CURRENT COMMENT.

Near Louisville they had gathered at
a marriage feast. Happy hearts and
smiling faces circled about the festal
I boards To join in joyous concert in Civ
ing forth the wishes of their hearts tor
! long and happy years to two who were
so happy then. 1t was time to fill the
| hearts of men, and women too, but
| that their hearts are always full, of
every care, and every sordi, thought,
| and everything that in our daily lives
have in themselves no change. L g

good will. Two happy hearts that just
| awhile before had sealed. thelr loves
with tender vows were now the cent; +
| of this scene of gayety and life. They
were the bright and tender objects of I,
| thouS and prayers that asked that you
and pleasure might be theirs forever,
There could nothing here be found
of all that pains us in the haunts of men.
The time rolled on and they must bid
! adieu. With hearts that overlooked
with gladness they said good by, and as
! they did, invoked the blessings OF "a
| peaceful life. The host of friends thai
rom an hundred homes had COM, re-

that the smile that lit the face that

New York City is thoroughly aroused
by visit from Jack the Ripper. His
work was characteristic-bloOu noise
butchery is in little dirty, squalid
room on the fourth and topmost floor OF
a wretched tenement house. His sub
iect a wretched bag of go yearS.-The
time, the hour when He'll itself breaths
forth contagiOn on the world. His vic
tim strangled, disembow eled, soaked in
hood, was n sight he day did quake to
look on. Jack the Ripper is one of the
most prominent characters before the
wOrld-or rather that is not before the
world. From the day that Murder was
elevated to a position among the Fine
Arts, Jack Il 9 Ripper stands easily the
first of ar;i It's. While the strictest con-
no ur m hit find some technic Al OBJ
jection' to thing or two, still by the
great mass ofthcse who love and ad-
mire this Art, it is rece we'd as a great
and powerful work. Ick exhibited a
good many of his finest productions in
London Mt White, b tpcl, and some
few on the continent without receiving
the attention due to his great talents.
