MILLET'S MORAL COURAGE.
How the Great Painter Kept True to His
Art and Confession of Faith"

Art and Confession of Faith"
In 1859 he finished the "Angelus"
| which as a record of one of his earliest i'm
pressions was especially dear to him. He
| asked Sensier, who came to see the picture,
what he thought of it. "Why, it is the
Angelus," exclaimed his friend, "you can
hear the belisr' Millet was satisfied. It
had been his endeavor to give the music
of the distant church bells in these Bonded
figures of peasants who leave off work to
pray at the sound of the Ave Maria. But
it was months before the "Angelus" found
purchaser. Since Millpts death it has
changed hands again and been sold for
$4,000. The same year he completed "La
Mort ct lie Bucheron," subject taken
from La Fontaine's fable of the WORKOUT
wood-cutter calling for death to ease him
of his burden, and shrinking back in hor-
ror when his prayer is heard and the grim
skeleton appears. This picture, on which
Millet had spent infinite pains, was re-
jected by the Salon. He felt the blow
keenly, and saw in the decision of the Jury
an attempt to crush his art. "They wish
to drive me into their drawing-room art"
he said. mo, no, peasant / was born
and peasant | will die l will say what
| feel and paint things as l see them" He
found able defenders in Alexandra Dumas
and NJ. Paul Mantz, but his art was too
new, too original for the Partisan world.
Even mis- friends deplored his excess of
| austerity, and complained that he deliber-
ately chose ugly and repulsive types. Corot,
| who knew him personally, frankly owned
that he saw great knowledge and STYLE in
Millet's pictures, but that they frightened
him. He was reproached on all sides as a
| demagogue, Saint Simonis. The inso-
lence of his foes waxed fiercest round his
"Homme a la Hue" when that picture
was exhibited in the Salon in 1868. 1t
was then that he wrote the famous letter
which Sensier calls his confession of faith !:
The gossip about my 'Homme a la
! Hue seems to me all very strange. Is
| it impossible to admit that one can have
some sort of an idea in seeing man de-
voted to gaining his bread by the sweat of
his brow ? They tell me that | see no
charms in the country. / see much more
than charms-I see infinite glories. | see
as well as they do the little flowers of
which Christ said that Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one OF these.
| see the aureoles of dandelons and the
sun spreads out beyond the world its glory
in the clouds. But | see as well, in the
plain, the steaming horses at work, and, in
a rock place, man, all worn out, whose
han has been heard since morning, and
who tries to straighten himself moment
and breathe The drama is surrounded by
beauty. 1t is not my invention. This
cry of the ground has been heard long
ago. My critics are men of taste and edu-
cation, but / cannot put myself in their
shoes, and, as | have never seen anything
but fields since | was born, try to say as
best | can what saw and felt when | was
at work. "-Nineteenth Century.

Turning to the Right.

The custom of turning to the right is
not by any means universal in the United
States, as is readily forced upon ones notice
by visit to Charleston, S. c., and other
Southern cities, where the English custom
is still retained. "Turn to the right" is
the memorable law Of custom in Philadel-
phia, New York, Boston, Chicago and
other large commercial cities, but in some
cities of less magnitude there is absolutely
no custom whatever, and it is 10 the right
or left, as opportunity offers.-Notes and

LITTLE RUTH AND HER poI.I.

Ruth, little, delicate, fair-haired girl,
had been told size could go in the country
with her mother next Monday. She i'm
mediately commenced to get ready. She
took her immense rag doll called Victoria
Marguetta, and with a piece of stick she
began to play comb her hair, and in an
authoritative tone she said: CHOW, Vic
toria Marguetta, you can't go one step to
the fresh-air fund if you have dirt in your
head, for they would send you right back,
my lady; what do you think Of that ?''
Then shaking Victoria Marguetta until
her head fairly Topped, she exclaimed
" Now, none of your sniveling; 'sposin /
did pull your hair little, | guess you can
stan it, when you are goin' ost where eggs
grow, and where you can get apples what

your mouth water, when you dream of egg

A COON IN THE PULPIT.

A gentleman of Sparta, Ca, says q
writer in the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
has pet coon. Last Sunday evening he
made his appearance in the Presbyterian
church during the discourse of the Rev.
Mr.. Dixon. He remained quiet for some
time, then went into the pulpit, climbed
upon one Of the two tall-backed chairs,
twisted himself around about the top,
viewed the congregation from several diff
ferent positions, then mounted upon the
stand, drank water from the pitcher,
thrust one foot, then another into it, layed
his physiognomy, and then ambled back to
one of the pulpit windows, and planted
himself with satisfied look on his counten-
ance, apparently for the rest of the sermon.
But the minister did not seem to put much
confidence in the moral qualities of his
visitor, so he requested that the animal be
disposed of before services were further
proceeded with. w. A. Burwell came to
his relief, and drove his coonship from the
window and premises.

Conrad Jackson sentenc.d 70 Hang ut
Waco July 10.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, June conrad Jackson
was sentenced to-day in the District
court OF McLennan county to be hung on
July l6, 1883, for the killing OF John
Talley on july 16, 1887. Conrad Jackson
WAS convicted Of murder in the first de-.
gree, and his punishment assessed at
death at the October term Of the District
court, 1887. His case was appealed to
the Court Of Appeals and WAS affirmed by
this court
The crime Of which jackson stands con-
visted and sentenced is one Of the most
ever soiled the fair name Of McLepnan
county, and is speedily met with the sum-
mary punishment which it so richly de-
serves.
john Talley, the young man killed, was
one Of the rising young stockmen
and farmers of this county. Conrad
jackson was 3 colored farm hand
working on the farm of Mr.. Talley.
On July 16, 1887, while Talley was work
ing in his field Conrad Jackson sp-
preached him and 1t is presumed asked
for slight difference which occurred in
one OF their former settlements of &C.
counts. The amount was 50. Talley de-
MED the amount and turned his back to
the negro Jackson and continued work
ing. Jackson's cowardiy nature seizipg
tins opportunity pulled his deadly elk
shooter and shot Talley in the back OF the
head, causing instant desth. jackson then
mounted Talley's horse, which was
hitched to the pillow, and rode about FIVE
miles, when hs left the horse and stopped
with negro in the Tehuacsns bottom, for
the night. By this time Talley's body
was discovered, and great hue and cry
WAS raised, which surpassed anything Of
the kind ever seen in this county.
Officers and citiz Ems covered that
part OF the county. They came upon
Jackson, and he fed In the direction OF
Fairfield but Was caught the next day,
after travelling about forty miles on
foot. He WAS brought back sometime
sfterward, as /. was found Judge Lynch
couldn't await the laws delay, but would
meet out the punishment OF death upon
Jackson for the killing OF one OF Nc
Lehman county's most prosperous and
popular young men. So ends this heinous
crime which shocked the entire county st
the time of its commission.
There was one year between the COM
mission Of the crime and the execution.
