What miffed ino find Kot mo into n

n strong contempt for lawyers. 1 thought
their long oross-cMimiimtionswere brain
less dialogues for no purposo. Lawyer
Johnson liad mo as a witness in a wood
case. In my directtestimony 1 hail sworn
truthfully that .John Hall had cut ton
cords ot wood in three ( lays. Thou
.Johnson sharpened his pencil and com
menced examinint ; mo :
"Now , Mr. Perkins , " ho began , "how
much wood do you say was cut by Air.
Hallv"
"Just ten cords , " I answered boldly. "I
measured it. "
"That's your impression ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Well , wo don't want impressions , sir.
What wo want is facts before this jury
f-a-c-t-s , sir , facts ! "
"Tho witness will please state facts
hereafter , " said the judfre , while the
crimson came to my face.
"Now , sir , continued Johnson , point
ing his linger at mo , "will you swear that
it was not uioro than nine conlsV"
"Yes , sir. It was ten cords just "
"Thorol never mind , " interrupted John
son. ' 'Now , how much loss than twelve
cords wore there ? "
"Two cords , sir. "
"How do you know there wore just two
cords less , sir ? Did you measure those
two cords , slrV'.xskou. . Johnsonsavagely.
"No , sir , I "
"There , that will do ! You did not
measure it. Just as I expected. All
guess-work. Now didn't you swear a
moment ago that you measured this
wood ? "
"Yes sir "
, , but
"Slop , sir : The jury will note this dis
crepancy.1
" .Now , sir , " continued Join.son , slowly ,
as ho pointed his linger almost down my
throat , "Now , sir , on your oath , will
you swear that there were not ten cords
and a half/ "
" \i's"Hir , " I answered mecldv.
"Well , now , Mr. Perkins , 1 demand a
straight answer a truthful answer , sir. "
"T-t e-c-ords " 1 answered hesitatingly
- ten - - , ,
tingly
'ion swear itv"
" _ _ _ ( _ . "
"Now , " continued Johnson , as he
8milod satirically , "do you know the
penalty of perjury , sir ? "
"Yes , sir. I think "
"On your oath , on your solemn oath ,
with no evasion , you are willing to per
jure yourself by solemnly swearimr that
there was more than nine cords of wood ? "
"Yes , sir. I "
"Aha1 Yes. sir. You arc willing to per
jure yourself , then ? Just as 1 though )
( turning to the judge ; ) you see , yoiu
honor , that this witness is prevaricating.
Ho is not willing to swear tliatthero were
more than nine cords of wood. Jt is in
famous , gentlemen of the jury , such tes
timony as this. " Tlio jury nodded assent
and smiled sarcastically at mo.
"Now , " said Johnson , "I will ask this
porjnred witness just one more quotation ,
1 will ask you , sir do yon know do you
rnali/o , sir , what an awful a-w-i-u-1
thing it is to toll a lie ? "
" \ es , sir , " I said , my voice trembling.
"And knowing this , you swear on your
solemn oath that theio were about nine
cords of woodv"
"No , sir I don't do anything of "
"Hold on , sir ! llow do you know there
werojiiht nine cords ? "
"I don't know any such thing , sir

"Aha1 j'ou don't know , then ? Just as 1
expected. Anil yet you swore you dli
know. Swore you measured it. In fa

Bhall wo do with this perjurer ? "
"Kilt 1 "
"Not a word , sir hush ! This jury shall

WAIISAW , Jan. 1. tforrespondcnco of
the 1JKK.1 According to appearances ,
the coming spring will see the
beginning of that great continental
war , winch has been .anxiously and fo.ir-
fully oxpeelod since 187- ) , but never with
nearly so great rt semblance of probabil
ity as ut the present moment , hvory na
tion in Europe is arming or is armed for
the fray , and as this condition of armed
expectation cannot last eternally , but
one of two solutions is admissible : either
a general eonlliot or suuuiversal ilUarin-
amont , and ns no power dare * to lake
the initiative of the latter measure , wo
must conclude that there will be trouble ,
although no one pretends to deny that ,
even to the victors , the consequences of
war must bo ruinous.
Hi political , social and military circles
here , not the faintest hope-of preservation
ot poaeo is entertained , invasion and bat
tle are the lliomo of all conversations ; no
one talus or thinks of aiiglitolsenotwith-
ing all the attractions ollerod' by the
court balN , by the theaters , bv a host of
learned professors who discourse-on lla-
Delais and Cu'tho and Moliere. Court
balls aijd theaters and lecture rooms are
crowded , but , for nil that , the ono pre
dominating idea is war. the onu anxious
question is : Where will the lirsl shut be
lired ?
Is the public wrong in its preoccupa
tions , or are the rmnorn hoard on all
sides the precursors of a tempe.sl , are wo
on thu eve of ono of those conflagrations
whieh must change the face of Europe's
map ? iSo human being can reply with
certainty , no ! not even the Sphynx of
Merlin ; but , certainly , the prospect is dis
heartening to humanitarians , and it is
only right and proper that the situation
should bo laid betoro America , the ono
irition on the globe which U not likely to
lie drawn into the conlliet , the only na
tion which can profit by its complications
and consequences.
KL'VilAN Dll'I.OMACV.
The nulgariuntjuestioii is the nominal
Marling point of the present ombroglio ,
and ItusAian action in the Halkan penin
sula may bo the spark which must lire
the train. Hut the controversy ; who
shall bo king' KS merely a pretext ; Rus
sia hunkers now as she has hankered
ever since the days of the great Cather
ine after the possession 01 Constanti
nople ami Constantinople llu-isia pro
poses to have , spite of all oDpo.silion.
Uu sia is a power which moves steadily
onward toward her objective , halting
sometimes on her way , but never draw
ing buck. Her tsar , has , so far , hesitated
to occupy Bulgaria with liis legions. Ho
feared that anv direct memu-o against
Constantinople might , as for his grand
father , in 18.T , give cause for tin ; coali
tion hostile to bus projects , and ho felt
that tiio opposition ot allied ( ieimany ,
Austria and England would be an obsta
cle almost insurmountable , to their
realization. Hut that obstacle ; has
disappeared. Russian diplomacy has won
another victory ; the Millan has promised
his benevolent neutrality , and ( Jerinany
in oxchiyige for a carte' blanche in the
direction of the Vo gos , has given Alex
ander 111 cai'to-bluneho in the direction
of the lliumus. Austria then stands
alone in the fae.o of the northern colob-
sus , who e generals are not at all dis
heartened , because there exists a possible
eventuality of the co-operation of the.
British Hoot. In short , the occupation of
Bulgaria and Roitmania I mean Ron-
mama anil not I'oumulia is decided upon
in principle. I will go farther The con
centration of the Russian troopsbetween
the I'rnth nnd the Dnieper is an accom
plished fact. The mass of the Russian
army is at Kilcumell' , as it was just pre
vious to the campaign of IS" , and two
other eorpi , one at Kominiec , the second
a little to the south ot Warsaw , are pre
pared to attack the [ Carpathians , Aus
tria's main bulwark on the oa-a , which , if
carried as it must be , will form the in-
yader's > base ot operations in Ciallieia.
AN Ainiv or 1,700.01)0 )
At tins same lime , the Russian Hoot ,
ready for service at present , at Odessa ,
jNieoluieh" and Sebastopol , will transport
( lie Bulgarian corps ot occupation to
Botirgus and Varna , which hitter fortress ,
though formidable if garrisoned by good
troops , in not likely to oiler much resist
ance , the mass of the Bulgarian army
and the great majority ol its officers
being absolutely Rus ophilist. It is
hoped , in military circles , that the passage -
sago of the Dardanelles by the British
Hoot can bo anticipated anil prevented ,
but , in case tlmsn provisions bo not rea.
li/.ed , tlio fortifications recently con"
struetod at all the exposed points on the
Euxino , are .sullioiont to keep Britannia
from doing much mischief there.
The principal lighting maybe expected
in ( iallieia , and in its plains the immonsit
numerical superiority of the Russian
army will assure its eventual vietoiy , al
though the Karpathian line will be .stul > -
bornly defended. What Austria' * mili
tary resources aiq , I am un.iblo to .state ,
but we may take it for granted that she
can muster nothing like tiio 1,700,00 , ) men

And yet the feeling of abhorrence for
Germany is general amon" Russians ; it
s the inborn halo of raee which through
all time , have been antagonistic ; it is Iho
struggle between the Slny and the Ton-
toil , which began by the russilieation of
the Haltic provinces of the Russian empire -
piro , and which must fatally , inevitably ,
though mayhap the catastrophe bo tem
porarily iiiliourned , culminate in war.
Read Iho Russian newspapers , nnd es
pecially the Moscow Gazette , the organ
of tin1 1'niislavist party , of whicli Mr.
Kntkoll' is the chief , and you will ae-
knowledge that though tlto otlieial Gov-
i > rmiientMcs engor was ordered to Dour
oil upon tlio troubled waters , the tinli-
German campaign is continued as vigor
ously as over. Thu chief editor of the
Moscow Ga/.ettu holds 'i position and en
joys a prestige which is without its equi
valent in the whole world ; tlievc.ill Rat-
Koll'the. "Vice Kmiiuror , " in Russia , and
he merits the title. " Kutkoir's dream is
Sl'v ; omnipotence , nnd Germany being an
obstacle , must eventually , if not immedi
ately , be fought and beaten.
Anti now comes Iho question which no
one can answer advisedly : Can the con
flict be locnli/i'd ? Probably it will not
ho locali/.ed , but this must depend upon ,
the duration 01 the Hist Austro-ctmipnign.
Should it 1)0 all over in six weeks' time
likn that of Sadowa , thu hatchet may
again bo buried until Kmporor William's
death , but should hostilities bo prolonged ,
every nation in the whole world must be
drawn into thu s-u-ug < rlo , either in self-do-
fence or for the gratification of their am
bitious or their rancors.
1 Germany may not budge so long as
Russia is satisfied to boat , not to despoil ,
her enemy ; but should Austria be in vailed
elsewhere than in Gallicia , Germany will
come to her ally's aid , and say : Thus far
shall lliou go , and no further' ! And il is
not sure that Russia will be moderate.
And if Germanv mows , so will Franco ;
and so must Denmark : , who has a
revenge to take ; and Belgium , whoso ter
ritorial neutriliiy will not be rvspceled ;
and Italy who wants : i number of things
and will lluovv in with tlio partner likely
to pay best ; and Sp.un , on general prin

Now Orleans Picavuno : The town is
full of talented girls who will never
amount to anything because they are. so
well content with being simply talented.
These girls will never bo able to take a
prominent place in any profession or in
dustry without which all the talent under
the sun is not worth a copper groat. Tal
ent is the unhewn block of marble , in
dustry istlio chisel that may convert it to
the perfect statue. The philoso
phic writer of "Our Picayunes" say.s
tliat industry boats genius at
everything except the making of real
poetry. Talented girls < vho sire too la/.y
to accomplishanythingoxoopl by inspira
tion are often not only tiio victims of
their own false idea that talent is better
limn a developed muscleor trained mind ,
or methodical workbut of the ill-advised
praise of relatives and friends. A smart
girl wants encouragement , not , merely
praise. She wants tliat sort of encour
agement that if site wills to work she can
bo and do anything that is gro'it , nnd
noble , and possible to human en
deavor , Many a smart girl re
mains a slouch ami a snialtcror
all her days because of the exaggerated
ideas of Ifer own ability , not capability ,
she receives from those who should have
known bolter. A talented girl of eighteen
can play the piano , but n < H well enough
to keep the honest attenlion of a room
ful ot people. She can dabble in paints ,
but not we.ll enough to make her pictures
worth framing. She can write romances ,
but none good enough for publication.
The c are her nossibilitios. They speak
fairly well for her at eighteenand friends
predict a brilliant future for her. But at
nineteen and twenty she neither plays ,
nor paints , nor writes any belter than she
did at eighteen. She has spent her days
in idle , ambitious dreamings of what she
would like to do. Her mind runs slug
gishly , she is iirunk with the stupor of
laziness. She is tin enormous reader of
novels , bill finds oven the magazines
"too solemn" f'jr her mind and taste.
Yictimucd bv homo adulation she has
quit her piano-pructicinir , neglected her
.studies , abandoned her drawing-book ,
and she ends by doing nothing ill ah.
Her mother has loved her too well to
allow her to make abed , sweep a room ,
Keep U ] ) any routine of duties or studios ,
and ( lie result is failure. Admiring
friends fall oil' , sorry and disguMod. A
la/.y young woman is as unlovely a sight
: is a slovenly one. A girl of eighteen , u
talented girlneeds at herolbow : i mother
or a guardian who shall unceasingly and
earnestly inspire her with an ambition to
take always and ever an npwaid step.

Girls' literature , writes Emily S. Bou-
Ion in tlio Toledo Blade , should help
make women , thinking , helpful , earnest
women , and if , as has boon well said , "in
choosing tlio books tliat boys shall road
it is necessary to remember that wo are
choosing the mental food for the future
chiefs of a great race , it is equally impor
tant not to forget , in choosing books for
girls , that wo are choosing mental food
tor the future wiyes and mothers of that
race. " Tlio girl's work for the common
woalot humanity is quite as important
as that of her brother , and the necessity
that her brain diet be well chosen quite
as great.
Of course , this selection of books for
the young involves careful supervision
and unceasing labor. It demands the
careful examination of whatever you
place in their hands to rouluml : a watch
fulness whieb mtis't not bo so open as to
irritate , in order that literature of a per
nicious kind may not stray into their
possession , and lay tlio foundation of a
taste tliat it will ho dillioiilt to eradicate.
A wise discretion , however , will not
place all stories or novels under a ban.
Ivven wore tlieso not tlioso that insensibly
lead lo high aims and lofty purposes , it
would bo holler to put voluntarily before
them such as have no inlluonoootlior than
that of cnturtainment than to arouse op
position by arbitrary ruling. Yet this is
not necessary when some of the most ac
complished writers of the day are en
gaged in contributing to children's litera
ture. Certainly no boy or girl could read
ono such book as Mrs. Uuniott'.s "Little
Lord I'aiiiillrroy without feeling the
childish hoiii't inspired to beautiful
thoughts loading to pure living.

A Clever Ynune
Miss Jeaiicllo Gilder is n woman who
has made for herself a very enviable
place in journalism , says Iho Now York
World. She founded and has carried to
n definite success n weekly journal , The
Critic , which was an experiment ami
something quite new in its aim and scope.
Ot her career anil her experiences in the
various departments of newspaper work
she writes in a pleasant , frank , manly
fashion. Personally Miss Gilder is a
curious combination of feminine and
masculine .trails. She is passionately
fond of children and is devoted to Iho
pretly infants of her brother , the. poet ;
in social lite she is entirely feminine , nnd
is quito what any other clever , sweet-
tempered woman would be. But in her
ollico she is utterly changed. A woman
who had occasion to meet her them once
gave vnther tin amusing description of
her own emotions on Iho occasion.
"I went into Ilio fresh , bright , sunny
little oll'ico. " she said , "possessed by a
good deal of curiosity lo sec this
clover woman of business. She was sit-
tinir til her desk looking over letters and
rose courteously at oueo. She is quito
tall and rather slim , with a largo , strong ,
pale and not unhandsome face , and just a
slight resemblance to Richard Watson
Gilder , of the Century , I scarcely no
ticed her clothes nt first , except that they
were dark and plain , bill ns wo sal nnd
talked 1 grew more and more interested
in noting that outward and visible sign
of the inward and spiritual tendencies in
woman. It was n cold tUy ami Miss
Gilder had come in but n moment before
me , so thai she had not yet laid aside her
oulcr coal , a long , dark ulster. Il was un
buttoned and thrown back , however , with
Iho white silk handkerchief , such as are
commonly folded by men about their
throats under the edge of Ihc overcoat in
winter. Her skirts wore also of a dark ,
minglcd-lookim : slut ) ' , and kilted plainly
to Hie waisl wilh no overdress. The
waist was a half lilted sack cpal with the
cut at Iho lliroal similar loilial of a man
and wilh Ihesame pockets , Under it was
a close-litling waistcoat in wliioii
wore watch and chain ; a plain stand
ing collar ami cravat were entirely
masculine in tone. I got so interested in
noting the lillle dolttrls that Iiscarcely ou
sel-veil what she was saying. I even
noticed thai she wore wide cull's with
heavy link-buttons and a seal ring , and
when she began to look in her pocket
for her handkerchief I almost held mv
breath with the keenness of my curiosity
to see what ort it would bo and almost
lai'ghod ttloud when it proved to be , .is
I hail half anticipated , u plain , large
square of hemsUtehod China silk. "
The. masculine attire of Miss Gilder is
nol worn with any ostentation and people
ple meeting her on the street would
scarcely notice il. She wears il during
her business because she really works
very hard nnd has to have complete
physical ease to concentrate her mind on
nor labor * . Hardly any arrangement of
fashionable feminine dress will do Mini1 ,
tlio arms throat and wai-it tire all more
or less cramped and confined , and Ibis-
clover young journalist does nol allow
any unreasoning prejudice to stand in
the way of complete equipment for her
work.

"All Quiet on tlio Potomac , "
The saying"till qi.iot on the Potomac,1'
which sprang into life during the lata
war , says a writer in Iho St. Louis ( Hobo-
Democrat , has passed into n proverb now
common in every household. It hail n
palhetic origin in Ihe poem. "All Quiet
Along tlio Polomao To-night,1' , by Mrs.
Ktliof Lynn Heers. The lady
lived In Orange , N. .1. , when
she wrote the well-known song
which had many claimants ; but only one
of them , Major Lamar Fontaine , of the
confederate army , made any serious al-
tempt to dispute Mrs. Uoor.s' statement ,
thai il was IIOM. Mr. ( iiternsey , for
years editor of llarjicr's Maga/.me , who
received Iho original copy of the lynu
for the Weekly , in which it appeared ;
Mr. Dtivison , author of "Living Writers
of the South , " Chandler Harris ( Undo
Itomiis ) , till give testimony absolutely in
favor of Mrs. IJccrs. The following is an
extract from a letter of hers on the subject ,
addressed lo Helen Kendrlek Johnson :
"Tho poor picket had made so many
authentic claimants and willing sponsors
that I sometimes question myself whether
1 really did write it that cool September
morning after reading the stereotyped
announcement , 'All quiet , etc. , to which
was added in line tvpe , A picket shot. ' "
Mrs. IJcers was Miss Ktlielinda Klliolf ,
n descendant of John Elliott , apostle to
the Indians. Her nom do plumo. Ethel
Lynn , was easily and prettily m\de from
her Sa\on Christian name. After her
marriage she added her husb.tnd's name
in Ilio signalure to many sweet stories of
homo life , among the best known of
which nru "Weighing the Huby,1' ' and
"Ha by Looking Out for Mo" She died
in Orange seven years ngo , on the day on
which her poems wore issued in book
form.
