The Temple of Honor of this city gave
an open temple on Monday night There
were number of songs and addresses,
Col. Watrous, Sam Randolph and Henry
Sandford being among the speakers. A
large crowd was present. Col Watrous's s
address was listened to with the closest
attention. The Colonel is not naturally
a fluent speaker, but his earnestness, his
sincerity and good sense make him one
of the most attractive speakers of the state.
There may be more elegant and finished
speakers in Wisconsin; there are none
who can make deeper impression upon
an audience. Mr. Watrous is a great
favorite throughout the state but it is his
worth and true manliness that commend
him and not any effort on his part to
court popularity. No other man in the
the state has done as much in the cause
of temperance yet no one can accuse him
of fanaticism or illiberality. He is earn
est without being violent, and industri-
Gus without being obtrusive. We class
Colonel Watrous with those gentlemen
who derive their patent of nobility from
manly worth. Mr.. Watrous intends to
discontinue lecturing and perhaps will no
longer accept the high position in the
order to which he has SO often and so de-
servedly been elected. 1t will be a
serious loss to the order as there is no
man in the state who can fill his place.
He is now one of the editors of the Sun
day Telegraph and we presume the pub
lication of that paper together with the
Appeal renders it almost impossible for
him to continue other duties The Col.
has made friends here outside the order
as well as in it who will hear with pleas
ure of his success in anything he may

preston from one of the three COL
,rs on the negative plates, each
negative, as has been noted, con-


aiming an exact percentage of col
,r which 1t retains and gives back
again to the paper with mathe-


uatical eXactness of proportion
and n harmonious blending, giving
all the delicate shades of color
found in nature.


Mr.. Rosenthal, in an explanatory
note, thus sums up some of the adj
vantages of this discovery: "This
process has been used with much
success in printing works upon art
science and industry. The necessa-
ry explanatory prints, which up to
this day have to be got up with
great expense and loss of time flor
they had to be designed, engraved
and then col0red), for boUks can be
gotten up more correctly and more
comprehensively by this mode, as
the objects represented are placed
before The eye in natural color and
mathematically correct proportions
which gives special value for works
of such useful character, and thus ii
has become possible to copy objects
in museums of art and science and
industry to great perfection. This
invention will lead to great re-
formation in the mode of pictorial
reprsductions.',


OF the two specimens in our pos
session, one is group of flowers in
which all their natural colors ap.
pear in perfection, not IN any thin
film, but as if they had been laid
on with liberal hand. The other
is landscape, with delicate shades
and nice gradations of color, and
with all the eXactness of detail
which is usually found in the ordi-
nary photograph.

Since Daguerre made his great
discovery by which he could take
accurate impressions on plates by
the aid of solar light, a large num-
ber of scientific men in all coun-
tries have been engaged in perfect
ing this discovery. The ambrotype
was al. n.improvement on the dag
uerreotype; then came the photo
graph, crude at first, but now so
perfected that it gives accurately
the outlines and details of every
ohj-ct with mechanical accuracy.
Then, the process was so far inn
proved that Impressions could be
taken instantaneously. Thus, the
race horse, flying over the track,
was photographed in every phase
of his gait. Tie swift railway
train and the swift steamship
could be taken at the top of
their speed. But the experiments
to find process of taking Impress
ions in colors had been going on
for nearly forty years, with only
moderate advances towards the de-
sired end. Now and then we have
heard of important discoveries
which promised a solution of the
whole question. Men have devoted
their lives to this one discovery,
and have died without obtaining
the secret. 1t has never been
doubted by scientific men that the
secret would yet be given up. 1t
would be possible to photograph
from nature so that an exact tran
script coula be made as perfect in
color as it has been done for years
in mechanical outline and detail.


1t was reserved for German
scientist and inventor, Joseph AL.
bert of Munich, to discover pro-
cess of producing photographs in
colors. We have before US two ex.
amples of this process sent by the
inventor to Toby Rnsenthal, the
weil-known artist now temporarily
residing in this city. They are
probably the only specimens of the
kind ever seen on this side OF the
country. They resemble water
ooIors, and would readily be taken
as very good examples of that kind
of work. Mr.. Rosenthal thinks
that this discovery will, In time,
rev0lutioniZe most of the methods
employed in the pictorial arts. The
process has now been 10 far ad.
vanced that all the primary colors
are taken with great facility. Most
Of the experiments heretofore made
have been prosecuted on the theory
that the photograph Of colors must
be taken by one process or impress
sion as the coloIIess photograph
is now taken. The experiments
were all failures.


Albert discarded this method
which bad been so fruitless. and
turned his attention to q careful
alaysis of the three primary colors
in nature, viz: red, yellow and blue.
Afterwards he was enabled to trans
fer colors one at q time In
their respective proportions or
values to paper. He first took a
negative of all the red qualities
contained in the object to be repro
duced. Then he took O negative OF
all the yellow colors, aud next, all
of the blue. The camera Ia adj

The devil came to the earth one day,
And unto court house wended his way,
Just as attorney with very grave face
Was proceeding to argue the points in a case.
Now lawyer his Majesty never had seen,
For to his domnions none ever had been,
And he felt very curious the reason to know
Why none had been sent to the regions below.
Twas the fanlt of his agents his Majesty thought
Why none OF these lawyers had neyerbeen caught:
And for his own pleasure he had desire
10 come to the earth and the reason nauire.
Well, the lawyer who rose with visage so grave,
Made out his opponent consummate knaye;
And the old devil was nluchly amused
10 hear the attorney SO greatly abused.
AS soon az the speaker had come to close,
The counsel opposing then fercely arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of the first
AS made him william of all men the worst.
Thus they quarreled, contended, and argued so
Twas hard to determine the one that was wrong
And concluded he'd heard quite enough of the


''fuss,'


Old Nick turned away and soliloquiz ed thus
If all they have said Of each other be true,
The devil has surely been robbed of his due;
| m satisfied now, tits all very we'll,
These lawyers would ruin the morals of hell
They have puzzled the court with yillainous


cavil;


And am free to confess, they have puzz led the


devil;

! How TO BE A GENrLEMAS,-We want


f-w private words with the boys, says
the Parish Visitor. The truth is we have


a gfes, idea Of boys. We used to think


men were made Of boys. We begin to


think now that those were old-fashioned


notions, that they are all out Of date. We


look round and see great many persons


grown up, with mems clothes on, who are


called men. But they act and behave so


that we feel certain that they were never


made out Of boys. Ifthey had been, they


won'd have known how to behave better.


Where they came from we do not know.


But what we wish to pat into tho ears Of


the boys is this-be gentlemen. In this
country every boy may grow up to be a
gentleman if be will. 1t is not necessary
that he should become tich-and most
boys think it is-.nor is It necessary that
he should become great scholar, nor
that he should become distinguished
man. is


But some impatient ones are asking.
How can we become gentlemen How
can boy go about making himself one +?
Can he work for its Yes he can. And
the harder he works for it in the right
way, the better. But he must study with
his eyes and his ears. Rea'ling books
and newspapers is not enough. He must
think and feel, as well as speak and act.
Gan he buy il? No, he can not. Money
will buy good many things, but it will
no: buy what makes gentleman. If
you have money, you can go to a shop
and bny clothes. Bat hat, coat, pants
and boots do not make a gentleman.
They make q fop, and sometimes come
near making a fool Money will buy
dogs and horses, but how many dogs and
hcrses do you think It will take to make
a gentleman Let no boy, therefore, think
he is TO be made gentleman by the
clothes he wears, the horse he rides, the
stick he carries, the dog tha, tro,s after
him, the house he lives in, or the money
he spends. Not one OF all Of these doit-
and yet every boy may be a gentleman.
Bat how 2 BY being true. manly, and
honorable. BY keeping himself neat and
respectable. BY being civil and courteous.
BY respecting himself and respecting
Others. BY doing the best he knows how.
Aud finally, and above all, BY fearing God
and keeping his commandments.

The Senate judiciary committee on
Monday agreed to report new polygamy
bill, the main features Of which Will

penalty of five hundred dollars hne and
Imprisonment not exceeding five years is

The Chicago Tribune has lately and for years been jealous in encouraging settlement and development of the Territories, and urged people to get out of the overcrowded cities and go West" In this course it was right, and did the best thing for the indus trious poor of the cities and also the best for the cities, for nothing can be more distressing to well-to-do city peo- pie than to have a surplus of poor people on hand with nothing for them to do and necessarily calling for aims. But The Tribune has changed its pol icy. It now deplores the settlement of the Territories. Here is an extract of one of its late walls on the subject:

 Every person added to the popula- tion of Wyoming is taken from some old community where he might live in greater ease and comfort. Every dol lar expended in developing the re- sources of Arizona is withdrawn from some enterprise in another and better part of the country. All our far West ern settlements have been built up at the expense of settlements in the far East, and little has been gained by the transfer of men and capital.

 Such drivel needs no refutatiOn. Had this absurd argument prevailed in early times, Chicago would have had no existence. It is narrow, selfish and crazy, and is only referred to here to show our people one of the curious freaks of able @ journalism.

Evergreen is the name of a new mining district about twenty miles northwest of Tucson and but four or five miles south of the line of the rail way. It embraces the low mountains about Point of Mountain and to the westward. There is no limit to the ore in the district, and its nearness to the railway must make it valuable, even if not of high grade. Not much in the way of development has yet been done, but some work has been going on for couple of months past with an encouraging showing. Judge J. Neugass, John W. Davis and some others have been expending money and labor out there, and they are quite content with the prospects, and feel sure that on the completion of the rail way no trouble will be found in get. ting men of means to aid in operating the mines.

ONE R. F. Straine has been writing column upon column for different east ern papers about Arizona in the most friendly spirit, and he goes to the very limit of praise. These facts make it rather hard for us to say that our east ern journalists would do well to curb him considerable when he touches railway matters about which he writes as if he knew more than the directors of companies now building roads in this direction. They ought at least to be sure that he has accurate geogra- phical knowledge of the country he writes about, before giving him more space to make himself and the papers ridiculous.

It seems a number of Prescott peo- pie have lately-settled in Phoenix and Salt River Valley, and are trying to do better there, and, according tosome of the Phoenix peoples statements, the Prescott Miner has been raking up old records of these former Precott- ties. A Phoenix correspondent of the Herald devotes a column and a half to the subject, and very properly says:

 Whatever the character of men may have been while residing in Prescott and its vicinity, it is not kind, to say the least, for the people of Prescott or the Prescott papers, when they have settled in neighboring town and un- der the genial influence of its climate and the general prosperity around | them have become not only thriving and prosperous, but moral and upright men, to talk in such an unkind way about them, not only reminding them of what they would probably like to forget. but as it were warning their neighbors against them by telling what they were at one time in their lives, under certain demoralizing in- | tiuences. When men have been able to see the error of their ways and have determined, in new country, with new associates and under more benign influences to lead better life, it is un- christian and cruel to twit them with their former evil associations.
