Didn't Cut His Corners.

gives this reminiscence of the Rev. DR..

The worst Paved CITY.

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city In the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into loose bed
of sand form n roadway which is al
ways dusty in summer and muddy in
autumn. and in many of the roads
there Is no attempt at roadway Of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned.
The city is regarded by the Russians
as "the holy city," probably because of
the large number of monasterles 1t con-
tains. 1t was once the capital Of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
Of being considered the capital Of the
interior, but there does not seem to be
any particular desire on the part of
the authorities to make II more worthy
of its title.

not fair means of judging the rela-
tive power Of the North and the South.
The southern states had entered upon
the struggle with vigor and conh-
dence which all but astounded support
ers of the Union. Although they enter
tanned some opinions Of their Yankee
country men which were far from re-
ality, still the armies of the south gain
ed signal victories at the outset
Recently there has been some denial
that the Union army was put to flight
at the first Bull Run battle, but there
can be no doubt that the confederates
gained an advantage not only from a
moral point but as well in the matter Of
location It was confidently believed
that they would soon enter Washington
and end the war. That much in the
east.
In the west where the strife between
pro-slavery and anti-slavery parties
had already reached the stage Of blood
shed the advantage was with the con-
federates. Wilson Creek, in which the
gallant Lyon fell. was not encouraging
to the North. Instead, had Lyon sur
vived the charge in which he fell the re-
suit might have been much more favor
able to the Union arms.
But as it was, the North was awaken
ed from its apparent lethargy, the call
for volunteers was increased and the
prosecution of the long and terrible
struggle. which resulted in triumph for
the men in blue, was on. It was a fight
costing blood and treasure entirely out
of the conception of those who have to
rely for their opinions upon what they
read or hear. The proper view of it all
can only be held by the veterans who
reverting mentally forty years recall
how troublous the times We're then,
and how gloriously the nation came out
of it in the end
