that every Virginia negro employed in the
federal departments here has been or will

Gen. Malone during the present campaign

about this is that most of the negroes refer.

is false. He continues, also, to repeat his mis-

sion that Mckinney was in favor o. wholly
abolishing the tariff instead of merely reduc-
ing the war tariff to adapt it to TINS of peace,
and of thus relieving the people from un11eces-
sary, and hence unjust, taxation. He charged
that Mckinney endorsed Ruffner and the

Sculpture.

Sculpture must first be common
place, fashionable necessity in 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 against plaster-casts, used
in lieu of costlier materials. AS to
what is now called sculpture-backed
as it is by no large mass of trained,
cultivated fosterers-the silent ma
ton 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 a
derison. 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 indestructible than the fash
ionable decorations of our honest 1t
is only by beginning at the tireside
that we can cultivate the public taste
ty the love of Athens and Florence,
and have the knowlege to bid our
sculptors grapple with those grandest
forms of art that for the backgrounds
demand sea, landscape, or a
steepled town.-Hehry Ecktord, IN The

Written or Printed Invitations.

Some persons imagine that because
invitations are written or engraved on

this way. Many persons do not an
swer sat home" invitations, on the
ground that they are worded in such a
manner as to make response unneces-
sary. An answer should be written
on note paper if at all, and written out
in full, as thus:

Invitations to afternoon teas and re-
ceptions, do not require any answer.
Guests leave their cards, as they enter
the house, OF send (their cards) if they
are unable to be presented on the oc-
casion.
In answering any invitation, great
care should be taken to do so in a
polite and painstaking manner, and
one corresponding in form with the
original note OF card Thus written
invitation must never receive verbal
answer, and a note written in the
third person, must not be answered in

The poisonous cigarette has been in
weighed against considerably, but its
real character has not been shown up so
effectively in some time as in recent
article printed in the Times Democrat of
New Orleans. Our contemporary says
that according to Professor Latin, a
noted scientist, there are five poisons
i'll cigarette-the oil in the paper
the oil of nicotine, saltpetre to pre-
serve the tobacco, opium to make ii
mild and the oil in flayoring. A good
cigar has but one poison-the nicotine
that is part and parcel Of the tobacco.
The cigarette is thus four poisons ahead
in the race for death among tobacco
users. 1t is fact known to every small
boy that a mouthful of smoke blown
though handkerchief will leave a brown
stain, but blown though the nostrils no
stain will appear-it is left in the head and
throat This stain from the cigarette is
a deadly combination of the five power
full poisons just named, and when such a
deadly agency is inhaled and left upon
the lung it is only a question of time
when that necessary member will cease
to do active duty. Cigarette smoking is
doing more to sap the foundation of
physical well-being in this country than
any single agency. 1t gets in deadly
work at such a tender age that its in
furious effects are often attributed to
other causes. The sunken, hollow eyes,
the stunted growth, the tremor of the
muscles, all tell the story Of havoc that
is being wrought in our boys by the use
of the cigarette. In short, it is a whole
sale system of poisoning. So good an
authority as DR.. Holmes says that the
habit of smoking cigarettes especially
enfeebles the will power. 1t thus
wrecks not the physical side of our
natures only, but the moral side as well.
With a recognition of the force of such
truths from so high source, it is not to
be wondered at that many of our state
legislative bodies have provided both
fine and Imprisonment for those who sell
cigarettes to young boys. The sale Of
cigarettes to boys ought to be placed
under ban as severe as possible.

Industries in Ancient Ireland.

Poets and rhetoricians have in their
usual free and easy way exaggerated
the material prosperity of ancient Ire
land. Much of the splendor attributed
to Kettle kings and bishops and bards
fades under the cold light of historical
research. But this very research has
put beyond all doubt that beneath the
exaggerations of rhetoric and song
there lay a solid substratum of truth.
Thus the publication by Parliament
airy commission of the immense and
previously almost unexplored mass of
legal institutes known as the "Brehon
Laws" has verified the fact that at
time when Britons were almost naked
savages the Irish Kelts were clad in
woollens and linens of their own manu-
facture. The Brehon Laws abound
with references not only to woollen
and linen goods, but to carding, weav-
ing, dyeing and the other processes of
their manufacture. Again, in the re-
markable metrical account of the
rights of the monarchs of Ireland and
of the provincial kings, attributed to
contemporary of st. Patrick, and
known as the Book of Rights, we find
that tribute was paid to large extent
in cloaks, tunics, mantles, and other
articles of woollen and linen manufac-
ture, some white, some brown, some
trimmed with purple, some with fur,
and some with gold.
We can see for ourselves something
of what was done in the more durable
materials. Textile fabrics, except of
the coarsest kind, perish in far less
time than twelve hundred years. But
metal-work, if good in material and
design, survives. Accordingly we have
/ abundant specimens of such work come
down to us from the Kettle period.
Many of these are rough, but many
are rich in material, good in design,
and eXquisitely skillful in workman
ship. Some were found deep below
the surface of our bogs, where proba-
bly, they were dropped in flight, and
| got gradually covered with peat in the
4 slow lapse of centuries. Others were
/ found in stone chambers made for
their reception and forgotten for more
than a thousand years. Vast quanti-
ties of the gold-work were consigned
to the crucible Some goldsmiths esti-
mate that they purchased and melted
down as much as 100000 worth OF
ancient Kettle gold-work found from
time to time in Ireland. But FORUM
ately much has been preserved. There
is quite a magnificent collection of
works in gold, silver, and bronze in
the museum of the Royal Irish Acad-
emy in Dublin. Besides these there
are many fine specimens in Trinity
College, Dublin, and in the British
Museum, London. Commissioner No
