A MUCH esteemed correspondent, "Lex,"
has something to say in another column
deservedly kind and complimentary Of the
Hon. j. NJ. Dickinson, who sat in Chief
Justice Turney's place on the Supreme
Bench during the recent absence OF that
distinguished gentleman, growing out Of
temporary indisposition. As the Supreme
Court is now constituted, II is one Of the
most useful Of the courts OF the country.
1t takes up and disposes OF cases without
any needless circumlocution and contents
itself with, In most cases, the delivery OF
oral rather than written opinions. The
bar Of the State, especially that OF thiscity,
is very well satisfied both with the opinions
and the prompt disposal OF cases. To DO
called, therefore, TO Ill a place in this
court, on special service, is a very high
compliment aud TO sustain oneself In II
30 rs 10 lose nothing by contrast with the
regular members OF the court is TO give
assurance Of the highest capacity and an
unusual readiness even In well read and
practced lawyer. The APPEAL feels sure
that LEX" has fairly gagged the deserv-
ings Of Judge Dickinson, and what he
says will, no doubt, be Endorsed by the
Memphis bar, for which no man has better
authority or more capacity to speak.

II he has anything to say to the jurors, 10
order them into the court and make such
additional charges as he may think proper.
In this view Of the case Judge DuBose is
in error in the position he has taken and
the Attorney e. neral is right We say
this on general principles and without
reference to the merits OF the Saltmarsh
case, which is made one OF confession by
the long and continued absence OF the
accused. The only question before the
Grand Jury, as we understand, being the
amount Of the defalcation and whether
others arc concerned in Il or not.

THE MACHINES.

The Cosmopolitan for May has for its lead
ing feature Elizabeth Bisland's charming
sketch, ''The Studios Of New York" which
gives rare and pleasant glimpses OF the
workshops and the artists In them The
writer notes the fact that 'art in New York
is not fashionable" and she believes that
society would be the better and more bril-
liant in honoring the great American artists
as they are sought and honored in England"
No doubt Of that, but would the gain be
mutual one? Miss Brisland Is disposed to
ascribe the slow progress Of art in this
country to the indifference of artists ITO the
fashionable world" That Is a question;
there Is n wide gulf between art and conven-
tionality and few artists can hone TO success
fully love the one and fiirt with the other.
No, there must be better way yet to facili-
tate the growth Of art In America. Miss
Bisland shows uncommon discrimination
and intelligence In her comments on the
personalities, idiosyncrasies and habits Of
the artists mentioned, Of whom she says
"nearly two-thirds of the most successful
are from the West" The article is pro-
fusely and superbly illustrated, having for
frcntispiece and supplement an etching OF
Thomas Moran's painting, 1.-THE Mountain
Of the Holy Cross" The most curious
narrative, perhaps, in this number is
entitled 1.-THE Peni,ent Brothers," by
c. +. Lummis giving brief history OF a
singular religious order among the Pueblo
Indians in New Mexico, which has existed
there for over century, "whose creed was
founded upon. the whip and the cross az
instruments Of p6nancc." The writer gives
a vivid account OF a iagellant procession
and crucifxion that he witnessed and was
allowed to photograph, during Holy week OF
last year, which for woirdnoss, ghastliness
and the horrible surpasses anything ever
before recorded. IL is almost inconceiyablc
that such ferocious superstition should
exist 80 near the border Of civilization. Tho
illustrations are all extremely interesting.
In 1.-THE Great Agitation" Frank sanborn
discusses Benjamin Lundy, the first Aboli-
ton journalist. This Is the second paper on
the subject The third will follow In the
June number by Oliver johnson. 'ThC
Paris Conseryatoire," by Madame NJ. Van
de velde, is an admirable historic sketch oil
that famous institution, 10 which such
names as those OF Ambrose Thomas, direc'
tor; Mnssenet, Dclibes, Got Delaunay and
Worms, masters of music and defamation,
have contributed so much TO its luster
Portraits OF several Of the masters mentioned
besides two clever drawings, illustrate the
article.
