The ChevaIIer Paul PetrOvits. Il. A.
The presence in Calcutta OF the Chev-
alier Petrovits, r. \, affords perhaps
the rarest instance on record of India or
any Eastern country revisited after a
long lapse OF years. Forty years ago NJ.
Petrovits was well known as an eminent
painter in various parts OF India, and
he accompanied Lord (then Sir Henry
Hardinge TO the Puniab. At Lahore he
painted the portrait of Sir John Littler,
the Deputy Governor of Bengal; also
that of the Maharaja Dhuleep Sing, then
nine years Of age. He left Calcutta in
1916; he returned in December, 1885.
His former soiourn in this city brought
him into constant intercourse with cir
Gle of society, distinguished alike in art
and literature, which included the names
of Henry Torrens, Meredith Parker, Sir
Edward Ryan, w. Popham Palmer, Drs.
Jackson and Wallich, D. L. Richardson,
Longueville Clark and others, Sir Fred
erick Halliday and DR.. Mouat being
among the few survivors.
NJ. Petrovits has been staying for some
time at the capital of the Sandwich
Islands, whence he has been commits
stoned by the King to paint portr ats OF
several illustrious personages in differ
ent parts of the globe. His Majesty's
visit a few years ago is well remembered
in India, and his cultured taste and
genial disposition are known in all the
countries visited by him during his tour
du monde He has proved himself a
wise ruler, and has won golden opinions
from all sorts OF people in the Western
hemisphere One of his latest acts was
the introduction of his own currency,
and his silver dollar is one of the most
handsome specimens of modern coinage
He is fortunate in having secured the
services of such an artist. M-.potrCZy-iitts
has already painted portraits of their
Excellencies the Viceroy and Countess
of Dufferin, and the hkenesses are very
pleasing, especially the portrait OF Lady
Dufferin. Mr. Petrovits is about to pro-
coed further East, with letters for the
Maharaja of JohoTe and King of Siam.
He has been further commissioned by
King Kalakaua to proceed to Egypt, and
thence to Europe, in order that the royal
palace at Hawaii may be decorated here
after with portraits of the Khedive, the
King and Queen of Italy, and other
royal personages with whom His Majesty
became personally acquainted during his
visit to Europe Calcutta English

Tell the Truth.

The Philadelphia Press avows that Mr..
Blaine would have been elected in 1854
but for the stupidity or perversity of
Burchard and the blunder of a Delmonico
dinner"
The Press leaves its readers somewhat in
doubt as to whom il holds responsible for
these blunders. If to them was due the
defeat of Blaine there is no one to blame
but himself and if his party regrets his
defeat it should hold him to deserved ac-
countability for the result.
The Delmonico dinner, or /" Belshazzar' s
feast" which was held to demonstrate that
he was the favorite of the millionaires and
monepolists was approved by him and he
became its willing guest upon his own
judgment and pleasure. He considered
there was ten thousand dollars under each
plate for his campaign fund and that he
ate and drank political salvation with that
company. 1t was short-sighted conceit.
The vulgar pretentiousness of the whole
affair disgusted many and captivated few.
The party was the loser, but who was re-
sponsible if not Blaine
When Burchard blurted out his fatal
"rum, Romanism and rebellion" had
Blaine been sincere man, instead of an
unprincipled demagogue, feverishly anx-
ious to make votes, his honest impulses
would have prompted him to resent the in
suit to his mothers religion and to the
patriotism and morality of half the people
OF the country. He failed to do it ard lost
such a chance as had never occurred to
him before or since. Nobody but himself
was responsible for this failure. If the
Press would tell the truth it could easily
demonstrate that the chief perversity and
blunders of that campaign were its candi-
dates. We hope he will be given another
chance to swim the whirlpool in 1855.

a CORRESPONDENT of the Pittsburg Dts-
patch has csbled an interesting interview
with the archbishop of Dublin. lie is conh-
dent of the eventual success of the home rule
movement, though it may come not from
the Liberals but from the Tories In spite of
this he thinks the outlook gloomy because
OF the land question which is no nearer solu-
ton than ever, tbs archbishop thinks In
illustration of the difficulties that beset the
solution of this question he tells of an
English gentleman who having studied the
question IN all its bearings took the view that
the difference between the tenants and their
landlords was purely religious one, the
staunch Catholic peasantry being unwilling
to let so much money go into Protestant
pockets. He then concluded that the oues.
ton was political one but finally reached
the view of the case that is taken by most
people outside OF England, but by few IN
England that the question is neither politi-
cal nor religious but purely commercial. As
the archbishop pithily says: 1t is a struggle
between the landlords, as a class who insist
upon obtaining extravaganuy exorbitsnt
rents Tor the land, and the tenants, as a class
VINO are unwilling and indeed unable to pay
more than the land is really worth.

A Distinct Difference.

The Philadelphia Record says that in
one of the departments of that city's
government, certain percentage of the
expenditures has been paid into fund
from which dividends were statedly paid
by check to those appointed to enjoy them.
The Record seems to think this was re-
tinement on the New York plan, where a
dummy gets the Office and the other fell
lows get the contracts. 1t would I've hard
for any one to improve on the Philadelphia
officials method of filling his pockets. 1t
has been practiced with impunity and sue
cess SO long that il has become very per-
feet and as 1t is handed down from genera
ton TO generation it may be expected TO
improve in efficiency each year. Before
long We expect TO have a proposition from
the city regency to administer the affairs
of the town for a percentage of the re-
ceipts and it would be very good propO-
sition for the city to accept, if aly assur
ance could be felt that the percentage
would be a satisfactory one, and would
stop further stealing. Probably in view of
the safety and decency of the percen tage
system, as compared with the present prac~
tice, the bosses might consent 10 smaller
dividend.
In Philadelphia Republicans have con-
troll, while New York is managed by
Democrats. The consequence naturally is
that the New York rascals are
tripped up and sent to Jail every few
years, while the PHILADELPHIA robbers,
though sometimes exposed, are never pun
ished unless it may be some poor tool like
MajorPhipps 1t is notable fact that Demo-
cratic thieves are always thrown to the
wolves by their party, when they are found
out, while the Republican leader is hardly
shaken in his hold upon his party by the
most convincing proof f his rascality.
