IN LONOON,S SLUMS.
A Rather Rough Experience That Taught
 an Artist Lesson.

An artist who is well known in a northern city used occasionally to put on his shabbiest clothes and penetrate to the slums in search of inspiration for bis brush. On one of these excursions he stopped to watch the efforts of a rag ged urchin who was disfguring the pavement of a squalid street with a piece of soft blue stone, and, although the figures which the lad drew were grotesque, the artist was struck with their originality and began to take an interest in their development.
 That's right, my boy! Make your lines clear and never mind the details Champion What You don t know how to sketch that old mans head2 Then give mo the chalk. I'll show you.
 The next moment the enthusiastic artist was cn his knees, and with the piece of stone had quickly drawn Q clever picture. Before he could com. mence another sketch, however, he felt a stunning blow on tho head, and a shrill female voice cried:
 'Tubo yer bloomin hook, ye great, good for nought huikl What q 'ye mean by messin up t'6ags at I've just wash ed2 Tain t no wonder at t kids do it when a sense3ess old idiot Iikeyerself sets lem t'example Bo off, or I'll SCOUT t'payement wi yer ugly carcass.
 The artist hurriedly dodged another boot, sprang to his feet, and without waiting to argue the matter, sneaked ignominiously off. He vows that he will mind his own business when next he goes summing. London Telegraph,

THE Democrat bad hoped to see a regiment of colored troops organ izad in Arkansas. The negroes of the State appear anxious to distin- guish themselves as soldiers, aud under the law giving the war de. partment the right to enlist 10000 immunes, we had supposed the southern states would be called on to furnish colored troops or a basis of colored population. In this sup position we appear to have been misled, for the latest information is that only one regiment of eolored troops will be enlisted from three states-Missouri, Tennesse and Arkansas. Missouri has been per mitteJ to flI most Of this regiment, notwithstanding it is north Of the ealored belt, and Arkansas is to be allowed only two companies. The Democrat is reliably informed that nine or ten eolored companies in ditfereat parts of the state have or gaaized and are clamoriag for places. It is claimed that full regiments now in waiting These cotored men ought to be gIv5n a chance Ibe discipline and the general course of army life would do them good If would give them higher appreciation of citizen ship and afford them an opportunity 10 prove their fitness to fight under the Amercan flag.
 The leading colored mer of this city and other points Tn the state appear to be very much in earnest in their desire to organize colored companies, and they should be en- eouraged. Helena, Pine Bluff and several other towns in the state as well as the capital city, should be represented with companies in a eolored regiment of immuues The plan is at present to place white officers over the eolored troops. We believe they should have their own officers as soon jas they have demonstrated their ability to pro- duce men fit to serve in these ca pacities. -Arkansas Denaocrat.

THAT FAMILY CLOSET.
And the Various Kinds of Skeletons Ina.
 Abide Therein.

And the Various Kinds of Skeletons That
 Abide Therein.
 Every family has it's skeleton. We know that, Of course, anatomical speei- mems, neatly put together and stored away in a secure cupboard of which only family members bayo the key-a skeleton key, probably. Only when the family is alone, with no visitors about. does it go to the door cautiously and unlock it and bring the bony occupant forth. The family knows it's own skele. ton, but outsiders are supposed to be in total ignorance of its existence, and # they are wiser than people think them and of course they always aGe-it is only point of politeness 10 pretend to pc blind and deaf.
 Of how many kinds are family skele- tons? The Joneses possessed an uncle who died insane. You can t go near the Jones cupboard or, in other words. even hint at the subject of hereditary insanity in their presence, without the skeleton audibly knocking it's bones to- get6er a"d al the Jcneses tgr2z;s2ss;; 2; =I5sssle. You can mention Turkish bonds to the Browns without their jaws suddenly falling you can think why. And when drink statistics form the cheerful sub ject of conversation at the RgbiHsens' table you observe with wonder that all the family grow uncomfortable and writho in their chairs. You haven tho faintest notion why, but the skeleton has.
 ] met q man once at @ dinner party who was perfectly sane uPon ave-y point on earth but one, and on that ha was the opposite. He could talk about politics, science. art. Shakespeare and the musical glasses, but if by any chance the conversation tauehed on dueling he went straight 1a his head then and there.
 DueIiue was the skeleton in his cup board, and the rasson was cne that can n0t ba enlarged upon here On one day in every year 70 shut himself up in his house and vas not seen by mortal eye. That was tho one day when his skele- ton came out and stalEed about.
 Many people have what seems to the general public q harmless enough sHeIe- ton, but it is real and ghastIy to them selves. It is of humble origin. Itis SUI prising the pains people will take to conceal that their grandfathers were poor, but honest. the lies they will tell (Which only proves that the grandpar- ents qualities have not descended in the direct line1 and the meannesses they will indulge in, in the pitiable effort to hide the fact that two generations ago they kept a small greengrocer' shop or wore plush and powder After all, the longer the line the more certain it is to contain ancestors who won their bread by the sweat of tbeir face.

SAINT PATRICk'S DAY.
COM MUNICATED.

COMMUNICATED.
"Wonderful is God in His Saints"
in His faithful servants. On no Occas-
ion, probably, are these scriptural words
more appropriate than on the festival
of to-day. The feast of Ireland's great
apostle, St. Patrick, year after year, SO
enthusiastically celebrated throughout
the entire universe, by the devoted
children of Erin noble nation. Crowds
throughout the whole christian worlo,
''from the rising of the Sun to the set
ting thereof" gather around Gods al
tars, to pay a tribute of love. and praise
and honor to Catholic hero, who was
set up before the Christendom and hu-
manity, at large, as a perfect ideal of
Christ's teachings and of the beauty of
the Faith, And FIVE don the simmer
ing green, the immortal shamrock ent-
wined with the harmonious strings OF
the harp of the Emerald Isle, it is to
indicate our untiring, undying affect
ion for the Faith inspired by thoughts
and memories of the great Apostle,
from the shores of beautiful France.
The Feast of St. Patrick is one of the
most celebrated of the Church's festi-
walls, excepting those connected with
the Incarnation and those of the I'm
maculte Virgin Mother of God. St.
Patrick is the glorious conqueror and
ofo Of 1lx,
admirable mission for the spreading of
the true faith; of a nation, not politi-
cally in the front rank, but which
though circumscribed in it's dealings
with neighboring countries heroically
keeps it's faith, it's place and commands
the respect of the Universe by it's re-
ligion, patriotism, purity and all other
christian virtues.
Yes God is wonderful in His Saints
and in His works. The green little isle
the gem of the sea, since it received
the true Faith from St. Patrick, though
crushed and tyranized, trampled upon
and robbed of her rights by English
Orange brutality, yet kept the faith of
Christ preached, on it's every hill and in
its every dale by the great Apostle yet
maintained grand and glorious front
for God and his church, and justly
boasts Of her noble sons and daughter
scattered throughout America, Austria
liza and the uttermost parts of the earth,
all joyfully and gratefully celebrating
ST. Patrick's day.
In the annals of the world Ireland
stands unique among the nations. Not
one tear was shed, mot one drop OF
blood spilled, in bringing her people to
Christianity. The soil was ready: the
Irish were naturally virtuous almost
supernatural people. st. Patrick t
triumph was simply marvellous; and in
his own lifetime faith and virtue bios.
somed and fructifed, churches, schools,
monasteries and cloistcrs rapidly multi
piled and religion transformed the
island into a second garden of Para
dise-'.the isle of saints and scholars. .
Tradition tells us that St. Patrick
dying asked one special favor from God
for his people: that they may always
keep the faith" His prayer was
heard

have such changes in the bill, as
1t gives an appearance OF uncer-
tainty as to the knowledge of the
department, but as the bills are all
owing we recommend that the
revised items pass.
CLAIMS OF LEE MING a co. AND v.
o. TEIxEIRA.
This item is made up of two
claims made upon the Board of
Health growing out of action tax
en- during the cholera epidemic Of
1895. We feel that the Board OF
Health was justified 10 it's action
but also that under the circum-
stances there is just claim upon
the Government. Demands were
made upon the Government for
much larger amounts but this WAS
a compromise offer to be paid in
case the Legislature should appro.
pirate the money. We recon
mend that the items pass at $3.50
TO meet claim OF Lee Ming ~ Co.
and $3.50 to meet claim Of V. O.
Teixe!re.
1t seems unfortunate TO your
Committee that the items of Incl
dentals and Unpaid Bills in the
various Departments should be as
large as they are because il makes
the appropriation Of moneys by
the Legislature to appear like a
farce, il after the appropriations
run out a free hand is used in the
mourning of bills and then the
Legislature is asked to further
appropriate moneys to meet them.
When bills are incurred there is
little left for the Legislature but to
appropriate the money to pay
them, but some action limit
ing such procedure even to
the extent of making large
appropriations, il necessary,
would seem preferable to
the present system.
