ing the Battle of Manassas,
The cyclorama of the battle Of
Manassas, or second Bull Run, Is at

for the benefit of those who have not

ing country. In the centre of the build
ing in which II Is located Is raised
platform, upon which the spectator
stands. Below the platform is the
natural ground, upon which short pine
trees and bushes are growing. Stones,
old muskets, canlecns and equipments
are slrcwn about, and an army ambu.

il is difficult TO distinguish where the
real foreground ceases and the paint
ing begins Several figures of soldiers
are stretched upon the ground, with
little streams Of blood trickling along
in the sand. These are partly painted
and partly artificial forms, and the

lutcly impossible to distinguish be.
tween the painted and artificial.
Asa work Of art the picture demands
more than passing attention. II was
executed under the direction of M.
Theodore Poilpot of Paris famous
French artist, assisted by nine or ten
talented and wcll.known French artists,
all of whom have been admitted to the
French Salon In order TO gain cor
rect idea of the battle field. two months
were spent by the artists in the neigh.
borho0d of Manassas painting studies
of the landscape, and four months were
consumed in executing this picture.
All the figures in the foreground are
life like. The lights and shadows in.
troduccd are excellent in the vividncss
of their portrayal AS astudy Of his
tory the cyclorama is excellent, as no
better idea OF the famous battle and
those who fought II can be gained than
by half an hour spent in looking at the
picture. The building is,wcll warmed. :.

sages are carpeted, and comfortable
seats provided. An elegantly furnished
ladies parlor with toilet room and

The cyclorama is here to stay. A
large amount of money has been spent
in erecting the building. and it is II
permanent affair. 1t is open from o

lecture being delivered frequently.

The Language OF Sealing. Wax.

AS 1t is the correct thing nowadays, says
the Boston Gazette, to seal letters with wax
instead of muciage, our readers may be In
terested 10 know that the color Of the wax
possesses significance of itself which is
not generally known. The ordinary red
wax signifies business and is supposed to be
used only for business letters; black is OF
course for mourning and condolences; blue
means love, and In the four or five tints of
this color each stage of the tender passion
can be accurately portrayed. When pink
is used congratulation is intended. An in
vitation to wedding or other festivity is
sealed with white wax Variegated colors
are supposed to show conaicting emotions.

Bishop Merrill on Prohibition.

Bishop s NJ Merrill says Of prohibition:
"Laws concerning morals, religion, the Sab
bath, and all such questions, to be effective
must be non-partisan; and such must bs
prohibition. There is not in il one single
political element In order to make party,
it becomes necessary 20 add to it other issues,
and every added issue is an added source Of
weakness. Prohibition is strongest when il
stands alone 1t is stronger to-day than any
party measure before the country, or than
any party in the country; and it is SO strong
that if kept free from party complications,
no party in existence will venture TO antag-
onize it when its power is once shown in non-
party action. 1t is stronger than any man
or any candidate for office can possibly be-
The attempt to use it for party purposes
is weakness 1t is too big for
restriction within party lines, and the
interests involved in it are to sacred to be
subjected to party machinery. Ny concern
is that it be kept in shape for advocacy on
its merits in the pulpits, the Sunday schools,
and in the homes,of the people, and whenever
truth may be pressed on the conscience without
the helps or hinderanceS Of party prejudices.
II this non-partisan advocacy embarrasses
the party, that only proves the failure of the
party to represent the cause. The cause is
principle; the party is method, and the
method is too small foT the principle By its
confession of embarrassment from non par
tisan advocacy, the party confesSes itself to
be an embarrassment TO the cause
THE Democrats are boasting that they
have a campaign lie to spring on the very
eve Of the election, which they expect to
prove effective, as it will be too late to be
proven false People of Ohio are too intelli-
gent to take any stock in any foul ISLANDERS
they may disseminate late in the campaign.
