A "steiy Kf.nl by Mr. O. F. Adams te HI
CI.i-h in KiikIisIi Literature,
Tet. 1881.
It is let'ty years, or ncaily se, since the
Laureate gave us the iiist hint of what
was afterwaids levelled te tis in the Idyls
of the King, the fragment called the
"Mertc d' Atthur.' It was pieluded by
the story of a conversation between three
fiietids concerning an epic of twelve
books called King Aitliur, which one of
them had wiitten and bunit, because dis
satisfied with it. Anether of the three
hail lescicd one of tlie books from tlie
flames and pteerved it. and the Meite d"
Aithur purpetts te be this book. In this
fragment we find the same charm of do de do
scnptien I hat fascinates a later generation
in tlie Idyl-s and the same mastery of
weuts. fceattered hete and there we are
sine, asm th: Idyls, te come suddenly

The hesita'ing moe.i of Sir Uedivere is
hinted at iti the line which, in its .slew,
ditli -tilt in.;-. rment strives te imitate the
m itii.er of his lctuiu te King Ar'iliur :
"Se tie le he b i"k Je t!ic wounded kin." j
Tlieie is but one dissyllable hi the. whole
line, you sec. and the Mtcicssieu of mono- '

rcgict that th jieem has been worked j
ever into what it nev-- is. Complete as it
was befeie. in its way, it new falls easily
into its pi. ice as one of a series forming
the Arthuiiau epie. "Without these addi
tions we should have lest many beautiful '

The whole order of the Hound Table is

Lj ing theie in the church through whose,
mined walls the moonlight falls theie
comes a solemn sadness into his musings
as he thinks of what has been and what

King Arthur's wound is deep, and without
help lie cannot live un'il the mnuew, and

As came the sweul se must it new l.-turn,
and thinking en what perchance may fol fel
low this return, the king commands Sir
Bedivere t
"T.tk- Lvcilibar.
And llinliim far into the middle mere;
Watch what thou sCest, and lightly briie; nie
word."
The bold Sir Bedivcie premises and down
sharji ciaus he inds along till he comes
upon
the sliiauiLj levcijel thu lake.
Then drew he lerth ihe brand Kscilibur,
And o'er him drawing It, the winter moon

Perhaps the knight till new has never
wavered in the pei fernianc of any duty.
IIe may have thought with scciet self
satisfaction that such was the case and
never dreamed that he could fall. How
ever this may be, suddenly, in a hour
when least expected the temptation has
come which tinds him tee weak te resist
it, for, holding up the sword
" He jrazed e inns

On the king's eacer question of what has
taken place the kntlit rc-pet:ds evasively,
easy is the descent; from one sin te
another.
I hand the ripple wu-liin in the :ei!d-.
And the wild water Lipping all the nif r . "
But the kinjj, cenlident that some .si;u
would have been vouchsafed, and leasnn
ing also pet haps from some iisui:itieii of
nonchalance in Sir IJedivere's inanncr. de
tects the falsehood and once meie cliaic.
the ktiiht te de as he h.ts been bidden
and bring him word of what may chaner.
A bceend time the gleiies oftliatsweul
prove tee much for Sir I',dieie".s loyalty
te Aithur and with .specious arguments tie
tties te stifle his inner sene efwh.it is
right. "When once we admit a p.uley with
expediency in questions of i;ghr and
wrong it is easy te coin ince euiselves that
the tight cenise is tlie one we iris.'t te be
right. Se is it with the bjld Sir Bedivere
arguing with himself that
, " "riiekinir is -ii-i.. and Line

Again the king questions : Again the
knight lcturus the same answer. Is then
, "'" 'st el :l" m knight a traitor te his
1 king? Would he di&ebev his Jeid that he
may have Excalilmr for his ewsi '.' Thoughts
like thee make bitter the rpieaches of
the king as he commands Sir Uediveie

?nil!; ISl.ick's Keply te Coiuiiusilener l'ink.
Judge Illack has addressed the following
Ie'ter te the New Yerk Werld:
I have iust read Mr. Fink's article in
the MtoWefthc 23th instant. Consider
ing the great importance of the subject,
your readers, however, much they may ad
tune and love the present style of making
rath oil', will net blame you feradmittiug
a snett reply. His great peit.t if it can be
ctllcd a point, is that the abuses and cx cx cx
toitien of the iailw.iv corporations
ate net se great as I supposed.
He may lie light in his assertion that my
estimate is tee high, but he does net con
vice me that his own is net entirely tee
low. What the newspapers made me say
I knew net, but what I did say substan
tially was that t lie carrying corporations,
had a light te such teasenable freights as
w mid reimbuise them the cost of service
and make a fair profit besides en the capi
tal by th"iu actually invested in construct
ing the toils. All they take beyond that
i-, unlawful and extortionate. Hew much
the aggugate of this excess amounts te
Ins never bjen computed ; I could only
iftv'" some general reasons for believing it
te be very large. The following ate the
b.t-es of the 5te.it calculation I was able fe
tr. she.
First. The through rates ate the lowest
tint aie anywheie charged, and these
tales are new fient Chicago te New
Yeik U'MVjnti per 100 weight, or ;7 per
ten.
Second. Tins evidence- of perfectly icli
able cxneits. taken bv the Hepburn e m-
mitUe, leaves no loom te doubt tint M
cents pet 10D weight make them a pielit.
though pTuaps net a large one. and at 0
cents it is cuoiitieus
Thud. Hut the four great tiuuk lin.-s
Ii.i-.i" cnniVdciated themselves tegetlicr
and combined te charge an excess of 15
c its per 100 weight, or $5 per ten abeic
I he hi 'nest rate which law or justic: an
tbei
Fourth. If the facts and calciil.it tens of
the congressional committees jue te be
ci'-iiitcl. aii advance of only 5 cents pci

at it lunatic is v-rJj.OOU.OJO.
Fifth. I lichcve though of eeur.-e I can
not be sure, that the tran-.pn;tatieii of the
eiep. docs net constitute meie than onc enc
thitd of the whole business done 011 tlie
thiotulirai'ieads ; tiiciefoie we multiply
;2-i..JOi),OiS0 by three te find what the
whole excess amounts te. The tc-.ult is
i'7."i,0e,'K)0 a sum situply appalling.
?:ixth. I have no means of knowing he.v
much is the local fi eight en the
thietigli lines and en the shorter branches.
It is luebably much less than the long
hauls, but the excesses are piopeiiionably
se much gteater that it seems fair te add
at least another $2"25,O00,O0O en that .ie
count.
Xew I de net pietend that tliis estimate
is fractionally accurate, but meiely that it
i.s made in geed faith fiem the best uia
tei ials had. It is awfully large. I take
shame te mysjlf and te my fellow citizens
whet! I think that we have been tame and
r.i upid enough te bear such buiden.s ui si
lence. Mr. Fink will relieve us gieatly by
showing that lite laihead monopolies
have been meie moderate in their exae
tiiins than we supposed. His eflerts te
that end v. ill have my best wishes for
'heir success. The less the abuses the
better will be our chance? of reforming
them altogether. Our facts and ligtn-.s
a: e submitted te the scrutiny of the lail
e.id advocate'-, in tlie full conscieusii'-s,
thai they probably need a revioien whieii
we eurs'-ivcs :i'-e net able te give them.
!)ut "tr. Fink must come up te this
a -uk Miuateiv,
itid in a way consistent !
with what, you call "the equity el his
iiuiid." Whatever Peer's Mitnnnl may say
he must net aslt us tt disbelieve the known

The iclative durability of the two pig
ments named when applied te railway '
building and biidge.s, formed the subj :
of debate befeie the Master Car Painters
eeuvei'.tbn at bt. Leuis. Mr. Coelcysa'rf:
Tiie preposition suggested combined two
subject.-, which are Justus ditYereut as it is
possible te make them iron bridges and
wooden buildings. As far as iron bridges
are concerned, my experience is, that iron
paint is the best for them. I had a little
t-xpeiience last summer, eutke Burlington
, Quiney bridges. The Quiney
bridge was painted with two coats
of lead. The manufacturer primed
it with iron. The same year that I
the Quiney bridge was painted with
lean. I paitucu en: iiiniugiuii uimjiu ".
ll met; s inci.iiiic p.ieu.iiiuj; n. 1 "" wan,
Last summer I painted both bridges again
with metallic paint, and I found the co'i ce'i co'i
ditien el the bridges very different indeed.
I examined the bridges myself thoroughly
and I leund that en the Burlington bridge
which was painted five years before with
Prince's metallic paiut. the paint was a'
most intact, wlijle the Quiney hi idge th .t
was painted with two coats of lead p lint
the same ye tr. with very little lead in it,
from the top cord and the tops of all the
reds the paint had entirely disappeared
through the pt lining or mineral that was put
en by the manufacturer, and en the sides it
parthlly protected it. I ne-er painted an
lrm bridge with lead myself, and that is
all the experience I have tiad with Ieatl
and iron paint.en iron btidges. As far as
wooden bridges and wooden buildings aie
concerned. I would favor iron print as far
as durtbillty is concerned. Se far as taste
and color aie concerned, of course light
d'abs are better, especially for buildings.
We h ive used iron paint exclusively en nil
our bridges en the r-ud that I de business
for. "We use iniur-ral p lint, e-i our c!rip
buildings, and drabs, shaded, en cur bet
ter class of houses : both with geed re
: nlt-i. I think the mineral paint st mils
the longer. As far at durability is ce-t-cerncd.
mineral paint, in my opinion, is
better titan lead.
.Mr. Murrt": Wepaiul our depots, freight
house, ike., with Prince's metallic paint.
W- painl our ,wiudmvs and deer-casings
with white lead ; s w both c Z.'rs en-tbelj-
mixed with oil We put twi. coats
