TALMAoE ON ART.

The Brooklyn nivine Expresses Some
Strong and Heroic Opinions.
The chief attraction OF Rev. De Witt
Talmage is his capacity for saying
things. A man attracts attention and
admiration when he has the nerve to
say publicly what every body thinks
privately. but dares not say. His SER
mon, '.Satan an Artist" is a defense
Of art as power for good. He claims
that the worlds brain is a picture gall
lery Of impressions and scenes, that
our lives are nodded by the character
OF pictures we study. He then makes
this bold assertion:
Ills not IN the spirit OF prudery. but backed
up BY Gods eternal truth. when say that you

The proportion of people who have
studied art until technique and artistic
sense Of color and form destroy their
first natural conception OF the subject,
is very small. Surgeons. in the tech
nique of their art, necessarily and
properly lose that sense Of personality
or individuality which would make
their business horrible to the uon-pro-
fessional man or woman. Men and
women, not versed in artist science,
who look at pictures only as such. can
not but shrink from canvas on which
Is painted what they have been taught

tionalitys good taste and modesty.
People dread being laughed at. So
they stand smiling outwardly. shrink
ing.inwardly, before pictures they dare
not condemn. They feel as a sensi-
tive man or woman would If forced to
witness horrible surgical operation,

From Toast by n RS. Robinson at Minneap-

Several months ago friend brought to

sign; but the exceeding lightness
of the metal (scarce q feathers
weight in the handy, combined
with what knew Of it's strength, its i'm.
pervioueness to rust and it's adaptability
to use, pleased me very much--gave me
a strange, unaccountable delight. put
it away on d shelf with other things and
thought no more about 1t till few days
after came across it again; and again
felt that same peculiar pleasure.
In fact, the same thing happened every
time that little article suddenly came un-
der my notice, till finally studied 1t out !;
and said, | know why that little alumni.
mum cup has such strange attraction for
me. 1t is not on account Of it's beauty,
rarity or cost, for 1t has none of these it
is not the pleasure We often feel In gift,
for 1t ia not even mine. 1t is not the
thing at all, but the promise there is in
it. IL is what it means. And It means
the flying machine! The air-ship! 1t
means cheap and rapid transportation
through tho unmonopolized highway Of
the trackless air 1t means practical

fact, 1t means the transformation OF man

The Portland Election.

When the public hears the mass Of evil
dence, says the Portland Tomahawk, OF
fraud in the late election that has been
gathered by Colonel Effiugsr, counsel for
the contestants, it will be greatly sur
prised. Seventy.fve laborers were
brought from the Cascade Locks and each
paid $3.50 for every vote but the third,
when they were not paid, SO they have
sQuealed. Forty were brought from Os-
wego and voted several times each
Seventy five from the reservoir on the hill
west of City Park were quartered at the
Rheinphalz hotel on Front street and
when they came up to vote the proprietor
Of the house happned to be one of the
clerks of election at the precinct. He
protested, saying they had not resided at
his place long enough to vote; neverthe-
less they did vote. And so tho story
goes on. At the polling place corner OF
Washington and Fourth streets no re.
cord Of addresses was kept as the law
specifies shall be done. When l said
after June 4. that the election reeked OF
fraud, knew whereof l spoke. The ring
had determined to win and it did win,
but how? The methods will be exhibit
ted for public inspection when the cases
are tried.

The Speech Was in Italics.

from the Utlca observer.
1t was in 1847 when the free coil state
convention was neld at Herkimer. There
was a great gathering Of free soil demo-
Gratis and abolitionists. In the ball room
Of the hotel Git was called tavern in
those days., before the opening of the
convention, were gathered the leaders,
who were constructing the new party
platform, stating the officers and COM
mittees and doing her preliminary
work. In chair tilted against the wall
was Prince John Van Buren, running
over the manuscript Of the great speech
he was to deliver. Occasionally be ar
rested the work of his associates with an
invitation to listen to paragraph which
he considered especially good. His read
ings each time produced laughter and APP
plsuse. Finally be read a passage which
excited shouts Of laughter and applause.
When this had died away somebody, we
believe it was the Hon. Churchill G
Cambreling said "John, you ought to
have that part printed in italics" Prince
John dryly affected surprise at the sug
geetion. "Gentlemen, he said, ~ wan
