evening, ana rnen go away OH on the
woods and have fight or maybe sew

But If We can't see the fight we all
love to read about them. The charm
of mythology in the heroes and hero
ines we read abous-Hector and Ach-.
illes-have not yet lost their renown.
1t was Rob Roy's heroism and Ivan
hoe s.that made those novels of Wal
ter Scott the favorites. Just so with
the Scottish Chiefs and Thadde1s of
Warsaw, and Charley O'Malley.
And even in our day both Christians
and sinners, Jew and Gentle, have
been fascinated with Lew Wallace's
Ben Hnr. and the charm nf the hook ia
the chariot race, which was great
fght-sa struggle between the heroic
champions. The truth is that no nov
elist-either ancient or modern-has
dared to write a romance without
great fight in it somewhere. From
Milton in his Paradise Lost down to
Kennedy's Horseshoe Robinson, fight
ing is the essence and the charm OF
the story, and it is compliment to
our human nature that we always side
with the right side and honor the hero
and adore the heroine,

was a respectable thing to do, he

1t is said. that he would have slipped

already billed for Boston to mako his
last great speech. He loved all manly
sports, but abhorred cruelty and dissipa-
ton. l never shall forget the grand
and awful scene that witnessed from
the top of the Price house during the
battles before Richmond. Our bril-
gade was stationed on the south side
of the Chickahoniny with orders to
await orders, and while waiting Gen.
eral Tige Anderson and sone of his
staff climbed up to the little balcony
and saw the desperate fight that
was raging on the other side of the
river. We saw our regiments, with
banners waving, advance and fire and
advance and fire again, and climb
the sloping hill while their ranks We're
thinped from shot and shell, and hum
dreds of men fell dead or wounded and
were tramped over by other regiments
as on they charged to take the battery
on top of the HILL Once regiment
wavered and was falling back, for the
color bearer was shot down and the
colonel endorsed, but another soldier
seized the colors and ran in front way
ing them, and the brave boys rallied
and never stopped again until the col.
ors were planted on the crest of the
hill and the battery was captured. We
saw it all as plain as picture, for it
was less than half mile to the battle
ground. 1t was a bird 's-eye view, and

worse than any two men can make.

Macedonian Forces to BE Raised
Bulgarian Troops Alert.

LONDON, March 1.-The Athens
correspondent Of the Daily Chronicle
declares that no communication has
been received from Russia. 1t is quite
certain that the Greek army will not
be withdrawn. Macedonian forces will
be raised within a few weeks, with
a view to possible contingencies, and if
the Turks attempt to invade TheSSaly
the Bulgarian government Is determin-
ed to advance its troops instantly to
the Aegean sea. 1t is rumored that the
secret national committee has decided
to commence operations in Macedonia
tomorrow
The consuls at Gambia have signed a
telegram inploring the powers not to
delay decision. The town is so crowd

great loss of life. Hundreds of sheep

also as to the situation at Selinos,
where the armiStice agreed upon by
the powers has expired. The insurgents
are in a worse mood than ever and
thoroughly determined.

ent of the Mail. the public feeling at
Athens is that nothing can prevent the
powers from coming to blows over

fortress of Izzbeding. Everybody imm@-
diately leaped to the conclusion that
England was trying to steal a march
on the other powers by seizing Suda
harbor. 1t seems certain to the Daily

great powers Is now urging the sui
