guage of an excellent critique on this
celebrated picture, lis nothing short of
an inspira tlon." had never before seen
a portrait of the Savior-and had seen
many styles, both ancient and modern
that came anywhere near suggesting, in
my opinion, a correct or consistent
idea of Him who died that man might
live. All other artists whose ideals L
have examined, in their anxiety to
make Him appear beautiful, have SIM
DIV rendered Him effeminate, al d in
nearly all paintings descriptive OF His
passion, in or Ter to depict the Intensity
of HIS suffering, they have impaired to
the countenance an expression OF
despair and pain as undigniied as ordi-
nary ard repulsive. These features.
together with the stereotyped corona,
blazing halo, or moon-like background
for the head, as unsightly and unnatural
as the feathered wings given to this day
by Christian llmners to their angels
and immortals, have invariably spoiled,
for me, every pictorial represe ntation
containing them. But Dore, with the
characteristic daring of true genius,
has departed entirely from these ira
ditions and conventionalities and given

SUCCESSFUL LAND CASES.
School Lands Thrown Open to Set
tiers by the Government.

There is probably no firm of lawyers
here SO successful in conducting diff
cult land cases as Messsrs. Stayner &
Simmons. They are in their element
when struggling with occupied school
lands, or appealing to the Commits :
sioner or Secretary of the Interior in
behalf of some unfortunate settler, and
they are almost always successful.
Their reputation has reached our
neigh boring Territories, and often
brings them business of this kind, after
the local lawyers have failed. It was
through the arguments of this firm
in 1880, that school lands were thrown
open to settlers who had suffered

and new era in land entries in the
Territories was the result, much to the

painting by M. GustaVe Dore, entitled
"Christ Leaving the Pr@torium," al
ready celebrated in Europe and Ameri-
ca, and pronounced by critics to be the
most wonderful production of palette
and brush that the present age can
boast. 1t was executed in Paris, from
1867 to 1872, but as the work was inter
rupted, it can scarcely be said to have
occupied that period in painting. AS
q matter of fact the time expended on
it was less than three years. 1t was in
a forward but unfinished state at the be-
ginning of the Franco-German war, and
during the siege of Paris lay carefully
folded up and hidden in the earth, to
preserve it from injury by shot and
shell or other impending casualties. At
the close of the bloody and ruinous
strife it was resurrected and brought
forth from it's fiery baptism and burial,
and as if still further a figure and type
of the divine character it portrays, per
fected and placed on high to elicit the
wonder and admiration of the world.
The first, though far from most i'm
portant feature that strikes the be-
holder Of this beautiful and sublime
specimen of art, is its immensely. The
canvas containing 1t is no less than
twenty feet in height by thirty in width,
and takes up one entire side of the
gallery. The figures covering it, of
which there is a veritable multitude,
are life size, and so strikingIy life-like
that at first sight they seem to be &C
tually moving about upon the canvas,
thus investing the picture with all in
expressible charm while clothing it with
all the semblance of fearful reality. The
subject is explained by the title Christ
leaving the Praetorium," the artist
having chosen for the theme of his
masterpiece that thrilling episode in
the history of our blessed Redeemer
where He, after being tried and con-
demned before Plate, is descending the
steep stairway leading from the Prae-
forum, or Hall of Judgment, on his
way to Golgotha, the scene of the
crucifxion.
The figure of Christ, to use the Ian
