A ROYAL Critics BIunder.

4 strange story, illustrating the dan
gers of too frank artistic criticism on
the part of royalty, is told by the Copen-
hagen journals. King Oscar of Sweden,
who is not in the best odor in the Nor
wegian capital just at present, recently
visited the annual art exhibition in
Christiania, accompanied by the crown
prince. The visitors were conducted
through the galleries by Mr.. Holmboe.
a member of the committee and him
self painter. On pausing before GER
tain canvas the crown prince remarked
that it was fearful" composition.
The king, after STOPPING to discover the
artists name, presently calculated with
a smile: "Why, the man must be mad!"
The picture was by Holmboe himself,
but neither of the royal visitors was
aware that 1t was he who was showing
them round. The artist felt much of
Tended, and afterwards declared that he
intended to demand an apology. He
was prevailed on by the kings adju-
tants, however, to say nothing, IN or
der not to embarrass his royal critics.
The sequel is reported to have taken
place at banquet given in connection
with the Norwegian Artists associa
ton, held on the same evening, when
the president announced, amidst ap-
plause, that instead of proposing King
Oscars health as usual he would give
that of Mr.. boe-Westminster Ga

Where the woodland shadows dim
Are stretching far and wide,
Under leaves Of rusty brown
The dainty Mayfiowers hide.
Naples. in a rosy flush.
Are waking from their dreams.
Silver bright beyond the hill
The winding river CLEANS;
But shyly hidden from the sight
Beneath the moss and leaves.
The loveliest blossom Of the woods
Her fairy magic weaves.
Downy catkins touched with gold
Each willow tree uplifts,
Through the air like shining dust
The amber pollen drifts.
Lazily the yellow bees
Are humming in the sun,
Gayly down their pepbly paths
The little streamlets run;
But hidden from the careless eye.
AS love alone can tell.
The daintiest blossom of the spring
Has wrought her magic spell.
Pinker than the pink wild rose
In summers golden light:
Rosy as a sunset cloud
Before the fall of night;
AS holy as the poets thought,
For words too pure and high;
AS fair as dreams of days 10 come,
AS dear as days gone by;
AS fragrant as a wandering breath
From heaye emily worlds above
The loveliest blossom God has made
Is breathing out His love.

A Lighted Gun.

The shades of night are no longer n
protection to game from the powers Of
the sportsman. An English nimrod has
invented luminous sight for use in a
bad light. j tiny incandescent lamp,
fed from single storage battery con-
cealed In the gun stock, is mounted
within d shield at the muzzle of the
gun, and a faint ray of light calculated
to indicate the position of its source is
exposed in the direction of the shooters
eve, and this is sufficient to enable him
to obtain the required alignment with
the back sight and with the target, be
it animate or inanimate. The special
application of the sight is for game
shooting at night and for naval serT-
ice, such, for instance, as the illumiDn-
tion of a machine gun used against tor
pedo attacks during the night. For the
latter purpose 1t has been adopted in the
English navy.-N. Y. Journal.

Origin of NJ usIc.

The origin of music is lost in the
twilight of tradition. In Holy Scripture
Jubal is mentioned as the father of mu-
sicians (see Gen. 4: 2D, and the Greeks
and Romans both gave NEUROLOGICAL ac-
counts of its invention. To come to
later times, musical notes are said to
have been invented by Guido Aretino, a
Benedictine monk of Arezzo, in Italy, in
A. d. 1025.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Courtroom Impudence.

There are some men whom it is dam
gerous to deal with in any but the most
sober fashion. Such a man must have
been old Tom Logon, an Oregon lawyer,
and an inveterate wag.
One day Logan was arguing case
before Chief Justice Greene, of the su-
preme court, of what was then the
territory of Washington. Opposed to
him was a bacllwoods lawyer named
Browne. Logan continually referred
TO the counsel on the other side as if his
name were spelled "Browny," to the
evident annoyance of that gentleman.
At last the judge interfered, remark
ing:
"Mr. Logan, this gentleman's name is
spelled Browne, and is pronounced
Brown. not Browny. Now, my name Is
spelled Greene, but you would not
pronounce it Greeny, would you?"
That" replied Logan, gravely, but
with merry twinkle in his eye, "de.
pends entirely on how your honor de-
cides this case"-Northwes Magazine

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April with only
five districts in the State to hear from at
midnight Governor Lippitt is reelected by
plurality of over ten thousand. The total
vote. with five missing districts, is as fol-
lows: For Governor-Lippitt, Rep, 25.1l5;
Littlefeld, DEM. 1858; Lippitt's plurality.
9.477. Last year Governor Lippitt carried the
State by 1o,721. and his plurality this year
will be about the same figures. The Demo-
Gratis acknowledge that the election is a
clean sweep for the Republicans, as they
have lost Cumberland In the Assembly fight,
and the Republicans carry Providence. Ii
cense won in this city, Pawtucket, Central
Falls and woonsocket. The Democrats still
have three members in the Assembly, less
of five over last year.
Election day proved an ideal one for the
voter, and throughout the State the indica-
tions are those of very heavy vote. A
strange feature has been the disappearance
have been entirely on local issues. Contests
over the Assemblymen were closely fought
in Johnston, Cumberland, Westerly, Grams
ton and Central Falls. Early tonight the
Republican State committee predicted that
its victory would be larger than that of last
year. In the face Of early returns the Demo-
Gratis had lost one of their two Senators.
and had also lost two Representatives out Of
the Ave from Cumberland and another from
North Smithfeld. The estimate of heavy
vote is based on the fact that ten towns
show an increase of four hundred votes over
last year, and in Cranston. out of 1850 reg
istered voters, over /, 400 were polled.

THE RErUDL1cAN RACE.
MIR. Depew Talks About Antc-Conven-
tfOn Sprlnters.

DELMoNTE, Cal. April 1.-Chauncey NJ
Depev was interviewed to-day regarding a
canvass made by the San Francisco Exam
iner of the prominent Republicans of Cali
fornia, which apparently showed the senti-
ment of the State to be overwhelmingly in
favor of Mckinley. Let me see," he said,
"this is the 1st of April. The Republican ma
tional convention does not meet until June
16. Now, there is such a thing as a man
running so fast as to be out Of breath when
the time comes to jump. Mckinley is a good
man. and / have no doubt but what he will
have the largest number of votes on the first
ballot. Blaine had the same at Cincinnati
in 1876. and it almost broke my heart when
he failed to get the nomination in place of
Hayes, the dark horse. Grant had the same
at Chicago in 1880, and yet the Blaine people
nominated Mr.. Garfield. If Ii turns out that
Mckinley on the second ballot does not
carry the convention by storm the followers
of the other candidates are likely to agree on
some one who will get the nomination. New
York will be loyal TO Mr.. Morton. l am a
delegate at large to the convention, and all of
us will try and make him the nominee as the
best available man."
1t was suggested to Mr.. Depew that he
himself might become formidable dark
horse. NO." he replied. II do not think so.
In fact, such a thing is impossible. 1 am bet
ever. that 1 do not consider the fact of being
a railroad man any detriment in such con-
test. There is no prejudice against railroads
in. the East now, and / think have some
thing to do with the change. In New York
to-day it is rather to thc advantage OF
man to be a railroad employe when he gets
into politics. He does not lose thereby in
public favor, and receives the united vote OF
the railroad people in addition to the usual
VOTE"
