The Savior and His Carpenter Shop.


Much has been said in America about
Mr.. Holman Hunts " miraculous" pic
ture of the 60 Shadow of DEATH" and ii
has been praised as a revelation of new
capacities in art. I saw a solemn per
son on the street with an advertisement
on his back telling where the picture
was to be seen, and a shilling passed me
into the solemn show. A moro absurd
picture was never painted. The partic-
ular pretension of this picture is its
literalness, but the litter of shavings on
the floor of the Savior's carpenter shop
seems to account fully and exclusively
for that. The "ShadoW of Death
could not fall across the light OF the
window as represented. Such a jewel
box as Mary, the mother, is looking into
vas never seen in carpenter shop.
Such silken drapery as Is trailed among
the shavings was always impossible IN
an association like that, and the Young
Carpenter, the Christ of the piece, is
the funniest fellow L have ever seen in
a picture. His only garment Is what
the Indians call breech-clout. 1t has
the advantage of being a fine article of
figured silk, and though the Savior has
been toiIing with plane and saw, and is
in the act of throwing up his hands with
a sense of relief, having accomplished
his days work and earned his bread in
the sweat of his face, there is no trace
of possible perspiration. Mr.. Hunts
Savior has a finely developed Jewish
nose. which Is all well, no doubt ; but
his hair seems a shade too yellow, and
his eyes a degree too blue for one of the
young men of the place and period
and we have to account for those hues
by considering his complexion, which
is a fine, bright copper color, producing
a most grotesqUe effect. If 1t is the OBJ
ject of art to make Christ ridiculous,
Mr.. Hunt should step to the 'front.'

The Plaques Of the Southern Planters.

And now, with his accustomed Tegu-
Iaritv, comes the boil worm IN some
parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Lou
isiana. The boil worm Is no stranger.
He is an annual visitor, but this season
he is later than usual. Fortunately its
rayages are confined to comparatively
limited areas, and seldom extend be-
voDd the immediate neighborhood of its
birth. the worm not being migratory IN
itshabits, It's destrUctivenessis as great,
however. as that of the caterpillar, as it
attacks the exterior of the boil and bores
entirely through, completely destroying
the fibre, cselyx, etc. Last year the IN
sect ravaged Upson, Marion, Twiggs,
Stewart, Coweta, Calhoun, McDufie,
Butts, Baldwin and Heard counties,
Georgia, destroying the cotton crops
and inficting much pecuniary loss upon
the planters there but on this occasion
this year Georgia is spared. The cater
pillar, however, Is said to have put IN an
appearance in some of the counties OF
that State, but we do not learn that
they have done a great deal OF damage
as vet. It is sad to reflect that nothing
has vet been discovered that will prevent
the ravaoes of the boil worm and cater

lost. and hundreds of men bankrupted

WEST DUMMERsToN.-A difficult
piece of work has just been accomplish.
ed here by Frederick Hawks of Green
field, Mass, assisted by Peter Stickney
of this place. A lattice bridge built in
1870, exposed to the strong northwest
wind, had been bent down stream so that
it was plainly preceptible at either end,
and the top above the abutments and
piers was considerably swayed from the
perpendicular. The bent cor is were
brought back into straight line, and
firmly stayed by the use of Laterals
on the Home plan" The top was brought
into perpendicular position and firmly
anchored to the abutments and pier by
iron rods. The manner in which the
laterals that were to hold the chords in
their true position were made to straight
en- the curving chords, acting as knee
joint lever, was triumph of engineering
skill.
