The Duchess of Gen eva is deadt The prOu

have been duchesses before this that died,
and no newspaper thought it necessary to
moralize on it. But this was none of your
common kind, this duchess wasn't. Her
blood wasn't blue with greatness. Her an
eestors were neither Saxon or Norman. In
fact. this duchess was Yankee. She lived
at Utica, and shs was short horn. Yes, this
duchess was a COW. and her history adds
another illustration of the vanity of hu-
man hopes and purposes. The duchess

the poorest scrub that gives up the ghost in

Duchess, respectable fortune was extin-
guished land the "tune that the old COW died
on" some fellow was prepared to sing with
JUNCTION. In whose hands this costly piece
of beef became worthless, it is not very easy
at this moment to say. Probably the ORR
ginal owner, Mr.. Samuel Cam pbell, of New
York Mills, is the gentleman who is tearing
his hair because the beast was not knocked
down last fall to some bona fide bidder for
a modest $4,000 or $4,000. The sale wass

endorsing the herd in England. Then the
agent for an English nobleman attended the
sale and exceeded his instructions IN
running up the bids to $4,000. The princi-
pal went back on the purchase and the an
imal was reported to have been sold to q pri-
yate party for $50, 900. But as she was not re-

Gen. Schenck is good enough to explain
that he really has not come to take any cabi-
net position. That he has come home simply
on private business-to see i"Emma" proba
bly-and when his leave of absence expires in
May he means to return. 1t is beauti-
full thing to draw 81, 900 year in gold and
then pass two or three months in tending to
private business. If the English mission
can get along three months without min
lister, why can't it get along without such a
piece Of costly furniture altogether?
This country is paying ministers at every
court in Europe whose services are not
really worth penny to the country. Ban
croft at Berlin, Washburne at Paris, Schenck
at London, and Jewell at st. Petersburg, who
receive Slz 800 year in gold. for represent
ing this country at court, balls and publ"
festivities. Beside these there are ten mis-
sions paid $4,000 and a dozen or
two paid from $500 to $1,000
To these add innumerable consuls,
special agents and extraordinary ENJOYS of
one sort and another, and you have an idea
of the cost to which the people are put to
maintain idle politicians in office. In these
days of quick voyages and ocean cables
there is no sort of use for costly delegations
at the capitals of other countries. During
the recent Spanish complication for instance
the whole business was transacted by cable,
Minister Sickles being about as much use
as a second tail to a cat. The entire service
of the government is carried on in this
costly and cumbersome way, and the candi-
dates for the next congress should be
pledged to rectify this business before the
people put trust in them.

A SINGULAR EVIDENCE OF GENIUs-A GENu
me STROKE OF ART,
The Cincinnati Gazette says: Yesterday 3
constant succession of visitors entered Wis
wells art hall to look at work of art
unique and interesting. 1t is the Dreaming
Iolanthe, of which brief notice appeared
yesterday. 1t is model or cast of female
head, in two-thirds relief, made from butter
The mention of the material is not sugges-
tive of high art, and no doubt causes smile
Ola the countenances OF those who have not
seen 1t. In the presence of the WORK
the feeling changes, and the most
unskilled observer must find. in
the features before him, something to adj
mire. He sees the artists conception of the
heroine of a Danish lyrical drama. written
by Henrik Hertz. She is sixteen wears old.
and is blind, but up to that age has not
known her mlsfOrtune-she has been the
dreaming Iolanthe. The poets idea is a
fine one, and it impressed Mrs. Brooks. the
sculptures, so strongly, that she has wrought
her fancy in these features. One can not
describe the subtle quality which gives life
and character to work of this kind,
but 1t can be seen. The whole coun-
tenance is instinct with life, and in
looking at it one can readily imagine
the existence of the mind that lights
up the features. 1t is truly an "ani-
mated bust" The material gives to the
model delicate naturalness that is even
better than marble. 1t is exhibited under a
light, with the room darkened. How is the
butter kept in its place? is question con-
tinually asked. IL is covered at night with
cloths, wet with saltpetre solution, and
daily 1t receives touches to restore any loss
In form IL may have received. Mrs. Brooks
has kept this work since last November and
can keep it in an indefinite time. But if it
were to melt she can easily reproduce it.
Mrs. Brooks, last summer, was living on a
farm nine miles from Helena, Ark, in des
titute, almost uncivilized country. She
had no preceptor, no models, and no in
centive to work. She began to ornament her
butter which she sent to marnet. She made
comic ornamentations for the butter on
tables at public gatherings. Finally her
work attracted attention, and she set seri-
ously at work to produce something worthy
of being seen. Her ii st effort of importance
was called by critics Mary, Queen of Scots,
but she had no model to copy from. Next
she worked in the present conception, the
first effort representing side view of the
head and arm. She now has photographs of
this. showing that the two are almost ex-
actly alike. AT last she produced the pres
emit work, and has been induced to let the
world see it. Mrs. Brooks is a lady of cul-
ture and of native taste. She hesitates about
attempting to work in any other material.
but 1t Is hardly probable that one who pos
sesses her rare gift can continue to keep it

Editor Democrat;
Our celebration was a success. Oul
number was unexpectedly great, so that
the ladies only could be seated. The
| officers Of the day were pleased to
witness the good order, politeness and
cheerful spirits Of the people. The
minor points of deficiency in the pro-
gramme were observed with patience
father than complaint All were sat
isfled with the basket dinner, and acted
upon the intuitive motto that philan-
throphy is the antecedent and fertile
element Of practical patriotism. The
GRAFTON, by Mr.. Helm, attracted much
compliment. It's fabric was new, and
come With freshness and aptitude. The
orator indicated the rhetorical art Of
supporting his comprehensiveness with
clearness and brevity. In the course
ofthe orators sclosing remarks, he spoke
of Oregon in terms calculated to move
with ecstacy the appreciatlve mind Of
a favored people. Perhaps the critic
would say the grafton was too short.
But the eulogist might respond, that
there is no point in public discourse
which requires more exacting care than
that of length. So that shortness may
often be excised US o sort of lucky mis-
fortune.
Our Fourth was clear, its breezes
gentle, its events welcome. J. G. s.
