will be made for the present. How.

couple Of millions to disburse on

the national government is to pay over
April lst T,25O,OOO as quarterly

that finances will become somewhat

CURED in 1870, the R. E. Lee made
the run from Helena to this port in 6
hours and 81 miuutee, and the Natohez
in 6 hours and A minutes. These
boats had made every preparation,
were trimmed for a fast run aud, of
course, much was expected of them.
The time made by them was the best
on record up to that date, the undis.
puted distance at that time being 80
miles. About four years later q cut of
was made down aboutCommerce, which
with other chutes, has lessened the
distance about 10 or Is miles. Now.
allowing that the K. E Lee came
through, keeping the main channel
distance 80 miles, her time was less
than IA miles an hour. The Kate
Adams was compelled, on account of
the rapidly falling river, to come
around Cow Island instead Of going
through the chute, as other boats had
done in running against time. She
travelled at least 30 miles, but as there
are some that believe it is only 70
miles from Helena to Memphis, we
will call it that, and by comparing
time find that the Kate Adams beat
the R. II. Lees run about mile an
hour. There may be other boats
somewhere in the west or south. that
are faster than the Kate Adams, but
she has set the pegs aud when they
are moved will willingly give up the
horns earned on Sunday last. We be-
lieve, as many others do, that the
boat is yet to be built that will beat
5:l8s from Helena to this port. The
Kate Adams has at least proven her
self to be the fastess FIVE boiler boat
now running, aud was built by James
Rees & Sons, of Pittsburg, who also
built the Will s. Hays, Jane Lee and
Dean Adams, all of which have shown
their metal"

The "NIOdern" Jewish Cateohism

Jewish Times.
2. In how many days did God Gre
ate the world?
A. The Bible says six days; but
modern science proves this to be false.
Q. How is the murder of Abel now
regarded?
A. As q case Of justi6able homicide,
committed in fit of momentary inA
sanity.
O. What can you say Of the mira.
Giles related in the Bible2
A. They are now regarded as hav-
ing been inventions of the priests,
intended to convince the people of
Gods power. Science now demon
strates that the laws Of Nature cannot
be set aside.
Q. What does the Commandment
Honor thy father and thy mother"
teach usp
A. This Commandment teaches US
that while we are little children, and
do not know what is for our good, we
mast pay respect and obedience to
our parents, but when we grow older,
and become wiser than our parents
we need not do so any longer.
Q. Thou shalt not steal?"
A. This Commandment teaches US
that it is very wicked to commit small
thelts, such as picking peoples pock-
cts, stealing from our schoclmates,
etc., but we may rob bank, sbscond
with our employers funds or swindle
people out Of large sums. These are
only slight Irregularities; not thefts.
q. Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it hOly?"
A. This Commandment teaches us
that we must not do any hard work on
Saturday. We may, however, keep
our stores open if our business re-
quires IL drive out or go to the matt,
nee or dancing school.
Q. What is the sec ond Command
ment?
A. Thou shalt serve no other God
but me" etc.
q. Do we strictly observe this
Commandment?
A. We do; aud for fear Of trans,
crossing it have adopted the safest
course-of serving none at all.
q. Why do we not adhere strictly
to the laws Of Moses9
A. because those laws we're made
Tor oldon times, and are not suitable
to our advanced civilization,

RESTORING PAINTINGS.
'DeSOtO Discovering the Missis.
SipPi" In the Hands of an
Artist.
Special to the Courier journal.

OFNNAeA " tA9 OOuEleI' JuuTuhl.
WASHINGTON, March l9.-The
most conspicuous object inside the
Capitol at this time is an unsightly
rough board fence in the rctunda
about twelve feet high, inclosing upon
three sides an area Of about four or
five hundred square feet, the fourth
side OF the inclOsure being formed BY
that portion of the wall Of the rotunda
upon which has been hanging the large
painting "DeSoto Discovering the
Mississippi" The Enclosure is the
temporary study of Henry N. Barlow,
an artist and long established dealer
in works of art, of this city. The
great picture, covering more
than go square feet of canvas, has
been taken from its place upon the
wall and now lies upon its back in the
center OF the inclosure, ready for the
first step in the delicate and difficult
task of restoration. Mr.. Barlow
asserts that the term restoration" is
misapplied to the process of painting
over an old picture by a new artist,
inasmuch as the work OF the original
master is by the operation covered up,
and the picture becomes one by Smith
or Jones, as the case may be. The
work he has undertaken is, however,
one of restoration. 1t leaves all Of
the original handiwork which has not
been carried away, and puts it in a
condition to withstand the effects of
time. Three of the large paintings in
the rotunda are to be restored this
summer. The remaining FIVE were
restored by Mr.. Barlow several years
ago. This work is made necessary by
the fact that the canvas becomes rot
ten in the lapse of years, and not only
cracks and mars the beauty OF the
work, but from weakness renders
more serious injury from accidents
probable. Most or all of the large
pictures in the rotuDda have been re.
produced in miniature and printed
upon the backs Of the national paper
currency, and have been thus made
familiar to people everywhere.
