Affairs o(.i the isthmus are very dull and seemingly quiet, but an outbreak imminent at any time, as the labore-v emploved by t!ie Panama railroad and canal companies are on the verge a strike, owing to low es. and in- I created cost of living since Jan. 1. when 'an import duty of |0 per cent on al. invoices went into effect, and in the event of a strike of railroad employes, there is but little doubt that the sympathizers with the revolution would take advantage of the situation to secure arms and ammunition from the government department. No one is allowed on the streets of Panama and Colon without a pass after 1 p. in., and the police arc ready to disperse any crowd, even in the day time.

News of the wreck of the steamship Ameviqu, of the Campagnic Generale Transatlantique, off Kavaimilla. on Jan. 27, reached Colon Jan. HO, and the agent of the company applied to the commander of the American man-of-war Atlanta, lying off the port, for his assistance, but owing to the critical conditiou of affairs on the isthmus, and the assurance that no lives were in danger, the captain decided that his ship was needed more for the protection of American interests at Colon than to assist the French ship. I

The presence of the Atlanta at Colon and the Nymph and the Satellite, two English men-of-war, at Panama, has a salutory effect on the dissatisfied em- I ployes of the Panama Railroad company, as heretofore all strikes have resuited in the burning and pillage, not only of the railroad property, but of all other classes of property, and these peopie know that as long as a man-of-war is in the bay there will be no chance of I

plundering the stores, as the blue jackets would be sent ashore at once to protect property.

ATLANTIC

CITY,

Feb.

13.—An

attemj)t

was made late yesterday afternoon to wreck an express train on the Reading road at South Hammonton, by placing four wooden ties across ihe rails. The engineer saw the obstruction, and the oniy damage sustained was a wrecked pilot, although the passengers were shaken up and frightened.

A similar attempt was made to derail the Camden and Atlantic through express at El wood, but the ties were discovered by section hands and removed a few minutes before tlxe train came along. It is believed this is the work of tramps and a posse of farmers has been organized at Elwood to scour the surrounding country. The excitement is intense there.

Feb.

13.—Mexico-

Guatemalan negotiations continue dragging along. A prominent person says the question will surely be settled pacifically, as it is considered that Guatemala is only now trying to find a way out of the difficulty which will not smack too loudly of a backdown.

A heavy storm prevails on the gulf along the Mexican coast. Small craft are endangered.

The Mexican gunboat Libertad has left Vera Cruz for the south. Many reports were circulated in connection with her sailing, bat -ials contend that the Guatemala trouble is no connection with her orders to s.i'l.

Ji:r!-~K: soxvn,!.!•:. Lid., Feb. 13:-—The Ohio river continues baolv iror^ed at. -his point, and, having fallen, the curfeut is not strong enough now to carry the broken ice over the fails as the harbor boats break it up, and it lodges on the government dam. Should there be a sudden break-up, the probabilities are hat rhe coal tleets now anchored above this city, belonging to Captain J. T. Duffy and to Cook & Huft'maii, would almost be swept out of existence. The first has 2,500,000 bushels on board, and the latter 1,100,000 bush.'Is.

So heavy is the ice that the steamer J. C. Risher, though a heavy towboa in trying to break it, ran up on it several times, and hung up for minutes before the floes would break off. In places the gorge is over 20 feet deep. Another gorge lias formed at Wolf creek, 15 miles below here. This is the place where the great gorge of 1878 formed, running the river up 15 feet in two hours and stranding a number of steamers when it broke and the water receded.

aud X)r. Pnrkhurst .Modeled From Life.

Sit vial Correspondence.

NEW

Yoiac. Feb.

4.—Some

three years

ago a young man who had knocked .about the world to some purpose, in ihar. he had gained some lofty ideals of life, began to turn his artistic talent to practical account. The choice of a career had perplexed him perhaps more than it dors the average I'ynunu man. for rhe average yomi'i man dors nor have a number of iininal predilections each applying at i.door of Ins ambitious energy. This young man. Air. llalj.h B. (ioddard by nanu, had ta'ed enough of experience o:i !:e stage not to be wholly in love wi'.ii tie- actor's art te pursue as a life work. From early boyhood lit bad. been clever with hi pent ], rs many of his preserved sketches attisr, and douii les- it, was liiis ,-trong artistic faculty in hi- nature which linallv domiliai cd li is act vi ty.

In quite modest way Mr. tioddarl be.01 ex per it ne in

hat branch of sn.I o-

liire commonly known as bas-reliels, which, be it, said, has here .fore been alliinost. entirely neglected in ids country by "arti.-ts of ii 1 ela^-. s. In Kurope from ancient. times the small pieces of sculpture, especially medallions in marble and bronze, have been prized both as public and family possessions. In France and

Italy these little bronze pieces, during the. lil'teenth and sixteenth centuries and later, were wrought by some of the master genilexes of that time. As a matter of fact, the development, of the art of casting in bronze from a model was something of a blow and a setback to sculpture in marble, which means carving in marble. Plastic art always gains the advantago when it reaches a certain stage of perfection.

It is .a real treat to visit Mr. Goddard's studio in this city. There one will sec, first, original concepts in clay of 12 men who are among the pillars of modern English literature—namely, Thackeray, Dickens, Browning, Tennyson,Carlylo, Bryant, Poe, Ilawthorno, Whittior, Longfellow, Lowell and Emerson. These have all been reproduced in bronze and are certainly tlio most creditable examples of portraiture in bas-relief of theso intellectual worthies ever wrought, by any one sculptor. Truly has some one said that, compared with other arts, sculpture can tell but few things. Nevertheless those things it tells with unforgettablo fidelity, and its great possibility in the hands of a master is the presentment of personality, as Emerson says, not niorely the man before you, but the aspiring man within. Portrait and others painters have made this same claim for their art, but they art confined to flat surfaces and are otherwise restricted in

r.Ai.ni GODDAliD.

tho hope of accentuating individuality. The old Greek cynic spoke wisely, The laying of colors on a wall to represent something simply confuses tho verities of my observation."

But that suggests too long a chapter of discussion. Air. Goddard contends, and it seems to me justly, that tho bas-relief offers a refreshing variety of expression that is not only vitally suggestive, but absolutely true. The play of light and shadow serves to portray more clearly in its plastic proportions tho man than does tho marble bust, which 'hates forever the blows of a wornout chisel." The tendency of sculpture in the United States, as it now stands in evidence, has been and is to subordinate tho higher portraiture to general designs, whereas tho object should bo, in the main, to focus tho inward man and to make as nearly as possible concreto or at least salient tho soul and mind of the subject represented. It is natural that sculptors and painters should attempt the heroic in art as poets have attempted tho epic. But as time goes on the minds and manners of men change, and each year, in this country at least, there is less lovo of tho martial, belligerent spirit, which roused enthusiasm among our forebears.

Mr. Goddard has pressed a new button. Whether tho American public will do the rest I do not know. At all events he will not suffer, for ho has a privato income. Surely he has started in tho right direction—to produce small pieces from their subjects alone, that may be reproduced astheyaro in Europo, whero hero worship, though in reality perhaps no stronger than on our cisatlantic soil, yet somohow finds expression in plastic reproduction of popular heroes and leaders to a far greater extont. Nothing outlives ''the everlasting bronze," and thero must be in this "jowolry of art" a peculiar charm which timo only mellows. Indeed such souvenirs are tho heirlooms of time, enduring In pristino beauty long after gigantic monuments havo crumbled into dust.

Mr. Goddard models from life whenever possible, and he attempts to bring out the most salient phases of personality in each sitter. President Eliot of Harvard university, the late Dr. McCosh anil the late G. W. Chillis, Dr. Talmagc, Dr. Parkhurst and many others havo been among Mr. Goddard's sitters. Ho already has recolveil commissions which will keop him busy for years tocomo.

A (turning Mountain.

A remarkable sight reported from Australia is a burning mountain at VVingon, New South Wales, 104 miles from Sydney. It is 1,820 feet high and is supposed to be a large coal seam which has in some way bocomo ignited and lias been burning for many years. Tho course of the fire can be traced a considerable distance by tho numerous depressions or chasms caused by the falling in of the ground from beneath which the coal has been consumed.

tance is laid upon '--peaking slowly and distinctly and the perfect enunciation of every syllable. There are certain scabs of tones which are practiced daily, always low, but beautifully modulated. A long list of distinctive fads is attached to tho memory of the American woman, but none is more important than this last one. When tho immortal bard wrote that famous expression, •'Her voico was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman," ho had never heard tho typical American woman's voice. If he had, that adjective ••excellent" would undoubtedly have been expressed more forcibly. Foreigners say tho voices of our men, as a rule, are less disagreeable than those of tho women. Tho quality for which tho American voice is principally famous is penetration.

The empire fan is one of the fashionable Napoleonic fancies of tho season. It is an exact counterpart of the fan carried during that period. It is suggestive of a child's plaything and altogether too small to play the important role accorded tho graceful feather fan when wielded by tho modern coquette. Tho empire fan is neither graceful nor pretty. With an entire empire costume it would probably look better. But when carried with the present style of dress it suggests incongruities. It is made of light colored gauzes or thin silk on which are painted figures in wattea cost nines The sticks are of mother of pearl inlaid with gold, or of wood with gold or sil\er tracery. In price they are quite reasonable, some very dainty specimens being sold as low as s:S.

At the prcM-nt. linn the woman around whom more interest circles than probably any other woman in New York is Sibyl Sanderson. At, tin: hotel where she ami her attendants art: slaying the entire household is in a constant qui vivo to get a glimpse, of her No detail is too small to be of interest. Even the callboys are brown off their ordinary pedestal of calm by In melodious voice as she bids them "Entrez." for she speaks nothing but. French, anil even her Engli.-ii, st rangely, considering she is an American girl, has a strong French accent. This of course adtls greatly to the interest. And, by tho way, it is an admitted fact that -Miss Sam derson speaks French •'connne tine Pari-' sienne." This is an almost, impossible accomplishment for a foreigner anil one very few ever acquire. It is said in Paris that it is her accent more than her singing which has endeared this attractive artist to the Frencfi public.

This is the season for fancy dress balls, anil never before havo the possibilities of the feminine luasquorader's toilet been so varied. To go dressed as some vegetable is the latest vagary. For a carrot choose silk of a yellowish red shado for the skirt and the same material in tho green shade of the carrot, tops for a bodice. To go as a head of lettuce tough Japanese paper of a dull green shade makes a most effective dress. On the head a lettuco shaped hat should be worn. Palo greeu shoes, stockings and gloves complete this very original costume. Flower dresses are justly vefy popular with pretty girls. But a word to tho wise is sulliciont—unless you havo the complexion of sweet 16 select something less trying. One of tho prettiest costumes for a young matron is to go as Pierrette, sister to tho Pierrot. This dress is made of white satin and ribbon and thin white lace. Tho pointed clown's cap of white felt, whito suede gloves, whito silk stockings and square toed shoes, with laco pomponettes, are all essential to make tho costume complete.

Roller skating is to bo one of the sedate Lenten amusements among fashionable Gothamites this year. A club tho patron esses of which include tho usual listof well known society matrons has already been formed. Tho plan is to meet once a week during Lent at tho Berkeley iyceuin, and at the end of tho Lenten season to break up with a carnival. An orchestra will play on each occasion, and suitable refreshments will bo served.

Since bicycling has really becoino a fad among fashionable women the standard for wheeling costumes has certainly been very much improved, and tho woman in bloomers has become a more marked object than ever. Womanly discretion and good taste play an active part in tho fashionable woman's bicycle costume. And while knickerbockers form part of her costume they are not visible. Tho knickerbockers are lined with chamois and are vory full over tho knee and gathered just below it with an elastic band. They aru fastened at either side of the waist and have several gores over the hips. Tho newest wheeling skirt is cut to llaro well from the hips and reaches just to tho shoo tops. Scotch cheviot, tailor made, is tho favorite material for road wheeling.
