ART EXHIBITION,

Some of the work of Miss Nettie
Scott's class, il now on exhibition at
Beatty's store, and while we do not
consider our critical ability in that line
as ut all reliable, yet the collection
strikes us as decidedly superior, the
more So when we consider the short
time the class has been engaged in the
study. They were only put up yesterday
morning and we find ourselves with too
little space to make the individual
mention which the pictures richly
merit.
Mrs Stover's "Errand of Mercy, is
a very strong and expressive picture.
She also has pretty flower panel and
a magnificent piano spread done in
Kensington work. Mrs. Slower is an
untiring student and will make a
painter Of rare merit.
Miss Metiea Brewster's "BelOw Har-
per's Ferry" and "a Cool Retreat,
are two of the most ambitious and best
executed.pieces in the collection.
Miss Blanche Gains talent in this di-
r,ction has long been recognized. A
mong her work we notice two eXquis-
it panels, A Gray Morning., and" Au-
tumn Weather." and a handsome
plaque copy, Moonlight OH the Nile"
Miss Belle Scott exhibits "Zu
Kirche, ""Lake Geneva" and beauti-
full poppy panel.
Miss Josephine Rodman has an old
gold banner, a beautiful painting OH
silk and also "Seine Fishing, a
plaque.
Miss Mamie Pugh has an exquisite
flower plaque-''Primroses and Willow
Blossoms.
We have not had the pleasure of see
ing Mrs. r. 3. Stevenson's last pic
ture, Moonlight in the Glen" but it
will probably be among the collection
by the time this article appears. 1t
is spoken of with great admiration by
all who have seen it, and is unani-
mously pronounced one of the best in
the collection. Mrs. Stevenson has
great natural ability in painting.
Miss Laura HendersOn's Autumn
Weather" and flower plaque, are ex-
ceedingly we'll done-especially for 30
very young q lady.
It is perhaps fortunate that our lack
of space prevents US from dwelling in
detail upon particular "points' in
these pictures. We should probably
make some very astonishing Observa-
tons. Yet we do not think it unsafe
TO say that this exhibit-the first of its
kind In Iola-is a credit to the town
and to the ladies represented.

An alarmist cry has been raised by a
missionary lately returned from China
as to the spread of opium-smoking in
London. The Rev. George Piercey.
whose pamphlet, 1.-THE Chinese in Lon
don,' has recently been published at
IS Paternoster Row, asserts that
opiurn-smoking is on the increase in
London, and that unless vigorous meas
ures are taken forthwith we shall be
face to face with vice compared with
which even intemperance is compara-
lively innocent. Six opium dens, he
says, are known to have been in exist
ence in the east of London in 1881, and
their number has probably increased.
As yet. although he believes the num-
Der of secret ''lay-outs" for opium
smoking is increasing, it is not in this
country but in America where the
growth of opium smoking can be most
clearly traced in all its baneful conse-
quences. There are twenty opium dens
in New York, and no fewer than 20, 1000
white men and women who are regular
or occasional opium smokers in the
United States. In San Francisco the
vice early assumed such serious dimen-
sions as to lead to special legislation
against it. The opium smokers not Of
Chinese extraction in that city are said
to number 200. In New York they are
800 strong. "All towns of any note in
the United States. and more especially
in the West have their smoking dens
and their habitues. Regular opium
resorts have been established at Mar
burgh, and at Philadelphia the opium
parlor kept by Mrs. Chism, a pale, re-
fined-looking woman about thirty-five
years of age, is said to be frequented by
some of the wealthiest ladies in the City
of Brotherly Love. Much more lauda-
mum is taken in England than most
people imagine, and it is quite possible
that the habit of opium smoking may
establish itself in this country. As yet,
fortunately, the opium business is not
q vested interest with which it is dan
gerous to NEEDLE, but who knows what
may not come to pass in the next dozen
years?--PdH Mall Gazette.
