DEATH OF poRE.


TIE death is announced, in his 5ls5 year,
of Paul Gustaye Dore. By his death the
world has lost one of the brilliant masters
of art. OF all artists of modern times,
none have been the subject of more vary
ing criticism, and it remains to be seen in
what special category ne will be placed
in the realm of art. As a color
ist, in which role he first appeared
in 1858, he was the least successful,
but his illustrations, which he began at
the age of IL, have been the themes for
worldwide praise and admiration. They
were nearly all representative of the ex-
travagant in art, of the sensational and
restless French spirit, and these character.
istics were manifest in every stroke. His
" Wandering jew" Paradise Lost"
Dante's Inferno" "Atals, and "Tenny.
sons Idyls of tie King" are accepted as
the best examples among all bis produc-
tions. Among his color works, "The
Dream OF Pilates Wife and "Christ
Leaving the PIe'orium stand first, and
alone entitled Dore to occupy high seat
among the great exemplars of art, not
withstanding the technical defects that
have been so severely criticised in his
other works. Dore was popular in Amer.
lea, almost as much so as in his native
land. From the beginning of his career
he found in the New World enthusiastic
admirers. Dore was among the most in
dustrious of artists. H. is said to have
executed no less than AZ, 900 designs. He
seemed to know no fatigue, and his genius
never failed him in the evolving OF new
works and new forms of expression As
he grew older his pencil seemed to be i'm.
bued more and more with the fantastic,
weird and sensational spirit which made
all his productions stand out in such
broad, bold and individual light, distinct
and original in the realm of art, and bor-
rowing nothing from the past or present.

Affairs In France.

PARIS, January 24th.-The departure of
EHgenis attracted large crowd, who eviuced
a warm sympathy. Grand Duke Constantine
carried TO her private message from Presi-

undesirable. 1t is difficult to say whether
her departure was due to that message or the
persuasion of her friends, ell OF whom are
grieved by her imp.u lent action. There was
no deep-laid scheme in her coming, but hear.

was the only point of political significance in

BEER IN The FATaERLAND.

While the taste for beer seems to be
gradually giving away in England before
the growing attractions of more ardent
spirituous drinks, the robust appetite of
the German continues with undated zeal
TO patronize the malt liquor to which he
has been 90 long addicted. The statistics
of the empire show that last year the con.
sumption of beer within the Fatherland
amounted to no less than $4,000, 900 gal
Ions. Of this amount about "a, 600. OO0
were consumed in Baden, 10000, 900 in
Wurtemberg and 265 600, 900 in Bavaria {;
the rest being provided for Prussia and the
smaller states by ILL., 600 breweries which
are there established. The taxes on these
places of business amounted, one way and
another, to about ESQ, 900, besides some
f20, 600 levied on exports of beer The
proportion in which various ma
tionalities in the empire indulge
in their favorite drink is by no
means uniform. Thus the general average
is about eighty quarts year for each in.
dividual, and in the Kingdom of Prussia
the average is rather less than this. In
Alsace- Lorraine it descends as low as fifty
quarts. But every Badener drinks on an
average about ono hundred and seventy
quarts, or nearly pint day, and every
Bavarian at least two hundred. 1t is neces.
sary, to arrive at fair estimate of what
this means, to deduct from the total of
consumers in the kingdom many of those
who, living in the Palatinate, drink wine
rather than beer. When this abatement is
made, and allowance also given for the
women, who are not great topers, and such
children az are mot vet nurtured unon m II
liquor, it will be seen that the adult male
native of Bavaria who drinks beer at all

There is something inexpressvely pitful,
palsying all sense of enjoyment at public
places OF recreation, TO hear a trembling, con-
fiding wife endeavor in a pleading tone to
restrain her husband from jumping up and
sallyipg out in quest of liquor at the nearest
bar-room. A LIGHT scribe hears such ap-
peals as these where the fretting woman in a
whisper tries to hide the disgrace. "Don't,
my DEAR" "What did you promise mef"
"That cursed whisky" 81 told them you
never drank" etc. No matter what mans
appetite may be it is as monstrous to bring
his wife to theatre or opera, mar all her
pleasure and disgrace her by going out on
this GRAND. This is of nightly occurrence,

ladies, whose plaintive whispers ought to
