General Meade In Action.

General Horace Porter describes
Grants Dash For Petersburg" in The
Century in his series of articles on
Campaigning With Grant" General
Porter gives the following picture of
Meade in action:
My duties kept me on Meade's front a
large part Of the day. He showed him
self the personification of earnest, Wig
orous action in rousing his subordinate
commanders to superior eXertions. Even
his fits of anger and his resort to intem-
perate language stood him at times in
good stead in squirting on every one
upon that active field. He sent ringing
dispatches to all points of the line and
paced up and down upon the field in his
nervous, restless manner as he watched
the progress of the operations and made
running comments on the actions of his
Subordinates. His aquiline nose and
piercing eyes gave him something of the
eagles look and added to the interest of
his personality. He had much to try
him upon this occasion, and if he was
severe in his reprirlands and showed
faults of temper he certainly displayed
no faults as commander. When the
battle Eas over, no one was more ready
to make amends for the instances in
which he felt that he might have done
injustice to his subordinates. He said
to them Sorry to hear you cannot car
ry the works. Get the best line you can
and be prepared to hold it. I suppose
you cannot make any more attacks, and
I feel satisfied all has been done that
can be done.''

Trinidad.

England has now held continuous and
undisturbed possession of Trinidad for
just 100 years, and the colonists living
there have just celebrated the anniver-
sary with considerable enthusiasm. The
festive exercises at Port of Spain, the
islands capital, have served to empha-
size the fact that Trinidad has Jared
rather better under Great Britain's rule
than have her West Indian dependen-
cies in general and Is contemplating the
future with more equanimity Of mind
than any of the others show. Little
credit for this is due to the home gov
ernment, however, and much to the
policy, early adopted by the plant
ers in that island, of cultivating
more crops than one. Instead OF
devoting all their energies to sugar
they gave as much or more attention to
supplying the demand for cocoa. They
did something with tobacco and cattle
as well and exported an enormous
amount of cocoanuts. The revenue from
their marvellous pitch lake now supplies
a good share of the money needed for
local government and improvements,
and, taking things all in all, about the
only thing the residents have to thank
England for is the aid she has given
them in substituting Indian for negro
labor. The importation of coolies has
been of immense advantage to the is
land, while the coolies themselves have
been well paid and carefully protected.
The result is that the fall in sugar does
not threaten Trinidad with irreparable
ruin as IL does the other islands for II
has many resources to fall back upon
and the capital with which to develop
them.-New York Times.

Misiudged.

Charley Marshall was travelling up to
town. He was the pride Of our village.
He was but IS, and this was his first ex-
tended trip alone. He felt as if he were
going to seek his fortune, and the fact
that he wore new suit of very correct
clothes intensified his enjoyment and his
sense of Importance.
At one of the midway stations there en-.
tered an old man who looked the honest
farmer. He wore the high "dicky' and
rusty stock of an elder day, and his clothes
were very evidently homemade.
Charley took to him at once. He seemed
breath from the hills. And when the old
gentleman wandered into the seat with
him, it was vivid pleasure to move along
and make hospitable room.
Finally the two began to talk together,
though the old gentleman kept distinct
air of reserve, and, seeing that, Charley re.
doubled his efforts to make the time pass
pleasantly.
They reached the city and made prepa
rations to leave the train.
"Well," said the old gentleman, grasp
ing his carpet bag and beginning to move
toward the door, I'm bid you good even.

Criticisms on the Rich.

Civilization is very complex affair.
So long as the laws Of the land are not
violated the rich mans private expend-
itures are as strictly matter to be con-
trolled by his own taste and judgment
as the expenditures Of the poor man.
Capital in this country in our genera
tion has been eminently and conspicu-
ously devoted to economic production
and has not to any appreciable extent
been diverted and wasted in wanton
luxury. 1t is none of the public's bust
ness how the millionaire monopolist
spends his money, but it is in the high
est degree the public's business how he
has gained it-especially how it came to
pass that he obtained the franchise or
public privilege Or other favorable op-
portunity by means of which he has en-
riohed himself. Review of Reviews

The GODS ARE DEAD.

The gods are dead: Perhaps they are!
Who knows?
