How M. Tissot Travelled.

NJ. Tissot followed literally in the very
footsteps of Jesus, though the one who
trod these paths nineteen centuries ago
often walked alone or was followed by
a long line of the lame and suffering,
craving his healing touch, as this modern
follower has frequently depicted him. The
artist was compelled to travel with a
small caravan for the transport of his ma
terials. He had eight beasts of burden,
a drayman, an Englishman and three
native attendants TO care for the ami
mails One donkey carried the canteen-
that is, the stock of provisions, and some
rugs. NJ Tissot himself rode a donkey.
When a halt was made at noon for lunch
con the little caravan drew up in the shade
of the olive trees or fig trees, the dragoman
unpacked the canteen and spread the rugs
on the ground. At night some hut was
found, and there, retiring under a mos
quito bar, spread over the frame of a
huge umbrella NJ. Tissot sought his re-
pose. The days were taken up with paint
ing, sketching and sometimes photograph
ing so as to save time on rainy days
or during the rainy season. Ten years of
constant labor were necessary for the COM
pletion of the several series of pictures
covering all that is known of the activity
of Jesus, and the places Identified with his
life and ministry.
Sensation In Paris and London.
Is It, then, any wonder that Paris, I'M
believing and iconoclastic though it be,
was thoroughly aroused by the exhibition
of these remarkable pictures. In London
the exhibition of the Tissot pictures was
the sensation of the religious and art
worlds alike. Thenewspapers glowed with
praise for the striking and novel sensa-
tons of scriptural scenes, the pulpit rang
with discoufses based upon these paint
ings as a text. No better example of the
methods pursued by this gifted artist can
be given than the New Madonna" as he
has painted her. This is no Italian,
Dutch or French Madonna; this is not
merely a type Of beauty with uplifted
eyes-it is the ancient Hebrew virgin lost
in contemplation of her great mission, the
bearing of Him who was to be the divine
leader Of men-the lamb of the world
In pose, in features, in garb, here is the
daughter of the line of David bearing the
Messiah into a world which needs him.
So it seemed to the artist, and his
thoughts speaks from the eloquent can
vas Had ten years of travel and labor
resulted in this single picture alone, il
would have fully repaid the artist, giving
him the Immortality conferred by a new
and beautiful creation. The grouping and
the background of the picture all help to
make clear the story which 1t Is meant
to illustrate. Yet this Us but one of 500
pictures, all as careful studies of charae-
ter and surroundings.

What the Americans will do with
the Philippines remains to be seen,
says the London Spectator. They can
not govern the innumerable isles, or
even the chief islands, from flagship
and they cannot permanently garrison
them from the Pacific States. Appar-
emily they hope to create a provision
al native government, and with that
view have carried with them the
most trusted of the insurgcnt leaders;
but it is very doubtful II the islands
contain any materials from which to
form local administration. At Tie
same time they must be governed, fol
the Philippines given over to anarchy
would be frlghtfully dangerous der
elict. All Europe might be set to wal
for their possession, with Japan CHM
ing in. The Americans will be almost
compelled to exchange the islands fol
something Of value to them, anc
whether The exchange is made with
Great Britain or France or Russia, the
Jealousies or fears excited will be OF
the most accute character, more espc-
cially as the Japanese greatly desire
the islands, for which they would
readily give up all claims upon Corea.
They are settled there In thousands,
they arc accustomed to the climate,
and the islands would exactly double
the area OF thek Kingdom. The war,
In fact, may deeply affect the tran

THE SONG OF AMERICANS.
by WILLIAM GRIFFITH.

We have sung OF the greatest nations,
We have sung Of the North and South,
We have gathered the spring-time sowing
From the corners OF the earth;
We have garnered the worldwide harvest
And with open hands we lay
At the feet of own republic
Whatever honor may.
At the feet Of our mother people
We place Upright OF birth
And pride in her giant spirit,
such findings nothing worth;
Afd'we watch and we wait and we glory,
Aathcg cgsleiades nightly flee,
Fer the Maze Of her thousand cities
From tlle mountains to the sea-
For tiae gir n OF her far flung prairies,
For the spging mess happy rains;
For the worid-old placid rivers,
For the emr riro Of the plains;
For thebrcadth of her western acres,
For the strong, nc that she bears;
With the OLE lovo lo.ne our mothers
A nd the freedom that was theirs,
For the gray nortlern forests,
For the clear, lone mountain rills;
For the smoke-blue. warden RACES,
For the grandeur of the hills;
For the leugue-long, waving meadows,
OF the southern blossom -iands
And the roar Of the numbering billoxs
On the far off shelving sands.
So the years ilow out and over,
While the world gains more and more;
And the day of the splendid future
Rises fairer than Of yore;
And we garner the spring-time sowing.
Kneeling downward as We lay
At the feet of our mother people.
Whatever honor may.

The New York Journal says: "The
man in the cngine-r0om has little of
the fun or glory Of modern sea fight.
He hears the booming Of the near and
distant guns, but he does not know
how the battle is going. The ship may
be a hopeless wreck and the next
minute his last, but that is none Of
his affair. The engines must keep
moving, aud they must respond in
stantly to the will of the ships brain
in the coming tower or the battle is
lost. The whole ship is one maze of
complicated machinery. 1t is steered
by steam its turrets are turned by
steam directly or indirectly, through
electric, pneumatic or hydraulic pow
er; its greatguns are loaded by. y.steam;
it Is lighted by electricity, which Is
supplied by dynamos run by steam; it
is ventilated by stcam-steam is the
course Of all its activities. Let the en-
gines cease to work and the ship

sure and westerly winds will come in
from northwest behind the storms,
spreading eastward generally and
modifying the weather up to about
the 7th or 9Th.
Reactionary weather conditions will
take place on and touching the 9TH
and 10th. Barometer will fall In the
regular order, growing warmer and
ending in storms OF rain, wind, hail
and thunder. Friday the 10th, date
of moons passage Of the equator, we
name as that on which the heaviest
storms are probable. Look for much
brilliant lightning, frequently all
night long, in these solstlcc distur-
dances. Let all know that the blazes
Of sheet lightning which commonly
illuminate the June skies at night are
harmless. But the vicious thunder
storms passing very near at this time
are different.
A regular storm period, central on
the 18th, will bring lower barometer,
warmer weather and more rain and
storminess from about the 18th to
18th. A Venus disturbance from this
period, through the remainder of
June, will be force in connection with
the summer solstice. This fact will

every probability bring many showers
to most parts of the country with
numerous hail storms and many mag

We believe that one OF the most active

Exceptions will be mostly to the west

most intense and, Of course, doing the
most damage to crops in northwestern

GEN. GOMEZ'S WIFE.
FORMER SCHoOLMATE GIVES SOME
INTERESTING FACTS AS TO
HER HISTORY.

Waynesboro, Miss, May 13.-The
statement recently appearing in the
papers concerning the wife OF General
Gomez has become matter OF local
interest. Mrs. w. S. Davis, wife of
the clerk Of the chancery and circuit
courts Of this place, formerly nod an
intimate acquaintance with the lady
in question. The Times-Democrat
spondent to-day called upon Mrs.
Davis and obtained the following in
formation:
"Yes, / knew Miss Pink Martin"
said Mrs. Davis. Her name is Sarah,
Pink being the pet name by which she
was called. Her father was Henry L..
Martin, Of Tennessee, a remarkably
handsome man, and her mother was a
daughter OF Col. Jack johnson and one

Miss, for some time, and have often
been at their house, where everything
was in grand style. Pink Martin was
perfect beauty when girl, and was
one of my schoolmates. In 1S47-S we
attended school taught by the late
Col. ]. J. Shannon, well-known after

about 1856 she married a youne
man named Kline, a Georgian, bu,
they did not live happily together
and after a welded experience of three
weeks they separated. Her father anC
mother separated while she was a
young girl. Shortly prior to the civil
war Pink Martin, as she was still
called, married Everett Johnson, who
was her FIRST cousin. This matrimon.
ial venture did not appear much more
successful than the first, for about the
beginning Of the hostiites her hus-
band disposed of his property and
went West, and she went also. The
last time ! saw her was during the
war at the Roper House, in Mobile;
but after that she came to Shubuta on
visit to relatives, bringing with her
her young son. 1t was on this occa.
sion that she stated she had gone to
Cuba and married wealthy Cuban.
Since that time nothing has been
heard of her whereabouts. She was a
high-spirited, ambi Lious woman"
