JOHN TENNIEL, the old Punch
cartoonist whom the Queen has
recently knighted, did more than
any other British comic artist to
develope the typical John Bull as
we know pictorially. OF course he
did not invent the cartoon, but the
top-boots, the low-crowned hat, the
waistcoat, and the stout walking
stick of the plethoric Briton as
represented in the comic journals
were more strikingly portrayed by
Tennieps pencil than by any other.
THE recent election of M. Ben
jamin Constant, the distinuished
French painter, to the Academy
was gracefully celebrated by his
pupils at the Julian studios. The
men in the studio of the Rue du
Dragon, at which M. Constant is a
colleague of Latrens, held a brill
liant reception, at which toasts and
congratulatiory speeches were
made. The girls in the studio in
the Passage des Panoraman erect
ed trimphal arch of laurels and
roses, under which he was obliged
to make little speech to his pupils.
When he started to 60 he found the
staircase to the street lined with
young girls, each of whom held
aloft a palm branch or long spray
of flowers, so that the painter pass
ed out under an archway of flowers.
CAPTAIN W. M. MEREDITH, late
chief of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, had the honor of
making successful fight against
the color line in that department
of the government. Under him the
first colored woman was assigned
to duty as plate printers assistant
under the civil service law. The
printer to whom she was assigned
refused to work with the colored
girl; but Captain Meredith would
not apply for another woman in
her place. The result now is that
more than one-third of the force of
assistants are colored girls, who
had their attention attracted by
the fight against one of their race
to the fact that it was possible for
colOred people to secure these
places by passing the civil serv-
ice examination. Those of the
colored girl graduates of the high
school who do not secure places as
teachers now turn to the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.
