GLADSTONE’S OPTIMISM. ‘What the Statesman Says ef the Lau- Feate’s Sequel to “Lecksley Hail.” From the 8t. James Budget. Mr. Gladstone contributes to the Nineteenth Century an article upon Lord Tennyson's lately published sequel to “Locksley Hall” Speaking of ‘the poetic merit of the work, Mr. Gladstone says that “although the new ‘Locksley Hail’ ts, as told by the calendar, a work of Tennyson’s old age, yet 1s his poetic eye not dim nor his natural force abated;” and he goes on to observe that “the very last criticism that will be hazarded,or, if hazarded, will be accepted, on his work will be that ft be- trays a want of tone or fiber.” Addressing himself to the substance of the poem, Mr. Gladstone looks on the opening of this century a8 a time of great gloom and darkness. What he calls “the back- waters of the French revolution, and of the war against i almost submerged ‘progress in land! “The first three decades of this century were far from normal. They suffered, both mor- ally and politically, from the terrible recoil of the French revolution and of the means employed to counteract it.” But since 1830 the progress has been incessant and rapid. Touching Mr. Gladstone says: “The prop! of the new ‘Locksley hall’ records against us indny sad and even shameful defaults. a i ae a d, and the list probably might let ened.

Take first the city chil as he ts described. For one such child now there Were ten, perhaps twenty, fity years back. A Very large and a still increasing proportion of these children have been brought under the | regular training and disctpline of the school. “Take the maidens who are now, as they were then, cast by thousands on the street. But then, if one among them were stricken with nitence and sought for a place tn which to bide her head, she found it only im the pomp of paid institutions and ina help well meant, no doubt, yet carrying little of what was most essential—sympathetic discrimination and mild, nay even tender care. Within the hait century a new chapter has opened. Faith and love have gone forth into the field. Specimens of womankind, sometimes the very best and highest, have not deemed this quest of souls beneath them. Scrimping of wages, no doubt, there is and Was. but the fair wage of to-day 1s far higher than it was then, and the unfair wage 13 assumably not lower.

From the Times of India. ‘The last census in India revealed the fact that there are more occupations engaged in by the people of the country than the ordinary public is cognizant of, but, as far as we remember, It has been left to the Madras smail cause court to bring | to light a gentleman who gains his living by devil | extracting. This novel and, if we may Judge by the fee charged, highly lucrative employment, ap- pears to be recognized as a perfectly legitimate profession. The cause of action, it {fs tue, Was put down in the plaint as’a refusal tO pay the plainui! for the cure of the defend- ant’s brother “of a mental disorder or ma- bia attended by physteal distress, insensibility and pains,” but there was no disutse in court as to the exact nature of the claim. In fact, the Judge, a native gentleman, appeared to resent the | skeptlctsm of the defendant's pleater as to the | possibility of casting out devils and his jocularity at the expense of the plaintiff's profession. “What, if a doctor does mot cure, ue cannot re | cover!” his honor exclaimed on one occasion, and on another, when the defendant's pressed his disbellet In dev: cousequentiy observed: ju believe tn haunted houses?” To this remark the pleader | replied: “There may be a spiritual manifesta. | tion,” from which it would appear that he 1s not altogether free from the superstition which he | Tidiculed. ‘The platnttf’s crossexamination was very diverting.

In spite of the multifarious duties and tasks that ‘are imposed on these tiny burghers, they still nd time to clean and adorn their worty little persons. ‘Nospot, no atom of dust or anything else uncleanly ‘will they tolerate on their bodies. They get rid of the dirt with the bushy tufts on their feet, or with thetr tongues. They act for all the world like do- mestic cats whenever they clean and lick them- selves, and they assist one another at the totlet Precisely like monkeys. ‘Their sense of cleanliness goes so fur that the naturalist often finds, to his Unpleasant surprise, the colored marks that he had applied with go much care on bis “trial ants” The aweiling Just on Lane — ir dwellings Just as cleanly.

From the Atlanta Constitution. ‘Was it murder? A group of oficers stood in an Atlanta book Store one sultry afternoon in ‘sixty-four, discus- sing the execution of a batch of deserters, it was Just before the siege. Sherman was on the other ‘Side of the Chattahoochee, and as the officers talked the sullen boom of cannon every now and then interrupted their conversation. But was it murder? ‘This question was uppermost in my mind as I Ustene horror-stricken to the running talk around me. It had been remarked that one of the deserters who had been shot an hour before was a youth of sixteen. “I felt rather sorry for the boy,” sald the captain. “Oh, it’s all right,” observed the major. “Discipline mist'be maintained at any cost,” put in the general, : “Yes, of course,” assented the cay “Beyond a doubt,” was the major’s comment, powBesides,” said tile general, “ne was no longer a or. He was a soldier, and when he deserted he knew the consequences.” “Just So,” echoed the others stmultancously, but their faces wore a cloudy look. The general picked up Jomint’s “Art of War,” and a8 ¢ of it as a greatly overrated book. “What ts the price of 1t?” he inquired. “Fiiteen dollars,” replied the bookseller, “You see, gentlemen,” said the general, “how these cormorants take advantage of our Inisfor- tunes. Fifteen dollars for a book worth fifty cents!” ‘The military men all giared at the bookseller, who wisely sald nothing. as Said the captain, apparently resuming his talk, “Iwas never so dffected in my life a3 Was when I saw that little fellow shot.” “Did he finch?” asked the major. “Not a bit. He was very pale, and his eyes had that faraway look peculiar to men who are looking death in the face. He stood it like a hero, never trembled, and had his wits about him to the last.” “Died instantly, didn’t he?” said the general. “Yes. Four balls through the heart.’ “So much the better. He did not suffer.” And the general picked up “Mahan on Field Fortifica- tions.” “heard that boy belonged to a good family,” le ran away from home and said the major. joined the army and fought bravely. His deser- Uoa was more of a little escapade anything else.” “If Sherman was not pressing us so infernally hard,” faternipet the captain, “he would have been’ let off, but the court-martial just rushed Uhings through, and there was nobody to look after the boy.” Boom! Boom! thundered the cannon over the hills at the front, “Why should anybody look after him?” inter- posed the general. “We must look after the army and its discipline.” Boom! “The fact 1s,” continued the general, “matters have reached a point where we must make an ex- ample of every man wko falls to do his duty.” “1 adinit It,” replied the captain, “but it makes: my biood run cold to slaughter mere boys.” ‘The general tucked Jomini’s “Art of War” in his pocket and paid for it. ‘Then he turned around and cleared his throat, ‘Now listen to me,” he sald impressively. “You certainly will give’ me credit for the average amount of kindness, sympathy and human feeling. ‘Yet I cannot agree with you about that deserter. Reem to all accounts he was a sensible lad. He knew bis duty ag a soldier. He knew that if he deserted he would be shot. What did he do? When the enemy was marching on, threatening this very city, endangering. the existence of the confederacy, he sueaked off to the woods, Some say he was going to see his mother. It does not matter, He Was a deserter. If we spared him others would have to be spared. The army would be de- moralized. Desertious would be the order of the day. Wehad to shoot bimas an example. It could not be avoided. Now, let us drop the subject. I know that I am right, and I should like to see any one stand up and sdy ghat Iam wrong.” Boom! Boom! ‘The wave of thunderous sound rolled over the whole city, and people stopped to listen, Just then a light wagon, Covered with dust and evidently from the country, stopped in front of the store. Two women alighted andcame in. One was quite young, and the other, who was old enough to be her Wother, leaned of ber arm. “Have you an eveni aper?” the young woman bookseller, & cS asked the He handed one to her, and the old woman, arranging her spectacléey glanced nervously ver It. “Yes, it ts true that there was an execution a to-day,” she whispered hurriedly to her com- panion. Boom! For some reason the officers relapsed into an em- barrassed silence. The major with his index finger commenced drawi ifoatiohs on a map of Georgia. The capt looked moodily at the floor, ‘The general pulled “art of War” out of his pocket and then thrust it back again. “Oh, mercy!” exclaimed the young woman in a low tone, “those people told us the truth then.” “oh, my God! “My poor murdered boy!” So wild, unearthly and plereing was the cry that every man in the room started in alarm, ‘The old Woman had fallen back in a chair, gasp- tng for breath, with her face as white as a sheet, Hier companion gently fanned her until she lala her gray head on her hand and sobbed aloud. scltyning Jo the sympathetic and silent. specta- rs, the Young woman to @ paragraph in Pes ber boy-“her only son, ‘Th . “IL was her boy—her only son. ‘The calls it military justice.
