THE FALSE
AND
TRUE IN ART !

OhuOl CdC iii puloC Vi Jul
Centennial year the possibili-
ties OF Art in America were for
the first time really awakened.
This impulse made itself felt
in every branch of business,
and in none more markedly
tran in the department Of
Wall Papering. A departure
was made radically from the
old sterl otyped styles of pro-
vincial times; flat colors. i'm
possible combinations and alb
solute disharmonies gave way
to a new world in which DE-
sIGNssbecame at once a central
factor. To-day the wall pap
erer will talk to you intelli-
gently about design, about the
relative values OF light and
shade, about the due proper
ton and balance of color, and
will make you conscious that
he is no longer subservient OF
mere routine, but has opened
up the wide field of originality
and has made his profession
not only commercial but edu-
cational, So thorough has
been the revolution that where
once slavish attention was
paid to minuteness of detail
now all the cunning and skill
and study of the artist are con-
centrated to produce one re-
sult-a result very happily ex-
pressed in the suggestive word
EFFECT. So intensified has
become the strain OF this one
idea that it gives character and
definiteness to the smallest de-
tails, and everything is now
Judged in the light of its posi-
BILE effect, and the possibilities
of effect have been made so
general that you are no longer
forced to decide between the
dead level of ugliness on one
side and the washed-out natural
prettinesss of the commonplace
on the other; on the contrary,
you select your design and
when the combination is COM
pleted you feel that the wall
and ceiling breathe to you an
atmosphere ofartistic harmony.
But with the advance of the
righteous in art there is also a
revelation of the unrighteous,
tor there are as moral values
in art as elsewhere. 1t so
happens that great deal of
sham art is abroad, and art
which on inspection is no art
at all. but simply base imita-
ton or vulgar attempt to bribe
the mind and eye with the idea
of effect. To a certain extent
the effect is attained, but while
it is effect SO far as it goes, it
does not go far enough, it does
not become permanent, it is
not therefore efectual. An
examination will show that
effect has been attained at the
expense of truth in art, that
every fundamental principle Of
color and drawing has been
sacrificed and that the result,
instead of being true effect, is
simply a poor afectation, lack
ing all the true and congenial
things that go to make art a
moral as well as aesthetic force.
We have no desire to write
an essay upon house decoration
and the necessity of having
genuineness in art, but we do
take the opportunity to put
ourselves on record as being
conscientiously determined
that, i'll our dealings with the
educated taste of Wilmington,
we shall make it our aim to
see that real and not sham art
shall be the testimony of every
incident and detail of our work.

EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK.
Death Of a noted Colored Man.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 7.-Ransom
Montgomery, an old colored man, ex
tensively known, died suddenly in
this city of paralysis of the heart. In
l845 Ransom was a slave and living
on the Deforr Ferry place near the
Chattahoochee River bridge. One
day soon after the Western and At
lantic Road was started he saw the
bridge on fire, and he left the ferry
boat and proceeded to the scene. He
found that the watchman bad gone to
an election, ,..and that the bridge caught
fire from passing locom olive. He
worked with great energy the entire
day, and succeeded in saving the
bridge. For this act he was purchas-
ed and given bis freedom by the State.
Shermans men tore his house down,
but after the war he built it. When
the State Road was leased the new
management dismissed Ransom, who
had been oyertaken by age. He was
also turned out of is house. The
last session of the Legislature voted
him $l5 a month. Gov. Mcdaniel
will pay the expenses of the funeral.

Man Stronger Than Horses.
rom the Auburn Dispatch. !

From the Auburn Dispatch.1
Mervine Thompson, the champion
. Canadian wrestler, gave an outdoor ex-
hibitiOn of his great strength recently.
He said that he would pull against any
team of horses in the city or county, and
would give 800 to the owner OF the team
if the horses succeeded in pulling him
from ladder. a harness resembling Il
pair of shoulder braces, only a
great deal stronger, was thrown over
his shoulders and around his waist,
with two large straps left dangling from
the small of his back. Then lying face
downward upon the ladder, fixed in a
horizontal position, securely lashed to a
telegraph pole, he grasped round of the
ladder with both hands and placed his
feet firmly against another fiat round at
the foot of the ladder. A team wa s
hitched to these straps, and then com
menced the tug of war. The large pair
of horses started, strained and tugged.
But in vain. The man could not be
pulled from his position. After making
three or four futile attempts this team
was removed and heavy pair of sorrels
were attached to the man They, like
their predecessors, could make no i'm
preston, and the man did not exhibit
the fsintest sign of weakening. Finally
one of the employees of Mr.. Webster took
