OF the faithfulness to nature Of Raphael
drawing, the following anecdote is a strong
testimony: A party, among whom were
West and Garrick, were dining with the
Earl of Exeter at Burleigh House. The
conversation turned on Hampton court
palace. The cartoons being noticed, Gar
rick, addressing himself to Mr. West, said,
These cartoons are spoken of as the first
works of art in the world, yet have often
passed through the gallery without being
much impressed by them" West expressed
his surprise that Garrick had not had his
attention attracted by some principal beau
ty or figure.
Garrick asked what figure was particular
ly calculated to produce such an effect
Elymas was instanced. "Ahr' replied
Garrick, II now recollect Twas struck with
this figure, but did not think it quite in
character. This man was an attendant at
the court of a Roman governor, and AS
versed in abstruse subjects could be no
vulgar fellow, yet he stands with his feet
straight forward in the manner of a clown.
Why did not Raphael make him in his dis
tress extend his arms like a gentleman while
seeking assistances"
The company, highly interested in the
conversation, united in requesting Garrick
to personate the sOrcerer rs he would on
the stage He consented, and by the time
he was in the middle of the room appeared
the exact counterpart of Raphael's design.
West softly approached him md desired
him not to alter his position, but to throw
off his blindness and survey himself. II

TREASURY BLUNDERS.

When a report is issued from the Treas
ury Department giving In detail the
amount or our exports and of our imports
the average man accepts ii as absolutely
correct. 1t is not supposed that there can
be other mistakes than small error in
adding up. which would be detected in the
tens of millions columns. But the adverse
balance of trade against this country last
year has been so variOusly stated that no
one in or out of the department appears TO
know exactly what that adverse balance
is. 1t was first given out at $685. 800, 000. A
week or two later the discovery was made
that an error of $50, 900 900 had been made
in the import column which would corre-
spondingly reduce the adver:e balance
Soon after other errors were reported, but
in vague sort of way, which left the i'm
preston of disposition somewhere in the
department to make figures do what the
proverb saws figures cannot do. The New
York Times estimates that about S75, 900, 900
of the reported adverse balance never
existed but was created on paper. An
example is given Of the valuation of coffee
from Brazil at % cents when the same
quality OF coffee was selling in our markets
at II cents. Whether these mistakes were
mere blunders or errors with purpose
may never be known. but certainly some
measures should be adopted to protect the
people from such mistakes in the future.

SOMETHING TO FIGHT.

The gold men will put On their armor
when Baiiey's financial scheme comes up
for consideration. The new scheme is
audacious. 1t actually proposes to utilize
the silver in the vaults of the treasury
instead of issuing gold bonds as has been
modestly suggested Bailey's scheme is in
brief to give holders of United States
per cents 120 cents in silver for each 100
cents of their bonds. The bill has other
features, but this is the one the gold men
will try hard to stamp out. The Govern
ment assumes the notes of all banks that
may surrender their bonds and will coin
the silver bullion now in the treasury
vaults to pay the notes with. The present
bill does not look TO the purchase of more
silver to be coined into standard dollars to
buy national bank notes with, but there
seems no reason why the policy, if entered
upon, may not be SO extended as to absor b
all the per cents now outstanding This
would be long step toward bimetallsm
if carried to its logical outcome, as it
would recognize silver on some ratio as
the debt-paying equivalent OF gold. 1t is
q OF at all probable that the bill will get
through Congress, nor is there much doubt
of the fate 1t would meet if it should at

FRANCE A REPUBLIC.

Ii the new French Chamber there will
be no party designated as Monarchists or
Imperialists. This in itself is an advance
on former elections. A Chamber divided
on minor issues but unit on the over
shadowing one of the source of power is a
guarantee that the republic is on firm
basis. When there are Republicans.
Monarchists and Imperialists in the
legislative department of a republic
political differences are source of weak
ness to the Government. The avowed
enemy of the Government is held to be
simply political opponent to be treated
with respect. He is admitted to have
right to tear down the form OF government
he has sworn to support. There are
doubtless Conservatives who would pre-
fer a monarchy to a republic But unless
they are elected as avOwed MOnarchists
they are under a moral obligation to be
loyal to the republic. The party calling
itself Republican has a majority of the
whole even If all the districts not heard
from and the districts that will vote a
second time should elect Conservatives.
The outlook is that the Republicans will
have 450 delegates out of total Of 584.

AN INTERNATlONA AL ROW.

The hot blond which may be described
as persistent between French and Italian
workmen in the south of France has never
before led to surh consequences as are
now reported from the Department of the
Gard. on the western SIDE of the Rhone,
at its entrance into the Gulf of Lyons.
This is a region in which a large popula-
ton of Italians has settled, and naturally
their competition gives rise to feelings of
jealousy and resen ntment among the ouv-
rier classes and the tolers of the fields.
Turbulent demonstrations, strikes and
riots are of frequent occurrence wherever
the one nationality presses closely upon
the other in times of business prostration.
Blood has flowed in these emeutes, but
nothing like the very serious complication
which now demands international expla-
nation has heretofore marked the conflicts.
Political feeling possibly has some share
in the ebulliti0n France has a very strong
opinion that Italy. which owes so much 20
her for services in the past, has no busi.
ness to be joined with Germany in a league
which the statesmen of the empire control.
But the fact that the Paris papers are con-
stantly girding at Italy for false policy
and ingratitude may not count for much
so far south. II is much more probable
that the bloodthirsty mob who have slain
or wounded large number Of Italians
and are driving the remainder out of the
town and district Of Aigues Mortes have
simply long been brOoding over industrial
competition and have been aroused to fury
by incidents trivial in themselves at the
commencement The population of the
Gard region is not remarkable for intelli-
gence. but it is famous for a quick, fiery
temperament and requires very little to
kinule il into violent action.
The hostilties began with riot at
which blows were exchanged very freely.
and no doubt the knife was f1ourished
venomouslv and would account for many
ugly wounds. Their passions being in
ebullition the French resolved to exter-
inmate OF drive out the Italians, and set
about the harsh task in a warlike manner,
by besegiug the refugees in house out
side the town. Shooting went on as at a
siege. Finally. the Italians evacuated the
premises in detachments and fled toward
town. They were. when overtaken or
caught in the town, beaten with clubs,
stabbed or shot, and altogether there are
said to be fifty dead and hundred
wounded. At the scrimmage on Thursday
last, which began the hostilities, ten were
slain and twenty-six wounded. How many
of the French have succumbed is not
stated, but probably the victims are not
nearly SO numerous as among the Italians,

The publication of the facts seems to
have been kept back as long as possible by

SMALL FARMS ANO CITIES.

The profit there is in small farm is
we'll illustrated by a correspondent of The
CALL at Niles, who shows what may be
realized out of $4,000 OF $4,000 Invested in
country home. surrounded by ten or
fifteen acres planted with fruit trees and
vegetables. Such farms return good re-
suits anywhere near a large city, in the
East Rs well as in California. Fiftesn
acres in fruit have brought as much as
$4,000 just outside of Pittsburg. But in
California fruit of the finest quality may
be grown in any part of the State, and
successful farming is not by any means
limited to land in proximity to the city.
There is ALWAYS market East of the
Rockies and in Europe for fruit not de-
manded by local consumption, and the
ques ton which should stir every Califor-
man is how to provide the cheapest trans
porta ton In order to command the Eastern
and foreign markets. Were conditions of
transportation on a right basis all over the
State to encourage fruit ranching on
small scale. there are numbers of families
who would gladly take up the industry
hopefully who are now deferred by uncer-
taintles. California could easily supply
ten times the quantity of green and dried
fruit. vegetables, wine, olives and oil she
now does, and find a fair market for all
were there independent local railroads
and genuine competition by rail East
1t is plain that business man who car
ries on commerce in the city and a small
fruit ranch near it cOmmingles the pleas
ures and profits OF existence very agreea-
bly, if he is successful, but he is more likely
to succeed If he attends TO one enterprise.
The farm of the city business man must
depend upon the labor of others. Yet sue
cess is possible, and money ihus spent on
country home is well invested. Small
farms are the great want of this State.
There is room for many thousands of pros
porous families. and the land Is no: very
high in price. either. if the purchaser is

WORSE THAN NO HOME.
A Humane Society Finds Some Work

as 1t can Rome aud Berlin are ringing
with the news. and in no uncertain voice
there is demand from Italy for repara-
ton. Germany, as the leading power of
the Dreibund, has direct interest in any
International dispute between Italy and
France. and the Emperor and Caprivi are
no doubt watching events with the closest
attention. That France will make amends
for the deplorable occurrence there is no
reason TO doubt How protection, both OF
police and military, was not sooner af-
forded is inexplicable. Such police as
were eye-witnesses seem to have been
powerless, but al least they could have
summoned aid during battle which ragged

on the part of the authorities is no valid
excuse to Italy. which is entitled to re-
