Not So Much Divided. After All.

Not So Much Divided, After All.
The Democrats in Congress, having
adjusted their little family quarrels as to
the best way Of serving the public good,
are now getting down to business The
Republicans and Populites. who have
been 90 iubilant over the prospect of pro-
fiting over their seeming hopeless diyis-
ions. are opening their eyes in surprise
at the ease and facility with which they
unite and present solid front to their
common enemies. The Bland bill, for
the coinage of the silver seigniorage, has
been favorably referred; the Hatch anti
option bill has received favorable atten-
ton; the Wilson tariff bill, and the popu-
lar amendment to make the votes Of
three-fourths Of jury constitute legal
or qualified verdict, can be placed in the
same category, with quite a number Of
smaller measures, and, all together. q
very considerable amount OF spikihg has
been done TO the biggest guns Of both
Republicans and Popultes.

Senator White sent Gov. Foster his
resignation on the 7th, and the governor
immediately appointed Mr.. Blanchard to
his position. We are pleased to see the
favorite son of north Louisiana thus ad-
vanced. In this appointment the COVER
nor has not only given deserved recogni-
ton to this section, but he has secured q
valuable servant for the whole State, and
also strengthened Democracy by good and
strong ties of fellowship.
This precipitates an election to FIJI the
vacancy in Congress, and interest is now
fully as much conferred on the struggle
in this district as it was on the late sp-
pointment. We have many fne men to
select from, but feel tied to none of them,

contest is to be sharply waged. but we

are favorably disposed toward couple of
gentlemen named in Rapides, but, as it
is early in the fight and our space limited,
we reserve commitment in the matter.

GROW OLD GRACEFULLY.

How Young People should Accept the
Coming of Gray Hairs.
1t is often said that few women know
how to grow old gracefully. There is
certainly Il graceful way and an ungrace-
full way of taking all the goods and ills
of life, and since we must take what life
offers us it is we'll to accept what comes
in as graceful Il manner as possible.
The ungraceful way of receiving the adj
vances of Father Time is persistently to
refuse to acknowledge him. Here is q

1t doesn't seem possible that she can
ignore Father Time so utterly at that
age but she does. She bangs her hair;
wears Juvenile bonnets, and even hats;
tight jackets, and dresses copied
from her daughters or younger friends.
She pinches her waist, and her feet, and
her hands in the vain attempt to disguise

No Apology Needed.

Many years ago, in the Clay county
Und.) court. while Judge Bowers was on
the bench and the court in session. some
thing was said in argument by Daniel w.
Voorhees,. which aroused the anger of
Solomon Claypool, who, when he secured
an opportunity, heaped the bitterest anath-
emas upon his antagonist. Attorney
Voorhees, Immediately sprang toward At
torney Claypool and struck him in the
face. They elinched. tore each other S
clothes. tipped over chairs and tables.
Suddenly and simultaneously they came
to their sober senses. and looked up to the
bench. They were somewhat astonished
to find the judge. with his back to them,
innocently engaged in reading a news
paper They began to apologize, when
they were calmly interrupted by Judge
Bowers with the remark: "Why. you
need make no apology. gentlemen. / saw
evidence of an oncoming difficulty and
considered it best to see no more. The

SOULS OF SECLUDED SPOTS.

Dim Temples Haunted by the Mystic
Spirit Which Outlasts All Ages.
Marion Crawford, writing of the Won
derfu Italian coast between Sorrento and
Amalli. in the July number of the Cen
tury, says the genius loci of the ancients
is not altogether Il myth. N truer mystl-
csm than their mythology teaches us that
places retain TOR ages something OF the
lives that have been lived in them. an
echo of the voices that have made them
musical a tleeting shadow of the men
and women who found in them their hap
piness or their sorrow. Those who have
spent much time in secluded spots learn
the soul Of Il place is indeed its genius
loci. its familiar spirit, its peculiar es-
sence, as real thing us the scent of Il
rose or the smell of the sea- There are
rosegardens in the East that are fair
with the accumulated happiness of past
in Italy wherein still dwells the silent
spirit of contemplation; perhaps the phan-
tasms of tragic loves sigh out their little
day beneath the ancient trees. In Italy.
in Greece, in Asia, in distant Indian
glens, dim temples stand to this day,
of that mystic spirit which outlasts all
ages. And the market-place has its
familiar genius also, the busy center of
the crowded city, the broad thoroughfare
of the great metropolis, silent for few
hours under the summer moonlight or
the winter rnin. Old castles too, deserted
villages. uninhabited homes of dead popu-
lations-all have wraiths, the ghosts of
what they have been. silent to the many,
but more eloquent to the few than any
human speech can ever be. And besides
all these, there are spots where nature
has never been nodded by man, where she
is sovereign and he is subiect-lonely
places by the sea, great sunlit slences
where man has not dared to dwell because
nature there would give him nothing. nor
was he able to take anything from her.
And the spirit of those places is more
lonely, and grander, and mighter, than
the genius loci of the market place, or of
the deserted Italian villa, "where the red
dog star cracks the speechess statues"
or even of the shady cloister or of the
wind-swept temples of banished gods.
The song of songs is still unwritten,
though natures music makes mans
grandest symphonies ridiculous. and
sounds night and morning in the ears of
him who has ears to hear

FRENCH ART OF TODAY.
Only the Genius of the People Keeps
from Hopeless Debasement.

Only the Genius of the People Keeps it
from Hopeless Debasement.
John c. Van Dyke writes of the dis
play of paintings at the Worlds fair
in the July number of the Century. At
ter declaring that perhaps the greatest
promise for the future is shown by
America and Scandinavia, Mr.. Van
Dyke says: For years all the art roads
have lead to Paris. 1t is today the CEN
skill and knowledge as well as a hotbed
of eccentricities, mannerisms, stilted af-
fectations and small trickeries. 1t takes
in the world, takes credit for all its vr-
tues and is saddled with all it's vices.
1t is ruled by the quips and 'cranks of
it is magniied and belittled; it is over
praised and underpraised; it seems to be
rising to lofty heights at times, and then
| again to be sinking into the mire. 1t
is at once the best and the worst art
center in the world. a crucible where all
yet all average up Il respectable grade
of amalgam. That which keeps it from.
hopeless debasement is the art genius
of the French people. Has that art
genius ever yet reached its apogee? Has
it filled its mission, and voiced the finer
in Italy and Spain? Did we accept
the exhibit ut the Worlds fair as n cr-
terion, we might think her day was
about finished, that her artists had said
all there was for them to say; but the
representation was inadequate.
The French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiI ess displayed there, for
all the studio recitation, all the exagger-
ated realism, all the tawdry sentiment,
and yet at heart they have little sym
pathy with them. The academic was
foisted upon them early in life by the
example of Italy and the misdirected
energy of royalty. Poussin or Lebrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy up
held the academic because it smacked of
heroism and the empire because it fos-
| tered the military spirit, but the republic
has barely tolerated it, and the radicals
have always hated it. 1t is the bette noire
of French art against which there has
been long series of revolutions. Why,
| if not that it fails to represent the
French? They are fond enough of talk
ing about such loyalsts rs Poussin, Da-
vid, Ingres and Cabancl, but the men
| they love are the rebels, Vatican, Fra
gonard, DclacroiX, Millet, Corot, Courbet.
| The vivacious, the decorative, the emo
| tional, the sentimental, the positive-all
these they love because they are national
characteristics; but the mock-heroic, the
grandilouuent. the bombastic, have been
more the result of foreign imitation than
| the outcrop of French feeling.
