Then I was climbing up the hill.

So please don't glide along SO fast.

For down there where the frost Is white
And the burrows are deep and wide.

Compared to the bright noontide.

Slow down. my strength is almost spent

Russian Intrigue I'm AbySsinia.
New York Evening Post.

Every effort was made to impress and
dazzle the Ahyssinian mission which ar
rived recently in st. Petersburg. The
members were lodged at the government
expense in handsome quarters in the Ho-
tel de rEurope and were entertained
sumptuously. \ correspondent on the
spot writes to London newspaper:
Special religious services are being per-
formed for their benefit. at which every
effort is being made to impress them with
the power and magniacence of the Rus
sian church. No less a parsonage than
the metropolitan palladius officiated a Il
service IN the Nevshv monastery and af-
forwards presented the Abyssinian bish-
op with a costly icon Of the Kazan Ma
donna. No such splendor Of orthodox rit-
ual as that which was displayed before
the astonished Abyssinians is ever seen
here as a rule az any other time than the
Russian Easter. II has been discovered
that the Abyssinians at home are sadly
in need of the proper orthodox symbols
of faith, and il is proposed TO send them
n cargo of Russian holy pictures. The
members of the mission have already re-
celved a number OF handsome church
presents, and even bouquets of flowers
have been sent to them by anonymous
admirers. The municipal council. with
the mayor. has sent a special deputation
to their hotel with congratulations. and
a banquet I'm their honor is to be organ

advocates, and consequently there is
something to be said on each side; but
upon the whole ii is, think. fair TO say
that experience replies, Attack the men.
And the reason is much the same as 100
years ago: not only is il impossible TO
have the men as well protected as the mo-
tive power, but the destruction OF the men
who handle the offensive powers of the
ship make the motive power practically
useless.
Now the weight which n ship of given
size can carry is limited. and must be dis
tributed among several objects, of which
Gun-power is one; and the question has TO
be met. How shall this gun-power be sub
divided among the different classes OF
gum IF your aim is the motive power
you want heavy guns: for the motive pow
er-the engines and hoilers-are given the
utmost possible protection by position. by
the thickest armor. by the coal stowage, the
protective deck. and so on. TO pierce which
great force is required. But heavy guns
mean few guns, and few guns mean few
shots, and few shots mean fewer hits;
while of those that hit, If they strike the
protective system of the engines, etc,
fewer still penetrate. a truth long fore
seen. vet very generally dropped out of
sight. and which the Yalu battle has sin
gularly confirmed.
On the other hand the weight of ar,nor
required to protect the waterline AIDE
quately makes it Impossible TO extend by
similar means adequate protection 10 the
battery spaces, except only those occupied
by the heavy guns; and even where
these are adequately protected-imper-
vious, that is, TO the missiles from those
lighter guns technically calleH rapid
fire'-there can be no question that their
accuracy OF fire is singularly embar-
raised. For that reason ii is sought TO
aim and fire them from an exterior posi-
tion-the coming tower, for instance-a
plan of which it is enough to say here
that, except for the heaviest guns, it is
tending to fall into disuse.
Considering the vast Importance of Sc
curing the best practice from the heavy
guns-for / am not at all arguing against
them, only against their excessive number
it becomes necessary to beat down and
keep down all the other fire of the enemy.
If success in this is attained a distinct
and immense advantage is gained for the
heavy guns over those of the enemy; for,
If the rapid-fre guns which have estab-
lished their ascendancy cannot penetrate
the turrets, they can greatly annoy the
men in them, and may enter the gunports.
This superiority, if maintained, must re-
suit in victory. 1t has long seemed TO me
that the mutual relations of the heavy
and rapid-fire guns of n ship have a
strong analogy to a field battery of artil-
lery and it's infantry supports, the latter
of which at once protect and secure the
efficient service of the former However
that may be, the rapid-firc gun of moder-
ate caliber has just now fairly established
its position as the greatest offensive pow
er in naval warfare.
