The Gorge Of Darrell in the Caucasus.
HcnrD Norman. u. p, in Scribuer's


Eight miles from Vladikavkaz is the
posting station of Balta: II miles farther
is Lars; and five miles farther is the
world-famOus Gorge of Darrell. the eau
casus Gates" of Pliny, the dark and aw-
full defile between Europe and Asia. Grad
ually, as we drive on, the hills rise and
close i'll on us till at length they fall al
most sheer to the edge of the rushing
Terek and the narrow road, leaving only
just room for these at the bottom of
rocky cleft, 1000 feet deep. The air
strikes chill as vault; not ray of sun
shine enters; the driver stoOpS low and
lashes his horses: instantly We lapse into
silence. The geologist calls this gorge a
fault" for it is not pass over the noun
tain chain, but a rent clear across it. To
the imaginative traveller, however, it is q
fit scene for the most wonderful highway
in history. Seventy years ago it was q
perilous road, for avalanches, of the sud
den outbursts of pent-up glacial streams,
swept it from end to end: but the Rus
slams have spent $4,000, 600 upon it and
made it safe. In 1877 nearly all their
troops and stores for carrying the war
into Turkey and Asia came by this road,
and it will be used again for the same
purpose, although to a much less degree,
for there is now direct railway connection
from Moscow to Baku, at one end of the
Trans Caucasian Railway, and therefore
to kars itself, via IIfiIs; and equally to
Kars from Batum, at the other end, to
which fortified port steamers would bring
troops and supplies from Odessa and No
vOrOssisk in the Black Sea. The gOrges
of the Yang-tsZe may be as impressive
have not seen them-but there is moth
ing in Europe which produces so profound
an effect of dread upon the mind as this
lonely, silent, gloomy, cold abysm of Da-
riel. You do not wonder that any people
holding it could bar the way to the rest
of the world-the only ground for surprise
is that before the present road was con-
structed anybody ever got through it at
all. 1t even said Thus far and no far

The charm of the book is without par

can be accurate and entertaining at the

mand the control of the likin stations, i'm

would at least have an increase of 10000

| China would not lose her income and for
eigners would have charge of the customs

, der the circumstances this plan would seem
most feasible.
APPROVED BY THE CHINESE.
The article requesting he immediate re-
turn of the Emperor to Picking meets with
the approval of the entire Chinese people.
They are much pleased with the fact that
westerners place so much importance on
this article, even promising to return ali
the spheres of influence" now under the
! protection of their troops at the Capital.
| BY this demand and promise the foreign
nations have won the respect and apprecia-
ton of the natives. With the return of the
Emperor, one step would be made towards
the starting Of a new era, as no doubt this
time the old lady would not be allowed to
Interfere again in the progress of reform.
| That the Chinese are devoted to their En-
| peror there is not the slightest doubt but
he is about the only Manchu that our peo-
pie care anything about, the Empress
DOwager and Prince Tuan being cordially
hated. The last two have never been es-
pecially popular, and since the last farce,
or rather tragedy, perpetrated by them, no
love has been lost, as there was no love to
start with. The native press is most en-
phatic in wishing the carrying out of this
article, and would be much disappointed if
it should fall through.
PUNISHMENT OF THE GUILTY.
The article demanding that Prince Tuan
should be punished with life punishment
meets with the approval of every intelli-
gent native. One paper characterized it
as the receiving of what is due to crime -
The arch leader is charged by his own peo-
pie for first disturbing the Empire-com-
uniting a crime against his fOrefathers.
Then he was the cause of the Courts re-
moval to Hsian, committing a crime
against the Emperor; for causing the mas
sacre of thousands of people; he sinned
against the masses, and by the killing of
the German Minister he offended the
whole world. After the trouble the Court
was not able to take his life, as should

Their experiences form those OF the raw
recruit, and in the course of time the sea-
soned veteran.
They encounter the dangers Of the bat
tlefield and the WEAKNESS Of the tiresome
march and suffer Imprisonment. Under
all these circumstances these boys do their
part manfully, having their ups and downs,
their hard times and their good times,
with n succession Of comical blunders,
brilliant achievements and stirring adven-
lures which make up the panorama of a
soldiers daily life.
These sketches have been laughed at
and cried over in 10000 homes of veterans,
in Post rooms, at Campfres, and wher-
ever the survivors of the war have gath
