An Editor.s lament.

News, news, news! It's enough to
give man the blues. Nobody married
and nobody dead; nobody broken an
arm or a head; nobody come in to talk
Of the crap" no one got booty and
started scrap; no one got ruin in for
taking horn; nobody buried and no
body born. Oh! for racket, riot, a
fuss! Some one to come in and kick
up muss; some one to stir up the
peace-laden air: somebody's comment
to give us scare. Somebody thumped
within an inch Of his life; somebody
run off with another mans wife; some
one come in and pay Dip his dues; any
thing, anything, just SO it's news.-Co-

Charleston Negro iwtit has ii Natural
Genius for Modelling

/ ..
Charleston possesses d wonderful
sculptural prodigy in the person Of
George r. Devane Devane is an engi-
neer by trade and worked formerly at
Gregg's mines, but is not now employed
there, says the News and Courier. This
naturally gives him more time to de-
vote to his art, which, If crude, shows
undoubted signs of talent. His special
ties are carvings on sticks, and while
these would hardly be carried by the
ultra well-dressed man, they are eX-
ceedingly interesting and ingenious,
and in some instances pretty. Deyane
also cafyes ON horns These are really
lovely, except when disflgured by sem
fences explaining the sculptured fig
ures. The designs are varied--on the
sticks alligators, snakes, lizards, frogs
and all sorts of little beasts that creep
and crawl in most lifelike attitudes. The
carving on the horns, however, is all
copied from pictures. and when the pic
ture copied has been one of Flaxman's
drawings, which Devane has in a His
tory of Josephus," the effect is beauti-
full. The trouble is tina being absolute
ly uneducated and illtterate he does not
display great taste in the selection or
his models nor has he sense Of the
eternal fitness of things. King Darius

Devane sent number Of his sticks
to the Chicago exposition, where they
attracted the attention of Fred Doug
lass, who wrote him letter of COM
mendation and asked him to go on to
the fair This he was unable to do for
lack Of funds. After the fair was over,
however, some of his sticks were sold
by Mr.. Douglass for him for SIS apiece.
Mrs. Andrew Simonds has engaged De-
vane to sculpture several horns and
sticks for the Charleston room. The
carving is all done with an old pen
knife, which originally cost 10 cents.
Devane has complete set OF carving
tools, but says he can do nothing with
them at all, If he could be taught in
some way and shown some of the beau
tiful ivory carvings of the east. his ideas
being raised, 1t is probable that ne
might become an adept in the art. As
it is his work is both interesting and
unique and in many instances exceed
ingly pretty and quaint. Devane is go
ing to the Atlanta exposition and ex-
poets to coin money there.
