We have referred to the neglect of Win
ter landscape by etchers. OF coulse this
season is the least inviting to the artist for
outdoor work and this doubtless may be
held largely accountable for the lack of
results in this direction, The same dearth
is to be observed III general collections of
paintings However skillful the artist may
become in studio work, it still remains true
that the foundation of all good painting lies
in the sketch, or study direct from nature
Even Turner the prince OF imaginative
landscape painters, WAS most indetatiga-
bic gNtherer of memoranda in the shape of
sketches, more or less elaborate, from
which he composed his great work. With
out the familiar and accurate knowledge
which the making Of these gives, no artist
who regards his reputation should ever
attempt an important picture.
Some good work has been done in this
direction there still remains good field,
| however, for the aspiring young artist.
With nice eye for the delicate gradua-
| tions OF color, the subtle and Elusive AR
rangements" Of winter he might, by per-
slstent outdoor study master the secrets
of our winter scenery, and gain for him
self in time u very desirable recogni-
| ton
But close observation of nature does a
great deal besides enabling artists to paint
| better pictures. 1t adds considerably to
the pleasure of al! our intercourse with the
outdoor world, and especially to the en-
| jOyment of our winter walks. When the
fields are white and the foliage has de
parted there is yet much left that is
worthy Of attention and full of Interest
if we only sec it,, The man who knows
whether he has seen stone walls or rail
fences during his walk Is doubtless be
ter observer than he who only knows tiitl
he has walked. So he who can tell what
birds are with us, and Just where the out
line Of the mountain is finest, or who has
noticed the very different angles which
the limbs of different species of trees
make with their trunks, is in advance of tn,

The Territorial Court Holds n StiT Rein
over the Backs of the Polygamists-
Several Mormons Convicted.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. This
morning raids were made by deputy mar
shals on the residence of George O. Can
non, his supposed latest polygamous wife
having avoided the service of summons
heretofore, and other persons were sub
ppnaed to appear and testify before the
grand Jury. United States District-Attor-
ncy Dickson offers reward of $500 for the
capture of Cannon. The territorial Su-
premc Court has rendered decision sus
tanning the convection of the Apostle
Lorenzo snow. of unlawful cOhabitaton.
The court recites that Snow, in Nauvoo,
first illegally married two women at one
ceremony, and the contract therefore was
null and void. He then married successive
ly seven other women all of whom he
supports and holds out to the world as his
wives This is shown by testimony, while
at the same time he dwells regularly with
Minnie, his latest polygamous wife, who
has three months old child. The court
SAYS this is one of the most tlagrant cases
of polygamy in the territory, and no error
was made i'll convicting Snow. The court
also sustainS the conviction of Brigham
Young Simpson of conspiring to establish
a disreputable house for the purpose of
Turing thther prominent Gentiles, and
says the testimony discloses wicked and
disgraceful conspiracy which must be CON
demned by all.

ENGLISH CABINET APPOINTMENTS.
Gladstone Has His Friends AS Wen as His
Enemics.

LONDON Feb. THE following addi-
tional appointments were made under the
new administration Lord chancellor Of
Ireland, John Marsh attOrney-general
for Ireland samuel Waller; solicitor
general of Ireland, 7. McDermott. The
appointment of Broadhurst rs under
home secretary has caused a sensation
in political circles, that gentleman being
the first workingman ever rising 70 the
ministry The appointment indicates
that it is Gladetone 5 intention TO rely up
on the masses against the influence of
the aristocracy. The hostility of the
Wings to Gladstone is intense. This is
shown in the difficulty experienced by the
premier in filing the peers post in the
queen household. The duchess of Bed
ford and duchess of Westminster have re-
fused the appointments and others will
follow their eXnmple.

Home-Faiut Hopes.
BosToN June 12-Hitherto unpublished
developments in the case of tho mysterious
disappearance of Mr.. H. L. Nourse appeared
in The Herald Friday morning. The last
clue to Mr. Nourse's whereabouts was the
cable dispatch from London to his wife, an

and it at one time was reported that the
telegram would be burnt unconsulted Ii
was not, however, destroyed, and the wife
of the missing man on reaching London was
permitted to view it She identifies the
handwriting as being her husbands.
The question as to whether or not Mr..
Nourse al the time of sending the dispatch
intended to return to New York, is fully
answered by the contents of his trunks,
which came into Mrs Nourse's possession
after her arrival in England. Their
contents afforded the most pos
itive and pathetic proof of his
devotion to his family and intention to
speedily return TO them; comprising as they
do, presents for his wife and children The
remembrance for the little ones form au
interesting and important piece of evidence,
as it is believed he would not have pur-
chased them had he intended to stay away.
