A Mississippi Artist Abroad.

Miss Blanch McManus, Of Wood
vile, Wilkinson county, Mississippi,
one of the most gifted female artists
of America, and perhaps peerless in
Ibis country as a delineator of fruits,
flowers, leaves, ferns and the many
other beautiful things with which
dame nature gems her hadiworks, has
devoted her summer holidays to Wis
iting the art galleries ofBoston, New
York, Washington and other Eastern
cities but we doubt very much If in
all her rambles, she has found any,
thing to compare in fidelity of detail
and finish with her master piece in
the Mississippi Department of the
New Orleans Exposition, the fruits,
leaves and flowers of sixty of our for
est trees, painted upon panels Of the
several woods or the beautiful fruits
flowers and leaves of Mississippis
forests, gardens and orchards, paint
ed by her as bewitching surroundings
for the great white satin map OF Will
klnson county that formed one of the
exhibits on the oceasion.--A Aberdeen

IIitchcOcks Analyis Of the Bible.


WoODvILLr Miss, Oct. 9th 1885,

new and complete Analysis of the Bible
and am greatly pleased with it. 1t is
the most complete and onviently ar
ranged work OF the kind / have ever
seen, enabling one at once and with
but little trouble to find any verse or

No Substitute for IInrd Work.

The power 10 think for ones self has
too little standing in the schools and we
do not insist enough upon the apprecia-
ton of the worth of the school work
Too often we try to wheedle our children
into knowledge. We disguise the name
of work. mask thought, and invent
schemes for making education easy and
pleasant. We give fancllul names to
branches of study, make play with OBJ
ject lessons. and illustrate all things. To
make education amusing, an easy road
without toll, Is to train up a race of men
and women who will shun what is dis
pleasing to them. But there is no sub
stitute for hard work in school if we are
to have a properly trained people; we
must teach the value of work and over
come the indifference of children to ig-
norance. The Century.

Sketch Artist and Camera.

mo, do not think that amateur pho
Biography is supplanting out door sketch
ing" said "a well known Fulton street
dealer in artists materials n few days
since, in response to question of a re-
porter.
while do not say that the converse
of that proposition is true, | do know
for fact that a larger number of sketch
ing classes have gone into the country
this summer than ever before and, us a
rule, these classes have had a very large
membership. 1t is a theory of mine,
which, | think, can be really demon
strated, that there is readily no reason
why the sketch artist and the amateur
photographer should not work in perfect
harmony, and that the union will be
greatly to the benefit of both.
Il can give you an instance" he went
on, ''where the camera has been of un-
told service to one Of the artists on a well
known magazine. Formerly this artist,
of more than local renOwn, used to
sketch wholly from nature, but now,
when making a tour through England,
Scotland, or where he may chance to be,
he always carries his camera along, and
| when he comes across a pretty bit of
landscape, a ruired castle or ANYTHING
else he wishes to preserve, he at once
takes a negative. Thus you see that in
few weeks time he can take hun reds
of negatives, while months would be con
sumed on his tour if he were compelled
to sketch each view himself. When he
reaches home he throws the negatives
onto piece of cardboard, touches them
up with India ink, then in some way de.
composes the silver on the plate, leaving
the India ink drawing in its place. The
drawing is then photo-engraved and i.
published in the magazine as bona fidt
sketch, while, in fact, it is purely piece
of mechanical work. New York Mai
