture, drawing in wa
ter colors, is that it was presented to the
officers mess at West Point by Henry
Irving 1t is now at the military academy.
The honest British eye and hand of
Captain Marryat stripped the Napoleon
face and figure of all the idealizing trick
cry that are employed by the French
artists in delineating them. Consequent
ly we see here merely a little, sour look
ing, round shouldered, short legged man
with big stomach. That is all The
nose is sharp and skinny; even the chin,
while pointing far forward, is not square
and finely chiseled as one would expect
that of very great man to be. OF the
almost ideally beautiful profile. the ex-
preston of majesty and power we are
accustomed to associate with the face of
Napoleon, there is not trace. II is
probably the most accurate portrait of
him in existence.

Christmas Giving.

How many slippers that no man can
wear, rickety homemade lamp shades
that nobody can use, bits of pasteboard
painted in daubs that would give an ar
fist the ague, calendars that will hang
up and get smoky few weeks and then
be pitched into the CRATE. inexpensive
trifes,"" that will litter the parlor till
they drive the man of the house into u.s.
ing bad language, then they, too. will go
into the grate-how many of these items
will be presented to people who have
money, in the expectation that the giving
of the wretched little nuisances will be
recognized and rewarded by something
in the shape of genuinely valuable and
handsome present!
Let us turn over new leaf this year.
Let us for once be independent ard
bring back Christmas gifts to their O. g
inal intention-the giving out of pure
love or good will to the persons to whom
we want to give, and nobody else. If
we love anybody dearly, we naturally
will give to that person something use
full or beautiful and artistic, the best we
can afford, and our hearts will go out
joyfully with the gift. If, again, we
wish to assist some one who is less for
tunate than we are-some worthy i'll
dividual, mind you, none of the gang of
hungry, greedy parasites who always
hang Sround people with money at
Christmas time-then let us give to this
one also.
But to those who merely "expect some
thing" of us, not one cents worth! Let
us make our declaration of independ-
ence and institute revolution. Do not
give one dime to the tramp or profess
sional beggar who besets you ON Christ
mas morning. The tramp ought to starve

abundantly, for the beggar already. 1t
is well to give in charity, but find out

Several officers from the regular army
have been detailed to give instruction
in the military drill in various schools of
the country. The idea cannot be too
highly commended. 1t will keep the idle
officers of the war department out of
mischief, and it will give the youths in
school the best kind Of physical exercise
and a graceful carriage besides. It is
nonsense to say.that the military drill
fosters warlike spirit in young men and
should therefore not be encouraged. The

oUTLAWRY EAST AND WEST.
Vigorous Reply of a Missouri Editor to an
Alleged Superior.

Alleged Superior.
II Is always the joy Of certain class
Of people to seem scholarly, superior and
philosophical, Persons of this sort talk
about geographical influences on civil
cation and spin theories about character
and climate. They do not understand
these theories, but they think they will
startle common people much as the witch
tales of the garrulous grandsire scares
the children.
People who talk about the prevalence
Of outlawry in the west are of this ilk.
Given little less intelligence, and they
would operate "divihng rod tofocate
gold; little less, and They would hunt
up "charms" IN the dark of the moon to
drive away .he "roomatiz;" little less,
and they would be voodoo doctors, dis
pensing snake oil and broth made of black
cats eyes. There are very few removes
from the voodoo priest to the piggish
simpleton who gibbers about the outlaw
ry Of the west.
Theirs is no more outlawry in the west
than there is in the east. 1t wasn't so
very long ago that Oliver Curtis Perry,
New York highwayman, robbed train
and stole an engine on which to make
his escape. Just last week a gang of
tramps, less than 100 miles from New
York, stole train Of Pullman cars and
held it "a hours, and the officers dared
not approach to modest them.
The Homestead affair happened At the
east; the Borden murder and the Car sty
Warden murder both occurred in por-
ton of the east that is particularly effete;
Mrs. Halliday of Newburg, who killed
mess of summer boarders for breakfast
and butchered her husband for tea, is an
eastern product. The man who raked
100000 out of treasury vault was an
eastern man, and Carlyle Harris was of
the east eastern. He rolled his RS"
broadened his 'as" and wore pointed
beard.
The list might be continued indefinite
ly and the whole west searched for
parallel to any of the horrors of the east.
The "outlawry" in the country beyond
the Missouri river sounds wise, ponder
Gus and scholarly when used on theother
side of the Allogbanics, but it will not
bear close inspection. Outlawry has
no ''pent up Utica Ithaca, Elmira, Al
bany, Kings county or Springfield,
Mass, to contract its powers. 1t is as
broad in extent as man is depraved.-
