A Dying Mans Vision.

John Pope, pupil of Couture. associate
Of The New York National Academy, one
of the founders of the Artists Fund So
ciety, and an enthusiast in his profession.
died at his home in Fourth avenue, New
ork, recently, bel ewing that at last, after
forty years of labor, he had found the Sc
cret of perfected art. A man more thor
oughly enraptured with his calling never
lived. He painted while daylight lasted,
and then spent the evening producing the
crayon drawings so much admired in the
exhibitions at the Academy Of Design.
Though as portrait painter he excelled,
the dream of his life was to produce strong
figure pictures, in which the background
of landscape would form as effective part
as the figures themselves. THIS was his
ruling passion in life, and as he neared the
end The passion grew stronger. As he lay
back on his pillows, very weak andill with
hemorrhage of The lungs. his wife, who
with their two children, was watching at
his side, was startled by his suddenly ris-
ing in bed and crying feverishly:
Quick give me my palette and brush.
| must paint. Don't attempt to stop me
now, Tor at last see it all. l Can do 1t
now, tor l have just discovered the ant
through the influence of visions of exquis-
itely graduated music. II Is plain as day
at last"
His wife, charmed at his excitement,
made a weak attempt to dissuade Inn, but
as opposition only increased his excite
ment, and il was evident that his end was
very near, she bumored hun. His pants,
brushes and canvas were brought to him,
and his fearful relatives arranged the COW
erings of the bed SO that they would look
more like the Grapery of his studio. He
began his work with haste amounting al
most to frenzy.
AT last, at last" he cried, II have
found the beauty which all my life and
over all the world l have been struggling
for"
He painted faster and faster, evidently
believing that the canvas would show the
beauty that he conceived, although it was
IN truth a sad realization of the conception.
1t was late in the day when he began his
death-bed picture. 1t grew darker and
darker as he went on, and his sorrowing
family sat around him powerless to ease
hi last moments. AT last it grew SO dark
that even he in his excitement noticed II.
LET us go to the studlo," he cried, sud-
denly.
mo, no; not tonight. Wait until TO-
I'VE must go to the studio" he ex.
claimed, making an effort to rise to his feet.
The tax upon his strength was too great
without another word lie fel. back on his
pillows dead.

A New Alaxeppa.

One of the boys at Lamar, Missouri, had
been reading Byron's Mazepps ami he got
three or four OF the boys in barn down in
the southwest part OF the town and they
concluded TO play Mazeppa. From what
we can learn-not having been provided
with complimentary play " as rather
more Startling than instructive.
They got a COW and about forty feet of
clothes line and a number seven boy with
red hair and freckled nose TO do the Ma
zepps part, while gentle youth OF twelve
or thereabout wrapped saddle blanket
round his head ana, as the jealous sheik,
shouted:
bring forth the hoss." They '.fotched'
her. In truth, she was a noble steed. A
heifer of the muly breed, and wild-wiid
as seventeen kinds OF Rocky Mountain
William ID. Goats. They got her on the
barn floor and tied the boy on with the
rope and turned her loose. She took in the
situation and seemed to realize that her
credit as an actress WAS at stake. Her act
ing was splendid, and brought down the
house-by sections Whenever she run
over one Of the boys you could hear the ap-
plause for four blocks.
Although the audience all had parquette
and pit tickets, they thought they could
look at the play better from the gallery,
and so they slid up into the hay NOW ami
tried to crawl out through the roof while
The old COW was churning about fourteen
years growth out of Mazepps and bawling
ike q steam calliOpe, while Mazeppa
passed most OF the time Yelling like a pig
last in fence.
The play would probably have been in
progress yet but for the fact that the neigh
Dorhood thought cyclone was wrestling
with the barn, and rushed in and got the
COW up in q corner and amputated the
boy.
The show wound up with that thrilling
piece of music entitled sounds from
Home" which was well played by an i'm
prov;sed band of several parents, several
boys and several leather straps. The boys
say that the music made by the straps Was
thrilling In the extreme.

A Bull Fight IN Havana.

In Havana the bull ring IS called the cir
Gus. II is Just like circus, built of wood
with a high fence around the ring. The
fight don't amount 10 much, ordinarily, as
the war put an end to prosperity and sports
In honor OF the carnival, however, they an
nounced one, with fierce bull for the oc-
casion and a newly arrived Spanish mat
ador. Everybody went. The circus
would seat abcnt five thousand, and all
the great people were there TO look on.
The bull was led in, VI pulled in, rather,
by rope tied over his head. This was
jrrked Uf as he entered. and the animal
stood It'll awhile, dazzled. Then he W.
cred his head and began to paw the ground.
Three picddOres. two of them mounted
on splendid, w,ry lonies, entered from
the other side and rode around. The bull
paid lit attention TO them until one nd
ing by thrust the poiut Of his lance into
the bulls back. The animal then dart ed
at his assailants and lively chase began,
during which the crowd yelled. But the
bull was clumsy and could not reach the
mounted torturers. For twenty minutes
they bounded him until his eyes were blood
shot and he wa tired out Then, after a
rest, the footmen came in with red man.

amid flourish of trumpets, tine doors

Une of the most striking sights that take
tie attention of the traveller in Japan IS
that of the wooden sandals worn by the
80, 900. 900 of people. These sandals have
a separate compartment for the great toe,
and make clacking noise on the street
Straw slippers are also worn, and trav-

put on new pair when the old is worn out.

They are rights and lefts, and leave the

Rogersville Press and Times;
On last Friday, in Hancock county,
on Newman's Ridge, man by the
name of Mullins shot and killed
Larkin Gibson. 1t seems that our
informant knew but little Of the
particulars, but. according to the
best information he had gathered,
the facts are about as follows: Null
Inns is a revenue officer and Gibson
vioIator of the revenue law. 1t is
supposed that Mullins tried to arrest
Gibson, and that fight ensued, re-
sulting in the killing of Gibson, who,
it is said, fired the first shot. Our
informant, although he did not
know, thought there had been quite
a feud existing between the parties
for some time.

Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, is
said to have expressed himself very
emphatically in opposition to the
proposed prohibitory amendment to
the constitution of that State, con
demning it as unconstitutional and
impossible of execution under any
circumstances. He denies the right
of the State or the federal govern
ment to confscate the property of
citizens engaged in lawful trade, and
asserts that the cause of temperance
can be promoted only by education
and the general improvement of the
people, nothing ever having been
accomplished by sumputary law.
