AcivEc@ Free,
A Greek Colony In Corsica.

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of a Greek population with
it's own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica. Our inn is kept by q
Greek from Corfu, as his name, Cor
fiotti, tells us and as the loquacity Of
his wife would lead US to infer; for at
Cargese the Corsican taciturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk.
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded in Cor
sica under the auspices of the Genoese
republic, to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles, who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle DIES
Grecs just outside Ajaccio at Cargese
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intermarriages between the colonists
and the natives, at first rare, have now
become frequent, and it is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenacity
which it shows in modern Greece, in
spite of centuries of barbarian inroads
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese to remind
the traveller of its eternal youth and its
unfailing characteristics. -Westmins,
ter Review.

THE POWER OF WILL.

He Wanted to Live Four Days, and
He Succeeded.
1t would be vain to attempt to de
scribe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice. says his biogra-
pher. One of the stories he used to tell
is of peculiar interest, not only for its
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old pensioner was patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital His life
was despaired of, and, in fact, his death
was hourly expected. One morning,
having many patients to care for and
believing that the pensioner was uncon-
scious and past help, DIR. Stokes passed
his bed without stopping. The patient
was greatly distressed and cried out:
Don't pass me by, docther; you
must keep me alive for four days"
1--WE will keep you as long as we
can, my poor fellow" answered Stokes,
"but why for four days particularly p"
Because, was the reply, "my pen
sion will be due then, and / want the
money for my wife and children. Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
if sleep shall die. -
On the third day after this, to the
amazement of Stokes and others, e
patient was still breathing. On .
morning of the fourth day he was alive
and conscious, and on entering the
ward Stokes saw him holding in his
hand the certificate which rec1ired sig
nature. AS the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped:
'Sign, signl'
The doctor quickly complied, and the
man sank back exhausted and within a
few minutes crossed his hands over his
breast and said, "The Lord have mercy
on my soul, and quietly breathed his
last.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The confir-
nation of the press reports detailing
tho capture of Iloilo were received at
the war department with considerable
satisfaction. The reports of strong in
trenchments that the natives had been
constructing around the town led the
department to fear that the landing
would be a bloodier affair than either of
the battles of Manila. 1t was with
great satisfaction therefore that Admi.
raj Dewey's dispatch was received say
ing we had lost no men at all, and the
casualties among the natives were much
smaller than at first reported. The fact
that foreign interests at Iloilo are being
satisfactorily guarded is another
source of qualification to the admin
istration. This forestails criticism
or danger of interference from any for
eign power, which has all along been a
complication that had to be considered
as possibility, but which it was in
tended to avoid at al costs. What the
future will be, it is scarcely safe to say.
The president from the inception Of the
Spanish war has been earnestly in favor
of the most humane policy, and it is not
intended to follow the severe check to
the Filipinos with war of subjugation
if the insurgents will allow this govern
ment to avoid it. They have had a stern
lesson at Manila and at Iloilo, and if
they are content to profit by it and
come peaceably into camp, they may dc
so without fear of further chastisement.
Still, it is recognized that Admiral
Dewey and General Otis have a much
better grasp of the local situation than
is possible here, and the administration
does not purpose to tie their hands with
unnecessary instructions.
