AN Artist's Peculiar Predicament.

Charles e. Proctor is an artist who works at
his profession for love, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch not because he has particular need for
money. His father is vice president and his
grandfather president of the Singer Sewing
Machine Company Mr.. Proctor, the artist, is
therefore, of rich but honest parents. He is
also very clever with pencil and brush. A short
time ago he painted portrait Of the late la
inented Fessenden that has attracted consider
able attention. The familiar background of
the picture, the face of $40 bill, was also re
produced with true artistic skill. The whole
was placed in q jeweler's window on Broadway,
and was very much admired. A couple of these
admirers shortly afterward called on the youth
full artist and inquired if the picture was really
and truly his work, you know.
I'm the man. said Mr.. Proctor, seeming an
important order.
Then, sir, will you kindly come along with
usir said one of the gentlemen.
Yes, you'll have to come along with US, ~
said the other gentleman a little more peremp-
torily.
"Whereg What? don't exactly under
stand" stammered the artist
I'VE are United States detectives" replied
the first speaker, very blandly, land fear your
picture is a violation of the law. 1t is ques-
ton for the Secretary of the Treasury to de-
eide"
And they marched the talented artist to that
dlngy old building down town that flies non
descript flag, the stripes of which run up and
down instead of the good old way. The picture
was sent to Washington, where another consul
tatfon was held, In which the artists talents
formed the principal subject of dis custom It
held. in which the artist was an interested
listener. Finally, both picture and artist were
released, the former properly stamped ''coun-
terfelt." the latter excessively 1attered by this
official tribute to his genius. He will hereafter
carefully direct that genius in different direc-
ton when he wants to make money.

Improving Immigration.

Among the many societies for various
lofty and indefinite purposes that Boston
claims is the Society for the Promotion of
Good Citizenship. How the organization
expects to promote good citizenship does not
appear to be generally known. Like many
other similarly exemplary associations in
Massachusetts, the. most conspicuous func-
ton which brings 1t prominently before the
public is an annual meeting for the purpose
of eating good dinner and listening to the
personal impressions of the various mem
bers.
At the latest meeting of this society one
Of the members read long dissertation on
the immigration question. in which he in
dulged in many epigrammatic truisms and
commended to his fellow members some ex-
ceedingly desirable reforms in our national
immigration laws. But in all his year of
thinking the question over he seems to have
altogether failed to discover just how his
recommendations are to be carried out. Yet
that must generally be admitted to consti-
tute the most important part of any sort of
reform. Recommending desirable improve
ments is quite an easy matter. Anybody
can do that, fro.n chronic visionary to a
schoolboy. But it takes the wise man to
tell Us how all these desirable results are to
be attained.
About the only noteworthy remark Of
this professional promoter of good citizen
ship was the suggestion that the objection
able class of immigrants should-to use a
Milesian expression-be stopped before they
started. Then he proceeded to tell us that
"tne place to dam river is not at its
mouth, aud several other such things that
we have all heard more or loss often be.
fore.
While the inspection of emigrants before
starting from their own country would un-
doubleday be desirable it does not at first
thought appear altogether likely that the
several old world countries would be will
ing to allow the United States to set up
within their boundaries bureau for the
purpose of scrutinizing the personal and
physical qualifications of their inhabitants
| for emigration to this country. They
would be more likely to resent any such
attempt to pick over the best of their popu-
lation fer the purpose of augmenting the
number of our inhabitants.

Judge Poland's Authority

Judge Poland was one of the most remarkable
figures in congress. says the Detroit Free Press.
His blue swallow taitcoat, brass buttons. snow
white hair and chop whiskers made him appear
remerkarkably English, and he always admired
himself. Before entering congress he had been
chief justice of his native state, and at once re-
sumed his practice before the courts after en-
tering political life.
One day he was arguing before the full bench
a quite important case, and had referred to sew
eral decisions when, picking up volume. he
said
May it please your honors, will now call
your attention to a case decided in the -
volume of our state reports. The decision is
somewhat old, but at that time there were some
able men upon the bench" And he read de-
cision rendered by himself twenty years pre-
vious, which sustained the position he was con-
tending for.
The judges. of course, all smiled, but Poland
was as dignified as it was possible for mortal to
