THE colored man Taylor, whom the
President brought from Kansas and
made recorder of deeds for the District
of Columbia, being hauled up by the
civil service commission for soliciting
contributions for political purposes,
strikes back, and says when white
man does such thing, nothing is said
about it, but when negro does it,
there is at once public "upheaval of
indignation and an investigation. :"
Why, under Mr.. Cleveland's first ad-
ministration, and during Mr.. Harrison's,
the officers of the Virginia republican
club ir Washington not only were
charged with similar infraction of the
civil service law, but acknowledged it,
and still went on their way rejoicing.

Considerable ush is now being made
of the newly introduced French article
to which the name of subirine has been
given. The substance consists of pull
verified cork of different degrees of fine
ness, known as impalpable, fine, medi-
um and coarse, the pulverization being
effected by very simple means, such as
horizontal glindstone. Among these
the medium powders have for some
time been employed in the French navy
and by various navigation companies
for painting the sheet iron and parti-
tions Of the insides of vessels. The effect
of such coatings is said to be to consider
ably diminish the conductibility of the
sheet iron and the vibrations so un-
pleasant which are produced as soon as
the sea becomes little rough. Another
use for these cork powders is in the
preparation of substance called lie-
gine, which consists of the powder
mixed with fine plaster in the proper
tion of about 10 per cent. This liegine
composition is turned out in all shapes
and sizes and is stated to be specially
useful as protection alike from heat
or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
ceilings and coatings of all descrip-
tions; also as packing for boilers, ice
houses, conservatories, coverings for
wagons, steam pipes, and similar uses

Artist and Amateur.

A critic, who was recently asked to
define the line between artist and anna
teur, stated that an amateur s sketches
were labored and finished up to invite
favorable criticism, while the artist s
sketches were broad and unfinished,
suggesting much to himself only.
Could not the dividing line be better
detinedP TIE amount of time spent on
a sketch often depends upon opportu-
nifty. When the time is not needed else
where, one quite able to sketch in the
boldest most rapid style may prefer to
go on and produce a picture, trusting
to the inspiration of the present rather
than of the future, and to vision rather
than memory. If something greater is
to be subsequently developed from the
work, it will be no less suggestive be-
cause of its finished character.
1t may not be easy to define the divid-
ing line between artists and amateurs,
but it is easy to point out we'll recog-
nized one that is identical with 1.-THE
one that is drawn between poets and
mere writers of erse.-Art Amateur.
