TattOOing q Fine Art.

edwin Thomas, tattooing artist, "
was the sign that greeted the eyes of 3
Tribune reporter at South street and
Old Slip. Two flights up, in room
furnished with de,k and half dozen
chairs, the artist was found at work.
Three stalwart and sun-browned sailors
were lounging about the room. By the
window sat Mr.. Thomas, holding the
hand of sailor lad, which he was tat
tooing. A saucer containing India ink,
and one containing vermilion, stood on
chair by his side. Into one or the
other of these saucers he continually
dipped four small needles fastened to a
handle, and then pricked away at the
back of the boys hand, on which a
belligerent eagle, holding in its taions
an American tlag, was beginning to APP
pear. The sailor boy and his COM
panions watched the work with interest
us the operation painful2' asked the
reporter. "Not at ALL" replied the
sailor, and Mr. Thomas, Selling the re-
porters hand, pr.cked the back of it
with his needles. The puncture was
scarcely felt, but bright red spot,
about the size of the point of a pin, was
left
"Do you do much tattooing?" asked
the reporter of the ''artist."

reply. Il have just returned from Chi

Here is a design that is also popular

resentation of an impossible woman,
weeping over an improbable monument
on which was inscribed: lin memory

they generally furnish their OWL and
seem to be fond of horses and other ami
mails for decorative purposes. For tat

book there range from twenty-five cents
to two dollars. After a design is

Julian Arnold said that s'his father,
Edwin Arnold, wrote the most of Light
of Asia on the cuff of his shirt sleeve,
while riding in the cars to and from hi:
office. He says his father went into
London every morning, and during the
ride would write on his cuff with pencil,
In the evening, after his return home,
he copied the lines off on paper, and in
this way wrote most of the poem" If

dearly beloved, is beautiful, but rath-

man is SO reduced for stationery as to
be compelled to write poems and lead
ers on his cuffs. Especially when the

tablets. When you hear a man telling
how he took down three-colum speech,
at midnight, in pelting storm, on his
cuff, ask him if he didn't see to write
his notes by the lurid glare of his nose.
The one is quite as probable as the 9th

Julian. 1t does not need that any man
should come all the way from England
to tell US such stuff as that. We have
some good old romances right here in

Habitual CheerfulneSS.

Cheerfulness may be inherent, but j
can also be cultivated, and to that ex
tent we should regard it rs virtue. l
is very much the result of cOntentment
to no great degree do outward circum
stances determine the cheerfulness OF
the sadness of men. The rich may bt
sad and the poor cheerful; the fortunat
may be gloomy, and the unfortunate
full Of hope; the sick may be full of the
spirit of JOY, and the strong wrapped il
morbid gloom.
Some people seem to be always cheer
full. They scatter sunshine; it is pleas
ure to be near them. 1t is not necessarily
the buoyancy of youth, for often ole
people are cheerful to an extent that
almost makes it contagious. They are
satisfied with the world as they find it
they do not cross their bridges unit
they come to them; they consider to-
days load enough for them to carry,
aud will not lug yesterdays load around
unless it isn't to be helped
Cheerfulness ought to be placed
among the cardinal virtues, and its
cultivation made a duty. We are bound

opportunities, and we can not do SC
when we give way to melancholy
moods. There is nothing that has
such bad effect on the general health
as melancholy condition of the mind,
and it is often impossible for physicians
to cure bodily infirmitles until the mind
becomes hopeful and elastic. Every
power, bodily and mental" says Her.
bert Spencer, sis increased by good
spirits. There is no such tonic as hap
piness.' Here we have an undisputed
reason why cheerfulness should be cul-
tivated. and cultivated as the distinct
means of vastly improving other pow
ers of the mind.
1t has been conceded that every form
OF healthy mental occupation brings
the mind joy rather than gloom or sor,
row. 1t is not those persons who thin
most, nor those who are most keenly
alive to the sorrows and misfortune
that befall mankind, that are overcom
by sadness, but commonly the minds
that nurse trouble and unwittingly en-
courage melancholy emotions: TIL,

the less evident that instead of cult

The Art Of Orator.

AS l have before observed, gesticula-
ZION is foreign to our Nation. and yet
The man who would be an orator must
learn what to do, as we'll as what TO

ing, says: The gesture, the attitude,
the look, should precede the words. as
the flash of lightning precedes the thun-
der" Yet, if you watch any unculti-
tivated speaker, you will find that his
action never indicates the path he is
travelling. but follows it. Observe the
itinerant preacher, whose apoplectic elo-
quence suggests that he is suffering from
n determination of words to stick in the
mouth; you will find that ii e flinging of
his arms to and fro is an effort to add
force to his words, not the outcome of
strong feeling before it has broken into
speech. The true orators movements
must appear so spontaneous that
they pass unnoticed, and yet, in-
sensibly, they will affect his au-
dience. The most powerful speakers
are always, more or less, actors, who
identity themselves with the cause they
advocate Cold rhetoricians who have
not this capacity may bring conviction
