MODERN EPISTLES.
Difference Betwe en Letter Writing
 Past and Present.
Conciseness and Brevity Now the Rule, Whereas in Times Gone By Peo- pie Wrote More for
 POsterity.

The letter writing of to-day bears lit tie or no resemblance to letter writing of other days, and MT. Andrew Lang in an interesting paper in the Illus trated London News discourses on the letter writers of the past, and says that ''the lack of good letters in modern life" is not so much from the Hack of writers" as from the Hack of readers" /" and long letter, say from Australia, is perhaps never read at all, and that we have become so frivolous "a man as far away as Samoa will write note as if to friend in the next street." The pace at which we live, the rush and hurry of each day, are answera'ble in a measure for this change in our style of correspondence; but, above all, is it not the result of the flood of jour nalism which sweeps all before it? The letter writers of the past wrote for pos terity, it is true, but also to keep their friends in touch with the topics of the day, political and social, says London Queen. Our newspapers do this for us to the fullest extent, and only the most private matters remain for the letter writer to record, matters of so private nature that were such letters given to posterity a discreet editor would at once erase these condolences from his MS. The letter writer of to- day, unlike his predecessor, does not -confide his experiences-whatever form they may have taken-to his friend and correspondent; and if he has anything worth saying on any particular subject he rushes into print forthwith, into the pages of one or other of the many mag azines, or into the daily or weekly newspapers. Women are not one whit behind men in this respect, and news paper and magazine readers are the re- cipients of their condolences, and what they have seen and done becomes at .once public property.
 The admirable diction, the vigorous English, the polished periods, the tell ing epigrams in the careful and we'll thought-out essays of the day are not to be found as heretofore in private correspondence, but in magazine and journalistic literature. MT. Lang re- marks that the fear or hope of hay ing their letters published inspired many of the old eminent hands, to dc their best for fame and posterity, as well as for their correspondents. Miss Austen kept her wit for the world, and gave fiat gossip to the worthy

dull ladies" with whom she core sponded. Of literary letters none ex- eel Shelly's." .Scott's are simply that ural, business-like and unpretentious;" Thackeray, though he lived in our railway days" and should have writ ten few letters," yet for ''tone, style, wit and loving kindness" his are among the best in the world.
 The points in the notes of the day which have superseded letters-are con- ciseness and brevity, to write without preamble of any kind and to go to the root of the matter at once. Formerly, if anything in the way of request was made, a suggestion as regards plan to do something, or any one of the thou sand social trifes that fill up leisure and life, it required lead of some lines to introduce it, and oftener than not an apology also. But now almost tel egraphic conciseness is the mode adopted, and aught else would read out of date; in truth, telegrams have not little to do in forming the present form of letter writing, and have taught economy in the use of words. It may be said that the letters of to-day are the direct antithesis of those of yore. Then too many subjects could not be broached and commented upon; now the reverse is the rule, and to keep to one subject only, and that in the fewest words, is what society affects, hence the brief notes we all receive and write; yet, brief as they are, clever man or a talented woman conveys in a sentence or two the gist of the whole matter, epigrammatical in neatness and subtly humorous-a compensation small in it's way, perhaps, for the lengthy epistles of the past, but all this worka- day world has time either to write or to read.

TERRA GOTTA sleepers are in use on Japan railroads. The increased cost is compensated for by the greater resist ance to decay.
 MME. HIssA OHYAMA, wife of the Jap anese minister at Vienna, has joined the Roman Catholic church, with her husbands consent.
 JAPANESE politeness translates into queer English. How is your honor able wife?" one gentleman will ask. T thank you, honorable sir, my dirty fool of wife is well" is the answer.
 THE Japanese are now getting used to glass. At first the glass in railway car windows had to be smeared with streaks of white paint to keep passen- gers from poking their heads through it.
 GEN. SIR GARNET WoLsELEY says that one secret of the superiority. of Japan s military system is that the profession of arms is held in high regard, while in China the lowest classes only are re- cruited into the army. and soldiers are rather looked down upon.

HAPPY JACK, inE COWBOY.
A Cattle PuncLer Who Carried No Re-

A Cattle PuncIer Who Carried No Re-
 volver in His Work on the Plains.
 Happy Jack, the Colorado cowboy, was Kentuckian by birth" said the amateur ranch man. "Kentucky's sons in the far west are typically very tall men, good tempCred, and of indomit- able courage, and Happy Jack was nc exception. Many were the stories told about the ranches of his great strength. devil-may-care'cou courage, and quaint say ings. He was of great height and breadth of shoulder, thin. sinewy and active, with pluck equal to every emer- gency and that cheerful temperament which found occasion for mirthfulness in every situation of life and had given him his beatifc name among his fel- lows. I first met him at the Horse Creek ranch, where one night late in autumn he stopped with his fell WIS. They had come up from the south with a herd of beef cattle which were put into one of the corrals over tyht while their cavalcade was turned out into the horse pasture.
 
 earliest of all. and, while the rest o1 the boys were going to breakfast, he had saddled his gray horse, vicious creature, as spready' and as active as his master. and having led it to the front Of the ranch house was about tc mount. The morning was cold and frosty, and Jack wore over his regula- tion cowboy equipment ar old army overcoat.
 "'Think |" hell buck this morning Jack?' said one of the cowboys from the veranda.
 "'Well, Jack drawled, I reckon hell do about as he's a mind to. and he's generally got a mind to buck
 ''He settled into the saddle. the horse went up into the air, and for the first hundred yards his progress was zig gag pitching fore and aft like ;l wherry among the breakers. He used every broncho trick to throw off his rider who, with the cape of the old soldier's overcoat Tapping up to meet the b1in of the broad sombrero, showed an abso lute unconcern as to what performance the horse might take into his head te try. The horse at last discovered that bueking was useless and wearisome and Happy Jack was soon down in the pasture rounding up the horses. H. had got them together and driver them back to the ranch huilding before the other boys had eaten their break fast. That was the kind of worker Happy Jack was.
 Everything that Happy Jack did or said was done laughingly. He carried no revolver, but as he adjusted his saddle equipments before starting away from the ranch l saw that among the things carefully slowed away in his cantinas or saddle bags, was long knife with a shining blade foot long. and what that hints at when seen i'll q Kentuckian's outfit everybody knows Happy Jack was philosopher whc was prepared equally for peace or fol fr0,, hla S

CUBA AND TURKEY.

pointing to more than the Cubans.
1t suggests so much that it suggests
nothing, but resolves itself into an
argument of the case made from both
sides and reaching no conclusion
There runs through the whole state
ment of the Cuban affair sentiment
of sympathy for Cuba, and desire
to at the same time befriend Spain.
1t has all the satisfying uncertainty
of that famous explanation e'That is
TO. say it is, or it is not, as the rase
may be, provided it isn't" Just
what the country expected of the
president on this subject is hard to
say. The county, no doubt, feels
very much as the president does,
and it is one of those cases where it
would have liked the president to
take some definite stand and point
out course for it to follow.
1t does seem outrageous that
Spain is allowed to carry on the war
against the Cubans in the inhuman
manner in which it does, and there
IS universal desire that something
be done to put a stop to 1t. The
American mind turns sick at the
brutal butchery of defenseless women
and children, and much as the people
of this country would deprecate
war with Spain, much as they would
dislike to see this government inter-
fere in the affrirs of Spain, it is un-
doubtedly true that vigorous pol
icy of interference, suggested by the
president, would have met with a
response that would have astonished
both president and people, and would
have endeared him to the people as
no other act could have done. HIS
course may be best, but it is surely
disappointing
Anent the Turkish question his
message is much more satisfactory.
He expresses deep sympathy with
the Armenians, but points out in
few brief sentences that America
cannot interfere. In this connection
be says:
sour efforts in this direction will
not be relaxed, but the deep feeling
and sympathy that have been raised
among our people ought not to so far
blind their reason and Judgment as
to lead them to demand impc ssible
things. The outbreaks of blind fury
which lead to murder and pillage in
Turkey occur suddenly and without
notice, and an attempt on our part
to force such hostile presence there
as might be effective for prevention
or protection would not only be re-
sisted by the Ottoman government,
but would be regarded as an inter
ruption of their plans by the great
nations who assert their exclusive
right to intervene in their own time
and method for the security of life
and property in Turkey.
81 do not believe that the present
somber prospect in Turkey will be
long permitted to offend the sight of
Christendom. 1t SO mars the humane
and enlightened civilization that be-
longs to the close of The 9th century
that it seems hardly possible that the
earnest demand of good people
throughout the Christian world for
its corrective treatment will remain
unanswered"
And this probably covers the case
as nearly as it can be done. Much
as we may sympathize with the Ar
menians, the converse of the Monroe
doctrine would prevent us interfering
in Turkey.
