CARlcATURE cULLINas.

/ In the seventeenth century religion
was the chief theme of the caricatures.
Other themes were the reformation
and Louis XIV.
| A WALL in Roman street, which
was closed up about 100 A. D., when
discovered in 1857 was found scratched
all over with rude caricatures. One

The South sea bubble produced carl
catures galore. The only woman artist
in this line was Mrs. Trollope, whose
volume on American domestic manners
in 1882 created u sensation.
The ancients enjoyed cartoons just
as we do and polscd satirical fun at
each other by pictures. The walls OF
lPompeii when dug up were covered in
many cases with chalk cartoons of local
happenings and with scenes from comic
plays.
CARIcATURE Is a universal practice
among the Chinese and Japanese, but
owing to their crude taste and lack OF
perspective their efforts are not inter
esting to outsiders. The Greeks, strange
to say, when they wanted to indulge
in caricature chose their gods as sub
jects
THAT the Egyptians were good
natured set and fond of wine may be
learned from the caricatures they left.

THE FAvoRIrE PAPER.

There's n little country paper that
love to sit and read,
a paper poorly printed and behind the
times, indeed:
With its pages small and narrow and
the ink inclined To spread,
And here and there II letter standing
gravely on its head.
Or caps, u big erratic, boldly popping
into view
In unexpected places and knocking
things askew,
A real old fashioned paper from my
native little town,
Each week 1 hail its coming and
never put it down
Till I've read its every column, al
the local news, you know,
About the dear old folks | lived with
long ago;
| note whose barn is painted, whose
cattle took the prize,
And how Uriah Potts has raised q
squash of wondrous size.
How Farmer Martins daughter takes
the school another year
AT this | pause and smile bit and
feel o trifle queer,
Remembering how, in bygonc days,
when life seemed made of mirth,
/ thought this schoolma'am's mother
was the sweetest thing on earth.
And now and then, perchance, l read
that one l knew is dead,
Or find again some boyhood chum the
second time has wed.
And so it goes, and none can know
what memories, sad and sweet,
Come back to me whene'er read this
homely little sheet.

Marietta, o., April 3-Two days ago
your correspondent became owner of
the fact that D. o. FYagg, of the
firm of Little & Flagg, had mysteri-
ously disappeared. For good reasons
your correspondent has said nothing,
awaiting developments. 1t is known
that on Monday he went to the bank
and made the deposit for his firm, and
then crossed the Ohio river to Will
Jamestown. Here all trace of him is
lost, although it is supposed he board
ed one of the o. R. railway trains.
His accounts with his firm and his
father-in-law, eX-Sheriff A. B. Little,
are straight. His habits were sup
posed to be good. He was not known
to be drinking man. His name mas
been connected with a widow and her
16-year-old daughter in an unenyiable
way, but there seems to be little
grounds for this. Flagg leaves an in
teresting family consisting of a wife
and two small children. The deserted
wife is almost heart-broken. His do
meStic relations have been very happy
and there seems to be no reason for
his sudden disappearance. He IS
about five feet ten inches tall, weighs
about 1S5 pounds, sandy complexion
ed. stubby, reddish mustache and a
quickly grown beard. He wore suit
of brown corduroy.

Columbus, o., April 3.-A resolution
to aid the Pittsburg miners now on a
strike created a warm discussion in
the convention of Ohio miners to-day.
1t showed that the sentiment of the
convention was that the Ohio miners
ought to begin to look for themselves.
The statement was made and applaud
ed that Ohio miners had lost too much
in the support of strikers in other
States with little reciprocation. Fin
ally a telegram was sent to President
John Cairns, of the Pittsburg miners,
urging them to keep up the fight and
not recede from the demands made,
and rendering aid The speeches
made, however, showed that if a re-
duction in wages should be allowed at
Pittsburg, a corresponding reduction
would be made in Ohio The diiferen-
tial existing would be maintained
During the discussion, Cameron Mil
ler who has just come from Pittsburg,
was asked what hope there was for vic
tory 10 the miners at PittsbuTg. He
said he thought there was but little
hope.
The constitution was amended so as
to recognize the Independent Knights
of Labor. 1t now seems probable that
the convention will decide not to
withdraw from the national organiza-
tion, but it will show very independ-
ent spirit, however. The miners of
the Pittsburg, Wheeling and Lake
Erie Company complain that they
were not permitted to take out coal
already mined, the company shutting
down suddenly and arbitrarily. 1t
went to the Grievance Committee.
A resolution was adopted recon-
mending a conference of the national
executive officers with the controlling
board of the Ohio coal pool with a view
10 preventing strikes.
