An Excellent Piece OF Work.

A fine, life-size portrait in oil has Just
been shown us of Mrs. ]. c. Ssraughan. de-
ceased. daughter of Hon. and Mrs. j. O.
Shoemaker. 1t was executed by Clinton
w. Marker. of Mooresville, rising young
artist whose protrsits are attracting consid-
cradle we'll merited attention.
The picture Just shown Us is q fine work of
art. While getting the features and express
sion of countenance almost exactly as con-
veyed by the card photo from which he
copied, the artist has at the same time got
ten the coloring admirably, so that the re-
suit Is a likeness strikingly life-like in all
respects.
Among Mr.. Markers productions we have
seen one of the late 2 n. Todd, M. D., which
was selected as being the best, by q compe-
tent committee, from among four portraits
which had been painted of that gentleman
by different artists of note. each Of whom
competed for the honor of having his work
adorn the walls of the medical college OF this
city, and of obtaining the substantial prize
that was offered for the best Likeness OF the
doctor. These are but two of many Of Mr..
Markers oil portraits. and we can recon-
mend him TO ali wanting satisfactory work
in his line

SUGGESTIVE.

The latest achievement in scientific surgery
is the removal of q living mans bowels for
the purpose OF removing foreign substances
from the abdominal cavity. The replacing
OF the bowels was followed by the recovery
of the patient We are led to hope that this
is but the forerunner of greater achieve
ments, and that it will be possible to remove
the brains of living man, and after having
mended them put them back again. We are
of the opinion that in this manner the brains
OF some people we know could be much i'm
proved. The main difficulty would be, how
ever. 10 find the brains, but by means of a
microscope they might be discovered.

NO SHOOK.

The Western Christian Advocate is moved
to the expression of the following sensible
Christians spirited words: The transition
from one administration to another was so
quietly made that no shock was felt in any
part of the country. From the discussions
oillast fell one might have been led to almost
dread an earthquake on the 4th of March,
but none cane. The March winds blew and
the March sun shone as usual. Presidents
come and go, and parties rise and fall, but
the Republic moves on its majestic way. 1t
has survived the shock of the most gigantic
war of the century, ami has thus proved its
stability. None need despair. IL we knew
enough, and are good enough, the careful
providence of God will guard our way and
establish rs forever. The only thing We need
to dread is SIM

AN FXULrING BROTHER.

According to recent data furnished by
tome of the papers OF the Baptist faith con.
corning fereiga missionary work among
heathen nations We are led to aote that the
Bsptists seem at least TO be more successful
in missionary work than other Christian
churches. The total number of heather
converts connected at present with mission
airy stations under charge of the Prssbyte-
risns. Copgregstionalists, Melhodists, Chris
tisns and Episcopalians number 1914,
while the Baptists alone have 113 263 heathen
to their credit. Thus the Bsptists have
made 81 5l9 more converts than have bean
Dsde by ali the other prominent religious
bodies. and, as will be presently shown, at
an extremely cheap rate.
The Baptist paper in passing to the dis
cuseion OF the cost OF converts prints the
following table:

Shall a man drink between II and -
o'clock Ct night? A more important ques-
ton has not been presented to the Indiana
Senate this session. 1t was gratifying to q
plain constituent to see that the Senators
recognized the importance of this question.
Few gentlemen voted without explaining
their votes. Some gentlemen lost the chance
OF explaining by being suddenly called out.
The question applied to one city. Evansville
being on the border, we are compelled to
accommodate the Kentuckians and Tennes-
seeans. There is no help for US. We must
keep open all night. But the little inland
town Of Indian polls fought bravely for its
rights. 1t was apparent at the beginning of
the fight that Indianapolis would be dis.

idea pervsded the Senate that it was not
necessary to keep open after IL o'clock. OF
course when you talk OF necessities, we can
only quote King Lear:

Are in the poorest things superfuous."
When q man went to Texas without re.
volver, they told him that he might not
want it at all. but If he did, he would want
it mighty bad. 1t may be that man may
not want drink between IL and IL at night;
but II he does. he will want il awful bad
Still, it is beginning to be understood in
this country that the drinking man hiss no

to respect. ] can plainly see that the days
OF the liquor man are numbered. The liquor
man is going, like the buffalo or the old
Wing party. When q lady claimed to be an
old Wing. John Van Barren said: Look
well at her-the male of this species is ex-
tjnct."
1t will not be long before genuine liquor
man will be curiosity. Is 1t too late to
enter @ protest against the destruction of
this representative of American life? The
liquor man and the cold-water man together
built up Indiana. For many years they
toiled together to redeem the land from the
forest, tc put up Insane Asylums and Peni-
tentiaries. When the work was done, and
every county had a railroad, the cold water

From this table it appears that Baptist

From this table it appears that Baptist
heather cost less than those converted by
any other denomination. 1t costs S592.03
to turn pagan into an Episcopalian, and
S2iS.14 TO make Presbyterian out of an
average heather. The Baptists, however,
can convert heather for only $3705, aud
at that price can secure more than eau be
secured by all their rivals put together.
As our Baptist contemporary exultingly re.
marks, "One dollar given by American Bsp-
fists to foreign missions" accomplishes as
much as six dollars given by other de-
nominations.
However, let the brother rejoics. I'M
mortal hap pines, is cheap at any price. Some
old and healthy sinners not in heather
lands, waste millions Of dollars in riotous
living and never reach conversion.
