figures invented is singularly spright-
ly and precise.
There are etchings by Cruikshank,
though these are not numerous in pro-
portion to the mass of his great
laborS, which are as excellent artis-
tically as they are notable for genius
and wit, where the stroke of the
needle is as happy as the thought, and
where the student of etching may find
models, as the student of manners
finds record or a suggestion.
in etehings of this class Cruikshank
carries one virtue of the art to perfec-
tion-its simple frankness. He is Sc
direct and unaffected that only those
who know the difficulties of etching
can appreciate the power that lies be-
hind his unpretending skill; there is
| never, in his most admirable plates
the trace of a vain effort
And, 1t must be remembered that
OF the innumerable Cruikshank plates
the copper plates and steel etchings
all were entirely the work of the
| artists own hands, for 1t was only
his wood cuts that he entrusted tc
the skill of the professional engraver
A great writer in reflections on q

works of an artist there are only two

meal resource, and there inquiry
must stop. Nothing is gained BY
comparison of styles. for the critic
is bound to accept all. Judged BY
this standard. Cruikshank may bt
said to be a transcendent artist. In.
deed, Ruskin thought him SO great
as an artist that he deplored the vas,
amount of time and genius which
Cruikshank devoted to the mere illus
tration of a book. Ruskin also added
that his tragic power, though rarel,
developed completely, was as remark
able as his grotesque powers.
In conclusion, one may add that thi.
wonderful genius had no artist,

tainly one of the most remarkable
men of the nineteenth century, and
in respect to his versatility and
genius, one of the most remarkable
artists of any age or country. AS a
caricaturist his blow fell like "a ham
mer and like fire." as a humorist
he was unrivaled; in his power to
move the heart to terror or pity he
was elevated to plane wherein
stand the greatest dramatists, the
masters in a sister art, and in his
role as a reformer of abuses of power
and government he deserves the COM
mendation of all mankind.
What lecturer for the cause of tenn
perance ever pointed out the horrors
of inebriety with the thrilling terror
of the prints known as THE Gin
Bottle" 1.-The Gin Juggernaut' or
1.-The Drunkard's Children?
What sermon on the wages of
crime could equal the horror OF the
plate known as "Fagin in the Con-
demned Cell?" or what diatribe could
more clearly point out the dispropor-
ton between the offense and the
penalty than the artists celebrated

on this page? This plate, when Sub
mitted to the consideration of the
bank directors and the inspection OF

brutal English government to reform
its criminal system. Thus Cruikshank
becomes, like Beccaria in a still more
barbarous age, a true benefactor to
the whole human race And, as IN
the case of the latter, when he pub

True Type of Life Pictured in a Book
Written By One Nurtured in Ne,0drk

Several years ago Clement Scott. q
who afterward condescended to en-
tighten the New York playgoing pub
lie with his views on the stage, an
nounced that there was no virtuous
woman on the boards. The storm
that deluged him, the scorn that Scarf
fed him was deserved. Yet in the
novel, 1.-THE Clutch OF Circum-
stances" there is a picture which
very clearly indicates how difficult II
is for any woman to rise to the
heights as an actress who fails to
count the cost or who allows her
pies In obedience to the seventh COM
nandment
"The Clutch of Circumstance
should be off particular interest in
Newark. 1t was written by the
nephew of a resident well known in
social and in realty circles in the
city, and the son of DR.. Osmun, who
until his removal to California was
in business in Broad street, opposite
Central avenue. The young author
has, I believe, written other novels
but in the one under discussion he
has challenged criticism by taking as
the motive of his work a very deli
cate subject-that of the social re-
lations of woman on the stage and
her battle in life to gain her own
livelihood with circumstances all
arrayed against her.
| Has the author succeeded in pre-
senting lifelike picture, or has he
sketched only the usual prejudiced,
| ill conceived and ill-informed story ?
| 1t may be said that, in a measure, he
| has succeeded. The only fault that
can be found is that in the style and
| development of the tale there are GER
tain crudities which only true artist
would avoid and that in drawing a
portrait of the stage manager he has
given his particular hero, a successful
dramatic promoter, credit for quail
ties which would be regarded as i'm
possible in the ensemble of such a
parsonage on the Great White Way"
But in drawing the portrait of the
actress-not the highly gifted and
highly-paid star, but the ordinary
road company actress-Mr. Osmun
has shown intimate knowledge of her
chief characteristics, which are no.

Ruth Lawson, whose Fremont
tons BODIED i'll. could not remain quiet
in her home. She harnessed another
horse and drove in the darkness to
find her husband. The break In the
rail over the gulch told her the story.
She clambered down the steep sides,
found the unconscious man and then
climbing to the summit again rushed
to summon aid. The effort nearly
killed her. Her child was born only
to die in short time and for many
days she lay at the point of death
With the husband of Ruth condi-
tons were much worse. He had re-
ceived injuries on his head which
left him permanently unconscious
and oblivious Of the past or the pres
emit. Then 1t was that real disaster
logged the unhappy couple Law
sons business, left without his guild
ing hand, went to ruin and at last,
Ruth, fully recovered, determines to
go to New York to seek a position
Only thus, she believes, can she earn
enough to support her helpless hus-
band and his mother. AS usual In
such cases, her struggle in New York
is narrowing and she is saved at last
only by the charitable intervention
of the actress, Lory Williams, whom
she had met on the train on her jour-
ney to the metropolis and who had
rescued her from the attentions OF
'.masher."
In the home Of Lory, who lived H.
licitly with a young and wealthy
married man, she Is introduced to
a successful theatrical manager, Ben
jamin Rudolf. Lory had conceived
the idea that Ruth, who was charm
ingly pretty and who could sing,
would succeed on the stage. She and
her friend had induced Rudolf to
meet the young woman and yet when
the couple saw the impression the
girl had made upon the manager and
heard the extraordinary offers he
made her they were alarmed, for they
knew what he expected in return.
The rest OF the story I shall leave
to the Imagination of the reader. It
is enough to say that Ruth triumphs
in the end, as, alasl few women in
the same circumstances do. For
many poor women the clutch of
circumstance is too strong for the
most repellant virtue or the most in-
herently moral spirit.

artist and genius to consider much the
results of the work of his pencil; he
knew that his art sermons were in
evitable in their effect that if human
nature could be moved at all to see
the folly of sin and self-indulgence
it would be the humorous presentation
of the consequences of its alterations.
But, perhaps, the most marvellous
element in the genius of Cruikshank
was his power to express action in
everything he drew. If, said one, he
put cane or pair of shoes on a
plate they were just as instinct with
life, with energy, with action, as If
a human figure accompanied them.

This book. THE Canon of Reason
and Virtue issued by the publishers
in most attractive form, Is part Of
the authors larger work, THE Tac
Teh King" and is put forth with the
purpose of making the reading public
more familiar with the imposing
figure of Lii Err, posthumously known
as Poh- Yang; that Is, Prince Posi-
tive, representing the strong or male
principle. denominated by his fellow
countrymen as 1.-The old philosopher
Lao-Tze was born in 604 B. c..
about half a century before Con
fucius. His fame was so widespread
that Confucius sought an interview
with him. They met, but quite &C
cording to precedent, these doctors OF
philosophy did not agree, and they
parted, mutually disappointed.
Lao TIE was the founder of very
numerous sect. His doctrine may be
described as sort of practical and
positive quietism, partaking both OF
a philosophical and a religious char
acter 1t is clouded with pronounced
superstitious blemishes. But, in the
main, 1t is noble and dignified.
AS the book says, the system OF
Confucius is the guiding principle OF
the Chinese government, but in the
hearts of the people of China the
doctrine of Lao TIE is enshrined. AS
time went on his disciples developed
more and more the mystical elements
of Taoism, the practical elements OF
which terminated in a belief in al
chemy, especially in an elixir of life.
And, 1T now must be confessed, that
the Taoism of China is a religion
which, powerful though 1t be, but
little accords with the spirit of the
ancient philosopher, its founder. and
is at present only a system Of super
stition and superstitious practises.
The Taoist church is governed by 9
Taoist pope, who lives In a sumptuous
palace, surrounded by beautiful gar
dens and parks, near Lung HUI Shan.
AS the present volume aftirms. the
Tao Teh King of Lao TIE presents so
many and such surprising analogtes
with Christian doctrine and senti-
ment, that were its pref Christian or
igin not established beyond the
shadow of a doubt one would be in
clined to discover in It traces of
Christian influence.
Lao TIE breaches the doctrine of the
Golden Rule, of returning good for
evil and of the necessity of becoming
as a little child If one would ascend
to the realms of bliss.
In a very beautiful L'envoi, the
