Art Department Of Baptist Female
College.

The spacious studio was thrown open to
visitors on Monday afternoon, June 4, and
many appreciatfve persons embraced the op-
portunity to examine the work lone by the
pupils during the session just closing.
Owing to ill-health Miss GriRg was COM
PEELED, stthe close Of the first term, to resign
her position As teacher in the art department.
BY q fortunate circumstance, President Lam
neau was able to secure q most competent
successor. Mrs. L. Winter, who has already
secured the confidence and admiration Of her
pupils, the faculty and all who have become
acquainted with her in her special work.
A pleasant hour was spent as with cata-
logue in hand the visitor passed from one
piece Of work to another done in crayons,
water colors and oils in the various STYLES of
decoration SO attractive and pleasing.
Much skill, industry and talent were seen
in the exhibition which reflected great credit
upon student and teacher.
10 notice many that deserve mention would
be impossible in = short article, but the omis.
sion Of all would be inexcusable.
Collections by Misses Mary Duncan and
Stella Laws, of Kansas City, gave evidence of
interest in their work and the skill of ex-
psrienced hands.
Oil paintings and also drawings by-Miss
Herring, Of Marshall. No., were very credi-
table and Shove that the honor of having
received the medal for progress in painting
was worthily bestowed.
The beautiful collection of crayops and oil
paintings by Miss Fannie Cheatham, Of Lex.
ingtou, Mo-, deserve special mention This
young lady received the gold medal tor the
best drawings Her taste, and skill In ex-
ecutlon, are more than ordinary. Her
talent is Of high order, and il is crafty
ing to know that she is under the instruction
Of one who appreciates her efforts. An oil
piece, "The knight of the Red Cross,n was
particularly noticeable. In oolor, perspective
md execution this piece is worthy OFFS place
among more notable collections than are
usually found in our college studios. May it
have the effect Of stimulating the student to
= still higher conception of the "beautiful
art"
Very creditable pieces might be mentioned
dene by Misses Lutte Major, of Kearnsy, No.;
Maggie Mooney, of Coleman, Tex; Lulie
slusher, Of Corder, Mo-; Nellie Weston, of
Asnsas lily, NO., and others.
Crayons by Miss Blsnch Winter, daughter
OF the dirsctress, give great promise.
Pieces BY Hannah and Susie Lanneau and
frankie Stone deserve mention and show the
value of the class instruction given to all the
pupils in the primary department Of B. F.
College.
This plan Of instructing tho Younger pupils,
deserves liberal patronage, and special atten.
tton is called to its merits.
Mrs. Winter 10 = lady we'll qualified by her
proficiency her quiet dignity and apprecis.
tion Of her position as directress of this de-
partment, to sustain her high reputation; and
the Intelligencer is confident that the recent
exhibition Is but 4 beginning Of the sue.
cssses that must continue to attend the art
department of B. F. College.

without Sunday travel; nd the railroads,
Tx other industries which, after all, depend
largely upon human brain andmuscle, would
do rs much INC earn as much In the six DAYS
- they now do by encroaching upon the
seventh. The Way to dispense with Sunday
trains is not to patronize them. All this does
not prescribe any belief or course of conduct
for any one. it only gives tired humanity a
chance to rest nee q week.
Brownsville Herald:-"Marshall is in q
turmoil over the enforcement of the SUNDAY
law, which forbids all kinds of traffic on hal
day. A good deal of opposition has been de-
velopsd, and the outcome can not be told
now. If we may be permitted, we advise the
Sunday people of Marshall to sstick'-stand
or fall on the i~nyiolability of the day. Arv
law which secures to toilers of every kind ard
degree one day out of seven for absolute, un-
restricted rest-one day when every indiyi-
duaps soul controls its own personal body,
brooks no other MASTERS q wise, Just and
bensfcent law; and it ought to govern
throughout the republic. Now that they have
started, let the good people of Marshall hold
their ground. In standing solid for Sunday
exemption from unnecessary labor, they are
not only sustained by ancient and indisputa-
BILE authority, but they are right in line with
the public welfare clause of the last demo-
cratic platform. Rude hands have been busy
with the temple of American liberty, and its
tair proportions are not all that they once
were, but we still have left in this country

Let us Rcnsn,, rnrrthcr.

After all the republican party must win in
1881. And how2 BY securing POI electoral
votes. How can they be sccured2 Is it not
tho vital question: Can the north control
the election without a southern state2 Let
us sec We cannot afford to lose Now York
and Indiana. That would be fifty votes, and
only forty-cight northern votes would be
needed by the democracy added to a solid
south. We cannot afford to lose New York.
California, and New Jersey. That would be
nfty.two four more than enough to defeat u.s.
lfthc democrats carry New York and indiana
or New York, California, and Now Jersey,
and wo do not carry any southern votes We
are defeated. New Jersey has never given n
republican electoral vote, except in 1872, when
GREELEY, a republican, was Che opposing cam
didate. California has Just been carried by
the democracy by q majority so largo that she
must not DO depended on in 1884, though
she may DO redeemed. Indiana was car
ried by superhuman exertions in 1850,
and cannot DO counted upon in 1851.
New York went for SEYMOUR in 1865,
for GRANT against GREELEY, in 1872, for
600 in 1850, with united party. IfNew Y Yorli,
Indiana, California, and New Jersey should
go for the democratic candidate in 1884 they
would give him sixty-scven votes. Add these
to n solid south of 153 votes and the enemy
would have 220 electoral votes, or nineteen TO
spare. The margin, it will be seen, is very
slender, for we arc assuming, and as we
,s.,1- III
states of the north will be republican,
including those which went democratic at
tho last election, viz Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio Michigan, Wis
consin, Kansas, and Nevada. But therc.is u
way out of this peril. If we can be sure Of
twenty-three southern electoral votes, then
we can spare New York, Indiana, New Jersey,
California, and oven Nevada, and they num-
Der seventy electoral votes.
Upon broad and liberal basis of opposition
to bourbon reaction there would be cer-
tainty of the twelve votes Of Virginia,
and the eleven votes of North Carolina.
Why cannot the entire republican party of
the north welcome such assistance upon the
simple platform of u free ballot, free schools,
and hearty fidelity to the union? Is any
thing else involved? We submit that the
relations between tho state and her creditors
are not national concern, and that if those
who differ with the readjusters fail to see the
justice of their position, they still cannot jus
tify themselves in aiding the bourbons against
them. A simple examination of the financial
record of Virginia will vindicate her in the
Judgment of any man. But be that as it may,
ration preferable to determination with the
free ballot, free school, and law and order
party of Virginia? Wesubmt these questions
to those republicans who have not hitherto
agreed with THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN on
the subject referred to.

A CLEAN of legislative intelligence comes
from New York. Senator LANSING intro
duccd II bill about a week ago to prevent the
sale to lumbemen of forest lands in the
Adirondack region. The bill was appropri-
ately referred, and it was presumed that 1t
would slumber in committee files and there
die. But the senator evinces n spirit of ag-
grCssion in the matter which is highly COM
mcndable. lie is urging the subject upon
tho attention Of the assembly with vigor
which must be productive of legislation. 1t
requires but little effort to show the necessity
Of forestry legislation in that state by the
presentation Of facts and figures but it re-
qurcs patience and determined effort to com
pei the attention of statesmen and enlist their
support Representatives and senators have
but little time to devote to the study of alb
stract science, however important its bearings
may be upon their constituencies.
Ii is n noticeable fact that the wholesale and
wanton destruction of the forests in the north
ern counties is having marked effect upon
the annual rainfall and is seriously affecting
the navigation of the Hudson river. The bill
presented is wise measure, suggestive of
craftsmanship Of comprehensive order.
There is no subject to which tho attention OF
the public should DO more frequently called.
The destruction Of the forest lands in the
Adirondack region Is u mcnace to the agricul-
tuml interests of the Empire state. Every fall
ing tree lisa prcsagc of drouth Where no trees
grow tho waters never descend, except upon
the occasion Of destructive storms. Tho fell
ing of timbor is the Punishment Of moisture.
/ Every raft which floats la2ily down the stream
is an eloquent prophecy Of drought and fam
inc for future generations. Every blow OF
the axe upon the living tree is the kncll of q
drop Of lile-givng water, The moaning and
cracking Of each falling oak is II dirge and
requiem for the loss Of productive power. The
| bu2zng saws, which hum and whiz through
the inanimatc logs, are but teaching the les,
son Of iwcpamblo loss
| In all this there is meant no suggestion OF
| fault with our legitimate lumber industries
| Attention must DO called to the unnecessary
| destruction of timber lands, and the conse,
| quences which will inevitably follow. Tc
this there can be- there should be- no excep,
tion taken. There is so much wanton waste
and heodlcssness in the annihilation of oul
forests that il is time that halt be called
| The lands which are now covered with YER
durc, and which annually produce tho crop,
which might supply the world, are in danger
of stonlity, This would apply to the great
northwest country, as well as to New
York, All but tho most necessary
md intelligent reduction of our wealth o
timber should bo prevented. At tho sam,
time, if within the power of legislation, ther,
should bo enactments, and the enforcement
