bic Slab Among the ancients the
diamond was a symbol of severe and
lLeXt rable justice and of the impas-
stability OF fate. Hence the judges of
Hades were described as having hearts
of adamant. A Jewish legland relates
of the gem, supposed to have been
diamond, worn on the ephod of Aaron,
that when man really guilty was
charged with crime the jewel be-
came dark and dim. If the accused
was innocent it sparkled with in
creased luster. But all these wonder
full virtues are eclipsed and thrown in
the shade by one most marvellous and
uniQue-for it was attributed to no

SATAN IN ART.
How the Devil Has Been Treated by
theGreat Ancient Painters.

/ shall net in this article deal with
the fantastic, grinning and misshapen
monsters, whose quaint and curious
conceptions which give life to our
medieval architecture, look at US out
OF early stained glass and people the
pages of manuscripts and early print
ed books. The northern genius readi-
~ grasped the grotesque decorative
and humorous possibilities OF a fan
tastic demon and his imps, and, as |
have suggested in my first article, art
had something to do with the degrada-
ton OF the conception of the evil one
that ensued. The devil became a
rogue, a droll hobgoblin akin to the
northern loki, playing awkward tricks
upon human kind-reddening the nose
and cracking the lips Of Abbot Richal-
mus-terrible, indeed, at times, but
often deluded and befooled. There
came a time when it was possible for
st. Guthlac, at Crowland, disturbed by
horrid bowling without, as of Brit
ons coming to destroy him, to feel
comfort in discovering that they were
..CEly devils" In the pictorial art
of lower Germany and Flanders the
devil generally took strange, fantastic
and often obscene forms. Martin
Colmar and Mulhausen, has an extra
ordinary Descent Into Limbo" in
which our Lord tramples upon hide

legs, the claws of an exaggerated bird

out from his obscure body. Lucas Van

The first phase of the tariff in the
senate made it's appearance in a SEN
ate resolution by Mr.. Allen (Neb.). de-

laid so as to enrich one class at the
expense of the masses. It went over
until tomorrow. Mr.. Hoar, from the
Judiciary committee, reported favor
ably the bill to prevent kinetcscope
exhibitions Of prize fights in The Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories
and to prohibit the shipping of
material for the exhibition. Mr. Nor

Washington, D. c., March %
I his was by far the most exciting day

throughout were of a lively order and
several times bordered on the sensa-

ceedings in the first instance by de-
handing the presence Of a quorum
before allowing any legislature work.

Cured which necessitated the sum-
moning Of Speaker Reed from his

ed an exceedingly vigorous protest
against the irrelevant discussions
with which the time of the house was
being taken up, and after Mr.. Sher-
man On. ", who was in the chair,
had ruled him out of order, he con-
tinued to protest. Then the chair
ordered him to take his seat Twenty
times the irate Indianian was admon-
ished to take his seat, but he only
did so when Reed came upon the
scene. Several minor amendments
to the tariff bill were adopted.
