lhe late J. Hammond T.umDull,
LID, long the librarian of the Wat
kinson library at Hartford Conn, was
deeply interested in Oriental archaeol-
ogy, and some twenty or thirty years
ago made visit to Egypt. Preparing
for the visit, lie took up the study Of
the hieroglyphics and found no diff

kings. On one occasion nniie on the da-
Fhabiyeh he was accost'd Gy native
dealer in antiquities Nss wished to
sell him scarabs.s He shook his head
and intimated that they were forgeries.
The man loudly protested that they
were genuine. Thereupon DR.. Trum-
bull took a scarab out of his pocket,
showed it to the man and asked him il
that was genuine. He looked at it and
said, Certainly"

bull.
"Why not?" said the man.
Because whitfield it out myself yes

The dealer was greatly delighted.
He felt that he had met with worthy

So we'll cid he fulfill the promise he early de-
Eeloped that before leaving the academy he
was an acknowledged master in the art.
He continued his career without attracting
any particular attention for some time, serv-
ing as Instructor in the Clark university. The
exhibition Of his painting, "The Bagpipe Les
son" at the Academy of the Fine Arts was his
first important painting. The scene repre-
| sents pleasant outdoor picture, with an old
musician initiating an ambitious youth into
the art of manipulating the bag of wind
While on visit down South he sketched an
old negro character which he afterward trans
ferred to canvas and named "The Banjo
Lesson" The former picture is now exhibited
at the Philadelphia store of John Wanamaker,
and the latter is owned by the Hampton in
stitute of West Virginia.
About four years ago he decided to take up
his residence in Paris, where there is no os-
tracism on account of color. Under the guild
! anCe of Constant, the great master, he rapidly
| developed the art and his first exhibit in the
salon was "The Sabot- Maker which was
afterward exhibited in the Philadelphia Acad
of the Fine Arts. His picture in the salon OF
! 1895 was Daniel in the Lions Den,' which
| gained for the painter honorable mention.
Last winter it attracted considerable atten-
ton at the annual exhibition OF fine arts, and
| many will remember the strikingly original
conception of the familiar incident in the life
| of the Jewish prophet the execution Of which
! was both forcible and powerful. With the
instincts of early religious training he again
turned to the scriptures for subject for this
ye ar's exhibition and selected ''The Raising OF
l Lazarus which gave him ample scope for
his versatility, Imagination. and forciblc &C Z

garments button toward the right side
and women's garments usually button
toward the left side. This custom
dates back to the time when citizens
were compelled to go about armed.
When lady took a gentleman's arm
she usually walked on his left sidej
thus leaving his right arm free to use
his sword to defend her. Her left arm
was thus at liberty and her garments
buttoned from the side opposite from
that of the gentleman's in order to
suit it.

During this month two events occur
red in the United States that were looked
forward to with great interest. one was
the Inauguration of the President of the
United States and the other was prize
hght. The one on the 4th inst. was
an important event and the other was
display of the brutal powers of two men.
Some of the newspapers of the country
made as much ado about the latter as
they did about the inauguration OF the
President, and many boys to-day are
about as ambitious to be prize fighter
as they are to be president. A few days
before and after the fight even marbles
lost their charms for the small boys of
Reynoldsville, whose minds were filed
with prize fighting, and where three or
four boys could be found playing
marbles equally as many were standing
up throwing their fists at one another,
and some of them went at ID in a rough
and tumble manner. There is nothing
honorable in being prize fighter, 1t Is
really disgraceful business, and II the
press of the country would discOunten-
ance shuch affairs it would only be a
short time until the men who follow
that business would be engaged In
something better. There is certain
fellow living along the line of the Low
Grade Division of the A. V. R'y that
sets himself up as prize fighter, that
certain newspapers make as much fuss
over as If he was engaged In some
laudabe business and held u high
official position In the State or Union.
