The Savior aud His Carpenter Shop.


Much has been said in America about
Mr.. Holman Hunts miraculous pic.
tire of the Shadow of Death" and it
has been praised as a reyel.tiou of new
capacities in art. l saw a solemn per
son on the street with an advertisement
Oh his back telling where the picture
was to be seen, and a shilling passed me
into the solemn show. A more 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 Saviors 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
was nevel seen in a carpenter shop.
Such silken drapery as is trailed among
the shayings was always impossible in
an association like that, and the Young
Carpenter, the Christ of the piece, is
the funniest fellow / have ever seen il
picture. His only garment is what
the Indians call breech.clout. It has
the advantage of being fine article of
figured silk, and though the Savior has
been toiling 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 it is the OBJ
iect of art to make Christ ridiculous,
Mr.. Hunt should step to the 'front.'

out in this partial manner, one day not

scientific explanation of why it was,
arguing with great lucidness, and citing
various authorities to show the correct
ness of his reasoning. When he had
finished, the student said to him, "No,

PERHAPS love is never so potent as
when it seizes upon those who have
passed the prime of life. The choice
made is then likely to be thoroughly
suited to the nature Of the man; and
any intellectual gifts on the part Of the
woman are likely to be more attractive
to man of this age than to a younger
person. Besides, there is feeling that
as life is not likely to be very long, this

The Plaques of the Southern Planters.

And now, with his accustomed regu.
laritv, comes the boil worm in some
parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Lou.
isiana. The boil worm is uo stranger.
He is an annual visitor, but this season
he is later than usual. Fortunately its
ravages are confined to comparatively
limited areas, and seldom extend be
yond the immediate neighborhood of its
birth, the worm not being migratory in
its shabits. Its destructivenessis is as great,
however, as that of the caterpillar, as it
attacks the exterior of the boil and bores
entirely through, completely destroying
the fibre, celyx, etc. Last year the in
sect ravaged Upson, Marion, Twiggs,
Stewart, Coweta, Calhoun, McDutie,
Butts, Baldwin and Heard counties,
Georgia, destroying the cotton crops
aud inAicting 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 yet. 1t is sad to reflect that nothing
has yet been discovered that will prevent
the ravages of the boil worm and cater
pillar. Millions Of dollars have been
lost, and hundreds of men bankrupted
by these pests; but, excepting empiri-
cal "destroyers, nothing has been dis.
covered that will enable the planter to
get rid of them. .-Nsp York Bulletin.

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PRoPERTY-LOsS OF

CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. 29.-The most fearful
gale in this city since 1854 occurred to-day, be-
ginning about daylight with a strong southeast
vino, and increasing in violence until o'clock,
when il had become a hurricane. The tide was
forced up to an unprecedented height, inundat-
ing the entire river front of the city, damaging
the wharves, and IN some in
stances sweeping away pier heads. The
long stone sea wall known as
the battery, famous promenade resort, was
laid in ruins ard the public bathing house was
demolished The shipping generally escaped
serious damage. Some small crafts wers wreck
ed, but the large vessels were only chafed
Throughout the city fences and oulbuildings
were destroyed, branches torn from trees, and
during the height of the storm the air
was filled with slates and tin stripped
from the roof, making the streets impassa-

theater which had just been completed with the
exception OF putting on a roof, and from its po-.

street. About noon the wind shifted TO the
west, moderating the violence of the sea, and it
is hoped that the worst is over. T NO houses are
