TOM MAST At HOME.

Mr.. Mitchell was the bearer of a
cordial letter Of thanks from the Re.
publican Congressional Committee to
his friend, Thomas Mast, Of Harper's
for effective and stirring work during
the recent campaign. 1t was at Mr.
MitcheIPs suggestion that the commit
tee determined to introduce Nast's
mastery cartoons into the documents
of the campaign, and the manner in
which they were called for was a snro
evidence Of their convincing and tell
ing power.
Mr.. Mitchell visited Mast at his
pleasant country home in Morristown,
N D., and found him highly elated
over the great victory, and hard at
work III a crushing picture for tho
next issue of Ha7pers.
He is very pleasantly situated in
his elegant home, surrounded by
very Interesting family, having most
estimabIe Yankee girl for a iielpmatc,

dren To brighten his household. His
house is most costly furnished, and
displays high artistic culture in tho
selections and groupings of the vari-
Gus and rich works Of art and orna.
mentation.
In his liblary are many valuable
works, chiefly pertaining to art or
history, giving evidence Of the care
exercise in making selections, as to
the accuracy and value of the matter
between the covers rather than to or.
namentation or glitter of binding.
His portfolios contain many rare aud
exceedingly fine engravings and draw
lngs, embracing different rules and
methods.
Mr.. Mast was highly gratifed at the
contents ot the committees letter, and
with modest pride expressed himself
accordingly. There is very little ro-
nance about this artist. He is man
of practical ideas and clear. .convic.
tlons, an artist of mastery conception
and eXhauStless resource, never acting
without II pure motive His talent il
unpurchasabr. aud it, with his uner-
ring pencil, he hits people who hardly
deserve it, is is because they are in the
way, or in bad company. In matters
of controversy he don't believe an ad-
versary should be handled with gloves,
but rather aggressively; still, always
fairly.
The campaign has been one Of Sc.
we're toll to Mr.. Mast, but the con-
sciousness of being right has given
strength and agility to the artists

THE GREEK BHIGANDS--A WOlIAN,S
STRATAGEH AND IT'S RESULTS.

a story comes from Athens about
Greek brigandage very refreshing to
hnncst people, and suggestive of the
question whether women might not
govern Greece better than its men.
One Of the curses of modern Hellas,
as everyhndy knows, is the unextripat.
ed guild of brigands vino inf st the land,
de!ying the Government, suppres,ing
commerce, demoralizing the peasant
ry and rcbbing and numbering strau-
gers or rich natives. One Of these un.
hanged villains lately captured the
youthful son Of widow woman Of
property, well known upon the border.
The usual message was sent down from
the hills: The brigand chief must
have one tn usand drachmas by
Il certain day, or the life of the boy
he was only twelve years old-would
pay the forfeit. As usual, too, the
last hope which mother would cher
ish in such a frightful position was the
chance of Government help. The
wretched weakness of the administra-
tions which play at "in an out" in
Athens still allow these scoundrels to
hold the roads and passes of the coun,
try, and this poor woman had to trust
tn her own courage and wits. Neither
were wanting; there was me true
old Odyssean blood in her, and she hit
up. n IL plan for saving both her child
and her drachmss She had broth
er, young fellow Of perfect pluck,
though his cheeks were as smooth rs
Delian Apollo's, and him she dressed
up ca efuIly as IL Greek girl, Having
appointed to meet the ro0ber chief in
certain spot. she took up two hum
dred drachmas aud present of cakes
and fruit, the Greek girl" going with
her as II guide" On reach ng the
place they found the scoundrcl waiting
with the captive lad bound hand aud
foot beside him. The woman first as
certained by cunning questions that
the man was really alone, and then
offered, with many suppIications, her
money and the present of cakes and
fruit. The william took the latter and
munched while be counted out the
Grachmas; then, with fearful oath,
he said it was far too little-that she
must go back and send enough to
make up the thousand, or the head
of the lad would be sent down to her
without delay. While the woman
elung supplicating TO his knees, the
Greek girl" suddenly flung grip of
iron round the rnbber's arms, and, us
the fellow was thus piniuued, the out
ragged mother drew loaded pistol aud
shot him dead. The pair lost no time
in liherating the lad, nor did she for
get to cut or aud wrap in IA cloth the
head of the chief" and. as reward
of three thousand drachnas had been
set upon this precious article, they
