THE ART OF JUSTICE.

Some one has defined paradox as
truth standing on tip-toe. There
could scarcely be better description
of some of the statements made by a
writer in The New Review in an ar
tice entitled "The Art of Justice"
Beginning with the commonplace
statement that it is easy to be just If
ones sympathies are not engaged,
the writer declares, at the outset that
Justice els an art known almost ex-
clusively to persons of the male sex"
though he observes with a fine ex-
cess of candor after such statement,
that cit is not to be supposed that
because all women are unjust all men
are Just" Indeed, even as to men he
is of the opinion that, as rule, if not
invariably, no man is or can be just
who has not acquired somehow or
other, an elaborate education in the
art. AS to the possibility, even, of
women receiving such an education
there is no hint in his article. Justice
in fact, with him, seems to supply "a
distinctive line identical with that
between the sexes" And that there
might not be the slightest miscon-
ception of his position that justice is
peculiarly and exclusively a mascu-
line trait, he observes; II never knew
a woman who either was just, or
seemed to have any conception OF
what justice was, and I do not be-
lieve there is one in the world"
1t may be some comfort to the un-
lust sex to know that in the opinion
of this wise, just writer, very few
men, indeed, have progressed SO far
in their education as to be even fairly
Just. Justice, in another part of his
argument, he defines practically as
being the ability to see both sides OF
a question. But here again another
question comes up. Many questions
are much more than two sided. Some
are polygonal, as Ruskin somewhere
says, and trotting round polygon
to see all of it's sides at once, is a
somewhat arduous labor, it must be
admitted. In other words even man,
to waive woman for the nonce, rare
ly, if ever, attains the perfection
Matthew Arnold had in mind when
he spoke of seeing life steadily, and
seeing it whole. All-seeing, to use
an awkward expression for capacity
for which we have no single equiva-
lent, is an attribute of Deity and
taking this view of the subject, the
writer who perhaps in his haste like
David, calls all women unjust, might
go still further and call all men un-
Just, conclusion which, however
logical from the Review writer's
premises, would have the effect simp-
ly to shut off all further discussion
of the subject, thing that no one
but perfectly "just" writer cares to
do when paid by the page.
1t is scarcely necessary to follow
our paradoxical essayist further in
his disquisitions, it perhaps being
sufficient to say of the entire article
what was once said of a more notable
effort, namely that what is true in it is
not new and what is new is not true.
Addison, long before the Review writ
or, told us in "The Guardian, that
"Justice discards party, friendship,
kindred and is always therefore repre-
sented as blind" SHAKESPEARE also
suggests, "Use every man after his
deserts and who should 'scape whip

AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY

The world is destined to hear much
more of Africa in few years than it
has heard for some centuries. The
Duke of Argyle looks upon the great
work of civilization now going on in
Uganda as one of the most remarka-
BILE features of the Victorian age, and
Stanley has declared that trans
continental African railway from the
Mediterranean to Cape Colony, to be
the most important enterprise now
demanding the attention of British
statesmen. AS the great African ex-
plorer is now a member of Parlia-
ment he is in position to urge and
help forward the great work of re-
deeming Africa to civilization, and
giving it again, perhaps, even greater
prominence than it enjoyed in the
days when Rameses the Great scat
tered monuments of his victims over
all Egypt, or when Carthage con-
tested with Rome for the supremacy
of the world. What may be done in
South Africa, country new to histo-
ry, Premier Cecil Rhodes, of Cape
Colony, has already practically shown
and this masterful and resourceful
man may have still greater part to
play soon in giving to the dark con-
tinent it's rightful place in the histor
and destiny of the human race in the
coming century. With trans CONT
mental railroad from Alexandria to
the Cape of Good Hope, perhaps
operated by electricity generated at
the cataracts of the Nile, then rail-
ways from Uganda to the coast, all of
which have been suggested and pro-
posed, civilization would get hold
on Africa which would soon be felt
transversely from Alden to the Guinea
coast.
What part the proposed Italian
conquest of Abyssinia or the French
conquest of Madagascar may have on
the immediate development of Africa
it is too soon yet even for surmise.
One result is already taking place.
Abyssinia will soon be more thor
oughly known to Europe than ever
before. Already long articles on its
history and antiquities are beginning
to appear, and as to Madagascar,
many of our notions are being cor
rected as to it's people and resources.
The possibility of France obtaining
complete military and political con-
troll of this third largest island of the
world, and founding upon it naval
and military establishment that
might command the Indian Ocean
and England's road to India has sud-
denly awakened Great Britain to the
Importance of political and CONNER
cial astuteness of this move by
France to offset English occupations
in Egypt. The passion for colonial
empire has received wonderful i'm
petus in France since the days when
she stoned the Premier responsible
for Tonquin. and the accession of
colony which in area is greater than
Germany or Austria, and about
equal 70 the combined area of Louisi-
ana, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa,
would be more pleasing to the am
billions of the most warlike people of
Europe. The remarkable fertility of
this great island, also, and its con-
tiguity to the mainland, make it a
tempting prize for whose possession
England and France may yet contend
in arms as they are now contending
in diplomacy.

on a stray piece Of paper. The poem
was soon published in the Atlantic, by
Mr.. James T. Fields, who gave it the

but the popularity first came through
the hearty singing of it by some Union
men confined in Libby Prison.

Bay Ridge is comparatively new
summer resort on the west shore of that
charming sheet of water known as Ches-
apeake Bay. 1t is half way between
Baltimore and Norfolk-within q few
miles of Annapolis. 1t is popular rather
than fashionable. The people come and
go every day of the week, and few
busy men run down with their families
on Sunday. Societies and Sunday
Schools affect. The cottages are as yet
but sparsely scattered about. 1t is two
hours ride by steam car from the Cap
ital city, and the only relief to the mo-
notonous scenery by the way are the
patches of sweet briar roses, from which
the delicious fragrance comes across the
meadows, spicy sweet, or was it Vir-
ginia creeper enveloping telegraph
pole and Haunting its crimson trumpet
flowers in great lunches Of bloom, that
nobody could help admiring?
The bay is an arm of the sea which
reaches out and bathes itself twice ev-
cry twenty four hours in the returning
tide. 1t is the home of the blue fish and
crab. which last dainty the natives of
Maryland and Virginia buy by the BUSH
ell and eat from their hands-boiled-
other people take their apples. The
crab is to the Southerner what the clam
is to the northshore people of Massa-
chusetts, the delicacy of the summer.
Deviled crab is the rival of clam chow
der.
1t is the unexpected which is always
happening in this queer, puzzling world
of ours-which seems to carry us along
at hap hazard pace. We intended to
reach Bay Ridge in time to spend the
day on the water on the Baltimore ex-
cursion boat Columbia" and had no idea
why the train should be just five min
utes too late to carry out that intention,
but such was Fate's decree. Therefore
we began to investigate the resources of
the Ridge along shore.
The Ridge is well supplied with all
the modern pleasure inventions. such as
Ferris wheel, and electric railway,
boats, and a roller coaster road. But
the very latest sensation producer is
toboggan chute for bathers, who mount
their long sleds either side up with care.
and away they go, and land in the water
out from shore with splash, as though
shot out of a gun. We we're soon inter-
ested in little group of three, two
men and one young woman, who were
masters of the machine for the present.
They had it all to themselves. Here as
elsewhere the parties gave themselves
away by speaking so loud we could not
help but hear. One. the elder man, was
papa" the other "dear Tom" and the
most interesting of the three "my dar-
ling Louise" veritable witch in blue
trousers and short blouse. The heroes
of the hour were bent on giving this
witching little piece of femininity les
son in the delights of summer toboggan-
ing. Papa went down heels frst and
head first to show her how jolly it was.
Then he slashed round below in the
