promised, or as the public had right to expect
On the other side Of the Atlantic the prospect is
little II any more encouraging. The French Salon
Is disappointment, and q partial failure, as
compared with exhibitions of previous years-a
result that is no doubt partly due to the fact
that some Of the strongest men have sent in
nothing this spring. although many Others show
q marked falling off in quality. A like discOur-
aging report comes from Edinboro', where the
ffty-sixth annual exhibition Of the Royal Scot
fish Academy, now open, Is pronounced farfrOm
satisfactory. The Royal Academy of London
remains to be heard from. II it, too, shows a
decline, the outlook will, indeed, be depressing
and the gloomy view taken Of the situation By
those who give the matter most thought would
SEEM to be justified.
- The sale Of pictures by local artists this week
deserved larger attention and more liberal pa

haps none OF the examples offered were of a.

desire, many, and indeed most of them, were very
far superior as works Of art to those constituting
the sO-cAlled collections with high-sounding

has been generally recognized, but its practical
value in business aud professional life Is gradu-
ally being demonstrated. Mr.. Scribner numbers
among his pupils not only young men, but
middle aged business men and others who realize
that there is a saving of time and money for
them in the bicycle. One prominent business
man can be seen every morning astride machine
skimming along down town to his store and
after business hours there Is no doubt but that
he takes q quiet run along the moonlight streets
and comes back as much refreshed us If he had
been driving 81 coo team. This is not a sbli-
tary instance. and perhaps In the near future
the bicycle may become q recognized medium of
communication in the business part of the CITY,

for the use of ladies is very generally recog-

are rather cautious about going into an enter

"And did you have to mortgage the

tones. Oh, yes, and sold all my stock
in the Northern, aud hypothecated what l

"And was it enough?'' she asked,
trembling with eagerness. Was it

MORNING SESSION.

Black velvet breeches fourished when
George II. was King. Then a change
came DER the masculine leg. Somebody
with abominable calves, or probably with
no calves to speak of, took it into his head
to wear top boots. Everybody else fol-
lowed in his footsteps. The mode. makers
of the ages, thunders the London Ctron-
icIe of 1852, s'have taken an antipathy to
the leg, for their high-topped shoes and
long trouser- -breeches, with broad knee
band, like a compress for the rotula, leg
in high taste is not longer than common
councilman's tobacco stopper" Toward
the end of the last century doe and buck
skin breeches were much worn, and even
in walking it was the fashion to have
them so tight that marvellous gym
nastics were required to put them
on. Fancy gentleman exclaiming to
his tailor eff l can't get into them l
won't have them" On this side of the
Atlantic knee breeches disappeared about
fifty years ago. In England they are worn
by certain members OF the clergy and
reign as court dress. By the light of such
facts why should a nineteenth century
frenzy seize our population at the bare
mention of these garments, and why should
the wearing of them be regarded as ma
lignant form of idocy.? There are men of
brains, endowed with a love Of beauty,
who confess to a hatred of the ail-pervad-
ing trouser and to a desire that knee
breeches shall prevail as evening male at
tire. Why not Why should gentleman
and waiter go closely resemble each other
as to be undistinguishable Why should
color, grace, beauty, be confined to one
sex when the history of costume tells
us of times when the dress of
man charmed like that of woman? ?
Why do modern artists shudder when
asked to paint or to model contemporary
man? Because of the angular hammer
tail and the ungainly trousers. l have
heard clever merchant declare that the
decadence of sculpture was due to the dis
appearance of the human form and the
reign of unsuggestive clothes. Aye, it was
a New York merchant, who fell upon his
own garb and thus rent it asunder. There
is nothing whatever to be brought forward
in favor of trousers, except that they
serve to cover up bad legs. Men without
calves, when arrayed in the broadcloth of
the period, are as pleasing as Apollos. But
shall all male beauty be sacrificed to the
calfess? Cannot art assist Nature and
supplant proportions akin to the meager
pipe-stem? Men on the stage are no bet
ter formed than those off, yet they credit
ably endure the ordeal of knee breeches.-

ELECTRICITY as A MOTIVE POWER.

The Manufacturer and Builder says that
the development of electricity as motive
power is an aim which, though difficult of
realization, is yet strongly to be desired.
Its achievement is not very far off, if we
may take the utterances of some OF the
best authorities on the subject as conclu-
sive evidence of the probabilities of the
future. For example, NJ. Bonteux. presid-
ing recently at meeting of the Partisan
Society for the Utilization of Electric
Force, observed that the artisan who needs
little motive power for his work is forced
to seek it in the employers factory, while
thousands of workmen and workwomen
wear out their bodies and destroy their
strength in impelling sewing machines, the
lathe, and other motive powers of small
industry. The division of electric energy
is destined to effect an entire revolution in
this sphere The day will come, and
sooner than is imagined, when the artisan
family will see enter their dwellings by
means of a magic wire, the force which is
now SO costly to them, and this will be
the democratization of force for the bene-
fit of the working class The solution of
the question of motive force in mechanical
industries is, by this, apparently not far
distant, and it is curious to contemplate
the changes in our social and public ar.
rangements which such q development of
the electric motor would accomplish. If an
efficient, actuating agent for small ma
chimes of every kind could be readily
obtained and cheaply purchased,
what revolution would come
over the existing labor market !
How many work. shops for men and work
rooms for women would be closed, and
quondom employees supplied in their own
homes with the means of carrying on their
work in their own apartments. Without
attempting to foreshadow all that might
happen, certain it is that the cost of driv-
ing lathes, and machines of every kind,
would be largely diminished, and the means
and motive for extending their application
supplied. From all points of view, it is
much to be wished that this novel mode Of
actuating machinery may be developed SO
that its efficiency and economy may estab-
lish reputation, and be largely patronized
by both large and small employers of labor.

EriShfful and Damaging Storm.
MORGAN Cry Ua.l April 14th.-This ,ec-
tion was on Wednesday night visited by
most terrible storm, causing the water to rise
and destroy an immense amount of property.
The Ramo railroad bridge was carried away,
and at Davis mills about twenty dwellings
were destroyed, only one house remaining
standing. Along Bayou Teche the cabins
| and other small buildings were destroyed on
nearly every plantation. In Berwick a
school house was blown from its founda-
ton. Two oolored men were killed by fall
ing timber. Many persons had narrow
escapes from drowning. The destruction of
live stock was very great through large
section of country. The sugar.house of
FRANCHISE Bougere, in st. Charles Parish,
was blown down and negro killed.
On Gay i Daigre's place a sugar-house was
blown down and nothing has been heard of
eleven white refugees who occupied it. They
were j. &. Villon, his mother, brother, wife
and child Mr.. Hopacker, his wife, two chill.
dren. and unknown persons. All the furni-
ture was destroyed, but as no bodies have
been discovered. it is hoped the people fed
to the woods before the storm broke The
attempts to close the Landry crevasse
was abandoned when it was found that
twenty. five feet of pilings were carried away
by the storm. Wool Fork, Shady Grove,
Augusta. Trinity and Daquin are under
water. The loss to the sugar crop at Plaque
mine is about 8 coo bogsheads. The loss of
stock is 1.G00. The loss of stock at other
places is very heavy.
