The Oncr.

The NEWS proposes to send at It's own
cost a representative Rhode Island work
ingman to Great Britain to report upon
the condition of workingmen there. 1t
will pay all his expenses and furnish him
with guide books and all necessary infor-
nation and assistance in laying out his
route. IL will also pay iull day wages
for every day of his absence either to him
or 20 his family. He will start some time
in May and will have time enough to do a
great deal of sightseeing besides investiga-
ting huts and houels and tenements
Thus, if man has family, its support
will be amply provided for while he is
gone, and the wife can put tidy sum in
the savings bank every week besides, as
expenses will of course be less with the
husband away. If he is single he can save
every cent of his wages for the entire dur
alton of the trip.

CARO- TO drinking that every man of fashion
should bear in mind. Avoid the matuti-
mai cocktail. OF course, it seems just the
night thing when you get up in the morn
ms, look into the mirror and find unmis-
taxable evidences that you had a great
time the night before. Your thoughts
naturally advert to brornides and antypy-
rne. Your physician. if he is good one,
will tell you TO avoid all these temporary
expedients. His advice will run some
thing like this: Swing your Indian clubs
for ten minutes. or exercise with your
dumb bells for the same length OF time, and
then jump into bath as cold as you can
stand il. If you have shower bath handy
take it in as icy shape as possible, and
then rub yourself down with crash towel
until you can fairly feel the blood purling
into every part of your now reviving con-
stitution"
That was all ron needed-iust to get

More Pictures of DIR. Depew.

Another distinguished portrait painter
a foreigner, of course, or he would not be
distinguished as a painter of portraits
among the smart set" from whom his
principal patronage comes-has produced
a fresh picture of the much-painted DR..
Depew. The artist has further claim to
acceptance by the smart set" by his
hyphenated name, Muller-Ury. His
picture is fairly faithful, but it is
not nearly so good as the scarcely yet
dry one painted by an American artist,
William (. Marshall, who also is
rapidly finishing now fine engraving
from his own picture. These frequent
portraits. apparently without provoc alton
or even particular purpose, suggest that
DIR. Depew, after all, is mainly conspicu-
Gus as q picturesque individual. Far be IL
from me, or any one, TO say that the dis
tinguished doctor is not emInently useful,
but as a public man he is mainly orna-
mental All his performances, as an after
dinner speaker, and in all the public func-
tons in which he 50 cheerfully and bril-
liantly officiates, are really a series OF at
tractive pictures. They attract, they
please, and they are popular. But, after
ali. q cynic would say, they are only sue
cessiye shows, one after another, OF the
much esteemed. much advertised and
much beloved DE. Depew. Ana, by the
way, the reelection OF Mr.. Depew To a
seventh term presidency OF the Union
League Club last week attests the personal
esteem in which he is held. There was a
disposition on the part OF the younger ele-
nent OF the club 70 drop him overheard,
but they conld not even secure the hearty
cooperation of Mr. Cornelius Bliss, whom
they put up as their candidate for presi-
dent. But his little fight upon Chauncey
will probably be accepted as hint TO step
aside next year.

The biographer of Columbus also pro-
duces good evidence to show that Chris
was not by long. long distance the pio-
neer in the theory of the earth's spheric-
ity. 1t was an idea taught by the Pytha-
goreans in the sixth century before Christ,
which was, as the ready mathematician
will see at once, about 1000 years before
Christopher Columbus got his lunch put
up for his great journey west Two hum
dred years before Christ, Crates is said to
have constructed globe map over ten feet
in diameter and offered il as a premium
with his paper, so that even in the time of
our Savior the sphericity of the earth was
not new thing. Religious matters of
course engrossed the attention at that
time so much that geography was yet in
its infancy, but it was common talk in
Jerusalem, especially on the west side,
that the earth was round like ball and
composed of land and water.
Toscanelii had much to do with firing
up Columbus to make the voyage of dis
covery. We hear very little of Toscanelli,
and yet he taught Columbus that the
earth was round like a ball and fattened
at the poles Toscanel!i had figured out
by means of logarithms and piece of
chalk that the circumference of the earth
was 1900 miles. This slight error of
1000 miles, considering what disadvan-
