Artistic Indifference.

Unjust mention Il melancholy fact
which shows how factious is the taste
OF the public FOR art, says a Paris cor
respondent. People goin shoals 10 an
art exhibition when it is a fashion
able one. it is tic proper thing then.
It seems tha. the exhibition of larye's
works is not fashionable. for no one
goes 10 il: the entrance fees scarcely
amount to more than Il guinea day.
Although the hall has been lent by the
Dcaux Ar: school, the expenses willno
be covered and yet some OF the bronzcs
exposed are perfect masterpieces,
worthy OF GTecian art. Barge is the
first sculptor who ever nlodcled ami
mails they really are.
Before his time people were satisfied
with the wi@ged lions, such as those
that decorate Trafalgar square; tri-
umphs of coilveitionality, negations
OF truth. He took the trouble to go to
Jartiin tes l'luntcs and study the liv-
ing model; and although the king Of
the desert does not come out to his
full advantage in q cage, still Barge
modelled marvellous things. He loved
all wild anlnlus-evcn elephants,
buffaloes and rhinoceroscs, dogs,
stays. roes goats, or even rabbits, SER
penis, izar,ls--in fact, all animals.
But it is the custom to consider as sec
ondarv the art OF an animal painter or
animal sculptor, and poor Barge died
in distress beside his masterpieces. Its,
however, some consolation for his
ghost to know that Americans are
covering his bronzes with gold; al
though it is shameful that in this our
land such indifference is shown to his
memory. 1t is said that AiReris:as, wiz III

A Quaint Episode of the French Govern

A Quaint Episode of the French Govern
ment's Friendship for America.
Youths Companion.
In the days of President Van Buren, the
French government took extraordinary
pains to be popular in Washington. This
was no hard task. for the romantic memory
of Lafayette had in no wise died away
among our representative citizens. This
was the time when duties on foreign goods
were heavily imposed to raise revenue to
support the government. % It. The wary French mel
upon French silks and wines.
1t was probably more than a coincidence
that at this crisis the Prince de JOinville,
the son Of the King, made a visit to this
country, and naturally naturally he went to Wash
as since, cOurteOusly to receive dstin-
Ruished guests. invited the French Prince
to dinner.
For some insufficient reason the invita-
tiOn was respectfully declined. Very soon
the Prince returned to France In the
formed of De Joinville's refusal to dine at
the White House, made great stir. Here
was an affrOnt to rising power which
might well be construed into an interna-
tional insult. The French sprig of royalty
was ordered Immediately back to accept an
invitation and dine with the President of
the United States. .
In the meanwhile General Harrison had
died in Office, and Mr.. Tyler was the Presi-
dent. The French ambassador met his
prince in New Yok and escorted him to the
capital. The invitation came and was
etfusively accepted. The inexOrabe laws
of courtesy were thus appeased. and the
gallant Frenchman, with the fair Miss
Tyler on his arm. was ushered into the
state dining-room Immediately afterward
he returned to his frigate. which had been
expressly detailed to bring him over to
take q meal.

Some Common SIisquotatiOns.

New York Tribune
A favorite line with Americans is "West-
There is little error here. The line is
from Bishop Berkeley's Verses on the
Prospect of Planting Arts and Learning in
America" and the whole stanZa is:
Westward the course of empire takes its way;
The four first acts already past,
A'ffth shall close the drama with the day;
Times nOblest offspring is the last.
But perhaps the Bishop deserves to be
misquOted for using such gra nmar as "The
four first acts" 1t may grieve many to
in the hearts of his countrymen" is a mis-
quotation. The correct words First in
war. first in peace, and first In the hearts of
his fellow citizens" are from a set of resO-
lutiOns on the death of Washington, pre-
pared by General Lee and adopted by Con-
gress.
One of the commonest errors is the at
tributing of quotation to the wrong au

THE DESERT OF SAHARA.
Why 1t Is by No Means SO Black as 1t Is
Painted.

Cornhill Magazine.
The Sahara as a whole is not below sea
level; it is not the dry bed of a recent
ocean, and it is not as fiat as the proverbial l
pancake all over. Part of it. indeed, is
less varied in level. The upper Sahara
consists of a rocky plateau, rising at
times into considerable peaks, the
q steep slope. is "a vast depres-
sion of clay and sand" but still for the
most part standing high above sea level.
No portion of the upper Sahara is less than
1.3OO feet high-a good deal higher than
Dartmoor or Derbyshire. Most of the low
er reaches from 200 to 600 feet-quite as ele-
waited as Essex or Leicester. The two spots
below sea level consist of the beds of
ancient lakes, now much shrunk by evapOr-
alton, owing to the present rainless cOndi-
tiOn of the country; the soil around these is
deep in gypsum, and the water itself is con-
siderably saltier than the sea.
That, however, is always the case with
fresh-water lakes in their last dotage. as
American geOlOgists have amply proved in
the Great Salt Lake of Utah. Moving
sand undoubtedly covers large space in
both divisions of the desert, but according
to Sir Lambert Playfair our best modern
authority on the subject, it occupies not
more than One-third part of the entire AL
gerian Sahara. Elsewhere rock, clay and
muddy lake are the prevailing features, in
terspersed with not infrequent date groves
and villages, the product of artesian wells
or excavated spaces or river oases. Even
Sahara, in short. to give it its due, is not by
any means so black as it's painted.

Curious Things I'm American Society That He
Didn't Understand.

National Republican.
Now that the Persian minister is about to
take his departure for his country, OF at least
for London where he will Join the Shah.
who is visiting the Queen, number of
amusing stories are related concerning him.
stories which do not in the least reflect
upon his cleverness or his ability to serve
his sovereign most creditably here, eut
which plainly evidence that he is nos
altogether cOnversant with some OF the
pleasantries incident to Washington life.
1t may not be amiss If / tell two which L
heard yesterday. The minister found when
he came to Washington that he had at
least two acquaintances, If not friends;
They were lady and gentleman who had
for some years lived in Persia where the
gentleman was connected with large lnl-
porting house. Calls were at once ex-
changed, and finally an invitation was ex-
tended to his excellency to dinner. The
invitation was graciOusly accepted. IN
fortunately the former American residents
in Persia had one drawback to their mari
tai happiness, they have no children. 1t
seems that in Persia il IS the custom to as
semble around the table all Of the children
of the family when very special dinner Is
given. When, therefore, the minister no
ticed that there was an entire absence OF the
little ones, he inquired through his secre.
tary, who speaks English we'll, the cause of
it. The lady of the house replied that
she did not have any children, but
laughingly added that if she had been
them as she did that dear creature"
whose. portrait hung just over the
mantel-piece. The dear creature referred to
was the likeness of pug dog" a pet III
the household. who died a short time be-
fore, and whose memory was perpetuated
in oil. When this was translated to the
minister an expression of horror came over
his countenance. He evidently did not en-
joy his meal, and he brought his visit to an
abrupt conclusion. He never could be in
duced to enter the house again, protesting
that loved dogs more than she did chill
dren."
Upon another occasion the minister
called at the house of an official who had
been away from home for q little while.
As he was through his interpreter, con-
versng with the lady of the house the hus-
band entered, and, after shaking hands
with the minister and his secretary, turned
to his wife and naturally kissed her. The
minister arose Immediately, and, bowling
profoundly to the lady and gentleman,
nounced. through his secretary, that he
would hold ever ipviolate the confidence
which lad been thus placed in him and
nothing should induce him to reveal to any
one the scene which he had just witnessed.
In ex xplanation, it appears that no Persian
ever kisses his wife or wives in public, or
is in any manner demonstrative before
strangers. The minister properly imagined
that, as the gentleman kissed his wife be-
fore him, he desired to pay him some special
honor, for which he was grateful and must

hearing so many strange expressions. that
the minister felt that Washington was no
place for him.
