The Mind and the Dominic.

She was modest-appearing girl. and as
pretty as girl well could be, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Her great blue
eyes looked out from under her new Eas-
ter bonnet In way liable to bewitch any
man. She came into the Union station
yesterday afternoon and slowly descended
the steps, apparently unconscious of the
many admiring glances cast in her direc-
ton. In her arms were many bundles, all
of them small. but of such odd shapes
that they were difficult to carry
AS the young woman took her foot from
the last step Of the long stairway a look
of perplexity fitted across her face. Then,
as she started to cross the waiting room,
those who were watching her saw some
thing on the floor, where she had dropped
1t. A dozen men started forward to pick
1t up, saw what it was, and then manou-
vered SO that it would appear as If they
had not noticed it. The young lady, aware
OF her loss, kept straight on, and never
looked behind her.
But there was one man there who had
seen the article fall, and he went after it,
He wore the straight collar and peculiar
garb of the clergyman, while glasses told
of that most embarrassing of Affections,
near ightedness. Running quickly to the
little object that lay so harmlessly upon
the floor he picked it up and fastened
after her. He touched her on the arm,
and, lifting his hat, he said: Il beg your
pardon, my dear young lady. but you
dropped your"
1t was then that he saw for the first
time what he had picked up. He was hold
ing the little band of black with a red
bow on it in full view of those who were
in the waiting room, and he did not know
what to do with it. The young woman's
hands were occupied with bundles. and he
felt it would scarcely be right either to
drop 1t or put 1t in his pocket. For per-
haps a moment he stood there blushing
He tried to speak, but the best he could
do was to stammer out some unintelligi-
BILE syllable. In the mean time the girl
stood speechless. First she flushed and
then grew pale. Then her face seemed to
indicate that she was amused at the cler-
gyman's embarrassment. Then, with a
sweet smile, she dropped her bundles on
seat and. taking the circlet she said:
ITS so good of you. MY brother Tom
would never have forgiven me if lost one
Of the sleeve-holders his fancee sent

And she gathered up her bundles and
left.

Living on Nothing a Year.

The human satellite is not a modern
product lie existed even before the time
when for the benefit of the young men Of
Rome a law was passed permitting the
reputation Of debt, or, in other words,
practically making the shopkeeper wash
off the slate and begin again. But the
satellite of to-day is different sort of
creature. find him where you will If
fairly educated, well-dressed and good
company, he may be a society leader; if
ignorant, untutored and in rags, he is a
beggar or a tramp. Between these two
extremes there are all the grades and
kinds of impecuniosity,a and in this day and
time the satellite must depend on the rel
alive standing. wealth and disposition of
his friends for the position he occupies in
the scale, for there are no royal edicts or
laws which protect him as against his VIC
tim.
The social satellite might well be called
the bi-product Of accumulated wealth. He
is found more or less in every community
depending on it's number Of wealthy people
who seek company and entertainment, and
who, when they cannot always get what
they want, must take what they can get
1t is the relic of the old aristocracies, a
desire for a court which the early poverty
of American immigrants may have sup
pressed for a time, but which riches have
revived. The company must be secured,
and the impecunious swell is always there
ready for a party, a dinner a weeks or a
months entertainment at the seaside, or
even a trip around the world on the yacht
of some millionaire who wants to have
some jolly good fellow along, and is ready
to pay all expenses. The jolly good fell
low goes, and when he counts up at the
end of the year, he finds that he has been
able to live like lord on an income that
many clerks would scorn.
The tramp and the beggar are common
figures on the streets; everybody has seen
them and everybody knows them. But
what shall be said of the intermediate
class, undoubtedly the most numerous,
who would scorn the appellation of tramp,
and become mortaly insulted. ostensibly,
of course. at being called beggars. who
is that?" and What does he do?" are
questions that may be heard asked fire.
Quently on the streets Oh savannah as Wen
as other cities, and the answers are, THAT
is John Doe; he doesn't do anything; he
lives on his friends" How he manages
to do it in nine cases out of ten may be
an intricate question, but in spite of that
he does it, and often seems to live exceed
ingly we'll; sometimes even better than the
friends. He is usually a harmless EXAM
pie of the satellite, and as long as his
friends choose to keep him going it might
be answered that it is nobody's business.
But it is a question with which sociology
will sometime have to deal. for 1t is the
breeding school of tramps AS the social
satellite makes restitution by'a bouquet or
a box of bon-bons, this species may return
by some slight favor, perhaps degrading
one, the price of his existence; but the
pocket-book and patience of the friend are
not always inexhaustible and sooner or
later, as the sporting vernacular puts 1t
John Doe is on the hog"

The SUFFERING In Cuba.

There is no doubt that the people of Gu
ba are suffering from the war which has
been going on in that island for two years
and more The Spaniards have been doing
Just what other people have done when
they went to war; that is, making it very
bad for the other side. The northern pa
pers just now are full of tales of the hor-
rors of the war in Cuba, and congress is
going wild because of these stories.
Humanity should sympathize with suf-
fering humanity. And it generally does,
except when the humanity of the first
part Is at war with the humanity of the
second part; and then there is not much
sympathy given. England is full of phil
anthropy for the Africans, so long as they
are not in the way. But when they at
tempt to impede Englands progress or
thwart her wishes, she kills them without
hesitation or computation.
The elder of the congressional howlers
about Cuba can doubtless recall the time
when Sheridan was applauded for devas-
tating Virginia from Winchester to Pc
tersburg, and leaving that fruitful section
in such straits that "a crow flying over It
would have TO carry his rations" Some of
these old philanthropists may also be able
TO call to mind Gen. Sherman's march
through Georgia and the Carolinas, when
death and destruction went with him.
There was not much sympathy in certain
quarters for the people Of the south who
were forced to witness sights and suffer
Outrages well calculated to break their
hearts or unseat their reason, when they
did not kill outright. Sheridan and Sher-
man were applauded for these things. and
the country is now paying pensions to half
a million Of men who followed their flags
Gen. Weyler in Cuba and Edhem Pasha in
Greece are repeating what the heroes Of
the federal armies did in the south. Prob
ably they learned their lessons from the
civilized warfare of the federal generals
OF course there is no feeling In thus re-
ferring TO these matters Of the past in
touching upon the activity of the philan-
thropists in congress in behalf Of the Gu
bans. There is no doubt terrible suffering
in that island. But there is a war there's
and war means all that Is bad and terrible
And the stronger the foe. the more brutal
he is usually found to be.

Tho VAR Not Vet Ended.

The other day a smart English Journal
fiippantly referred to the Graeco- Turkish
war as The Seven Days War" and we
note that some Of our American contem-
poraries are referring to it as one Of the
shortest wars on record. It is not well to
jump to conclusions. There is still fight
ing in Epirus, and there is no peace in
Thessaly. It may be that the actual con-
lict between Turk and Greek is about
over, however, though even that is not
certain. Greece is weak and easily strick-
en- with panic but she is liable at any mo-
ment to receive the assistance of some
powerful friend.
The Facts appear to be that while the
Turks are too strong for the Greeks alone,
they are by no means certain to come off
victors. Russia has been playing what
has had the appearance of being an anti
Greek policy which the Turks have
made the most of. It is a probability that
the near future will see reversal of
Russian policy, or see rather the true poll
cy of the czar, in actions which viii not
only bring the Turks up with a round
turn, but may set the Balkan peninsula
on fire. Turkish successes as against the
Greeks have made the porte stiff-necked
and opinionated. The sultan has seen
that there is considerable military vitality
in his realm. and therefore Is not dispos-
ed to be as meek in his obedience to the
wishes of the powers as heretofore. 1t is
said that he has gone straight ahead with
war preparations, and is disposed to de-
mand his pound of flesh in the proposed
settlement with Greece. Meantime, he
has placed strong forces on the frontiers
of Montenegro, Servia and Bulgaria. He
is disposed to be cocky; to make his de-
mands, and TO make a fight for them.
That is probably precisely what Russia
wants; what she has been striving for.
She watches with interest the ascendancy
of the war party at the Yildiz kiosk, and
is waiting for some overt act on the part
of the sultan's armies which would give
her an excuse for armed interference.
That Russia is prepared to take a hand
in the lighting is evidenced by the fact
that she is holding 100000 armed men in
positions from which she could precipitate
them into Turkish territory within thirty
hours. 1t is understood to have been the
purpose of Russia and Germany all along
to lay plans for the partition of the
sultan's territory in Europe without Civ
ing England a slice. To keep Englands
finger out of the pie they may have been
taking pro-Turkish stand in the war. If
the time has come when Russia can show
her hand, she will not be slow to do it.
And then will come the real struggle,
alongside OF which the brushes between
the Turks and the Greeks will be small
affairs.
1t does not appear that the war in the
east is yet over. on the other hand. so
far from Its being a "seven days war"
or one of the shortest wars on record"
1t may devlop into one of the bloodiest
wars in history and battle the continent
of Europe in crimson.
