AIT IN NEVADA.
Not i.uch of it at the Reno Dayii'

ion.
1t might as well DE admitted RICH
here that there is very little art il
Nevada. The awarding Of prem
ium= at the State Fair for painting
and drawing has done more to de
grade art in this State than any
thing else. 1t causes school girl
to smear yellow ochre, yandyk'
brown and fake white over oblon.

progressive amateures to waste
square yards of otherwise good can
vas by spreading deer's heads, cat:
and dogs upon 1t, III which false
perspective, bad coloring and worse
design are the principal features
The art exhibition at. the Pavilion
this year was something to be re.
called merely as one would recall "A
hideous night mare.
There were about hundred CON
trlbutors, people seeming to forget
that not over one person in 10, 900
can become an artist Of merit. and
OF the artists not more than one In
thousand wins mcrited renown.
The most pretentlous piece of
work was Mr.. Laycock $ Over the
River 1t is but just to the artist
to say that he had the sand to in
dulee in an original design, and he
deserves all the praise that belongs
to such an effort to get his brush
out of the copying rut. II is pre-
sumptIous however for Nevada
artist to attempt piece OF imaein-
alive work that Gastave Dore
would have thought twice oyer be,
fore attempting. To do such work
well, requires nothing less than a
great artist.
Gen, Grant is represented cross
ing the river Of Death in a sail boat
with Eathe: Time at the helm. He
is stepping from the Prov and is
met by ! delegation of departed |
presidents In black dress suits
while a number Of angels hover |
over the group. The boat that |
crosses the Styx is generally repre-
sonted as being propelled by Char
on with an oar. la Liycock 5 pic |

sail which Grant before leaving the
boat has neglected to fur!. The
sail bellies with the wind and any
ne can see that if Il boat blown by !
such Il wind ever struck bank as
! man was steppin- of, it would
arm him sonerSault intu the
,roup ahead {
Perhaps the artist left the sail
ct to convey the idea that Grant
belonged to the army and not the
,avy. There is monotony Of color
nd false perspective in the picture.

The State Senate has passed bill
making it felony to sell concealed
deadly weapons, (such as pistols,
dirks, bowie-knives, brass knucks,
slung-shots, etc., anywhere in the
State. The penalty is a fine of not
less than $25 nor more than 500, or
Imprisonment from ten to thirty days,
or both fine and imprisonment in the
discretion of the jury. 1t remains to
be seen what will be done when the
bill gets TO the Lower House. 1t is
more than likely that majority OF
the young bloods in that branch of
the Legislature are in the habit of
'toting" fire arms themselves.

Rev. Allen Allensworth, COL, who
was delegate TO the convention that
nominated Blaine and Logan, is thus
spoken of by the Washington corre-
spondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer :
"WAsHINGToN, Feb. 4.--Mr. Allen
Allensworth, of Kentucky, is an APP
plicant for one of the vacant Chap
lainships in the navy. Mr.. Aliens
worth is full-blooded negro, but a
Democrat. He is Endorsed by the en-
tire Kentucky delegation, including
Speaker Carlisle, who commended
him TO the Secretary of Warin a very
warm letter. To-day Mr.. Allensworth
had an interview with Secretary OF
War Endicott and with President
Cleveland. The former treated him
with distinguished consideration,
while the President told him he
would like to appoint him."
Is it possible that the Kentucky
delegation has endorsed man who
has been the most active colored Re.
publican in the state for years, and
recommended him as being Demo.
crat? Allensworth's conversion tC
Democracy must have been as sud.
den as the conversion of Paul tc
Christianity.

Bills have been introd uced for the
creation of two more new counties.
One of them is to be formed from
parts of johnson and Lawrence and
called Hindman and the other by d.
viding Ballard, the new county to be
named Carlisle. In the meantime
the disintegration of Rowan county
is being seriously considered by the
Legislature. There are already too
many counties and several of them
should be consolidated in the pauper
sections until the number is material
ly reduced. Christian is very large
county, but we manage to get along
as we'll as any county in the state one
half its size. 1t is nonsense 10 organ
ize every neighborhood into pauper
county.

Frank Straus, of Bullitt, one of the
youngest members of the Lower
House of the Legislature, is taking
the lead in all measures of retrench-
ment and is the most practical reform
member in either House. He has
introduced a number of bills looking
to economy and is doing more solid
work of the right sort than any other
half dozen Representatives. One of
his bills just passed makes counties
pay for transferring prisoners for
any cause whatever and will save
money for the State. Another good
bill is to make counties maintain
their own pauper idiots, 1t will be
acted upon next Monday and ought
to become a law.

The TINES suggests Hopkinsville
as the place of holding the conven-
ton for the nomination of Judge of
the Court of Appeals. The place is
accessible from all points, with good
hotels and everything else to make it
a desirable place for the meeting.-
Madisonville Times.
The convention should be held
here by all means. We have not on
ly the advantages named, but well
arranged and commodious room,
while the telegraphic facilities are
the very best, there being two offices
here. Both Judge Lindsay and
Judge Bowden were nominated here
and there is every reason why the
next convention should be held here.

The pleuro-pneumonia bill was dis
cussed in the House Thursday and
Friday. The Times correspondent
had this reference to Christians rep
resentative:
"Mr. Breathitt, the eloquent young
member from Christian, made Wig
orous speech in opposition. He does
not speak often, and when he does
turn himself loose he rouses all the
echoes in the old hall. He said he
would never support measure which
allowed the Bluegrass farmers to
thrust their hands into an already
impoverished treasury. and take $6,-
600 of the peoples money to pay for
private property"

Garheld's Remains.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 6.-Lake View
Cemetery presented beautiful and
picturesque view this morning. The
silent sentry pacing back aud fourth
in front of the Garfield vault and all
was silent as the tomb. Suddenly
three conveyances appeared on the
scene, which brought handsome
bronze sarcophagus, the undertaken
and four representatives OF the press.
No one else was present but James
r. Garfield, Lieut.. Edwards and the
soldiers stationed at the Garfield
post. The transfer OF the remains of
the late President James A. Garfield,
has been under consideration for
some time, and the little gathering
was for this purpose. The casket
which contained all that is mortal Of
the martyred president, rested in its
usual position in the vault, and its
shellac stained sides presented a nat
ural appearance. The withered
flowers were there and evidences on
every hand showed that the lllustri-
GUS dead was remembered by loving
friends.
The casket was not opened, but
was quietly placed IN the sarcopha-
gus under the direction of the under
taker. The outer covering was then
Theoretically sealed and the remains
were lost to mortal view forever.
The sarcophagus was then returned
to the vault, where it will remain
until the handsome monument which
is to be erected in memory of the
honorcd dead is completed.
The sarcophagus is work of art
and is the finest article of the kind
ever manufactured in this country.
1t is of solid bronze metal, handsome
ly ornamented and weighs $50
pounds. The top is partially oval
and massive bands run along the
sides and ends. The entire sarcopha-
gus rests on four lions feet, one at
each corner, indicating strength. A
handsome tablet of superior work
manship was placed on the top of the
sarcophagus. 1t is six by fifteen
inches, was designed by Tiffany and
cannot be duplicated for $500. One
man was employed for forty-five days
in doing the chasing work. AT each
end are lilies and oak leaves, and
acorns ornament the projections in
the centre, while lichen and calican-
thus are intertwined giving beauti-
full effect. The tablet is symbolical
of the dead president, symbolizing as
it does his love of home, by the
lichens, his love of mankind, by the
calicanthus, his purity,by the lily,and
his courage, by the oak. The cost OIL
the sarcophagus was $1,000. The
military guard about the vault will
be continued until the latter part Of
next June.

that the State is in debt about $780,

cutting down expenses. The Geo.
