investigation. One expert, Gabriel
Deneux, proposes system of encaustic
painting by which hot irons would be
nsed instead of brushes. The work,
after being branded instead of painted,
would have to be treated chemically. The
conservative painters, however, hope that
some Improvement may be attained in the
mixture of colors in which such a radical
innovation as cautery will not be resorted
to.
A decision by the New York court of
appeals is of Importance to travellers. The
artist Dora Wheeler, coming from Europe
on the steamer Germanic, lost by the neg
igence of the steamship company a pack
age of portraits which she had painted
abroad. The case was dismissed by the
court at its trial and the general te. of
the Supreme court affirmed the dismissal
in accordance with United States statute
which provides that unless a shipper of
certain valuable articles give notice of the
nature and value of such articles the mas
ter and owners shall not be liable as carri-
ers. But Judge Finch, delivering the
opinion of the court of appeals, declares
that this statute leaves untouched the
lesser liability of bailee, that negligence
was established by prima facie evidence,
and that the case should have gone to the
Jury.

A NATTER of FRIENDSHIP.

A MATTER OF FAIkNDSH1P.
1t has long been realized that pension
attorneys are the disinterested friends of
the old soldiers. Now these attorneys
want some reciprocity. The movement for
a reduction of the attorneys fees has made
some progress, and the paper which is
published in their interest contains a long
address urging the veteran soldiers of the
country to stand by their legal friends. 1t
asserts that few, if any, of the pension
bills would have been passed if the attor-
neys or claim agents had not worked for
them, and declares that if the pension
agents can be broken down pension allow
ances will virtually cease and hundreds of
millions that rightfully belong to the sol
diers and their dependent ones will remain
in the treasury, heaped up and idle, to fur
nish a powerful reason for reducing the
revenues, breaking down our protective
system and bringing about free trade
The address ends as follows: "We believe
it to be the duty of all soldiers to rally to
the support of their pension attorneys,
when attacked by the hireling, free trade,
soldier hating gang. They should give
their senators and representatives to un-
derstand at once, and in unmistakable
terms that they have no sympathy what
ever with this raid against their attorneys
and strongly condemn it,
All of which is very interesting and sig
nifcant The veterans will probably
promptly and vigorously respond to this
appeal of their old friends. 1t will only
cost the pensioners about ss, 800, 900 if the
regulations about fees are not changed, ,and
this is small sum when it is required to
cement an old friendship.

eat, to run across a milk-white Arabian
stallion that had been hidden in the pines
by his master. took the horse into camp,
and General Sickes, who was a connois-
seur of horsefiesh, no sooner put his eyes
on him than he recaptured him from me.
l made no remonstrance, however. as the
horse was of no use to me-
ga few days later the owner of the Ara
bian came into camp, identified his horse
and claimed him. Sickles held that he was
confscated horse and refused to give him
up. Then the owner went to Secretary
Stanton for relief and made affidavit that
he was loyal man, and came back to camp
with the order from Stanton to Sickles to
deliver the horse. In the meantime the
horse had disappeared. He turned up, how
ever, in New York city few days later as
the property of George Wilkes, but neither
Stanton nor the horses owner was aware
of these facts. When the matter was oui-
eted down one day an item appeared in the
papers that George Wilkes had presented a
thoroughbred Arabian war charger to Gen
eral Hooker
"That was how the horse came into
Hooker's possession and how he came to
ride him at the battle of Charlottesville.
He was one of the finest specimens of his
race, and when settled on him General
Hooker was not only the best mounted Off
Ger in the Union army, but he was far and

VILI~AGE SECESSION.


At least one astonishing proposition is
before the Massachusetts legislature. This
is that villages situated within town be
allowed to become towns by their own &C
ton when certain number of voters are
ready for such action. This move will
strike those who know about Massachu-
sets affairs as little short of revolutiona-
ry. Against it it is urged that during the
colonial period not single instance can
be found in which the general court cre-
ated new town without the consent of
the existing town from whose territory it
was taken. In the provincial days the
same policy was followed, the only excep-
ton being when it was necessary to got
support for religious worship. 1t is, as
the Boston Herald points out, proposed to
have this legislature declare that the action
of many legislatures before it has been
wrong; for, since 1882, there has been
but one case in which a legislature
has agreed to consent to town
division against the wishes of town
itself. In other words, this legislature is
asked to say that portion of the people in
towns ought to be allowed to do just what
all those legislatures instanced above have,
after careful and thorough examination,
declared that they ought not to do. The
proposition is to go further, and to admit
that the legislature itself should not be
deemed the proper party to pass upon
propositions which every legislature has
passed upon since the people elected legis-
latures in Massachusetts.
1t is not at all probable that this scheme
will work. We believe that the right of
village secession prevails in Kansas, but
Kansas isn't Massachusetts,
