Sculpture,

Sculpture must first be common
place, fashionable necessity In the
home life, before it can flourish greatly
and nationally in commonwealth like
ours. The field of the sculptor as the
rival of the painter in the daily affec-
tiOns of amateurs is practically un-
worked, scarcely suspected; yet the
signs OF its presence are on all sides.
One straw is the removal of an old
prejudice agaist plaster-casts, used in
lien of costlier materials. AS to what
is now called sculpture-backed as it
is by no large mass of trained. cultiva-
ted fosterers-the silent nation of
marble and bronze statues which men
think of when sculpture is mentioned
becomes already oppressive. Our parks
will soon offer the cluttered chaos of
the cemetery and become derision.
But will not then wider taste,
wearying of easel pictures and pictures
on the wall, carved woods and bric-a.
brac. turn to statuary for agreeable,
companionable forms of art, at once
calmer in temperament and more indie
structlble than the fashionable decora-
tions of our homes? 1t is only by be.
ginning at the fireslde that we can cut
tivate the public taste to the level of
Athens and Florence, and have the
knowledge to bid our sculptors grappel
with those grandest forms of art that
for their backgrounds demand sea, a
landscape, Orfa steepled town.

seems that in Greece it has always been
considered an unlucky omen for any

carries back these superstltions to

the vault of heaven ring by invoking
Jupiter when one of their number

Mark Twain's Courtship.

Mark Twain, if he Is in the mood,
|. will tell the story of his own courtship
in a manner worthy of the greatest
of living humorists. When he first
met the lady who afterward became
his wife he was not so distinguished as
now, his origin was humble, and for
some years of his life he had been a
pilot on the Missippi River. The future
Mrs. Clemens was woman OF position
and fortune; her father was judge
and doubtless expected family and
social Importance in his son-in-law,
Clemens. however. became interested
in his daughter and after awhile pro-
posed, but was rejected.
WELL he said to the lady. i didn't
much believe you'd have me, but J.
thought I'd try
After a while he tried again, with
the same result. and then remarked
with his celebrated drawl. Il think a
great deal more of you than 1t you'd
said Yes but it's hard to bear A
third time he met with better fortune.
and then came to the most difficult part
of lns task, to address the old gentle
man,
judge he said to the dignlfed
millionaire, shave you seon anything
going on between Miss Lizzie and
me?'
What? What exclaimed the Judge,
rather sharply, apparently not under
standing the situation, yet doubtless
getting a glimpse of 1t from the IN
quirv.
Have you seen anything going on
between Miss Lizzie and meP"
No. no. indeed!'' replied the mag
nate sternly. No, no, sir, L have
not?'
'Welll look sharp and you will. " said
the author of 'Innocents Abroad = and
that's the way he asked his judicial lu-
minary for his daughters hant.
Mark has a daughter who inherlts
some of her fathers brightness. Sne

noted the occurrences in the family,
and among other things, the sayings OF
her parents. On one page she wrote thaC
father sometimes used stronger words
when mother wasn't by and he thought
"she didn't hear. Mrs, Clemens found
the diary and showed it to her husband,
probably thinking the particular page
worth his notice. After this Clemens
said and did several things that were
intended to attract the child's atten-
tion, and found them duly noted after-
ward. But one day the following
entry occurred.

Laugh on a Lawyer.

AS funny thing as ever occurred In
a court happened at Napoleon, o., in
1889. before Judge Potter and a jury.
A case was on trial and an outsider
seated himself on one Of the puncheons
at the far end of the panel OF jurors.
there being no other available seat.
When the defendants counsel arose to
address the jury he scanned the face
Of each very closely, and naturally his
gaze was directed to the furthest man
from him, who didn't happen 10 be a
Juror at all. Glarihg at him he began:

know what this man (referring to the
plaintiff in the case) has come into

give due weight and emphasis to the

howled:

down the house. and the lawyer never

Method of Drying Buildings.

A new invention is reported for dry
ing buildings. A Russian engineer,
M. De Wrozinsky, has invented an ap-
paratus for drying buildings, which is
said to have proved very effective. 1t
is based on the principle of carbonic
gas rapidly absorbing the moisture of
the air, and to this end the inventor
has constructed closed stove burning
charcoal by the introduction OF air in
to it direct from the open through two
tubes. A steady current of dry, warm
carbouic gas Is allowed to escape into
the room to be dried, which rapidly
absorbs the moisture in the air, and es-
capes in the ordinary manner through
the chimney.

Sweetheart, when rhymes I make
For your dear sake,
You bring
Into your face smile,
To cheer me while

Like to that bird am I,
Which, when the sky
At night
A deeper azure grows,
No longer knows
Delight;
Or like of flowers that one
Which loves the sun
And gives
The beauty of its bloom
To him for whom
1t lives.
Pleasure nor joys to bless
Have l unless
Your face
Over my paper shines
And lights the lines
With grace.
For me your smile is day
The golden ray
That climbs
Imagination's wall
And sweetens all
My rhymes.

The flowers fresh kiss
And breath;
Nor may their nightfall come
Till both are dumb

ATTEMPTED Robbery.

| ASLCwpSOO AO0Ocxy.
Two tramps who have been quite no
ticeable in this vicinity for some time
past made bold attempt to rob the resi-.
dence of Nelson Campbell, who resides
about four miles southeast of town, near
the Shuh place. One of the vagrants,
giving the name OF Tom Brannan, broke
into the house and went through every
thing in search of money or almost any
thing Of value, while his pal, John Welsh,
stood guard outside. When Campbell
approached the house Welsh commenced
firing shots, evidently to frighten Camp
bell away so they might proceed with
their vigorous search. A messenger soon
brought the news to town and the officers
fastened to the excited neighborhood
and succeeded in capturing the thieves a
short distance from where they had done
the mischief. When captured Welsh
had on a suit of Campbell's clothes, and
many other articles of value were found
on his person. They were brought to
town and taken before Justice Shul],
plead guilty, and we're sent to Deer
Lodge to await trial on the charge of
burglary.

Dog Thieves.

Dogs have been trained to do MANY
useful and many amusing things, but
the most degrading instruction ever
given to noble animal of its species
came to light early in tho week. A
great Newfoundland dog entered a
noted store near the Bastile, wandered
about for some time among the Gus
toners and finally seized a bundle con
tanning some shooting jackets with
which he made off as fast as ho could.
Some Of the clerks saw him and about
q hundred of them ran out after him.
The cry was taken up in the street and
the dog thief" was soon being pur-
sued by half a dozen police and hum
dreds Of boys besides the clerks. The
animal was finally run down and
marched off to the police station, and
eventually to the pound, where he has
probably been smothered before this.
Several shopmeu complained chat they
had been visited by the dog and had
suffered from his depredations, so that
there is no doubt that he had been
taug ght to steal by some Fagin Of the
neighborhood, which is not particu-
larly respectable one.-Paris Cor. New

Facts About Immigration.

One-tifth of the immigration to this
port from Europe last year was from
two countries which have only re-
Gently begun to contribute to our pop
ulation-1taly and Russia. The re-
port from Castle Garden shows that
out Of 3s3, ,o3O immigrants for the year
43, 1888 were Italians and 80, 937 were
Russians. The immigration from these
two countries was as high as that from
Germany, and the immigration from
Italy alone was just about equal TO-
that from Ireland. We are informed
that very nearly the whole body of
immigrants classified as Russians"
belonged to the Hebrew race, and that
they find life here so much moro de-
sirable than they found it under the
car of Russia that they are encour-
aging their brethren whom they left
behind them to follow their example
in coming TO America.-New York

BUCKEYE.

This mine is in every respect giving Ell
tire satisfaction. The development work
is progressing with all the rapidity that
two shifts of men can attain. They have
now reached the depth of 165 feet in the
shaft, and are sinking on the vein. Some
pockets OF ore have been encountered,
which slightly resemble those of the
Granite or Bi-Metallic, and it is the
opinion of the superintendent that they
have either got the Granite ledge or
nothing at all. A good deal of the stock
is being sold at present and it is likely if
the mine continues to improve, to con-
siderably advance in value before the
close of the present month.

is where all previous work has been done,
but they were obliged to discontinue on
account Of water coming in 90 rapidly
that it drove them out. A shipment
from this body of ore made last fall
netted them 146 ounces Of silver to the

ANACONDA, March 14.-[Special to The
MAIL. AT $50 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered in the ore house at the
lower works of the Anaconda smelter
which soon spread rapidly and in less
than ten minutes the immense structure
Of 640x320 was in a mass of flames. and
In less than two hours the building was
destroyed and not a stick of timber of
that immense building was left standing,
The firemen from the upper anJ lower
works were promptly on hand and did
all that was possible to prevent the
spread of the flames and we're successful
in confning it to that building. The
original concentrator and stamp mill at
the lower works were saved, as is also the
blast furnace and sample mill. The
origination Of the fire is shrouded IN
mystery. There was no fire kept in the
ore house at any time and there are
many things which point towards it's be-
ing incendiary in its character. Just
what the loss will be it is impossible at
this time to say, as the principal cost
was in the ponderous machinery and to
what extent that is damaged it Is i'm
possible to state until it has cooled suf
ficlently to allow thorough examina
tion.
This fire necessarily suspends opera
tions at the lower works. Just what the
company intend doing in regard to re-
building we are not prepared to say.
About 1900 men Will be thrown out of
on account of the fire. It
is impossible to state what the loss will
be, but it is in the neighborhood of half
a million dollars
