Russian Bravery.

| Here is a story of Russian bravery.
There is a monument in Turkestan to
several Russian soldiers captured by
the Turcomans in 1879. They were
/ artillerymen. and their guns were cap
tured with them; so the TurcOmans
naturally ordered them, on penalty of
death, to serve those guns against
/ their own comrades. Every man re-
( fused, choosing death by horrible tor
ture and dying without a murmur.
This passion for self-sacrifice is the
keynote of the Russian character and
is cultivated in the army by every pos
/ sible means. The recruit is invariably
told the story of that heroic company
of infantrymen in the LOmakin expedi-
ton into Turkestan, who, at a critical
moment, threw themselves into deep
ditch in order that the guns. which
were sorely needed at the front, might
be gaIIoped over their bodies. 1t is
doubtful whether this could have hap
pened in any army but the Russian.
If there is one thing in which the
Russian army excels it is marching.
Lord Roberts famous march to Can
dahar has been equaled over and over
again by the Cars troops in their
Central Asian campaigns. When Gen
eraI Kuropatkin marched a force of
Turkestan troops to join Skobeleff in
the attack on Cock Tepe, he and his
men were swallowed up in an un-
known, trackless desert for twenty-six
days, yet they covered over forty miles
day and marched in at the end of
the time in perfect military order
without a single man sick or fallen
out. 1t was a wonderful feat. but it
was not regarded in Russian military
circles as being anything extraordi-
nary.
A former captain of the Russian
army told me of a friend of his who
lived for years in a small town and
was then ordered away TO ST. Peters,
burg. In less than six months he re-
ceived a command to return and
promptly blew out his brains.
Nobody was surprised" said my
friend. we all knew what life in
such places is like. man can be
happy in Siberia on a lonely outpost
where he has no companions of his
own rank within a hundred miles. but
there is no happiness possible in a
small Russian garrison town for a
man of average. intelligence The

THE CONVENTION.

IT HE Chicago convention has gone into history and
the comments OF observers of its sessions are
written. One remark is generally made. and
truthfuy. The passion that rivalry in leadership has
put into other great convencles of the party was
absent from his
In 1856 the party was too young and small to have
much interest in anything except its declaration Of
principles. But in 1860 the rivalry between Lincoln and
Seward gave to the convention Later on the feud
OF Conkng and Blaine enlivened conventions as long
both lived. But the party has reached age now
and achieved a record which only one
form OF competition between its leaders, and that is
rivalry of effort do the for party success i'm
pressed that it the welfare of the country
This last convention has furnished literature with the
highest expressions that have issued from party

regard for the rights Of man.
