Greater facilities for traveling have done much to bring about a cliinige In our little world, and the tendency of onr art la rather toward thn cosmopoli tan tlmn provincial. Naturally, time is required to odneuto the publlo tuste along artistic linos. “I think jieople will buy more pictures when they umleratnnd painting Is not an accomplishment merely a pleasure to the eye, but that it is a part of educa tion, of civilization. It will require time to realize this. Exhibitions ure visited and the majority like to look at pictures with nu admiration ruthur a iheinornl. When the picture la out of ght the impression Is gone. With a general diffusion of art paintings will be bought not sololy because they ap- poal to the senses, to personality, lint for their artistia qualities; not simply , liooauso the subject illustrated le rather a pretty idea, but booanso the work is technically a good art production." Stephen Ferris soldi “The world is full of good plotures to be bought for rea sonable prices, but unfortunately many thousauds of dollars, many fortnnos, ure epont for nonsense, whllo good work re mains unsought and unbought. Com mon sense is happy capital in picture baying as in nay other hnslnoss. One enn hardly provide a set number of rules to bo observed in buying. Many books havo been wrltton on inilitury sclouco, yot tho world has seen comparatively few fiuo generals, Judgment rules tho world, and in picturo buying ono porsou is tnoro successful than another because a spirit of superior intelligence dictates his purohaeo.!." Thomas Bakins would liko to have people buy pictures that please them and appeal to their taste. “Tho major ity are afraid to buy wlmt they like; they must have some one elso’e advice. Woll, tf they start with bad art, por- hapa before lolig thoy will come to tho good. Let people buy wlmt thoy want." “1 have not thought muoli ubout buy ing pictures," snid Mr. Frederick Wnngli, "We artists ure more uhiotly concerned In trying to soil them.

The Luxembourg and the Louvre are filled permanently with the master pieces of all ages, the best that have been done. There, too, the spirit of onion is Btrong among artists. They gather together aud talk of everything pertaining to the art world, consequent ly they live entirely In a congenial cli mate and they grow and develop in nu essentially art atmosphere. Impression ism? Yes, this is the great word nowa days. Many have an ides that it is a synonym for vaguely treated and par tially unfinished pictures. Impression ism claims to record facts as observed by the artist. Sincerity to nature is its aim. After all, there is nothing so beautiful as troth, and the nearer we get to it, as we find it in nature, the better artists we are.” “Many Americans buy pictures," Mr. F. de B. Richards responded, “because they have accumulated money, and pictures are the proper thing to have. Generally they know very little about it, and a dealer does the work for them. If people purchase pictures to flatter their vanity, let them spend big sums and buy high priced pictures. If they buy for pleasure, let them buy what in-, lerests (hem. 1 remember meeting Ed win Forrest after a sale. ‘I’ve bought a picture,' said he. ‘They told me not to do It, ljecanse very likely it is not origi nal. But it pleases me, and 1 should buy it if it were by somebody 1 never beard tell of.' A picture pleasing to the eye 1s a source of education for the time being at least. Adverse criticism may- lead a man to scrutinize it and stndy it more closely than if he had bought one be did not like half so well." “I think I should he Inclined to bay what I liked personally,” was the opin ion of Edwin Swift Batch, “not forget ting that the pictorial qualities should not be lost sight of in the desire to get a pleasing subject.

An English Convict Ran Across n Work on Chemistry Which Gave Him Ideas. Good and expensive scientific works are to lie found in a prison library, and the perusal by illiterate men, as tho bulk of convicts may be said to be, leads very often to strange and curious rciiults that aptly illustrate the truth uf the poet's axiom of a little knowledge being a dangerous dfing. I had occasion once to entei prisoner's cell and search it in his presence. To my surprise I found the man's library hook was a large and excellent work on chemistry. The convict was extremely ignorant, and quite incapable of reading in telligently so abstruse a work. "Have you rend this book?" I in quired of him. “Ycssir, I’ave,”he replied proudly. “And what were you reading about last, Jones?" “About hair, guv'nor.” "Well, what does the author say about hair?” “Ho says as 'ow hair is composed of two kiuds of gin.” “Gin!" I exclaimed in amazement at this astounding statement. "Well, Jones," I continued, "that fully ac counts for the authorities keeping your liair closely cropped.” “The hair I'm a-talkln about," Jones lucidly explained, “is not tho 'air ov tho 'end, but the hair wo breathe. You bloomin screws,” he added, "think yer know hev'rythink, hut when it comes to the p'int yer don't know nothink." "Go on, Jones," I said, highly unused, “What about the gin?" “Hatmospheric hair," Jones pro ceeded, dogmatically, “is composed of two kinds of gin—hoxygin and nitrogin. Now listen, guv’nor, and learn something useful to teach yer kids, Hoxygin is a much stronger and moro intoxicntln spirit than ni trogin; so much so, in fact, that nachure makes use of the bloomin nitrogin to dilute the bloomin hoxy gin." "I think, Jones,” I said, preparing to leave the cell, "you lincl bettor read your chemistry over again be fore airing your scientific knowl edge." "It’s my private ’pinion," Jones re marked sagely, “that them 'ero scientific toffs hlndulge in a glass or two of that- most intoxicatin hoxygin now and ngen; and that’s what makes ’em so bloomin clever."— London Tit-Bits, Ilooksolllng Is llimlness. Tho publisher anxiously awaits the literary wares whioli will satisfy tho demand of the moment. It is by selling them that he lives, and con sequently he wishes to buy them. But still he will buy them on the lowest terms possible, in order to make the highest profit, for he is a merchant. The histories and novels, the epics and lyrics, tho essays and philosophical uystems, are merchan dise. If l’lato and Shakespeare are famous, their fame alone makes their moi'chimdlso merchantable. But if they uro unknown, the marketable value of their merchandise must he tested by the current public taste. Con we fairly select one class of traders and insist that they shall he philanthropists? ' Dealers in chinaware, for instance, may we justly require that they shall buy at tho highest prices all the howls wo paint, or offer them on commission, and pay us large annual profits because docalcomaiiia is an art so olovatlng and rofined and most of the artists are so poor?— Georgo William Curtis in Harper’s, The Jupautie Hell. The Japanese language ha! no equivalent for our word “hell.” but has the word "jigoku" instead. ,Ti- goku consists of, first, eight immense hot hells, ranging one beneath the other in tiers.

Few Aeeldenta on English Railways. The Englishman who, following Charles Francis Adams, declared that the safest place in which to spend an hour or two is an express train on one of the main railways, has had hia idea confirmed by the fact that last year only five passengers were killed on all the railways of the United Kingdom, where as in the streets of the metropolis alone 147 deaths and 5,784 personal injuries resulted from accidental circumstances connected with the vehicular traffic.— Boston Transcript. Paleface Grooms Wanted. In the Indian camp on the Grand Rondo river are seventeen marriageable Indian girls, some of whom want white men for husbands and shun the idea of marrying one of their own race. The father of one of these girls offers an in ducement of 200 head of good horses to some young white man who will marry his daughter. The old Indian states he must be a young man of good char acter and address and able to provide his wife a good home.—Asotin (Wash.) Sentinel. EROS COMES TO STAY. Once a fowler, young and artless.

A London insurance titan said yes terday: "We have in London one of the most unique newspapers in tho world; for, while it is published every day in the year except Sun days, a copy of it is never sold or circulated. The Evening'Telegraph of London is issued each afternoon from the office of The Daily Tele graph, which paper is a morning daily issued bIx times a week, and has tho largest circulation of any paper in England, and with one ex ception, the largest in the world. "The proprietors of The Daily Telegraph, in printing the evening edition, which is copyrighted, do so merely in order to protect them selves in the right to tho ubo of the name in case they ever care to issue an evening edition, and also to pre vent any ono eke from starting such a sheet and gaining the great advan tage which the use of the title, Even ing Telegraph, would give."—Phila delphia Record.

There will be ou view in the after noons of tho next few (leys wlmt may probably witliont any exaggeration be called the finest Persian carpet in the world. This is the Holy Carpet of the Mosque ofArdebil in Persia—a carpot which for size, beauty, condition aud authenticated age 1b entirely unrivaled by any known example. Tho dimensions of the carpet are 84 . feet 6 inches by 17 feet 6 inches. The ground of the body of tho fabric is of a rich bine, covered with a floral trneery of exquisite delicacy and freedom of treatment. A center mednlllnn of pulo yellow terminates on ita onter edge In sixteen minaret shaped points, from which spring sixteen cartouches—font green, four rod and eight cream; and from two of these again are, as it were, suspended and hanging in the direction of tlje respective ends of the carpet, two of the sacred lamps of the mosque. But the most extraordinary dotnil of all la the pale oreom cartouche placed within the border at the top end of the carpet, bearing ita inwoven inscription, whioli is thns translated; “I have no refuge in the world other than thy threshold. My head has no protection other than thy porchway. The work of the slave of this Holy Place, Muksond of Kashan, in the year 043.” Now 043 of the Hegira is 1533 of our era; so that the carpet was actually in existence, in the mosque of the sacred city of the Suffavian dynasty, at the time when Queen Elizabeth sent An thony Jenkinson on an embassy to Shah Tamasp. It need not be said that carpets thns signed and dated are extremely rare, and are historically important as forming the points de repere for the students of oriental art.—London Times. The Chiosgo.Falr Is going to be the largest representation of fine arts and national trades displays the world has ever seen. The projeot Is one of the most enormous ever put on foot, and its success will redound more to the honor and oredlt of the American people than any other enterprise which has ever been put on foot within the States. The Fair will cost over 332,000,000, more than twice as much as expended upon nny other Exposition the world has ever seen. Every branch of every line of American industry and art will present a full and artistic display, in which nearly all the nations of the earth will present national displays in chargeof natives in costume. In other words, small parts ofjevery nation will be transplanted to America to interest and Instruct Americans. Only about half of the necessary capital has been raised. Congress has before It n $5,000,000 appropriation, which would be more in the nature of a loan tlmn anything else, ns prollts on the Fair will enable the directors to reimburse nil subscribers, and yet there Is great opposition, especially on the part of Southern Congressmen, to the appropriation being made. By all means, extend fills aid to the World's Fair at a time when It is so muoh needed.

The Largest Aerolite. What is believed to be the largest aerolite ever known to have fallen is ly ing in the Caspian sea, a short dis tance from the peninsula of Apsheron. The aerolite made a terrific noise as it rushed through the air with incredible speed, and the white hot mass made a light that illmninated the country and sen about for a great distance. Those who saw it were were struck dumb with consternation. When it struck the water immense clonds of steam arose, and the hissing could be heard fora great distance. Huge masses of water were thrown upward, and the sight to those who were not frightened was a most beautiful one. So enormous is the aerolite that it projects twelve feet above the water, and save for its fused black crust, which gives it the appearance of having been varnished, it has every appearance of be ing one of the usual rocky formations met with along the coast. Scientists are deeply interested in the phenomenon, and a number of them are making preparations to visit the peninsula to examine the aerolite,—Cable Letter. i COI.DMRIAN EXPOSITION. 1VJE 0O WOT tVAWT TUB 111!Pl'H- 1,1 CAN MACHINE. The Constitution, which Imd an in terview with Capt. Hobbs, through Frank Stanton, who was at Cumber land a day or two ago, compliments the gallant old Roman highly ns fol lows : “Chairman Hobbs, ol the Democratic Executive Committee In Dougherty, is one of your strong-willed, uncompro mising Democrats. An old soldier, who left a limb In the war, he is a hero amongthe veterans of the Confederacy wherever he Is known; and since the war he has done great service to the State in the Democratic ranks. Jlr. Hobbs Is a genial gentleman, a man of strong physique and personal magnet ism. mid Is,always ready to talk poli tics from a Democratic standpoint. In answer to a question: ‘What is the outlook for the Democrats In the Sec ond district?’ he said, n few days since; ‘It will take hard flghtln g to whip the fight, but we have been fighting hard all along, and will continue on tlint line! Ben Russell lias been a power for good In.our,district; he has worked day and night for the success of Democ racy, und the people will stand to him limn for man. lV’e are going to whip the enemy.” 1 An article from Washington which reviews the rccqrd of the People’s Party candidate, makes some startling disclosures in regard to the blackness of that gentleman’s record. He intro duced, in two Congresses, a bill to pay Union soldiers the difference between the depreciated currency paid them fur pensions, and gold. Quotations from his speeches made In Congress show him to be a South-lmter of 'the Billy Chandler order, and he took every occasion to vaunt the bloody shirt before those upon whom lie de lighted to cast Ills bitter aspersions, Not only that, but he has denounced Democracy, in unmistakable terms, as a “hungry, rebellious, man-hating, woman-selling gang,” nnd other terms as hateful to true South ern manhood. In the face of all this we do not believe It possible for men to leavo the Democratic party, whatever their hostility to some few of Its principles to support a black guard and a ruffian. Nor even do we understand how a man with true Southern Instincts can offer their sup port to a political demagogue nnd turncoat who so thoroughly hates and despises the loyal section which they represent. We are glad he has been shown up In hts true colors. It still further strengthens the solid old De mocracy of the South. Everybody Vies Tobacco In India.

The most splendid political machine the country lias ever known is named the Republican party. Arising In an emergency In one section in behalf of a cause ohamploned by some of the ablest of American statesmen, with followers whose zeal and honesty nnd intelligence could not well he ques tioned, after a life of thirty years it merely merits the encomium pf being a splendid machine. The name of party nnd the claim of principles Is simply an error. Confronting this machine Is n party which, whatever its mistakes, has ever been true to Demo cratic principles—a party of the Union, which, when the Union divided, of course found itself divided. This which is cast upon it ns a shame is upon its escutcheon an honor. It was a party of the whole country, and when the country divided the party divided, nnd when the country united the party united. The Episcopal church was united throughout the country, nml when the country divided the Episcopal church divided, and when tlie country united the Episco pal church united. Was that bit of history nny stigma upon the Episco pal church? That Democrats fought valiantly on both sides proves that there was Democracy on both sides, and tlie malicious cunning of Repub lican journals nnd platforms that cre ated a prejudice against the Demo cratic party North because of the course of tlie Southern people, many of whom were Democrats, is an illus tration of n remorseless machine rather tlmn a patriotic party of the Republic. For twenty-five years the so-called Republican party 1ms lived for itself— for the profit and prejudice of Its man agers. There lias been little legisla tion called party legislation that the country would not have been better off without. It 1ms descended, from a party of public-spirited, pure-minded, even though fanatical members, to merely a machine for keeping hot sec tlonal animosities and for rewarding its followers with the spoils of victory FOr twenty-five years it has imd no higher nlm than to abuse nnd villlfy a conquered people. It has used every art nnd skill to misrepresent them at home nnd abroad. It Ims done every thing possible to stigmatize the silent dend, who nobly died in vnin. There is in history no worse record of mean ness-party meanness. Looking over the legislation of tile Republican ma chine lor a quarter of a century, and it lncks the stamp of conservative patriotism. It is now a merely lifer cenary organization, living upon the vnior of tlie past, and addressing itself to old prejudices and to the most selfish interests of one clnss of tile people. The leaders of the Republican party to-day, as a class, are far inferior to those Who founded nml swayed the party thirty years ago. Compared (o tlie Democratic party as to age, it is n youngster, Uut it was once robust and grand, and now seems, in Its earlier attributes, to have largely gone to seed. It has no longer the vigor of its youth, but that of mere party greed, oliiceholdiiigand personal aggrandize ment. Tlie Third Party movement, in every guise, is keeping this political waif to retain power it holds only to abuse. Tlie Third Party movement in the South cannot be in harmony with Southern interests, hut must be a dls- regarder of the South’s best interests. We do not want the Republican ma chine over us locally in the South. We do not want it to legislate for us at Washington.. We do not want it in the White House. Dkmocrat.
