swaying forms, bent forward in at
titudes of intensest interest. At the
foot of the stairs are the huge forms
of the malefactors, lifting up the
heavy wooden cross which is about to
be placed upon the delicate shoulders
of Him who in that shameful burden
bore the sins of fallen world. To the
left of the picture, little way from
the bottom of the steps, pressed back
by the spear-shafts OF the unfeellna
soldiers, and hemmed in by the surging
crowd, appear two female forms, one OF
them pale and delicate, though very
beautiful, arrayed in blue and white.
whose sad face, sinking frame, down
cast eyes and sweet and silent expires
sion of sorrow, touching enough to
melt a heart of stone and to fill
the eyes of all who behold her with
tears, contrast strangely with the
vehement grief of her companion, who,
throwing up her hands and uttering a
despairing cry, sinks upon the ground
where she is in momentary danger OF
being trodden under foot by the heed
less and bowling multitude. The first
is Mary the Virgin Mother, through
whose tender soul the prophetic
"sWord" is even now piercing, bat who
has braved the agony of the ordeal and
dared the dangers of the occasion, to
obtain a passing farewell glimpse OF
Him who is her SOULS idol, the b.
loved being to whom, but three and
thirty years before, she had given
mortal birth. Her companion is Mary
Magdalene.
On all sides CLEAN the distorted
vissges of the rabble, their eyes glisten-
ing with hatred. their tongues utter
ing excavations. One can almost hear
the shouts of Cruelty Him! Cruelty
Him !" swelling up from their mad
dened threats. Here and there amid
the throng may be picked out faces
that suggest for their owners members
of the apostolic twelve, sad, silent and
non-committal, the trem bling victims

and patient expression, and imparting
such a vivid phase of reality that in
stinctively our hands go up to our own
foreheads, as if to relieve by counter
pressure the cruel anguish of the I'M
complaining martyr whose ubiime suf-
fering we behold. The hair and beard
of the Savior are of sunny auburn,
and interwea wing the tresses that fall
gracefully upon his shoulders,
course streams of deeper scarlet from
the wounded brow above. The eye has
wonderful expression. Full of anguish
softened by patience, and of holy!indig
nation kept down by a compassion
more divine. There is no weakness in
that look. 1t is the face of
manhood, of Gedhood, in distress. No
petty anger CLEANS in that celestial eye.
but from its wondrous depths the soft
rays of pity shed their lustre like the Stars
1t is the look of a martyr going willingly
to His grave, the aspect of king, all
conscious of the power He could WELD,
but unwilling to exercise it for His own
preservation or the punishment of His
prosecutors. Around the head plays
delicate halo, so soft and subdued as to
be all but unnoticeable; not as il put
there by the painter hand, but as eman-
ating from the face itself, or as if the
cloud hung skies, already dark with
the impending shadows of divine dis
pleasure, had rlfted suffic emily to send
forth single ray of light upon the sor-
row-bowed soul of the mighty sufferer,
and while the dove-like sign of the
Holy Ghost descended upon Him, the
voice of tie Eternal Father was again
heard whispering: This is My beloved
Son, in whom am well pleased"
The Savior, for the moment, is stand
ing alone, freed by the repellant force
of his own majesty from the desecrat-
ing touch of those who are thirsting
and clamorIng for his blood. The
broad fight of steps down which he is
slowly vending his way, is besieged on
both sides by the excited populace,
frantically eager to catch glance at,
or gloat insultingly over the downfall of
the despised Nazarene, and only res
trained from Offering violence to his
person by the pretended spears of the
Roman soldierV, engaged in clearing
the path towards Calvary. The balconies
and high places on either hand
are filed with excited faces and

of human hope and fear. More
than half way up the steps, a
little in the rear and TO the
left of the Savior stands a group of
three persons, richly appareled in sac
erdotal robes, with haughtiness of mien
and malignant triumph stamped on
every feature. In the foremost of these
We recognize Caiaphas, the High Priest,
and In the others, one bent with age
and the other more youthful, his no less
cruel, en- vious kinsmen and ass ociates-
Annas and Alexander.
But there is one face in all that
motley throng. upon which it is fearfnl
to gaze. Second only to that of Christ
in power of attraction, though for far
different reason, and so hideous of as
pect as to send a shudder through the
soll of the spectator, what shall we
say, what can we say of the counter
auce of Judas, the accursed Half
hidden by the crowd, yet plainly con-
spicuous from the position he holds,
not daring to see or be seen by Him
whom his polluting kiss betrayed, visit
full to fly, yet powerless to move, and
feeling, Notwithstanding his conceal
ment, that the ali-searching eye of the
Master is even now reading the secret
thoughts of his heart, he stands as if
riveted to the spot by the conscious
horror of his crime, glaring gloomily
askance from behind the greenish cowl
which lends additional responsiveness to
his features, and quailing like a coward
from some invisible foe. endeavoring
in vain to quiet the pangs of con-
science, now darting like poisoned
arrows through his soul. It is in
deed fearful sight. The quintessence
of horror aud remorse! Perdition per-
sonifed He'll in one human counter
ance! Awful even to gaze at, what must
it have been to endured AS we stand
spell-bound before that terrible picture
of misery and guilt, our sympathy for
the condemned Savior is turned into pity
for the wretch who betrayed Him. And
we'll may he be pitied. No man need
suffer hell who looks and feels as that
man does. No wonder the Son of God
could commiserate His murderers, and
invoke the clemency of heaven
upon the ignorant, unthinking rabble
who clamored for His sacrifice.

not what they dol" But for Judas,

the wilful sinner against light and
knowledge, what rem aineth for him

In the dim perspective, near the por-
tails of the Hall OF Judgment, having
the statue of Caesar and an interior
view of Jerusalem for the background
are outlined the forms of Plate, the
Roman Governor, and Herod the
tetfarch of Galilee, who were made
friends together" that day; the former,
distinguished through the gathering
darkness by his long, red toga, appe ar
ing by his attitude and gesture to dis
claim all responsibility for the tragedy
then being enacted-the Judicial

There are various other features,
though 1 have mentioned the main
ones, of this remarkable creation
appreciated by being seen. "Christ
leaving the Praetorium" is master
piece, both of conception and execu-
ton, a sermon to whose silent
eloquence the dulle3t ear could not
listen in vain.
NJ. Dore has numerous other paint
ings, all of them excellent, and many
magnificent. but the one l have at
tempted to describe is undoubtedly the
browning effort of his life, eclipsing by
its sun like splendor the brightest oil

with the subdued radiance of its satel
lies. o. F. WHITNEY.

younger in years, despite also the
further fact that she is far ahead of this
city in those directions that indicate
rapid municipal progress, any compari-
son which undertakes to place Salt Lake
behind that city because of the existing
differences, is done without a knowl-
edge of the facts, or with the design of
injuring the reputation Of Salt Lake.
Until within year, all that has been
done for this city has been accom-
plished by the citizens here. The exist
ing wealth discernible to the eye has
been brought by the toll of our citizens,
while much has been taken out of Utah
to enrich other localities. 1 take it that
many of those who are loudest in the
proclamation of the backwardness of
this city can recall very many men who
have come here as poor as church mice,
who have become very wealthy, and
have not left so much as one stone upon
another to show that they ever existed
in this locality, or have made

and have left that they
might spend it in other places. OF
course. they had a right to do this.
And they did it; but they had neither
love for the country that made them,
nor good will enough to return any of
her wealth to the channels through
which they produced it, or to encourage
others TO
MAKE THIS THEIR HOME.
Ever since We have been a Territory
this has been one of our great draw
backs, and all that has been accom-
plished has been by the poor and with
out any outside assistance. Had Utah
and Salt Lake City as her principal
municipality, been permitted to hold |
her own, or had that which has been
taken from her, been replaced in manu-
features or structures, it would have
nattered very little to Salt Lake City |
we had received any exterior |
assistance or not. She could have held |
her own amidst the best of modern |
,ities in the west. But as before stated.
