George w. Curtis on the American
Scholar.

Every year at the college commence
ment the American scholar is exhortedJ
to do his duty. But every newspaper
proves that he is doing it. For he is the.
most practical politician who shows his
fellow citizens, as the wise old sailor told
his shipmates, that ''God has somehow
so fixed the world that man can afford
to do about right" Take from the
country at this moment the educated
power, which is condemned as romantic
and sentimental, and you would take,
from the army its General, from the.
ship its compass, from national action
its moral handspring. It is not the dema--
gogue and the shouting rabble, it is the
people needing the word of the thinker,
and the lesson Of experience, which Sc
cures the welfare of the American re-
public and enlarges human liberty. lie
American scholarship does not carry the.
election of to-day, it determines the,
policy of tomorrow. Calm, patient,
confident, heroic, in our busy and ma
terial life it perpetually .vindicates the
truth that the things which are unseen
are eternal. So in the cloudless mid
summer sky serenely shines the moon,
while the tumultuous ocean rolls and
murmurs beneath the type of illimitabie
and unbridied power. But resistlessly
marshaled by celestial laws, all the wild
waters, heaving from pole to pole, rise
and recede, obedient to that mild queen
of heaven.

"Ah, but, me boy, look at the result |!
Go down to the Thalia Theater, where
they still do it, and, if only five years
have elapsed between the acts, see how
it is shown on every face on the stage. !"
cit is difficult to make up well, is it
not?"
"Well. no." said the actor, lighting q
fresh cigar and assuming a more con-
fidential pose !; "the rules are simple
enough, and with little practice, almost
any amateur could learn to make up ar
tistically if he has any eye for effect.
Some parts, like Romeo, Charles Sur
face, Sidney Darrell, and Claude Mel
notte, require very little makeup for q
young and good-looking actor. The face
and neck should be thoroughly covered
with white powder and the cheek bones
and chin lightly touched with rouge,
which should not he too red. Then, as
the lover ought to look handsome, he
should draw fine black line under his
lower eyelashes with camel-hair brush
and burnt lumber. This makes the eyes
brilliant. I'm sure it isn't much trouble
to make up that way"
"Other characters are harder,
though"
ooh, UNNECESSARILY so. But to make
mature man, like Cassie, Iago, Mercu-
ito, John Mldmay or Hawksley, it re-
quires only little more work. After
the actor has laid on the powder and
rouged his face pretty heavily-for
men are commonly rather red-faced-he
| must take his brush and Inner and
trace some lines from the outer corners
of his eyes, and other lines down toward
the corner of the mouth from the nose.
In short, he must make the crows feet
that are visible in all men who have
lived over thirty years in this tantallz-
ing world of ours. Then the chin
should be touched with little blue pow
der, which makes it look as if recently
shaved. These precautions will make
the most juvenile face look mature. Il

age, as in such characters as Lear, Vir-

sary. Heavy false-eyebrows must be
pasted on, and the eye-hollow darkeneG
and fairly crowded with lines. Wrinkles
must be painted across the forehead
burrows down the cheek, downward lines
from the corners of the mouth, and Every

painted around the neck to give it the
shriveled appearance common to old age
The hollow over the upper lip should bt

lower lip. This gives the mouth th'
pinched and toothless look. A little

them look fallen in and shrunken. The1

Indian always got the worst of it. In
whites agreed to give them $4,000 for fif-
ty-ive years, for the privilege of a wagon
road through their country for the Califor-
MA emigrants. Government paid this
amount for years, and then quit, and want
ed another treaty. This was in 1868, when
the next treaty was made, by which the great
father agreed to feed and clothe them for
thirty years, and he fulfilled his part of the
contract for eight years, and then the white
man found there was gold in the Black
Hills, and he must have it, and to get the
Indians to consent TO treaty the commits
sioners told them that as long as the earth
produced people with red skins the great
father would feed and clothe them; and,
believing this to be true, they gave up the
Hills, but at the time supposed nothing but
the Hills had been coded, but soon learned
that the white men had run the lines to
suit themselves.
Gen. Long told them they must give up
their ponies, but for each pony turned
over to the government they should have a
cow They turned in 3,073 ponies, and
were given 900 COWS. He wanted to know
where the balance of their c.ws had gone
TO. Ihey wanted the government to pay
first what they owed the Sioux before ask
ing for any more of their country. Their
reservation was now none too large; they
were increasing in numbers all the time.
During the month of July in his band
there were twenty one births and but one
death. He thought the white man would
never be satisfied as long as the red man
had foot of ground or place to live;
nothing but their determination would suit
the pale face. He concluded by saying
they would never part with a foot of their
country.
The only trouble the commissioners will
have will be with the hostiles, who are just
as hostile as ever, and think there is nc
way to live but by the chase. When not
hunting they do not object to the govern
ment feeding and clothing them-that is
all right; but they are minority and will
have little to say in the treaty.

 The special election in the Eleventh ward, Fair Haven, to dissolve the vote on Alderman takes place to-day. The polls will be open from a. m. to 5 p. m. The change of the voting place by the Democrats from the old convenient place on Ferry street to No. SC James street, the last street in ths extreme west side of the ward, has stirred the Repub- licans to new interest in the contest. The Republicans are not much pleased with this move, evidently in the interest of the oppo- sition, and it has stirred,u breeze among the Republicans of the ward, who, according to all reports will turn out in full ranks to- day The Democrats had workers out yes terday and the Republicans were not idle and both sides mean business. The Republicans
 say they will not be caught mapping. The
 candidates to be voted for are Mir. Arthur J. Weld, Republican, and Mir. William T. Por- ter, Democrat, of the Porter Stair Rail con- pany. The contest has & special interest growing out of the deadlock in the Court of Common Council which has existed since early in the month, for, if a Democrat is elected, there will be two Democratic commis-
 sioners chosen upon each of theseveral boards of commissioners, fire, police, and public works If Mir. Weld is elected the deadlock \ will have to be broken, and the board will
 remain non-partisan, as hitherto. Thus the
 election has special and important bearing on city politics. The Republicans have usu-

An Important Purchase.

Extension of Business by New Haven
 Manufacturing Concern-The Lindsay
 Fire Arms Building.
 The New Haven Folding Chair company on State street has purchased the land and shops, rear of Orange street, some years ago occu- pied as a manafactory by the Lindsay Fire arms company, and will occupy the premises for the enlargement of their business, retain ing their presen. manufactory. The pur- chase comprises a building SOx4O and two stories high with a foundry building at- tached, and a small one story building at the gateway on Orange street, formerly the of- fee of the Arms company and since used for private primary school. The property was purchased of the Scranton estate, the heire of which are scattered, some being in Pennsylva- nia The large building is to be built two stories higher and when ready branch of the business now conducted at the present shops, | viz, the manufacture of rattan chairs, 1 both of the folding and non-folding | kinds, will be carried on there. The ] increase of business compels the transfer, the l present room being all needed for the manu- fracture of invalid and folding chairs and pa tent rockers. The company made 10000 chairs last year. The chairs are in demand all over the world. The concern has an or
 der now for chairs for Athens, Greece, which
 are waiting the shipping directions. The
 company is the only concern in the State l which makes rattan chairs. The rattan, an
 article which school boys frequently become
 early acquainted with, comes from India.
 Another invoice of chairs goes to Australia in l day or two.
