WistUXOTON, Jul 11. It Is a singu

camera, the "finest" negative ever taken
was that of an American Indian. Among
presidents, senators, orators supreme
court Judges and foreign ministers the
face and head of Red Cloud stand forth
conspicuous as the most Interesting and
artistic study. Old Red Cloud Is new at
his home in Dakota, almost beyond the
frontiers of civilization, trying his best
te get from the government a geed and
reasonable price for the lands of his
people, but his photograph, standing in
the show window of Hell's shop, is ene
of the best known pictures in the national
capital.
Occasionally lied Cloud comes down
here te sce the "great father," but he no
longer wcara the picturesque dress lit
which we see htm in this picture. New
he wears a full Buit of "stere" clothes,
as de all of the Indians who coma here.
In fact, thij photograph gallery contains
geed evidence of the evolution of civili
zation among our Indian tribes. Chief
Operator Dedgo has framed n set of pho
tographs which show at a glance the
rapid progress made by Indian chief
tains in the acquirement of European
dress and customs.
The first stage is represented by such
neble and plcturesque head as theso of
Red Cloud, Lean Wolf and Rushing
Eagle. A few years age all the Indians
who came te Washington en business

ncgative te distribute among his friends
at Lewer Brule. His 6en, a teacher nt
Hampton college, and a very bright
young man, is also proud of the picture
and orders a new supply of prints two or
three times a year.
The fourth stage of evolution, com
plete European dres3, is well Bhewn by
the photographs of American Herse and
Standing Bear, and of grim old Stand
ing Cloud. This veteran warrior was
se fend of the product of the phe
tegrapher's art that he used te spend
hours at a time in Bell's gallery, gaz
ing with undisguised admiration at
the thousands of pictures en the
walls and watching with great in
terest the "sitting" in the operating
room. He was particularly fend of
the photographs of Indian chiefs, and,
knowing the location of the large drawer
in which they are kept, used te come in
day after day, bringing along one or
another of his Indian friends te pass a
pleasant hour looking the pictures ever.
As a rule, the Indian In a photograph
gallery refuse te display any curiesltf
or interest. He is net willing te have it
appear that he is a tyro in the art. lut
tries hard te assume an air of Indlfler
eru born of long experience. Standing
Cloud is the single exception te this rule
known te the traditions of Bell's gallery,
wherein saeral hundred Indians have
beefi photographed. Inquisltlveness
shines out in the old fellow's face as a
predominating characteristic, and one is
net surprised te hear that while his com
panions were sitting grimly in a corner
of the gallery smoking their long pipes
and occasionally- grunting out some half
expressed comment, Standing Cloud was
moving about inspecting everything and
asking the Interpreter no end of ques
tions. Notwithstanding his great curi
osity, however, nothing could indues

him te go into the "dark room." That
odorous place he evidently regarded as
the seat of a black and uncanny art, and
nothing would he have te de with It
Red Cloud and hispicturcsque brethren
de net bare te pay for the photographs
which they get in Washington. Mr.
Bell makes each of his Indian subjects a
present of a dozen cabinets, as he can
well afford te de, since there is a very
geed sale for these photograph", particu
larly in Europe. England alone buys
thousands every year, and new orders
are beginning te come in from Paris.
Perhaps the Buffalo Bill rage In the
French capital may have something te
de with this.
BUSni.VO EAGLE.
One of tUe perquisites of fame is f ree
photography. Presidents, judges, sena
tors, congressmen, get their pictures
without prlce. Bell, Prince, Jarvls and
ether leading photographers here are
constantly sending out invitations te
public men te ceme for a sitting. As a
rule the subjects yield readily, but occa
sionally en obstinate man resists a dozen
solicitations. Just new Mr. Bell Is try
ing te get Postmaster General Wana
maker befere the camera. Wanamaker
has had but ene photograph taken of
himself in a dozen years, and says he
will net have another for a dozen mero.
Vet Bell may get him. He was thrce
years in getting a sitting from Mr.
Cleveland, but after the late president
had breken the ice and seen his pictures
he bocame positively fend of the counter
feit presentment of himself and ordered
prints by the score.
Bell & Prince have enjoyed u practi
cal monopoly of the sale of Mrs. Clove Cleve
land's photographs from original nega
tives. Mr. Bell says the sale of Mrs.
Cleveland's pictures has exceeded in
numbers that of any ether person In
America, and probably that of any ether
person in the world. Just, after the as
sassination of Lincoln and Garfield there
was a tremendous demand for their
photographs, but for four years the Bale
of Mrs. Cleveland's plctuie has contin
ued almost without interruption. Te
this day orders nre received net only
from all parts of the United States, but
from Canada, Europe, and even Seuth
America. Ne one is competent te esti
mate the number 6eld. but it must run
up into the millions.
"1 firmly bcllove," says Mr. Bell, "one
photograph of Mrs. Cleveland has been
Beld for every family in the United
States."
Since her marriage Mrs. Clevclaud has
probably had a greater number of bittiugs
than any ether woman in America, ossi essi
bly excepting a few actresses. Bell has
had from her twenty-seven sittings,
and Prince about twenty. In neatly
every case of a new sitting It was made
at the urgent request of Mr. Cleveland
or of friends who desired te have her
picture in a certain costume or position.
Mrs. Cleveland was very geed natured
about it, and, while net at all nfllictcd
with vanity, was willing te sit as often
as she could by se doing give pleasure te
her husband, her friends or the public.
LITTLE BKAVKH
Washington photographers say the
sale of Mrs. Cleveland's photograph con
tinues at n larger olumethan Mrs. Har
rison's, while there U very little demand
for Mr. Cleveland. Chief Justice Fuller's
photograph is new selling next te Mrs.
Cleveland's, and is one of the most popu
lar pictures ever made In the gallery,
though still, of course, far behind Legan,
Sheridan and Grant in aggregate output.
The chief justice's many admirers may
be glad te knew that In the opinion of
Operator Dedgo, who?e opinion surely is
worth something, "Mr. Fuller's face Is,
after Red Cloud's, the finest ene from nu
artistic standpoint in the gallexy. "It is
net only a fine face," says Mr. Dedge,
"it Is really a beautiful face. I llku te
have sittings from the chief justice. He
is affable, jocular and withal se admira

The supreme justices are all photo
graphed in their gowns. Usually they
corae te the gallery in carriages, bring

before his death Chief Justice Waite
surprised everybody by walking lu with
his black gown rolled under his arm, a
feat which his even mero Democratic
successor has imitated.
Almest without eyeptien the faces
displayed in this national gallery are the

As men disappear, even though grad

Yet, as Mr. Bell well remarks, one can
never tell when it will be necessary te

In Switzerland, the home of the expert

After the civil war, through the efforts
of Mr. Oeorge W. Wingate, n lawyer of
New Yerk, a club was organized, with
Cel. Church, of The Army r.nd Navy
Journal, as its president. The state
legislature appropriated $23,000 for thu
purchase of a range, nml the organiza
tion was thus made a btate affair. The
committee in charge of the purchase of
a range selected u section of land en
Leng Island belonging te a man named
Creed, and called it Creedmoor, after its
former owner. Fiem that time te date
the organization has prospered, and
many notable contests have taken place
there.
The cable dispatches fiem Europe show
that the American team is holding its

There is net new nny btrieus difference
of opinion about the French Revolution ;
we nre us far removed from the wildly
enthusiastic eulogies of Danton as from
the frautie denunciations of Edmund
Burka The theoleguo who tries te show
that the "Reign of Terrer" was caused
entirely by "Infidel writers like Voltaire
and Tem Paine" is ridiculed as merci
lessly as the wild eyed agnostic who
says with ungrammatical emphasis that
"priestcraft dene it nil." All common
sense men new realize that there was
something far back of priestcraft and
infidelity, something that touched the
French pcople mero painfully than the
atheism of Ilcbert or the felly of Marie
Antoinette, which made that revolution
te tcrrible.

of the Bastile is such nil epoch te French
men, and why w hen they rese against
the ruling classes they were be merciless
In their wrath, he must leek nt their

ized the people If you think the hor
rors of the Revolution were due te a
"want of religion," consider that France
had enjoyed u clese union cf chtrch and
state for 1,000 years; if you accept any
of the ether Beurlxm theories, consider
that France had then thu btrengest and
most paternal government In Europe.
Fer the real trouble let us briefly review
her history.
As is known te all readers, the north
ern nations which overran the Reman
empire brought with thorn well defined
ideas of personal libeityand frce par
liaments. "All the warriors met in
arms," says Dien Cassius. "The men of
influence endeavored te persuade them;
they expressed their nxscnt by clashing
their shields and their dwsenl by mur
murs; nor was there any need of a nice
scrutiny of votes where opinion inclined
ene way or the ether with such force."
The result was that In England, France,
Italy, indeed, in all the kingdoms which
grew upon the ruins of thu Reman em
pire, there were Intermediate bodies be
tween the high nud the low, there were
parliaments or ether legislative nnd mod
erating bodies which preserved the prin
ciples of liberty. In England ulene did
this embodiment of freedom survive.
In all the ether kingdoms it was either
abolished outright by the desetIsin of
the rulers or be perverted that it became
an additional cnglne of oppression. "
In Spain the certcs, in Italy the coun
cils, in France and the Netherlands the
states general and local "parlements"
finally sunk Inte mere registering bodies
they did what the king asked or or
dered, and ns far ni can new be deter
mined their functions became merely
formal. Indeed, ue writer is new able
te state with any precision what were
the original powers of the "Parliament
uf Paris," the "Estates of Brittany," the
"Certes of Castile," or the "Council of
Arragon." The summary of the whele
matter was this: There was a time when
the king could net change local laws
without the assent of the local "parlo "parle
raent" or raisu money without the vete
of a general parliament; there came a
time when (except in England) he could
de as he willed unless his people re
belled. If they rebelled, the peasants
were footmen, thu cavaliers, mounted
and cased in nriuer; ene thousand of the
lattiu- could overawe fifty thousand of
the former.
The invention of gunpowder practi
cally put an end te the old distinctions.
Knights in urmer could no longer gal
lop ever peasants nt will; castles could
be bombarded or blown up. But befere
the oppressed could realize en that fact
the ruin of the old p irllamctitary Insti
tutions was complete. In France the
farce terminated in 101 1, the states gen

At length there came a time when ex
hausted nature could bear no mero.
Several bad harvests reduced the teas
ant ry te a condition where death was
less an evil than life, and they rese in
various places, burning the castles and
murdering thu collectors. The middle
classes were infatuated by the success in
America, and imbued with infidel phil
osophy. The nobility were licentious,
arrogant, worthless. The condition of
the ruling classes is thus forcibly de
scribed by Gouverneur Merris, American
agent In Paris: "Treachery, Inconstancy
and Punic faith inhere in the very hone,

If a man of the highest rank tells jeu

A GREAT STORY TELLER.
William VTIIkls Cell In, Itercntlr Slrlcktu

Wllkle Cellins-hls full name is Will
iam Wllkie Cellins whose sevcre illness
was recently reported from Londen, is
the eldest son of the late William Col Cel
lins, who was a member of the Royal
academy and welt known as a painter of
rustle scenes. Wilkie Cellins was born
in Londen in January, 1824. Ills mother
was a sister of Mrs. Carpenter, ene of
tlw best female portrait painters of the
time. He attended a private school, after
which he spent two years in Italy with
his parents nud was then nrtlcled for
for four years te a firm in the tea trade.
Ue had no taste for commerce, however,
be, seen after serving his apprenticeship,
he took up the study of law. Ue was a
student nt Lincoln's Inn when his father
died. His earliest literary effort was a
biography of his father, with selections
from his journals and correspondence,
published in two volumes in 1849.
Frem that time Mr. Cellins deveted him
self entirely te literature, and publish
ed successively "Autenlna, or The Fall of
Heme; a Ho He Ho

"The Weman in

White," 1800; "Ne Nnme," 1802, which,
as well as the preceding novel, original
ly appeared in the columns of All the

that time. Frem 1803 te 1883 he was
quite active, presenting te the reading
publie many interesting tales, the most
prominent being "Armadale," "Mnunnd
Wife." "Miss or Mrs.," "The Law and
the Lady," "The Fallen Leaves," "A
Regue's Llfe from His Birth te His Mnr Mnr

The remarkuble fact about Greenland
is that all the central plateau, a region
nearly three times ns large as France, is
covered by one ImmeiiRe glacier, ever
moving slowly en towards the south,
whctlier by the rotary motion of the
earth or alturnate expansion and con
traction by the seasons for the short
summers nre very het nud ever grind

ravines, ene might say and ns the vast
Icy muss reaches these the great Icebergs
break off, slide down Inte the ocean and
float away, even down te the Newfound
land bunks.
On this nnrrew belt mound the Icy
plateau, between the "fjeids," llve the
Esquimaux nnd thu fuw Danish eeplu,

ble seasons geed crops of otatees and a
fuw ether vegetables can be raised, and
there is geed grass, but no grulu Is pro
duced. Thu south end Is in thoKame
latltude as the neith of Scotlund, and
lu July and part of August the weather
is called het. This means that the di
rect rays of the sun ure ewerful, but
the vast field of Ice no near prevents the
air from becoming heated. The sky ii

The Danes of Greenlaud are Danish
still, just as the Icelanders ure Norwegian
lull. But as there are only a few hun
dreds of the former, they huvouet main

w hich is the glory of Iceland, and of
Greenland literature there is practically
none. The cople are, however, gay,
courteous nud acute. They have the

eagerly for thu latest news. The w ealth

bones, teeth nnd tendons he makes many
useful implements, nnd the traffic based
en It brings him his few luxuries.
Near Julianehaab are the ruins of the
colenics founded by the Normans in the
Sixteenth century, but of' the old his
