Hangman's work is bad enough Mt the
best; botchod rs II was yesterday at Harrison
burg. Virginia. 1t becomes revolving. So long rs
society enncts that for certain crimes mems
nccks shall be- broken. it is bound to see that the
penalty is inflicted without needless suffering
to thecrminul or To- the bysiandcrs. In this Nir-
ginia case the horror is heightened by tho fact
that the poor. hulf-hangcd wretch rs he lay on
the grass at the foot Of the scaflold. cried out
again that he was innocent IIcdied with THAT cry
on his lips. 1.-THE death penalty is TO Doe retained
in our code. such scenes as this must not be re-
poatcd too often. They are simply too horrible
TO he tolerated boy a civilized community.
But what an indictment Of our civilization.
our churches and missionary societies is the
glimpse afforded Us of the life led by the people
OF Shiflet's Hollow. in one of the Oldest States
Of the Union. They do not go To- church. or
send their children to school; their morals are
those OF central Africa; they are as super
stltous as they are ignorant; human life is
held among them at a very low rate. the ruling
quotation apparently being 50. Yet within a
few miles of them are churches. schools. and
colleges; and virginia yearly gives thousands
Of dollars to help ON the work of converting the
heather.
The worst Of It Is that Shinloti's Hollows are
not peculiar to the Virginia mountains.

The Engllsh Tu,f.

Lord Ailesbury has written a let
ter on blooded horses which almost
provokes the London Times into
RIGHTEOUSNESS. The Thunderer,
roaring greatly, inquiries whether it
is not very proper that there should
be some among the peers to whom
the fate of the christian subjects Of
Turkey should appear of little i'm
portance in comparison with the
prospects of the Newmarket spring
meeting. Lord Ailesbury does not,
however, speak SO much of the
Newmarket spring meeting as he
does of two topics rather more ge-
neric, namely, the practice of
handicapping and the French poll
cy Of protection by which English
horses are now excluded from GER
tain races in France. Handicapping,
he thinks, is contrary to the inter
ests of breeders, since it does not
provide hal the best horse should
win; at the same time, he is free
to confess that he would never have
attained as good results in his own
stables had handicapping not been
largely in vogue. The introduce
ton of railroads has taken racing
out of the circuits in which it for
merly flourished, and made a large
part of the world accessible to com
petition; han~dicapping consequent
ly becomes necessary if young
horses are to be used at all. The
lack of reciprocity on the part of
foreign race-courses Lord Falmouth
would resent by excluding foreign
horses from races in England until
the bar against the admission of
the horses of that country abroad
is removed.

London POrtfolio.l
The high price given for pictures
during the last twenty years show
no sign of diminution, either in
England or France; indeed, we
seem to have reached a condition of
things in which artists whose repu-
tation dates only from the present
decade receive prices equal to those
Of great old masters. AS for the
elder artists, already in full celeb
rity, there seems to be hardly a
limit to their pecuniary success.
Meissonier accepted a commission a
year or two since from a dealer
known to us for o small picture Of
two figures at $4,000, and when the
work was finished asked twice that
sum on the ground that the value
of his performances had doubled in
the interval. A thousand pounds
has become quite a common price for
works by celebrities as recent as a
new opera singer. For e100 you can
get small oil sketch of one figure by
such a recent celebrity as NJ. dc
Melville. The elder artists Of rep
utation are building fine houses,
like wealthy merchants, and the
younger ones are either saving for
tunes or spending them. Mean
while there is just as much strug-
Cling as there ever was for those
artists, young or old, who have not
yet attracted the notice of the pub
lie, and are not on the dealers pri.
vate list Of available men. Some OF
those who earn the most money are
the most hardly pressed by the ne
cessity for earning, and do the most
rapid work.
