Tho Work Of Daubigny.

Daubigny brought into landscape
art greater freshness and spontaneity
than had yet been seen, and his work
first seiZes you by its force, and then
charms you. AS poems of nature
thrown off in the heat of passion and
feeling, so his works affect you, and
continue to do so the more they are
studied. "He painted better than he
knew" when with palette-knife and
brush he dashed in effects instan-
taneoCsly, and one wonders how so
much can be expressed by such slight
means.
He was among the first "impres-
sionists," and realism" was one Of
his notices, but how different his art
from that too often called by these
names to-day. 1t was not the coarse
materially, the surface qualities,
and the bare optical effect alone that
he sought to render. He penetrated
deeper, and the surface was always
the outgrowth and expression of a
spiritual center. The thing and the
thought, the spirit and the matter,
were equally balanced, and never did
he put a touch of color to canvas
that had not first passed, no matter
how rapidly, through his own spirit
ual self.
His Interpretation of nature was
direct, and he sought to obtain scien-
titlc truth; but art, too, for him was
expression, never mere reasonless
imitation alone. A presiding intelli-
gence, and still farther back an i'm
pulse of soul, directed the production
of all his works. He found ideal in
the real, and set to work to record it.
Thus each work was the re ,ult of a
fresh emotion, expressed in its own
way; and if you see fifty pictures by
Daubigny you will find each different
IN conception, color, and execution.

CHAPTER II.

Outside the old wall, little of which
still stands, runs, winding slowly
through the meadows, the river on
whose banks the ancient northern town
is built. It is broad enough for toats,
and on summer evenings a few come
out, but not many, because it is sleepy

have any 60 in them seek their fortunes
elsewhere when they come to the row.
ing age. For half a mile or so below
the town a broad walk has been con-
stlucted, having the river on one side
and row of trees on the other. Seats
are planted here and there. It is the
boulevard Of the townspeople, and, when
the weather and season allow, the place
is crowded and animated with the girls
in this happy town there are thirty
girls to one young man-who go up and
down in pairs laughing and prattling as
merrily as If they were not destined by

pleasant, peaceful place to which the
crowd Of girls lends an illusive show of
youth. I say Elusive because youth
ought not to be all of one sex. and when
there are not male and female In equal
proportion, youth loses its brightness.
When the evenings are cold and dark
the place is deserted. No one walks
there after sunset. This was the reason
why a certain couple chose the place on
one evening in October. It was little

Farmers Rob a Train.

The regular east-bound st. Louis and
San Francisco passenger train was
robbed. few miles east of Augusta, by
four Butler county farmers. The rob-
bers have been arrested and all of the
stolen money except few dollars has
been recovered.
As the train slowed up at the Santa
Fe crossing east of Augusta, two masked
men mounted the locomotive from either
side, and. covering the engineer and
fireman with guns. ordered them to stop
the train. When the train came to a
standstill two other members of the rob-
bers gang, whe were in hiding, started
to uncouple the express car. As soon
as this was done the engineer was forced
to pull out with the car about a mile
distant from the rest of the train.
Express Messenger Ship had moth
ing with which to defend his car but a
small revolver. Ship was forced to
open his safe and the robbers ransacked
everything, getting between fifteen and
twenty packages of money.
The whole thing was over in about
thirty minutes. and the highwaymen
left the train, firing few parting shots
at the receding locomotive, which, how
ever, hit no one.
The outlaws did not attempt to rob
the passengers, and but few of the lat
ter knew anything of the situation until
all was over
Arriving at Beaumont, Conductor
Akers notified Sheriff Nipp. of Cowley
county, at Winfield. The latter got out
special train on the Santa Fe and
went to Douglass, twelve miles east Of
Augusta. with several deputies, where
he arrested Fred Livingston, Ezra Car
ter, A. A. Barley, and Rollins Motfat for
the robbery. In some manner Sheriff
Nipp had learned of the plot to rob the
train, and he knew right where to put
his hands on the robbers Immediately
after he heard the hold-up had taken
place. The sheriff and his deputies
surrounded the houses of the robbers
and they were taken without fight.
Indisputable evidences of their guilt
were found the masks and the money,
some of the packages not having been
opened when the arrests were made.
The robbers are now in jail at Winfield.

Opening of the Snake Season.

Alexander Krolsky, farmer, near
Derry Hill. Conn, had an experience
with snakes last Monday that has
rendered him temporarily insane and
the physicians are not sure that he
will ever regain his reason.
Krolsky went down into a we'll on
his farm for the purpose of cleaning
il out. He had been down but few
minutes when he shouted TO his cousin,
who had lowered him, TO draw him
up. The man began pulling up the
rope. When he had helped krol;ky
nearly to the top be looked down and
saw that several black and brown wa
ter snakes were wound around krol-
sky's arms and body. The sight OF
the serpents scared the man, and
dropping the rope he ran bowling
away.
Krolsky's shrieks were heard by
laborers IL short distance away and
they ran to the well. hrolsky was
battling desperately with the snakes.
He was quickly helped out. From
his body FIVE immense snakes were
torn and killed. His mind is now de
ranged.
The old we'll in which he encounter
ed the reptiles is apparently full OF
them. A lantern lowered into 1t re-
vealed a countless number OF serpent
heads protruding from the wall.

A Sword With a History.

Mr.. William Caldwell, who travels
for Aug. Wolf 4 Co., while on one OF
his trips 10 West Virginia WAS given
bv an ex-Confederate soldier sword
taken from the dead body Of Union
soldier Oh the First Bull Run battle
field.
The sword Mr. Caldwell brought to
our Office with the idea that by pub
fishing a description of ii perhaps
some one interested may make claim
for il and thus have it 90 TO relatives
OF the hero who formerly wore it.
The weapon is evidently one that
had been carried in either the Revo-
luton or the Mexican war, as its style
antedates the days OF the Rebellion.
The handle is Of ivory, without a
guard and with a straight hilt. On a
band around the handle near the hilt
is cut the name -. b. Hill On the
blade below the hilt is etched j. p.
James, Springfield, with word be-
tween the name and town that under
the microscope looks like Col" The
blade is straight, with a sharp point,
and is beautifully etched with scroll
work. On one side is an eagle with
the motto "E Pluribus Unun" and
on the other side cannon.
Will our exchanges kindly aid in
the effort TO restore the sword to
those interested directly in it.-CAGn'-
