Undraped Babies.

In Philadelphia, more than half q
century ago, few casts from the an.
tique created something very like
public scandal; and when, at an earlier
period Greenough's Chanting Cherubs,
the first group by an American sculp-
tor, was exhibited, storm Of condem-
nation enveloped the undraped fig
ures; nude babies were familiar in
American homes, but their appearance
in public shocked the moral sense OF
the whole community. This, remarks
Hamilton Mabia in Atlantic Monthly,
was IN New York, where, still earlier,
gentlemen who lived by piracy had
been influential members Of society.
The symbolism of Powers Greek
Slave and the passionate sympathy
with the Greek struggle for freedom
diverted attention from the nudity of
the figure to the pathos it expressed;
but it was thought necessary, in the in
terests of public morals, that the fair
captive should be examined by a COM
mittee of experts. Accordingly group
of clergymen in Cincinnati sat as a
jury and, after critical examination
Of the figure, issued a kind of license
for purposes of public exhibition. The
humor of submitting the statue to the
inspection of a committee of clergy
men does not seem to have occurred
to any save a few Americans who had
been corrupted by familiarity with
foreign galleries; nor does anyone ap-
pear to have realized that the real i'm
morality was not in the timid slave,
but in the public opinion which hailed
her effigy as the greatest work Of art
in the history of the world!

New Chinese Press Law.

Peking.-The throne has issued or
ders to the ministry of the interior and
the ministry OF justice to frame new
press law for China to replace the e1
listing regulations. This action is due
to the great growth Of public meetings
in the empire, the use Of proclamations
and the egitation for rights to recov.

the habit of paying the Dec tax and the preceding
