A ROMAN sCHooLBoY.
Work Done by Graeco-Roman Pupil:
1000 Years Ago.
From the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Something new in the form of an ex-
ercise book for budding Greek scholars
has made it's appearance in Germany.
Into this "GreelS Reader" has been
packed all sorts of delightful and al
most unknown specimens of the liter
ature of ancient Greece, such as fables.
fairy tales, stories, etc, adapted for
young people There are also examples
of the work done by the pupils of the
Graeco- Roman school some twenty GEN.
turtles ago.
The following, for Instance, is the ac-
count of his daily routine work by a
Roman schoolboy: He writes: II wake
up before sunrise, leave my bed, sit
down with my straps and shoes and
put on my shoes. Then water for wash
ing Is brought to me. l wash first my
hands. then my face, take off my night
cap, put on my undergarment, anoint
and comb my hair, arrange my neck
cloth. put on white paper garment
and wrapper. Then l leave my bed
room, together with my tutor and my
maid, salute my father and mother and
leave the house." The mixture of Spar
tan abstinence In leaving home with
out breakfast, and of the altogether
un-Spartan luxury, of an attendant,
tutor and maid is suggestive.
The youth goes on to explain, with a
deliciously pedantlc air: Il reach the
school, enter and say. Good morning,

I'm SIX CHAPTERS-CHAPTER |.

VrHE HISTORY of the first Ameri-
can revolution against European
royal authority has yet to be writ
u ten. It's objects haveI been over
looked or obscured the names Of
It's martyrs almost forgotten, and its
Importance SO little appreciated that
where 1t is mentioned at all in histories
Of the United States, 1t is dismissed
with sentence, Yet eight years be-
fore the Declaration of Independence
was adopted at Philadelphia the men
who planned the first North American
Republic had been fusiladie at New
Orleans, and their protest. against alb
solutism had been burned in the public
square to make an end for Ever Of sedi-
tion and republcanism. 1.-The words of
Lafreniere's "Declaration1 which the
Spanish authorities Thought thus to
consume, were not less boHd than those
OF Jefferson. "The solidityI of thrones" :"
he wrote, "is in proportion Ito the extent
OF commerce and populatioIn. Both are
fed by liberty and competition which
are the nursing mothers of the state, of
which the spirit of monopoly is the
tyrant and stepmother. without liber-
ty there are few virtueS. Despotism
breeds pusillanimity and deepens the
abyss Of vice."
1t was in the support of this principle
on which the Constitution Of the Unit
ed States was afterwards 3ased that on
Oct. 25, 1863, Nicholas Chkuvin de La
freniere, with his associates in the at
tempt to establish the firtst American
republic, Joseph Milhet, PHI ferre Markuis,
Jean Baptiste Noyan and Pierre Ca
resse were executed as rebels and trail
tors against France and Spain.
Lafreniere. their leadery was a man
of great ability and of syuch boldness
that had he been support ted as James
Otis was when his prtbtest against
''Writs of Assistance" ma de even John
Adams ''shudder at the consequence of
such premises" the "Replt bile of Louis
lana" might have been t\he first state
of the American Union. but if Otis, in
Massachusetts, was so mul lch in advance
of the, public sentimentsD of the New
England colonists in decla tring the opin-
ions held also by Lafrent1ere, that even
Adams was alarmed fdtr the conse-
quences, it is not to be Wondered that
tfter having expelled the Spanish gov
srnor, Lafreniere was left almost alone
against the overwhelming forces of the
Spanish armament at ftime when the
entire province of Louisiana could not
nave mustered three tho lusand fighting
men.

England began with declarations of
steadfast loyalty to the EKing of Eng

the extortions of their different COVER
nors. the little esteem in which they
are held, the few offices which they are
permitted to fill and would weight the
great inducements which they would
have to hate still more the Spanish
domination and to think they can brave
1t with more security, when they shall
see that a province, weak when COM
pared with their extensive and populous
country, can make good her position
with impunity and secure her prosper
ity"
After this remarkable and prophetic
declaration, that the superior prosper
ity and happiness Of the people of
Louisiana under Republican govern
ment would result in the loss to Spain
of Its crown colonies in America, Count
Amanda recommended that the full
military power of Spain be exerted to
crush the revolutionists and prevent
the establishment of the contemplated
republic. No higher tribute has beeen
paid to the motives Of Lafreniere and
his associates, unless indeed 1t was the
fusilade from Spanish muskets with
which Count O'Reilly attempted to
make impossible forever the Republi-
can prosperity and happiness which
Count Amanda had prophecied as the
cause of the future loss Of Mexico.
The story of Lafreniere as a revolu-
Zionist and republican conspirator
which ended for the time being with
his execution under O'Reilly, began
when. as attorney general of the colony
under Louis XIV (the "Well-Beloved'') }.

will, he had "ceded to his very dear

Governor LAbbadie to put Spain in
full possession, but the governor, after
living long enough to witness the grief
of the colonists at the abandonment by
France of it's magnificent empire in
America. and to feel the Indignation
they felt "as being bartered away as
marketable Objects" died on Feb. A..
1865, five months after he had pub

KXR. BAYARD H. TYLER, the we'll
N1 known New York artist, whose
/ superb portraits of Colonel and
Mrs. H. M. Boies have been such a de-
light to their friends, was In the city
this week, as the guest of Mrs. r. j
Bennell. Mr.. Tyler has just completed
an oil portrait of the late j. j. AL
bright, which is in every way a re-
markable success. The likeness Is sin
gularly perfect-a fact the more inter-
esting, since the only available photo
graph of Mr.. Albright was a small card
not considered particularly faithful as
a portrait, and from which much of the
distinctive character had faded during
the years that have elapsed since it
was taken.
Mr.. Tyler has definite genius in
painting subjects in middle life and old
age, not that he is less clever in the
portrayal of youth, but that his repre-
sentations of elderly people contain
something more than fidelity OF like
| ness. The portrait of Mr.. Albright, for
instance, seems to have In 1t the con-
served forces of all the past which went
to make up this distinguished early
citizen of Scranton. 1t is not the pic
ture merely of a man whose years are
slipping into the autumn of life, but
one whose keen, frank gaze, whose
strong lines of character betoken a
captain of industry" an organizer,
one who led in laying the sure founda-
tions of American industries and pro-
| gress
People who knew Mr. Albright well
are struck with the exceptional skill of
the artist in producing the real man In
this portrait with the strength of his
personality. Few OF Mr.. Albrights
early friends remain. One of these sal
| long before the canvas the other even
ing and, lost in recollections, as he
| gazed into the eyes meeting his, fell
unconsciously to speaking to the man
| in the picture, as IL he were truly
there, listening happily to the familiar
tones. 1t was only with an effort that
the visitor could re-adjust his point of
view and coming back to the present,
realize that long, long ago the smiling
| eyes had closed in the dust of the VAL
ley, and that he only of mis- generation
was left.
Mrs. Bennell and Mrs. James Arch
bald are entirely satisfied with their
fathers portrait, and Mrs. Bennell will
soon have 1t placed in the public
library, for this, a gift Of hers, is an
other memorial of a good man, and is
an additional mark of generosity to
Scranton from a family whose MEM
bers have done much for their native
city. 1t will be hung in the hall, near
the broad staircase, where an excellent
light Is to be secured. The technique
OF the painting is like all MIR. Tyler's
later work. well-nigh fiawless. 1t has
breadth of treatment, combining the
very best in this style, with none of the
tricks of haste which cheaper the value
OF much present day work OF even most
distinguished painters. 1t is this beau
tiful conscientiousness, this effect of
being the best possible work of the
artist that appeals to the thoughtful
observer
Many friends of Mr.. John Jermyn are
hoping to see his portrait yet painted
