three-fourths of the water route. The island
folks, seeing this advantage, arc subscribing to
its stock. Even the Edgarton people, as we'll as
the Oak Bluff corporation, are taking stock in
it, and this branch which is of so much conse

lage has been projected less than a year, and
sides Towers hotel, which has already good
patronage from his Worcester friends.
This place lacked the starting nucleus and the
ready completed organization by which the
camp meeting association had prepared the way
for the Oak Bluff corporation, but in highlands
of its enterprising managers it has, in the time
they have been at work, already outstripped all
other like enterprises, and appears destined to
be very popular and successful operation.
The lots here are laid out large and so are more
desirable than the Oak Bluff lots, where many
are buying one and half and some two lots TO
secure ample ground room. The camp ground
fails in this point. The cottages are packed too
closely together for pleasure, comfort or health,
and need to be thinned ont. If two-thirds, at
least, could be taken away and spread on the
highlands it would be a very decided advan-
tage. But then the gregarious tendencies of
the MethOdsts are such that they seem to en-
joy getting closely together as possible, even in
hot weather, packing into this camp ground,
like behring's in a box, that they probably
will not heed this valuable advice. II.

We expect TO hear before long of an aSsocia-
ton of American artists for protection against
that terrible "Chinese cheap labor" which, in
one shape or another, is continually turning up
TO take the bread out of the mouths of Ameri-
can citizens. 1t seems that Chinese artists in
their native country, are doing considerable
business in portraits for California aud Oregon
people. They paint from photographs forward
ed to China for that purpose by Chinese bust
ness house in San Francisco. The Walla-Walla
Statesman, journal published in a town of
that name in Washington territory, says quite
a trade has sprung up between China and this
coast in the line of pictures" and mentions one
gentleman who has just received portraits of
his father and mother, painted in oil cOlors and
excellent likenesses Of the originals. 1t adds
that the paintings and frames cost in China
S16.5O each, and the expense for commits
sions and transportation was three dol
lars. These portraits, we are assured,
if painted by an American artist, would
have been cheap at 5000. Clearly, this
competition with the meritorious artists of our
own country cannot be allowed 10 continue We
might look at it with indifference if the paint
ings were daubs; but we are told on the same
excellent authority we have before quoted, that
they are executed in the highest style of art"
High art for s16.5O! Painting, we have been
led to believe by our too credulous countrymen,
is a game that the heather Chinee does not I'M
derstand, and under cover of this pretended
ignorance he has treacherously set about the
work of supplanting American artists. Meas
ures should at once be taken to restrict his pic
torial efforts to the delineation of those hfe-ke
and graceful figures on fans and porcelain with
which we are SO familiar, and leave the field of
high art to painters Of the Caucasian race

nine lives, are not likely to interfere with the
success of the cat show. There is no cater

could have wished that it had been open, not for
one day, but for many. The judges were the

The somewhat notorious Henry NJ. Payne,
after a considerable period of obscurty, again
invites the public attention. He has been unde-
srably conspicuous once or twice before; first as
the alleged object of persecution by mysteri-
Gus enemy, who used to shoot at him assduOus-
ly with an air gun, according TO Mr.. Payne's ac-
count, but failed to do him any injury. Mr..
Payne next attracted notice by claiming to have
discovered a method by which water could be
cheaply resolved into its constituent gases and
the hydrogen probably used as an illuminating
agent, beng made highly luminous by simple
contact with terpentine without any pre-
ceptible loss Of the terpentine. This pre.
tended discovery imposed upon good many
people, but it never was turned to any practical
use. He now claims to have discovered that a
galvanic battery of a single cell can be made tn
develope an amount of motive power which. ;f
not indefinite, is at least thousands of times
more than was before supposed possible. On
this subject he writes as follows to the Scientific
American

operation for eight months running nine hours
