The sradonnaa OF Bottloe,l,.

As we examine the various madonnas
by Botticelli Ia the galleries Of London,
Berlin, Paris and Florence we cannot
fail to be struck by the ardor Of emotion
that seems to have animated the painter
in his search for the perfect type OF
beauty realized in the "Crowning of the
Virgin The construction of the head
Of the Virgin is essentially the same in
all Botticelli's pictures, but the feshly
mask and the expression vary, and the
final charm of each one remains an un-
decipherable puzzle
We feel that this madonna is an init
mate vision of the ideal woman who
unparalleled the painters soul; so
Dante speaks of Beatrice, the object of
surprising desire. We marvel at the
mouth, at tho eyes, at the eyelids. at the
sweep Of the brows, at the thick golden
threaded hair, at the splendor of the
draped head over which angels hold a
crown. at the beautiful color of the
flesh, which suggests souvenir of the
vita Nuovar
She hath that paleness OF the pearl that's fit
In u fair woman; so much and not more;
She Is as high as natures skill can soar;
Beauty Is tried by her comparison.

A PAIR of Misera.

Mr.. and Miss Dancer are reputed the
most notorious misers of the Eighteenth

disposed of their wealth was even more
strange than could have been Their
method of acquiring it. The total value

TIE CABIN. ON TIE CLAIM.

Lonely, you say, with mighty arch
% sky so grandly bending?
By bright hued clouds and glittering stars
A tender message sending2
Joyless2 When out of crimson cloud
The sunrise pours its glory,
Morn after morn repeating well
Aurora's cheerful story2
Peaceless? When night with noiseless feet,
From fields of herbs and flowers,
Sweet odors In her mantle dark
Bears TO this cot of ours2
Like faintest sounds of distant seas
Pounding some castle hoary,
We hear the great worlds roar and fret
And trace her changeful story.
As far away white cleaning sail,
Turning bend of river,
A noble deed with radiant flash
Makes every heartstring CULVER.
So, thankful, where the kindly stars
Spangle the blue with beauty,
We look and breathe the fervent wish
That all may do their duty.

An Accommodating Barber.

Some of the rural towns in New Eng

cutting is usually done by an accommo-
dating neighbor. A writer recently fell

dating ways:

A Fortune in "Attendances.,

A certain hotel keeper in London de-
cided not to charge his customers for
attendance, but he found that many of
them objected to the omission, and ac-
cordingly there appeared the charge of
eighteen pence day in each bill. That
eighteen pence produced $4,000 year.
He began business with only 1850,
and he recently retired into private life
worth a150,000. He was at one time in
domestic service, and he has recently
bought an Essex estate, with its old
mansion and deer park. --London Tit

EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.

The Finance Committee of the City
Council has n very important matter to
consider in the communication from
Messrs. Potter & Atherton relative to ex-
empting new industries from taxation.
The above mentioned firm says 1t has
knowledge that certain manufacturing
and industrial enterprises, some OF which
are elsewhere established, and Others Of
which are now being organized, and the
sum OF whose capital is very large, are
prepared to locate their works upon the
Plains If the following encourage
ments be extended to them, viz:
1-Ifthese lands can be secured 10 them
for these purposes upon suitable terms.
2-It the unusual risks assumed by such
location or re- location Of such industries
be counter balanced by temporary ex-
emption of their works and lands from
ordinary taxation and thus enable these
enterprises to obtain footing ana be.
come established.
3-If suitable conveniences be afforded
to them and their employees by the exten-
of the street railway services, and that
they have the advantage of the public
water works and sewerage system OF the
city upon equal terms with other citizens.
There is little question but that first
named encouragement will readily be
given by land owners, but the question Of
exemption from taxation is one that has
puzzled the minds of wise Legislators.

THE COLUMBUS CELEBRATIONS.

The preparations for the Columbus cele-
brations Of this year In the Italian city
Genoa, the Spanish city Of Madrid, the
Cuban city of Havana, the North Amcri-
can cities OF New York and Mexico, and
in various cities of Central and South
America are interesting to all observers OF
them.
The Genoa celebration will certainly be
very attractive, and the United States is to
be represented both in the naval pagoan-
try and in the city spoctacles, The
Madrid celebration will surely be very
grand and instructive; and "A United
States Commission will be there with the
American flag.
Nearly all the Governments Of Europe
are interested in this celebration, at which
there will be historical and artistic and
scientific exhibits OF unsurpassed attract
iveness, well worthy OF study by Aneri-
cans, many of whom will doubtless seize
the opportunity of becoming acquainted
with them. The Kew York celebration
in the second week Of October Is very sure
to be attractive and meritorious.
The Committee on Plan and Scope has
drawn up comprehensive programme, in
which provision is made for pageantry oi
picturesque kind in the city, and for
fine naval display. AS for the celebra
tions in the West Indies and in the coun.
tries that lie south of the United States
we shall doubtless get all the desired new
about them when the preparations foi
them shall be made.
The Columbus celebrations Of this year
both in the Old World and the New, will
be entertaining. a person OF leisure can

AN exchange says the old statute
relating to the width of wagon tires
is still in force in England. 1t is the
General Turnpike act, and regulates
the weight to be allowed to wagons,
carts, etc, according to the width of
the tires on their wheels. The limit
for nine inches in width 60 tons in
summer and a little less in winter.
The six-inch tire is allowed a load of
A tons, and four and halt inch tires
are permitted a maximum of 4 / tons.
An increased toll is levied at the turn
pixies for weight over the statutory
figures. and one-half extra toll is eX-
acted from the drivers of all wagons
which have tires less than four and a
half inches broad. We ought to have
similar requirements in this country.
1t is the vehicles with narrow tires
that do the greatest amount of mis-
CHIEF in cutting up the roads in the
country and the pavement IN cities.
They ought to be taxed out of exist
ence. The narrow tire is luxury fol
possession of which the owner should
be made to paw sufficient to reimburse
the community for the harm it does
to the roads

all their lines for the benefit of persons
who want to look over the strip. The

LEE LUNG CHUNG of Santa Rosa is
grateful for the lucidity that beams
throughout the law. throwing a mel
low light upon the path Of the
breaker thereof. The Chinaman was
tried for murder. The verdict was
that he was guilty. The man who
wrote the verdict forgot to state that
Lee was guilty of murder, deeming it
reasonable to suppose that having
been tried for murder, his culpabllity
had relation to that crime rather than
to chicken-stealing or arson. How
ever, the defendant obtained a second
trial by reason of the omission, and
a jury avoided the risk OF further de-
lay by pronouncing him innocent

THERE is one way of attaining wha

THERE is one way of attaining what
we may term. if not utter, at least
mortal happiness. 1t is this-a sin
cere and unrelaxing activity for the
happiness of others. In that one
maxim is concentrated whatever is
noble in morality, sublime in religion,
or unansWerable in truth. In that
permit we have all the scope for
whatever is excellent in our hearts,
and none for the petty passions to
which our nature is heir. Thus en-
gagged, whatever be our errors, there
will be nobility, not weakness, in our
remorse; whatever our failures, vir-
tue not selfishness, IN our regrets; and
IN success vanity itself will become
holy and triumph eternal.

THERE seems a possibility that the
gruesome organization known as a
Suicide Club has really an existence.
The action of young man in New
York who sent a bullet through his
own head recently, is said to have
been due to his ardor to fulfill a
pledge he had made in joining the
order. However, the man had been
a drunkard. and Wrestled frequently
with remorse, and may have preferred
in leaving a struggle wherein he
lacked character and brains to make
a creditable resistance, to have de-
parted in the garb of the dolt rather
than in that of coward. Of course
the individual that would join a sui
eide club is verging on paresis, or
aping the symptoms Men Of intel
ligence, of real worth, their mental
ity clouded by trouble or overwork,
occasionally yield to the suicidal i'm
pulse. Others whose natural ten
denotes are morbid. are led astraY by
reading after the philosophers, OF
whom MaInlander was a type and Sc.
renely assured that they are doing
what they have a right to do, select
the mode of taking of, and go hence
satisfied, generally leaving their
neighoors in similar frame OF mind.
But the person who would join a
suicide club stands on a different
plane. To term him fool would be
libel on asylums full of jibberine
simpletOns. There does not appear
any reason why he should be particu
larly discouraged in his ambition, and
a few frank remarks above his grave
may deter others from the sin OF vol
untary idiocy.
