Cheap Pictures.

"Do you know how these pictures
arc painted?" inquired an art connois-
seur yesterday of q reporter, referring
to the paintings displayed in an "art
auction house,
The newspaper man confessed his
ignorance, and asked to be informed.
"Well, l will tell you Il story regard
ing their construction as it was told me
by thoroughly reliable party. He
said he knew an artist in Chicago who
was good painter. but had wre ked
himself by drink. Broken down, he
took to painting pictures for auction
eers, and this is how he did it: He
would spread long piece of canvas
along the room and then mark it off
into sections the size he intended to
make the pictures. Next he would
mix up about dozen pots of paint-as
many colors as it was necessary for him
to use. Taking the brush from one
pot he would paint daub, tree or
something on each section; then he
would take up another color and go
along the strip of canvas daubing water
or houses on each picture, and so on
till he had turned out the whole string,
all alike, you know. In this way he
managed to paint about twenty pictures
day. He received rs cents for each
picture. My informant assured me
this was all he was paid. Well, that
would be about SIS for the days work.
This would be enough for the artist to
go off on drunk with, and that is just
what he would do, and remain drunk
for few days. Then his funds would
be out and he would so to work again.
In this way he managed to keep atioat
and be drunk the greater part of the
time. You can understand how these
fellows can sell pictures for trifle and
yet thrive. If they sell picture at all
they make money on it, as it costs them
next to nothing. The frames they get
for about 80 cents apiece as they buy
SO many at a time. Why. $3.50 pays
them well for a picture. "-&. Louis

A prominent politician in one of the
Departments in Washington, being
asked whether Arthur could carry Ohio,
answered.:
"Ohio! Pm sick of Ohio, want to
see the Republicans elect their ticket,
but declare it will give most of us
pleasure to see that State go Democratic
by $4,000. Why, sir, at every Ohio
election Republicans all over the coun-
try have been called upon to put their
hands in their pockets to help her out.
Here at Washington the thing has been
almost an eXtortion for the past twenty
years, yet every political BOBBY in the
State is ready with a thousand things,
aside from this, in the way of favors. II
there is an appointment to be disposed
of Ohio wants it, and their early elect
ion and general doubtfulness has been
farmed by her politicians for years. So
far as our people here are concerned,
think Ohio will be left to care for her
self hereafter, left to the dogs, for that
matter"

A little chap who fell on the pave

"Isn't that boss?"
"Why, didn't you break the jug?"

: Humor in the stomach.

Much of the dis1ess and sickness at
tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrh9a
and other causes is occasioned by humor
in the stomach. Several cases, with all
the characteristics of these complaints,
have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Other cures effected by this medicine
are so wonderful that the simples state
statement of them affords the best proof
that it combines rare curative agents
and when once used secures the conf
dence of the people.

Imitation always follows q successful

proofs Of real honest merit; and thus il is
that the jana Bos' God Watch Oas< has
its imitatos- Buyers can always tell the
genuine by the trademark Of eopn, from
which is suspended pair Of y s.
scales. Be sure BOTH erOrn and 3
scales are stamped in the cap of the watch

dorsing an article unless they not only knov
that it is good, but that the character of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
ot the goods will be kept fully up 10 standard.

THE SIG AR DUTTE,S.

The revenue derived from imports of sugar
during the fiscal year 1883 was 81 30 .419
When ta:!il revision was under discussion, it
was proposed by many to cut down the duties
on sugar largely. but the people of Louisiana
pieadcd ptcously for the continuance of high
Duties and the Republicans decided to reduce
the duty only in II moderate degree. During
the las; fiscal year the value of imports of sugar
and molasses was S9i,37l SAT, and the amount
of duties paid was 1891 ,O33, the larger I'M
poriations having resulted III an increased
revenue, though the rate was slightly reduced.
At the last session of Congress a Democratic
committee reported and Il large proportion of
the Democratic members supported, bill to
reduce the duties on sugar 20 per cent
Against this measure the Democrats of
Louisiana protested loudly, declaring that if il
should be supported by the Democrats gener-
ally. they should deem it n duty TO their CON
situents TO oppose that party and were certain
that Democratic success in Louisiana would be
rendered impossible. Accordingly, after the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland and the adoption
Of the Democratic platform, the sugar planters
in Louisiana organized for resistance, and the
strength Of the opposition manifested was 80
great rs to be deemed, even by journals most
warmly favorable to the election of Mr. Cleyc-
land, certain to defeat him in that state.
Nevertheless the Democratic ring under the
control Of especial friends of Governor Clcve-
land. secured his success by methods unhappilv
too well known In the histor, Of I,ouislono.

benefit to tho working people and to the great
majority of consumers. 1t may be questioned
whether In tho present condition OF tho
revenue, 40 much rs $49, O00,OOO can be safely
surrendered. From tho recent report OF the
Secretary of the Treasury it appears probable
that tho surplus. after meeting requirements for
the sinking fund, may not for the next year
exceed $39,O00,O00. There is, however. u
gradual increase of tho revenue to be expected
from the growth of population and the increase
in cor sumption of many articles, and this
increase would go far to prevent any deficiency.
For the next year, too, large receipts may bo
expected from tho internal taxes, particularly
because Of tho great quantity of whiskey in
boud, upon which duties must be paid during
that year.
Two modes of treating this matter have been
suggested. On the one hand it has been pro-
posed to reduce directly the duties on sugar,
or to abolish them altogether On the other
hand, Il treaty has been negotiated with SPAIN
having in view partial reciprocity in commerce
with Cuba, under which, if Published reports
are Trustworthy, great part OF the duty on
sugar would be virtually surrendered AS the
details of this treaty have not yet been made
known, and it is not certain how far Other
features may involve loss to the United States,
it cannot yet be inteIigently determined
whether it would be wiser TO reduce The revenue
from sugar directly, or to effect a corresponding
reduction in exchange for commercial adyan-
tages gained from Spain. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the subject must come before
Congress at this session in IL form which will
hardly admit of pOstponcment, unless the DEM
ocrats are disposed to take the responsibility of
defeating measure of great benefit to the
people, and particularly to the working classes,
for the sake of rcwarding Democratic partisans
in Louisiana.
