A Famous Artist.

1t is n little difficult to say whether
England or America is best entitled to
claim George ii. Boughton. Although
born in England, he was brought to
this country at the age of 3. In Albany,
where his parents resided, he began
the study of art without masters,
opening his first studio in 1850. He
sold one of mis- earliest works TO the
American Art Union in 1850, and on
the proceeds went to London for the
purpose of observation and improve
ment. He returned to Albany in n
few months, but subsequently went to
New York. In 1859 no went to Paris,
studying and copying until he re-
moved in 1861 to LOn1on, where he has

Amusements in the House of Commons

Amusements In the Honse of Commons.
Games" of every kind are either
rigidly or passively forbidden in the
House of Commons. The place is regu-
lated by most Hscetlc code of ethics.
The theory of the Legis allure is legis-
lation. Everyone who enters Parlia-
ment is supposed to have only one OBJ
ject at heart-work. So amusement
has never entered into the schedule of
the NJ. p. life. An attempt was made
some time ago to have billiard table
set up in one of the spare rooms at the
House, but the proposer was disdain-
fully crushed by the Speaker. Card
playing, even in the form of game of
innocent three-penny whist, is forbid
den under all kinds of lawful penalties
to be drawn out of the plenary armory
of the Speaker. Chess alone is suffered
and this is "winked at" rather than
permitted. Only n certain number of
newspapers are allowed, and these are
subject to the approval of the Ser
geant-at-Arms, who indeed, in this, as
in other more serious IN alters, exer-
c.ses a sovereign censorship.

Auot,oneers. WAYS.

The ways of auctioneers in different
parts of the world vary greatly. In
England and America the seller bears
the expense of the sale, but in
France the purchaser pays the cost, 5
per cent being added to the price he
pays. In Holland it is still worse, the
buyer being required to pay 10 per
cent additional for the expense of the

NEG ALTON AND DESTRUCTION.

If the hard times are chargable to Re-
publican laws why did they not develop
under Republican rule? IF nothing
more, it proves that the Democrats are a
conspicuous failure in enforcing Repub-
lican laws. 1t must be admitted that we
have enjoyed universal prosperity for
the last decade, and, though laws may
not be perfect, the business interests of
the country were in better condition
then than now. We know that this
prosperity continued to the date of our
last presidential election, and that from
that event there has been continuous
falling off. This cannot be attributed
to anything the Democrats have done.
Congress has not been in session, and
the chief executive has spent
the major part of his time angling for
big and little fishes. Whatever harm
has developed has been the result of the
avowed policy Of the Democratic party
If a simple resolution to reform the
tariff and mere declaration that they
intend to straddle the currency question
has caused the closing of hundreds of
banks and thousands of other industries,
I what may we expect from the thing
itself? We are not inclined, however, to
the pessimistic view of the case. 1t is
already apparent that there will be suffi-
Gent artful lodging these issues to pre-
vent harmful legislation at the coming
/ session. Ii is notorious that no Demo-
cratic administration has ever lived up

One exchange likens Chicago, in its
worlds fair experience, to the shark that
swallowed the swordfish; another to
the fellow that purchased a white ele-
plant. All this is based upon the suppo-
sition that the gate receipts constitute
the PRINCIPAL revenue of the fair man
ayers, while the fact is, that is COM
paratively inconsiderable part of their
income. The sale of privileges, fees and
the like is what pays, and the revenue
1rom these sources is perhaps as much

western part of the state that has been
represented by certain designing IN
dividuals for selfish purposes has been
abundantIy disproved. Still it will not
be denied that there are, here ana there
cases of real distress and probably some
where the necessary aid cannot be ex-

ought TO be vouchsafed, and this calls

ance to persons of other occasions,
whose distress is the result, in part at

of their brethren in occasion, not the re-
suit Of any act Of theirs, would make
as strong appeals to the philanthropic
farmer.
