Handsome Painting.
For the REPUBLICAN.

While making a tour of inspection Of
the new and beautiful store of Messrs.
Humphrey & Bro. at 1902 Market street,
to-day, l was very forcibly impressed
with a painting (of q Newfoundland
dOg) which is recent production Of
Mr.. Harry Price, of Philadelphia. This
picture certainly deserves the atten ton
oflovers ofart;it is decidedly a. life like
as can be produced on canvass. The
handling shows freedom and boldness
of touch that is exceedingly effective,
while the surrounding landscape and
the entire composition is unusually fine.
The perfect blending of the colors is
undoubtedly illustrative of the truth
that "sor1e men are born artists" which
is much more to be desired than tn,
fallacy of dreaming that one is an
artist, without being able to convince
the art loving public of the fact The
store of Messrs. Humphrey & Bro, is
still open for the inspection OF the
public. The beautiful and artistic
arrangement of the whole interior can
not fail to please the taste of the most
fastidious. A LOVER OF ART.

Military men say that although there
can be no sentence of 'ulsmissal" IN the
case of a nOn.commissiOned officer
such as Mason, yet he can be "dlsuou
orably discharged, dropped from the
service" or 'cashiered." La case Of the
former sentence he will receive no char

sentences he can receive any punish.

At Greensburg, Pa, last night a
professional man spat in the face and
slapped the cheeks of the Rev. b. j.
Jennings, of the Episcopal church. 1t
seems that at the Junday school, OF
which the professional mans wife is a
teacher, Mr.. Jennings made remark
to the effect that the lady was untruth
full. Last night her husband heard OF
it, went to the reverend gentleman 5
room in the Zimmerman House and
made the assault. Mr.. Jennings has
been in 'hot water" for some time, but
this is the first open outbreak. He had
resigned his charge and his resig'
nation was accepted on Saturday. In
the early part OF his ministry here he
nearly in volved himself in an alterca
tion at the open grave of a dead mem
Der of his flock, aud ever since he ha:
been losing ground. The chastisemen'

What Capt. L. y. Blanks Says.

y reporter of the Times Democrat
had an interview with Capt. +. A.

of the same is published in the next
days paper, from which we extract
the following:
And what has the Ouachita Cousoli-
dated Line done to merit this kind of
treatment? In what have they sinn-
ed: Why, sir, through the eXertions
of the officers of boats the open orders
that were brought here, purchased by
the line and distributed by it through
out the Ouachita Valley in the past
twelve months, have saved to New Or
leans the greater portion Of 4 half mil
lion dollars, which would otherwise
have gone to st. Louis and other mar
kets, through drummcrs scattered
along the banks of the river.
You will find, sir, ten drummerS
from st. Louis, Chicago and other pla-
ces to one from New Orleans, so that
the principal reliance that this city has
for the drumming up of trade are the
officers of the Ouachita boats.
The owners of these boats have re-
pertedly furnished money to the coun-
try merchants and planters on the
Ouachita river to aid them in carrying
on their business after being refused
credit by the merchants of New Or
leans. However startling this may be,
it is nevertheless we'll known fact to
some of our most prominent merchants
here, and even in furnishing the money
the boatmen did so only on the condi-
tion that the goods must be bought
| here in New Orleans.
OF course we will not refer TO the fact
that when the people of the Ouachita
| river did need assistance in their eX-
| treme trouble in the late overflow they
found the Ouachita Consolidated line
at their doors ready and willing to
assist them.
Capt. Blanks remarks, says the re-
porter, were fully endorsed by Capt.
Carlton in every particular.
Respecting the tariff Of freights, Capt.
Blanks "thrust three thousand thisties
through the thick" of the merchants's IS
thum bs in this neat comment:
1t looks as if, in the making up of a
freight rate, that the representative OF
each trade put his individual line OF
goods at the lowest freight as an in
ducement to sell; but the tariff fails to
show where the representative agreed
to take otfany per centage of its profits
1t is presumed that country merchants
buying goods in New Orleans should
have control of shipments, but, under
the agreement, it seems that tho
merchants here insist on the control OF
that part also.
