Dandyism in Art.

Never, it seems, were painters so
much devoted to painting the outside of
things as they are now. We are dazzled
everywhere with tricks of color, fantastic
dress, subjects chosen only with reference
to their adaptation to the revelation of
the special clevernesses of those who
treat them. 1t seems as if every painter
who had managed to achieve some re-
markable trick of handling, were making
it the business of his life to play that
trick, and to have nothing to do with
any topic which will not furnish him
the occasion for its use. Young men, in
great number of instances, are running
after these trick-masters, learning moth
ing of art in its deeper meanings, but
Supremacy busy with the outside of
things, and very trivial things at that
In this devotion to the tricks of art, all
earnestness and worthiness of purpose
die, and art becomes simply a large and
useless field of dandyism.

Swept Into q Sewer,

just after the heavy rain had ceased
falling recently and the cutters along the
streets were overlooking, boy by the
name of William Huff, about twelve
years of age, was wading in the water
on West Chestnut street. Walking
down the gutter, the current became SO
swift that he was carried down the
stream through the catch basin at the
corner of Second and Chestnut streets
and into the sewer beneath. Two or
three persons saw him go down, and no
one expected that he would ever be seen
alive again. Hardin Huff, the father of
the boy, hearing of the accident, took a
bee line for the river, quarter of a mile
distant. Although he made rapid time,
upon arriving there he found his boy
walking up the bank. The youth says
that when he fell into the sewer he tried
to stand still until help could arrive, but
the current was too powerful, and he was
swept swiftly down the long, narrow
and dark cavern, sometimes with his
head above and sometimes beneath the
water. The inky darkness was now and
then relieved by a sudden ray of light
coming down through catch basins, but
he shot past them like the winds into ut
ter darkness amid the incessant roar of
the constantly increasing volume of
water. He says that he was positive
that if he could keep his head above the
water long enough he would finally
strike the Wabash, and could run his
chances of getting to shore. In all these
suggestions he was correct.-Terre
