any cost They do it merely to supply the
demand among their readers for such Illus
trations and not with fendish desire to dis
tress nice people. If the persons whose pho
tos are wanted refuse to give them, then the
next best thing is done by the newspapers,
which is to get them some other way The
honorable ones often have skillful artist
steal upon the person unawares, and with
sketch which is recognized at once News
papers have many other ways of getting por-
traits. In fact there is no such thing as their
not being able to obtain one. Therefore
if a respectable journal wants your portrait
give it quietly and graciously.

to suspend a car. which viii be about 100

He played prominent part in the politics

Mississippi at the time of the election of
Abraham Lincoln but resigned when the
state seeded. At Montgomery he was in
augurated president of the Southern Confed-
eracy, Feb 49, 1861.
Great enthusiasm was manifested at the
ceremony. It was in the evening. Mr..
Davis stood upon the veranda of the state
capitol building and made his speech of
acceptance.
In 1851 he was welcomed to Montgomery
with enthusiasm. The mayor and distin-
guished citizens met him eight miles out of
town and gave him greeting At the rail-
way station a cheering crowd awaited him
He made ringing speech to them, telling
them that all who opposed secession would
be made TO asmell southern powder and feel
southern steel" That promise, at least, was
kept. The scene of the speech was strange
spectacle Two negroes stood, one ON each
side of him, holding each lighted candle,
that the crowd might see his features.

he is i'll. 1t is race between the newspapers
and the doctors. which on the one hand can
tell the most and on the other can conceal

Mr.. Arthur seems to be really in an alarm
ing condition. Not long since his old pastor,
who breaches in the church President Arthur
used to attend in Washington. was sent for
to go from that city to New York and visit
the invalid. Now, a man does not usually
send for a preacher unless he has good reason
to suppose that it is all up with him. More
over, any one who within a year has met the
ex-president in the street in New York city
must have been struck with the look of age
and declining health that seemed to have
suddenly cone over him. No wonder. 1t
is enough to kill a man to be president of the

construction and out and out lying, in short
to which he is subject, must break man of
