TUESDAY, : : I DECEXBER-SS, 1883.
THE riIVR)IAL HOLIDAY.
Every nation has its holidays, but this
is tho only day which tho civilized world
unites in celebrating. Our Puritan ances
tors, believing Christmas to lie chiefly an
institution of the Church of Home, for
awliile tabooed any celebration of the day.
lint the Old World customs have gradu
ally crept in upon us until the American
people have united in setting apart Christ
mas us a day of recreation, amusement,
gift-making, worship, renewing social
friendships and for uniting in the acclaim,
"(ilorytoOod in tho highest, on earth
peace, nod will to men." Christmas is
the festival of human fellowship and hu
man brotherhood, and tho increasing im
portance attached to it in the world-wide
preparations made for its observance, the
growing universality of' its customs,
all atlcht the rapid coming of that
day when all nations will be united
in common intercuts and a com
mon brotherhood. This is one of the
holidays when our active and overworked
people give themselves up to social enjoy
ment, and permit their kind and gener
ous feelings to flow out in love and sym
pathy. Kverybody has a good word to
say on Christmas. As the day approaches
the atmosphere grows clearer and brighter.
A spirit pervades of gentleness and ten
derness. The beggar asks alms with con
fidenre and impunity. The miser forgets
to count his hoards. The business man,
overwhelmed with cares.battling with fate,
stops to rest,to take a respite on the way and
wnilo with cheerful satisfaction on those
around him. Neighbors shake hands with
n warmer grasp. I'tiinilips meet with re
newed nU'wtinii. Children are freed from
grim realities and live in a land of fairy
tales and bewitching enchantments. Tho
goddess of plenty opens her lap
and pours her inexhaustible treasures
bountiful and beautiful at their feet. The
weather is never cold enough to chill the
heart on Christmas day. Charity, the
sweetest and chiefest of all the graces,
leaves her abiding place, and with uncov
ered head and smiling faco walks abroad,
lilling tho world with joy, happiness, and
inspiring nobler aims and aspiration?.
Homes in this way are indeed homes,
rich in love, in tenderness, and newly
awakened ali'ections. Tim fires burn
brighter, the tables groan with added bur
dens, familiar faces shine with radiant
glow, the lutigli, tho jest, the song, the
dance, all bear witness to a keener and
inlciiHer enjoyment. Kor (liristtmis the
Church reserves her sublimit worship
nnd loftiest praise. The secret of Christ
inas lies in tho fact that it celebrates the
birth of Clfrist, for whom the shepherds
watched by night the babe born in
lVthleLem. None of the festival days of
the civilized world are ho worthy of our
reverent and joyous adoration as the anni
versary of tho birth of Him, of whom,
wherever human speech is heard, is re
peated the old story:
A ti.l th-rc were in thn same country shepherds
hIiiiImik in (ho field, keeping y.il. Ii over their
fliM-h Ity nipht.
An. I, l.i, tin. nnircl of tho I.nr.i fame upon thorn,
nuil tho Kl..ry ..f the l.nr.l himo around about
them: iin.l thry were ..ore at'rai.l.
Ami the nnm-l Hiii.l unto tlioni, rVar not, for,
l..-h.ij.l, I brine: you coo. I tidings f ureal jov,
whirli shrill he u nil people.
Kor unto you is horn thin dnv in the city of
I'aviil a Savior, whi.'h in l'hrit tlie l,oru
Anil thin i-hnll he a viirn unto vou : Ye shall find
the Imlio wrapped in swuddlina: clothes, lying in a
manrr.
And suddenly thorp was with the unite a multi
tude of the heavenly hoat praising Uod, and nay
Hie, (ilory to Hod in the highest, and on earth peace,
irouu will toward men.
No wonder tho civilized world unites in
celebrating Christmas, for it reminds us of
tho cruel death, the triumph over the
grave, the cross with its wide-spread arms,
lie anchor to which the dying man clings,
as his little bark sails out into the mys
terious river of eternity. This anniver
sary celebrates a world enlightened, civ
ilized, humanized and exalted by the
teachings of tho Master. Such a day
nhould stir tho hearts of men and crys
tallize the world intu one universal chorus
of thanksgiving.
AlU flt: AMIEVrlMTIOX.
Tlie rapidity with which strikes, the
temporary closing of manufacturing con
cerns, overproduction of manufactures,
and bankruptcy, together with the refusal
of the people any longer to lie misled by
the fallacies of protectionist claims, is pro
voking the monopoly-supporting journals
t. expressions of rage and tonus of abuse
are proofs of their estimate of their
present precarious position. This out
break of temper, this recourse to calling
opponents lunatics, idiots and fools, is the
recourse of despair and the proof that
schemes are battled and that designs have
miscarried. Kven the papers that revel
in abuse are compelled to acknowledge de-
nw oy nuvocaiiug partial reforms, and by
denouncing the instrumentalities they
have used so unscrupulously and with so
little cll'ect. A Tennessee journal that is a
very zealous, if not a very logical defender
"f a high tariu", now owns that "onr tariff is
for the most part incongruous, unjust, full
of small abuses and jolw," just as the tar
iu" reformers have always said it is. Fur
ther, the same pajHT, no longer claiming
that tho sham revision of the last Con
gress must stand for fear of deranging
trade, now grants that "what is needed is
a business revision of the list of duties hv
a business board, and consent of Congress
to adopt such a revision." Still further
does this hitherto hot-headed advocate of
a high tariff go, it says that ''Congress has
shown a ilor.en times its utter incapacity
to deal with the subject intelligently."
The old bulk of protection, with a war tan ft"
for cargo, is breaking up, and the day is
near when the snake that has poisoned
the sources of our commercial prosperity
and driven the American Hag from the
seas, Mill I, paralyzed, thenceforth to
linger until itsextinction by self-generated
evil influences.
THB POSTAL MAVlStiS TsrTXX.
"It is not what a man gets that makes
him rich, but what he saves," is a truth
that young beginners in life cannot too
strongly remember and act npon. The
statesman would do well to remember it
also, that he may secure the enterprising
and the prudent tlie means of saving, for he
who saves has a stake in society that helps
to make him a peaceful, law-abiding citi
zen. To hoard money in the house is
dangerous and unprofitable ; thieves may
steal it and tire may bum it. A savings
bank is required where there is no danger
of bankruptcy, no kws from bad manage
ment, and that is situated so as to be read
ily accessible to all. To secure these
things the central government should be
the banker and the banks should be the
postotfices. The Postmaster-General's an
nual reports have directed the attention
pi Congress tq this subject, but so far with-
out success, although tl-e example of those
nations that have adopted the postal sav
ings system is sufficient guarantee for
the excellence and practicability of
the plan. Our neighbor, Canada, has
had a postal bank in operation
for fifteen years, anil its last annual report
shows there are 330 such banks, in which
109,439 deposit, aggregating $0,820,260,
were made in the year, the average being
$02. The withdrawals were 45,252, amount
ing to $4,730,995. The total amount out
standing to the credit of depositors was
$l2,4ofi,0C3. Tho cost of handling this
money is about one-twenty-fifth of one per
rent., the rate of interest paid the deposit
ors being four per cent. No depositor can
have more than $1000 in bank, and it takes
a special request on the rostniaster-General
to be allowed to deposit over $300. Such
an institution wor.U be of the greatest ad
vantage to our working people, and would
enable many of them to set np in business
for themselves. That we may have these
excellent advantages requires that the
recommendations of the Postmaster-General
should be heartily sustained by the
people. Every constituency should ca)
upon its Representatives and Senators to
do an immense good to the people by
passing a postoflice savings system.
THE CiBEAT Dl'TY.
The great duty that at this moment
specially demands our attention is help
for the poor. The business of the country
has been depressed all the year, and there
are many sufferers whose poverty is owing
to no fault of their own. The year has
been one of strange meteorological phe
nomena, and many have suffered from
storm and flood. Besides these extraordi
nary cases of poverty, there is the perpet
ually occurring cases of accidents, sick
ness, the death of natural protectors, and
other unfortunate incidents that cast help
less and distressed persons upon the good
will and kindness of society. This day's
occasion is one that should especially di
rect eur thought and sympathies toward
the poor. To-day we celebrate the best gift
that heaven has bestowed upon earth, the
assurance of heaven's good will to man in
sending to him aid' in his wretchedness,
when the Greek and the Roman were sunk
in debauchery and atheism, and the law of
Moses had become a series of dead forms.
Then He who brought hope and deliver
ance entered this world "and for our sakes
became poor," His first home a stable, His
cradle, the manger from which the cattle
eat And Ife called upon us to recognize
Hissacrince for us, by ourselves sacrificing
something for the poor and the suffering.
Can we think of no poor family to-day
whose meal will be a crust, w hile our
table overflows with plenty ? Can we help
noite whom the coming cold of winter,
the piercing blasts and the biting frosts
will find with little bedding and scant of
garments? Think, readers, of the poor,
the desolate, the old, the friendless, the
helpless, the unfortunate, the orphan, and
the lonely widow; think what wailing,
moaning, tears, distress, anxiety, cold,
hunger, sorrow and despair there is at
this moment in the world. If yon can
soothe one bosom, relieve one pang, stop
one cry, bring one smile on the face of the
child ; one glow of comfort to the suffer
ing and unfortunate, thank God for the
privilege and lovingly, with sympathetic
heart, do yonr great Christmas duty.
Tiik New York Evening 1'ost takes its
eyes off the .South long enough to find out
that an alarming discovery was made by
the superintendent of schools in Hills
dale, Pa., last week. Two young boys,
hardly in their toens, were quarreling,
when one told the other he would shoot
him if he found him on a back street, and
that "he carried the tool to do it with," or
words to that effect. The superintendent,
learning of this talk, sought an interview
with the young man, and found in his
pocket a seven-shooter with five loaded
barrels, ready to carry his threats into
execution. From this interview he learned
enough to warrant an investigation of the
pockets and hoot-legs of other young boys,
when to bis surprise he found another boy
carrying a five-shooter, and others with
pistols of various kinds and sizes, from a
toy pistol to a deadly weapon. Each one
of the young scoundrels should at once
have had about twenty stripes laid on the
softest part of his anatomy with a good
leather strap. That would cure them of
pistol-carrying.
In Kansas prohibition means something
and makes the business of saloon-keeping
very costly. In Pottawatomie county re
cently. Saloon-keeper Ilulen, having been
convicted on twenty counts, was fined $100
on each count, and on the twenty-first
count the Court committed him to jail to
stay until alt the money is paid. Saloon
keeper Shaw, also having been convicted
on thirteen counts, was sentenced to pay
$100 and costs on each count and to spend
thirty days in jail and stay there until he
pays up. Salooon-kecper Pittman got
$1100 fine and a month in jail. Upon
twenty dealers the Court imposed fines
aggregating $7600 and $3000 costs and
ninety days in jail.
PROF. HASTINGS,
Of the Joaaa Napkin. Inleeraltr, on
the Ked Manse.
The scientific men are all at seas about
the red sunsets. Prof. Hastings, who is
connected with the Johns Hopkins Insti
tute, has been interviewed, and says that
the phenomenon cannot be explained un
til reports have been received from ell
points about it. Nothing yet suggested
satisfies him. He dismisses the various
theories as follows: "It is not sodiaenl
light, for that is not red. Dry air? That
is colorless so far as known. Aqueous
vapor? Tho colors of sunset are due to
vapor and dust, but vapor is always pres
ent in tlie atmosphere and does not ex
plain this light. Volcanic gases? These
are not suposcd to be sufficiently abund
ant. Comet's tail? The nearest comet is
90,000,000 of miles from the earth. .Mete
oric dust? In 1833 and 117, when there
were millions of meteors, there were no
such sunsets, and this experience is
against such a supposition. The sun's red
light? This is no reason, for it is alwavs
present. The objection to the electrical
theory is that there are no corresponding
i-inoniinrv riecineai aisturnances recog
nized. A miit.er of this kind, if it de
ended on electrical disturbance, could
not exist, it is thought, without other
electrical phenomena."
VISITORS FROM THE SPIRIT LAM).
In Olney, 111., the apparition of a woman
six feet in hight, wearing burial clothes,
was seen sitting on the steps of tlie Mo

Ten years ago seven young ladies at a
halloween party at Montreal agreed to
meet again on the same evening ten vears
after, tlie stipulation being "dead or afive."
Four years ago the originator of the plan
died very suddenly. The others survived,
and at the recent halloween anniversary a
chair was left vacant for the missing one.
The chair was draped in black, while on
the table in front ol it were some withered
Mowers from tlie grave of the tlead girl.
The Montreal (iasette thus concludes the
story: "The young lady next to tlie emptv
chair spoke of a strange nervous sensation,
but this was not thought of at the
time. After tea they started for
the parlor, the young' Lady last mentioned
leading the wy and carrying in her hand
the bunch of withered flowers. When she
opened tlie door she cried : "Look ! look !"
and pointed to the parlor, where they saw
distinctly a tall white figure standing at
the door. She who had first seen it re
treated quickly, and was just leaving the
dining-room by the side door from that
room to the hall when she again saw the
figure, and her cry brought three of the
others to the door, and all saw it glide
quickly along the hall from the parlor door
leading to the street, which seemed to
open of itself and close after the figure had
passed through."

at New York, from Huntington to Colton.
THE EXTRACT.
' March 4, 1877: "Had a talk with Bris
tow. Secretary of the Treasury. He will
be likely to help fix onr matters with the
government an a fair basis. Scott switched
Senator Spencer, of Alabama, and Walker,
of Virginia, this week, but you know they
caji be switched back with proper-arrangements
when wanted. All members of the
House from California are going first rate,
except Pipt. I wish you would write a
letter to Luttrell, saying that I say he is
very able. There have been several
hitches in the Interior Department in re
lation to the last section completed West.
Goshen went to the Secretary, and he put
the thing in shape, so I think we will not
liave further trouble."
The Senate Railroad tttmmitte.
March 14, 1877: "After the Senate Rail
road Committee was made up, Mr. Scott
went to Washington and got one of our
men off and, one of his put on, but that
did not give him the committee. Mr.
Gordon, of . Georgia, was taken off, and
Bogy, of Massachusetts, put on."
('terDlwnMed.
May 7, 1877: "Notice what you say of
Mr. Conover, the Florida Senator. ' He is
a clever fellow, bnt don't go any money
on him. Think if any Republican is
elected in Mr. Sargent's place, he (Sargent)
is worth to us, if he comes back as our
friend, as much as six men, and he should
be returned." " '
Taylor, Kanen, Ins-alls and Anrbanki
Mav 7. 1875: "Am clad you are paying
attention to Gen. Taylor and Mr. Kasson.
Taylor can do us much good in the South.
I think he would like to get a position with
us in California. ' Mr. Kasson has always
been our friend in Congress, and as he is a
very able man, has been able1 to do us
much good. He never lost ns one dollar.
Have written you before about Senator
Conover. He may want to borrow some
money. Don't see how we can let him
have any in California.: Have just given
Senator Ingalls. of Kansas, a letter to you.
He is a good fellow, and can do us much
good. I think he is well disposed toward
us. Senator Morton is coming over also.
His brother-in-law, Burbank. is a good
fellow, but B. means business."
. The Bridge Question Settled.
October 10, 1877: "Went to Washington
night before last. I think I have the
bridge question settled for the present.
I found it harder than I expected. The
Secretary of War told me they had it on
in two Cabinet meetings, and had conclud
ed not to do anything, as Congress would
come together next week. I got htm out
of that idea in about twenty minutes. I
then saw three others of the Cabinet. I
then went and saw the President. He
was a little timid at first, but I soon got
him over." . . - -
Home Inside Lobbying;.
October 9, 1877: "I think Safford had
better be in Washington at the commence
ment of the session to get Congress to
confirm the acts. I saw Axtel, Hovernor
of New Mexico, and he said he thought if
we would send to him Buch a bill as he
wanted passed, he could get it passed with
little or no money, when if we sent a
man there they would stick him for large
amounts. He said if yon would make a
bill and send it to yim or Mr. Waldron, it
could be passed.".
Fixing- V the Howar Committee.
October 30, 1877: i "The committees
are made up for the Forty-fiifth Congress.
I think the Railroad Committee is right, but
the Committee on Territories I do not like,
a different one was promised me."
A tlood Knn for the t'many.
November 24, 1877: "When I heard that
one of the commissioners to examine the
Southern Pacific out from Yuma was to go
from this side, t made objections, which I
would not have done if I had known that
it was Sturgis, who has been long in the
Interior Department, and I hope you will
explain to him. He is one oi the best
men iu that department and can do.us
good in our land matter."
Looks as Thonah the H. P. Had the
Meaate. '
December 5, 1877 1 "ItaVe just received
a telegram from WnRhWton that. Mat
thews ami Windom have been put on the
Senate Railroad Committee in place of
Iloweand Ferry. This looks as though the
Texas Pacific had control of the Senate for
apjiointing tlie committees concerned."
Money Freely focd.
December 18, 1S77: "Jay Gould went to
Washington abont two weeks since, and I
know he saw Mitchell, the Senator from
Oregon, since which time menev has been
used very freely in Washington. Some
parties have been hard at work for the
Union Pacific and Northern Pacific with
the Salt Lake branch that never work ex
cept for ready cash, and Senator Mitchell
is not for us, as he was, although he says
he is, but I know he is not"
Fnmnt'a Appointment.
.Tune 14, 1878: "Fremont has been ap
pointed Governor of Arizona. I shall give
him passes. I think it important for you
to see him on his arrival. See he does not
fall into the hands of bad men. Ho is
very friendly to us now. Scott tried hard
to defeat his being confirmed." I

Haa No Ovalro to Withhold Them from
the Public
New Yobk, December 24. A reporter
of the Associated Press saw C. P. Hunting
ton, of the Southern Pacific Railway Com-
fiany, to-day relative to the publication of
etters written Mr. Colton between the
years 1874 and 1878, in regard to the con
struction of a transcontinental line, which
letters have recently been introduced into
court by Mrs. Colton, who is suing for a
settlement. Huntington said it. was true
he had written several letters to Colton,
and in these letters he may baye spoken
harshly of certain Senators, and if su,thcy
undoubtedly deserved it.--Ho was sure
there was nothing in the letters that he
cared anything about keeping from the
public. He had Written Colton with tlie
same freedom with which he wtmld hav
talked to him, if he had been present,
about their business. Bevond -this, there
is nothing in the letters, which have been
repeatedly offered for sale. Hnntinnt.m
said he told these emissaries lie would
give nothing for the letters. Their publi
cation now, by the San Francisco UirunU-lt,
is no surprise, as no was -well aware what
was intended. Regarding the Colton suit,
there is no specific claim set tin. Tt ir
simply a suit for a settlement of Colton V
interest,, ine attorney who. is pushing
the claim, it is understood, is doing so for
a percentage and what he may mk out
of it, and failing in his object receives
noining. miton died in 1878, and a year
later we settled with Mrs. Colton. Stand
ford and Crocker went to Huntington and
said, "Iet us give Mrs. Colton enough."
She was given $200,000 in monev and tlie
balance in securities. While the condi
tion of the finances of the road was stiU
weak it paid her sixty per oeut, for her
bonds. He was willing to give Lewis,-who
was called in to assist in the settlement,
and known to have plenty of monev,
$100,000, to step in Mrs. Colton 's shoes;
and reap all the benefits with them, while
sharing assessments, but he would not do
it. The widow carried off from the rail
road oiliee Colton's effects, including his
business letters on file. These subse
quently fell into an attorney's hands, ami
are now lieing used to extort monev;
Huntington said, further, that he was
assured some time ago he cosld nmke a
settlement if he wislied, Imt he replied
that he had no case to compromise. ' if a
judgment should be obtained, which he
does not believe can lie done, he will ap
peal the case to the United States Court.
Huntington said, further, he had been in
business fifty years, and did not think
any man could come to him and charge
him with any fraudulent or improjier
transaction. He was willing to submit to
the inspection of honorable men all he
had done, and he was prepared to main
tain all he had said.

Storrs, of Chicago, and Judge Porter, of
New York, put up a job to ret that $o00

could fix up one of his 1 carriers

Six Men Killed and Fiyo Probably Fa
tally Injured by a
Snow-Sllde In Colorado Other Musters
Looked For.
OrRAT, Cou, December' '24. By 'a spe
cial messenger to Monterey, Col., news
has just been received in Ouray of a hor
rible accident at the Yirginiusmine, which
occurred last F riday. Owing to the stormy
weather, which has been more severe than
known for years, the messenger could not
reach Ouray sooner, though only seven
miles. The Virinlus mine is owned by
the Carolina Mining Company, of Boston,
and employs thirty-five men. It is situ
ated above the timber line at the foot of
Sniffles range. Friday afternoon a huge
mass of snow started from the top of the
range, which swelled into an avalanche
as it descended. Striking the building
used as a boardinghouse, where twelve
men were resting, it swept it completely
away, crushing and burying the men fif
teen and twenty feet under the snow
among the rocks and timbers. It fortu
nately missed the enginehouse. After the
noise and confusion had subsided, the
other miners were hoisted from the shafts
ami started to search for their com
rades. Five ttere taken out alive,
but badly crushed, aud may die. The
other six Were found dead, llieir names
are Thos, M nrvan, Jas. Fitzgerald, Kobt.
Fraxer; W. II. Carmichael, Chas. Arm
strong and W. 1. bheniler. . Most of theni
leave families.
Reports received from rtlduntain tot ns
state that there was an unusual snow-fall,
it being tour to live teet deep on a level.
The warm weather of the Dast few davs is
the cause of the snow-slides, which are a
common occurrence late in the spring, but
are not looked for at this season of the
year, which will make it all the more dis
astrous. Other accounts of equal severity
mav be looked for as soon as messengers
can make their way from the interior sec
tions. -

SENATOR EDJtUXWS
ticks to Ilia Plan rr the Bnppreaalon
' of Polygamy in Utah. -
Senator Edmunds writes to the Inde
pendent: The error into which a great
many of the good people of this country
have fallen on the subject is, I think, in
their expecting the extirpation of polyga
mous marriage, as if by a miracle) ns' the
consequence of any legislation or other
tiling which law-makers can dense. It
seems to me to be one of those evils that
are to be overcome by processes apparently
Blow and by means that will gather into
the opposition to it all that portion of the
Mormon people and it is considerable
who do not lielieve in tlie plural marriage
business. I have good reason to believe
that since the passage of the last act,
polygamous marriages have almost ent irely
ceased there, and that, with firm and
capable administration of the law, they
will not be revived. The difficulty with
the proposition to put the government of
the Territory into the hands of a commis
sion is:
T"irit That I believe it to be entirely unconsti
tutional, if the rommisMon it to bo given any
lnir-making imwer; nil I fear

Third It in revulutiennry, and deprives the in
nocent as well a the sniltv of all voice in linblic
afTnira. Nothing but the direst Deed eonld juf tify
wirh a step.
Fourth It in quite clear to my mind thivt tho
suppression of polygamy will be just as fir off
with the government of the Territory in the bands
of a commission as it is now, if not further; for
it will solidify and intensify a class feeling of the
Mormons, and tend to draw to the support of tho
hierarchy anil polygamies the whole body of the
Mormon people.
The bill that I have introduced is sup
plementary to the act already passed, and
it was stated when we reported the other
act that we expected to supplement it by
further provisions. These provisions are
directed to enforcing publicity to every
species of marriage ceremony, legal and
illegal, to the facilitation of the adminis
tration of justice by the summary produc
tion of books, papers, records, witnesses,
etc., and to aiding tho people of the Terri
tory to get its political power out of the
hands of the hierarchy by suspending
woman suffrage there. Woman suffrage
is one of the strongest props that the
polygamous Mormons have for controlling
elections. It was a measti re designed f or
that purpose, although it was approved by
the gentile Governor. On the whole, I
have the best reason for believing that, if
we go calmly and steadily forward, pre

arrested here on the charge of causing the
death, a few days ago, of Louis Brunner.
She was Brunner's mistress. Un .the

quarrel, which resulted in her leaving the
house. It was given out that Brunner
died from painters' colie. An analysis of
his stomach is now'progressing bv direc

LETTERS FR031 THE PEOPLE.
A Meaaa-nia ArUat a no Hla Work.
To toe Editor of the Appeal:
In strolling through the city I chanced
to drop into the studio of the talented
artist, Mr. Carroll Sanders, and would like
to present, through the medinm of the At
tcal's columns, a brief commentary nKin
a few portraits and ideal paintings to be
found there, the work of Mr. Sanders, but
would inform the public that it does not
aspire to the dignity or literrjy form of a
criticism. The ' original conceptions aiB

gorgeous, while the portraits shadow forth
life-like flesh tints, and an admirable trne-
ness to nature. Prominent among the
last-mentioned is a iwtrait of Miss Susie

npon canvass this lovely lace and lissome
form. The picture is beautiful, and some
connoisseurs might pronounce jttp be the
picture t of " the. iatalier-si iptttare that
should be exhibited with the blossoms
and bird-songs of May. The figure is al
most lite size, clad in the mystic anu sym
bolic colors of girlhood blue and white.
Its pnrity, its crystal clearness exempt
from all -coldness, and its tine manage
ment against the durkhued background
defycriticism.andisa monumentof artistic
skill, y et the trneandhiulitened charm ol
the picture rests in the face which gazes
out of it: a placid, tender, childlike face
with its meditative eyes, its speaking
mouth, around which bout smiles .and
sorrow linger. The light glow in the fair
waves of the hair might challenge a nood
of sunlight, so liquid, so golden it is. One
slender hand supports a guitar, and the
wonderful fairness and roundness of the
arm rests upon a deep embrasured win
dow, from whence is commanded a mag
nificent mountain - distance, dare and
grand. The lace-painting in this picture
is a marvel of excellence i the draperies so
gracefully clinging, invite us to lift their
folds and crush their soft meshes. A fair
companion face for this picture is the por
trait of Mrs. Montgomery, nee Miss Maer,
of Columbus, Miss. '9'is only the bust of
a beautiful woman which meets our gaze,
but as we behold we are enchanted by
the extreme loveliness - of bewitching
brown eves brown as the brown leaf of
autumn with the afterglow of a crimson
sunset tintinir them. Deen with feelimr.
and rich In expression 1 There is pecu
liar sweetness of mouth, and the prome
granate lips are at mot t parted, as if to
Bieak; near the corners dimples are play
ing "hide and seek," and mirthfulness is
on the qui tire lor a laugh, ihe nesit
tinting is most exquisite, with the soft,
downy look . of nature; the pink
of tlie rose bathed in tlie dew of
sunrise. :Tis a face rarely encountered,
and the oueenlv noise of the head, the
tender love-light shining trom the face, are
given with true artistic emphasis. Once
again, before we leave the praise of por
traits, let us speak of a tiny head, painted
in black and white. It is tho g-:m of the
mystic three. True, they are not comtrar
able, but they are contrastabb?. The little
primrose face, with its great, dark eyes,
black as midnight, limpid as the brook
let and as innocent as the soul looking out
from them. The soft silken curls seem to
bear the impress of a toad mother s hand,
The ilimnleil shoulders, the poutine line.
both belong: to childhood. Few there are
who have not heard of the enchanting
alo of Cashmere, the spot on which
the story called "The Liirht of the Harem"
was told. And all who have read this ex
quisite pqein remember the lines, ,
"There's a brattlvi forerfn unchansiutfly briorlit
Like the lunf sUnn; lapse of a suunuer day's
imni, ,
Shining on, shininson, by no snadcrw made ten,
der,
Till Love falls asleep in its sameness ef splen
dor." From these lines is taken one of the most
fascinating studies in this collection of art.
It is an ideal creation, representinsr a sleep
ing Cupid in the arms of a high-born, noble-looking
woman, the beatlty of
whom is ottered in contrast to
that "loveliness ever in motion,"
which typihes the young Arurmahal
That "true nobility of soul, which creates
the mad frenzy in the poet, and ol Which
artists dream "and dream, is imbrued in
this face and fiirure. A reeal blonde of
the Ouidarian type ; that, calm, dauntless
gray eyeol the .Northland; tlie same heavy
waves of suver-blonde liair not golden,
not brown, bnt a faultless and character
istic combination of the two. (And in
painting the hair the artist possesses what
the French term "the probity of the pen
cil," or a truth to nature.) However, of
the woman we will cease to speak, since
the feature, tlie study, the inspiration of
the picture is Cupid, and a lovelier, ten
derer, more divine little figure could not
be conceived. He is sleeping, and while
the fair woman watcheB he dreams, 'tis of
angels and pleasant things, for his lips are
slightly parted, a cherubic smile hovers
around, the waxen lids seem to quiver,
and the pale skin almost Hushes as we
gase. ' The delicate limbs, the baby hands
seem to move in restiveness, and a faint
breeze seems stirring In the silken curls,
"Hush !" trembles unconsciously on the
lips of the gazer, for did they speak the
infant slumber would be broken, the Cupid
would awaken. This iepresentation of a
child sleeping is most lifelike and real
'twas born in watchfulness and de
voted study. Beautiful among the
beauties, loveliest of the lovely, is
the "Black-eyed Maul of Cadiz.
"Oft have I dreamed of thee," and '"Tis
a silent joy to think at last I look on
thee !" Bvron said truly that it would al
most "fail painter's power to portray
this form with more than female grace,
or put into features the willful expression
of the Spanish maiden. It is a standing
figure, robed in crimson, and partially en
velotied in black lace. One exquisitely
slender hand lifts the mantilla, and from
beneath its clinging folds the pretty face
looks out. Those smooth, opal-hued,
glistening arms, and faultless neck ; that
soft, velvet skin, with the "golden bloom"
of a fresh peach npon it; the curling
mouth, like a half-opened crimson rose ;
the eloquent eyes; the straight, dark brow
gives us a charming picture, not only a
levival of the nM. dead lieauty of Sara-
grossa, bnt a representation of a living wo
man far away in the "Lone Star State."
Another picture of historic merit will at
tract the visitor, namely: corinne
Crowned at the Capitol." It is the grand
est head in this brilliant galaxy: the ge
nius of melody, of harmony, nay of
music's self, is in every curve, line, light
and shadow of her glorious face. The
conception is transferred from the de
scription given of the wonderful impTovi
satric in the romance of De ' Stael. It
represents the full length-figure of "Co
rinne" as she stands just after the laurel
wreath has been placed upon her brow.
In her right hand she holds a lyre ; the left
falls listlessly by herside.l he picture recalls
the time when in the classic land of Italy,
the land of music and art, this child of
love and genius lived and sung. One
mythological scene graces the group.
"Thetis weeping over the ruins of Troy."
In the foreground, prominent and essen
tial is the figure of Thelis, bowed down
with sorrow, and weeping over the tomb
of her beloved son Achilles. The con
ception is beautiful and the design care
fully executed, the face classic, and the
coloring clear and exquisite. If there is a
fault in its calm, cold, marble-like beauty,
it lies in its unnatural youthfulness; too
fresh nnd young for the mother of so old
a son. In "the distance is burning Troy
the rising flames curling and blazing, the
blue-black smoke ascending, the crumb
ling wall, the lapping waves, white-capped
and foam-crested, the ocean sprays wreath
ing the chariot of the great water god,
Xeptune, form a mighty background, and
throw out in full relief the form of the
weeping woman. This picture, together
with the portrait of Miss Susie Sanders, is
the work of the talented daughter of the
artist. Miss Helen Sanders. Tho chief
charm and perfection of this picture is the
exquisite coloring and artistic ideality.
There is nothing common in outline, or
crude in coloring about them. His faces
are sculptured painting, his figures chis
eled forms, so clear they arc. Ji. b.

Xkw Yohk, May IS, 1K83. I have been
troubled with an irritation of the throat
and a cough for some time. I aui also a
martyr to dyspepsia. By the advice of a
very learned physician I applied two All
cock's 1'orous l'lastors to my chest, and
one on the pit of my storr.ach. In three
days mv cough was cu ml and my tl.rjat
was well. I have now worn the Masters
two weeks, and my appetite and digef
tion have much improved. X am confi
dent that in anotlier week my dystiepsia
I ie entirely removed. I have never used
so pleatant and agreaUe a remedy in my

J.ONnoN, December 24. The Mart Jjane
Esiire, in its weekly review of the grain
trade, says : "All young crops maintain a
strong and healthy appearance. Trade is
overcome by the check that the mild sea
son has given consumption, and there is
httle business, with a tendency to lower
rates. Barley is unchanged. OIF-coast
trade is restricted from lack of supply
which, however, is quite equal to necessi
ties. Four wheat cargoes arrived ; three
were sold, one withdrawn, ami one re
mained. Cargoes on passage are in no
demand; prices nominal, bales of f.nglish
wheat for the week, 07,553 quarters, at 3!)s
2d per quarter, against 45,178 quarters, at
