PHILADELPHIANs are bestowing much admlra-
ton upon painting an elk run to death by
pack Of gray wolves, the work of II. o. Tanner,
a young colored man. Some profess to see in
him the coming animal painter, but this may in
part arise from the fact that it is very rare for
any Of the colored race to turn to art.

CURRENT COMMENT.

IT seems that General Denver, who through
the inscrutable operations of a literary bureau
has been mentioned as a candidate for President,
IS endorsed as good man by Randolph Tucker
of Virginia, Gen. Rosecrans, Representative
Bedford, Cere Gordo Williams of Kentucky, with
whom he fought in Mexico, and other gentlemen
of Democratic prominence. Hon. S. S. Cox in
his glowing good humor says no gentleman of the
United States would be better candidate. Mr.
Cox says he has known him ever since he was
member of Congress from California. That she
is pure, honest, and incorruptible; of I'M
questionable integrity, and always plumb. His
executive ability is very rare. He governed
Kansas in very trying times, and has served his
country well. AS soldier his record is very
fine. He is brave man. He is a sound and
pure Democrat of undoubted standing Mr.
Bedford speaks of him as broad guage western
man, and all the rest praise him highly.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The chair
laid before the senate joint res
olution from the California legislature, urg-
ing the passage of the amended Chinese re-
striction act.
The following bills were reported favorably

a sea cook is a peculiar character,
requiring a special training. He must
know how to prepare sea-hash out of
salt-horse favored with onions, incrust-
ed with the variegaed browns of
polished mahogany, and savory enough
to create an appetite in stomach that
the tossing waves have rendered as
sensitive as the needle of a compass.
He must also understand how to make
eatable bread, and take his duff out of
the kettle on Sunday as light as cotton
and as delicate as sponge-cake. Be-
sides this, he must know how to econ
omize in the use of water and provis-
ions; and, more difficult yet, he must
contrive to keep the crew satisfied with
the mess he cooks for them, while at
the same time he looks out sharply for
the interests of his employer and the
captain. lie must also be proof against
the worst weather and undeviatingly
punctual to the hours of meals. 1t

easy thing to find such a paragon in

A SpeculatiOn in Cats,

Mr.. Thomas II. Williams, Jr., of
Stockton, Cal, having begun to buy
cats with the pupose of exterminating
the gophers that are laying waste the
fields of alfalfa on Union island, the
Sacramento Union tells a pertinent
cat story: Shortly after the discovery
OF the Comstock mine an old gentle
man was unable to meet q mortgage
of $500 on his place on Mormon
island. A stranger, stopping at his
door, saw several pretty kittens play
ing in the yard. He said "Those cats,
if you had them on the Comstock,
would bring you $50 apiece The old
man saddled his horse, and for the next
fortnight rode from house to house,
farm to farm, and village to village,
begging and buying cats. He got SEQ
and sold them on the Comstock mine,
and after he had paid off his mortgage
and put in bank $500 clear he told his
neighbors why he had wanted cats.
They no longer deemed him crazy on

Have Patience and Endure

inc limo had come: they met to part
In that lone churchyord by tho sea;
she took red roses off her heart
Her lover kissed them mournlully.
She was so sad, she dared not weep;
lie was too proud to she'd one tear;
She saw him fading down tho stccp; -.
Twas then hope whispered in hcr ear:
Be comlorted, though dark the nigh
For life is long, but love is sure;
Ills darkest ere the morning lght
"lIave patience, and endure"
Sad faded years! They mot no more,
The reaper reaped, the harvest fell;
There camo no tidlngs to the shore
Diane she moumed and loved so well
Another took her empty hand
In that lone churchyard by tho soa'
She looked across tho cruel sand,
And then she answered dreamily:
Take comfort, though the night be sad,
For life is long, but love 10 sure;
lo-uny ID uark, Io-lnoIToW eltl'
"Havc patience, and cndurc!"
The end ut last! A moment now
And she must yield, and lovo rcprcss;
She lacked upon his troubled brow,
And ritied al his f.ithfulncss.
Twas then, with roses in his hNnd,
Across the churchyard by tho sea
A happy lover came to land,
And sought maiden joyhlly
Take comfort! We no more can pnrt'
The r,in is past, my sorrow cured.
~ have had patience, sweet! my heart

The Casino of Monte Carlo is now
the most important part of the princi-
pality of Monaco; instead of being
subordinate to the palace, the latter has
become but an appendage to the mod
ern splendor across the bay. Monte
Carlo occupies site as beautiful as
any in the world. In front the blue
sea laves its lovely garden; on the east
the soft coa,t-line of Italy stretches
away in the distance; on the west is
the bold curving rock of Monaco, with
its castle and port, and the great cliff
of the Dogs Head. Behind rises the
near mountain high above; and on its
top, outlined against the sky, stands the
old tower Of Turbia in its lonely ru-
inel majesty, looking toward Rome.
From a spacious, richly decorated en-
trance hall, the gambling rooms opened,
by noiseless swinging doors. Entering
we saw the tables surrounded by a
close circle of seated players, with a
second circle standing behind, playing
over their shoulders, and sometimes
even a third behind these. Although
so many persons were present, it was
very still, the only sounds being the
chink, chink, Of the gold and silver
coins, and the dull mechanical voices
of the officials announcing the winning
numbers. There were tables for both
roulette and trente ct quarante, the
player beginning each day at eleven in
the morning and continuing without
intermission until eleven at night.
Everywhere was lavished the luxury of
flowers, paintings, marbles, and the
costliest decorations of all kinds; be-
yond, in superb hall, the finest Or
chestra on the continent, was playing
the divine music Of Beethoven; out
side, one of the loveliest gardens in
the world offered itself to those who
wished to stroll awhile. And all of
this was given freely, without restrict
ion and without price, upon site and
under sky as beautiful as earth can
produce. But one sober look at the
faces Of the steady players around
those tables betrayed, under all this
luxury and beauty, the real horror Of
the place, for men and women; young
and old alike, had the gamblers strange
fever in the expression of the eye, all
the more intense because, in almost
every case, so governed, so stonily re-
pressed, so deadly cold After a half
hour of observation, we left the rooms
and l was glad to breathe the outside
air once more.

The door and windows of tho cabin

our country the best students are the

in the halls of legislation, at the bar.
in the pulpit, ninety-nine hundredths
of men who stand upon the summit
were once boys on the farm. They
went barefooted, wore patched clothes,
and worked for their bread. Almost
half of the people in this country re-
side in towns. Where are the town
boys in the race of life? Fooling,
curling their hair, polishing their
boots, while the rough country boy is
plunging along to fame. With book
under one arm, and a few extra clothes
in his hand, he passes the elegant home
of the town boy, and he looks in on
ease and luxury almost for the first
time He may be called tramp, and
he refused a crust Of bread: one day
he will return and buy the mortgage

get his noble purpose and his unfalter-
