preme Courts adverse ruling cannot be good,
and Justice Sharpste;n found it wrong. But
even surprising the mode Of taxation was
faulty, he still thought that contracts would
hold, and the letting Of more could continue.
That Is the present position of the ques-
ton; therefore the Commissioners could
hold their ground and let contracts.
And for the good Of the State it is most
desirable that that work should be
continued. As regards the tax required.
there can be no doubt that all those who are
prepared to act in good faith with the bill
would voluntarily pay their assessment and
believe they would constitute large ma
jority, while those who refused payment and
rendered themselves liable to be sued, should
be dealt with by future Legislature, on the
merits Of the question of their having repudi-
ated an Act of the Legislature. And TO set
the question right in regard to the State and
the Supreme Court the Governor. as execu-
tive of the people. as well as ex Cfficio Pres:-
dent of the Board Of Commissioners. should
have an opportunity OF hearing before the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
or other authority that can take cog
nizance CT our Supreme Courts want
of justification in their ruling. Some
such course as this would show that the pso-
pie are thorcughlyin earnest in the matter, and
still willing 20 tax themselves half million
year, if necessary, while at the same time
by urging Congressional aid, show our claims
upon the United States for the preservation
Of the rivers and bays. If. on the contrary.
we do nothing to help ourselves, there is less
chance of Congress doing anything whatever.
II the Governor could call an extra session
of the Legislature for the winter ss early as
possible, then perhaps delegation to Con-
gress, including the Governor, Surveyor
General and State Engineer, and chief pro-
motors of the bill, to represent tie Commits
sioners and people. and urge the matter more
strongly than Mr.. Page may present it, might
be in order. But vigilance Of some kind is
demanded
p. ST. omitted to notice that the whole
line of argument of the Supreme Court, re-
garding dams as private enterprise not
essential to the drainage in question, and for
which the State could not be taxed, and
would become plumber" was so entirely mis-
conceived, aad even insulting to the Governor
himself, as President of the Board of Commits
sioners, that for the very reason he saw no
cause to veto the bill in the first instance,
he ought 90 have an opportunity OF clearing
and vindicating himself, as well as the act of
the people, before some proper tribunal; in
dependent of the almost ridiculous reflection
Of the Supreme Court, upon the intelligence
of the Legislature and the Governor. in pass
ing an Act in conflict with the title and the
Constitution, when it can probably be clearly
shown there is no such conflict.

cARoLss DURAN's IDEAS ABOUT ART.

Carolus Duran was born at Lille, about
nine and thirty years ago, and has that
striking aspect which / have always re-
marked as being common to all great ar
tists-an aspect which can only describe
as one expressing luminous originality.
His long black hair, now slightly tinged
with gray, is brushed back from an ample
forehead, beneath which two splendidly
expressive eyes, brilliant, penetrating. ten
der and bold, CLEAN like two stars. He
received my congratulations with that re-
fined courtesy and cordial amiability which
has won him such success in the grande
monde, and made him, par excellence, the
fashionable portrait painter of France.
Turning from the essels to the walls one
sees many familiar objects. Here are all
the studies for the. celebrated equestrian
portrait Carolus Duran painted of his sister
in-law, Mile. Croizette, of the Coincide
Franchise here is the famous portrait OF
his daughter-one OF his very greatest
efforts; here remarkable portrait OF a
Spanish friend, who, judging from what one
sees here, would have been model worthy
If Velasauez here are the foils which
all Paris has heard of, for it is well known
fact in the French metropolis that Carolus
Duran is crazy about fencing, and here is
the celebrated mammoth palette = the
largest palette ever artist used, fancy
on which the reserved or hayward colors
are toyed with, cajoled and caressed until
they become reconciled one to another, and
yield up the full secret of their united splen-
dor. By degrees, as the breakfast-ho
approached, NJ. Duran's friends and ad-
mirers took their leave and left us to our
chat. The great artist is victim to the
charms of the goddess Nicotina, ard it is
with a cigarette between his lips that he
begins.
!" always tell my pupils first that the
following is, in my opinion, the golden
maxim which all who would succeed as
artists should adopt Love glory more
than money, art more than glory, and
nature more than art. am, unlike many
artists, disciple of nature"
But in the education Of a painter,

due of advantage in favor of a community
who practically adopted the principle OF COM
mon or State ownership of land. LII SO, may
we not conclude, all other things being equal,
that such a community, in the fierce struggle
for existence modern civilization demands.
would outstrip her rivals until they too would
be compelled in self-defense TO adopt the same
system. Then would the tine be ripe for po-
litical action.
1t seems TO me that one practical expert
ment would be worth whole libraries OF dis
cussion, and whether successful or otherwls',
would at least furnish data on the subject.
But discussion must come first, of course !;
therefore it is to be hoped that our practical
economic writers will devote more attention
to tie consideration Of this subject than they
have hitherto DONE 1t is very much to be
regretted that writer of such undoubted
ability as Amasa Walker should dispose OF
the subject in SO summary manner as the
following unscientific formula would indicate.
In his discussion of rent in the Science OF
Wealth" he says: Land may bs said to be
the foundation of rent, and since the rightful-
ness OF appropriating it has been disputed, it
may be proper to remark that we deem it e
sufficient answer that appropriation IS Indis'
pensable to the production and accumulation
of wealth, to the progress of civilization, and
the welfare of the human race therefore it
is right"
Yes. But that is the very question in dis
pute, Mr.. Walker: Is it true that appro-
piiation is indispensable 20 the accumulation
of wealth, ETC.? b.

IS THERE SIN IN HEAVEN

The Christian at Work says: g Is there
sin in heaven? The inquiry may seem
strange one, but it is pertinent in view OF
the opinion which the Christian Leader
(Universalist) advances on the question.
Rev.sDr. Ryder, in an Occasional Sermon,
printed in the Christian Leader, says he
sees no occasion to assent to the assump-
ton that sin enters the immortal world
which is very mild way of saying that
God does not divide with Satan the sove
reignty of heaven. But the Christian
Leader deniurs. 1t is i'm possible, it says,
to conceive of being conditioned to pro-
gress in righteousness, who shall not al
ways have the liberty Of doing wrong.
The liberty of doing wrong means, of
course, opportunity. And it is unnecessary
to argue that when the opportunity to sin
is open, only those will refrain who have
become established in righteousness. And
it expressly adds We have the same
reason for believing that there will be some
sin in the immortal state, which we have
for believing that sin will continue in the
mortal state, namely, the moral intirmity OF
men,. According to this view it would seem
as if heaven were sort of deodorized earth
the excessively wicked people disciplined
little and made better, and the unloyely
places made sweet, moderate sinners being
left to sin moderately. The truth is, this
view of heaven ignores the office and work
of the Redeemer. He comes net only to
save men in their sins, but from their sins.
The eternal life of Christ is the power in
the soul of believers that in death eradi-
Gates evil from the desires and SO the
sanctifcation Of the believer is completed
at death, and death itself made means of
grace. Any lower view Of Christ's work
dominates evil over righteousness, and
makes that work imperfect and incomplete.
1t is neither logical nor philosophical to
affirm that because there is the ability and
opportunity to sin the act OF sin must fol.
low. The man Christ Jesus, having a
reasonable soul, had the ability and 'op.
portunlty to sin nevertheless he was
sinless. II he lived sinless life on earth,
why cannot the saints live sinless lives in
heaven? Somehow we do not believe, nor
desire to. that Christ came into the world
that His disciples might be called from a
SHINING earth to a SHINING heaven. Rather,
we hold that Christ lived His wonderful
life that He might present His people be-
fore God, not bearing the heavy burden of
sin, and not having spot or wrinkle, or
any such thing, but holy and without
blemish' Not unnaturally, perhaps, we
prefer that sort of heaven"

Teachers i'm Council.

The New Haven Teachers association held another meeting Saturday afternoon. l.. l.. Camp of Dwight and Miss Mallory of Skin ner were elected members of the executive committee. The methods of teaching in the primary schools was illustrated with 8 class from Miss Phelps room of the West street school, the exhibition being very satis- factory. Superintendent Parish addressed the association and urged the advantages of the dictionary being used more by teachers. He also drew comparisons between the ad- vantages the children of well-to-do parents had over the children of poor people, and urged that the knowledge of each child should be considered by the teacher. Secre- tary Northrop, of the State Board of Educa- tion, next spoke. He favored the free use of the dictionary and approved of object teach ing. He advised that the older scholars should be taught to describe natural scenery pictures, etc., and referred to the advantages that the vicinity of New Haven afforded for outdoor descriptions, especially of East Rock, the top of which afforded one of the grandest panoramic views in the country.
 Professor Williams will address the next meeting. His lecture will be on Chinese Walls and the Chinese Provinces"

State News.

On Wednesday afternoon about o'clock smoke and flames were seen to issue from the roof of J. W. Bigelow & Sons turning and saving building one of the number known as the South Mills, of Litchfeld. An alarm was immediately given, and soon forty men responded, and with pails and water handy succeeded in subduing the flames. with the help of the storm of rain then raging. The fire started in room of the upper story, which was used as drying room, and if it had not been discovered just as it was, would have burned the buildings and cluster of other buildings near it, and the loss would have been heavy. As it was, the loss will be between $500 and $4O0 in damage to the building and timber which was in the drying room
