The Art of Savages.


In the Magazine of Art is paper of interest
on "The Art of Savages," in which occur the
following remarks:
There is one singular fact in the history of
savage art which reminds us that savages, like
civilized men, have various degrees of culture
and various artistic capacities. The Oldest In
habitants of Europe who have left any traces
of their lives and handiwork must have been
savages Their tools and weapons were not
even formed of polished stone, but of rough
heWn flint. The people who used tools of this
sort must necessarily have enjoyed but scanty
mechanical equipment, and the life they lived,
in caves, from which they had to drive the
cave bear, and among SHOWS where they
stalked the reindeer and the mammoth, must
have been very rough. These earliest known
Europeans, "pal8olithic men," as they are
called from their use of the ancient unpublished
stone weapons, appear to have inhabited the
countries now known as France and England,
before the great Age OF Ice. This makes their
date one of incalcuable antiquity; they are re-
moved from us by clark backward and
abyss of time" The whole Age of Ice, the
dateless period of the polishers of stone weap-
ons the arrival of men using weapons OF
bronze, the time which sufficed to change the
climate and fauna and fora of Western Eu-
rope lies between us and spa@olithic man.
Yet in him we must recognize skill more
akin to the spirit of modern art than is found
in any other known race. PalBolithic man,
like other savages decorated his weapons; he
did not usually decorate them in the common
savage manner, with ornamental patterns.
He scratched on bits of bone spirited represen-
tations of all the animals whose remains are
found mixed with his own.
Todiscover how Greek art sprang in couple
of centuries from this coarse and childish work
to the grace of the Egina marbles, and thence
to the absolute freedom and perfect, unap-
proachable beauty of the work of Phidias, is
one of the most singular problems in the his
tory of art. Greece learned something, no
doubt, from her early insight into the arts
which the priests Of Assyria and Egypt had
elaborated in the valleys of the Euphrates and
the Nile That might account for swift
progress from savage to formal and hieratio
art; but whence sprang the inspiration which
led her SO swiftly on TO art which is perfectly
free, natural and godlike? 1t is mystery OF
race and of divine gift. "The heavenly gods
have given it to mortals."

THE subject of storm insurance is brought
up about once a year, when the tornadoes
have made their annual visitations in April,
May and June, and just now it is especially
talked of in connection with the cyclone
that swept over central Iowa week ago.
There is no very obvious reason why dam
ages from storms on land may not be in
sured against as well as those which come
from storms upon the water. 1t is the same
force of wind that wrecks vessel and un-
roofs house, and the waterspout is evil
dence that the cyclone travels on the ocean
as well as the prairie. The ordinary fire
policy only covers loss that actually comes
by fire. If house is blown down and
then burned, the insurance company pays
no more than the house was worth after it
was blown down and before the fire took it.
Some companies issue policies which cover
damage by lightning, even when there is no
fire, and the next step will be to insure
against damage from wind, hail and rain.

IT is declared that the free importation of
American cotton-seed oil into Italy is earn

In the case brought against the faculty of
Purdue University, the supreme court of In
diana has decided that the institution can
not refuse to receive student on the ground
that he is member of Greek letter socie-
ty, but that the faculty has a right to prohib
it such fraternities within the college, if
such societies, in their judgment, interfere
with the duties of the student or the proper
government of the institution. The opinion
was rendered by Judge Niblack, reversing
the Judgment below. Judge Woods, dissent
ing, held that the college authorities may
not only prohibit students already within the
colleges from belonging to such societies,
but may refuse to receive students who al
ready belong to them.

EASTERN DISPATCHES
Labor Trophles at Omaha.

OMAHA. March 8.-Ths Burlington
and Missouri Railroad Company re-
Gently purchased several blocks near the
levee to give them additional room for
handling freight and on which to erect q
large freight depot. Ten days ago James
Stephenson, who got the contract for
grading the grounds. put 100 men to
work at 81 25 per day. and In q day or
two struck for 81 so, which was concs-
ded. and they then demanded 81 75,
which was refused. Numerous meet
ings have been held, and all the laboring
men have stood BY the strikers. The
result 10 that the Omaha Labor Union,
composed OF over Q thousand members.
has been organized. and this Union has
fixed tho price Of common day labor at
81 rs per day In Omaha. An entbud.
astio meeting was held ct the Academy
Of Music last evening, and Il wal 70.
solved TO have o grand parade and dem.
onstration this afternoon, In which the
laboring men and mechanics and other
Unions should participate. On Monday
last the Darlington and Missouri took
hold Of the matter Of grading their own
grounds and ran . special train to this
city from Plsttsmouth with 100 laborers
and put them to work under the protsc.
ton OF atty special policemen. The
work continued all day. and ct night the
train with the men returned to Platts-
mouth. The same programme was car
ried ont yesterday and this morning
without disturbance; but this afternoon
the procession Of the Labor Union
finally marched to the Burlington and
Missouri grounds, and broke ranks. The
Burlington and Missouri workmen fed,
some leaving behind their coats and din.
ner pals. The horses were cut loose
from the scrapers and turned loose.
The tools were scattered in every direo-
ton. Thousands OF people stood on
the high bluffs. watching the riotous
proceedings with intense interest and
anxiety. The special policemen were
roughly handled. Ten stars were torn
from their breasts, and many OF them
were Obliged to leave the grounds.
II was finally announced that the Bur-
lington and Missouri would not attempt
to do any more work today. and q prom.
inent striker said they should do NO
work on any other day for less than
81 rs per day. The mob dispersed at 8
o'clock.
Considerable excitement prevails and
fears are entertained that the worst is
not over. Mayor Boyd will probably
call on Governor Nance for military pro-
lection for oil laborers who wish to 60
to work for the Darlington and Missouri
Company. It Ia likely that q strong
military force will be put on duty Of
