FIRST on THE GRoUND.-The papers are tell
ing that Senator Plumb was the first man to
reach the President, after he was shot Plumb
was at the National Hotel, some little distance
from the depot. He perhaps heard the shot,
and knowing instantly that Garfield had been
shot, at once ran to the depot, getting to the
President before q number of other people who
had been standing near him, and were witnesses
Of the act. Although this story is a little bit
tough, we are willing to help give the glory to
Kansas of having been first to the rescue. But
we are no. willing that one Senatorial candidate
shall appropriate this honor to help his boom,
mt the expense of a rival. Gov. st. John was
the first man to reach the President. He was in
Colorado at the time, and when the first report
of the assassination reached him, he being
interviewed on the success Of prohibition in
Kansas, and had just belohed, and begun, 81
have saw"-he at once engaged a special train,
and set out for Washington. As he passed
through Topeka, he gathered Mrs. De Geer Call
and Amanda Way in either hand, aud Mrs.
Molloy in the other, and sped onward, reaching
the President before any of the spectators had
sufficiently recovered from their panic to assist
him. The Governor revived the President by

YASDAL, HOLD Since the assault upon Gar
field, public attention has been called to the
facility with which murderers escape punish
ment, and even the Kansas capital punishment
law is discussed, and changes suggested. Why
propose TO change any Kansas lawi The laws
of this State, from top to bottom are the whims
of jack-leg lawyers, shysters, and half-crazy ex-
perimenters. Kansas has on her statute-bOOks
laws embracing the wild ideas of every half-lu-
natic who could get hearing, and her Consti-
tuition is a piece Of patchwork, scarcely two
patches of which will fit together. The laws of
Kansas effective in nothing except in aiding
rascality. The much abused Bogus Laws, di-
vested of their provisions regarding slave prop
crty, were simmeasureably superiortO the Kan
sas Statutes of to-day as an Grafton by Daniel
Webster superior to one of ST. Johns favor
ite eructatiOns at the table. No, don't change
any of the Kansas laws. After barring out al
other immigration, do not spoil this paradise of
wild-eyed lunatics also. Kansas laws answer
all the purposes for piling up taxes, shielding
murderers, and assisting dead-beats to swindle
honest men ont Of their just dues. What more

ing of Garfield, that we cannot understand. 1t
was said that the first shot prodnced very bad
wound in the arm or shoulder; yet Garfield seems
to have paid no attention to it upon first thought,

what was up, when the second shot was fired.

Dyeing and Coloring Flowers.

Dyeing is especially used for the red
Xeranthemum annum Fl. pl., red Asters,
and all kinds Of ornamental grasses. Mix
ten parts of fresh water with one part OF
COON nitric acid. plunge the flowers in.
shake off the liquid and hang them up to
dry. In this way Xeranthemums, which
should be cut when entirely open will
acquire beautiful bright red tint; while
grasses only become little pale red on
the tops, but will keep afterwards for many
years, and may, if needed, be co.ored
otherwise at any time. Asters generally
when treated in this way, are not so fine
as If dried in sand. or smoked with brim-
stone. To color flowers and grasses blue,
violet. red, scarlet and orange, use the diff
ferent kinds of aniline; for yellow use
picriG acid, and for bright scarlet use
borax.
The anlllnc dye should be dissolved in
alcohol before it is fit for use. in which
condition it should be kept In well closed
bottles until it is required. 1t may also
be purchased in q dissolved condition of
any respectable chemist. To color by
means of anlline, take a porcelain or any
other we'll glazed vessel. pour in some boil
ing water, and add as much anllire as will
nicely color the water. According to the
quantity of aniline used, the color OF the
flowers will become more or less bright.
After the water has cooled little, plunge
in the flowers or grasses, and keep them In
1t till they are nicely oolored; then rinse
In cold water, shake of the liquid and
hang them up in the open air to dry.
To obtain fine blue, take ansline 5leu
de lian, boil the color with the water for
five minutes, and then add few drops OF
sulphuric scid before using. For violet,
use one part aniline violet and one part of
aniline bleu de lian; for red, aniline fuch
sin; fer scarlet, one part Of analine fuch-
sin and one of airline violet; for orange,
analine d'orange; for lemon color, pierre
acid, which should be dissolved in boiling
water and then thinned with little warm
water. Dip in the flowers. but not drain
off :he liquid.
Ali kinds of ornamental grasses can be
thus colorsd Especially Stipa pennata and
Ammonium alatuml white Xersnthemums,
and most other everlasting flowers. I'M
mortelles, however, as well as the ether
kinds of Helichrysums, must be treated
differently; their natural yellow color must
first be extracted by dipping them in boil
ing soap wafer, made with Italian soap,
and Afterwards dried in an airy, shady
place. Tne Savers generally become
closed when thus treated, and should be
placed near an oven, and subjected to the
influence of dry heat, when they will
soon reopen. THIS Is very important if
they are intended to be eoloreG; If not,

they will remain dne pure white Immor-
telles. Most Immoitelles, however, are
colored bright scarlet by means of borsx,
which gives beautiful olor; but il does
not keep well. and becomes gradually
paler For this purpose, dissolve as much
borax in boiling water as will color 1t
nicely; when cool, dip the flowers, but do
not allow them to remain after they have
taken the color; If kept IN too long, they
will not ag1in open their flowers.
The chief point in every mode Of color
ing Immortelles Is to place them first In Q
dry, warm atmosphere, where they will
open their flowers well and after coloring
they should again b exposed to heat by
which means they will nearly always re-
open them. Very nice looking Immortel-
les are also produced by coloring only the
centre of each flower scarlet which Is done
very rapidly with borax, by means of q
small pencil or q thin wooden splinter,
which is dipped into the color and after
wards applied to the centre. This is gene
rally done by little children in those estab-
iishments in Germany and France which
SUPPLY the trade with everlasting flowers.
Finally, I shall give q very cheap and
very good recipe to cGlor ornamental grass
and moss beautiful green: II q dark
green is required, take two pints of boiling
water, one ounce of alum, and half an
ounce of dissolv d indigo cafmine plunge
the moss or grass into the mixture, shake
off the liquid, and dry the grass or moss
in an airy, shady place. In the winter.
however, they should be dried by means
of fireheat. If light green is required,
add to the above mixture more CT lses
pierre acid, according as q more or less
light shade is required.

my instructions. In short time 1 re-
turned to make another examination of
the work. You can Judge of my sur
prise when 1 tell you that COW had

ascertained that the lady artist had put

Where do you obtain your models
for copying?"
"From the artists in the Tenth street
and Christian Association building stu
dios. When they paint a picture for
which they cannot find a ready sale,
they rent it to us, and We make from
fifty to one hundred copies of it. We
can afford to throw these copies upon
the market at a very low figure. Many
of our pictures find their way into the
auction rooms"
''How about prices -
"Well, We do the best We can; but We
have often been compelled to sell pic
lures for 81 or 50 that cost us twice as
much to produce"
"Does the chrome business interfere
with the sale of cheap pictures ?"
''Yes, to a certain extent but not as
much as might be supposed. There are
many who prefer a bad painting to a
good chrome, because they think the
latter bears upon its faoe the imprint of
cheapness. These persons are like
people who are willing to pay good
price for second-class frescoing rather
than have their walls covered with
handsomely printed paper, which can
be purchased almost for a song. / am
glad that this mistaken taste exists
among the people for its existence en-
ables u lot of poor creatures to earn
precarious livelihood. 1 know of several
widows who manage to maintain them
selves and their families by copying
paintings. There are others who turn
an honest penny by coloring photo
graphs. 1t is really surprising how the
latter branch of the business has grown
up within the last five or six years.
Some of the artists who are engaged in
the retouching of photographs produce
cheap work of fair quality. They have
the 'knack' of fixing a sun picture of a
plain-looking person so that it will look
really handsome. There are artists adj
vanced in years who, in their younger
days, could do first-class work, but
whose right hand has now lost its cum
ming. Becoming reduced in circum-
stances, they are compelled to do botch'
work as a means of keeping soul and
body together"
