try retreat is robbed of half It's val
ue without the feeling for nature
and her works which we all should
have, and the heart which is open to
her influences can be sweetened and
swept clean of the worst cynicism if
the mans inner self is left open to
the silent communion with the sun
nv influences of bird and beast and
tree and flower The genius
of Dore is but the exaggeration
of the feeling which animated man
kind a few years ago, and his illus
trations of Poe's Raven are more
valuable as retrospective studies Of
human nature than as embodied
dreams of sicllly fancy.
As the Greek worshipped outward
grace and the Roman bodily
strength, the modern typical man
thought so highly of mind that he
neglected to cultivate properly the
generous influences and tender loves
of the heart. Tennyson knew ma
ture only through books, but Shell
ley drew aside the veil and gazed in
rapture on her face, and many have
! followed him since. Thoreau's in
fiuence on modern thought is due
almost entirely to his appreciation
of nature; and Emerson also made
careful studies from life, and these
pioneers have prepared the way,
along which the magazines now
make their writings popular by il
lustration and explanation. The ten
dency is healthy and instructive; it
is provocative of life and enjoy
ment in the open air, and many
morbid ideas common in our age
and generation will be corrected
thereby.

The Sanford Journal has this to
say of the Florida Republicans:
"Our information from delegates
just returned from St. Augustine,
among them some of the shrewdest
men in the party, is that the Repub-
licans will make no nomination for
Governor, but will hold themselves
in readiness to take up the candi-
date, should they present one, of the
Independents. However, this may
be, the nomination of Gen. Sanford,
whether by the Republicans or the
Independents would be a strong one,
and would give to the Democracy
anything but walk over the track
Evidently the opposition is prepar-
ing for vigorous campaign, both
State and National, and it is no part
of wisdom to ignore their strength.
To underestimate an antagonist is a
dangerous error"

The Augusta News, a few days ago,
remarked that husbands generally dined
out on clearing up days. 1t never was
more mistaken. Some married men
may, but true husbands never. The
writer has been married since 1847, and
he never saw the day that he preferred
dining away from his family. He. like
all husbands that appreciate their wives,
had rather eat bread and water only at
home than sit down TO the most sumptu-
Gus dinner unaccompanied by his wife.

fasten upon George F. Edmunds.
The st. James Gazette thinks the
memory of Taglioni should be honOred
with a statue, because she brought pleas

As soon as it was announced that Mr.
John F. Slater had set apart million Of
dollars for educating the freedmen of the
South, letters began pouring in begging
him to give money for this, that and the
other scheme of alleged benevolence, and
before he died he had received bushels of
such communications from all parts of
the world.
In a biography of the engineer, James
Campbell, whose death was recently an
nOunced in England, the whole history
of steam lOcomOtion might well be sum-
med up. He was one of George Stephen
sons principal assistants, and he super
intended the first experimental trip of a
vessel laden with frozen meat from Aus
tralia to England.
ConstantinOple is lamenting the death
of two of its greatest benefactors. GeOr-
gios Zarif, the phiIanthropist, whose
whole life was devoted to works of chart
ty, was a special friend of the Greeks of
the Levant. The numerous Greek schools
in the Turkish capital We're largely helped
by him, and the new schools for boys is
almost entirely his creation. His funer-
al was attended by Turks, Jews, Greeks
and Armenians of all classes-an i'm
mense procession of above $40, 900 friends
followed the coffin to the tomb. At the
same hour that this noble Greek was
buried, another funeral moved towards
Scutari-that of the Princess Zeineb Ha-
mum, daughter of the late Mehemet Ali,
of Egypt, and widow of Kiamil Pasha.
She was a great benefactOr of the Tur-
kish poor, especially the exiIes. One
third of her enormous wealth she leaves
to her benevolent societies, the rest goes
to her brother, Prince Halim-a bequest
which may yet have important political
results in Egypt.
The widow OF the famous Mexican
General, Santa Anna, is now living
quietly in her native State, and seldom

In Progress at the Opera House During
the Intermission.
Wien the theatrical season opens in Sep
teuber, our people will note a pleasing
change in our local Thespian temple, the
Opera House. For some little time past the
house has been in the hands Of NJ Armbrus-
ter, famous SCIENTIST artist of Columbus,
and his facile brush hss.made some impOr-
tant changes. The first is in the introduce
ton of drop curtain to be lowered between
the acts Heretofore with the same

casonally difficult to tell when the play was
over. which difficulty will now be ended
The drop curtain is masterpiece of work.
The scene is an ideal one, representing the
temple Of Diana, on an island in the Gre
clan Archipelago. Iphigenia, the priestess,
stands on the portals gazing with wistful
ewes on the Grecian shore-her home-in

a little. TO make room for stationary pillars
and drapery in each side, a want which has
existed since the boxes were removed. The
work of this drapery and the drop above, is
decidedly the best we have ever had in
Wheeling. Mr. Armbruster has also com
pleted number of new combinations and
drops, all of which will be seen to adytnrage
during the coming season.
