Obituary.

the 22d of June, 1850, and departed
this lite in Wood county, West

LET US SEE how does the Democratic
non-partisan plan in filing the new
offices created by the late Legislature
stand by this time? So far as we can
think of, there have been six new offices
created directly, TO say not hing abou,
as many more indirectly. Those tina,
have been created are:An Assessor, tire.
Water Commissioners, Municipal
Judge and Municipal Court Clerk--six
in all Four of these have alread '
been filled. How do they stand pOliti.
cally 80 far AZ made? First, William j
Maxwell, Democrat, has been appointed
Assessor of the new assessment district
Second, William T. Porter, Democrat
Lewis Paynter, Democrat, and Cesar A.
Rodney, Republican, have been appoint,
ed Water Commissioners. This fills
four of the six newly created offices,
and politically they stand three Demo
Gratis and only one Republican. But
there are two more to appoint yet. If
they are both Republicans then each
party will be equally represented, and
then we will begin to have some faith
in Democratic .partisanship. But
will they he Republicans? Well, not
very much.

The FALSE
AND
TRUE IN ART f!
~:..:t:..,tt..;-

lOI tllC llISt llInc really
awakened. This impulse
D.. made itself felt in every
y branch Of business, and ir
3 none more markedly than ir
the department Of Wall Pa.
pering. A departure wa:
made radically from the Ole
stereotyped styles Of provin.
cial times; flat colors, i'm
possible combinations, and
absolute disharmonies gave
way to a new world in which
DESIGN became at once a cen
tral factor. To-day the wall
paperer will talk to you in
d; telligently about d e S i 6 n,
: about the relative values of
; light and shade, about the
due proportion and balance
of color, and will make you
conscious that he is no longer
subservient to mere routine,
but has opene e d up the
wide field of originality, and
has made his profession not
only commercial but educa-
tIonal. So thorough has
been the revolution that
where once a slavish atten-
ton was paid to minuteness
of detail, now all the cunning,
and skill, and study of the
artist are concentrated to
produce one result-a result
very happily expressed in
the suggestive word EF-
Feet. SO intensified has
become the strain of this one
idea that it gives character
and defnltencss to the small
est details, and everything is
now judged in the light OF
its possible effect and the
possibilities of effect have
been made so general that
you are no longer forced to
decide between the dead
level Of uyllness on one side,
and the washed out, neutral
prettiness of the common
place on the other; on the
contrary, you select your de-
sign and when the combina-
ton is completed you feel
that the wall and ceiling
breathe to YOU an atmos-
.pherc of artistic harmony.
But with the advance Of
the righteous in art there
is also a revelation of the
unrighteous, for there are as
moral values in art as else
where. 1t so happens that
a great deal of sham art is
abroad, and art which on in
speCtlon is no art at all, but
simply base limitations OF
vulgar attempt to brlbe the
mind and eye with the idea
of effect. TO a certain cx-
tent the effects attained, but
while it is effect 50 far as it
goes it does not 90 far
enough, it does not become
permanent, it is not there
fore ctiectIal.
An examination will show that
effect has been attained at the
expense Of truth IN art. that cv-
cry Fundamental principle Of col
or and drAwing has been sAcri-
feed, and that the result, instead
OF being true erect, is simpI y Il
poor allrctatiom, lacking all the
true and cougruiaI things that
20 to ma kr art - moral H. well
as aesthetic force.
We have no desire to- write an
essay upon hUu," decoration and
the necessity Of having %cnUjnr-
ness IN art. but We An take the
opportunity t" put ourselves on
record as being cumscirntiouSIN
determined that. IN our dealings
with the educated taste Of VIII
mington. we shall make it our
aim to see that real and not sham
art shall be the testimony ofcVcrN

Theodore Parker and His Pupil.

In the life of Theodore Parker very
beautiful incident one day occurred. 1t
was before he was known to fame. He
was only teacher then, in Watertown,
/ think. He had among his scholars a
little witch of boy, whom no reproof
and no persuasion could induce to keep
himself in order. One day, after his
moro than usually troublesome conduct,
Mr.. Parker required the little fellow to
stay after school to be whipped. So the
time had come for this last resource of
the exhausted patience and skill Of the
teacher. According to directions the
little fellow held out his hand for pun
ishment, and as he took it, Mr.. Parker
said. he looked down into the little face,
and the boy looked so much like his lit.
tie sister, whose conduct was all right,
and who had won Mr.. Parker's love-he
stayed the rod and stopped down and
kissed the innocent lips that were ready
to break forth into crying, and sent the
pupil home. Is it probable that he was
worse boy after that? Somebody
knows who this boy was; man, if living
now; I wish We could learn from him
tie effect upon his life of that kiss of

slowly and so near, always holding up
his proud, majestic head, that said -

the utmost caution neared the lion, q

the man. At this critical moment he let
the whole charge in at the lions ear and
fortunately killed it. Then, of course,
we all came down, and now the Arabs
began insulting him: '.You robber, you
thief, you stole my sheep; you dishon-
orable brigand, you murdered my
lamb, etc., etc. I don't know whether
the lion despised ealumny, but he re-
piled nothing, which seems the most
practicable means of silencing gossiping
tongues, and after cutting his head of,

A Lion Story.
"You see that corn moving?"

"You see that corn moving?"
'Of course do"
"Well, that is the tail of the lion beat
ing the ears"
We wisely halted to learn the enemy's
intentions, when with incomprehensible
stupidity one of the Arabs shouldered
his rife and shot it off in the direction of
the lion. Even if that rife had been
Devismes or a Lepage, unless the Arab
had hit the lion between the eyes, the
only result was the wounding and excit-
ing the lion. The consequences had not
long to be waited for. The lion in
stantly began bounding forward in fear
full strides, and our courage being equal
to the occasion, we climbed up the near
est trees as quickly as we could, consid-
ering discretion the better part of valor.
But the lion had seen Us, and he ap-
preached like steam engine. AS fate
would have it, he looked round and chose
the tree on which I sat with two
Zouaves, roaring tremendously, and
wildly beating the air with his tail.
He then went few steps back. never
for one moment losing sight of US, and
with a sudden bound jumped at the tree
and tore big bit of bark aDd wood out
and shook us In the branches like grapes.
A second time he tried the same expert
ment with rage grand TO behold; but
after the third time, failing to break the
trunk, which fortunately was very solid
one, or to make us fall down, he began,
first in large circle. then gradually in
narrower ones, to pace aound the tree,
his tail always in the air ready to strike
He never for moment turned his eye

roof. I confess here, that did not feel
comfortable, and if any one tells you he
met lion and he was perfectly calm and
composed. take his narration ''cum
grano Sails" know that Jules Gerard
who killed eight-snd-twenty lions, and
who made that sort of thing his pro-
fession, once. only once in his life, after
having waited whole night for lion,
suddenly heard some wood cracking be-
hind him, and turning round. beheld the
head of the beast. Then he said, II
looked at him and he looked at me for
what fancy was full minute. but may
have been half minute or less, and
when thought the comedy had lasted
quite long enough, bringing my rife into
position, let the whole courtesy" this
was his expression) into the lions eye,
and have no doubt that one second
later it would have been-too late"
Anyhow, We felt curions sensation
| with this monster so near and seemingly
80 determined to wait any length of time
for he looked up at us with the clearest
possible expression, as much as to say !:
You just come down, you towards, and
let Us have fair fight; we will soon see
who will get the best of it. And he con-
tinued slowly walking around the tree,
! watching as as if to espy every move
