STOESSEL OF PORT ARTHUR. | everywhere the whole day long, toiling as the
veriest, gullap-site, putting the town into a state of complete defence; aben, when night came, throwing aside his gorgeous uniform as General, and donning one that any private might wear, he would creep ahout from post to post to see with his own eyes that those under him were doing their duty and keeping due watch. That the whole town, the garrison in. cluded, were more or less demoralised when he took them in hand there can be no doubt. The hardest part of his hard task, indeed, has been tostirup those around him and inspire them with his own enthusiasm~his own faith in them and in Russia. And how well he has done it is proved
themselves, by the gallant fashion in which they are fighting, by the ringing cheer they raised when he answered with a scoff the Japs summons to surrender. "Remember, the whole world has its eyes on you," was the exhortation he addressed to his troops on that terrible day when the news of Kuropatkin's defeat first reached them. And the hint was enough; there was not one among them but re-echoed his words when he added: "It is not we who will yield." Never a murmur was raised when he replied, " But you can die," to the soldiers who informed him they crald no longer hold the post he had given them to guard; and his order was obeyed to the letter when he told the garrison the Japs were driving out from Wolf Hill to return to Port Arthur at slow arch,

Of all the Russians whom the present war has brought to the fore the most interesting, from the scenic point of view, is certainly General Stoessel, the defender of Port Arthur, Bold-blooded Westerners are always inclined to look on him askance; they even go so far as to dub him a poseur and phrase-maker, and not altogether without reason, for, oddly enough, considering what a thorough soldier he is in other respects, striking altitudes and telling BEG to announce that they have phrases have for him undoubtedly a quite special attraction. He is never so happy as when playing the chief role in a thrilling just received their
episode, never so happy as when enunciating by the way in which they are now comporting the right to know what a medicine is, and what noble sentiments in picturesque terms. He dearly loves the dramatic, and revels in the sensational; he is one of those, in fact, who play to the gallery instinctively, if unconscious- ly, who moreover play to it always in baskins. In judging of him it behoves one to bear well in mind that he is a Slav; for an Anglo-Saxon who talked in quite the strain in which he talks sometimes in public-in private life he is a silent man rather than otherwise it is interest ing to note--would most likely be a perfect -humbug, and a humbug the General most emphatically is not. On the contrary, he is an eminently straightforward, sincere man, and be really feels all that he says, even when he indulges in expressions that strike others as being decidedlý flamboyant.

Ruthlesss as be is in his dealings with the strong, no man could be more gentle or con- siderate than General Stoessel when the weak and suffering are in question. Never a day pader but be mas te bly way to the hospital, and strives by his kindly sympathy to lighten the burden the sick and wounded must bear He is always accompanied by his much-loved wife, who, pelits and fragile-fooking as she is, works as hard as he does and in her tender womanly way is perhaps every whit as brave as he is. From the day the siege began she has given herself up entirely to nursing those who are striken, and striving to comfort those who are bereaved. Whatever be the ultimate fate of Port Arthur, whether it keeps the foe at bay, or whether it is forced to vield, General Stoes sel has already won for h mself, by the gallant place among those who have done all that man fashion in which he has defended it, a high could do to ward off disaster from their country.-Ex.
