DECORATIVE NEEDLEWORK.
Condition of the Art in 1s51-Improved
Taste--Some Criticisms.

Condition of the Art in 1S51-Improved
Taste--some Criticisms.
The revival of embroidery was the
natural outcome Of the general revival
4 Of decorative art to which the great ex-
hibition of 1851 gave such an important
! impulse. At no time in the history OF
English art had decorative needlework
reached such state of absolute debase-
ment as in the first half of present
century, nor was it alone in that I'M
eriviabie position. II is both interesting
and Illuminating to look back al the
illustrated catalogue of the great exhi-
bition, and gain an idea from what was
then thought worthy of engraving, of
the condition of the art OF the day.
Decorative needlework, however, had
ceased to be an art at all, for ecclesiasti-
cal purposes it still fingered on, but
secular embroidery had sunk into the
abomination of desolation known as
Berlin wool work.
A better state of things no doubt ex-
lists now; but while it is well to measure
our progress by looking back and noting
how short q time has elapsed since toe
decline of the decorative arts had
reached what we may hope was its low
est ebb, it is painful to think how much
of this improved taste is mere fashion
the reproduction Of good models rather
than real renaissance Of art, on which
any reliance can be placed. The very
rebound carried us into phase of low
toned monotony which was certainly less
aggressive, but scarcely in itself more rea-
sonable than the snowy and pretentious
style which preceded it, because it was
a craze rather than the result Of any per-
ception of true art principles.
Hence we had forms of construction
which were passed as artistic by the
wouid-be cultivators Of the beautiful,
mere reproductions of a past era which
had come into fashion again, but which
were not beautiful in themselves; and
in coIoring it only needed to be tiingy
enough to be admired, There was, if
possible. greater absence of any
thought out harmony of color than in
the old Philistine days, when people did
at any rate guide themselves by COM
plementaries, even if of a most crude
and primitive kind The result was, as
we have said, generally less aggressive,
but in a true sense, often not more ar
tistic.--Art Journal.

Beasts stin Sacrificed in worship.

1t appears that there are still some
Christians in the Russian empire who
retain one characteristically pagan Gus
tom Of their forefathers-the sacrifice of
beasts as part of public worship. Not
long ago The St. Petersburgcr Zeitung
stated that this practice was in use on
certain occasions at Wyborg, in northern
Finland, among the Karetes, who are
devoted adherents to the Orthodox
church. The Sviet now states that the
same ritual survives among the Orthodox
islanders of Mantschinschari, ahou5
twenty-five versts from the monastery
of Walaam, where there is a chapel
dedicated to the Prophet elias. Several
times every year three oxen, and some
times more, are brought by Christian
pilgrims to the chapel in front of which
they are soemnly slaughtered amid the
ringing of bells The dead beasts, how
ever, are not now burned, as they
formerly were, but are boiled, and the
pilgrims, together with the villagers,
make Il hearty dinner oat Of the sacred
flesh.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The climax Of check was reached by
an imltator n New ! oril not long ago,
who went to studio on some bus ness
errani, availed himself OF tho momen-
tary absence of its occupant to make a
sketch and take color notes of picture
that he had on his easel. A week later
he sent a man around with his imita-
lion, asking lie artists for charity sake
to advance little money on it. The
first studio that this emissary visited
was that of the artist whose design he
had been 'unknowingly robbed of and
who, you may be sure, was anna Cd at
finding copy OF his picture thrust into
his face as collateral for prospective
loan. Next to that, perhaps the most
refreshing instance of GOODNESS was
furnished b. the cnterpris ng maker Of
plaster statucttes, who borrowed one of
william H. Beard model bears on some
pretext, made a multitude of copies of
1t, and sold them about the town.

ligence.

Was the OregOn's Loss Due to Neg
ligence.
There Ia to he an attempt to hold the
Cunard Company responsible for the loss
OF tAe personnel effects of the passengers
on the steamship Oregon. OF course the
only chance to make out case against
the company Is To show negligence. This,
it is alleged, can be done. The lawyers who
have been retained by quite number of
the passengers say that negligence is
shown by the following alleged facts
That although the steamer was on sound
ings, and In the track OF a multitude or
coasters, the Captain was not on deck /;
that the lookout was inadequate, or else
the schooner which caused the disaster
would have been seen when she was at
least mile away; that there were not
boats and life RATS enough 10 hold all
the passengers and crew; that
after the collision no proper effort
was made TO lift the hole in the steamers
side above the water line by heeling her
over; that no proper effort was made to
close the hole; that the compartment
bulkheads were inefficient, or were not
closed, and that although the engines ran
for two hours after the collision no at
tempt was made to beach the steamer or
run her towards the beach.
It is not improbable that the Cunard
Company will be able to show that there
was no negligence, even II all the allega-
tions are proven, but 1t is apparent that
there is chance for the passengers to
make out case and get Judgment. II, as
alleged. 1t was possible TO have seen the
schooner at the distance OF a mile or more
jury will be very apt to require the CON-
pany to show that the collision could not
have been avoided even IL the schooner
was seen at that distance. The trial.
doubtless, will result in clearing up seve.
raj points which now seem to be clothed
In mystery.

Making Gambling a Felony.

After one Of the bitterest contests OF the
decade the Senate bill making gambling
a penitentiary ofTense has passed the Ken
lucky House OF RepTes natives, and it is
believed it will receive the approval Of
the Governor. AS before stated in these
columns, the movement 70 secure the en-
actment OF such a law originated with The
Law and Order Society of Louisville,
which has for two or three years been
using every legal effort to suppress tue
public gaming houses OF that city. The
movement was only proposed after the
successful enforcement Of a similar law
had been witnessed In Tennessee, where
public gambling has been almost entirely
broken up, and where hundreds Of gam
blers have been compelled to abandon
their profession, or have been forced to
leave the State.
This victory OF the law and order loving
people Of Kentuckyis a notable one. The
influence of the gamblers has so perme-
ated the politics OF that Sta.e for many
years that the night against it seemed 10
be hopeless one. Their connection in
cluded high State and city officials, Sem
ators, Representatives. and leading citl-
zens in almost every part OF the common
wealth. so earnest were the efforts made
to defeat the bill that It's enemies resorted
to Parliamentary tactics. aided, it Is said,
by the Spe 'ker Of the House, who, while
in the chair, expressed his sympathy with
them. Thi: has been denied by the
Sneaker.
If the Governor approves the hill, it is
believed hat the power of the gamblers
will be permanently broken in Kentucky,
and that the most notorious and objsc-
tionabie features of their business will
speedily disappear.
There is little doubt that similar laws
will soon be enacted in other States. The
inadequacy OF light penalties tn break mp
gambling has been seen in every part OF
the country. The business Is not only a
seductive one to many people, but it is
often extremely profitable, and those who
are engaged in it are very loath to give it
