TO H

The statement published by some of
the daily papers that the Alliance Off
cial guanO was seized at Mebane because
the Durham Fertilizer Company. who
are the manufacturers, were trying to
evade the tax, is incorrect. This Com
pany did ship several hundred bags up
there for the Alliance, and as they did
not have tags enough to put on all of
the bags when shipped, they sent at
once to the Agricultural Department
and got the tags and sent to the rail
road agent at Mebane to put on the
bags. The Agricultural Department
did not seize the goods, but instructed
the railroad agent to hold eighty-fve
bags until he heard from them. This
was done on the Both of May, and the
balance of the tags were in the hands of
the railroad agent. Mr.. Morgan Presi-
dent of the Durham Fertilizer Com
pany, and myself, went to see the Com
missioner of Agriculture on June I'd,
as soOn as we knew of the matter. Mr..
Morgan explained to the Commissioner,
who at once said the matter was en-
tirely satisfactory, and ordered the
railroad agent at nee to deliver the
goods as per telegram here copied:
RAILROAD Agent, Me60ne, N. c.:
Proceed with the delivery of the
Durham fertilizer detained by inspec-
tor. The matter has been explained.
JOHN ROBINSON, Commissioner"
We caution the Alliance to believe
no statement, either verbal or news
paper, detrimental to this brand Of fer
tilixer until they have communicated
with me and found that said statements
are correct. The Durham Fertilizer
Company pay about one-seventhl of all
the fertilizer tax paid in the State.
They can't afford to do anything
crooked. The books show that they
have paid the largest tax, and have
done it willingly and cheerfully. Tax
on IS bags is g. 124. The railroad
agent had these tags the day the goods
were detained.

Q. Then, it seems that dollar means

A. 1t does-and, in fact, Websters

are one dollar bills, or one dollar notes.

ART.
RAPHAEL AND MICHAEL ANGELO.

RAPHAEL n MICHAEL ANGELO.
In the latter part Of the fifteenth and
the beginning of the sixteenth century
the fine arts reached a height of per-
lection never attained before or since.
Raphael and Michael Angelo stand on
the pinnacle of the temple, with none
above or beside them. The works Of
Michael Angelo represent the stern
severity of the Old Testament and the
God of majesty and power; the works
of Raphael reflect the grace and sweet
ness of the New Testament and the
God of love. Michael Angelo Q475-
1864 was ten years older than Raphael
Q483-1520, and Outlived him forty
four years. Raphael has been called
the Shakespeare among painters for
the variety of characters in which his
own is lost. His "Disputa" and
"School of Athens" are a history Of
theology and philosophy as embodied
in their leading representatives, and
each head is a distinct study. He re-
sembles also Mozart in the precocity of
his genius, the shortness of his life, and
the number sweetness, harmony, and
perennial charm of his productions.
His brief life of thirty-seven years was
a continued study of preparation and
execution, and gave to the world over
twelve hundred pictures and drawings,
which are scattered all over the globe.
Among these there is not one indiffer-
ent piece, while many are such master
pieces as will probably never be sur
passed in this world. His Madonna
di San Sisto" in Dresden, and his
TRANSPORTATION of Christ" in the
Vatican, r the greatest productions
in the history of painting. You may
gaze and gaze at them again and again
with an increasing sensation of wonder
and delight. The TRANSPORTATION "
was Raphael's last and browning work.
He died, while engaged on it, on Good
Friday, his birthday; and the IN
finished picture, suspended over his
coffin, was carried to the Church of
the Pantheon, where his remains repose
in his chosen spot near those of his be-
trothed bride, Maria di Bibbiena. In
that picture we behold the divinest
figure that ever appeared on earth
soaring high in the air, with arms out
spread, in garments of transparent
light, adored by Moses the lawgiver
on the right, and Elijah the prophet on
the eft. The three ~favorite disciples
are lying on the ground, unable to face

justice it bore upon its face. AS free
men and not as political slaves they
rest their cause upon these principles.
If we must meet defeat let us go down
with colors flying, conscious of the
fact that we did battle in a noble cause.
Surrender these principles? No true
Alliance man will do it. Then, brint'
in recruits-discipline the forces-for
the great contest of 1892 is dawning
upon us.

A SILVER COIN OF ONE HUNDRED CENTS.
Q. What is a dollar2
A. A dollar is a silver coin.
@. Does not the word mean a gold
coin, also?
A. No: There is, or was a small gold
coin called a gold dollar; but the word
dollar means a silver coin. It was
first made in Germany, and called
thaler pronounced tollar). A similar
piece was afterwards made in Spain,
and it is from this Spanish piece we
get our dollar mark-S-which repre-
sents the gpillars of Hercules twined
with the figure s. The Mexicans had,
and still have a similar piece. All
these were and are silver coins, and
our United States dollar is an imitation
of them.
@. Are there not gold dollars in ex-
istence?
A. Very few. They were not coined
till 1849, and they were never popular,
being small and thin, easily lost, and
when lost, hard to find. In fact, they
were so i'll suited to the people and to
business men, that in 1889, the Director
of the Mint, Edward o. Leech, recon-
mended that the coinage of them be
discontinued; and the following year,
1890, Congress passed an act prohibit
ing the coming of them, and directing
that that those already in existence be
withdrawn from circulation.
Q. Did they have any circulation
among the peoples
A. Very little. Butfew persons ever
say one, and the director of the Mint

the dazzling splendor from heaven.
Beneath this celestial scene we see, In
striking contrast, the epileptic boy,
with rolling eyes, distorted features
and spasmodic limbs, held by his agon-
lied father and supported by his sister;
while the mother appeals to the nine
disciples with imploring look, as II to
saw: eye must call down your Mas
ter from the mount; for he alone, can
heal and save my son." In connecting
the two scenes the painter followed the
narrative of the synoptic Gospels.
Michael Angelo drew his inspiration
for his statues and pictures from Moses
and the prophets, from Dante and
Savonarola. He praised Dante in two
sublime sonnets, and would have pre-
ferred his exile and fame to the great
| est fortune. He heard SavonarOla's
thrilling sermons in San Marco against
the corruptions of the age, and wit
messed his martyrdom, in the Piazza
I della Signoria, on the 9TH of April,
1893. His greatest works are the statues
of Moses Gin San Pietro in Vincoli, in
Rome), of David Gin Florence. of the
"Pieta" Gin st. Peters,, the pictures
of the Prophets and the Last Judg-
ment" Gin the Sistine Chapel, and the
cupola Of

The "Pieta" is his first important
work which raised him suddenly to
the rank of the first sculptor in Italy

the Virgin Mary holding the crucified
Redeemer in her arms, and excites the
deepest emotions of sympathy with the
grief of the mother, as the "Stabat
Mater" does inpoetry. Michael Angeles
works have colossal proportions, and
refuse to be judged by ordinary rules.
His Moses, the most famous of his
sculptures, originally intended for a
sepulchral monument Of the war-like
Pope Julius H., is a superhuman figure
Of commanding majesty and dignity,
and looks like a mighty warrior ready
to break the tables of the law in fierce
Indignation at the worship Of the
golden calf. His Last Judgment"
on the alter wall of the Sistine Chapel,
reflects Dente's Inferno" and repre-
sents Christ as an angry judge, who
thunders his curse on the wicked, and
sends them into the eternal fire pre-
pared for the devil and his angels.
There is no trace in it of that mercy
which shall say to the righteous on his
right hand: Come, ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation Of the
world" It is indeed impossible for
any artist to unite in n figure the
stern impartiality and the infinite
mercy of the Judge of mankind. But
the former was the dominant concep-
ton of the Middle Ages, and underlies
