Il BORN ARTIST.

From the summer in which the Bar
berrys took young artist to board with
them, who, when lie went away, pre-
sented his paint-box to the admiring boy
who had followed him about from dawn
until dark, peace fled the Barberry resi-
dence. Fsnces, barn-doors, halls
goodness only knows what !-bore trace
of figures, flowers, trees, cows, and
buildings in all colors Of the rainbow.
When scolded, Barberry, Junior, only
replied, "Well, then, give me canvases
and paint-brushes. l want to be q
painter" :"
"What kind of o business does thee
think painting would be for man p
asked Quaker Grandmother Barbery.
"To sit twiddling thy fingers all day at
at easel II thee doesn't want to be
farmer, we'll prentice thee to thy uncle
Charles, the halter. That's light and
easy, and thee is delicate"
So the Barberrys, taking counsel to-
gether, decided that grandmother had
had "call to speak, and placed Dud-
ley with the halter.
He worked patiently enough, but
painted more than ever in the evenings,
for Uncle Charles was liberal, and he
had little money Of his own in those
days.
On Christmas he came home, and was
received kindly, and found his little
cousin Clara in the house--an orphan in
. black frock, whose parents had been
lost at sea.
The child liked the boy very much,
and he painted her old dolls face into
new beauty for her, and put red flower
on the back Of the dolls chair.
She admired his work very much as
he Ind admired that Of the artist who
had given him his first colors. Ee was
a hero to her, and genius, as we'll as
the kindest boy living.
Wandering about the house one day,
he found q great pottery pie-dish, and,
forgetting its purpose, spent whols
bright morning painting upon II a splash
ing but spirited likeness Of his mothers
favorite geranium, which stood in q pot
on q stand.
II was wonderful success In the eyes
OF little Clara; and, indeed, it was not
bad, for little practice goes good way
with born artist, and winter Of study
without master had greatly improved
the young fellows work.
you're great, great artist, Dudley"
said Clara. ~ think you will be famous
some day. I've read the Lives OF
Famous Painters.' Phe big brown book
in the case in the parlor. When you are
grown up, Dudley, You will remember
what say"
She WAS 19, Dudley was 16. He lifted
up his head from his work and looked
at her.
IF ever l nm, Clara" he said, "I
hope shsn't have to remember you.
hope you'll be there where / am.
never knew anybody before who under
stood me"
A voice sharp and shrill with anger
broke in upon the pleasant talk-Aunt
Martha's voice" Gee-russlem Dudley
has spoiled the biggest pie-dish |"
That afternoon Qusker BarbeTy
whipped Dudley. That evening the
boy did not come 10 supper. Later on,
when the moon had risen, little Clara,
who had gone TO her own room TO cry,
heard tapping at the window. She
opened Il and looked out Dudley stood
there.

A New Mexico nd-St0rm
From the Albuquerque Journal.

The sand-storm, of which we had
very lively sample yesterday, consti-
tutes the one and only disagreeable
feature of our New Mexico climate. But
this doesn't come often nor remain
long, and disagreeble as it is when It's
visits occur, it is paradise itselfin COM
parison with the cyclone of the Mis-,
sissippi Valley, scattering death and
destruction IN their pathway, and is in.
finitely less disagreeable and uncom-
Portable than the driving snow-storms
Of the North, the marrow-chilling east
winds ofthe Atlantic coast, or the maud
that envelopes the earth for weeks at
a time, throughout North, South AID
East. The sand-storm is never uncom-
fortably cold, it is never muddy, and
never strong enough to be dangerous;
it is simply "dirty"-and that expresses
all of 1t. 1t fills your mouth, and nose,
and eyes, and ears; it piles up drifts
Of sand on the lee sides of fences; Just
as drifts of snow are piled up in New
England, though not to so great a
depth; 1t fills the air with sand every
where, indoors and out; it covers the
counters and desks and goods at your
store, and the furniture and even the
dishes at your house; the tightest win
dows are not proof against it; it comes
Ill under the doors and around the
frames, and filters through the most
infnitesimal cracks, through which
you would think the air itself could
not penetrate; the atmosphere of your
room is filled with it, and the paper
upon which you try to write is covered
with it; like "the gentle dew of
heaven" it falls alike upon the just and
the unjust, and falls everywhere; it is
useless to fight against it, and your
best course is to make up your mind
at the start to endure it, andto say in
the words of Patrick Henry, Let it
eomel" But, after all, it clean dirt;
it doesn'tsoil anything. The blow lasts
usually from one to six hours, and
when it is over all you have TO do is TO
shake yourself" busting and sweep
ing will remove all vestiges of it from
house, clothing and furniture; every
out door nuisance, every atom of decay
ing animal or vegetable matter, every
fostering spot, everything that could
contaminate the atmosphere, is care
fully buried, and the air, purified and
electrified by the sand. is SO luxuriously
exhilarating that the breathing of it is
a joy which you feel more than COM
pensates you for all the disagreeable-
ness of the storm.

THE FIRST VICTIM.
Joe Brady Hanged at Dublin
for the Phoenix Park
Murders.
The Condemned Man Firm and Tn
daunted to the Last.
Opinions Of New York AgitatGrs as to
Modes of Retaliation.

DUBLIN, May 17.-Joe Brady was
hanged at eight o'clock this morning.
A vast concourse gathered outside the
prison yard in which Brady was hanged.
A strong force of cavalry, infantry and
police were present to preserve order.
There was no attempt st disturbance,
however.
The morning opened beautifully, but
there were showers at about the time
the execution took place. Brady rose
at 6 o'clock. At e35, Canton Ken
nedy, of St. James Church, and Father
0 Reilly, administered the sacrament
to the condemned man. The three ~
mained praying until the arrival of the
hangman. Brady submitted quietly
while his arms were being pinioned,
and walked slowly and unfinchingly to
the scaffold.
TIE black flag, indicating that the
execution had taken place, was hoisted
over the prison at three minutes past s
O'Clock. Almost i'm mediatety after the
black flag was raised a hearse and
caches with mourners were seen at a
distance, coming II the direction Of the
direction of the rison. The police,
however, interferea and prevented the
vehicles from approaching. Therehad
been reports circulated that after the
hanging Of Brady his friends would en-
deavor to excite the people to a dem
onstration by parading an empty hearse
through the city.
Brady was visited by his mother last
evening. She was heard to excla1m: ::
"Mind, Joe, no statement"
Brady smiled and replied: "Don't be
foolish: do you think [ an fool?n It
is stated that the mother threatened to
dlsown her son if he gave the govern
ment any information.
a wreath of flowers was received by
Brady, to which was attached q card
bearing an expression of grief at his
fate from the Irishmen living IN Liver
pool.
Brady made no statement to the jail
chaplain or to the governor of the
prison. One Of the last things he did
was to write letter to his mother. He
carried a prayer-book in his hand to
the scaffold, and was thoroughly re-
signed and firm. His bouy feIl nine
feet and his death was instantaneous.
He was dressed in the same clothes he
wore during his trial.
The number of persons in the crowd
outside the jail, it is estimated, reached
a hIndred thousand. The tbrong is
said to have been even greater thaa any
of those which collected when the exc
cutlons were public.
At the moment the black flag was
seen over the Jail the cry was raised of
Hats off!" and every head was uncov.
cred. The crowd shortly afterward dis
persed quietly.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that Brady's death was caused by a
rupture of the spinal cord.
A Jurvman stated that the features
of the dead man were slightly swollen
and his eyes protruded. His tongue
was half cut in two between mis- teeth.
