An English Carioaturist.

One of the most famous artists of
the staff of Puech, Mr.. Harry Furniss,
was asked: 'Do you find the promi-
nent statesmen easy to caricature as a
ruler"
Some of them. For instance, Sir
Charles Dixie, Sir William Harcourt,
Sir Drummond Wolff, Lord Salisbury
and Lord Randolph Churchill are easy
to catch. Mr.. Chamberlain's mouth
is n difficulty, but this is compensated
by his eyeglasses. MIR. Gladstone's
face is good when taken in a severe
aspect, but when you try to catch his
smiles the likeness goes. Lord Bea-
constield was the best subject for carl
cature we ever had. Among other
splendid subjects of tho past were Lord
Palmerston, Sir Robert Peel, Lord
Brougham, and Lord John Russell
Members of Parliament should abstain,
like actors, from growing boards,
otherwise they spoil themselves for
being made up by the caricaturists,
as old women, little boys, and other
| fayorite characters. Now, Lord Hart
ington is always Harrington. 1t is
impossible to transform him into any
other character. Parnelrs appearance
is constantly changing. One week he
will appear with shaggy beard and un-
shorn locks, the next all trim and
spruce, so that the caricaturist must DO
constantly on the qui vive. The safer
plan is to take mans type and stick
| to it. Bradlaugh is'a favorite subject
of mine, and in consequence OF my
caricatures of him, it has more than
once been limited to me that have
been in danger of kicking from one or
other of his admirers.
"Do any of the members object to
being caricatured?"
mo. When Mr.. Gladstone went
to Cannes for his health, the only pa
per he had sent to him was Punch, and
fayorite cartoons are frequently franz
ed and preserved in honored places by
the subjects of them. Lord Randolph
Churchill has one of Tennieps hang
ing in his room, which shows him as
clown taking the gun of leadership
from Sir Stafford Northcote as panta-
loon, to bring down Gladstone repre-
sented as growing cock. Sir Will
lam Harcourt, | believe, does not like
being made fun of, and he was angry
about my drawing in Punch, showing
a House composed of none but Har-
court, to which Lord Salisbury refer
red in one of his speeches. invented
Gladstone's collars which have become
proverbial. Through my continually
caricaturing Ashmead Bartlett's old
trousers, he was obliged to buy q Gew
pail Nj. -broadhurst,. the working
/ mems member, was once recognized
at a public meeting only by his extra
thick boots as caricatured in Patncfa.
The Sergeant-at-Arms has paid me
the compliment of pasting some OF my
black-beetle sketches of himself on the
walls of his private room in the House.
This room, by the way, is like little
club, which certain members have the
right of using. No politics are allow
ed to be discussed there, but good tel-
lowship prevails, and good stories and
excellent whisky make it very pleas,
ant retiring ground. The whisky is
kept in huge decanters bearing the
name OF the donor, and often when
the Irish members have been turned
out of the House by the Sergeant-at'
Arms, they have adjourned to thi:
room to talk over matters conviVially.'

Fergus Falls Journal: A paragraph
is going the rounds of the Eastern
press to the effect that it costs more
to ship a bushel of grain from the Red
river valley to st. Paul than it does to
ship it from st. Paul to Liverpool.
Such state of affairs as this does
more to retard immigration than all
the efforts do to advance it. What
this section wants and what it must
have is reasonable rates of transpor-
tation, and until it gets them it can
not be prosperous. If the rates were
reduced, the amount Of business
would increase in ratio that would
warrant the reduction. There are
enough railroads in the country to do
the business, and the cry for more
would be a good deal less fainter If we
had as favorable rates in this section
of the country. 1t is fact that it
costs us twice rs much to ship an arti-
Gle from ST. Paul to Fergus Fails as it
does from Chicago to st. Paul that
makes the shippers claIfor for more
roads.

Rev. S. 6. Smith, in a sermon in
st. Paul, Sunday, said: 1.-THE need of
the time is to find a common platform
for all temperance workers. 1t is too
late in the discussion to define license.
1t is not permission, but burden. 1t
is not government partnership with
the business, but it is government
hand upon its throat. We were asked
last Sunday night if we would pre-
vent three men being killed by help
ing murder two to save the third. l
reply, the illustration is an impossible
one. If it were possible, by every law
human and divine, I would save the
one mans life at every hazard. Pro-
hibitionists need to quit abusing the
enemies of the saloon who urge high
license as something better than free
whiskey. On the other hand, prohi-
bitlon needs to be better understood. "

viii You Hold T..:s Ford?

War creates attachments more last
ing than any other, and which are not
severed except in death. An incident of
the war established between General
Rosecrans and General S. w. Price,
of this city, peculiar relations.
which so far as General Rosecrans
is concerned, seem never to lose their
force. In the terrible struggle of Stone
river, when Gen. Rosecrans' right was
forced back and almost crushed by the
confederate advance, Gen. Rosecrans
sought out Gen. Price. then in COM
mand of brigade and holding a posi-
tion of great Importance, and addressed
him thus:
"Gen. Price, you command here, do
youp"
"Yes. SIR"
"Well. sir, will you hold this fordP"
II will try, general.
"Will you hold this fordp'
II will die in the attempt.
"That won't do" replied Gen. Rose
Grams. "Sir, will you hold this ford ?
Look me in the eye and tell me il you
will hold this positionp"
Gen. Price answered.: 81 will"
THAT will do" replied Gen. Rose
Grams. Il bid you good day"
Gen. Price redeemed his promise; he
held the ford. On the following day
his brigade bore the brunt of General
Breckinridge's awful charge with his
division of Kentuckian's and General
Rosecrans, for his gallantry and cour-
age on these two days, promptly and
earnestly recommended Gen.. Price for
promotion. =
The attachment of these two officers
was cemented as the war continued.
Later on, at the battle of Kennesaw
mountain, Gen. Price was dangerously
wounded at the head of his brigade in
a charge upon confederate fort, and
became separated by the vicissitudes o1
war from his old commander, but Gen
Rosecrans never forgot the hero of the
ford of Stone river. He watched the
future of his soldier friend with solici
tude, and has never failed to speak ,
kindly word or do generous act fol
the assistance of his comrade.-Louis

Il have not read Miss Cleveland's 8
book" said Col. Ingersoll to report
er, ''but if the author condemns the
poetry of George Eliot she has made o
mistake. There is no poem in our Ian
guage more beautiful than The Low

the Choir Invisible. There is no
poetry in the beyond The poetry is
here-here in this world where love is

LIE Sueur Sentinel: 1t is evident
from the report of the railroad COM
missioners of Minnesota that the the
grain and warehousss law needs
amendment, ,-and it is also apparent
that TIE greatest relief the people can
get from railroad legislation must
come through stringent law prevent
ing discrimination in freights. That
there should be some difference in
rates between short and long hauls
will be admitted, but that one ship
per should have better rates than an
other in full car loads for the same
distance should not be longer tolerat-
ed. The railroads must be forced to
understand that all shippers shall
have equal privileges and equal rates.
The farmer who ships Il car load of
wheat or anything else must have the
same rate as the wheat buyer who
ships a dozen cars.

Inan article on advertising Med

In an article on Advertising Med
iums," Mr.. c. S. Gosse, of Boston.
himself an experienced advertiser.
gives utterante to the following well
timed and truthful remarks, which
are well worthy the consideration of
all classes of business men who have
occasion from time to time to make
business announcements to the pub
lie. ''The number of copies a paper
prints, although an important point,
is not the only one by which to judge
of its worth as an advertising med
iun. The character, influence and
standing of the paper in a communi-
ty are all equally important factors in
determining it's value as medium by
which to communicate with the peo-
pie of the section in which the paper
circulates. Experience teaches that
careful editorial guidance and super
lative care given to statements in the
news columns of a paper, as rule, rem
der its advertising columns much
more valuable than paper reckless
in it's assertions and lavish i'll its en-
dorsements of anything and every
thing under the sun. The influence
of a newspaper, commercially con-
sidered, is as the influence of an indi-
vidual. A man careless of his state
ments is not considered good author
ity or a reliable source of information !;
so a good newspaper with its editorial
opinions at the beck and call of any
one with bank account of sufficient
Dimensions soon loses its weight with
readers, who quickly discover it's un-
reliability and are careless even of
statements printed in the advertising
columrs-the advertising is then
about equally valuable as SO many
hand-bilis. The same rule applies to
papers depending upon sales effected
through making speciality of low
sensations; such newspapers are
bought to crafty curiosity, are culled
for the particular attraction, then
thrown away, and a reliable news
paper is consulted for the news. Of the
day, and the opinions of. the latter are
respected. This respect is to certain
| extent extended to the advertising
columns, and a subtle but Influential
endorsements is by the journals char
acter given to statements even though
known to be paid for and in the ad-
vertlsing department.. For instance,
a complimentary notice in u news
paper of known reliability and care
ful of it's assertions, as all advertisers
well know, is worth more than the
fippant statements of one whose
praise is unlimited and whose unqual-
ified editorial endorsement of any
body or anything is obtainable for a
