Auguate Alexandre Philippe Charles Blanc, a distinguished French writer on fine arts, is dead. He was born at Castre Tarn, November 15, 1813, and was brought up as an engraver, but afterwards became a writer.

In 1841 he became editor of the Propagateur de L'Aube, and the followicg year he published at Paris the Almanach des Mois. He became editor of the Gazette des Beaux Arts in 18&9, and in 1S68 was elected a member of the academy of fine arts. He was the author of a number of works on art

Ex. Governor Alexander Hamilton Bullock dropped dead on the sidewalk at Worcester, Mass., Tuesday afternoon of apoplexy. He was about the street during the afternoon, and was on his way home to take his usual afternoon horseback ride. There was nothing in his appearance during the day to lead to tbe inference that be was not in his usual health. He had suffered somewhat of late from indigestion. Mr. Bullock was born at Royalston, Mass., Marob 2. 1816, graduated at Amherst college in 1830, aud began the practice of law in 1841. He Berved five terms as member of the lower house and one as senator in the Massachusetts legislature. He we eke.ed governor in 1866, and served three term*.

The scandal' concerning Russian ministers to-this country, of which so much has recently been heard, are looked upon by native Russians as libels upon their nation. Russian gentlemen refuse to ba held responsible for the representatives of their government. They say the Government does not represent tbe people. for eign adventurers of no character or position form a large proportion of the oi& cial elaes. They worm themselves into the favor of the appointing power by tha most discreditable means. Catecsxyjwas an Italian Bartholomei is a Greek, and Bodisco an Armenian. The Russian consul in New York is a Pole. It is needless to say that these people are as poor representatives ci ibe nations where they were botn as they are of Russia. The cry that there are no ladies snd gentlemen and no civilization in Ruisia is an unjust one. Russia bis civilization in abundance, and that is what c*nee3 the csar moat of hia tro

A6BICULTCRE 15 TOT CANJIKT. When Ls Due was at tbe head oi the agricultural bureau it was the height of his ambition to have his position promoted to the dignity of a cabinet office, but was never able to convince any member of congress of the importance of his scheme, at leaM as long as he remained at the head of the bureau, Le Duo's administration was noted for chimerical schemes. He succeeded in demonstrating that sugar could be manufactured from sorghum at at a cost of a dollar per pood that tea could be cultivated in some portions of the country at a cost which wonld place it beyond even tbe reach of tho wealthy, and various other impossible jeBlures too numerons to mention. -,st

The matter of making the bureau of agriculture a department with a seat in the cabinet has at last found a champion in congress, in the person of Representative Money, of Mississippi, and his plan has assumed a definite shape. He is backed by state granges, agricultural associations and individual agriculturists throughout the country, who are urging upon their representatives the importance of tho chauge. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial gives a complete eumniary of the bill introduced fer this purpose by Mr. Money on Tuesday last. The bill covers nearly every point of interest to the agriculturists of the ceuntrv, and, if passed as it has been drawn, would require a force nearly tqual to that employed by the government to carry out its provisions. The bill starts out by appointing a secretary of agriculture, at a salary of $8,000 ]5er annum, who shall be a member of the cabinet: there are also to be an assistant secretary and a chief clerk at salaries of $3,500 and $2,000 per annum respectively a bureau of education and labor to collect information regarding education and labor both at home and abroad, the cost of living, etc., of the working classes, and any other fact which may be for the welfare and advancement of the working classes. The collection of facts relating to the rural work of women is also one of the duties of the bureau of education.!} {A bureau of geological purveys is also established, and to it are to be transferred the work and employes of the geological survey. Another of its provisions is the establishment of an agricultural bureau, which is to have a general supervision ol all that the term implies, including all kinds of transportation. Then there is to be a bureau of manufactures, to which is assigned a very wide field it is charged to ascertain 'the cost of raw material and the prdceaae3 of macufacturing goods, and any other information of value to manufacturers, producers and consumers, all the coet of agricultural implements and fertilizers. Provision is made for,the establishment in each state of an experimental station to thoroughly test the adaptability of plants, seeds, fertilizers and agricultural implements to the several states, and especially with reference to the character of soils and variety of climate. Experimental stations are to be located in the vicinity of state agricultural colleges, and more than one station may be established in the same state when is deemed necessary. All valuable information is to ba published in reports and bulletins, which shall be circulated as widely as possible among the industrial classes, and reports and bulletins are to be exchanged with all agricultural journals, which latter are to be kept on file in the department library. The bill concludes with a provision that all subordinates, officers and employes shall be selected from every section of the country, with a view to representation from the widely differing climate, products and soils of the United States.

It is evident from the provisions of the bill that its author has given the subject close study and has succeeded in covering the whole ground, but it is doubtful if congress will sanction such sweeping changes and increased expenditures as Mr. Money's'effort demand*. The inclination now is'towards economy. With the arrears of pensions, the national debt, and the demands for tariff and revenue reform, a new department of the government is not one of the things of the near future.

Petroleum dealers have become aware bf the fact that they must be on the lookout for new markets for the sale of that article. Millions of barrels of crude oil are at present stowed away in the

#oil

regions—a quantity, it is s*id,

sufficient to supply the world for years. Oil has been discovered in Europe, and although it has not yet decreased tbe quantity exported from this country, it is expected that it will soon do so. Oil men are turning their attention 'to South America with a view of finding a market there, but the proppect is not at all Battering, as large deposits of coal oil have been discovered in rome parts of that portion of tbe continent, which can easily 'be procured by boring for it Indeed it is known that in Venezuela there are many fountains of coal oil, out of one of which flows daily about 5,000 gallonp, and which is of good quality. From these statements it would seem that the future of the coal 'oil trade is not at all flattering.

Tbe army ctptains are becoming impatient over the length of time which must elapse before promotion oomes to them, and fifty of their number have petitioned congress for a law providing that all officers under the grade of colonel, after fifteen years service in one grade shall be promoted to tbe next above. The petition will probably never more be heard of. It would scarcely be the proper thing to promote officers to grades in which there are no vacancies, and from which the only advantage to be derived would be an advance of pay. United States officers have BO cause for complaint. The government has taken good care of them since they were boys has given each a good education and paid him well for hia servicer.

K50WLEDSE CKDEB DIFFICULTIES. A special feature of this psper is its raiTroad department. The city editor, A. C. Duddleston, has special charge of it. He has instructions to visit the railroad offices daily and talk to railroad men and get all the newB there is available. In case of accidents, efforts are made to get all Ibe/ae/i. To this end we prefer to get them from official sources, and this is the case in regard to news cf all kind?. Mr. D. is well acquainted with the prominent railroad men and has been well treated by them except in one instance, in which he has found it extremely difficult to get intelligence. Considering that the railioad referred to is in the hands of a court receiver, it would appear that there would be no objectioa to the publication of items of general ittemt, and there may be no objection, but nevertheless, our city editor has had "a rough road to travel" in' collecting facts relative to that railroad—the Illinois Midland. Yesterday he had very good reasons for the belief that orders had been given to exclude bim and other railroad reporters from tbs Midland offices, but Mr.Genis, tbe receiver, aetures us that such is not the case, and that information relative to the workings of the road can hereafter be' obtained through him or his private secretary. This is well, as the refusal of information to the public, if it should exist, would be prima facie evidence that there is something about a railroad which the public are not desired to know. This should not be the case with a road that is in the custody of an agent of a United States iurt. Here, of all places in tbe world, everything onght to be open and aboveboerd, for the presumption is that the road is run in the interest of tbe creditors aid tbe residuary proprietors, and not for the benefit of the receiver. Whether the quality of the news will be improved by tho filtering process will be for tbe readers to judge. Tbe case is a peculiar one, but it is probably intended as an improvement on American methods, which ia this wild western country are necessarily crude and not up to the European etasdard.

Thomas B. Collins, who has been editor of the Crawfordsville Review, the old democratic organ of Montgomery county, for some years, has purchased tbs Satur* day Evening Ledger, of this city, and will take charge of it February 1st.

Mr. Collies will remove to Terre Haute as soon as he can procure a dwelling Our relations with Mr. Terry have been very pleaeanf, barring political differences which did not affect a friendship of long standing. It is hoped that he will be prosperous wherever he may locate hereafter. Mr. Collins has our best wishes for his success in business, aside from politics.

Numerous petitions are" pouring in upon congress asking for legislation to regulate the transportation of freights, and there is a etrorg feeling that congress should take decided action on the question. Even the stockholders of railroad companies are beginning to see that it would be better to have some protection against the cut-throat business which has lately been going on. Those who control the main lines and wish to gobble up tbe smaller fry will certainly oppose any such measure. They would rather continue the freeze out policy.

The Chicago authorities are considering the propriety of adding 250 men to the police force of that city, tbe extra expense incurred to bs defrayed by an increase in the cost of saloon licensee. The saloon-keepers' association is up in arms against it, and appointed a committee to wait upon the license committee of the city council, and enter a protest. The committee succeeded in having further proceedings postponed, and will probably ultimately succeed. ———wp——n—

Tbe Ashland Fiends. CATTLETTSBUBO, KY Jan. 18.—-Tha court was late in convening this morning! Ellis was placed on the stand and the cross-examination resumed. He spoke loud and clearly. Neal, the prisoned waa very talkative and frequently prompted his ccunscl. Ellis was asked by his counsel if a private conversation could be told in court which Ellis, Wise and counsel had some days ago. Ellis said, *\Not yet." Ellis was told to face the jury and state if he was not lying throughout. He looked the jury square in the face and stated with unusual emphasis that he believed in God and expected to answer for hia statements, and then declared postively that Neal and Craft tvere the persons without tho possibility of a mistake, who committed the murder. Counsel read the additional confession to Ellis as made in jail at Maysville and witness stuck to it cloeely. Brown is making the crossexamination searching, which is still in pro frags, but Ellis does not waver from his first statements. All other witnesses are strictly prohibited fiom the room during the examination of Ellis. The court room was packed with a more intelligent audience than heretofore. The interest is growing.

COSKZJ SO AND THE CABUTXT. WASHINGTON,Jan.18.—The promptness which Senator Davis of Illinois, has displayed in pressing the bill to retire Justice Hunt, of the Supreme Court, hes revived the talk about ex-Senator^ Conkling coming into the Cabinet. It is said that Secretary Folger ia to succeed Hunt upon the Supreme Bench, and that Conkling will be made Secretary of the Treasury. Davis is a warm and intimate friend of Conkling, and believea he would make a brilliant Cabinet officer. Folger's experience in the Treasury has not been such as to make him desire to fill the position for a full term. He has been annoyed very much by applicants for appointments, and has otherwise found the position a trying one. He came just when public attention waa directed to irregularities that had existed in the disbursement of the contingent fund, and he has endeavored to watch all the details of the department, with a view of detecting and preventing wrong doing, even on a small Bcale. He is said to be very willing to return to judicial life. The bill to retire Hunt will no doubt para wilhoutdelay.

BOUGH ON SHEBMA.N.

WASHINGTON, January 18—J. A. Eoarson, a colored man of education and intelligence, and formerly clerk in the Treasury Department, appeared before tbe Senate contingent fund investigating committee, yesterday, in obedience to a subpoena, and was recalled to-day. He testified that be was granted two months' leave of absence in the summer of 1880, by Secretary Sherman, and sent South te work up delegations in the interest of Sherman for President. He swore that he was sent on this errand by Secretary Sherman himself, and that he received all of his instructions from Sherman that he was authorized to make use of Federal appointments wherever he could secure support for Sherman that he went to Arkansas, in which State he claimed his residence, and consulted with ex-Senator Clayton that he was authorized by Sherman to place certain federal patronage in Clavton'ti control, if the latter would agree to work for Sherman. Emerson testified that he found all the leading Republicans of Arkansas and the South for Grant, and that he saw it would be impolitic for him to antagonize that sentiment that instead of working for Sherman, he gave his support to Grant, and went to the Chicago Convention in Grant's interest that on the very day of his return from Chicago to Washington he was discharged from the position in the Treasury he had acceptably filled for three yearB. He swore that different Southern Republicans were promised Federal offices if they would agree to support Sherman that Pinchbeck was to have the Naval Office at New Orleans for that consideration he agreed to work up a Sherman delegation from Louisiana that there was some difficulty in the way of removing the incumbent of that office, and Sherman wanted Pinchbeck to taks another, but Pinchback refused, and after being disappointed went to Louisiana and organized a Grant delegation. Emerson swore that Secretary Sherman authorized him to offer to a certain Arkansas Republican whom he named, the appointmeut of collector of internal revenue for that State, if he wonld pledge himself to vote for 8herman at Chicago.

Senator Allison, Chairman of -the Committee, asked Emerson how many treasury employeys there were at the Chicago Convention.

Emerson replied that there must have been at least 100. Senator Allison then asked: "Don't you think there were 1,000?"

Emersoo: "Well, I said 100 because I prefer to keep within bounds." Senator Allison: "Well, I think there were over 1,000, judging from the numbei I saw."

Emerson to-day reaffirmed his testimony of yesterday, and the committee will call other witnesses whom he has mentioned to ascertain what they have to tell in this branch of the'subject. The fact that Emerson was discharged while Sherman was Secretary, and that he has a grievance against the latter, tends to mike the committee feel doubtful about his statements

into his office, and fishing out an old account-book from the lower drawer of his desk, and turning oyer the leaves, pointed to a page on which waa an account with George W. De Longt and his receipt for weekly payments. 'There.1' said ««Our John," "that was in 1861. At that time George W. De Long was in my law office, in New York, at a salary of $3 per week. He was a bright, smart boy, and I took a great liking to him. He was crazy to enter the navy, and I saw the boy's taste was very strong in that direction. He attended the public school in Greenwich street, ana his teacher gave a most excellent account of his studious character and bright scholarship. About that time Ben Wood was in congress, and appointed some lad to the naval academy. I went to Mr. Wood and obtained from him a promise that if he had the, chance to make another appointment he would give it to me. Wood was a friend of mine, but when he made the promise he had no Idea that he would have a chance to redeem it. A few months after De Long came to my office one day in great excitement, and said the young man Mr. Wood had appointed had been obliged to leave the naval academy because nis eyes had given out, and another appointment would have to be made. He Begged me to see Wood at once. I went to Mr. Wood and recalled the promise. He remembered it, and, what was better still, redeemed it, although there was a great pressure brought to bear upon him to appoint someone else. But he gave the appointment to De Long who went to Newport—whither the naval academy had been removed from Baltimore, because of the war—and passed with credit: but word came from Washington not to admit Wood's appointee. He had made the appointment a day or so too late, and as he was not in accord with the administration they took advantage of the technical mistake. De Long came back from Newport the picture of despair, but I hurried him to Washington with letters of introduction to various persons, and he came back with the appointment, the happiest young fellow you ever saw. He entered the naval academy and passed with credit, and afterwards served on various naval stations. His subsequent history we all of course know. The little I did for the boy was done because I saw the young fellow had the right sort of stuff in him, and would ainount to something, and the result shows I was not far out of the way in my estimate of the lad.— Brooklyn Eagle.

The American Horse.

The shipments of horses from this country are considerable, but their character is not so well known, says a New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette.

One of the largest lots ever ed from this country was sent to England in the summer of 1878 to fill an order from the American Tram Railway company of London. About 2,000 horses were shipped on this order. C. H. Smith, President of the company, ih a letter to the shipper of the horses on this side wrote: "The American horses are the toughest and most hardy of any that we cast get. I would give two French horses for one American horse any day."

Since their merits have become known many American horses Iiave been shipped abroad annually, though in smaller lots than that mentioned. The class of horses that it pays to ex-

Eorses,

ort is either composed of low priced but hardy and fair sized animals, such as are used on street railways, or else is made up of handsome and stylish coach horses. For the latter there is a continued demand, and a French buyer has recently paid as high as $450 each for coach horses at the Bull's Head Market, in this city, for shipment to Paris. These horses are $50 higher than at this time last year. Car horses are about $10 higher on an average. The street car companies are now using a better class of horses than a few years ago. On the Sixth Avenue line, for instance, many fine teams can be seen, some of which cost $350, the price for single animals ranging from $125 to 8175

A French company, which has a contract with the French government, is now buying horses extensively in the West, the animals being destined for the use of the French cavalry. This demand, if the horses can be got to fill it, will bcthe largest shipment of horses probably that nas ever been made from this country in many years. The broker who attends to shipping the horses from this port said recently that the company wished to ship 5,000 horses. Persons familiar with the horse market, however, say that so many cannot be got together. "We are shipping for the French cavalry," said he, "a class of horses similar to those used on street cars, about fifteen and a half hands high, and weighing on an average 1,000 pounds. The buyer has no difficulty in buying such stock at from $90 to $115."

The Oolored Social Sensation of Galveston. Jim Webster's friends were joking bim yesterday because he had not been down to the lodge for a whole week.

Old Uncle Mose said, 'Til bet de reason you don't come down no moah to see us boys am because yer wife won't let yer come." "Tain't dar ar. She invites me to go out ebery evenin'." "But she don't gib yer any money ter spend. She jess hides yer portmonie," said Gabe Snodgrass, tauntingly. "Gemmens," said Jim Webster, "de hull pack of yer am barkin' updo wrong tree. My wife am jess-too willing for me to quit de house after dark." "Waffar does she want yer to git outen de house P" "Y6u see, Parson Whangdoodle Beecher's wife am absent from de city jess now." "Well, what ob it" "Nuffin, 'cept when Parson Whangdoodle Beecher kin prowl around after dark, I stays at home. Dat's all. Does yer ketch on P' said Jim Webster.

Mrs. Jim Webster has heretofore belonged to the creme de la creme of Austin colored soeiety, and no breath oi suspicion has ever been raised as to her reputation. What makes this social scandal all the more to be deplored, is the fact that she is the mother of nine children at leafct—Galveston (Texas), News.

One hundred and seventy years ago tho Emperor Joseph I of Germany died from small-pox, in spite, or rather because, of his physician'8 treatment. These intelligent gentlemen wrapped him in twenty yards of scarlet broadcloth, and kept all the air possible out of his room. Such folly would be impossible nowadays, but the science of §051 may be as contemptuous of some of that of 1882 as 1882 is of 1711.

THi NEW YORK SUN

The Sun for 1882 will make its fifteenth annuel revolution under tbe present management, shining, ss always, for all, big and little, mean

can and Democratic, depraved and virtuous, intelligent and obtnse. The Sun's light is for mankind and womankind of every sort but its genial warmth is for the good, while it pourshot discomfort on the blistering backs of the persistently vricked.

The Sun of 1868 wss a newspaper of anew kind. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude of the superflous words and phrases of ancient journalism. It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event of human interest, and commenting upon sflaiia with the fearlessness of absolute independence. The success of this experiment was the success of It effected a permanent change in the style of American newspapers. Every Important journal established in this country in tbe dozen years past has been modeled after the Sun. Every important journal already existing has been modified and bettered by the force of The Sun's example.

The Sun of 1882 will be the same outspoken, truth-telling, and interesting newspaper. By the liberal use of tbe means which an abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it better than ever before.

We shall print all the news, putUng it into readable shape, and measuring lte Importance, not by the traditional yardsUck, but by its real interest to tbe people. Distance from Printing House Square is not the first consideration with the Sun. Whenever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, whether it happens in Brooklyn or in Bokhara.

In politics we have decided opinions and are accustomed to express them in language that can be understood. We say what we think about men and events. That habit is the only cretse the Sun's political course.

The Weekly 8un gathers into eight pages the

Of tbis magnificent painting—the mest important of Dore'a works—a pure line steel engraving has just been completed in England. This engraving is only sold by subscription, aod the price is JE6. or about |30. It is absolutely impossible to secure a copy at a less price, except through'this offer. The engraving represents the Savior aa be is ltaviog the Prietorium, after being condemned to cruoifiction. He is descending the steps leading from the judgment court. At tbe foot of tbe stepa stands two burly executioners, in charge of the cress which the Savior is to bear. On the right are the followers and believers of Christ, with despair in their every look, while the mother of our Lord is an agonized and hinting attendant. In the rear aud on the left are the judges snd scoffers, surrounding Pontius Pilate, who are looking with fierce complacency on their work. The central figure is that of Christ, aa he uncomplainingly descends tbe steps to take up the cross and bear it to he scene of his crucifixion. QTbe work in this portion of the engraving is more perfect and beautiful than we had supposed could ever be executed. The expressions of the faces, the grouping of the figuies1 and the careful attention -to detail in the drapery and accessories of the picture, are all carried out in perfection and with consummate skill. There is a vuy large number of figures in the work, snd all are depicted with life-like faithfulness. It stands today unquestionably The Finest and Hlost Valuable

Engraving in the World. The engraving of the plates cost upward of $30,000, and no copies from it are sold at a lets price than $30, which, with duties aud shipping added, brings the coet to American purchasers to about $40 per copy.
