J think the only sure way of effecting a reduction of taxation is by passing several independent bills relating , to the subjects of the tariff and internal revenue. Each of these subjects should be separate con sidered. . In conceding a ; separate vote on these questions I do not think any representative needs to feel that he is sacrificing a principle. These questions should be settled by the House of Representatives iivnc cordance with the will of the major ity, unrestrained by parliamentary technicalities and hindrances. "G.

Bill Nye in the New Aork World. Taking the World artist: with me in order to -know fully what I was talking about, I visited the Academy of Design a day or two ago for the purpose of witnessing some of tl pictures of Paris which arc now on exhibition there. Many of these pictures are large and beautiful, while others are small and onerv. At the head of the stairs is a small ish picture, with a good, heavy frame arid greenish foreground. It is not on the catalogue, so I wil try to describe it briefly. About half way between the foreground and middle distance there is a creuVcol- bred perspective, while above there is a rag-carpet sky, with lumps on it. - '-' "And is there no way of removing these large lumps of .paint, so as to give the picture an even appear ance ?"

No. 136 is the "Execution of Max imilian" by Edouard Manet, a. for eign artist. The scene is laid at the basejof an old Mexican , slaughter- liouse. . In the foreground may be seen the rear of the Mexican army, with its wealth of tournure and cute little cored pants. All Mexican troops have their trousers gored at the hips. Sometimes they also have them gored at the bullfights which take place there. In the contiguous, distance Maximilian may he seen wearing the hat which has evidently infuriated the Mexican populace. The artist says that Maximilian ob jects tobeing shot, but 1 pretend not to hear him, and he repeats the re mark, so I have to say, "very good, very good," and then we pass on to No. 60, which is entitled-"Dreams," by Previs de Chavannes.

No. S-i is a picture by Chas. Du- rand entitled "A Country Woman in Champagne." I was bitterly disap pointed in this picture,-for though the woman seems. to be in good spir its the artist has utterly failed to grapple fully with the subject, and without the catalogue in his hand I would defy the most brilliant con noisseur to say definitely whether or not she is under the influence of liquor. We next walk around to No. 16S, picture by Camille Pissaro. M. Pissaro has ten pictures in the Academy but this one is the best. It is made by the squirt system of painting, graining and kalsomining which is now becoming so a la mcde and rou-ge ei noir. The artist tells me that the colors are carefully ar ranged in a tin pail and applied to the canvas h' means of a squirt-gun or Rembrandt stomach pump. This gives-the painting a beautiful, yet dappled, appearance, which could not be obtained with a brush. The picture is worth S3 of any man's money, for the frame is worth 82, and there is at least a dollar's worth of paint on the picture that is just as good as ever. The artist has handled the feet in a masterly man ner, bringing them out so that they hang over the frame like a thing of life. If I could paint feet as M. Pis saro does I would not spend my life striping buggies in a, close' room among coarse men witn putty on their pantaloons,1 but I would burst forth from my humble surroundings, and I would attract the attention of i the whole "great world of art with my massive and heroic feet. .Then from this I would gradually get so I res that would re- mi " neonle. mere is no reason problem, so that the great curse of industry may be wiped out and-the wealthy man made to pay the taxes while the poor man assists in shar ing the burden. of dividends, is lay iug on the ground with a pleasant smile on his face. He is asleep, with his mouth slightly ajar, showing how his teeth'are fastened in their places. He is smiling in his slumber, and there is hay in his whiskers. Three decalcomanie angels are seen fasten ed to the sKy in the form of a tableau. One is scattering cookies in his pathway, while the second has a laurel wreath which is offered at a great reduction, . as the -owner is about to leave the city for the summer.- These, vre the new styles of wingless angels recently introduced into art and now becoming very pop ular. , Mr. Chavannes is also the mechanic who constructed (a picture numbered 61 and called the "Poor Fisherman." The history of this little picture is full of pathos. The scene is laid in Newark Bay, New Jersey. A poor fisherman and his children go out to spend the day, taking their lunch with them. "O, papa, let us take two or three cucumbers with our lunch," says one of the children, in glee. "Very well, my child," exclaims thefather, with ilUconcealed delight. "Go down to the market and get one for each of us." The artist has chosen to make his study of the fisherman a short time after lunch. The father is engaged in regretting something which it is now too late to recall.. Cholera in fantum has overtaken the younger child and the other; is gathering lo belia for her father. The picture is wonderful in its conception and ex ecution. One can see that he is a poor fisherman, for he has not caught any fish, and the great agony he feels is depicted in his face and the altitude of his hair. The picture might have been called a battle piece or a French interior, with equal propriety. Manetr has several bright and cheery bits of color, among them No. 147, "Spring at Giverney," which might be called Fourth of July in a Roman candle factory without mis leading the thoughtful art student. No. 156, "Meadows ' at Giverny," by the same man, is a study in con necting the foreground and back ground of an oil painting by :neans of purple hay and dark-blue bunch es of boneset in such a way as to de ceive the eye. I have alwaj-s bitterly regretted that while I was abroad I did not go to Giverny and see the purple. hay and navy" blue tansy and water cress which grow there in such great abundance. How often we go bur- Tying through' a country, seeing the old and well 'worn features shown us the back of her head, but has gone no further with her toilet when the surprise takes place. The idea is lofty and the treatment beneficial. I do not know that I am using these terms sl should, but l am doing the best I can. We often hear our friends regret that their portraits, dressed in cloth ing that has long since become ob solete, are still in existence, and though the features are correctly re produced, the- custom is now so ridiculous as to impair the de trop of the picture and mar its aplomb. Jules Defebvi-e has overcome this great obstacle in a marvelous man ner, and given us Diana and her en tile staff, surrounded by an atmos phere that time cannot cloud with contumely or obscure with ridicule. Had the artist seen fit to paint Diana wearing a Garibaldi" waist and very full skirt, with large hoops, and her hair wrapped around two large t:rats," he might have been true to the customs and costumes ofa certain period in the history of art, but it would not have stood tho test of time. As it is he has wisel7 chosen to thrpw about her nn air of hauteur which will look just as well in a hun- idred years as it does now. The picture has a massive frame, and wouldbrighteii up one end of a dining-room very much." I whs deeply mortified and disappointed to learn that it was not for sale.

Mr. Nathan Brewer, of this coun ty, met with a horrible death on last Friday. He was threshing -wheat on that dav at Mr. Josiah T. Dark's, in Matthews township, and, in at tempting to step over the rod that connected the horse-power with the thresher, the end of his pants was eaught and the rapidly revolving rod threw him down,and, before the machinery could be stopped, he was fatally injured. Que leg was broken in two or three' places and the other was pulled off, besides severe inju ries to his body, lie lingered in creat asony for three or four hours before death relieved bis sufferings. The deceased was a son of the late Amos Brewer, and during the war was a gallant'" Confederate soldier (being a member of Co. E. 26th -N? C. Regiment) and "was wounded, at Gettysburg. . why Mr. Pissaro should hot do well in that way, for he has painted No. 171, "A.Woman at a Well," in which the most unkempt and uncultivated peasant can at once distinguish which 'is -the woman and which is the well. He -is "also the -author of. ing anything about.it. From the "Wilmington Messenger. , There is no reason whatever" why there should be these continued out breaks in . Kentucky. The State is rich; it has all the "machinery 'of government; it has an abundance of resources, and yet its condition tO-r dayj in some counties, is worse than . that of the far West. " The disorders cannot be attributed to anarchists this time: There is no foreign element entering into , the disturbances. Those who create dis order, who bring about bloodshed, r who defy the law and all properly constituted authorities, are Ameri cans, native and to the manner born. ' The problem, therefore, is simple' enough. It presents only one. ques- tion, ''What shall be done to pre serve the law?" There is no man of kindlyjn- stincts who is not averse to turning r? cold steel and directing shot and shell against his brethren. " His verv nature revolts against such a stern : recourse. And it may be question ed whettier it is the use of force that' is so urgently required in Kentucky' -to-day as education. ' ' , The Rowan county war, which ended in the extinction of theVTolli ver faction, was in many rcspects: the result of lawlessness that result-: ed from ignorance. The people there were in dense darkness, and it is s. well established fact that where ig norance is wide-spread contempt of. authority, or at feast an unwise de fiance of it,. is one of :tbe' inevitable concomitants. - ' - Just at present the only" mission- : ary in Kentucky seems to be the -sheriff.

The Kentucky sheriff carries the revolver to be sure, but 1 it. is not on record that he also takes .: any literature with him, not even the "offices for the dead," to be read i over his converts. He is a man of war, and his armament is always', maintained for prompt service in the field.
