Democratic Delegates from Washington.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April l5.-Wm Dickson and
E. d. Wright were chosen to night by the
Democrats of the District as delegates to the
Chicago convention, and are both Randall men.
Dickson will be rendered as the foreman of the
famous star route jury He was the leader of
the gang of Democratic strikers and thugs from
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia who
visited Indianapolis for the purpose of taking
part in the October election in 1880 but who
were given to understand that their services
were unnecessary and that any attemps on
their part to interfere with the rights of citizens
would be resented to the extent of spilling some
of their blood With the presentation of the
case they refraiued from visiting the polls, and
their mission was both frllitess and expensive
one to the Democratic management.

The Art OF Fresc0 Decorating.

The art of fresco decoration, which
was followed in the Italian style for
many years, has advanced with archi-
lecture, and the frescoing now done is
almost exclusively after the Renais,
sance pattern. Frescoing and plain
painting 90 together 1t is not that the
frescoer is any less an artist. But in
modern buildings where both frescoing
and plain painting are required the di-
vision of work is not desirable, while
there is almost as much difference in
the quality of plain work rs in that oil
frescO. In the new building of the Mu-
@ual Life Insurance Company in New
York, on Nassau Street, no frescoing
Is done, yet there is good deal OF
painting, and good painting, about the
splendid structure
Fresco painting, in the strict sense o.
the term, has made little progress in
America, but fresco decorating has. The
history of fresco painting during the
first two centuries after the revival o!
art is history of oil painting, as every
work of Importance was executed by
that process. Michael Angelo is said
to have expressed an opinion that fresco
was fit for men and oil painting only fol-
women and the luxurious and idle. But
for two centuries no works of more than
average merit have been executed in
Italy, while in England fresco painting
seems unsuited to the genius of the
English school. In America the only
works of consequence are in the Capitol
at Washington. On the other hand,
fresco decorating has made rapid
strides and has become an art by itself.
In many business-blocks and hotels in
New York the frescoer has worked such
transformation scenes that traveller
returning failed to recognize the land
marks. In private houses no decora-
ton is so lasting and none other gives
such a pleasing effect as frescoing well
done. The eye is sometimes easily de-
ceived, and the good frescoer knows it.

The Independent notices that
women preachers are getting to be a
regular thing in Massachusetts. 1.-The
Congregational yearbook" it says,
records two Congregational churches
in that State supplied by women
Thought not formally installed,) one
of whom, Annie H. Shaw, has acted as
pastor for five years, and the other,
Louise S. Baker, for four years. That
women can be pastors in the conserva-
tive old orthodox churches of Massa-
chusetts is, then, an accomplished fact,
but not as yet an acknowledged
accomplished fact, as the timid
brackets around their yearbooks in
dictates.
Pupils in the public schools are
kept at work upon arithmetic from
eight to ten years. This fact has re-
ceived the attention of Mr.. Washington
GLADDEN., who says: "The reason why
one-seenth of the years allotted to
human life are consumed upon the
study Of arithmetic is that the science
has been developed in most of our text
books to needless extent" He finds
a great many superAuous subjects are
introduced; that the application of
arithmetic to all manner of possible
and impossible transactions is extended
so far that life becomes burden to
many pupil before the book is fin
ished. He would shorten the time OF
this study two or three years. -EE'

PHOSPHORUs IND WATER.

There can not be doubt, as we all must have
found out,
That science does away with old delusions;
And l frankly must confess that what like
Is its tendency to shatter our Illusions
In more than one respect iC seems painful to
That ones petted little son or fav'rite
daughter
Should be proved by learned lore to be really
nothing more
Than some phosphorus and half pail of
water!
Flesh aud blood are idle dreams, muscle is not
what it seems,
Bone and hair are common errors; so is
Sinew;
To believe in things we see, just as they ap-
pear to be,
Science warns us we no longer may CON
tinue.

than hoax;
Do you think her present owner would have
bought her
Had he known It as a fact that the animal he
backed
was-some phos~hourus and half a pail of

Can we hope the tender passion will not soon
go out of fashion
If this theory be widely promulgated?
Or that stolen chances, kisses, and the rest of
lovers blisses
As absurdties will notbe deprecated?

-Rheem, who has charge of the rep
tile specimens in the Smithsonian In
stitute, contradicts much of the popular
belief as to snakes. Some of the most
dreaded have no existence. The hoop
snake, which takes the end of its tail in
its mouth and rolls over and over like
a hoop, killing everything it touches
with its venom, and the blow snake,
the breath of which is deadly, are fic-
tions. As serpents are moving about
they are constantly feeling ahead with
the tongue, and the forward thrust and
forked appearance of this organ has
given rise to the false idea that with it
the singing is done. 1t is generally
thought that there are a great number
of poisonous snakes. In North Ameri-
ca there are but three species--the rat
tlesnake, the copperhead or moccasin
and the coral.
