nude women are among the prominet figures
in the procession. Certain critics raised
doubts as to the historical accuracy of this
portion Of the picture and lively war was
waged. The painter suddenly put a stop TO
this BY producing the original OF letter from
Albert Durer to MelancthOn describing the
event, and particularly mentioning the naked
women. In fact, Durer went on to say that
he desired to join in the procession, but was
prevented by his wife on account of these de-
collette ladies. 1t is said that Makart did the
rising Hungarian painter, Munkacsy, the
honor of being jealous of him of late.
ANinteresting suggestion has just been made
for the introduction Of camels into the south
Of England as beasts of burden for farmers
and others. For a number of years they have
been in use in Australia, and their dOcility
and endurance in that country are highly
praised. Laden separately, they take about
seven hundred weight each, but IN team
they are able to draw as much as q ton apiece.
By the Australian squatters they are extern
sively employed, and in districts where water
is scarce they are almost invaluable. Inc
price Of young camel Is rom $50 10 SOU,
and this sum is not deemed high by the In
habitants of the antipOdes. The chief oblec-
ton TO their Introduction into England Is thal
the country is too wet, and camels never get
along well on wet ground. AFTER ram they
are liable to slim and become useless. Horses
also are much terrified by their appearance.
A similar attempt was made to introduce
them here some fifteen years ago, but the IDEA
did not take.
SENATOR CAMERON does not conceal the in
tense hatred which he has cherished towards
Mr.. Blaine for some years past. He is only
giving a formal support to the latter's candi-
dacy, because that seems necessary IN order
to make sure of his reelection to the senate.
He will probably be able to command the sup
port of an AFFECT majOrity IN the Republican
caucus at Harrisburg next January ana VIII
then resume the absolute control of the party
organization. He will grind to powder be-
meath his iron heel the prominent Republicans
who nave ventured to assert themselves ana
demand reform in party methods and man
agement. Mr.. Blaine Inundated himself at
Philadelphia to the extent OF soliciting cam
eron's support, and virtually betrayed the
men who have stood by him In TINS state IN
good and evil report. The election has there
fore no further interest for those who hoped
for a reform of our local and state poltlcs.
The Republican organization IN pennsylvania
is merely a Cameron conspiracy to obtain
power and patronage.
WHILE all the world talks about her hus-
band, little gossip ever reaches the public
concerning Mrs. William II. Vanderbilt, from
a financial point of view the first lady in the
land She is given to books, is responsible for
her son Fred's literary inclinatlons, and so l
have heard, though, OF course, DON'T VOucn
for it-has wonderful runs OF luck when her
millionaire husband has time to venture q
quiet little game of penny ante. lie mas great
faith in her judgment, as well as her luck.
She should have been Wall-street operator,
he tells her sometimes by way of compliment,
and to her advice can be largely attributed
Mr.. Vanderbilt's avoidance of anything like
open partnership with Jay Gould IN tnat
precious wOrthy's varied philanthroples. But
The most interesting thing have heard lately
about Mrs. Vanderbilt-a matter which
good many husbands may find sort OF wicked
pleasure in clipping out for their wives sake
lis that she knits stockings, real stockings,
warn stockings, for the feet of her millionaire
husband Yes Mr.. Vanderbilt wears the
stockings. With this information as text
we can look for a stocking craze all over the
land, Just as all our girls began year or two
ago to paint plaques when somebody hap
pened to tell about the adeptness or Miss
AstOr at the easel
