ARTICULATION.
By Tie Governor !:

Bv the common consent Of the loyal and
patriotic people OF the United States, the 30th
day Of May has Deen set apart for the decora-
ton of the graves Of the defenders of the
Republic who laid down their lives in the late
war. The sentiment which demands this Oh
servance is OF the noblest and purest charac-
ter, and the usage of scattering flowers upon
the graves Of those who fell in thdr country S
defense is of ancient origin.
BY strcwing flowers upon the dead hcro's
grave, we honor his memory and the cause in
which he fell, and ut the same time dedicate
ourselves anew To our country.
| respectfully recommend that all patriotic
citizens on that day join in this ceremony. Let
II not be an occasion for the revival Of section
III aniinosities and bitter rccollections, but
rather as indicating our desire for reconcilia-
ton with The living and love and gratitude to
the dead.
In those places where there are posts OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, that organiza-
ton will take charge of the ceremonies; but
where there are no such posts it Is hoped that
the survivors of the late war will unite In do
ing honor 10 their dead comrades, with whom
Oil are invited to join.
IL testimony whereof, have hercunto sub
scrbed my name and caused the
(Seal) Great Seal of the State to ne affixed.
Done at the Capitol, i'll Madison,
this 9Th day of May, A. D. 1878.

A CORRESPONDENT Of TIL Boston Globe
who travelled across the ocean with Mast
the caricaturist, e YES a very graphic de-
scription of the man who has built up a
name in such an Incredible short space
of time. Among other characteristics
he says that Mast has rather IA sad than
a sunny temperament, and that his hu
NOR is always subordinate to his common
sense. His success has been as much
owing to his intense sincerity as to his
genius. lie is a perfect Halter Of shams
and his art being built upon truth to
nature, is sure to last Although pressed
to remain in the United States by many
offers, he has been forced to seek IA shore
where art of the higher class is better
appreciated than with us, and remuner-
alton proportionally liberal
Every one is familiar with the pow er
which the drawings of Mast exerted in
the last campaign, aud many people will
be surprised to learn that his share of
the spoils was only fame and thorough
ly worn constitution. lie drew the work
which set the table in roar, while the
publishers and politicians drew the pay.
There is something wrong about ali this
We are crying out for talent; we want
illustrated papers; we fret because we
find such great superiority iii the wood :
cuts of our Transatlantic friends we
throw away thousands of dollars on
greedy continental cOrmorants we see
our substance eat up by unscrupuIous
politicians, yet We allow our artist fitted
to be the peer Of all, to seek the shores
of another land where, in all probability,
he will shortly be on the road to fortune.
We give him fame enough and vet are
too shert-sighted, or too thoughtiess, or
something, to give him more substan-
tial reward. The real truth is, we dc
not value art as it should be valued Tn G
majority of our people, regard it as a
sort OF unmarketable, unmerchantile com-
modify, which they like to have, without
perhaps, stopping to consider that an
artist has to live, and that although he
may not operate in stocks, or gold, OF
grain, yet he operates on that which is
the stock in trade awarded him-his
brains. They who dance must pay the
piper and IT is with the sincere desire
that our national honor as people oil
taste, which we certainly desire to be
should be supported, and with extreme
regret at seeing our best Illustrated pa.
pers copied plecemeal from the journal

countries, that we urge upon those in
whose hands the profession now exists
to offer higher prizes for artistic talent
and to make our enterprise in that de-
rartment equal at least the celebrity
which our strides in the matters Of news
and telegraphy have gained for Us in the
world of Journalism

A CRISIS in Trxncc-ThfCrs Resigns.

A change has taken place in the French
administration. Theirs and his ministry,
after an exciting debate in the Assembly,
on Saturday, were outvoted by some Is
majority, and resigned. Gen. Mcmahon
has been chosen provisional President
This crisis in the affairs of the nation
has been brought about by a union of
the Monarchists, lmperialists and cons
sentative elements generally. azaints the
President. Theirs appointed some new
Ministers to the Cabinet, who were I'M
satisfactory 10 the Right or conservative
faction; they presented an Interpolation,
demanding explanations, and asking for
a thoroughly conservative Ministry; a
debate on the subject occupied Friday
and Saturday the President obtained a
hearing only with great difficulty, and
urged the definite establishment of
the Republic; and finally the inter-
pellation of the Right was adopted by a
vote of 500 to 344 and Theirs and his
Cabinet resigned.
What the result will be, no man can
predict The placing of Cen. Mcmahon,
who was an earnest supporter OF the
Empire in the Presidency, i. a reaction
airy step which may lead to the restora-
t;op Of thu ErnDire or Orleans Monarchy
or it may precjpitate a radical Republic.
