ADgelus." finished the marvellous work
at Barbizon, France, in 1859, and being

Here Is a brief description of the picture:
1t represents a young man and maiden
pausinR from their work In the fields to
listen to the tolling of "Angelus," them
selves joining in evening prayer. The
sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm
golden light which gives a peculiar glow
ing color to the surrounding fields. The
young couple have been busy harvesting
the potato crop. They stand quietly in
the foreground, their figures clearly cut
against the vivid background. Their at
titudes express the deEcpt religious senti-
ments of rustic piety. both send in ST
lence a feeling prayer to their Maker,
while the bells are ringing the "Angelus'
1.-THE evening prayer in the belfry of the
quaint little village church, which is seen
far away on the horizon, clearly defined
against the golden sky.
Fourteen Oil Colors of the Original
To make this perfect reproduction the
celebrated steel engraving OF the Angelus
by the great engraver. Charles Waltner,
was taken for a basis, the e%oloring being
mastered by careful study both in Paris
and New York. Labor, ingenuity and
money have been unsparingly used and
the result is eminently satisfactory; in
deed, SO accurate is the copy made in all
the shades and colors of the painting that

THE death OF Sir John A. Macdonald
comes almost like a climax to the recent
great conservative victory won under his
leadership. He was born in Canada in
1878, was admitted to the bar IN 1895
and has been continuously In pubic lie
since 1874. He has played a very
conspicuous part in Canadian politics
and was largely instrumental in bringing
about the federation of British North
America.

THE CALF CASE.
A Western Lawsuit that Goes Merrily On.

From the st. Louis Republic.
DEs MONIES, January 2S.-The Iowa
Supreme Court has finally affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the cele-
brated case of johnson against Miller
ct al, better known as 1.-THE Jones
County calf case" The verdict of the
lower court was for the plaintiff in the
sum of 1000.
The last jury returned a verdict
and also answered a number Of special
interrogatories, and the case went to
the Supreme Court on the ground that
the answers and the special interogato-
ries did not warrant the verdict. The
case has been in the courts about
twenty years and has been tried sew
eral times in the lower courts and has
taken several trips to the Supreme
Court. 1t has bankrupted everybody
connected with it except the attorneys.
The calves over which this litigation
grew were originally worth $45, and up
to this time the costs Of the case have
grown to between $4,000 and 10000,
in addition to the verdict Of $1,000.

THE PERFECT POLITICAL CaIEFTAIN.
The 1Tatcl1less Services of Arthur P. Cor
man for Triumphant Dem ocracy.
From the Atlanta Constitution. !

From the Atlanta Constitution
4 former resident Of Baltimore, who
is now an Atlanta citizen, gave me
interesting points about German yes
terday.
II will make a prediction" said the
speaker, "to this effect: That inside of
three years the foremost man of this
country will be Arthur P. German Of
Maryland. He was formally declared
the leader of the Democratic side of
the Senate, and they gave way to bis
magnificent executive ability as if by
tacit and common consent. They obey
his orders without question. Why,
the manner in which he has piloted
the party to a grand victory, and has
saved the whole country from great
disaster in this last fight on the infa-
nous Force bill, demonstrates that the
party has at last got a man before
whom Dudley and Quay and ingalls,
are as children to a giant. And the
best of it is that his methods are always
pure and clean. Another man would
have allowed hot-blooded partisan
speeches to be made, and thus forced
the Republicans to be unit, and have
given them a good reason for passing
the measure and have awakened pub
lie sentiment at the North in their
favor. German strictly forbade sim
gle reply on that line to all of the
taunts of Hoar and Aldrich ct al. The
consequence was that the Republicans
were divided and German scored the
greatest victory of his life.
~ do not know" he continued,
"that he will ever be President, but
this I do know, that there will never
be another Republican President while
German is at the head of the Demo
cratic party. He stands to-day in
learning, in eloquence, in statesman
ship, and in marvellous genius without
peer, and is to-day the greatest states
man living, in my humble opinion.
His fame has only just begun to spread
outside of Maryland, but long years ago
in Baltimore we always knew we were
safe when Arthur P. German took the
helm and guided the party's ship
through the troublous waters of battle
safe into the peaceful haven of victory.
It can be said of him that he never for
got friend, never failed to punish a |
foe, never forgave a blunder, never
made mistake, and always won what
ever he undertook to win. Calm, stern,
kindly, implacable at times and gene
rous IN word and act where generosity
was deserved, he is at once the biggest
Drained, broadest-minded, and best
equipped man in public life. And yet
he has barely turned his fftieth year.
My advice to You if you wish to win
money is to always bet on the party
that is guided by Arthur P. German of
Maryland, for he is second Napoleon,
and the coming man in America"

SKIN GRATING IN NEW YORK.
Replacing the Scalp Torn From Mrs. Her
man Wilck's Head q Month Ago.
New York SUM-

The most extensive skin grating
operation that ever took place in Belle
vue Hospital is now being performed
there upon Mrs. Herman Wick, whose
husband has laundry at Twenty-third
street and First avenue.
Mrs. Wilck's hair became entangled
in one of the swiftly rolling pieces OF
machinery on December 26, and her
scalp was taken off. The left ear and
right eyebrow went with the scalp, and
the wound extended far down into the
neck.
Mrs. Wick has been a patient IN
Bellevue ever since the accident, and
last Wednesday the first attempt to
graft skin upon her head was made. II
the process is successful, and DR.. Zerega
thinks it will be, Mrs. Wilcks will soon
be able to leave the hospital.
Of course, her head will be as bald
as an ivory billiard ball, but that will
be far better than having no scalp at
all. Since Mrs. Wick has been IN the
hospital her health and appetite have
been remarkably good.
The strips of skin with which Mrs.
Wilck's head is being covered are sup
piled from the thighs of Della Ryan,
one Of the girls employed in Herman
Wilck's laundry. The strips are very
thin, from one to eight inches IN
length, and are put on in small pieces.
Then they are held down securely by
rubber tissue and bandages.
The skin is cut off by sharp, VIDE
razor, and while undergoing the opera
ton anesthetics are given to the
patient. 1t may be several weeks oe-
fore the second and final graft is MADE.

An Essay on Man.

From the Wichita County Democrat
Man that is born Of woman is small
pot 'oes and few in a hill. He rises
up to-day and fourishes like rag
weed, and tomorrow, or the next day,
the undertaken hath him. He goeth
forth in the morning warbling like a
lark, and is knockd out in one round
and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt,
and the tax collector pursues him
wherever he goeth. The banister of
life is full of splinters, and he slideth
down with considerable sapidity. BE
walketh forth in the bright sunlight to
absorb ozone and meeteth the wheel
barrow in his path. 1t riseth up and
smiteth him to the earth, and falleth
upon him, and runneth one off its legs
into his ear.
In the gentle spring time he putteth
on his summer clothes, and blizzard
striketh him far from home and tilleth
him with cuss words and rheumatism.
In the winter he putteth on winter and
a wasp that abideth excitement. He
starteth down into the cellar with an
oleander and goeth backward, and the
oleander cometh after and sitteth upon
him.
He buyeth a watch dog and when
he cometh home from the lodge watch
dog treeth him, and sitteth near him
unil rosy moru. He goeth to the horse
trot and betteth his money on the
brown mare, and the pay gelding with
blaze face wInneth.
He narrieth 2 red-headed heiress
with a wart on her nose, and the next
day the parent ancestors goeth under
with a fee, arrest, and great liabilities
and cometh home to live with his be-
loved son-in-law.
