Theophile Gautier originally "went inn for
paibting, bsing pupil Of the famous ioult,
but it did not take him long to discover that he
was not destined to caro- fame as an artist, so
having failed as the old writer said, he turned
critic.
Gerad de Nsrval, however, secured and kept
one Of the ambitions students pictures in his
earliest manner, which he delighted to show to
visitors, to whom he would put the unvarying
question;
'Wnat do you think that is?"
Que would say it was a camel and another
that i: was landscape, and third a slave
ship and so on, till one DAY an sxasperated aud
bsf1ed student of its beauties went to Gautier
aud asked him what il was.
'Is it?" he asked, "a tree or dog, Cleopatra
and the asp or flower piece, melon OF
group of wrestlsrs, the Mississippi or cathe-
dr.l dish of oysters or a Spanish galieon?

The proposed action of the Legislature in
regard to court stenographers is short sighted
economy. Comparatively few who commence
the study of shorthand succeed in gaining
practical knowledge of the art. In order
to practice it successfully in court the re-
porter must possess quick hands, retentive
memory, an active mind, and have general
knowledge Of law and the trial of causes.
Stenographers do not have constant employ
ment and only receive pay when courts are
in session. Courts can do nearly twice as
much work with them as without them. A
bill is now before the Legislature to reduce
their per diem to SO 90 What an induce

A Panic in Portland.

The announcement in the argus that a
conspiracy has been discovered in Washing
ton having for its object the arrest and i'm
prisonment of leading Democrats, has caused
something like a panic in Portland. The
CONSERVATION among prominent members of
the party in this city is extreme. Ono lead.
ing local politician was called upon twice Sat-
urday at bis home. and the domestic who an.
swered the bell said each time that he had
lust gone out" Another Democrat was
seen in the early morning hurrying toward
railway station, his face so closely mufied
up as to be hardly recognizable. Another
disguised himself by shaving off bis beard.
At church yesterday few prominent Demo-
Gratis we're to be seen.
Many subterfuges we're resorted to in order
TO escape arrest. One man caused 1t to be
announced Saturday morning that he was in
Augusta, though he was certainly seen on
the streets of Portland that day. Another
gave out that he had gone to Washington,
and received much praise for his courage In
boarding the lion in its den until it was dis
covered that he was secreted in the cellar of
his house. To those who discovered him he
pretended that be was '.fxing the furnace
an evident evasion. Yet another put card
on the door bearing this legend: "Out Of
town; back in ten days." One man averreo
he had business in New Hampshire, but it
was noticed that he took the Grand Trunk
train, whereas the Boston roads were the
shortest way. Iudeed, the trains Canaoa-
ward over the Grand Trunk were heavily
loaded Saturday, and conductor who has
been on the road many years says 1t remind
ed him of the times during the war. It
looked good, he added, to see the old familiar
faces. Diligent inquiry showed that the edi-
tor of the Argas had not been at bis Office in
town during the day.
1t was rumored that secret meeting was
held Saturday evening to concert measures
for resistance. Strict inquiries, however,
show that the runner was without foundation.
1t was probably started with the base purpose
of infaming the public mind.

THIS from the Boston Journal: A cor
respondent recalls the fact that at the time
of the Dexter bank affair it was held that the
men who murdered Brrruu uvro- tho same
ones who committed robbery Of the express
office in Dexter shortly previous, and in ac-
cordance with this belief, the man who had
been arrested for the latter crime was dis
charged. BE wants to know whether we
ought now to believe that Barron robbed the
express Office as well as the bank, before com.
mitting suicide in the highly ingenious and
complicated manner described by the detec-
at least one individual, well known in Dexter
and resident there, who maintains that the
man who robbed the express Office and who
killed Barron is now living In Dexter.

THE feeling of prominent Democrats in

legally Mr.. Tilden established, beyond refuta-
ton, that he knew nothing about the cipher
dispatches and was not In any way concerned
in or consenting to any attempts to obtain by
purchase or bribery the electoral votes of any
state. But among number of Democrats of
considerable eminence the result of the ex-
animation leaves a painful impression that he
is man extremely and culpably tolerant OF
grossly immoral transaction in a person
very near to him, having very confidential re-
lations with him, and whom he detected liz
an attempt to commit, for Mr.. Tilden's bsne-
fit, grave criminal action"
