DostoofskY's PIGEON.

A writer in the Journal Kartag re-
lates touching incident in Dostoefsky's
exile life in Siberia. In the household
of certain officer, to whose charge the
novelist and other prisoners were at one
time committed, was a governesS, to
whom belonged a number of tame
pigeons. The governeSs was considered
to have great influence over the officer
and the exiles stood duly in awe of her.
though among themselves she was spok-
en- of as "Nyetka' Ga disrespectful
diminutive of Anna). "Nyetka' spigeons
used often to fly into our yard, says
the narrator, land many OF us looked
at them with covetous eyes. The ward
crs, however, kept sharp lookout that
we did not catch any OF them,
One young pigeon grew particularly
attached to DoStoefSky, who fed it reg
ularly with bread, so that it came every
day to him for its dole, At first the
warders were for preventing this, but
seeing that Dostocfsky meant the bird
no harm they winked at the slight in
diligence. One day the prisoners, on
account of some unusually lahorious
work upon which they had been en-
ployed during the day, were brought
back to the prison n little earlier than
the wonted hour. 1t happened that
they passed 10y the officers house ust
as thegovorness was feeding her pigeons.
A madcap thought came into Dostoefs-
kys head. He yielded to it, and whis-
tied his favorite to him. The birds all
rose in the air, and the prisoners pet
flew up to him and began battle-ground
his head The governess, enraged at
this, rushed straight up to Dostoefsky;
as it you, you scoundrel, who entice
away my pigeonsP You shall pay for
this" The narrator could not catch
the words of Dostoeisky's reply, they
seemed, however, to convey some I'M
prossive rcbuke. Contrary to eXpecta-
ton, Dostoefsky was not punished in
any way for his boldness. A fortnight
later the prisoners learned that Nyetka
had gone back to Russia taking her
pigeons with her. But the bird that the
novelist had attached TO himself contn-
ued to come to his hand. Whether it
had escaped and returned to him out OF
its own accord, or whether it was inten-
tonaly left for the poor prisoner by the
impulsive, but perhaps good-hearted
Nyetka. remained mystery. One
thing was certain the treatment of the
prisoners grew more harsh after her de-
parture. - AthenGUm

RETURN OF AN AMERICAN AR
TIST.

Waiter Shirlaw returnrd from his two
years trip abroad on the 18th Of Sep
tember. During this time he had stu
do in London, where he lived for some
time and exhibited in the Royal Acade-
my. Mr. Shirlaw spent winter in Flor
ence and made short trips about Italy.
He went to Holland, spent some time in
Dordrecht, and painted there. He was
also in Paris for some little time, and
took flying trip to Munich. Mr.. Shir-
law had taken studio in the University
Building, on the top floor, next to one he
formerly occupied, and will remain in
New York dnring the winter Mr.. Shr-
law expresses himself as perfectly salts
fed to settle permanently here, with the
privilege of making occasional visits to
Europe. Itwould be matter of much re-
gret if an artist who has shown so dis
tinctively American spirit in his work
and his aims should resolve himself, as
many others have done, into a semi
European painter and identity himself
with foreign art Mr.. Shirlaw's long
years of study abroad, notably in Munich,
and even his choice of foreign subjects,
did not rob him Of his genuine Ameri-
can quality, as was noticeable on the oc-
casion Of the exhibition of his collected
works in Boston some two years ago, just
before his departure for Europe Mr..
Shirlaw's career has been characterized
and magnanimous desire, for the adj
vancement of the interests of American
art. Both in Chicago and New York his
influence on the artistic development OF
the country has been marked His early
connection with the Art Students League
is known to every young artist in New
York. He was the originator and first
President of the Society of American Ar
fists. Like most men Of positive talent,
be has always subordinated his own sue
cesses to the advancement Of art imper-
sonally considered. Both in artistic
achievement and artistic spirit, Mr. Shir.
law is an important factor in American
art.-Neao York Graphic, 23d

ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY.

The New York Sun advises every man
who expects to be President'to move In
to one of the large States. With the par
ties go evenly balanced as they are now,
it thinks the nomination will not be
thrown away upon State of one or tive
Congressman power, like Colorado, Della
ware, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Oregon or Vermont, nor yet upon States
that are sure one way or the other, like
Massachusetts or Kentucky. Reckoning
| Pennsylvania as one of the doubtful
States prospectively, in view of the prob
able result of this years election, the Sun
concludes that both parties will pick their
candidates in 1884 from New York, lndl-
ana or Pennsylvania, provided that IN
either of these great commemorative a
Republican or a Democrat can be found
whose personal standing and popularity
offers rational expectation OF his carrying
off the state he lives in" The Sun can
never construct a really satisfactory pres
idential ticket without a reserved seat tor
John Nj. Palmer, of Illinois, and accord
ingly suggests that 'some allowance may
also be made for the possibility that pc
culiarly available man might change any
one of the great certain States II ne
should be put in nomination. For IN
stance, if General John M Palmer should
be supported for President by the united
delegation Of Illinois, there would be
good reason to suppose that his character
and personal prestige might alter the bal
ance of power in that Stale from being
certainly Republican, as it has been now
for long time, into probably Democratic;
and this consideration combined with
General Palmer's availability elsewhere,
might suffice to secure his nomination by
the Democrats. The Sun ought to
know by this time that General Palmer
had exhausted himself before he left the
Republican party, He never had much
sense or toughness of fiber, but made his
success such as it was, on common ar
ticle of gush. In 1867 he ran for United
States Senator against Lyman Trumbull
and "enthused the boys of the Legisla-
ture by declaring in public Meeting
that ''the goose hung high" and by COM
menting on the danger that MIR. Trum-
bull might suffer from the GOODNESS OF his
blood. General Palmer missed the Sen
atorship, but was elected Governor the
next year, and again in 1870, and was a
GOOD enough Republican until he found
that the Republicans had no further use
for him, and then he bestowed his smiles
upon tina Democrats, and they have been
happy ever since. There is only one way,
however, for him to carry the State of IL
linois, and that is the way that Atlas car
ried the worldly getting under it

According to the Paris Figaro, Pope
Leo XIII. frequently finds diversion from
the cares of his Office in the sport of bird
catching, which he used also to practice
much when he was Bishop, at the Villa
Passignani, on the shore of Lake Trasy-
meme The pontifcal bird trap is called
"Roccolo,' and is after this fashion: In
suitable part in the Vatican Gardens
have been planted two concentric circles
of trees. Among the branches of the in
ner circle are hung numerous cages con-
tanning song birds of various kinds, which
serve as decoys. Between the two rings
are large network snares, and in these
the birds, allured by the Gagged songsters,
are stricken with implements resembling
enormous battledores, by the hunters,
who conceal themselves beyond the outer
circle of trees.
