The following from one of Prof. Ruskin

The following from one of Prof. Ruskin's
late lectures on Art, at Oxford. reads
very Ruskinish: -.
iArt gives form to knowledge. grace to
utility. In architecture there should be
three things-sklll, beauty, and use. All
true art is now dead. The nineteenth cen
tury has a material people who fancy that
they can do everything by mere grinding;
they think photograph as good as a pic
ture, cast iron as good as sculpture. but
nothing comes from grinding but mere
dust. Manufactures created by fire must
be reduced to the smallest extent. There
must be no iron where stone and wood
will do. Fine art is not to be learned by
locomotion, competition OF exhibition;
but by doing what is right and what is
honest. Though England resounds with
the buzzing Of spinning wheels. people
live unclothed. Though England is black
with the digging oil fuel. people die OF
cold; though England has sold her soul
for commerce, people die of hunger. All
this must be remedied.'

The Illinois, Constitutional Convention
which recently adjourned provided plan
for, minority, representation as an expert
ment. The. Constitution viii be submitted
to the popular vote for adoption OF re-
lection on the first Saturday in july. N
The experiment is restrictedsto the cleo |
tioIoftheS House Of Representatives the
Senate being chosen as before. From
each senatorial district three representa-
tives will be elected and each qualified
Voter may distribute his three votes as he
pleases among the candidates; one vote
for each of three men or three votes for
one man, = or one and a half votes for each
of two. This system says the Tribune,
will secure approximate fairness of rep
resentation for all parties. In Northern
Illinois the Republicans, under the pres
ent system, secure almost the entire rep
resentation, while the Democracy have
the same preponderance in Southern Hi
nois. OF Egypt. The minorities will have,
under the new system, a fair representa-
ton, as In each district where they are in
minority ofsnot less than one to three
they can, hy Concentration. elect one can
d.date. Thus representation will be equal
lied throughout the State. The majority
will still rule, but the minorities in diff
ferent sections will not, as now, be with
out voice in legislation. In addition to
the better adjustment of representation,
this plan will result in II fairer division of
representation among parties, taking the
State as whole. and such anomalies are
not likely to occur as recently happened in
Connecticut, where the total vote of the
State has gone Democratic, while the Leg
islature remains Republican,, In the con-
sideration Of minority representation, it is
pretty evident that the minority in State
will favor its adoption for seli-interest, if
forna other reason, while the fairer
minded OF the majority will do the same
from regard for justice. Iii highly prob

The Baths.
AS every one anticipated who had been inter-
ested enough in the subject to bestow thoug ght
upon it at all, the public baths are grand ssuc-
cess. There are accommodations at present for
only ten hundred ut any one time, but if there
were facilities for twenty times that number
they would all be made use of. 1t is calculated
that no less than five thousand availed them
selves of the luxury on Thursday. Yesterday
was the womens day, and the attendance of fe.
males of every age was hardly less large than
that of the men. Mr. Tweed himself visited the
baths on Thursday, aud viewed his own handi-
work with evident pleasure
Apropos of Mr.. Tweed,

Works, he is an extremely overworked, harassed,
and successful man. True, his hours are only
from nine to three, but into those hours is COM
pressed enough worriment to last most men a
lifetime. To see him is next to an impossi-
bility. His doors are constantly beset by one
or two thousand applicants, all clamoring for
positions; and of this number, perhaps, he sees
ten in the course of the day, His clerks will not
even take him a card or note that is not accom-
panied with very cogent reasons for its deli

his old friends who are less successful than him.

1t is the vital principle OF the Pine Tree, obtained

First. 1t cures-not by stopping coughs, but by
oosening and assisting nature to throw OF the un-
healthy matter collected about the throat and bron-
chial tubes, causing irritation and cough.
Second. Most throat and lung remedies are COM
posed of anodynes, which alay the cough for awhile
but by their constrDgent effects the nbres become
hardened, and the unhealthy nuids coagulate and
are retained in the system, causing disease beyond
the control OF our most eminent physicians.

The Last Of Lopez.

The n. Y. Tribune gives some
particulars of the close Of the long
and sanguinary conflict between
Paraguay on the ono side, and
Brazil and the Argentine Confed-
Grafton on the other:
The Tribune's letter says that
carly On the morning of the 1st of
March, Lopez, with 1000 men, was
surprised by a Brazilian force of
the same size while encamped on
the left bank of the Aauidaran
stream, twenty miles to the south
Of Apa, and like the latter tribu-
tary OF the Paraguay. The Aqui-
daran River is the same as the
Alquid@vanigee traced on the map
of the north part of Paraguay.
North Of the position where Lopez
fought his last battle is the town
Of San Salvador, and south that Of
Conception. The attacking force,
commanded by General Camara,
was the same which set out from
Conception on or about February
10th to overtake Lopez upon the
,ceipt Of the news that the dicta-
tor had already crossed the Apa
and was hurrying his fight to Bo-
livia.
sudden andinpstuous was the
attack Of the Brazilians that the
Paraguayans who guarded the ar
tillery had no tine to give the
