STONEWALL JACKSON
HendersOn's Life of the Great Confed-
erate-Hfs similarity 10 Gustavus
AdOlphus

tProf. H. E. Shepherd in the Baltimore
SUM-
A careful reading of the Life of Gen.
S~tonewall Jackson" by Lieut.. Col.
Henderson, Of the British army, has
recalled to my memory the circum-
Of Charlottesville, where Jackson re-
ceiyed his death wound, May 2, 1863,
I had not looked Upon the Wilderness
since my boyhood days in the Army of
Northern Virginia, but it's familiar
outlines came back to my conscious
ness with all the graphic %vividness that
is characteristic of youthful recollec-
tons. In traversing the Wilderness
and studying its familiar scenes the
weird and powerful lines of our great
psychological poet came up by an al
most Irresistible suggestions:
I think I never saw
Such starved, ignoble nature; moth
ing throve;
For flowers as Well expect a cedar
grove!
But cookie, spurge, according to their
law,
Might propagate their kind with none
to awe,
You'd think; a burr had been a trea-
sure trove.
The work Of Col. Henderson has been
most favOrably received in foreign cir
cleS, and the great British quarter
lies have reviewed it with their char
acteristic fairness, learning and dis
elimination. The fame Of Gen. Jack
son has grown steadily since his death
and mis- rank as one of the foremost
Cn16inrc ~ Io L--
versally conceded. Parallel after par
allel between Jackson and Cromwell
and other masters Of the art of war
has been instituted by historians n
biographies from a diversity of stand
points and with varying degree of accu-
racy or approach to truth.
The nearest approach, however, to a
Jacksonian prototype in the history Of
modern war, is to be found in the life
achievements, of G%ustavus Adolphus,
the genius and the inspiration of the
Protestant league in the complex
movements of the Thirty Years War.
The parallel may be carried out in min
ute detail. The distinctive career Of
each extends, over the same number of
years-that of Gustavus from 1880 to
1882, that of Jackson from 1861 to 1863,
both fell in the moment of supreme
victory, Gustavus at LutZen, Jackson
at Charlottesville; both died at nearly
h same age, Gustavus at So, Jackson
at 80. Their modes of warfare and
their conceptions Of strategy were stri-
kingly similar in many essential re-
CARDS; indeed, modern war as a science
is, in large measure, due to the broad
and comprehensive genius of Gustavus
Adolphus. Among American soldiers
the position of Jackson is that of brill
liant and unapproachable aloofness. In
the sphere of war his mind was as
original and creative as that Of Dante
or of Shakespeare in the sphere of poe
try or Of Michael Angelo in the pro-
vince of art. There is no rational
ground to doubt hat in the final deter
minatiOn OF a cultured and discrimina-
ting criticism he will be ranked as the
foremost military intellect of the world
since the era of the first Napoleon.

Many times in these columns have

If you will turn to Juvenal, Satire IL,
lines 1915, you will learn something OF
a widespread modern disease. We be-
lieve THAT modern doctors in writing Of
the history of this disease have no
knowledge of the Roman Juvenals tes-
timony or reference to it. For particu-
lars Inquire Within" Juvenal at place

Thackeray is the greatest master OF
English style of all eminent British
noveIists. Yet he, like Homer, some
times nodded. A careful reading OF MS
great novels will show defective Eng
lish now and then. He writes incor-
rectly in p1aces-as i'm the use OF VINO,
directly, try and, differ with and TO-
had rather, cart before horse, beside
never liked to have sent, they and those,
overcome a struggle, inferring than,
every one are, Widowed and so on.
We mention here that nine newspaper
men out Of ten, and almost all other
writers of u time, misuse "none" and
ssany." The older writer's understood
their use better, and the Bible has
them correctly used showing that In tine
days Of James I, the English writers
wrote as correctly as those of our time
write, but were not sc we'll up In the
Greek language as the best Greek
scholars of the present day are up.

Tt is a pity that ill people who love
good literature and regard merltorlous
books as best of friends and compan-
ions, cannot be constantly making new
a~cuuaintances among the best or the
contributions of the present decade.
We are persuaded that it is an excellent
rule not to read amy new novel until II
has run the gauntlet OF criticism
for an entire year. By that time opln-
IONS are modified, and books that had
a great run for a month or two are Tor
gotten-are hoisted into the limbo OF
the overrated and trashy, and made
room -four novels of no more value per-
haps that must have too their little
day of exaggeration n unwlse pun
cry. Some books appear Of a different
kind that might be read without wait
ing. Books of personal reminiscence
are apt to posses a certain charm, and
being of the past may be e without
much delay. 1t is so with biography,
and other fascinating forms of liter
allure.
Justin McCarthy's lev volumes Of
"reminiscences" are Of this class. The
Messenger briefly referred to them re-
cen5ly. He is a writer OF merit and a
certain chanm attaches ito all OF his
books-his History OF Our Own
Times" quite fresh and delightful, his
life of Gladstone, his novels, etc. Mr..
Mccarthy, long in public life, be-
ginning as journalist and then novelist.
has a wide acquaintance in Great Br1-
tain, in Europe in fact, and having
visited the United States four or five
times, he knew many literary men and
others in the north. Europeans very
rarely enter the south, and they return
having missed much that might have
interested them. He was intimate with
the most illustrious Gladstone. He
says that his face became more and
more striking as the years went on.
and that it possessed that pre-eminent
quality of distinction that at once COM
PEELED the attention OF a stranger-a
quality by the way, which he found
also in the face of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. OF his conversation, MIR. Nc
Carthy says that he had the happy
faculty of drawing out the ideas of his
company, and that, in spite of his wide
range of knowledge n love Of speech,
he never produced the Johnsonian effect
of a schoolmaster haranguing a class.
He regards Dickens as the best after
dinner speaker he ever heard. He very
greatly admires his genius. He says
Lord Brougham was a very great ora
tor and says that with many natural
disadvantages, Brougham was undoubt-
eddy one of the greatest orators that
ever lived Of Richard Golden he
tells a story that shows how honest
and independent that distinguished re-
former was. He was against all jim
soism'' and eft was this feeling that
actuated him when he told Lord Pal
merston that he could not take Office
under him because he had frequently
described him as the worst foreign
minister England had ever had. But
said Palmerston, Miller Gibson has
often said the very same thing, and
he is going TO take office Yes re-
piled Golden blandly, 1but then I meant

A woman with the blues Is very un.

The condition of the mind known ss
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age OF advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force Of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles arc
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PISKuAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
n weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, | wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for n short time,
