Pictures Taken in Hades.

Few of the great European collec-
tions of painting are forlon of works
illustrating the topography and archi'
lecture of Hades, as sketched out in
Dante's immortal verse. Society, how,
ever, has hitherto yearned in vain for
any authentic description of his Satanic
Maiesty's dominions, illustrated by
drawings executed on the spot; and it
has been reserved for Professor Leuchin,
of Moscow, to fill up this hiatus by
work which he has just published, under
the title of s'The Mysteries Of He'll and
ITS inhabitants" "a folio volume, en-
riched by seventy photographs Some
of these are portraits of the leading
native celebrities, while others repro
duce the process Of torment most in
vogue amongst the present administra-
tors of the Tartarean penal code. In
his preface to this remarkable book the
learned professor gravely remarks: "We
have heretofore only been able, by the
aid Of conjecture, to arrive at dim APP
prehension of the tortures that await US
in the subterranean realm; but, after
protracted and all but superhuman ex-
ertions, succeeded in throwing light upon
all this more or less vague information,
and in producing an absolutely authen-
tic description of He'll and its inhabit-
ants Severely striking original photo
graphs Of eminent internal personages,
and faithful de eoictment Of the last
judgement will be found to represent
completely and exhaustively all those
phenomenafw which have hitherto proved
insolubly enigmatical to humanity at
large" 1t is to be regretted that the
professor should have preserved
Sphynxian silence respecting the details
of his journey in the lower regions, and
of the visits he must have paid to the
diabolical dignitaries who so amiably
permitted him to photograph their ex-
pressive lineaments In enabling US,
however, to contemplate undouhted
likenesses Of Lucifer, Ashtaroth, Bel
zebub and sundry other distinguished
characters OF the same class, Professor
Leuchin has established claim to our
lasting gratitude. London Telegraph.

THE NATIONAL EJJR.

The National Fair commences on Tuesday
next, October 5, and will continue until the
10th. Business interests have combined
energy has been exercised, and hence we
have right to assume that the fair will be
success. In fact, knowing the enterprise
of the gentlemen who have the control of
affairs, We have not permitted ourselves for
a moment to entertain the idea of failure
Unquestionably Washington labors under
many disadvantages in getting up fair of
the sort held last year, but the very fact of
overcoming all obstacles and making a sue
cess of the undertaking is a proof of the ell
ergy and perseverance of our business men,
When once it shall he demonstrated that
difficulties can and will be overcome our fairs
will be visited ly people from all sections Of
the country. They will, moreover, tend to
lead to an examination Of the many natural
advantages that surround us, which will re-
suit ultimately in their utilization. Th,
weather here in October is delightful and
| independent of the attractions of the fair
ground, people will avail themselves of the
opportunity to visit the various objects OF
interest in and about the Capital, and there.
by, as it We're, kill two birds with one stone
Our citizens of every degree have therefore
every incentive to combine to make the com
ing fair grand success in all particulars.

The sole stock in trade which the Rcpubli-
cans have to urge against Mr.. English, the
Democratic nominee for Vice President, is
that he is a shrewd business man. Under
ordinary circumstances this would be cs-
teemed Il Recommendation, for there is the
natural inference that man who looks well
and closely after his own interest will if
elected to office, do the same in behalf of his
constituents. Ills popularity in the State of
Indiana has been sufficiently proven by the
large majolities which sent linn to Congress,
that he il personally Objectionable to the
leading statesmen has been nailed MS a
lie by the active support he is receiving from
such men ns Hendricks. Mcdonald, and
other distinguished politicians of the State.
In the dark days of Knownothingism there
was no more earnest or devoted champion in
maintaining the integrity and right of the
forrign-bo born citizen than Mr.. English, and
the men of all European nationalities owe
him debt of gratitude which will at least
cn,tls him to their votes. For lrishmen,

up mostly of the old proscriptivc elements,

half the popular current, which set 50
strongly upon the side of native Americanism,

least, have ever maintained tho reputation
of being faithful to their friends. II is their
pride and boast that they never turned their
backs upon either friend or foe, and we feel
assured that they will be found, when the
ides of November demands their suffrage,

Judge Kelley, in his recent speech accept
ing the Republican nomination in his dis
trct, declared that the Golden Club of Eng
land is now expending d large amount Of
money in the printing and distribution of
free trade pamphlets in this country To con-
troll the tariff legislation of the United States.
1t is true that such publications have been
distributed by the Golden Club, the great
free trade centre of England, for several
years past; but was Judge Kelley torgetful
that while the Golden Club did not honor
him, either when in England or at home.
Gen. Garfield is one of the few revenue
reformers " among our statesmen who has
been honered with membership in the Cob
den Clubl Did the Golden Club and Judge
Kelley err in accepting Gen. Garfield as n
Free Trader, or do the business men of Phil
adelphia err in accepting him as Protcc-
tionisti Both cannot he right; which is
wrong Judge Kelley not only voted against
Gen. Garfield as the Republican candidate
for Speaker in 1877, but he emphasized his
opposition to aarllelds free trade doctrines
by voting against him again in 1879, when
