Presidential Nvidn,rs

Notwithstanding the distressing financial
diasterS suffered by her husband, Mrs.
Grant will be the richest of any of the
widows of our Presidents from Washington
to Grant. Mrs. Grant will have the income
of the $3.50, 900 fund, raised mainly by Mr..
Jones, of the New York Times. Congress
will promptly vote her the usual annuity
OF $4,000, which is given to all widows of
ex-Presidents She will have the proceeds
OF General Grants autobiography, now es-
tlmated at not less than $3.50, 600, and likely
TO reach 100000. She will be subject TO
little or no expense attending the long i'll
ness of her husband, and her estate will
not be less than 100000, exclusive of the
assured $1,000 annuity. The $3.50. 900 fund
contributed some five years ago was fortu-
nately put in trust for the use of General
Grant and his wife, and is, therefore. be-
You'd the reach of creditors.
Next to Mrs. Grant the presidential widow
most comfortably provided for is Mrs. Gar
held, who has her home at Mentor and one
at Cleveland, with her annuity and the in
come OF 100000 contributed soon after her
husbands death. Mrs. Lincoln was left
with very small income until Congress
gave her an annuity of $1,000, which was
afterwards increased to $1,000 The widow
of ex-President Polk, who is now upwards
OF SO years of age, has comfortable home
IN Nashville, and in addition to her So 600
annuity receives a small income from some
tennessee bonds on which the State has
not defaulted. The most poorly provided
Tor of all the widows of ex-Presidents is
Mrs. Tyler who has nothing but her an
nuity, and until Congress granted that
was in a condition of absolute
dependence on her friends. She
was noted New York belle in her Younger
days and still retains traces of her youth
full beauty. She was the second wife of
President Tyler, and they were married
during his Presidential term. Mr.. Tyler
was past 60 at the time and his bride was
scarcely 20. When she entered the White
House as its mistress she became the queen
OF Washington society, position for which
her beauty and brilliant wit eminently
qualified her. When the civil war broke
out Mr.. Tyler cast his lot with the South,
and died while a member of the Confeder-
ate Congress. When the war closed the
young widow was left penniless, all her
fortune having been swept away in the
TIDE of destruction which swept over her
home at Observation-Disclosures.

rs THERE NO COMPROMISE %

Referring to the hydraulic mining issue,
the Oakland Times says one would think
that civil engineering could have solved
the problem short of the square issue with
the valley people which left no choice but
to suppress the mines and practically con
fiscate the investment, but civil engineer
ing did not do this, and the result is as it
Isl And then the Times asks these cues
tions: " Is there any way out? Have all
resources been exhausted? Is there no
compromise between permanent interest
and prior right that will permit a modi-
lied renewal of the destroyed industry 81
oh, yes. There are two ways out, and
only two-the prosecution of system of
mining, in lieu Of hydraulicking, that will
not destroy the permanent interest in the
valley and the right of the people to have
navigation forever free and open upon the
Sacramento river; or the continuance of
hydraulic mining in such q way that the
debris shall be taken care of by the miner,
and not be precipitated.upon his agricult-
ural neighbor
III there Is any other compromise posi-
bic the Times can do its country inesti-
mable service by suggesting it. Engineer
ing science fails to do it; the wealth of the
hydraulic mining corporations appears to
have failed to secure from the science a
single suggestion in that direction.
Let the Times understand the people of
the valley. They have no wish to DESTROY
any industry; they are neither vengeful
nor cruel; they sympathize with the ills
of the mining region; but they recognize
as superior to all sympathetic emotions the
higher and nobler dictate of humanity,
that commands men to care for those of
their own household first. 1t is simply A.
question of self-preservation Nav, it is
scarcely that now, for we entertain the
gravest fears, based on knowledge of facts
OF the most startling character, that the
days of river vitality and navigation in
the Sacramento valley are over, and that
curse is settling over the river and bay region
that descends directly from the mountains.
There is but one thing that will lift it and
clear the atmosphere-the substantial and
Immediate aid of the Federal Government
backed by some millions of dollars with
which to effect the clearance of the river
and The imminent danger of its diversion
across the Yolo basin. But if in this we
are IN error-and none Will be so reioiced
as we to be found in error in this respect
ietthe Times and all the people know that
the business conservative, practical sense
OF the people of the valley will hail with
loud acclaim any possible and certain
scheme OF escape from the ills which
threaten US, tllat will give US the same re-
suits as the stoppage of the cause of our
complaint, and the application of restora-
tive remedies to the river.

Art has sunk lower in standard in pro-
portion as 1t is more widely diffused being
spread over a broader surface it becomes
shallower. Patrons of art, in like manner
as they multiply degenerate; in place of
the educated few rise the ignorant many.
Artists no longer paint up to cultured con-
noisseurS, but down to the common people E;
and this democracy among patrons and
painters has vulgarized art. Art has
changed for the worse its mental aspects il
is less serious and more frivolous, less
student-lke and more superficial and
snowy, less the issue of the higher faculties
and more the offspring of the senses. Art,
accordingly, seldom deals with the imagi-
nation and the reason il is no longer crea-
tive it has forsaken the walks of the ideal,
and thus holds but distant fellowship with
minds of caliber and culture. Art in re-
verse ratio has grown naturalistic and real ,
something to be measured and weighed,
as any other commercial commodity.
Hence the union of the ideal " it'll the real,
the perfection of Greek art, is an end be-
yond the aim of modern art. The study of
nature, including man, is given to charac-
ter, accident and outward material rather
than TO generic forms, governing laws and
indwelling life. Hence modern art, as dis
tinguished from ancient, falls short of ma
lures abstract and ideal types, and is con-
tent TO realize creation in the concrete.
And the prevailing traits of figure subjects
pass into landscape art Thus, historic and
poetic landscapes give place to prosaic
transcripts, without imaginative outlook
beyond the actual and the present Ac-
cordingly the pictorial arts of the day are
barren and stationary compared with the
advance in science and the fecundity of
poetry and romance. In short, the fine
arts have fallen below the standard and
requirement of cultured minds, and fail to
respond to the noblest phases of civiliza-

larger population 10 select from; regular

Carey's brigade, as now formed, has never
been drilled together. Some OF the COM
panies have never been in battal-
ion drill, except a shift OF a one.
In the few day they are massed here
it cannot be expected they will
learn mich of brigade work With all due
respectto General Carey, q worthy and earn
est man, let it be said that il would have
been the right thing for the service TO have
put an old brigade or regimental COM
mander from San Francisco over this ola
lodrida brigade. Now, if Colonel Smed-
berg for instance, could handle il, or any
one OF the old hands, how much more our
men could learn than is possible under
General Carey, who has never before had a
brigade at his command, and has been
forced 10 work out movements on paper
The General is fully sensible of this, and
will not probably attempt much in the way
OF brigade drill. He is put in very trying
position, with all these undrilled and drilled
battalions mingled together.

TRANsMIssIBILITY OF CONSUMPTION A
farm at Clarendon, III France, has furnished
somewhat startling evidence of the trans
instability of tuberculosis from man to
domestic animals. One Of the farm ser
wants, who was phthisical and too weak to
undertake fatiguing duties was placed in
charge of the poultry yard. He grew stead
lily weaker and coughed necessarily. In a
few weeks the fowls began to die OFF. The
owner of the farm sent one Of the fowls to
the veterinary school sit Abort NJ Nocard
found thatthe lungs and liver were infested
with tubercles about the size of pea, and
of a grayish yellow color. In q microscopic
preparation there were numbers of bacilli.
The fowls were killed and the poultry yard
disnfected. The danger attending the con-
sumption of diseased poultry, or milk from
tuberculous cows indicates that vigorous
system OF inspection ought to be organized
for market, farm and poultry yards.-IChi-

DEsPoILING THE OAsEs.-There are many
customs among semi-civilized people that
mitigate the hardships of war. There are
often tribal conflicts between the fierce
races which inhabit Arabia, the Sahara and
the Soudan. But immemorial custom has
sanctified the wafer wells and the palm
trees that flourish only in the oasis. The
Arab will murder or rob, but he would not
cut down palm tree or injure a spring of
water in the desert. 1t has now come to
light that the Britis@ soldier in the Upper
Egypt and the Soudan proved to be a more
contemplate savage than the followers of
the False Prophet. The few traces of fer
tility in the deserts they passed over were
destroyed, the palm trees, which for genera
tons had furnished grateful shade to the
caravans, were cut down; the date trees
were uprooted, and the wells and springs
injured, some of them beyond repair
