AN AUSTIN ARTIST.
A Splendid Piece of Austin Art
Work.


Sister M. Florentine, the directress of
the department. of fine arts at st. Mary's
academy, has just put the finishing
touches to as fine piece of art work as it
has been our pleasure to witness for many
year. 1t is in great part the work of
the advanced pupils in painting at the
academy, and is intended as a gift to
! Very Rev. Father Sorin, G. s. c., superior
general of the congregation of the Holy
Gross, on the occasion of the celebration
of his golden jubilee, or fiftieth anniver-
sary of his elevation to the priestho od,
on the 18th of August next. Of the many
| articles of art and vertu that shall be pre-
sented on that occasion, The STATESMAN
feels confident that this one from Austin
will be one of the most beautiful and OBJ
tain prominent and honorable place in
the collection.
The design is unique. The outline and
framework is a lore star, in scroll wor k,
gilt, and otherwise ornamented by the
artists, and incosing beautiful copy of
Murillo's celebrated picture OF the assump-
ton of the Blessed Virgin into Heaveu-a
festival, by the way, that the Catholic
church celebrates on the 18th
of August, Father Sorin's jubilee. OF
the many copies of the great Spanish
artists masterpiece this is one of the
finest that we have seen. The picture is
in oil. Besides the central figure of TIE
Madonna, with arms folded and the ores
cent moon under her feet, there are prob
ably no less than eighty heads of cherubs
in various positions, in which design ard
color beautifully harmonic. The work is
one of which Austin may well feel proud.
The STATESMAN is confident that it will
speak well at its northern destination for
Austin's art and artists.

PATRIOTIC MEETING,
Enthusiasm, Eloquence and Tu-
multuous Patriotism.
The Distinguished Patriots Re.
fused to Tell the Proceedings,
but they are Published
All the Same.

A committee of the so-called union
labor party held meeting Sunday after
noon, at the Shipman house.
There were from all accounts four able
and very distinguished patriots present;
Mr.. Marcus, D. L. Mcfarland, j. W. John
son and Charlie Mclaughlin.
Each of the gentlemen wore a white
shirt and determine d-to- save-the-c oun-
try countenance.
Their coming together, to them, was an
event not to be sneezed at, and The
STATESMAN reporter, who was snuggly en-
scOnced in an adjoining room, can safely
aver that not man of them sneezed.
The meeting of the three able and dis
tinguished patriots on the holy Sabbath
was awfully solemn, and silence brooded
over the quarte!te with north pole
density.
They were there to save the country,
and the country should be profoundly
thankful.
After wrestling with the silence few
moments, d. L. Mcfarland was called to
the chair.
Mr.. johnson then took the floor and in
a graceful manner, entertained his large
crowd with brilliant speech, in which
he graphically depicted the country going
to the "demnition bow vows" and told
just how it could be saved. Mr.. johnson
saved it once in the greenback party, and
the process is not new to him.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then calmly unfolded
himself, ard gazing out over the throng
of Marcus, D. L. Mcfarland and j. w.
Johnson, proceeded to tell what hs knew
of saving the country, he having had some
very vivid experience in the greenback
saving service. During the address the
chairman aud the balance of the great
audience Mr.. Johnson) were visibly
affected and at times unanimously sobbed.
The vast aggregation then, with one
voice, resolved to meet in county conven-
ton on Saturday, August 4, the day set
for the meeting of the republican oonven-
ton. On that day the two able bodies
will hob mob with each other, and they are
to agree on ticket. Many names were
mentioned Sunday,an list will be handed
in at both conventions on Saturday, the
4th of August. The leaders of both
parties are fixed for pulling the wool over
the eyes of the darkies.
After everything was comfortably fixed
Sunday, the crowd dispersed.
Nor left wreck to designate the scene.
In the political sea they swan, perfect
whales.
They'll come ashore very poor sardiues.

A True Story Of the Calumet and
Hecla.

John Harrington was so lucky in the
May drawing of the Louisiana State Lot
terry. Like the substantial, matter of fact
man that he is, he continues as engineer at
the Atlantic Mining company's stamp mill.
His ticket, which was one-tenth of No. 21,-
492, the one that drew the second capital
prize of $4,000, was the second that he
had bought in the Louisiana State Lot
terry. His prize was collected for him by
the National Bank of Houghton. 1t was
promptly invested by him in stock of the
