Edmund About, writing from Paris to the
London AthenGum, has the following about a
great artist: You know Dore. He is at least as
popular in London III Paris. To me- who
have never lost sight of MIN since he was scrawI-
ing his first sketches on exercise books at the
College Charlemagne, his illustrations of Spain
seem among his best productions among those
in which he Is absolutely himself. 1t has been
at once the good and the evil fortune of this
was stilt en- rhetoriQne when PhilpOn, the pub
Usher, brought out his first work. an album of
caricatures Of the labors of Hercules. The
public found in 1t such cieverness such good
humor, and such astonishing facility with the
pencil, that they adopted the chid-and one
saw, incredible prodigy, an artist of seventeen
debut Dore had nothing but success, and sue
cess of more than one sort, for nature has been
bountitul to him. He played the violin like a
Laureate Of the Conservatoire; he sang with
serve the applause of Rossini he was as great
an athlete As the most muscular undergraduate
81 at HIS genial and loyal
under his mothers roof wins universal esteem
In one word, ever since his five and twentieth
year, bis life, unique in its character, has been
happy. easy, and couldn't de scource. We
Frenchmen are styled capricious, yet we have
never tired OF his works; We have never even
shown ourselv YES satated; we have never found
that the author produces enough. Publishers
OF prints, Of journals, Of books have not for one
moment ceased plsguing him. have seen him
over and over again finish design on wood
while the publishers messenger was waiting at
the door. The misfortune lie that this rapid pro-
duction under pressure ever since he began his
career has not left him time to complete the
studies which make great masters. The public
expected other things Of him than marvellous
sketches. They laid him under an injunction,
50 to saw, to undertake vaster and more finished
works, but have not left him the time neces-
sary That L. Why prefer his living and spark
ling studies Of Spain to the large designs in the
Dante and Bible, where We don't find Michael
Angelo or Dore either"

The BorrOwing Mrs, Carey,

Had Mrs. Carey been a man she would have
occupied leading diplomatic position, but
being woman her special qualification found
other vent Her emissaries were two sons of
tender age, but she did not scorn to do her share
of the execution, or even on rare occasions, to
impress her husband into the service. 1t came
to be doubt in the neighbOrhOOd If the Careys
ever sat down to a meal of which some portion
OF it was not freshly borrowed. Before other
people had fairly got out of bed, the emissaries
were on their secret missions, and until the
candles were extingushed at night they were at
work. tap at the door just AS the family were
about to draw up to the table would invariably
draw from the hOusekeeper the remark: There's
one of them Carey boys to borrow something;
come in" 1t was either for q cup of sugar, or
a bowl of flour, or grain of saleratus, or dish
butter. 1t appeared that Carey was going down
street presently, and would get a quantity of
the desired article, when the loan would be re-
turned; or he had just got home and forgotten
to bring it, which he had been specially direct
ed to do in the morning, and she would send one
of the boys down town after it in an hour or
two: 1t was always observed of Mrs Carey
that the article which she was out Of was some
thing she was just on the eve of sending for to
the store. When Mrs. Carey expected company
(or we may say when Mrs. Carey had COM
pany-as she never appeared to anticipate any
thing 1t was busy occasion for the emissaries.
There was cup Of sugar from the Schuylers
for "crow's next" little saleratus from the
WildmaDs; pitcher of milk from the Finches;
and q cup of white sugar for the tea from the
Smiths. The older Mrs. Carey grew In wears
the more embarrassed she became BY adverse
memory more uncertain, and brought addition
al duties to the emissaries to prevent them
from going to the store as often as she desired.
1t got 30 that no housekeeper, however care
less, would sit down to meal without first cast
ing precautionary glance ont of the window
for Carey. Unfortunately Mrs. Carey re-
turned the loans. We say unfortunately because
otherwise she could have been indicted for re-
ceiviDg goods under false pretenses, and shut M
in coDseq uence; or the community could have
arisen in body against her, and BY the mex
orable law of society crushed her out of exist
ence. As it was they grinned-they bore it,

THR WASHINGTON SCHUETZRN NEREIN De-
PINE THEIR POsITION.-The board OF directors
OF the Washington SchuetZen Verein publish a
card in one OF the morning papers in reply to
communication which recently appeared IN
the same paper in reference to the Schuetzen
Verein, In which they saw that their park is not
beer resort, but property purchased, owned
and controlled by an association of seven hun
dred gentlemen, Germans and Americans, who
nse II for social purposes, where, in a free wav
the principles OF true temperance are fostered,
and where the customs and habits of Fatherland
are blended with the practical common sense of
those TO the manor born. The park has been
used time and again by charitable associations
they have lad Presidents of the United States
Cabinet officers, Senators, Representatives and
the best citizens as guests and never has any one
been molested, insulted or made afraid. No
act Of rowdy ism has ever TRANSFERRED among the

called gentlemen by the dsmi-aoade, who

Who were, no doubt, stepped in whisky, to bring
Disgrace, not on US, but on the nation they rep

less TO keep bad characters, in the guise of la

say II Is not wine or lager that causes murder or
rapine but the native American standard drink,
whisky, that produces all the horrors. The one
