The English Municipal Service.

Compared with other professions in
England, the municipal service is on the
whole fairly we'll paid. Salaries of town
clerks range from $500 in towns of a
population of 10000 to 1850 paid by
Manchester. which has a population of
900, 900, while municipal engineers are
paid all the way up from e2O0 in towns
OF 20, 900 to 81 200 year paid by each
OF the municipalities of Manchester,
Liverpool and Newcastle.
For these salaries the councils usually
demand all the time of their servants.
A lawyer or an engineer may do better
as private practitioner, but in the
municipal service he is sure of his posi-
ton and his pay, and it will be his own
fault it he has not so organized his office
and trained assistants that he can hold
on to his position we'll on into an old
age. Advancing years may tell against
man for appointment to municipal
office, but old age is seldom made the
excuse for getting rid of town clerk or
municipal engineer. Most Of them die
in harness, drawing full pay.
The subordinate clerkships under the
municipalities are not much better paid
than clerkships in law and mercantile
offices. The reason why these positions
are priced is that in such position a
man regards himself as placed for life
and is consequently in the enjoyment of
that feeling Of settlement and that alb
sence Of worry as to the future which
are so dear to middle class Englishmen.
Excellent men of their class hold these
positions. Their abilities and their re-
spectability would bring them the same
salaries elsewhere, minus only the fix;ty
of tenure which attaches to all grades
of the municipal service. These subor-
dinates, like their superiors in the paid
municipal service, vote at all elections
like other citizens. They never attempt
to conceal how they vote, but the recur-
ring elections give rise to no pleasurable
expectations or disturbing appreb ensions
OF any kind on their part. They are new
er active in the municipal campaigns
and would as soon expect to encounter
highwayman in the town as a collect
or seeking contributions to a campaign
fund.-Harper's Weekly.

Florence, says writer to Truth Lon,
DOM. There may be i'll hammered per-
SONS there, but never saw one. Poor
people behave with the suave dignity
which used in England to stamp the !
ladyxor gentleman. Most persons are
brainy, but cleverness is. not eager to
shine. 1t is very suhdued and more oily
than corrosive. The charm of Florence
stealspn one like the wit Gf its clever
inhabitants. The senses are soothed in
sall directions by harmonious manners
and objects. Architects understood CHI
aroscuro not less than the great painters
and sculptors. One neverwearies Of the
streets and public buildings. Their as
poets constantly and strongly vary, ac-
cording to the course of the sun. Lights
and shades at 10 in the forenoon are
wholly different from what they will
he at 4 in the afternoon. The Floren-
tine women have interesting though not
beautiful faces But one has only to
walk into the market to see country
girls who would have done for models
dor Raphael's Virgin mothers. One is
struck in the galleries with the nice
Judgment with which the pictures are
hung What more lofty in sentiment
than the tomb of Lorenzo de- Medici?
Loftiness is an attribute Of Florentine
architecture, palatial or domestic The
doors of private houses might pass in
England for portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.
Talking of harmonious things re-
minds me of the Boboli gardens Is
there spot in England, the land of
stately and lovely seats, that at all ap-
proaches them? In situation and tran
quill, generous loneliness l can only
think Of one-the Duke of Northumber-
lands terraced gardens at his place in
Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the
Prince and Princess of Naples still court
seclusion, has the advantage over the
Surrey paradise Of being under reveal
ing sky. Every shade of greenery, every
floral hue, is we'll brought out. One sees
the faultless texture of statues and
fountains mellowed by time. In SO
strong a light we'll ordered design is
required, and one has it. The marbles
are the climax. They are to the horti-
cultural beauties as brilliants to the
lace and satin of fine woman's dress.
Florence is not what it was in the
grand ducal days. Still, it retains the
air Of capital with long and illus.
trious history. The ladies' dresses are
only provincial when measured by the
Paris standard, to which Italian wom-
en- above the peasant class generally
submit-more's the pity: Paris fashions
only suit Frenchwomen, unless applied
by French hairdressers and femmes de !
chambre. An English or German face
under a Paris hat or bonnet is at a
dreadful disadvantage if the hair has
not been first dressed by French art
iste capillaire. He places the hat,
through the medium of the hair, in
harmonious relation with the face. I !
fancy these French coiffeurs are not |
much employed by Italian ladies. |

A PRESIDENTS RECEPTION
An Incident Sof a Trip to Washington
Many Years Ago. II.

An Incident srof Trip to Washington
Many Years Ago. , :. -
An old timer was in a reminiscent
mood after a;trip to Washington, and
among other: things recited the follow
ing incident, which. could possibly occur
In no other country on the globe, and
which seems to show the fervor OF a
most fervid race and gives an,insight
into President Andrew Johnson's char
acter as a. man such as could not be
found in dozen histories of the man
who held every elective office in the
power of our sovereign people, from con-
stable of Columbia, Tenn, to president
Of the United States:
ut was just following the impeach-
ment trial." said. the narrator, "when
Mr.. johnson was making his grand tour
OF the country. His party put up at the
Spencer House, which was then q swell
hotel. When the presidential party were
'eaving the Spencer, the carriages were
driven from the hotel entrance across to
the east side of Broadway, and it
CHANGED that the one in which Mr.. John
son and Secretary Stanton were seated
pulled up in front of genial Ed GUM
toms railroad hotel, then at Front and
Broadway, but now, like poor Ed, no
more.
"At that time an old Irishman named
Kennedy, nicknamed the Democrat,
was employed as houseman at Quinton's,
and CHANGED to be standing at the front
door with the youth who was at once
clerk and bookkeeper of che railroad.
'Wurra, who's the little fat fellow
they're all shakin hands wut?' asked
old Kennedy Of the clerk.
President Andy Johnson, was the
reply.

"Taking off his battered old hat and
producing from it a yard square red
handkerchief, with which be mopped his
face and wiped his hands, he approach

an open one. When there, he placed his
hat firmly between his knees, spat on
his hands, extended the right and ex-

Wisha, how are ye, Andy, my da-

1T is needless to say the party did
not drink, but as the carriage started
Mr.. johnson, turning to Mr.. Stanton,
said:

heartfelt reception I ever met with. -

Blue White Prints.

Paper coated with an emulsion, which
when printed and toned gives clear
white with blush tint in the high
lights, may be bought Of dealers in pho
tographic materials The paper is
marked 'Pense." which is a mistake,
as the correct spelling is "pensee.''
This blue tone may be obtained on arts
to paper by toning the prints in sepa-
rate bath and putting few drops of
aniline blue in the fixing bath. Have
the tint rather deep, and when the
prints are fixed the whites and high
lights will have clear blue tone. #
the picture is a landscape with plenty
of clouds in the sky the effect is almost
as if the sky had been tinted.
Many spots both on prints and mega
tives are due to the dishes used not hay
ing been properly cleansed. The trays
should be wiped out with very soft
cloth or sponge, and once in while
washed with little alcohol.
A set of labels printed with the
names of the different chemicals com
monty in use in the dark room may be
had for 10 cents. They come already
gummed and are great convenience.
A convenient little plate LITTER is
called the ''L." It is tiny continuance
which fits on the side of the tray and
saves all danger of scratching the plate
in removing it from the tray, and there
is no need of putting the fingers into
any of the solutions if the ''L'' is used.
With this litter. instead of rocking the
tray during development, the plate is
rocked with the litter. Harper's Round

THE EFAR,

Chicago had her great Worlds Fair, Atlanta had her Exposition, Tennessee her Centennial, and Pine Bluff has her great Fair. In proportion as Pine Bluff is in point of population to Chicago, Atlanta and Nashville, so does the Jefferson County Fair stand relatively to the Worlds Fair, the Exposition and the Centennial. There can be no mistaking the fact that the exhibits at the Fair grounds are credit to Pine Bluff, and superior to anything of the kind ever witnessed in this State. Floral Hall, alone, is an eX- position. The displays therein of relics, art, needle.work, bric-a-brae, etc, are highly creditable to the skill, industry and aesthetic tastes and talents of this people. A whole day can be proftably spent in this department alone. The exhibits will bear the closest scrutiny, and the moro careful and painstaking the examination the fuller of mean ing will be the reward. A partial list of the artistic exhibits will be found elsewhere in these columns, but the most interesting and in- structive part of the display will be found on the second floor, which will be treated of tomorrow. On this floor will be found rare specimens Of art, superior to which none can be found outside of a metropolitan art gallery, while the relics, fancy work and bric.a-brac possesses a pleasing interest.
 The poultry and live stock exhib- It's are also of exceptional interest, and portray the progress Of Arkan- sas along these lines.
 The races daily are of a high order and thrilling interest, and altogeth- CT there is quite enough at the park to interest one for a week.

GHTTDRFN1S DAT.

Today rFridayl is Children's Day at the Park and the city schools will suspend for the day in order that the children may participate in the festivities and witness the eX. hibits at the Fair grounds. All the students of the public schools who accompany their teachers will be ad- mitted free on this occasion. But it is imperative that the scholars shall accompany their teachers, who will vouch for them at the gates, otherwise they will not be admitted without the payment of the regular price of admission.
 The school children will form into a line of march at their respective departments at o'clock this morn ing and then proceed in body to the Fair grounds. The children will be accompanied to the Park by their teachers, but after arriving on the grounds will be turned over to their parents.
 As there are 2,70O students en- rolled in the free schools Of the city, the attendance today promises to be immense.
 Go out to the Fair grounds and sec the children enjoy them selves.

THE LAST DAY.

Today is the last day of the Fair and those who have not yet wit messed the exhibits and displays should avail themselves of the last opportunity to do so today. Though the closing day of the Fair, a most interesting program has been ar ranged as a fitting faale to the event, and those who go out to the park today will find plenty to enter tain and amuse them.
 There have been great many visitors from the towns and country surrounding us, and there has been a very liberal attendance on the part of citizens, nevertheless there are many who have not yet laid eyes upon the greatest Fair ever held in the State. The GRAPHIC would earnestly recommend that every Pine Bluflian attend the Fair, for the displays and exhibits there should be a source of pride and grat- ification to every Arkansan. It will cause every citizen to more fully ap. preciate his city, county and State, and demonstrate unmistakably the fact that Arkansas and Jefferson county are in the vanguard of the Southern States in all that com tribute to the intellectual advance ment, material prosperity and do- nestle happiness of Q people. We would especially direct the attention of the people to Floral Hall. The exhibit there is a revelation of the art, science, education and industry of this people. The fine arts depart- ment is especially deserving of close inspection, for finer collec- ton Of art cannot be found outside of metropolitan art gallery. The poultry department is also an exhib- it that is revelation. and must be seen to be fully appreciated. The races today will also be of an inter- esting character, and no Pine Bluff ian eau give a plausible excuse for 3

The Fair has already progressed far enough to declare it an emphatic success from every standpoint. To this end the officers and members of the Fair Association have worked earnestly for the past five months. They have neglected their private interests and devoted their time and attention, without money aud with out price, to make the occasion a success. That their efforts have been crowned with success should be a source of pride to every Pine Blufian. But every citizen should lend bis presence and patronage to the occasion. Tho event has brought hundreds of visitors and thousands of dollars to our city, and the enter. prise is entitled to the patronage of Pine Blufilans. Therefore, let none fail to see it. It will give them q better idea of the artistic, educa- tional and material resources of their city, so they can the more intelli- gently acquaint others with what we have, and our possibilities for the future. This much every Pine Blufian should know, and it cannot all be known without Q visit to the Fair.
 Therefore, avail yourself of the last day to see this exposition.
