Virgil Williams, the artist, is arriv.
ed in town. Visitors to the art gallery
1t Woodward's Gardens will regard
his advent with some apprehension.
And So. for that matter, will visitors
at the Fair; the few weeks of the ex.
hition will be amply sufficient for this
gentleman to KIN. ok Oft half acre of
landscape TO afilict us. He possesses
some merit as an artist, but il is hard
to tell whether il lies in landscape or
marine painting; you never can tell
his cows from his ships, except when
they have their tails exalted. when the
abscene of spars betrays their charac-
ter. Even then they may be mistaken
for schoone.s seudding under bare
poles.
"The Princess Louisa is put DOWNS
a scold. aud she and her mother have
had many a conflict. She was mar
ried to the Marquis in order to give
her home elsewhere, aud they have
quarreled every day since" When
we see newspaper with this para
graph in it, we feel that its editor is
one of Natures noblemen one who
can nev.r, no Rerer, be bought by
British gold, nor silenced by British
bayonets l--one who will submit to he
torn in pieces before he will bow down
to the tyrants of Europe l-one who
will speak his mind if it overturns
every tottering throne in the Old
World, and hurls every crumbing dy-
nasty into everlasting oblivion! At
present we are feeling that way toward
the editor of the Call.
A physician in Kansas is entitled to
honorable mention for personal clean
llness. The other evening he took a
razor and made an excavation in the
neck of his little girl. He then treat
ed his wife the same way. These died.
Our h,ro then obtained large pan,
set it on the floor, lay down with his
head in it and sawed asunder all that
he could get at in his own neck. The
pan caught all the blood, aud both the
floor and his raiment were unsullied.
The body is said to have had the clean
transparency of very young veal, but
the head having Topped down into the
pan was considerably gummed up. We
recommend in all similar cases the nse
of small rack to sustain the pate
when its guys and stays have been cut
away.
For the memory of the late John
Ridd. of Illinois, we entertain the
liveliest contempt. Mr.. Ridd recent.
ly dispatched himself with a frearm
for the following reasons, set forth in a
letter that he left behind: "Two years
ago | discovered that was worthless
My great failings are insincerity OF
character and sly ugliness. Any one
who watched me a little while would
discover my unenvIable nature" Now
it is not that Mr.. Ridd was worthless
that we hold his memory in reproha-
tim nor that he was insincere, nor
sly, nor ugly. 1t is because possessing
these qualities he was fool enough to
think they disqualified him for the
duties of life, nr stood in the way Of
his being an ornament to society and
an honor to his country. That's What
makes us despise him.
The women teachers in our High
Schools have had the superhuman
audacity to petition for an ineerease
uf salary sufficient to make their re
muneration equal to that of men per
forming the same labor. We do moi
envy the mental condition of these
teachers yet to learn that they are fe
male in sex. Are they blind to the
fact that their stature is considerably
less than ours, and their muscles, as d
rule, not so largely developed; thai
, they are beardless, and wear their hail
long; that their flesh is soft, and in
many cases even fabby? Let then
!, once realize these and all kindred
, anatomical differences, and then dare
to assert that persons who are essential
, nj unlike should be equal in salary
The petition is prepo:terous, and Sc
r are they. They might as well try tC
draw out Leviathan with a hook, ol
! bind Arcturus and his sons, as con
vince an enlightened Board of educa
tional males that there is any sense il
