That Southern Commission.
Washington D.spatch.l

lWdsHluBlOu DASpdtCn.l
After the cabinet adjourned, Hayes sent for
Vice President Wheeler, and told him that
a southern commission would probably be
decided upon, to go at once and report upon
the situation, and that he wanted him to
head it, Mr. Wheeler said his health was
such that he could not give the matter that
attention which its importance demanded.
Hayes insisted that he should head the COM
mission, and gave Wheeler until tomorrow
to make up his mind. If the commissions
plan is agreed upon, which is now almost
certain. the slate has been made up a. fol-
lows: Vice President Wheeler. Senator'S Da-
vid Davis and Z. lockwood HoaT; exGov-
ernor Brown, of Texas, and Kenneth Ray
nor, of North Carolina. They are to start on
Monday next The main objective point
will be New Orleans but South Carolina is
also to be visited. There will be no difficult
ty in settling the troubles in the latter state
as Chamberlain has already been bought up.

HISTORY OF A PICTURE.

Two of the most celebrated artists the
world has ever known dwelt in the same
city. One delighted in delineating beauty
in all its graces of tint form and motion.
His portraits were instinct with the charm
of physical vigor The graceful. half-volup-
tuOus outline of form and feature harmon
lied with delicately blended tints. On his
canvas the homeliest faces had an almost
irresistible charm. The other found pleas
ure only in depicting weird and gloomy SUBJ
jects. Above all did he excel in painting the
portraits of the dying The agonizing death
throe the CHASTITY face and form were all de-
picted with marvellous fidelity. There ex-
listed between these artists the most intense
dislike. At length this dislike eliminated.
The beauty loving artist had been engaged
in painting the portrait of a beautiful wo-
man. Connoisseurs pronounced it the most
wonderful piece of art that had ever been
produced His brother artist was jealous of
his fame and sought revenge. By bribing
the keeper of the studio he gained access to
the picture each night. AT first he was con-
tent to only deaden the hrilliancy of the
complexion and eyes etface the bloom from
cheek and lip and paint shadow on either
cheek Later, his strokes grew holder and
freer, and one morning the artist awoke to
find the entire outline OF the portrait
changed. He could scarcely recognize in
the emaciated and haggard countenance the
glowing conception he had embodied. The
pallid lace and expression es eyes lie had ale
tributed 10 a lack of genuIness in his mate
rails; bus when the outlines were changed
he suspected the cause and Indignantly dis
missed the keeper What the revengeful ar
fist married by few rapid strokes of his
skillfuI brush was only restored by years of
patient INDUSTRY. Reader, need we name
the artists-Health who paints the flowers
and grass carpet" no less than the human
form divine; Disease, the dreaded artist,
who revels among the ruins Of both nature
and humanity. aud Carelessness, the keeper,
to whom Health often intrusts his portraits
And is il not the beauty of woman, the
most admired OF all the works which adorn
the studio of Health, that Diseas- ofteDest
seeks to mar? The slightest stroke of his
brush upon the delicate organization leaves
an imprint that requires much skill and
patience TO efface. Restoration must be
prompt. CarelessneSs must be dismissed.
Let suffering woman heed the warning ere
Disease has marred their chief beauty,
Health-beyond PREPARATION. DR. PiercA's
Favorite Prescription has been used by
thousands of these sufferers. aud they are
unanimous in their praise of irs excellence.

Packard has quit recruiting his militia
from the field hands of Louisiana who were
induced for various reasons to 90 to New
Orleans. He was given to understand that
he was not preserving the status quo. Hayes
would like to have things just as they are
during his term of office. 1t would relieve
him Of an immense responsibility, and if
Packard would go on playing governor on
his half acre of soil he would be in good
condition to have returning board ready
in time for the next presidential election.

Postmaster General Key seems to be a
figure-head in his department They say
Tyner has gone to work with will, and
that he really does all the work This suits
all around. Hayes was so overjoYed to have
a live southern democrat in his cabinet that
it really makes no difference whether he at
tends to the duties of the position or not;
consequently Tyner can be worked in to
great advantage, which we notice is being
done

The club house of the Washington ring
was sold out bag and baggage on Monday at
public auction in Washington city. Here
was the resort of the festive gentlemen who
made their money quite as easily and as
reputably as the runners of faro banks. The
good times that were to come with Hayes's
election to the presidency somehow didn't
come to them, even if it came anywhere
else, which at this writing seems exceed
ingly doubtful. The ring did not like the
idea of a plain sherifFs sale, and the
members tried very hard to hedge against it,
but all to no purpose. Attempts were made
to transfer gracefully the house to some
other club, but all devices failed. The red
flag of the auctioneer foated beautifully over
the building on Monday last.

Exhausted and worn out by the vigorous
but fruitless struggles he has made to escape
the official honors thrust upon him by
grateful country, Jim Tyner finally gave up
the unequal contest and entered upon his
duties as first assistant postmaster yester-

most edifying to behold.

THE,REsoURCEs OF THE CoMBA-
, q TIA NTS

The clouds of war have gathered dark
ly over the eastern skies, and the storm
may burst at any moment. The Turks
have been straining every nerve to pre-
pare for the ordeal, and for somo time
arms and ammunition have been poure
ing into Constantinople, Our Ameri>
can rifle and powder manufacturing
companies have found them large custo-
mers. A steamer recently arrived in the
Bosphorus with 80 400 rifles and I4.700,-
600 cartridges, the cargo being sent out
by a Providence company. But not
withstandlng all these preparations,
there can be no doubt that If war should
ensue the Russian troops would easily
drive the Turks before them, as they did
in the campaigns of 1928 and 1929, when
the THrks were stronger than they are
now and the Russians were weaker.
Russia has an army of over q million and
population of eighty-eight millions
upon which to draw. Her finances are
not in . good condition. The public
debts amounts to f250, ,962, 200, and there
is in addition paper currency of G113,
044, 1888. Both gold and silver are at q
high premium, and it has been only dur
ing few years past that she has been
able to overcome an annual deficit in
her budget. Turkey is in wretched
condition. She owes f185 100000 to
foreign ponunoluerS anu Slo,UUO,UuU at
home. Her annual deficit is now some
where between twenty and thirty,five
millions of dollars, nobody knows exac-
tly how much. Nominally she has an
army of half million, but her electives
are greatly below that in nun ber When
it comes to fighting Russia can. send
troops into Turkey at the rate of five to
one. There has been great deal said
about the courage and endurance Of the
Turks, and they undoubtedly have good
fighting qualities, but they give way
when they are defeated just as other
troops do, and if war takes place tho
have done before. The outlook is de-
cidedly warlike at present. and as the
season for military operations-if there
are to be any-is at hand, a settlement
one way or the other cannot long be
postponed. e. -f.. r-t.l' -

before Justice Whitehead in the case of

on the road leading from this place to

Mayr, a piano tuner, testified that he
found the woman in dying state she
was bleeding and breathing heavily. He
also noticed a cut on her lip. Samuel
Boyd testified that he saw the woman
lying in the ditch, and the prisoner
Thomas Finnegan--trying to get her on
her feet failing in this he saw him (the
prisoneri kick and strike her. He remon-
strated with Finnegan for his brutality,
and threatened to hand him over to an
officer Other witnesses essubstantiated the
evidence of the above. DR.. William b.
Brinton, who made post-mortem exani-
ination, testified that the deceased came
to her death from compression, OF the
brain resulting from a blow. The jury
rendered verdict that Elizabeth Finne-
gan came to her death from blow re-
ceived at the hands of her husband,
Thomas Finnegan. Justice Whitehead

He said that while the colored people
