THE people Of Maryland, in common
j with their fellow countrymen, have
heard with deep concern of the long suf-
fcring and the fatal illness which has ter
minated the life Of the soldier, statesman
and patriot, GENERAL q. s. GRANT. They
sympashize fully and very deeply with
the devoted wife and sorrowing family
in their bereavemcnt,an and but one feeling,
that of pure and simple sorrow -pervades
all sections and classes. Henceforth his
enemies will revere lis memory for mag
nanimity in the hour of his triumph: his
friends for his fidelity to convictions and
devotion TO his country's call. In defer
cnce to sorrow so general and sincere,
all state public Offices will be closed and
their busiues suspended on the day OF
the lamented dead's funeral, and the peo-
pie are requested to repair to their re-
spectIvc places Of worship and engage
ia services appropriate and befitting the
sad and solemn occasion.

A study OF Flesh.

Tho exposition of the French acade-
my at the Villa Medica this season has
caused quite scandal. Doucet, one
of the pensioners-a quiet, gentleman
like artist, q perfectly reputable and
excellent personals painted for this
exposition, strange to say, very
coarse picture; not lascivious, but
coarse. 1t is called tho "Interior Of
the Harcm.'' The light is dim; three
or four indistinctiye forms OF naked
women are seen sitting about in awk-
ward positions There are no fine
stuffs, no gorgeous decorations, no
dazzling colors; the whole attention IS
directed to the entirely nude body OF
robust woman of the Rubens type,
who lies sleeping apparently on tho
front plane of the picture Her face
can not be seen, as her back is toward
the spectator. As a study of flesh,
mere human flesh, the picture is truly
q marvellous work of art, but ia every
other respect is not only unattractivo,
but absolutely repulsive.
After all that may be said in defense
Of nudity In art by artists, most of Us
shrink from the sight of it in modern
art; we accept it with pleasure only il
sculpture, especially ancient sculpture.
The Venus of Milo, the Venus Of the
capital, the Apoxyomenos Of tho Vati-
can, the Apollo Sauroktonos, tho
Hermcs of Olympia, are such divine
perfection of human development that
the beholder forgets all modern artifi-
cial rules Of decorum when looking at
them. They are beings Of a far-oifage;
exquisite forms manifested in q strange
marble existence. But in painting the
nude almost always gives shock to 4
sensitive and refined nature. Titian's
Venus, Rubens' huge, ruddy women,
with all their exquisite execution, and
the beauty given them by their crea-
tors, they are, to say the least, most
unattractive. Rome Cor. SuB Fran

The gardener of the John Hopkins
estate in Baltimore county, Md, has
cultivated figs for the last twenty-five
years with success, having never failed
to secure a crop. He gives the method
of treatment as follows: From the 10th
to the Goth of November we dig trench
around the bushes, cutting away about
half the roots they have made during
the season, when the bushes were grow
ing vigorously, and less when they are
not so robust, bending down the
branches to the ground in the form of
a cross, and covering them with earth
from the trenches from three to four
inches in thickness, and in Spring un-
covering them from the 1st to the 10th
of April. They bear fruit abundantly,
ripening about the 1st of July, and
continuing to bear until November.

Under the shade of cottonwood
trees in Santa Fe a tourist lately saw
fifty Indian boys and girls taking their
first lesson in gymnastic exercises, de-
signed to make them less awkward in
department. A bright young Ameri-
can girl was the instructress, and it was
highly diverting to see the eagerness
with which these untutored children
followed her movements. The boys
were as pleased with their first Jackets
and trousers as any Yankee lad on
emerging from petticoats and long
curls. Nor were the Indian girls less
proud of their skirts and their we'll fit
ting shoes. Stockings, the observer
noticed, were likely to come down, a
trick which the girls evidently thought
to be characteristic of stockings, but
they got plenty of exercise in pulling
them up into place.

A little girl in one of the orphan asy-

stung by a bee on the ball of one of
her eyes, the sting causing the sight
to be utterly destroyed. The physi-

heard of u similar case, the action OF
the lids being almost instantaneous

OsceOIa Water Ditch.

The water ditch and fume is now
twelve miles long, two miles of which is
fume. They are now pushing the ditch
ahead to Williams Creek. Without this
latter creek they will be able to turn her
loose with 1900 inches of water. By the
time this begins to let up, Williams creek
will be reached, which will make up for
the falling off. The ditch is wide enough
for two horsemen to ride in it abreast.
Up to two weeks ago 80 men were at
work on the ditch, but the force has been
cut down to 100. When completed it
will not give employment to exceed
twenty men. After many years of back
ing and filling up this important enter
prise approaches completion, and now
many will watch with interest to see how
this isolated placer pans out. In no
placer mines on the coast have so many
big nuggets been found as in Osceola.-

IN OPEN REBELLION.
The Young Ladies OF PanRea Or
ganize "a Military Company

A lady correspondent of the Phoebe
Record, writing from Panaca, gives the
following racy account of a military
movement among the girls of that place
1t is reported that some of those hor-
rid Utah officials are coming to Panaca
for the purpose of arresting several of our
church leaders and taking them over in
to Utah, where they will be hung until
they are dead, dead. As Brother Jen-
nings of Salt Lake City remarked, that
us Mormons would either have to obey
the laws, get out of the country or fight,
us girls decided to do the latter, and for
the purpose of protecting our leaders
! from the officers of the law at all hazards
/ Yes, us girls have have organized
military company | thought
that l was to be elected captain, but the
other girls all protested. They said that
was too blood-thirstv, and would kill all
Gentiles, and this defeated me for the
captaincy, for every girl, would you be-
leve, had Gentle Teller or two that
that they didn't want slaughtered. | was
appointed Disordcrly Sergeant. Every
thing pertaining to military affairs..is left
to me- am to drill the girls and keep
them in trim. The company uniform will
consist of the Boomer dress. The pants
will be green and the frock red. | look
very lovely in my uniform. The only OBJ
lection to-it, is that it makes one look so
fiat in the back. But this can be easily
remedied, for instead of wearing the cart
ridge boxes on the top of our skirts, we
will place them beneath, thus improving
our rear appearance. Us girls never did
admire fiat appearing things-not even
the youths of BulliOnville. Then there
is another great advantage to be derived
from placing the cartridge boxes beneath
our skirts. Those United States marshals
are low set of fellows. They are always
crawling up behind people when they
want to arrest them. These rascallv fell
lows will probably be crawling up behind
our little company to kill all us girls. but
upon beholding the substantial backing
that the members possess, it will
strike terror to their cowardly hearts and
they will flee swifter and in greater dis
order than Use Johnston and his regular
troops did at the time they were on their
way to Salt Lake to crush the Mormons.
and Lot Smith, assisted by the Lord and
few Mormons, went up on the noun
talns and gathered big jackstones, and
rolled them down on the troops as thew
were passing through the canyon. Papa
was there, and he says it was grand sport
to witness the troops run. They ran so
fast that their heads couldn't keep up
with their bodies, and they hung down in
the middle of their backs, and their heels
would fly up and hit it at every Jump.
No, we will not permit the authorities to
take away the leaders of our church in
Panaca, and particularly our dear young
bishop. We could never think of parting
with him. 1t would break all our hearts |
to know that we were forever to be de- |
prived OF his bewitching smiles. When
wearing his most winning smiles. he |
looks for all the world like a dear, little |
monkey.

The Molecular,

The Molecular Telephone company of
this city now has over 100 subscribers who
have asked for instruments without any
solicitation. The first order for instru-
ments has been forwarded. 1t will be
impossible to get the exchange in opera
ton in less than sixty days, but in the
meantime number of instruments will
be placed in the business part of town
for trial. Mr.. Brown, the superintendent,
started out with subscription blanks this
morning, and is meeting with all the
success he could desire The fact that no
news has been received of the New York
suit, which was to have been heard last
Saturday, is regarded as favorable indi-
cation by the Molecular people. Had
decision neen rendered in favor of the
Bell, they think that company would be-
fore this have sent the news to every part
of the country.

A HOOdlum Arrested.

Mr.. Frank Hoffman and friend were
passing along Second South street in the
Thirteenth ward last evening on their way
home, when they heard pistol shot, fol-
lowed by the whiz OF a bullet unpleasant
ly near their heads. The shot was found
to have been fired by one Of three boys
and as they refused to give the name of
the guilty party they were all arrested to-
day. Two of the boys then stated that
the shot was fred by Maroni Keyser and
the lad will be held to answer before JUS

lad who was fined a short time ago for
creating disturbance at the Tabernacle.
